You need to check your bylaws. What the board is suggesting comes under the
term capital expenditures. In my HOA the board is authorized to contract for
normal expenditures already approved and to raise the HOA fee IF necessary
to cover those expenses.

Capital expenditures for new projects requires a 75% majority vote of the
entire association or a simple majority where 60% of the members are
attending the meeting. The easiest way to vote against a popular concept is
to not attend. It is real hard for them to bet 60% of the owners in one
place at one time. (BG)

Again it all comes down to what your bylaws say.

In Florida, the board has to maintain the property and can vote any size
special assessment. To make a material alteration, it take a majority
of owners. The board can maintain or repair the pool on it's own vote.
But if they want to put a pool where there is none, that is a material
alteration. Board members in Florida can be held personally liable for
failing to maintain. If your board is hearing complaints because autos
are damaged from hitting pot holes, then the repave is likely justified.
