Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland

My HOA board is moving forward with a pond renovation project expenditures based on approval for an assessment only. Not only that, since the cost can't be supported in the budget, they are moving to run electric to a homeowners house to supply an electric pump. They are not using licences, insured or bonded staff. Can they be stopped? And aren't homeowners liable for any injuries? We don't carry liability insurance.

Any contractors hired for this project should be licensed and bonded.
