Can HOA threaten through an amendment, payment for a road paving that was, Board-admittingly, not voted nor approved by the members, but done anyway?

HOA Board of seasonal area, with 3-4 yr round residents out of maybe 30 residents, of which they are the Board members, dictate all rules and regs. Road paving was done without approval/vote of members, just the Board. Now they demand each member pay for the paving with the threat of being "tossed out" of the HOA. This would not be an issue except the HOA owns property adjacent to the members. Members joined the HOA under the premise/promise, w/written 1st right of refusal to purchase the section adjacent to their own property when the HOA dissolves. The threat via an 'amendment' (a year after the paving was completed), was made that they would 'sell the property to whoever for whatever they want, to do with whatever.' The road was paved so the yr rounders could have it plowed more easily and provide them with a better main entrance. Those of us who are seasonal 'don't care' about either. Road paving was paid for by a Board member & now he wants the members to pay him back.
