Wherecan I find out thelast time my HOA registered its by-laws with the city/county/state?
My HOA management has not done any visible or physical improvements that I’ve seen since June. They have not held a meeting and refuse to cooperate with the homeowners on our requests to hold a homeowner’s meeting. Who can I contactif the HOA committee is not willing to respond? And what can be done?

You can check through your local registry of deeds to see if your by-laws were registered. Further, check with your secretary of state to see if it requires technical non-profit associations like HOAs (homeowners' associations) to register with its agency. Third, check with the Utah Attorney General or your local HUD office to see if it regulates or has some sort of jurisdiction over HOA complaints. If neither do, you may be forced to bring a civil suit to acquire what you need but first read your bylaws very carefully if it addresses such matters and what the residents who are not the HOA president/vice president etc can do to take those individuals off of those duties and elect new people.
