They should do some maintenance in Fountains I. The mattresses are pretty bad. I told them about this already.

Will this be included with our maintenance fee or will it be a "special" fee that we will have to pay in addition to the regular maintenance fee? We own in courts and had to pay extra last time it was updated.

There isn't going to be a special assessment for this refresh, its part of the reserve fees collected with the normal maintenance fees.

How do they decide when the Special Assessment needs to be collected vs using the reserves. I assume it comes dow to cost, if it is covered with the reserves there is not need to collect a Special Assessment.

I think it depends if they planned far enough in advance or not. If they have enough cash in reserves to cover the renovations, then there is no need for a special assessment.
