Here are a few highlights from the Committee Resolution:

• There are 4 permanent advisory committees with varying maximum numbers of members that will be used by the association.  These are the Architectural Control, Landscaping, Welcome, and Social Advisory Committees. See the List of Volunteers
• The Board may create Special Action Committees for special projects it deems appropriate.
• Additionally, if you would like to volunteer for work projects in the community, please let us know as well.  We would like to compile a list of homeowners we can call on for assistance if needed.  If you have already expressed interest in volunteering, please do so again.

Here are a few highlights from the Covenant Enforcement and Fining Policy:

• This policy will go into effect on October 18th, 2009.
• This policy creates a standardized format for all members to register complaints.
• Courtesy notices may be sent to owners for violations if the board deems it appropriate.
• Formal notices of violation will be sent if a violation goes unresolved.  They will have a specific deadline to meet and if not met will outline the fines that will be assessed if the owner refuses to comply.
• Owners may request a hearing before the board before any fines are assessed.
• Final notices following the deadline will also be delivered.
• Corrective assessments may but are not required to be administered by the board.

The Association relies on its members voluntary compliance with the covenants set forth.  It is the Board’s duty to enforce those covenants as fairly and uniformly as possible.  This process will ensures those things for the benefit of all members.
