  • Process remained unchanged – first letter sent, wait 30 days, then board votes on fines and any approved fines are communicated to the member
  • Fines need to be adjusted on a charging scale – currently $100/issue/month except for Air B&B fines which are $1,000/month
  • Board must have consistent documentation and be notified in a timely manner by compliance committee, otherwise Board has no record of a violation
  • Committee would like to discuss raising fees – KG to check bylaws as fees may be outlined there, which would mean any changes would need to go to the community for a vote
  • Compliance Committee to submit expenses for reimbursement

Events

  • Summer Pickleball and Picnic

  • Late August, early September?
