3 II. INTRODUCTION, ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES This guide is designed to provide you with the general rules and regulations of this community, and to provide you with information concerning the Board of Directors (BOD) and a professional management company that help govern it. Rules are a necessary part of any community. They serve two (2) main functions. First, they help ensure that La Mesa Racquet & Swim Club is a community we will all be proud to live in and secondly they help control costs. As these Rules and Regulations are modified, this information is published in the community newsletter. La Mesa Racquet & Swim Club is self-governing. Its rules and activities are controlled by you, the homeowner, through your elected BOD. The extent of your participation or membership on this BOD will directly affect the quality of life here. We urge you to volunteer just a small amount of time each month, perhaps one hour, to the community. La Mesa Racquet & Swim Club is a nonprofit corporation. Its governing laws are Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, commonly referred to as the CC&Rs, Corporate Bylaws, and rules adopted by the Board of Directors. The BOD is an elected body of five (5) Homeowners who are charged with the responsibility of the management of La Mesa Racquet & Swim Club. The BOD includes four offices: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, plus one Member at Large. The BOD and a management company Representative currently meet once each month. The first 15 minutes is devoted to an Owner s open forum. At this time Owners and Residents are invited to address questions, problems, and ideas to the BOD. The management company is employed by the La Mesa Racquet & Swim Club to carry out operational policies of the BOD, including maintenance and upkeep of the grounds and building exteriors. These jobs are contracted to individual companies based upon the quality of their work and bids. In addition, the management company is also responsible for the monthly assessment billings and emergencies

4 Who is Responsible? Since this is a community of which you are a member, ultimately the responsibility is yours. First, you have the responsibility of knowing and obeying the community rules. In part, that is the purpose of this guide. Second, you are responsible for reminding your guests and neighbors if they are breaking the rules. Finally, you are responsible for written notification to the management company of problems or ideas for improvements. The management company will then forward your letter to the BOD. A. All persons are expected to observe the Rules and Regulations contained within this document at all times. B. All owners are held responsible and liable for their Tenants and/or Guests and pets, and for any damage which they may cause to the common area. Tenants are to be given a copy of the Rules by the Owner. C. Each Resident is entitled to quiet enjoyment. No obnoxious or offensive activity (foul language or cursing included here) shall be carried on in any unit or upon any part of the project, nor shall anything be done which may be or may become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood. D. Fire, public liability, and property damage insurance for the Common Area and the structural units are carried under a master policy. Premiums for the master policy are part of Owners monthly maintenance fees. This policy does not cover personal belongings or personal liability within a unit. Each Resident is required to provide personal coverage within the unit. III. EMERGENCIES/IMPORTANT NUMBERS Only genuine emergencies should be telephoned to the management company office. The BOD has directed the management company not to act on telephone complaints that are not of an emergency in nature. This procedure is essential to proper management of this community. If the office is closed, the telephone recording will tell you what steps to take in the event of a maintenance emergency. Please don t call tradesmen yourself unless you are willing to pay the bill as the Association will, in most cases, not reimburse you. It is best if all non-emergency problems, suggestions, and communications are submitted in writing by letter. Parking permits are obtained at the management company office or, if prior arrangements are made, the management company will bring permits, forms, etc. to the monthly BOD meetings. When submitting a letter, please ensure that it is legible and complete with date, problem, unit number, specific nature of the problem, and your name and a phone number and time you can be reached. If you do not receive a verbal or written acknowledgment to your letter within 15 working days, or the problem has not been resolved, submit a follow-up letter making reference to the first letter and requesting immediate reply, also request a copy be forwarded to all Board members. Remember that not every issue raised will be resolved immediately. The BOD budgets and plans work to be accomplished on an annual basis

5 The LMR&SC posts the meeting schedule for BOD meetings on the mailbox bulletin board. Other forms of announcements are placed there and in the glass case by the pool. Residents are encouraged to check the bulletin board on a regular basis when entering the community. USEFUL PHONE NUMBERS: Management Company Office...

7 VI. FINE SCHEDULE AND RULES ENFORCEMENT The Association s management company is dedicated to providing Owners and Residents with all the necessary information needed to file complaints or to respond to a complaint. Current Rules and Regulations are compiled in this handbook. The CC&Rs and Bylaws are available through the management company. Should you have any questions concerning the information contained in the Rules and Regulations, Bylaws, or CC&Rs, please contact the BOD or the management company. Procedures for Enforcement for Rules and Regulations: The Association and/or any Owner has the right to enforce the Association's governing documents. This right includes requesting the violator to cease the offending action, taking legal action against the violator and making a complaint to the BOD. Once a Resident gives the BOD a written complaint that a rule has been violated, the BOD will investigate the allegation and may take action against the responsible Owner, including but not limited to, fining or specially assessing, if appropriate, or instituting legal action. However, nothing in this section obligates or requires the BOD or authorized committee to take any action against an individual Owner. The BOD, in making this decision, will determine the costs and benefits of taking such action. Every Owner and Resident has the opportunity to file a written complaint when they have observed or witnessed a violation of any of the governing documents, including, but not limited to the Rules and Regulations and the CC&Rs. The complaint must be in writing, identifying the violation, the type of violation, as well as the date, time, and location of violation. This written complaint should be submitted to the management company. The management company forwards copies of this written complaint to each of the current BOD. There will be a review of each complaint at the monthly BOD meeting. The BOD reviews these complaints and votes to notify or not notify the unit Owner in writing of the violation. If it is determined that the Owner is to be notified of the violation, a letter will be written by the management company to the Owner of the unit in violation. This letter will specify which Rule and Regulation was violated. The Owner will have fifteen (15) days from receipt of the letter to respond to the letter and correct the violation. If the Owner feels that he or she has received the violation notice in error, the Owner can write to the management company disputing the violation or attend the BOD meeting and state his/her case at the monthly meeting. If the Owner fails to correct the violation within the fifteen (15) day period, the Owner has more than one of the same violation within the previous twelve (12) months, or the Owner disputes the violation, the management company can also proceed to a formal hearing during a BOD meeting and will provide the Owner with the date and time of such hearing. Within fifteen (15) days following the hearing, the management company will render the BOD s ruling in writing informing the Owner of the decision and its basis
