Based on feed back from the community at the Special Community Meetings that were held on March 6th and March 7th, the Bylaws Amendment Proposal to adopt new rules and enforcement of Covenant violations will be not voted on at this time.  Specifically, community members expressed concern around the fines and wanted to see more definition regarding the fines.  The proposal of “up to $50 per day” created the potential for too much subjectivity.
 
Community members that attended the meetings were generally supportive of the concept, but wanted a more defined fine schedule.  The Board will host a Focus Group meeting (or meetings) in the months to come.  The objective of the meeting(s) will be to generate a more defined fine schedule and make a recommendation to the Board.  The Board will take the recommendation under advisement and then propose an updated Amendment Proposal for the community to vote on. 
 
We encourage all residents to participate in the Focus Group meeting(s). 
 
The other Amendment proposal to change the arbitration venue to Snohomish County Superior Court found generally favorable response by those that attended the meetings.  The way that the CC&R’s are written now, arbitration must be handled through the American Arbitration Association.  The closest office is in California and this organization is much more costly to use than using the Arbitration rules of Snohomish County Superior Court.
 
Thanks again to the residents that attended the meetings on March 6th and 7th.  We look forward to continued dialogue as we work through the proposed Bylaws change.
