(i) From time to time, on an as-needed, or on a standing basis, the Board of Directors will appoint a Grievance Committee, made up of dwelling unit owners who have no connection to the violation in question, which will determine whether there is probable cause to assert that a dwelling unit owner or other person is violating, or has violated, any of the provisions of the Declaration of Restrictions and Protective Covenants, the Articles of Incorporation, the By-Laws, or the Rules and Regulations of the Homeowners’ Association. In the event the Grievance Committee determines that such probable cause exists, it will make a report to the Board of Directors.

(ii) If a hearing is timely requested, the Grievance Committee will hold the same on the date and time and at the place set forth in the notice, and will hear and receive the response of the violator and dwelling unit owner, if other that the violator, including written and oral argument on all issues involved and will hear any witnesses that the alleged violator, the dwelling unit owner, or the Grievance Committee, or its agents, may produce. Any party at the hearing may be represented by counsel.

(iii) Subsequent to any hearing , or if no hearing is timely requested and if no acknowledgement and promise are timely and properly made, the Grievance Committee will determine whether there is sufficient evidence of a violation or violations as provided herein. If the Grievance Committee determines that there is sufficient evidence to support a finding that a violation or violations occurred, it will send a written recommendation to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will send a written notification to the violator, and the dwelling unit owner, if other than the violator, announcing the finding that a violation or violations occurred and notifying the violator, and dwelling unit owner, if other than the violator, that fines will be assessed and levied as provided herein unless the violation is corrected within three (3) days from the notice from the Board. No further notice or hearing will be necessary to enable the Board to levy fines for an uncorrected violation, or violations, or for recurring violations substantially similar to violations fo which a hearing opportunity was previously provided.

(iv) A fine pursuant to this section will be assessed against the dwelling unit which the violator occupied or was visiting at the time of the violation, whether or not the violator is an owner of that dwelling unit, and will be promptly paid to the Homeowners’ Association by the owner of that dwelling unit. The dwelling unit owner will be liable for attorney’s fees and costs incurred by the Homeowners’ Association incident to the levy or collection of the fine, including appellate proceedings.

(v) Nothing herein will be construed as a prohibition of or a limitation on the right of the Board of Directors to pursue other means to enforce the provisions of the various Homeowners’ Association documents, including, but not limited to, legal action for damages or injunctive relief. In the event such other means are pursued, the Homeowners’ Association will not be required to comply with the procedures and provisions of this fining language.
