CONTINUATION

please let us know why you do not support the rule. By providing thoughtful comments, you will help the Board have a better understanding to make an informed decision on the rule. Comments submitted could also ameliorate the proposed rule.

At the January meeting, a new rule was approved by the Board regarding Director and Board meeting conduct rules. Section C addresses meeting conduct. The Board will only discuss matters listed under C-1 during Executive Sessions. All other matters for the Board to consider will be discussed and voted upon at open monthly member meetings. The remainder of section C defines the conduct at open meetings. Community members will have 3 minutes to address the Board during the open forum portion. Should a member wish to address an item on the agenda, they are asked to fill out a member comments form with a request to address the Board and provide the form to the Board. The Board President will no longer allow extraneous comments from members. The President may allow comments from members related to agenda items. Civil code does not allow the Board to discuss or take action on any item that is not on the meeting agenda. The Board will not comment on input during member's forum.

People have suggested human interest articles to be published in the Breeze. Fun articles about the Tahoe Keys, Community members, interesting facts and stories about Tahoe, and member accomplishments are all suggestions for Breeze articles. I encourage all Tahoe Keys property owners to submit human interest articles to Operations Manager Heather Houston (HHouston@tahoekeyspoa.org) for consideration as an article in the Keys Breeze. The Breeze needs to be more than discussion of rules. Interesting or fun articles will make people look forward to each issue of the Breeze for reading enjoyment.

Respectfully, John Gonzales TKPOA Board President

Find Your Love Languages

According to psychologist Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, it is essential for people to feel love and belonging to reach optimal health and wellness. Valentine’s Day, whether you celebrate the holiday or not, reminds us of love. The word “love” can be confusing and have different meanings for everyone.

Dr. Chapman, the author of The Five Love Languages, writes that “some of my encounters with couples through the years that brought me to realize that what makes one person feel loved does not necessarily make another person feel loved. For a number of years, I have been helping couples in the counseling office discover what their spouse desired in order to feel loved.

Eventually, I began to see a pattern in their responses. […] Their answers fell into five categories. I later called them the five love languages.”

So what is your love language? Below is a brief explanation of the five love languages. Take a few minutes and contemplate how you express love and how you like to be loved.

1. Words of Affirmation Language: Love is expressed by simply telling one another positive aspects about each

other. For example, words of affirmation can include statements such as, "You are a beautiful person," and "You are my best friend."

2. Quality Time Language: Couples share their love for one another by spending quality time together. This aspect

requires the individuals to focus their attention on one another in ways such as open communication, both listening and speaking, and spending time with one another doing activities that are enjoyed by both individuals.

3. Receiving Gifts Language: Another language of love that individuals can share is the concept of receiving gifts.

Some individuals see the act of providing one another with material objects, regardless of their cost, as an act of love. Without these acts of giving and receiving individuals who use this type of love language will feel deprived in their relationship.

4. Acts of Service Language: Individuals who express love via the acts of service language are prone to seeing such tasks, like chores and various household tasks, as acts of love. In order for two individuals to experience the acts of service language together, both individuals need to be willing to step outside of their typical household routines and perform one another's tasks for the sole purpose of being kind to one another.

5. Physical Touch Language: The physical touch language is simply the idea that individuals feel loved and

comforted by being in close physical contact with one another in various ways, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing and sexual intercourse. Physical touch between couples can vary depending upon what each individual in the relationship is comfortable with.

You may notice you like to give and receive love in different ways. This Valentine’s Day consider investing some energy into giving and receiving love or developing a deeper understanding of your loved ones in order to increase your well-being and satisfaction within your relationships. If you are interested in finding out more about your love language, take a free assessment on Gary Chapman’s website: 5lovelanguages.com.

TKPOA Update Project

GOVERNING DOCUMENT

By Kirk Wooldridge – General Manager

W

hen you purchased your property in the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) you should have received copies of all our governing documents- including the TKPOA Operating Rules, prior to or at closing. Sometimes these documents get lost among all the other papers you received at closing. Many Property Owners are so involved moving into their homes, they don’t take the time to read all the fine print.

As a Property Owner, you have a right to these documents; so, if you don’t have copies for any reason, let us know, and we’ll provide them to you. They can also be located on the TKPOA website at www.tkpoa.org.

It’s our responsibility to make these documents— the Bylaws, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (C.C. & R’s), Articles of Incorporation, Architectural Control Rules and TKPOA Operating Rules as understandable as possible, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, please let us know. We’ll be glad to clarify any confusing language or give you other materials that will further answer your questions.

Keys Breeze

|

It’s very important to have copies of these “Governing Documents” because you are expected to know and comply with all rules and regulations of the TKPOA. You’ll also want to stay informed by reading all materials provided by the TKPOPA through the monthly Keys Breeze, “Email Eblast’s”, Association mailings, and website information. That old expression—ignorance of the law is no excuse—isn’t exactly our motto, but it’s close.

Of course, it’s your responsibility to provide the TKPOA with your current mailing address, phone number, and email address (particularly non-resident owners). This enables us to meet our obligation to provide all Property Owners with the required information and overall general communication from the TKPOA. Please contact the TKPOA Office to update your contact information and submit a new Form 4041 – Request for Annual Notice of Address, Representative and Rental Status. Form 4041 is also available on the TKPOA website and can be mailed to the Front Desk at info@tahoekeyspoa.org.

THE PROCESS OF AMENDING GOVERNING DOCUMENTS The last time that Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) “Governing Documents” were updated and amended was in 1991. They are now in dire need of being revised again in order to comply with California’s constantly changing legal landscape.

As a common interest development (CID), The TKPOA is governed by many provisions of California law, including the Corporation code and the Civil Code (Davis –Stirling Common Interest Development Act). In addition to state, local and federal laws, any CID development is governed by its governing documents. The “Governing Documents” for TKPOA are the Bylaws, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (C.C. & R’s), Articles of Incorporation, Architectural Control Rules and TKPOA Operating Rules. Like state and federal laws and municipal ordinances which govern its citizen’s conduct, our “Governing Documents” are the foundation for governing this association. Since 1991 California Legislature has enacted numerous new laws which supersede many of our governing document provisions. In addition to the Davis- Stirling Act, there have been significant revisions of other state and federal laws, resulting in our existing “Governing Documents” being outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate concerning important aspects of our operations.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT Your Board of Directors decided in 2015 that it is in the TKPOA’s best interest to start the process to amend or restate our “Governing Documents” in order to properly conform to changes in California statues that have occurred since the Associations inception. The Board regards these proposed amendments and updates as a way to make the TKPOA more effective and a means of ensuring that Property Owners and prospective Owners can rely upon the “Governing Documents” as accurately describing how the association will operate. To move this project forward, the Board engaged legal counsel – Berding and Weil, specializing in CID law, to assist in drafting proposed changes so that documents are

legally in line with state statues, best practices, and are enforceable. The Board of Directors has worked on reviewing the “Governing Documents” through proposing changes, amendments, and corrections through Board, and Subcommittee meetings from 2015-2017 with the result of a completed third draft. In 2018 the TKPOA has contracted with new legal counsel Richardson-Ober, which is now responsible to complete this project and develop an implementation plan for the required TKPOA Property Owner communication and membership voting.

Your past Board of Directors has found being in compliance with state statues important enough to justify investing some of your assessment dollars in this process. Now the 2018-2019 Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff will work toward moving this project forward during the next operating year and beyond. If you are interested in contributing to this “Governing Document Update Project”, please contact Jo Ann Wilson – TKPOA Administrative Assistant at 530-542-6444 extension 223 or jwilson@tahoekeyspoa.org.

TRPA Approves New Shoreline Plan

By Tom Lotshaw, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency Governing Board unanimously adopted a new Shoreline Plan for Lake Tahoe in October following three years of collaboration by the agency and a broad range of partners to develop the plan.

“This plan’s adoption is a landmark achievement for Tahoe,” said Joanne Marchetta, TRPA executive director. “Through this collaborative process, we have reached a plan that is fair and will benefit lake recreation and the environment at Tahoe.”

The Shoreline Plan marks a milestone in TRPA’s decades-long work to update shorezone regulations and lift a longstanding moratorium on new piers and buoys at the lake. The moratorium was based on outdated science on impacts to fish habitat.

Developed through a highly collaborative, mediated process, the Shoreline Plan aims to improve recreation access and safety on the lake while protecting the environment along the shoreline.

Many partners helped develop the plan, including TRPA, Lake Tahoe Marina Association, Tahoe Lakefront Owners’ Association, League to Save Lake Tahoe, Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, Nevada Division of State Lands, and California State Lands Commission. The California Attorney General’s office also provided critical input.

The plan sets development caps and regulations for new shoreline structures such as piers, buoys, and public boat ramps. It also creates a framework for marinas to expand or reconfigure if they incorporate environmental improvements into the project.

“We hope the incentives included in this plan will provide excellent opportunities to improve recreational access and environmental protection for generations to come,” said Jan Brisco, executive director of the Tahoe Lakefront Owners’ Association.

The Shoreline Plan—which takes effect January 2019—creates programs needed to ensure shoreline structures and boating activity do not harm the environment, scenery, or recreation experiences at Lake Tahoe.

The cost of these programs will be paid for through new shoreline fees that TRPA and its partners worked to fairly apportion to various shoreline users and structures. These include mooring fees, an increase in boat sticker fees, and boat rental concession fees that will also take effect leading up to the 2019 boating season.

New programs will include boater education and enforcement of the 600-foot nowake zone at Lake Tahoe, expansion of the no-wake zone to include all Emerald Bay, and no-wake zone buffers around all swimmers, paddlers, and shoreline structures to prevent unsafe boating near the shoreline where motor boats, paddlers, and swimmers interact.

Shoreline Plan: By the numbers Shoreline structures: The Shoreline Plan authorizes up to: z 128 new private piers, with 12 pier applications accepted every two years. Piers that serve multiple properties will be prioritized, with no more than 25 pier permits available for piers that serve a single property. z 10 new public piers z 2 new public boat ramps z 1,486 new moorings, including buoys and boat lifts, with no more than 15 percent of the moorings permitted in any given year. In 2019, TRPA will ensure that all existing moorings on the lake are permitted and registered and will begin processing new mooring applications by 2020. z Up to 330 of the new moorings will serve existing marinas, and up to 300 new moorings will serve public agencies with lakefront facilities.

Shoreline fees: z $43 annual mooring registration fee charged for all boat moorings. Pays for enforcement of illegal moorings, nowake zone education and enforcement, and aquatic invasive species monitoring and control. z $47 annual buoy scenic mitigation fee charged for all buoys. Pays for projects to offset the scenic impacts of buoys. z $12 increase to annual boat sticker fees for all boat inspections. Pays for aquatic invasive species monitoring and control and watercraft inspection costs. z $75 annual boat rental concession fee charged for all rental boats with a 3-star or higher rating by the California Air Resources Board and $150 annual boat rental concession fee charged for all rental boats with a lower or no CARB rating. Pays for aquatic invasive species monitoring and control and nowake zone education and enforcement.

The new Shoreline Plan expands the 600-foot no-wake zone at Lake Tahoe to include all Emerald Bay and targets better education and enforcement to help ensure a safe and enjoyable recreation experience for paddlers.

TRPA is partnering with the Lake Tahoe Water Trail and the basin-wide Take Care campaign, as well as with the League to Save Lake Tahoe, marinas, concessionaires, and law enforcement agencies to implement these new boater education and enforcement activities.

In addition to strengthening its own presence on the lake with a second watercraft team, TRPA is entering an agreement with all law enforcement agencies on the lake. The goal is to coordinate and prioritize enforcement strategies through a Watercraft Task Force that will meet regularly to focus on improving compliance with boating regulations at Lake Tahoe.

“Lake Tahoe was suffering from the lack of a shoreline plan as illegal activity caused environmental degradation and conflicts amongst recreationists on the water,” said Darcie Goodman Collins, Ph.D., chief executive officer of the League to Save Lake Tahoe.

“This new plan has stronger protections, more effective enforcement, and a vastly improved education program enhanced by technology that will make everyone’s experience on the lake better.”

Other new programs provide coordinated TRPA enforcement against illegal boat moorings on the lake with the California State Lands Commission and Nevada Division of State Lands; more monitoring and control projects to prevent the spread of harmful aquatic invasive species; enhanced TRPA monitoring for noise and scenic impacts from boating activity and shoreline structures; and new provisions to keep noisy boats with aftermarket exhaust systems that exceed TRPA, California, and Nevada sound limits from operating on the lake.

Visit trpa.org/programs/shorezone to learn more about the plan, implementation, new permitting processes, fees, and to sign up for email news about upcoming actions.

Review of the 2018 Employee Work Safe Program

by Heather Houston, Operations Manager

T

KPOA Staff has come to the close of the 2018 Work Safe Program. TKPOA Staff has been successful in achieving 365 days without recording lost time from a work accident, with the exception of the Landscaping Department with a recorded 179 days without a lost time from a work accident.

The number of medical-only workers compensation claims was reduced from five (5) for 2015 to two (2) for 2016, increased to three (3) for 2017, and decreased to zero for 2018, making 2018 TKPOA’s most successful year in preventing work place accidents since the inception of the Work Safe Program in 2015.

We are looking forward to another successful year in 2019 that will assist in continuing to reduce TKPOA’s ex-mod rate for our Workers Compensation Insurance.

In 2018 TKPOA conducted a total of two (2) Injury Illness Prevention Program (I.I.P.P.) trainings to include new employees and to achieve the required annual retraining for all employees.

The first scheduled date for I.I.P.P. training in 2019 will be held in June and will include seasonal summer staff.

Staff is also working on updates to TKPOA’s Injury Illness Prevention Program (I.I.P.P) including Boating Safety and Weed Harvesting Operations and other relevant safety topics.

In 2018 Staff did include additional Safety Tailgate Meetings for the Water Company, Water Quality, Maintenance and Landscape Departments. Staff has met with these department managers to review the Tailgate Safety meeting program and get their feedback on the effectiveness of the additional meetings held. The manager’s responses and comments helped determine the departmental needs for additional and specific department training. The Tailgate Meetings are held in addition to monthly safety meetings as required by the Work Safe Program for all departments.

In Memorium It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our friend and colleague Greg Trischler. Greg joined TKPOA’s Water Company in 1991 as an Operator and was promoted to the Water Company Supervisor position in 2003, a position he held until his retirement in August 2016. As of February 2019, Greg Trischler remains the Association’s longest tenured employee, spending 25 years of his career with TKPOA. During his time with TKPOA, Greg made significant and thoughtful contributions to the Association including the installation of Well #3 and the installation of the carbon filter at Well #2.

ACC: By the numbers

by Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager

I

would like to take this opportunity to thank the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) members Deborah Sherry, Pat Disney, Kirt Willard, Tom Spencer and Clint Schue, who served as volunteers on the ACC in 2018.

Once again the ACC has done a great job and contributed many hours making 2018 a very productive year. The ACC worked tirelessly and drafted a number of rule and policy changes for the Board of Directors to review in 2018. The ACC finalized the agreement with the City of South Lake Tahoe to allow an exception for mandatory bear boxes at vacation rentals located within the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA).

The committee also held 20 meetings, 2 workshops and reviewed and approved 317 projects.

The Architectural Control Department (ACD) staff performed exceptionally in 2018 by generating 469 first violation notices and achieving 433 compliances for a compliance percentage of 92.32 %. Staff also conducted 28 hours of boat patrols, performed 543 second inspections (including carry over from previous year), 198 third inspections and generated a total of 1,035 department mailings.

In closing, if you happen upon any of our ACC members, please thank them for contributing their time and efforts in making 2018 a successful year for all TKPOA members. All of you benefit from their time and commitment to protecting your property values.

WATERWAYS USAGE COMMITTEE’S (WUC’S)

PROPOSED BOAT STICKER PROGRAM IN

early 2018, the TKPOA Board of Directors appointed an ad hoc Waterways Usage Committee (WUC) to review the possibility of charging a fee to boaters who are non-TKPOA members.

This fee is for the use and maintenance of the TKPOA waterways. This is a cost-sharing proposal where boaters who are not TKPOA property owners help fund the rising costs of repair and maintenance of our expensive waterway infrastructure, and the costs of Tahoe Keys Water Quality (WQ) programs. This necessarily includes costs to manage boater behaviors during their use of TKPOA waterways.

A Town Hall Forum was held on May 17th, 2018, during which more than 50 additional comments were received from the TKPOA participants. This prompted the WUC to conduct an opinion survey of TKPOA membership (property owners). The survey responses were tabulated on December 4th, 2018 and presented to the TKPOA Board of Directors at the December 2018 board meeting. The Board directed the WUC to continue its work on development of the Boat Sticker Program.

The WUC met on January 8th, 2019 to review the survey responses and to formulate initial recommendations for the Board (subject of this memo). Survey responses may be viewed on the TKPOA website, www.tkpoa.com, under Documents>>Waterway Usage Committee>>Proposed Boat Sticker Program file.

Keys Breeze

Justification: There are several potential benefits to a boat sticker program: z Cost-Sharing - Helps to share costs of maintaining waterway infrastructure and water quality programs.

Non-TKPOA boaters would help fund the high costs of TKPOA waterway management, rather than just relying on ever increasing dues assessments to TKPOA Property Owners. z Accountability - Makes use of waterways by rotating tenants more accountable. One of the most persistent problems faced by TKPOA is communicating behavioral expectations to the constant turn-over of VHR and dock tenants. z Cost Reduction - Administrative and enforcement costs are likely reduced over-time. As we’ve learned with the CSLT VHR program, defined penalties coupled with certain enforcement will result in tenants/ visitors being voluntarily compliant with rules of behavior. Both property owner and tenant quickly learn that compliance is preferable to facing disciplinary hearings and fines. z Informs & Educates - Provides an avenue for direct contact to educate tenants and visitors. The sharing of rules and behavioral information is critical to managing the compliance with rules.

HOW DOES THE TKPOA BOAT STICKER PROPOSAL DIFFER FROM OTHER FEE PROGRAMS FOR BOATING USE OF LAKE TAHOE? The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is implementing its Shoreline Plan, which includes a fee to cover certain costs related to management of the main-body of Lake Tahoe (the open lake). All motorized watercraft will be required to pay this fee. Motorized watercraft moored within the Tahoe Keys would be charged $43.00 each. None of the revenue derived from the TRPA fee would be available to fund waterway programs within the TKPOA. The proposed TKPOA Boat Sticker fee would be focused upon management of TKPOA issues mentioned in the summary and justification above. Examples of use of the TKPOA fees might include: dredging; maintenance of common infrastructure like bulkheads; AIS weed removal and control costs; AIS weed control planning and permitting; water quality testing; maintenance of the laminar flow, bubbler and sea-bin installations; investigation and clean-up of fuel spills. TKPOA revenues would also be used for behavioral education and enforcement issues. Examples might include: No Wake violations; on-water noise violations; compliance with use of the Boat back-up Stations; and compliance with the Boat Sticker Program.

EXISTING TKPOA BOAT STICKER PROGRAMS At this time, current requirements for boat stickers within the Condo/Townhome docks will remain the same. Property Owners who own within a Condo/Townhome Cove must obtain an annual boat sticker (free of charge) from the TKPOA Office each year. Slips within a Condo/Townhome dock area may not be rented unless concurrent with the rental of the unit associated with the slip. A $25 fee will be charged to renters mooring within a Condo/Townhome dock area. The complete “Boat Dock Rules and Regulations for Townhouse Subdivisions and TKPOA Owned Community Docks” can be found on the TKPOA website, www.tkpoa.com.

IMPLEMENTATION The WUC has recommended a 2 year pilot program for the proposed Boat Sticker program with an annual review of cost effectiveness and enforcement. The use of revenues from the fees charged will be determined based upon the program’s annual review. An estimate of revenues is difficult to make at this time. No one has been able to produce a reliable count of the number of non-TKPOA owner boats that occupy moorages. During the 2 year pilot program period, assumptions and suppositions of the program effectiveness and costs can be “fact-checked” for reality and will allow for more reliable revenue projections.

The WUC’s goal is to have the program fully implemented by May 1st, 2019. This includes a member review and comment period, an informational Town Hall Forum for members, additional Keys Breeze articles, and time for Staff planning for rolling out the program.

OTHER REVENUE PRODUCING PROGRAMS The WUC has also recommended that the Board look into seasonal boat/trailer storage for a fee, only for TKPOA members, located on TKPOA common area. This is not a fee proposal for storing boats on private parcels, which is prohibited by CC&Rs and ACC Rules.

The Board will consider the proposed Boat Sticker Program rules for approval at the March 16th, 2019 Board of Directors meeting. If you would like to provide any feedback to the Board, please email your comments to Jo Ann Wilson Administrative Assistant at JWilson@tahoekeyspoa.org, or submit them in person at the TKPOA Pavilion Office prior to the March 16th, 2019 meeting.

NOTICE OF CHANGE IN ASOCIATION RULES

TEXT OF PROPOSED CHANGES (Deletions are shown in strikethrough type and additions in boldface underlined type)

O

n January 19th, 2019 the TKPOA Board of Directors approved the following TKPOA Boat Sticker Program Rules for a 30 day membership review period.

These rules will be considered for adoption at the April 20th, 2019 Board of Directors Meeting. If you would like to provide any feedback to the Board prior to approval, please email your comments to Jo Ann Wilson Administrative Assistant at JWilson@tahoekeyspoa.org, or submit them in person at the TKPOA Pavilion Office.

Purpose and Effect of Proposed Rule Change To enact an annual boat sticker and fee program for single-family home docks to help fund rising costs of repair and maintenance of TKPOA waterways and TKPOA Water Quality Programs.

TKPOA BOAT STICKER PROGRAM RULES Any watercraft required to be registered with a government agency that is moored at a dock within TKPOA Properties is required to obtain a current annual boat sticker from the Association office. Stickers must be displayed at all times.

The Property Owner is responsible for assuring the sticker is located in a position visible from the “channel side.” Boat covers and shrink wrap cannot obscure the sticker.

1. Definitions of categories of watercraft ownership: a. TKPOA property owners on title with watercraft registered under their name. These watercrafts are exempt, as the property owners have already paid the fees through their annual dues’ assessments. However, all “defined watercraft” must have a sticker. Stickers are free for watercraft registered in the name of a TKPOA property owner. The WUC may consider creating a transferrable pass at a later date. b. Long term dock users, non-TKPOA members using a TKPOA owners dock seasonally or year-round. c. Short term dock users, non-TKPOA members using a TKPOA owners dock for 30 days or less. d. Boats with a sticker that are owned by TKPOA property owners do not require an additional fee to visit or use docks of other property owners (with the property owners permission). There is no time-limit.

3. Program Administration: a. Fee Structure: 1. Calendar Year Sticker/Pass: $500 for nonTKPOA boat owners. Free for boats owned by and registered to TKPOA property owners.

2. Seasonal Rate (May 1st - Oct 31st): $300 3. Short Term Pass (30 days or less): $100 4. Winter Mooring (Nov 1st – Apr 30th): $200 4. Obtaining stickers: TKPOA boat stickers may be obtained in-person at the front desk, or by mail. Proof of watercraft ownership and registration must be presented during issuance.

Rentals*: Property Owners who rent their docks (seasonal boat dock rental or concurrent with rental of the property through a long term or vacation rental lease) are required to ensure their renters also obtain a boat sticker for the length of their stay. To obtain the required sticker, the renter must provide a copy of the vessel title and registration in their name, and a signed rental agreement from the Property Owner that includes the rental term and authorization for the tenant to utilize the boat slip. Long Term property rental tenants utilizing the property’s boat dock must also provide a copy of a current utility bill to show proof of residency at the

Keys Breeze

Owner’s property.

PROPOSED CHANGES

2. Boat mooring procedures: a. Moorings are limited to size and configuration of the dock b. Refer to ACC Rules. Examples: No mooring to OWPs or ramps, no rafting, must conform to all property set-back requirements, no dock additions, no ancillary jet ski docks, etc.

*For rentals within Townhome Subdivisions, please reference the Boat Dock Rules and Regulations for Townhouse Subdivisions and TKPOA Owned Community Docks, which can be found on the TKPOA website under Documents>>CC&R and Policies>>Policies and Rules in the Association Operating Rules document.

Lost or damaged stickers: Lost stickers must be replaced at full-price. Damaged stickers must be returned to TKPOA and can be replaced for $75.00 each.

5. Insurance: Property owners are responsible for the decision to insure the watercraft at their dock. Obtaining insurance is voluntary and not required by TKPOA. Property owners will be held responsible for behaviors and damages associated with use of their docks.

6. Enforcement: Boats moored at a dock within the Association without a current boat sticker will subject the Property Owner to member discipline and potential fines. Penalties will be levied to the TKPOA Property Owner for violations of the Boat Sticker Program as follows: 1. Failure to comply with Boat Sticker program First offense: Fines up to double the amount of the pass required.

2. Failure to comply - Repeat offenses: Fines up to triple the amount of the pass required.

3. Fines for failure to comply with other rules (noxious behaviors) will be levied as per the annual TKPOA fine schedule.

NoticeinofAssociation Change in Rules Association Rules Notice of Change

TEXT OF CHANGES PROPOSED CHANGES TEXT OF PROPOSED

(The entire text of the proposed Board Meeting and Board Member Conduct Rules are new additions to Association Operating Rules)

The TKPOA Board of Directors approved to adopt the following changes to Association Operating Rules at the January 19th, 2019 Regular Board of Directors Meeting. These changes were noticed for a 30 day member review period in the November 2018 issue of the Keys Breeze.

BOARD MEETING AND BOARD MEMBER CONDUCT RULES The Tahoe Keys Property Owners’ Association Board of Directors adopts the following Board meeting and Board Member Conduct rules. These rules are intended to facilitate the Board’s administration of its meetings and to set forth certain director and member protocol.

A. DIRECTOR RESPONSIBILITIES The general duties for directors are to enforce the Association’s governing documents, collect and preserve the association’s financial resources, insure the association’s assets against loss, and keep the common areas maintained and in a state of good repair.

To fulfill that responsibility, directors must use their best efforts to: -Regularly attend Board meetings.

-Review material provided in preparation for Board meetings.

-Review the Association’s financial reports.

-Make reasonable inquiry on matters on the agenda before making decisions.

B. DIRECTOR CONDUCT In general, directors must conduct all dealings with third parties, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Association, and to safeguard information that belongs to the association.

1. Private Gain, Self-dealing. This occurs when directors make decisions that materially benefit themselves, spouses, friends, relations, or anyone who shares the person’s residence, at the expense of the Association. Such benefits may include money, privileges, special benefits, overlooking delinquency or Keys Breeze Keys Breeze

| |

violations of the Governing Documents, gifts or any other item of value. Accordingly, no director shall: • Solicit or receive any compensation from the Association for serving on the Board or any committee.

• Negotiate or provide instructions to, or contract with vendors without prior Board approval.

• Identifying Association members subject to disciplinary matters • Personal and specific information about any member’s delinquent assessment account • Legal matters in which the Association is or may be involved. Directors may not discuss the merits of pending legal matters in which the Association is involved, with persons not on the Board. Failure to follow these requirements may constitute a breach of the attorney-client privilege and may result in the loss of confidentiality in the information released.

3. Accuracy of Information. Directors may not knowingly misrepresent facts. All Association data, records and reports conveyed must be accurate and truthful, in all material respects, and prepared in a proper manner.

4. Interaction with Vendors and Management.

C. BOARD MEETING CONDUCT 1. General Board Meetings are open to Association Members Only. Tenants and guests are not permitted without express approval of the Board of Directors.

Any Association Member may attend Association Board meetings unless the Board is meeting in Executive Session. Executive Session topics include: • Litigation • Matters relating to the formation of contracts with third parties • Member discipline • Personnel matters • or to meet with a member, upon the member’s request, regarding the member’s payment of assessments 2. Association Members in attendance are permitted to address the Board only at the designated Members’ open forum portion of the meeting, or unless otherwise permitted by the Chair of the Board meeting, and at no other time. The Board may establish signin procedures or other methods for identifying those members who wish to be heard. Member comments made during Members’ open forum may be noted in the minutes at the discretion of the secretary or Board; however, the official Board Meeting minutes will not contain the Member’s verbatim comments.

3. In order to allow the Board sufficient time to cover the Board meeting agenda items, members will be permitted to speak for up to three minutes, unless the Board grants a member’s request to speak for a longer period of time, or if extenuating circumstances require a longer period.

4. Pursuant to Civil Code with limited exception, the Board is not permitted to discuss or take action on any item that is not on the Board meeting agenda.

Therefore, the Board will not comment upon a member’s open forum presentation, or respond to questions raised by a member during the member’s open forum portion of the Board meeting.

5. Directors and Association Members and any other individuals attending the Board meeting shall conduct themselves in a respectful, professional manner. The following conduct will not be permitted: a. Rude or profane language or personal attacks
