OBJECTIVE

  1. The Gleneagle Civic Association is a non-profit corporation organized to join the collective resources of property owners in representing them in matters relating to their needs, views, and activities in civic and community affairs. Further, the Association is to preserve and perpetuate the neighborhood and its surroundings, and - as Declarant - act as administrator of the covenants pertaining to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, Easements and Charges affecting portions of real property located in the Gleneagle Subdivision.
  2. Terms that are defined in the Amended and Restated Declaration shall have the same meanings herein unless otherwise defined.
  3. All present or future owners, tenants, future tenants or any other person that might use in any manner the property described in the Amended and Restated Declaration are subject to the regulations set forth in these Bylaws. The mere acquisition or rental of any of the Lots or the mere act of occupancy of any of said Lots will signify that these Bylaws are accepted, ratified and will be complied with.

ARTICLE II

MEMBERSHIP, VOTING, MAJORITY OF OWNERS, QUORUM & PROXIES

  1. Membership. Membership in the Association shall be as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Association and the Amended and Restated Declaration. Such membership shall terminate without any formal Association action whenever such person ceases to be the Owner of a Lot, but such termination shall not relieve or release any such former Owner from any liability or obligation incurred under or in any way connected with this Association during the period of such ownership and membership in the Association, or impair any rights or remedies which the Lot Owners have, either through the Board of Directors of the Association or directly, against such former owner and Member arising out of or in any way connected with ownership and membership and the covenants and obligations incident thereto.
  2. Voting. Each membership shall have the vote(s) appurtenant thereto as described in the Amended and Restated Declaration. When more than one person holds the membership, they shall appoint one of their comembers as proxy to cast the vote for that membership. Such vote shall be cast as the Owners thereof agree, but in no event shall more than one vote per question be cast with respect to any one membership. If the comembers cannot agree as to the manner in which their vote should be cast when called upon to vote, then they will be treated as having abstained.
  3. Quorum & Proxies. Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws and in the Amended and Restated Declaration, the presence in person or by proxy of Members holding twenty percent (20%) of the Votes entitled to be cast shall constitute a quorum. Unless otherwise specifically provided by the Amended and Restated Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation of the Association, or these Bylaws, all matters coming before a meeting of members at which a proper quorum is in attendance, in person and/or by proxy, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of the votes validly cast at such meeting. Regarding matters presented to the Members individually and in writing in the form of a ballot, such properly completed and validated ballots shall be counted towards achievement of a quorum and the subsequent decision regarding each matter addressed in the ballot.

Title: The Collection of Annual Dues and Collection of Unpaid Annual Dues
Authority:
The mandatory assessment of annual dues for members of the Gleneagle Civic Association (GCA) were directed by authority of amendment to the Declaration dated 13 October 2001.
Policy:
It is the policy of the Gleneagle Civic Association (GCA) to collect the annual dues in a timely fashion and to actively pursue the collection of unpaid annual dues that are in arrears by three or more years.
Procedure:
  1. The GCA Treasurer shall be responsible for the execution of all actions outlined in this policy.
  2. The GCA under the direction of the Treasurer will distribute via email or postal service a bill outlining the current year’s dues assessment on or before February 1 of the current assessment year.
  3. The current year’s assessment of mandatory dues shall be due not later than May 1 of the current year.
  4. Unpaid dues after May 1 of the assessment year shall be considered past due and delinquent. A request for payment will be mailed with payment due in 30 days.
  5. Unpaid dues that are past due and delinquent shall be subject to a late fee of an additional $15.00 per year.
  6. On August 1 of the current year the Treasurer will issue a statement reflecting the past due and delinquent amount. The collections letter will be issued via email of record or through the postal service to the member reflecting the status of the account including late fees of $15.00 per year until the account is settled. The full amount of payment is due within 30 days.
  7. Every 180 days thereafter the Treasurer shall issue a bill to the member summarizing the account plus any assessed late fees. The request shall include the HOA’s right to attach a lien on the affected property. The notice shall request payment in full within 30 days of the notice date.
  8. Accounts for members who do not respond within 30 days to the “Request for Payment” will be referred to the governing Board for authority to pursue an Assessment Lien on the affected property for the delinquent amount. Once approved by the Board the appropriate paperwork will be filed through the appropriate El Paso County office.
  9. The Assessment Lien shall be in the amount of the unpaid dues, late fees and will include an administrative fee of $75.00. The amount of the lien shall be updated every two years until the unpaid dues, late fees and other associated fees have been paid in full.

Failure by the affected member to fulfill the agreed to payment plan shall cause the agreement to be breached and the Assessment Lien filing shall be completed.
  13. The Assessment Lien shall remain on the property until all financial obligations documented on the lien have been satisfied. Once all such financial obligations have been satisfied, the lien shall be removed within 30 days.
  14. For cases that are not resolved through the sequential measures outlined in this policy and procedure, the GCA may consider additional measures such as collection action, litigation or any other suitable measures.

GCA Alternate Dispute Resolution Policy and Procedure
Enacted August 1, 2012
The following Policy and Procedure has been adopted by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Gleneagle Civic Association ("Association") pursuant to Colorado statutes, for encouragement of alternative dispute resolution practices.
Alternative Dispute Resolution. Finding that the cost and delay of litigation is often an inefficient means of resolving disputes between Owners and the Association, the Association wishes to encourage negotiation, facilitation and mediation as alternatives to litigation in situations where an Owner(s) may bring an action against the Association and the Association may bring an action against an Owner(s) (the “Party” or “Parties” when hereinafter referring to the Association or Owner(s), or both collectively). Neither party waives any right to pursue whatever legal or other remedial actions available to either party.
The Association hereby adopts the following alternative dispute resolution policy and procedure:
  1. Definitions
    1. Negotiation: Bargaining between parties who have a perceived or actual conflict of interest. The participants voluntarily meet to educate each other about their needs and interests, to exchange specific resources, or to resolve one or more intangible issues. It is more intentional and structured process than the informal discussions often used to solve problems.
    2. Facilitation: Use of a trained, acceptable, neutral third party to assist parties in constructively discussing issues of mutual concern. This is especially useful where larger numbers of people are involved. The facilitator helps the parties in managing conflict, and records significant elements of the discussion. If the parties are actually in a dispute, the facilitator may help them to clarify points of disagreement.
    3. Mediation: An extension and elaboration of the negotiation and facilitation processes, involving the intervention of a trained, acceptable, neutral third party (with no decisionmaking power) to assist contending parties in voluntarily reaching their own mutually agreed-upon settlement of issues in dispute.
    4. Arbitration: A process in which people in conflict use an impartial and neutral outside party to make a decision for them regarding contested issues. Parties must present evidence, and the arbitrator’s decision may be advisory or binding. Arbitration of a dispute may be required by contract or by an agency in authority, such as the courts, and such arbitration would usually be binding.
  2. Negotiation. Except as provided in Section 6, any party may initiate a request for negotiation, stating in writing the nature and details of the disagreement. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of such request, unless otherwise extended by written agreement, a meeting shall be held between the parties to negotiate a resolution in good faith. The parties will communicate directly with one another in a good faith effort to reach an agreement that serves the interests of all parties. Should the dispute pertain to property issues, each party will be granted the right to inspect the alleged defects or problems at a time convenient to all involved.
  3. Facilitation. Except as provided in Section 6, for disputes not resolved by negotiation that involve multiple parties or groups seeking the support of an acceptable, neutral third party to assist them in discussing issues of mutual concern, any party may request in writing that a facilitator be engaged to help in managing conflict, clarifying the issues in dispute, and recording elements of the discussion and in stating the nature and details of the dispute. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of such request, unless otherwise extended by written agreement, the parties will mutually select a facilitator and conduct a facilitated meeting. The parties agree to participate in good faith to resolve their disagreement. Any cost of facilitation will be shared equally among the parties unless they agree otherwise.
  4. Mediation. Except as provided in Section 6, for disputes not resolved by negotiation or facilitation, any party may request in writing that the issue be submitted to mediation, and the parties agree to mediate the dispute prior to seeking other remedies. If agreed to mediate, the parties further agree to participate in good faith. The role of the mediator is to encourage further negotiation between the parties and to assist them in conducting such negotiations. The mediator will not have the power to decide how to resolve the dispute but will use recognized, accepted mediation techniques to assist the parties in making that decision themselves. The mediator shall be selected by a consensus of the parties involved within twenty (20) business days of the receipt of the request, unless otherwise extended by written agreement, and the mediator will help the parties in establishing the date for the mediation meeting. Any cost of mediation will be shared equally among the parties unless they and the mediator agree otherwise.
  5. Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 6, if the dispute is not resolved by mediation, the parties may submit the matter to binding arbitration. The power to decide the outcome of the dispute will be assigned to the arbitrator, and the parties agree to accept the decision of the arbitrator as final and binding upon them. Judgment may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. In making this agreement, the parties waive all rights to appeal the decision of the arbitrator to a court of law and waive their rights to file a lawsuit and to have a jury resolve any dispute between them. Colorado law as well as the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure and evidence shall apply to the arbitration proceeding. The parties shall mutually agree on an arbitrator. Any cost of arbitration will be shared equally among the parties unless they and the arbitrator agree otherwise. The arbitrator shall have the authority to require one party to pay all or a portion of the other party’s legal fees.
  6. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the Association shall have no duty to engage in alternative dispute resolution for the following actions, conditions or circumstances:
    1. Any suit by the Association for recovery of one or more installments of unpaid assessments and other amounts due to the Association;
    2. Any suit by the Association to obtain a temporary restraining order, injunction or such other ancillary relief as the court may deem necessary to preserve the Association’s ability to act under and enforce the provisions of the Governing Documents;
    3. Any suit exclusively between Owners, in which the Association is not a Party; or in any suit between Owners in which the Association has been named as a defendant; or in any suit between Owners in which the Association has chosen to intervene;
    4. Any suit in which the statute of limitations will expire within less than six (6) months. However, although not obligated, the Association may agree to engage in alternative dispute resolution that is conducted simultaneously to litigation;
    5. In the case of a suit brought against multiple Owners, upon expiration of the thirty (30) day noticing period, the Association may pursue litigation against any Owner(s) not requesting alternative dispute resolution; or
    6. Under the circumstance where litigation is ongoing the Association shall not be required to engage in alternative dispute resolution procedures for new claims that may arise in conjunction with the litigation.

Regarding Certain Administrative Matters

Gleneagle Civic Association

Policy Memorandum #2006-1
February 9, 2006

To comply with section 38-33.3-209.5 of Colorado Senate Bill 05-100 concerning responsible governance policies, the following policies are adopted for the treatment of certain administrative matters. Items in this section of Senate Bill 100 not addressed below are covered in policy documents enacted previously.

Maintenance of Accounting Records

The Treasurer of the GCA Board of Directors shall keep records of all income and expenses of the Association on a yearly basis in both written and electronic form. He/she shall have these records reviewed annually by a qualified outside financial analyst or accountant.

Executive Board Conflicts of Interest

Members of the GCA Board of Directors shall follow section 38-33.3-310.5 of SB100 with regard to conflicts of interest. Each member shall declare his/her conflict in an open meeting and refrain from voting on the subject issue. The member shall be permitted to participate in the discussion of the issue, however.

Conduct of Meetings

Meetings of the GCA Board of Directors and meetings of the membership shall be led by the president or his/her designee, customarily the vice president. Customary parliamentary procedures will be followed, but with an emphasis on informal discussion and consensus building prior to the introduction and discussion of formal motions. Except for revision of the Bylaws, matters before the Board shall be decided by a majority vote of the quorum of Board members present, including approving motions, tabling motions, and adjourning the meeting.

Inspection and Copying of Records

In accordance with section 38-33.3-317 of SB100, the GCA shall make its records available for inspection and copying upon written request to the any Board member of the Association. Depending on the nature of the request, the records may be accessed at the home of the officer having custody of them or at the offices of the Association's attorney, to be determined by the officer concerned. Alternatively, the officer and the requestor may agree on another location suitable to both, such as a public library. All costs associated with the request shall be borne by the requestor.

Investment of Reserve Funds

Reserve funds of the Association shall be invested in accordance with a recommendation from the Treasurer and approval by the Board of Directors. In making his/her recommendation, the Treasurer shall be guided by the importance of protecting the Association's funds while achieving a reasonable rate of return. Interest-bearing accounts, money market funds, certificates of deposit, and U.S. treasury bonds are likely investment vehicles, while stocks and mutual funds are not.
