1. INTRODUCTION
We welcome you to The Village Condominium Owners Association and hope you will enjoy living here.
A. Why We Have Rules and Regulations
Why do we have Rules and Regulations? The Village Condominium Owners Association is a planned
community of many families living closely together. Your decision to live in such a condominium
development, with its many advantages, signified a willingness to forego the relatively complete freedom
of action possible in a single-family dwelling. That willingness implied an obligation to respect your
neighbor's rights, to modify your habits and actions to preclude encroachment and irritation, and to be
tolerant of your neighbors' minor shortcomings - in other words, to be cooperative, courteous, and
considerate (which usually will be reciprocated).
Acceptance of these obligations by all members of the community will lead to something we all desire -
a pleasant and harmonious community! To ensure a uniform interpretation of this need for cooperation,
courtesy, and consideration, certain standards of action have to be published in an official fashion. The
intent is that the community governed by these standards will ensure the realization of the basic objective
of optimum good and satisfaction for each Homeowner.
B. Governing Documents
There are four governing documents the Village Condominium Owners Association (hereafter to be
identified as The Village C.O.A..) follows. They are the CC&Rs, Articles of Incorporation, Corporation
By-Laws, and the Rules & Regulations.
These Rules and Regulations are authorized by and derived from the Declaration of Covenants,
Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) originally recorded on June 8, 1973, and subject to any subsequent
amendments. They were originally prepared by the Rules Committee and approved by the Board of
Directors. The rules are directly and legally binding on each Homeowner and are hereby imposed to aid
members of the community, both Owner and Tenant. Since the CC&Rs were adopted at the beginning of
our Association in 197.3, they have only been amended a few times. CC&R amendments require
approval by 51 percent of the Owners. Many of the Association regulations are covered in the CC&Rs
directly..
The Rules and Regulations cover additional regulations as determined by the Board of Directors. Rules
and Regulations can be modified by a vote of the Board. The Rules and Regulations are updated more
frequently and cover additional regulations necessary to properly manage our Association. This 2007
Rules and Regulations update covers many new rules added over the last few years and improves upon
the format and organization of the Rules and Regulations document.

C.O.A. including the billing of assessment fees.
