Rose Garden Homeowners Association

August 6, 2018

Dear Rose Garden Homeowner:

The Rose Garden Board of Directors approved its 2018-19 fiscal budget that commences on October 1, 2018 with the monthly assessment rate increasing $4.00 to $399.00. In accordance with the requirements of California Civil Code Section 5300 (b) (4), the Board of Directors does not anticipate the need to levy a special assessment in order to cover the Association’s general operating expenses.

The budget includes, the same as last year, a one-time Special Assessment of $237.00 payable December 1, 2018 to bolster the Association’s Reserve Fund. The Special Assessment will be subject to a 10% late fee if not received by December 31, 2018. A reminder of this special assessment will be mailed to you with the balloting material in early November. There will also be a separate coupon in the payment coupon booklet that will be sent to shortly.

This base monthly assessment rate is the first increase in 4 years. This is being done as costs have both increased and decreased during this period, but the increases have slightly outweighed the decreases.

Utilities in total have decreased by $7,400 in total. We have improved electric efficiencies enough to offset rate increases and decreased total natural gas costs with solar installations combined with a beneficial commercial gas rate structure that commenced at the same time. While we have been able to reduce irrigation water usage by 25% since 2013, the water costs have increased 30% during this period resulting in a net total cost increase. This year the cable contract also resulted in a reduced cost and will have a full year’s benefit this coming fiscal year. As you will recall, last year that cable savings was then added to the monthly reserve fund contribution.

This year the Board has also added a security patrol three times every evening at a cost of $8.22 per unit, per month.

Report Date 7/10/18 Version 2 44

Reserve Summary (As required by California Civil Code Section 5565)

ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SCT Reserve Consultants, Inc. is pleased to provide this Level II Reserve Study (Site Visit Update Report). In order to comply with the California Civil Code, specifically the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, Section 5565, we are providing the following information to the Homeowners within ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.

The following study has been prepared with several assumed factors taken into account: a 3.00% inflation rate; a 1.00% return on investment (interest earned); taxes on interest earned is paid for through the operating fund; an estimated remaining life of each reserve component; and an estimated current replacement cost of each reserve component.

As of September 30, 2018, the estimated ending reserve fund balance is $363,500 and the estimated current replacement cost is $2,065,726 for the portfolio of reserve components. The projected future replacement cost of the portfolio is $2,764,411, calculated at an annually compounded inflation rate of 3.00%. The Association’s level of funding which is based upon the estimated ending reserve fund balance divided by the reserve components’ fully funded amount is 27.55%. This is referred to as Percent Funded. The Association would be 100.00% funded if there were $1,319,585.00 in the reserve fund.

The current deficiency (or surplus if the number is in parenthesis) in reserve funding expressed on a per unit basis is $6,548.53. This is calculated by subtracting the ending balance ($363,500) from the 100% funded figure ($1,319,585.00), then divided by the number of ownership interests (146). There is currently no requirement to be fully funded.

Our original analysis of the cash flow for this association indicated future inadequate funding if there were no annual increases to the Reserves. It is our understanding the Board of Directors will allocate a total of $11,534 per month starting in 2019 ($79.00 per unit per month for each of the 146 ownership interests) towards the reserve fund. To offset the future cash shortfall we recommend and have included an increase of 3.75% starting in 2020 for 29 years. The increase is scheduled to take effect in the year 2020. This report includes a special assessment of $34,602 for VARIOUS PROJECTS in 2019 for 1 year. The Board of Directors may change the amount; however, it will impact the level of funding on reserves. These numbers, by themselves, are not a clear indicator of financial strength and could indicate underfunding, overfunding, or adequate funding.

The following table represents additionally required information pursuant to the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, Section 5565.

Assessment and Reserve Funding Disclosure Summary For the Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2019

(As illustrated by California Civil Code Section 5570(a))

(1) The regular assessment per ownership interest is $395.00 per month, of which approximately $79.00 is allocated to reserves per month.

Note: If assessments vary by the size or type of ownership interest, the assessment applicable to this ownership interest may be found on the following page of the attached summary. NOT APPLICABLE

(2) Additional regular or special assessments that have already been scheduled to be imposed or charged, regardless of the purpose, if they have been approved by the board and/or members: SEE ANSWER BELOW TO QUESTION #4 WHICH SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE INCREASES IN REGULAR ASSESSMENTS FOR RESERVE FUNDING.

Date assessment will be due: Amount per ownership interest

per year: Purpose of the assessment:

Fiscal Year 2019, terms to be determined $240.00 Various Projects

Note: If assessments vary by the size or type of ownership interest, the assessment applicable to this ownership interest may be found on the following page of the attached summary. NOT APPLICABLE

(3) Based upon the most recent reserve study and other information available to the board of directors, will currently projected reserve account balances be sufficient at the end of each year to meet the association's obligation for repair and/or replacement of major components during the next 30 years?

Yes __X__ No __X__

Yes, if the Association follows the recommended future reserve contribution increases as outlined in the reserve study and disclosed in the table of question (4) with consideration to the note below*.

No, if the Association does not follow the recommended future reserve contribution increases as outlined in the reserve study and disclosed in the table of question (4) with consideration to the note below*. *Note: The information contained within the reserve study includes estimates of replacement value and life expectancies of the components and includes assumptions regarding future events based on information provided by and supplied to the Association’s Board of Directors and/or management. Some assumptions inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the data of this disclosure summary. Therefore, the actual replacement cost and remaining life may vary from the reserve study and the variation may be significant. Additionally, inflation and other economic events may impact the reserve study, particularly over a thirty (30) year period of time which could impact the accuracy of the reserve study and the funds available to meet the association’s obligation for repair and/or replacement of major components during the next thirty (30) years. Furthermore, the occurrence of vandalism, severe weather conditions, earthquakes, floods or other acts of God cannot be accounted for and are excluded when assessing life expectancy of the components. The reserve study only includes items that the Association has a clear and express responsibility to maintain, pursuant to the Association’s CC&Rs.

(4) If the answer to (3) is No, what additional assessments or other contributions to reserves would be necessary to ensure that sufficient reserve funds will be available each year during the next 30 years that have not yet been approved by the Board or the members?

Approximate date assessment(s) will be due: Amount per ownership interest per month:

3.75% starting in 2020 for 29 years (Current amount) X (the increases)

(5) All major components are included in the reserve study and are included in its calculations.

(6) Based on the method of calculation in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 5550, the estimated amount required in the reserve fund at the end of the current fiscal year is $995,898.65, as of September 30, 2019, based in whole or in part on the last reserve study or update prepared by SCT RESERVE CONSULTANTS, INC. The projected reserve fund cash balance at the end of the current fiscal year is $82,952.35, resulting in reserves being 8.33% percent funded at this date. If an alternate, but generally accepted, method of calculation is also used, the required amount is $453,938. (See explanation below).

Explanation: Cash Flow Methodology - a method of developing a reserve funding plan where contributions to the reserve fund are designed to offset the variable annual expenditures from the reserve fund. Different reserve funding plans are tested against the anticipated schedule of reserve expenses until the desired funding goal is achieved.

7) See below: 30-Year Reserve Funding Plan Table…Based on the method of calculation in paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 5550 of the Civil Code, the estimated amount required in the reserve fund at the end of each of the next five budget years is $(see “100% Funded” column below), and the projected reserve fund cash balance in each of those years, taking into account only assessments already approved and other known revenues, is $(see “Cash Flow Balance with Funding Plan” column below), leaving the reserve at (see “Percent Funded” column below) percent funding. If the reserve funding plan approved by the association is implemented, the projected reserve fund cash balance in each of those years will be $(see “Cash Flow Balance with Funding Plan” column below), leaving the reserve at (see “Percent Funded” column below) percent funding. Note: The financial representations set forth in this summary are based on the best estimates of the preparer at that time. The estimates are subject to change. At the time this summary was prepared, the assumed long-term before-tax interest rate earned on reserve funds was 1.00% per year, and the assumed long-term inflation rate to be applied to major component repair and replacement costs was 3.00% per year.

ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION SCT Reserve Consultants, Inc. Job No. 2018-013-01 L2 Page 7 of 28

Report Date 7/10/18 Version 2

Summary In accordance with our proposal, 2018-013, SCT Reserve Consultants, Inc. is pleased to provide this

Level II Reserve Study Site Visit Update Report for ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS

ASSOCIATION. Our study was performed in accordance with the Davis-Stirling Common Interest

Development Act, specifically §5550, of the California Civil Code. This report included a site inspection

on April 5, 2018. This townhome common interest development (CID) is located at 1100 South Tiffany

Circle, Palm Springs, CA 92262. We are using an inception date for the components of October 1, 1979.

This study is for October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019, the Association’s fiscal year.

In general, reserve funds are funds set aside from collected association fees paid by owners of a common

interest development. These funds earn interest and are disbursed when deemed necessary by the Board of

Directors. The purpose of a reserve study is to determine how much money should exist in a reserve fund

at a given point in time or to project required future contributions and expenditure amounts so that

sufficient reserve funds are available when needed. Our reserve study is generated using proprietary SCT

software and a combination of local industry standards and national average replacement costs.

A 30-year “Cash Flow and Percent Funded Projection” analysis and “Graph” are produced to verify and

define the relationship of the Cash Flow (annual beginning balance) with respect to the 100% funded

amount. Ideally, the Cash Flow line of the graph should run parallel to and below the “Percent Funded”

line of the graph, see funding goals.

The following study has been prepared with several assumed factors taken into account: 3.00% inflation

rate; a 1.00% return on investment (interest earned); taxes on interest earned is paid for through the

operating fund; an estimated remaining life of each reserve component; and an estimated current

replacement cost of each reserve component.

A contingency fund of 5.0% has been established to pay for incidental and miscellaneous reserve

expenditures. Otherwise, any component that has a life cycle (full life) of less than two years should be

budgeted and paid for through normal operating or property maintenance funds and is not included as part

of this study.

The current deficiency (or surplus if the number is in parenthesis) in reserve funding expressed on a

per unit basis is $6,548.53. This is calculated by subtracting the ending balance ($363,500) from the

100% funded figure ($1,319,585.00), then divided by the number of ownership interests (146). There is

currently no requirement to be fully funded.

The Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act requires the disclosure of the current reserve fund

balance divided by the current replacement cost (this is not Percent Funded). As of October 1, 2018, the

estimated reserve fund balance is $363,500 and the estimated current replacement cost is $2,065,726 of

the portfolio of reserve components. The projected future replacement cost of the portfolio is $2,764,411,

calculated at an annually compounded inflation rate of 3.00%. Currently, this factor for ROSE GARDEN

HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION is 17.60%.

Report Date 7/10/18 Version 2

Summary (continued)

The Association’s level of funding for the fiscal year (October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019)

which is based upon the final estimated reserve fund balance divided by the reserve components’ fully

funded amount is 8.33%, and is referred to as Percent Funded. The Association would be 100.00%

funded if there were $995,898.65 in the reserve fund.

Our original analysis of the cash flow for this association indicated future inadequate funding (see the

graph, the “square box and/or pink line”). This line represents the cash flow if there were no annual

increases to the Reserves. It is our understanding the Board of Directors will allocate a total of $11,534

per month starting in 2019 ($79.00 per unit per month for each of the 146 ownership interests) towards

the reserve fund. To offset the future cash shortfall we recommend and have included an increase of

3.75% starting in 2020 for 29 years. The increase is scheduled to take effect in the year 2020. This

report includes a special assessment of $34,602 for VARIOUS PROJECTS in 2019 for 1 year. The

Board of Directors may raise or lower this amount, however, it will impact the level of funding on

reserves. These numbers, by themselves, are not a clear indicator of financial strength and could indicate

underfunding, overfunding, or adequate funding.

Sincerely,

Michael C. Graves, R.S. #00039

APPROVAL OF MINUTES By motion properly made by Earl Rose and seconded by Hugh Gaspar the annual minutes of the December 10, 2016 annual meeting were approved by voice vote of those in attendance. TREASURER’S REPORT Earl Rose reviewed the unaudited financial reports for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Rose Garden had an operating fund surplus of $1,625 versus a budgeted surplus of $213. Reserve interest was $81 for the year. Last year, we had a $23,934 surplus. Administrative Expenses in total were $7,963 less than budgeted due primarily to few legal costs and lower insurance premiums. Utilities were $14,760 greater than budgeted primarily due to greater water usage and a rate increase during the fiscal year. The rate per 100 cubic feet of water is 14% higher than the prior fiscal year’s cost and our water use was up 13% versus the last fiscal year. The combination of higher rates and higher usage bumped up our costs by 21% over the prior year. Landscape Maintenance was $4,455 more than budgeted primarily due to the $17,114 expenditure for the hedge rehab and the Baristo corridor rehab. Pools and Spa Expenses were $2,370 over target as we incurred a number of repairs throughout the year. The Common Area Maintenance Expenses were $14,322 below budget. Overages were camera inspections of a number of units’ sewer lines at a cost of $3,750 as well as lighting repairs are also higher this year. Roof maintenance was $16,959 under budget for this line item which has helped offset the overages. Fall roof inspections and maintenance would have absorbed most of the roof expense benefit but this could not be scheduled before September 30th this year. Operating cash at September 30 was $104,883. Reserve funds increased to $184,329. Reserve Expenditures year-to-date amounted to $53,505, to replace the roof on one pod over the winter, new lounges for the east pool, 2 new drinking fountains and 2 tennis court windscreens. Assessments and fines receivable totaled $1,227 while prepaid assessments increased to $27,984 as a number of homeowners prepaid the November 1st special assessment. ************************************************************************************************* Kassinger has NO delinquent accounts.

By motion properly made by Kate Rice and seconded by David Carden, the financial report was approved by voice vote. IRS REVENUE RULING WHEREAS, the Rose Garden Homeowners Association, is a mutual benefit California corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California; and, WHEREAS, the Association files a form 1120H annual tax return, THEREFORE, upon motion duly made David Carden and seconded by Earl Rose and carried by voice vote, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED that in compliance with IRS Revenue Ruling 70-604, the excess income (if any) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2017 will be applied to any assessments or expenditures in the following fiscal years beginning October 1, 2017. BARISTO NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION David Carden reported that the Baristo Neighborhood Organization has a number or projects in process including a number of boutique hotels in the west end of the neighborhood and the temporary College of the Desert west campus across Baristo from the Rose Garden. David met with officials of the college and the city engineer to request lighting and crosswalks at the intersection of E Baristo and S Hermosa. The city stated that those items are not required for colleges versus grade schools. David is partitioning the city to do so anyway. A number of residents also expressed concerns about student overflow parking in the Rose Garden. EAST SIDE LAND LEASE EXTENSION David Carden reported that we have obtained signatures from 70% of the owners of one plot and 90% of those on the second plot that constitute the land lease. The BIA wants us to make one more try to obtain those remaining owners’ approval. Then the BIA will most likely then sign off on the extension on behalf of those uncommitted owners. David is hopeful the lease extension will be finalized in 2018. OPEN FORUM

Recording thisnotice creates a lien, which is subject to foreclosure, against the delinquent Owner's property.

b. At the same time, the Association shall advise the Association's collectionagent/bank that it should accept no further monies from this delinquent Owner untilthe assessment lien has been paid in full. Owners shall not send any assessment paymentsto the Association once the matter has been turned over to the Attorney for collection; suchpayments shall only be accepted by the law firm. Any payments delivered to the collection agentshall be forwarded to the attorney's office; the attorney shall then release the lien if payment in fullwas made by the delinquent Owner. A charge of up to $425.00 for attorneys' fees shall be chargedto the Owner at this stage (pursuant to Civil Code § 1366.3(a) 5650(a)).

11. PRE-FORECLOSURE ACTIONS:

a. No earlier than thirty (30) days after the Notice of Assessment lien has beenrecorded, the Association shall make a written pre-foreclosure offer to meet and confer with thedelinquent Owner, consistent with the process identified in paragraph 8 herein (except that thetimeline for the delinquent Owner to accept a meet and confer would be thirty (30) days from thedate of the Owner’s receipt of this pre-foreclosure offer) or alternative dispute resolution consistentwith Civil Code §1369.50 5925, et. seq. (“IDR/ADR Offer”). Owner shall have thirty (30) days fromthe date of the IDR/ADR Offer to decide whether or not Owner wishes to pursue dispute resolutionor a particular type of alternative dispute resolution (except that binding arbitration is not availableto any delinquent Owner if the Association intends to initiate a judicial foreclosure).

ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

"NOTICE ASSESSMENTS AND FORECLOSURE

This notice outlines some of the rights and responsibilities of owners of property in common interest developments and the associations that manage them. Please refer to the sections of the Civil Code indicated for further information. A portion of the information in this notice applies only to liens recorded on or after January 1, 2003. You may wish to consult a lawyer if you dispute an assessment.

ASSESSMENTS AND FORECLOSURE

Assessments become delinquent 15 days after they are due. The failure to pay association assessments may result in the loss of an owner's property through foreclosure. Foreclosure may occur either as a result of a court action, known as judicial foreclosure or without court action, often referred to as nonjudicial foreclosure. For liens recorded on and after January 1, 2006, an association may not use judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure to enforce that lien if the amount of the delinquent assessments or dues, exclusive of any accelerated assessments, late charges, fees, attorney's fees, interest, and costs of collection, is less than one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800). For delinquent assessments or dues in excess of one thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,800) or more than 12 months delinquent, an association may use judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1367.4 of the Civil Code. When using judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, the association records a lien on the owner's property. The owner's property may be sold to satisfy the lien if the amounts secured by the lien are not paid. (Sections 1366, 1367.1, and 1367.4 of the Civil Code)

In a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure, the association may recover assessments, reasonable costs of collection, reasonable attorney's fees, late charges, and interest. The association may not use nonjudicial foreclosure to collect fines or penalties, except for costs to repair common areas damaged by a member or a member's guests, if the governing documents provide for this. (Sections 1366 and 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

The association must comply with the requirements of Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code when collecting delinquent assessments. If the association fails to follow these requirements, it may not record a lien on the owner's property until it has satisfied those requirements. Any additional costs that result from satisfying the requirements are the responsibility of the association. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

At least 30 days prior to recording a lien on an owner's separate interest, the association must provide the owner of record with certain documents by certified mail, including a description of its collection and lien enforcement procedures and the method of calculating the amount. It must also provide an itemized statement of the charges owed by the owner. An owner has a right to review the association's records to verify the debt. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

Page 24: Rose Garden Homeowners Associationpsrosegarden.com/psrosegarden.com/News/Entries/2018/8/15... · 2020. 2. 20. · Rose Garden Homeowners Association Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget 9

2

If a lien is recorded against an owner's property in error, the person who recorded the lien is required to record a lien release within 21 days, and to provide an owner certain documents in this regard. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

The collection practices of the association may be governed by state and federal laws regarding fair debt collection. Penalties can be imposed for debt collection practices that violate these laws.

PAYMENTS

When an owner makes a payment, he or she may request a receipt, and the association is required to provide it. On the receipt, the association must indicate the date of payment and the person who received it. The association must inform owners of a mailing address for overnight payments. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

An owner may, but is not obligated to, pay under protest any disputed charge or sum levied by the association, including, but not limited to, an assessment, fine, penalty, late fee, collection cost, or monetary penalty imposed as a disciplinary measure, and by so doing, specifically reserve the right to contest the disputed charge or sum in court or otherwise.

An owner may dispute an assessment debt by submitting a written request for dispute resolution to the association as set forth in Article 5 (commencing with Section 1368.810) of Chapter 4 of Title 6 of Division 2 of the Civil Code. In addition, an association may not initiate a foreclosure without participating in alternative dispute resolution with a neutral third party as set forth in Article 2 (commencing with Section 1369.510) of Chapter 7 of Title 6 of Division 2 of the Civil Code, if so requested by the owner. Binding arbitration shall not be available if the association intends to initiate a judicial foreclosure.

An owner is not liable for charges, interest, and costs of collection, if it is established that the assessment was paid properly on time. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

MEETINGS AND PAYMENT PLANS

An owner of a separate interest that is not a timeshare may request the association to consider a payment plan to satisfy a delinquent assessment. The association must inform owners of the standards for payment plans, if any exist. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)

The board of directors must meet with an owner who makes a proper written request for a meeting to discuss a payment plan when the owner has received a notice of a delinquent assessment. These payment plans must conform with the payment plan standards of the association, if they exist. (Section 1367.1 of the Civil Code)"

(c) A member of an association may provide written notice by facsimile transmission or United States mail to the association of a secondary address. If a secondary address is provided, the association shall send any and all correspondence and legal notices required pursuant to this article to both the primary and the secondary address.

• A Warning Notice is completed by the Association Manager or his/her designated

representative and forwarded to the violating homeowner (hereinafter Violator). At the discretion of the Board

or Association Manager, this step may be skipped if, based on the seriousness of the violation, more

immediate action is warranted; or

• If the violation persists after the Warning Notice has been issued OR if the Board or

Association Manager determines to proceed directly to a Violation Notice, said Violation Notice is sent to

the Violator, stating a deadline by which to cure the violation; or

• If the violation warrants immediate action, an Expedited Hearing Notice is sent

to the Violator, stating a date, time and place where the Violator may be heard before the Board of Directors.

B. Remedies of the Board of Directors. If it is determined a violation has taken

place, the Board of Directors may take any or all the following actions:

1. Enforcement Assessment — Even if the violation is not of a continuing nature and

does not lend itself to a self-help remedy, the Board of Directors still has the authority to impose an

Enforcement Assessment for failure to comply with the provisions of the Governing Documents. The Board

of Directors may only impose an Enforcement Assessment after providing notice and hearing to a Violator,

pursuant to the minimum requirements set forth herein. The following Enforcement Assessment structure is

based upon a reasonable determination of the costs (i.e. attorneys' fees, property management fees, etc.)

expended by the Association in performing its functions in enforcing the Governing Documents, as well as

the imposition of appropriate sanctions for violation of said Governing Documents.

The Enforcement Assessment structure is detailed in Paragraph 4.D below.

2. Right and Authority to suspend Membership Privileges for each violation of the

Governing Documents and/or for any period during which the Member is delinquent in the payment of any

assessment, fine or monetary penalty, or as otherwise provided in the Governing Documents.

3. Self-Help Remedy for Continuing Non-Architectural Violations — If the

violation of the Governing Documents continues and can be cured through a self-help remedy, the Board has

the right to demand correction of the continuing violation and a date certain upon which a homeowner must

comply (a reasonable period of time shall be given to the homeowner) via the Notice of Ruling. The Notice

should further indicate that if the homeowner fails to comply within the time provided by the Association, the

Association would bring the homeowner into compliance and charge the cost of same to the homeowner as

an Enforcement Assessment.

4. Self-Help Remedy for Continuing Architectural Violations — If it is determined

a violation has taken place, the Board of Directors shall make findings of fact and request corrective action

(removal, replacement, repair and/or modification) by the Violator. If corrective action is not taken by the

Member and the violation can be cured through a self-help remedy, the Ruling Notice shall further indicate

that if the Member fails to comply within the time provided, the Board of Directors shall bring the Member

into compliance and charge the cost of same to the Member as an Enforcement Assessment. However, any

demand letter which requires the Association to go onto a Members' property to rectify the

violation should be reviewed and sent by Association's counsel. For example, if a homeowner's Unit

is becoming an eyesore for lack of maintenance, the Association can provide written notice to the violating

homeowner that he/she must provide the appropriate maintenance and that he/she is in violation of the

Governing Documents. The Notice would further provide that the owner has a specific (and reasonable)

period of time to correct the deficiency. If the owner fails to correct said deficiency within the specified time

given by the Association, the Association could then proceed with the maintenance and charge the cost to

the homeowner as an Enforcement Assessment.

5. Other Potential Remedies / Sanctions — Notwithstanding anything set forth

herein, the Board of Directors in its discretion shall have the power to require any other applicable remedy

and/or sanction for as long as it deems necessary, provided, however, that said remedy / sanction is in accord

with the Association's Governing Documents and law. If the violation is of such a serious nature that potential

legal action is contemplated, the Association's general counsel should be consulted for determination whether

Internal Dispute Resolution (“IDR”) and/or Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") should be offered to the

Violator (as well as consideration of other potential remedies).

C. Ruling Notice. Regardless what remedy the Board chooses to take, even if no violation

is found, the Association must mail to the Violator a Ruling Notice within fifteen (15) days after the date

of hearing. If it is ruled that an Enforcement Assessment shall be imposed against the Violator, then the

Board must give notice of the ruling to the Violator and request payment of such assessment within thirty

ROSE GARDEN HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

SUMMARY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION LEGISLATION ENUMERATED UNDER CIVIL CODE §1354

Pursuant to Civil Code §1354, this letter will notify you of a law which requires owners within the subdivisions, as well as the Association, to participate in some form of Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") prior to initiating litigation to enforce the Association's governing documents. Subject to exceptions specified within Civil Code §1354, an Association and its owner members must offer to submit their dispute to a form of ADR, such as arbitration or mediation, before filing a civil action to enforce the governing documents.

If the form of ADR chosen is arbitration, it may be either binding or non-binding at the option of the parties. The ADR legislation also provides that the failure of either the Association or any owner to offer ADR prior to initiating litigation is a potential basis for having your lawsuit dismissed. Additionally, the ADR litigation further provides that any party's refusal to participate in ADR prior to the filing of a lawsuit may be considered by the court in its determination of the amount of attorney's fees awarded to the prevailing party.

Finally, this statute specifically requires that the Association send a summary of this legislation, which specifically includes the following provision of Civil Code §1354.

Failure by any member of the association to comply with the pre-filing requirement of Section §1354 of the Civil Code may result in the loss of your rights to sue the Association or another member of the Association regarding enforcement of the governing documents.

If you have a dispute with a member or with the Association regarding the enforcement of the governing documents, we strongly suggest that you review the provisions of Civil Code §1354 and consult with an attorney to ascertain your rights and remedies.

SUMMARY – REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS THE BASIC RULE Rose Garden Condominium owners should not start any addition or modification to their unit or adjacent land without first contacting the Architectural or Landscaping Committees to determine whether or not approval by the Association is required. While this document is intended to keep owners informed of the rules regarding owner-initiated projects, these rules may occasionally be amended. Owners should use the most current version of these rules for reference. PROJECTS REQUIRING APPROVAL Some typical exterior modifications requiring approval include, but are not limited to, the following: • Any interior or exterior project impacting Common Area elements of plumbing, electrical systems, etc. and any project that pierces exterior walls or modifies any load-bearing walls • Exterior light fixtures • Patio and courtyard walls • Rain gutter installation • Skylights and solar tubes (replacement and/or new installations) • Windows and exterior window treatments • Patio extensions PROJECTS EXEMPT FROM APPROVAL • Interior decorating or minor repairs • Landscaping within patios or courtyards consistent with the Landscaping Rules APPLICATION AND APPROVAL Upon request the owner/applicant shall be issued an application form specifying the information and assurances, including insurance and liability waiver if required, necessary to obtain approval. The owner/applicant shall be offered the opportunity to consult with Board, Committee or Management members for assistance in completing the application form. Within 30 days of the submission of a properly completed application the Architecture or Landscape Committee shall meet, review the application in accordance with these Rules and Criteria and adopt a recommendation in favor or opposed to the proposal. The Committee may extend the deadline for an additional 30 days if required in order to consult with the owner/applicant to amend the application. The recommendation, including relevant facts and findings, shall be forwarded immediately in writing to the Board of Directors. If the Architectural or Landscape Committee fails to respond to the application within 60 days the owner/applicant may submit the application directly to the Board of Directors. Upon receipt of the application the Board of Directors shall schedule a review of the application at an open meeting, notify the owner/applicant of the date of review and, after review, approve or disapprove of the application within 60 days of the date of receipt. Final approval of an application may be conditioned on the successful completion of a final inspection. Failure of the owner/applicant to bring the project into compliance with the application or other violation of these Rules may result in an abatement proceeding under the Enforcement Procedure. When an Application is approved, work on the project must begin immediately and be completed within a reasonable time which may be specified by the Board.
