PUAMANA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OFFICIAL RULES

The Puamana Community Association (PCA) has formulated these rules ".so as to provide the enjoyment of the Common Properties by every Member in a manner consistent with the preservation of quiet enjoyment of the Lot and Living Unit by every Owner." These words are from the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Article IV, Section 3(f), dated May 1968.

According to the Bylaws, Article XII, Section 5, dated April 2002, "The Board of Directors shall from time to time adopt and publish a Schedule of Maximum Fines for Rule and Regulation Violations which shall prescribe the maximum fine that may be imposed for the violation of any Rule or Regulation." For serious violations (e.g. violations posing a risk to health or safety) no notice will be necessary prior to the imposition of fines. The Board of Directors has empowered the General Manager, and it is his duty, to enforce all rules. He may at his discretion designate members of his staff to assist him in the enforcement of certain rules, including contract security personnel hired for this purpose. The General Manager may call upon local enforcement agencies for assistance whenever someone within the physical limits of PCA properties is disturbing others, misusing facilities or common areas, or violating rules of the Association.

The basic rules for any dwelling can be simply stated as common sense practice in the consideration of others in order to create a friendly, pleasant atmosphere. The PCA appeals to all owners and their guests to demonstrate reasonable tolerance because of the close proximity in which we live.

The PCA rules state the responsibilities of everyone on the premises. The rules take into consideration the desires of the owners and their guests, and are subject to revision from time-to-time by the PCA Board of Directors, the final arbiters of any disputes or misunderstandings arising from these rules. The rules apply to all owners, occupants, guests, employees and other persons using the property. Each owner is responsible to see that all occupants of his/her living unit, guests, employees and other persons using the property are made aware of these rules.

1. Procedures for Problems and Complaints
   Except for emergencies, all complaints should be in writing, signed and addressed to the General Manager. Suggestions are also welcomed and should also be addressed to the General Manager.
   
   
2. Emergency Telephone Numbers
   In case of bodily injury, theft or fire, the emergency number 911 should be dialed and the problem stated to the emergency operator. After the 911 call, the PCA Office should be notified at 661-3423 or 667-5383.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Registration
   For the purposes of this document, a Puamana occupant is defined as a homeowner, or a tenant whether long term or short term, or overnight guests of either homeowner or tenant, whether family or friend. All Puamana occupants must register their vehicle or if not driving a vehicle, then occupant should notify the PCA office of their arrival on the next business day. Following registration, occupants are considered to have established "property privileges," rights to use the facilities such as the pools, tennis courts, and Clubhouse. Puamana guests are daytime visitors staying elsewhere. Daytime visitors must be accompanied by a Puamana occupant when using Puamana facilities and occupants are responsible for their guest's adherence to the rules. Any person found on Puamana who is not a Unit occupant or not accompanied by an occupant may be asked to leave the property by management or staff.
   
   
2. U.S. Mail
   Mail is distributed once a day in the late afternoon by the U.S. Postal Service. Postal mail boxes are located in the laundry area on the north side of the Clubhouse. Currently, oversized packages will be held in the PCA office and can be picked up during office hours. Urgent packages (perishable goods, prescription drugs, overnight express, etc.) may be made available outside of office hours by contacting the general manager via the property attendant.

Garbage should be wrapped securely, preferably in plastic bags, before placing it in the garbage cans. Lids to garbage cans should be replaced. Recycling containers are located adjacent to each trash corral. Currently it is possible to separate out newspapers, aluminum, and plastic. Articles deposited for recycling should be properly bundled and free of food residue.
   
   
5. Swim with Caution
   There are no lifeguards at any of Puamana's three (3) pools, nor along the Puamana beach. Each pool is equipped with a life ring, but caution is advised when using the deeper ends of the pools, especially for non-competent swimmers.
