When the manager observes a violation, the manager is to immediately give the owner a verbal
explanation of the CC&R and point out the violation. They are given 3 days to comply. The manager will maintain a documentation of the violation in an electronic file.

Upon conclusion of the investigation into the alleged violation, the manager will share his/her finding with the complainant.

The letter will be cc to the CC&R/bylaws committee and the manager will document the violation in an electronic file. The letter will state the area of the CC&R or bylaw that is being violated and provide notice that if there isn't compliance within 10 days (including mailing time) they are:

A copy of that letter will be forwarded to the CC&R/bylaw committee and the CC&R committee will schedule a hearing within 7 days. The finding of the CC&R/bylaw committee will be final.
If there is not compliance within those 10 days, the fine will retroactively apply to the date the verbal notice was given to the owner (violator). The schedule of fines is as follows:
- $50 for the 1st week
- $100 for the second week
- $250 for every week beyond the first 2.

If a temporary permit is given, the manager will provide notice to those that may be affected of such permission.
The CC&R's have been adopted to assure the enjoyment of all Mission Bay HOA members. The intent of the rules contained within the CC&R's as determined by the CC&R/Rules committee will apply.
