GOVERNING DOCS COMMITTEE

Each month we will let you know what the committee has been doing and answer questions concerning our governing
documents.
One of the Committee’s charter tasks is to improve the searchability of our governing documents. We are working to have
all of our governing documents appear in Governing Documents in the Doc & Forms area of the Club website. We are
working to make sure that each of our governing documents is easily searchable. We will be working to improve the
searchability of each document by developing hyperlinks in the table of contents that will take you directly to that section of the document. This
will lead to faster searches with less scrolling.

In February, we sent a survey monkey questionnaire to the HOA members. We wish to thank all of the members that responded. We have posted
the results on the HOA website in the Docs& Forms/Committees/Governing Docs Committee. Briefly the results of the survey are:
1. Preference for receiving information on the HOA governing documents.
The responses were: 56% E-Mail; 30% USPS Mail, 6% pickup at The Retreat
2. How do you currently search for answers to homeowner’s questions?
The responses were: 41% searching the HOA website; 27% in-Person visit to The Retreat; 15% via E-Mail 14% No preference (Default is
HOA Member Website)
3. Preferred method to search for Homeowner Question on the HOA website?
The responses were: 46% HOA Member website search; 20% In-Person at The Retreat; 23% by E-Mail; 10% No preference (Default is HOA
Member Website)
4. Would you like to see a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section in the Courier dedicated to our Bylaws, CC&Rs, PRGs?
The responses were: 87% Yes; 3% No and 10% Don’t care.
It appears the many of the respondents are comfortable with searching our HOA website or using email to get answers to their questions

FAQ Corner ~ A common concern is trash cans. This is addressed in our CC&Rs and the PRGs.
CC&R Section 4.7 Containers and Collections. No garbage or trash shall be placed or kept on any Lot so as to be visible from neighboring
property, unless the containers are being made available for collection and then only for the day of collection. Further regulations on trash
containers may be found in the Rules as they may be amended from time to time.
PRGs Section 6.3 Trash Containers. As stated in the CC&Rs Section 4.7, no garbage or trash shall be placed or kept on any Lot so as to be visible
from neighboring property, unless the containers are being made available for collection. Trash can/recycle containers (placed out on the street
after 4pm and left out no more than 12 hours after scheduled trash pickup time).
Please submit your questions to The Governing Documents Ad Hoc Committee via TomStevens@tcwp.net.
