What Apple Glen West Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Apple Glen West Homeowners Association, Inc. is a standard single-family HOA in Grand Junction, Colorado. These excerpts are from the Association's governing documents — including its Bylaws and several Board-adopted policies — that spell out how the HOA is run and how rules are enforced. This is not the full set of rules; the actual use restrictions (e.g., on parking, fences, paint colors) would be in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, which is not included here.

• Governance structure: The Association is run by a three-person Board of Directors elected by members (homeowners) for one-year terms. A 40% quorum of member votes is required for meetings. Directors serve without pay but can be reimbursed for expenses.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner must pay annual and special assessments. Unpaid assessments become delinquent after 30 days, accrue interest at 12% per year, and can lead to a lien foreclosure or personal lawsuit. No owner can avoid assessments by not using the common area.
• Rule enforcement & fines: Violations are handled through a multi-step process: a first notice gives 30 days to cure, a second notice gives 30 more days, and after 60 days fines start at $50 per month (up to a $500 cap per violation). The HOA may also enter the property to fix the violation and bill the owner. For safety/health threats, the cure period is only 72 hours before fines can start.
• Common area use & voting suspension: The Board can suspend a member's voting rights and right to use the irrigation facilities for up to 60 days for rule violations. Voting rights are also suspended for any owner who has been in violation within the prior 30 days. The Board can adopt rules for common area use.
• Owner records & privacy: Members can inspect and copy Association records (minutes, financials, list of owners, etc.) for a proper purpose, with five business days’ notice, during normal business hours. Certain records (personnel files, litigation files, inter-office drafts) are kept confidential. The HOA may charge a copying fee.
• Dispute resolution: The Association encourages members to try informal resolution or alternative dispute resolution (mediation or arbitration) before filing a lawsuit. However, this doesn't apply to collection actions, enforcement actions, or cases where a statute of limitations is about to run.
• What this document doesn't cover: These excerpts do not include the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions — the main document that would list specific rules about things like parking, landscaping, architectural changes, pets, leasing, and other day-to-day restrictions. Those rules are referenced but not quoted here.
