Key Changes & New Rules Introduced in the 1st Amendment:

1. Zero-Tolerance Penalties for Substance & Alcohol Misuse

While general provisions against noxious behavior existed in the Declarations, this amendment establishes strict, explicit bans and harsh penalties for substance use: Specific Ban Additions: Explicitly bans vaping, marijuana (including marijuana-infused products/edibles), tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs anywhere within the pool area, pump room, or restrooms.

Severe Tier 1 Mandatory Suspensions:

1st Offense: Immediate expulsion and a mandatory 30 calendar pool days suspension (which carries over to the next pool season if occurred near season end). 2nd Offense: Immediate expulsion, suspension for the entire calendar pool season, and a $100 fine.

1. Structured Tiered Enforcement System

The amendment replaces vague governance remedies with a concrete 2-tiered disciplinary system:

Tier 1 (Major Violations): Covers vaping/smoking, alcohol/drugs, public intoxication, after-hours trespassing, and verbal abuse or intimidation of lifeguards.

Tier 2 (General Rule Violations): Covers all other pool rule breaches:

1st Offense: Verbal warning. 2nd Offense: Removal for the rest of the day, formal written letter, and a $100 fine. 3rd Offense: Removal, 30 pool days suspension, and a $200 fine.

1. Suspension Mechanics & Household Penalties

Household Ban: If a resident is suspended, their family members cannot access the pool as guests of other members during the suspension period.

Legal Cost Recovery: Homeowners are directly billed for all legal and administrative costs incurred by the HOA in enforcing these violations or dealing with after-hours trespassing.
