COMPLAINT FORM

Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to Marblehead Boat Club Condominium and Marina Association(s). As a member of the association(s) you are truly privileged to be part of one of the most unique, premier developments on Lake Erie. As a private condominium and marina property, each member (owner) is governed by the Declaration and Bylaws all members received upon their purchase of either a condominium and/or boat slip, and the Rules set by the Board of Directors.

The objective of the Declaration, Bylaws and Rules is to maintain Marblehead Boat Club as a premier property and to ensure the quiet enjoyment of all members. The covenants and rules are mostly common sense when taking into consideration the health, safety and comfort of all members, the liability of the association(s), and the enduring value of the property.

A Board of Directors is elected to manage the affairs of each Association(s) on behalf of all its members. An Annual Members Meeting shall be held the second Saturday of September each year, at which time Board members are elected. The Bylaws for each Association authorize the Board(s) to adopt rules, obligate the Board(s) to enforce the rules and regulations, and give them the authority to do so.

Board members serve without compensation for a term of three (3) consecutive years. There are no term limitations. Board terms are staggered so new members are elected every year. This arrangement was established to provide continuity of experience and service from one year to the next. Following its election at the Annual Meeting, each Board of Directors is organized by electing from among its members the following officers: President, Vice-President(s), Secretary, and Treasurer.

Regularly scheduled Board meetings are held throughout the year. Members are welcome to observe Board meetings.

The Board of Directors has created this handbook to communicate the Rules it has adopted and as a quick reference to highlight the covenants embodied in the Declarations and Bylaws that pertain to living and using the condominium and/or marina at the Marblehead Boat Club.

This handbook is intended to supplement, not replace the Declaration and Bylaws; therefore, if there should be an inadvertent discrepancy between what is in this booklet and the recorded documents, the Declaration and/or Bylaws shall govern.

Please take time to read this handbook now so you will be familiar with its contents. We recommend that you keep this handbook readily available and refer to it when necessary. You may also want to make it available to your guests or tenants. Additional information is also contained in the Declaration and Bylaws that you received when you purchased your unit and/or boat slip lease.

Thank you,

Board of Directors

Marblehead Boat Club Condominium Association

Marblehead Boat Club Marina Association

Channels of Communication

A professional management company has been retained by the Board on behalf of both Associations to handle the day-to-day operations of the condominium and marina property. The management company is responsible for the billing and collection of monthly maintenance fees, obtaining bids for services rendered to the properties, interfacing with selected contractors and association members . Any questions or inquiries should be directed first to First Realty Property Management127 W. Perry St., Suite 202, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452. Their phone number is (419) 732-0054, and they are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergencies.

The Board of Directors is responsible for making the decisions affecting the property.

The Board requests and appreciates your cooperation in respecting that the Board members are not employees and should not be contacted on Association related matters outside of Board meetings unless it is a matter of urgent importance. Board members are not individually responsible for resolving matters or making decisions. Decisions concerning the property are made during Board meetings held throughout the year.

If you wish to bring a matter to the attention of the Board please submit your proposal in writing to the management company at least 2 weeks prior to any board meeting. There will be a 20 -minute period prior to any regular board meeting for members to express their comments and concerns. Members may observe any regular board meeting but shall not participate.
