5.4 ARC Decisions. The ARC shall render its decision with respect to the construction proposal within thirty (30) working days after it has received all material required by it with respect to the application, including any reasonable fee established by the ARC and approved by the Board of Directors. In the event the ARC fails to render its approval or disapproval within thirty (30) working days after the ARC has received all material required by it with respect to the proposal, or if no suit to enforce this Declaration has been commenced within one (1) year after completion thereof, approval will not be required, and the related provisions of this Declaration shall be deemed to have been fully complied with.

In the event the Association shall bring any suit or action to enforce this Declaration, Bylaws, rules and regulations or the Sublease, the Owner shall pay to the Association all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with such suit or action, and the prevailing party in such suit or action shall recover such amount as the court may determine to be reasonable as attorney’s fees at trial and upon any appeal or petition for review thereof.

8.6 Nonexclusiveness and Accumulation of Remedies. An election by the Association to pursue any remedy provided for violation of this Declaration shall not prevent concurrent or subsequent exercise of another remedy permitted hereunder. The remedies provided in this Declaration are not exclusive, but shall be in addition to all other remedies, including actions for damages, suits for injunctions and specific performance, available under applicable law to the Association.

Rule #1. The WHIMOA BOD may take action to levy a fine for violations of the CC&Rs and these rules caused by either an Owner, guest of an Owner or Tenant. In accordance with the CC&Rs, an Owner is responsible for their guests and their tenants and their tenant’s guests, and therefore, all further references to Owner, Guest of an owner or tenant (to include tenant’s guests) regarding violations will be referred to only as Owner, where practical, since they are the responsible party. Rule #1 established the guidelines and procedures by which a violation or an alleged violation will be handled. Guidelines for the Violations and Adjudication committee in processing an alleged violation are at Attachment 1.
Rule #1a. An owner or tenant may present an alleged violation of the CC&Rs or Rules to the BOD for action.
Rule #1b. Any alleged violations of the CC&Rs or Rules must be submitted in writing to the BOD with full details as to the violation. Full details include, date, time, CC&R or Rule paragraph in violation, nature of violation, person in violation, person observing the violation and any potential witnesses or pictures.
Rule #1c. The BOD will assign the alleged violation to the Violations and Adjudication Committee for fact finding and recommendations to the BOD.
Rule #1d. The BOD will take action on the alleged violation based on the recommendations of the Violations and Adjudication Committee.
Rule #1e. On recommendation of the Violations and Adjudication Committee, the BOD will notify the owner of (a) the alleged violation, (b) the amount of the proposed fine, and (c) the opportunity for a hearing. Such notification may be by first class mail to the last known address of the owner according to the Association’s records or by personal delivery. Owner shall have ten days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered to request a hearing in writing to the BOD.
Rule #1f. The BOD shall place the alleged violation on the agenda of the next reasonable BOD meeting following the suspense date of the notification as stated in Rule #1e.
Rule #1g. If the owner does not timely request a hearing or fails to attend the hearing, the BOD may render a decision without a hearing or without the participation of the owner.
Rule #1h. The action of the BOD through this process is the final remedy to the violation. The BOD shall notify the owner of the action of the board.
Rule #1i. The BOD shall levy fines as stipulated in the Fine Appendix A to these rules. Should a violation be identified that does not have a specified fine assigned, the BOD may assign a fine to the violation as indicated by “Other”.
Rule #2. Dues, Assessments, Fines and Penalties are due on the first of the month following the month they are incurred. Dues, Assessments, Fines and Penalties not paid when due shall incur interest at the rate of 18% per annum until paid.
Rule #3. The speed limit in the moorage is 15 MPH. All owners, owner’s guests, tenants and tenant’s guests must adhere to this speed limit. A fine may be levied against an owner for violations of this speed limit by the owner, owner’s guests, tenants or tenant’s guests.
Rule #4. Owners are responsible for the action of their pets, guest’s pets, tenant’s pets, and tenant guest’s pets, the same as they are responsible for the action of their guests, tenants, and tenant’s guests. The BOD has adopted the Multnomah County Animal Control ordinance Chapter 13 in its entirety for the West Hayden Island Moorage. Owners are subject to a fine for not following the ordinance, the CC&Rs and these rules.
Rule #4a. Within the moorage there is a designated off-leash area that is identified by signage. This area is defined as the wooded area beginning at the curve inside of the gate entering the moorage, east of the driveway curbing, and south to the beginning of the grass on the south curve of the driveway. No grassy areas in the moorage are included in the off-leash area. In all other areas, dogs must be on a leash and constrained by their owner.
Rule #4b. Mutt-Mitts are provided at each gazebo. Moorage owners are responsible for the removal of the excrement of pets of the owner, owner’s guests, tenants, and tenant’s guests. This applies everywhere in the moorage, even in the off-leash area. Pet owners are expected to maintain visual oversight of their pet and monitor the pet sufficiently to observe and remove excrement as long as it can be reached by the owner. Moreover, to help avoid contamination of the City’s ground water and waterways, Portland City Code requires that all pet excrement be picked up and disposed of in a proper receptacle. As such, all Moorage residents are prohibited from discarding excrement in the river.
Rule #4c. Moorage Owners are responsible for any damage caused by pets of the owner, owner’s guest, tenants or tenant’s guests. This includes all domesticated animal pets that are allowed to be outside of or off of the owner’s moorage slip whether leashed or not.
Rule #4d. Moorage Owners are responsible for pet nuisance caused by pets of the owner, owner’s guest, tenants or tenant’s guests. This includes all domesticated animal pets kept within the moorage. Examples of nuisance are excessive barking, excrement left on owner’s decking, cats digging in other’s flower beds, etc.
Rule #4e. Per CCR Section 4.6.2, no more than 2 dogs and 1 cat or 1 dog and 2 cats are allowed per household. This limitation does not apply to short-term guests of two weeks or less.
Rule #5. Operating a business inside of the moorage is prohibited. Rule #5 is to further define what constitutes operating a business within the moorage. Rule 5a, b, c, and d is a restatement of the limitations of “operating a business” as stated in the CC&Rs. 5c1, 2, and 3 are added definitions as are all others under Rule #5.
Rule #5a. Garage Space may be used by an Owner as a personal shop, but no commercial or business activity may be conducted from any Garage Space.
Rule #5b. No trade, craft, business, profession, commercial or similar activity of any kind shall be conducted within the uplands or Moorage Space,
Rule #5c. No goods, equipment, vehicles, materials or supplies used in connection with any trade, service or business be kept or stored on any Moorage Space or Garage Space.
Rule #5c1. 5c above shall include any vessel, barge or float used in connection with any trade, service or business.
Rule #5c2. A vessel, barge or float owned by an outside contractor and used in connection with a remodel or repair may be temporarily stored at an owner’s slip with the approval of the BOD. Temporary storage for a vessel, barge or float must be requested in writing to the BOD and indicate the size, use and inclusive dates of such temporary storage.
Rule 5d. Nothing in these rules shall be deemed to prohibit the right of the Owner of a Moorage Space to maintain his home office, professional personal library, keep his business or professional records or accounts, handle his business or professional telephone calls or confer with a reasonably limited number of business or professional associates, clients or customers in his Houseboat.
Rule 5e. Operating a business is further defined in 5e1 and 5e2 below as defined by the City of Portland, Charter, Codes and Policies definition.
Rule 5e1. A. “Business” means an enterprise, activity, profession or undertaking of any nature, whether related or unrelated, by a person in the pursuit of profit, gain, or the production of income, including services performed by an individual for remuneration, but does not include wages earned as an employee.
Rule 5e2. B. “Doing Business” means to engage in any activity in pursuit of profit or gain, including but not limited to, any transaction involving the holding, sale, rental or lease of property, the manufacture or sale of goods or the sale or rendering of services other than as an employee. Doing business includes activities carried on by a person through officers, agents or employees as well as activities carried on by a person on his or her own behalf
Rule #5f. Operating a business shall be further defined as conducting an activity for which a monetary amount is transferred whether it is classified as cash, check, credit or barter between an owner as a provider and a recipient as a non-owner. This condition is exclusionary of whether or not the owner is licensed to conduct such activity.
Rule #5g. Nothing in these rules shall restrict one owner from assisting another owner in maintaining or upgrading their personal property without remuneration.
Rule #6. Each Owner shall maintain his Moorage Space, Garage Space, Houseboat, floats, and all other personal property belonging to him at the Moorage in a clean and attractive condition, in good repair, and in such fashion as not to create any fire danger or environmental hazard. An owner that fails to follow this condition shall have their personal property considered a nuisance.
Rule #6a. WHIMOA shall reimburse owners for the cost of repairing the mechanical elements of garage doors that enable them to open and close (e.g., springs, runners). However, owners are responsible for all repairs related to electric garage door openers and their clickers, and for any damage done to the doors or to the garages themselves.
Rule #7. Storage of materials or parking of trailers by Owners in areas within the Upland is not permitted.
Rule #7a. An owner shall not allow any guest or tenants guest to park a trailer, motor home or store materials within the uplands for any duration.
Rule #7b. An owner or tenant, for the purpose of transitioning a boat, travel trailer, or motor home, may use a single parking space near the center of the parking area for a period not to exceed 48 hours in any ten consecutive days.

Rule #7c. An owner exceeding the maximum time shall be subject to a fine as listed in Appendix A.
Rule #7d. An owner that allows a guest or tenant’s guest to violate Rule #7a is subject to a fine as listed in Appendix A.
Rule #7e. A trailer, travel trailer, or motor home that exceeds the space limitation of a single parking space shall be parked in the center driveway.
Rule #7f. An owner is responsible to have the owner or tenant move materials delivered to the moorage for their use to their garage or moorage slip within the same business day of the delivery.
NOTE: For the purpose of this rule, the definition of “transitioning” shall mean, in the case of a boat or boat trailer awaiting the launch or recovery of the boat, for the purpose of a travel trailer or motor home, the cleaning or provisioning before and after a trip or its use. Also for the purpose of this rule, a “single parking space” shall have a length restriction of 25 feet.
Rule #8. No Owner shall permit any vehicle which is in an extreme state of disrepair or is not properly licensed and registered to be abandoned or to remain parked upon the Upland in excess of forty-eight (48) hours in any thirty-day period. No Owner shall permit any vessel which is in an extreme state of disrepair or is not properly licensed and registered to be abandoned or to remain within the moorage in excess of forty-eight (48) hours in any thirty-day period.
Rule #8a. A vehicle or vessel shall be deemed in an “extreme state of disrepair” when the Board of Directors reasonably determines that its presence offends the occupants of the Moorage.
Rule #8b. An owner violating this rule shall be given notice to remove the
vehicle or vessel from the premises. Upon receipt of this notice, the owner has three days to provide the BOD with a letter as a means of being heard on the matter; verbal communications will not be accepted. Upon being heard, the BOD will take action to dismiss the matter as justified or will provide the owner with final notice. The final notice will also include a daily fine as listed in Appendix A, the date the fine begins, and the date on which the vehicle or vessel will be towed if not removed.
Rule #9. Unauthorized parking shall not be permitted.
Rule #9a. No owner, owner’s guest, owner’s tenant or tenant’s guest shall park in a no parking zone, in front of a fire hydrant or along a designated fire lane.

Rule #9c. No owner shall permit a guest or tenant’s guest to park a vehicle upon the Uplands as a convenience to that guest while traveling.
Rule #9d. No owner shall permit a water-craft or vessel not owned by the owner or owner’s tenant to remain moored within the moorage while the owner of that water craft or vessel is not visiting the owner or tenant as a guest in the moorage.
Rule #9e. No owner shall permit the storage of a vehicle within the upland outside parking that is not used on a regular basis. The intent of the term ‘regular’ means daily or weekly.
Rule #9f. To facilitate easy identification of owners’ vehicles, WHIMOA has implemented a parking sticker policy. Stickers are issued for each vehicle an owner or resident (tenant) regularly parks in the parking area. Sticker should be placed in the rear window of vehicle, lower left (driver side) corner. Necessary exceptions must have BOD approval. Stickers are not required for vehicles owned by guests.
Rule 10. Construction activity as authorized will be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday only for outside contractors. For purposes of this Rule, the term “contractor” does not include utility workers, such as those that provide services for gas, electric, and cable companies. Remodeling construction and home maintenance activity by the slip owner as authorized will be limited to the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and legal holidays, except in an emergency repair situation.
Rule 10a. An outside contractor may be authorized to perform work in the moorage with prior approval of the BOD. The BOD will address this approval after receiving a letter from the owner identifying the circumstances which would require the outside contractor to perform the work on Saturday as opposed to during the normal contractor authorized times.
Rule 10b. Unauthorized construction activity will be subject to a fine as shown in Appendix A, Fines. Unauthorized construction activity is any construction activity performed on the exterior of the owners floating home which does not have the approval of the BOD.
Rule 10c. As of June 30, 2006 New Construction in the moorage is not authorized. All new construction must be performed off site until substantially complete as stated in the CC&Rs. An owner in violation of this section of the CC&Rs and these rules will be subject to a fine as shown in Appendix A, Fines. Rule 11. Access devices including Access cards and Remote transmitters shall be used to gain access through the vehicle gate
Rule 11. Access devices including Access cards and Remote transmitters shall be used to gain access through the vehicle gate.
11.a. The owner of each moorage space is authorized 2 Access Cards at no charge and 2 Remote Transmitters at the current price of $50.00 per Remote.
11.a.1. These access devices are intended for use by slip owners and their immediate family. They will be registered in the access control database as assigned to the owner(s), family members, or renters. Each access device may be registered to no more than 1 family member or resident.
11.a.2. If the access device is to be issued to a non-resident such as a house keeper, maid, chef, etc. the owner must provide notification to the BOD as stated in rule 11.d. below.
11.b. Additional cards and remotes: Two additional cards can be purchased at
$50 per card, and two more at $100 per card. Two additional remotes can be purchased at
$100 per remote. These additional cards and remotes are also covered by the
requirements of 11.a.1 and 11.a.2.
11.c. The BOD may be petitioned for special circumstances to request relief from the “convenience fee”.
11.d. In any case, if an access device is intended to be issued to a non-resident or to someone other than an immediate family member:
11.d.1. It must be justified to the BOD.
11.d.2. The owner must provide the name of the intended recipient along with the expected times of access. This information will be placed into the database to identify that person in the access reports.
11.d.3. The owner must instruct the recipient on the rules for its use including what constitutes abuse.
11.e. What constitutes abuse: Any act to circumvent the purpose of the gate access control system whether or not intentional shall constitute abuse.
11.e.1. The intended purpose of the access control system is to (I). Control the entry of vehicles and (ii). Identify those individuals gaining access through the use of the access devices.
11.e.2. A holder of an access device must not “loan” the device to another person without prior coordination with the BOD.
11.e.3. A holder of an access device that wishes to “train” his/her vehicle remote entry system with that device must notify the board of their intention to do so, to allow that information to be added to the database.
11.e.4. Nothing in this rule shall prevent the holder of an access device from loaning his/her vehicle to a third party and subsequently allowing the third party to gain access through the use of the device located in that vehicle.
11.f. The penalties for abuse of the access control system shall be a fine of up to $500.00 and or deletion of all access devices except 1 card held by that owner.
Rule #12. The occupancy of the moorage space and the use of the associated garage space must remain together. If the Owner of a moorage space rents or leases his/her moorage space to another party, the rent or lease agreement shall include the right to use the associated garage space by the tenant.
Rule #13. Owner assessments, sometimes referred to as “dues,” are expected to be paid on the first of each month if not on automatic payment. There will be a “grace period” of one week at the beginning of each month. Any owner who has not paid the assessment by the 7th of the month will be assessed a $35 late fee. (Automatic payments can be arranged with the Treasurer and are not subject to late fees.)
Rule #14 No homeowner or resident shall construct, reconstruct, or alter, even temporarily, any common facility without specific prior permission of the BOD. This includes the opening or moving of the west walkway. Because such actions can have serious consequences for the moorage and its residents, the fine for violations of Rule 14 is set at $2500 per incident.
Rule #15 Each year, on the moorage’s Community Work Day, participating volunteers inspect and dye test owners’ honeypots and systems, for free, as long as they are readily accessible. If a honeypot is not available for inspection that day, the Board assesses the owner a fee of $50.00 to cover the cost of a return visit, by appointment, to inspect the components. This inspection must be completed within 15 days following Community Work Day. Alternatively, owners may choose to request a waiver of this nominal fee to hire, subject to Board approval, a locally licensed inspector to certify the integrity of the honeypot and system. Written documentation of this certification must be provided to the Board within the 15-day period following Community Work Day. The Board will assess a fine for noncompliance with this Rule.
Rule #16 To help alleviate the burden of work placed on the BoD regarding property rentals on the Moorage, any owner renting his or her slip/floating home is required to serve as, or to be represented by, a Property Manager or a property management company. Property Managers will work with the Board to ensure that all WHIMOA requirements for the execution and management of the rental are met. In order for an owner or those identified by the owner (e.g., another moorage resident; commercial Property Management company) to serve as a Property Manager, the following requirements must be met: (1) Owners must notify the BoD Secretary of an upcoming rental prior to any action being taken regarding the rental; and (2) All Property Managers must strictly adhere to the requirements set forth in the WHIMOA Property Manager Checklist. There may be no deviations from the Checklist requirements. Once notified of an upcoming rental, the BoD Secretary will send the identified Property Manager a link to all WHIMOA required rental documents and the Property Manager Checklist.
Rule #17 All Moorage nonowner residents are subject to WHIMOA screening and residency requirements. By definition, nonowners are not members of the West Hayden Island Moorage Owners Association.
Rule 17.a. In accordance with WHIMOA CC&Rs 4.3 – 4.3.3, all residents of the Moorage (owners, tenants, residents) are required to undergo a background check for approval by the BoD. In addition to this screening process, all residents are also required to receive and read the WHIMOA governing documents (Bylaws, CC&Rs, and Rules), and to sign an Acknowledgment Form to affirm that they have done so and that they will comply with these documents. Additionally, all residents are to obtain a parking sticker if they maintain a car at the Moorage. These residency requirements are addressed for new owners and tenants during WHIMOA’s sales and rentals processes, but those residents (adult children, family members, friends ) who move to the Moorage to live with existing owners or renters are also subject to these requirements.
Rule 17.a.1. Owners are required to notify the BoD Secretary of all new nonowner residents living with them, who, whether adult children, other family members, or friends, must undergo a background check, complete the Acknowledgment Form, and obtain a parking sticker, if appropriate. Please see Definitions, below, for additional information regarding Guests and House Sitters.
Rule 17.a 2 Owners bear ultimate responsibility for the behavior of their guests, house sitters, and all individuals residing with them, and are subject to violation notices and fines for noncompliance with WHIMOA’s CC&Rs and the residency screening process.
Rule 17.b By definition, nonowner residents are not members of the Association and, as such, are prohibited from receiving information related to the West Hayden Island Moorage Owners Association via emails, and from attending monthly BoD and annual meetings.
Rule 17.b.1 To enable owners to designate individuals who reside with them, but do not appear on the Deed of Sublease, and who, therefore, are not considered owners or members of the Association, to receive information related to the West Hayden Island Moorage Owners Association via emails, and attendance at monthly and annual meetings, an owner may complete and submit to the BoD a “Designation of Non-Owner to Receive WHIMOA Information” form, available on the WHIMOA website. Owners may not designate their Renters to receive this information or to attend meetings. This designation in no way delegates the legal rights of owners to the designee. Please note that, should it become appropriate, the Secretary of the WHIMOA Board of Directors is to be notified, in a timely manner, of the need to rescind this designation.
Definitions
Owner is defined by CC&R 1.11 as the person or persons holding a Moorage Space Deed of Sublease. The rights, obligations, and other status of being an owner commence upon the acquisition of a leasehold estate under a Sublease and terminate upon disposition of such leasehold estate.
Membership is defined by CC&R 6.3 to include every owner of one or more Moorage Spaces within the Moorage who, during the entire period of such owner’s ownership of a leasehold estate in one or more Moorage Spaces within the Moorage, shall be a member of the Association.

House Sitter is defined as a person who occupies a dwelling to provide security and maintenance while the resident is away. Whether a family member, friend, or an individual engaged to provide this service on a professional basis, all house sitters must be approved by the BoD. Regardless of the house sitting duration, owners are required to inform the BoD of the presence of house sitters; to arrange for the house sitter to receive copies of the governing documents and sign an Acknowledgement Form; and to provide the BoD with the house sitter’s vehicle information. All professional house sitters are required to undergo a background check before arrival.
Rule #99. This rule will apply when a violation of the CC&Rs that is not identified in the above specific rules can be identified and adjudicated.
Rule #100. An owner that feels it necessary to request a variance to a given rule must request the variance in writing to the BOD in advance of the violation of the rule and in sufficient time so that the BOD may take the matter into consideration at the next regular BOD meeting. The decision will be based on a majority vote of the BOD at the regular meeting.

ATTACHMENT 1
Board of Directors Action
&
VIOLATIONS AND ADJUDICATION PROCEDURES
The primary objective of the Violations and Adjudication Committee (VAC) is to identify the validity of an alleged violation of the CC&Rs and/or Rules of West Hayden Island Moorage. In fairness to all moorage owners, it is incumbent upon the VAC to investigate to the best of their ability the alleged violation and to make a reasonable presentation of facts to the BOD for action.
