Every person or entity shall be classified as a member of the Club if they are a contract purchaser or owner of a fee simple interest in any lot(s) and/or condominium(s) in the plats of LakeLand Village which are subject to assessments by the Club under covenants of record. Provided, however, that if lot(s) and/or condominium(s) is/are held jointly by two (2) or more persons, the several owners of such interest shall designate one of their number as the “voting member”. The foregoing is not intended to include persons or entities who hold an interest merely as security for the performance of an obligation. No owner shall have more than one vote. Voting ownership shall be appurtenant to and may not be separated from ownership of or the contract purchaser’s interest in any lot and/or condominium which is subject to assessment by the Developer or the Club. Upon transfer of the fee interest to, or upon the execution and delivery of, a contract for the sale of (or of an assignment of a contract purchaser’s interest in) any lot(s) and/or condominium(s) the certificate of membership in the Club shall ipso facto be deemed to be transferred to the grantee or contract purchaser as the case may be. Ownership of or a contract purchaser’s interest in any such lots and/or condominium(s) shall be the sole qualification for membership. Section 2. Suspension of Membership. During any period in which a member shall be in default in the payment of any yearly special assessment, the voting rights and rights to use any of the recreational facilities by such member or his guests may be suspended by the Club until such assessment has been paid.

This rule is according to the non-profit corporation law of the State of Washington as set forth in Title 24, Revised Code of Washington. In the event that the non-profit corporation law of the State of Washington as set forth in Title 24, Revised Code of Washington is changed to permit one member of a non-profit corporation to exercise greater voting rights than another member, voting shall thereafter be according to the number of lots and/or condominiums owned, that is, members shall be entitled to one vote for each lot and/or condominium in which they hold the interest required for membership by Article III, Sections 1 and 2.

(b) To accommodate community growth and concomitantly increased budgetary requirements, the Board of Trustees, in addition to the increases required by CPI-U growth, shall have the authority to increase annual assessments up to a maximum of five percent (5%) each year. This increase cannot be cumulative, (i.e. a year in which there is no increase will have no effect on the 5% increase limitation for the following year). Any increase applied under this authority shall be applied to the previous year’s base assessment (prior to any CPI-U increase). (c) The maximum annual assessment may be increased above that established by the CPI-U increase and the discretionary percentage applied by the Board of Trustees by a vote of the members, provided that such additional increase shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the votes of all members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly called for this purpose.

Sale or transfer of any lot shall not affect the assessment lien. However, the sale or transfer of any lot which is subject to such first mortgage or purchase money second mortgage pursuant to a decree of foreclosure under such mortgage or in lieu of foreclosure thereof, shall extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments thereof, which became due prior to such sale or transfer. No sale or transfer shall relieve such lot from liability for any assessment thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.
