Cottages may not be rented in any two successive years without Board approval. The Board (after receiving a written request from a Member on a form approved by the Board) may, at its discretion, approve a consecutive-year rental. The Board, in exercising its discretion, may consider the following factors: (i) the Member’s illness, (ii) the Member’s temporary relocation, (iii) the Member’s economic distress, (iv) rental by a member of the Camp staff, (v) rental by another Member or a Member’s family member, (vi) use of the cottage as the primary residence by the Member or the Member’s family during either the summer season or the off-season or (vii) such extenuating circumstances as the Board may deem appropriate. This section does not apply to rentals for Commissioning Week only (see Section 1.8 below). Consecutive rental requests shall be denied for any Member who fails to comply with the terms and intent of this rule or any related rule (including without limitation the payment of Limited Membership fees), or for any other matter relating to cottage rentals or occupant behavior that the Board determines to be detrimental to the community.”

Passed October 15, 2013 Changes to Section 5.15 of the Sherwood Forest Boating Rules. New Section 5.15 now reads: 5.15 Boat Slip and Land Storage Space Assignments:

The allocation of boat slips and land storage spaces will be administered by the Boating Committee as appropriate to ensure that the established priorities are maintained and that efficient use is made of them. The Committee has the discretion to interpret these assignment rules and make all determinations necessary to assign slips and spaces.

A. Allocation of assignments:

Boat slips and land storage spaces will be rented strictly in the following order of priority:

FIRST -- Full Members of the Club, in good standing, for boats owned by them, registered or documented exclusively in their name and used principally by them and their dependents.

SECOND -- Children of Club Members, for boats owned by them, registered or documented exclusively in their names and used principally by them, provided guest fees are paid. See Section 1, Article VI, Club By-Laws.

THIRD -- All other applicants, in good standing, including Limited Members and any Member (Full or Limited) who jointly own, register or document their boats with a non- member of the Club provided guest fees are paid.

Slips and land storage spaces will be made available to the next-lower priority group only when there are no unsatisfied applications in the higher priority group. No person may be assigned more than one slip or more than one land storage space unless there are no unsatisfied applications in any priority group.

Persons who day launch their boat (i.e., launch it each time or each weekend that they use it) will be assigned a land storage space before persons who launch their boat and leave it in the water for extended periods. A person assigned a space as a day launcher must relinquish that space if he or she no longer continues to day launch the boat unless by that time he or she

7 would have been assigned a space from the Waiting List without having received priority as a day launcher.

All assignments necessarily take into account the size of the boat and the available slip or land storage space. A person on a waiting or change list with a boat that is not appropriate for the size of an available slip or space, will be passed over in favor of a person with a more recent application date whose boat is appropriate for the size of the available slip or space.

B. Assignment, Waiting and Change Lists:

1. The Current Assignment List records all assignments.

2. The Waiting List registers persons who have requested but not received an assignment.

3. The Change List registers persons that have an assigned slip or space and want to change it.

(a) Except as provided in (b), persons on the Change List will be given an opportunity to change slips/land storage spaces before slips/land storage spaces will be assigned to persons on the Waiting List. Change assignments will be made in order of priority based on the date the Club Office receives a complete change application. Change assignments will be made within each of the priority groups in A above, based on accommodation of the size of the boat.

(b) A person on the Change List will not be given an opportunity to change if there is a person on the Waiting List with an older Waiting List application date who is requesting the same size slip or land storage space.

(c) If a person on the Change List rejects a second change offer (different than the first offered), the person will be removed from the Change List. A person removed from the Change List may reapply; the date a complete re-application is received by the Club Office will be the person’s new Change List application date.

C. Applications for assignments:

Persons wishing to be assigned a slip or land storage space or change an assignment must submit an application to the Club Office.

1. Applications must be complete and provide all information applicable to the assignment request including the size of the boat and/or the approximate size of the trailer for which an assignment is requested, and an email address and telephone number at which the applicant can be contacted. The Boating Committee will review all applications and determine whether they are complete. Incomplete applications will not be accepted and will be returned.

8 2. The date a complete application is received by the Club Office is the person’s Waiting List or Change List date.

3. An applicant is responsible for keeping all information in an application current. Assignments will be considered and offered only upon the information contained in an application. Applicants may amend their applications by written request at any time prior to receiving an assignment offer.

4. Applications for different sized boats/trailers or a range of boat/trailer sizes will be accepted as a single application for assignment of the first available slip/land storage space that is appropriate for one of the boats/trailers included in the application.

D. Initial assignments:

Initial assignments will be made from the Waiting List.

1. Offers of assignments will be made by email stating the date by which the applicant must respond to the offer.

2. An applicant’s response to an offer must be by email. Failure to timely respond to an offer will be a rejection of the offer.

3. Offers of assignment will be made for only one boat/trailer included in an application. If an applicant submits an application for different sized boats/trailers or a range of boat/trailer sizes, an offer of assignment will be made of the first available slip/space that is appropriately sized for one of the boats/trailers included in the range of boat/trailer sizes.

4. Upon being offered an assignment an applicant must, within the time provided for a response: a) accept the offer as stated. The applicant must then promptly sign the slip lease or land storage agreement and pay the applicable rent; or b) accept the offer and request to defer occupying the slip/space for up to one year from the response date specified in the offer. The applicant must then promptly sign a temporary slip lease or land storage agreement, pay the rent due for the slip/space, and allow the Club to use the slip/space during the period of deferral. The applicant will be removed from the Waiting List. The applicant must give the Club Office fourteen days written notice to end any use the Club may be making of the slip/space.

(i) before the expiration of the period of deferral the applicant must occupy the slip/space with a boat/trailer that he or she owns which is appropriate for the slip/space. If the applicant does not do so, the temporary lease or agreement will terminate.

(ii) if, before the end of the period of deferral, the applicant purchases a boat/trailer that is not appropriate for the slip/space, the temporary lease or agreement will terminate and the applicant will be returned to the Waiting List in the applicant’s original position on the list with the purchased boat/trailer as that for which the applicant is seeking an assignment; or c) reject the offer at which time the applicant’s name will be removed from the Waiting List.

5. An applicant removed from a Waiting List may reapply for that Waiting List at any time by submitting a new application. The date a new complete application is received by the Club Office is the applicant’s new Waiting List date.

6. The slip/space relinquishment and change rules of this Section 5.15 do not apply to relinquishment of a slip/space or to requests to change a slip/space by a deferral assignee during the period of deferral under section 4 (b).

E. Persons relinquishing a slip/space:

If a person relinquishes a slip/space for any reason (other than involuntary forfeiture imposed by the Board for violation of the Rules, or for failure to pay rent) and thereafter again applies for a slip/space, the person will be placed on the applicable Waiting List based on the date of the person’s original application.

F. Termination of slip or space:

If a person who is assigned a slip/space, or the co-owner of an assigned boat/trailer, fails to maintain good standing in the Club or if some or all of his or her privileges are suspended or revoked by the Board of Directors for non-payment of Club or Company charges or for breach of another rule or obligation, the slip or land storage space assignment, lease or agreement will terminate. The ex-Assignee may apply for a new assignment and will receive a new Waiting List date upon receipt by the Club Office of a new complete application.

G. Initial slip and land storage fees:

1. The full annual fee for the calendar year of assignment applies to assignments accepted before October 1. No fee for the calendar year of assignment will apply to assignments accepted on or after that date.

2. The full annual land storage fee applies to persons who store a boat on a small boat rack or other unassigned location before October 1. No fee will apply to persons who initially store a small boat on or after that date.

H. Refund of fees:

1. Assignees who voluntarily relinquish a slip and remove their boat before July 1 will be refunded 50% of the annual slip fee. There will be no refunds for Assignees who relinquish a slip on or after that date, or whose slip lease is terminated under paragraph F.

2. An Assignee who is reassigned to a different slip or land storage space before July 1 will be billed for (or refunded) the difference in the fee for the entire year. No charges or refunds will be made for reassignments on or after that date. There will be no refunds upon reassignment to a land storage space in Little John yard from Robin Hood Flats or Fadeley’s Landing.

3. There will be no refunds to Assignees who remove boats and/or trailers from land storage at any time during the year.

12 Activities Committee – Mr. Baird, the Board Liaison to the Activities Committee, inquired about the Club policy for the use of club equipment, such as tables and chairs, for club sponsored functions on private property.

The Board agreed with this recommendation. Club personnel will not be available for transporting the equipment outside of normal Club venues.

Passed March 10, 2015 CHANGES TO THE CLUB’S BOATING RULES (ADDITIONS ARE UNDERLINED, DELETIONS ARE SHOWN IN STRIKETHROUGH):

5.5 Boat and Trailer Registration:

A. All boats and boat trailers must be registered with the Club. Applications are available at the Club Office and on the Club’s website. Applications, including all required attachments, must be submitted within 30 days of bringing a boat and/or trailer into Sherwood. Applications received after that time will be assessed a late fee. Multiple applications received on the same date will be treated as a single application. Members that provide all required information will be issued a Sherwood Forest sticker for each boat and trailer. These stickers must be displayed on a visible area of the boat/trailer.

B. Members must reregister their boat and/or trailer if they add a co-owner. If the new co-owner is a Full Member, the Member may retain his/her current slip and/or land storage space. The Member must relinquish his/her slip and/or land storage space if the new co-owner is a Limited Member or a non-member. The Member’s name will be added to the Waiting List in the appropriate category (Section 5.15 B.)

5.7 Use of Boat Slips and Land Storage Spaces:

E. An Assignee not planning to use his or her (a) slip for more than 30 days at any time during the period from May 15th through October 15th or (b) land storage space for more than 30 days any time during the year must notify the Boating Committee and state when he or she expects to reoccupy the slip or land storage space. For such periods the Club reserves the right to make a temporary assignment to a person on the Change List or the Waiting List or to another slip or land storage space holder.

F. Unless an Assignee has complied with paragraph D E above, upon failure to use an assigned slip or land storage space for a period of one year, the slip/space will be reassigned to a person on the Change or Waiting Lists and the former Assignee will be so notified. However, if, at the time of notification thereafter the Assignee indicates a future need for a slip or land storage space, his or her name will be returned added to the Waiting Change List upon filing of a Change Application. The date of the original filing that application will govern the position on the List.

G. When an Assignee wishes to place a different boat in the slip or land storage space, the Assignee must notify the, Boating Committee in writing, within ten days, of the change and should either request to retain the current slip and/or land storage space or the Assignee may request to be assigned to a different location.

13 1. An Assignee with a different boat may stay in his/her current assigned location if the Boating Committee determines that the new boat is appropriate for that location. The provisions of paragraph (2) below apply if the Boating Committee determines that the new boat is too small or otherwise inappropriate for the location.

2. Assignees requiring a different slip and/or land storage space will be placed on the Change List or the Waiting List (Section 5.15 (D) (3)) and the boat must be removed from the previously assigned slip/space.

5.15 Boat Slip and Land Storage Space Assignments:

B. Assignment, Waiting and Change Lists:

Three lists will be maintained for slips and three lists will be maintained for land storage spaces: a Current Assignment List, a Waiting List and a Change List. Positions on Waiting Lists and Change Lists will be governed by the date a complete application for the list is received by the Club Office. Assignments will be made within each of the priority groups in paragraph 5.15 A. above in accordance with subparagraph (4) below, based on accommodation of the size of the boat.

1. The Current Assignment List records all assignments.

2. The Waiting List registers persons who have requested but not ever received an assignment. Positions on this list are determined by the date of submittal of the application (Original Application Date).

3. The Change List registers persons that have an assigned slip or space and want to change it or previously relinquished a slip or space and want a slip or space again. Positions on this list are determined by the date of submittal of the change application.

(b) A person on the Change List will not be given an opportunity to change if there is a person on the Waiting List with an older original Waiting List application date who is requesting the same size slip or land storage space.

4. In making an assignment of an available slip/space, (i) all Members on the Change List seeking a slip/space appropriate for the available assignment and (ii) the highest priority Member on the Waiting List seeking the same size

14 slip/space; will be considered for the assignment. Among this group of Members:

a) The slip/space will be assigned to the highest priority Member from the Change List that has the same or an older Original Application Date than the Member being considered from the Waiting List.

b) If no Member on the Change List has the same or an older Original Application Date, the assignment will be made to the Member on the Waiting List.

c) If the Member from the Waiting Lists rejects an assignment offer, his name will be removed from the Waiting List under the provisions established in paragraph D. 4. c. In this case the assignment process begins again using the next Member on the Waiting List with an appropriately sized boat.

7/21/15 o.k.’d by Club President NEW SHERWOOD COMMUNITY POLICY ON DRONES The popularity of drones (Unmanned Aircraft Systems, or UAS) is increasing but it’s important to note that their operation is regulated by the FAA.
