The Grievance Committee The Grievance Committee is a standing committee of the Board established by Article VIII, Section 8.6 of ARCCA’s By-Laws, composed of at least three (3) ARCCA Members or Entity Member Designated Users, including the Chair, who are not Board members or their Immediate Families. The Grievance Committee is responsible for the investigation, in accordance with these Rules, of any allegation of improper conduct or conduct likely to endanger the welfare, safety, harmony or good reputation of ARCCA or of its Members (including traffic and vehicular violations), or any alleged violation of ARCCA’s Governing Documents, the Village Association Documents or any other agreement, document or instrument affecting ARCCA’s Property, by a Member or Entity Member Designated User, or any of their Immediate Family, Designated User, invitees, tenants or guests (hereinafter a “Grievance”). However, this does not apply to grievances initiated by citations issued by ARCCA’s security personnel, whose procedures are set forth below. Based on this investigation, and after a hearing, the Grievance Committee, by a vote of a majority of its members who participate in the hearing, either in person or by remote attendance, can conclude that no further action is required or can recommend to the Board discipline of such Member, Designated User, Immediate Family, invitee, tenant or guest (any of such persons, hereinafter a “Respondent”), by censure, fine, suspension of some or all Membership privileges, and/or such other remedial action as may be appropriate for any such misconduct or violation and as permitted by ARCCA’s By-Laws, Declaration and Rules and Regulations and by Section 720.305, Florida Statutes, as they may be amended from time to time. The Grievance Committee is also responsible for recommendations to the Board for the enforcement of Article XV (Disciplinary Proceedings) of ARCCA’s By-Laws. The Grievance Committee or a sub- committee thereof as further described herein shall hear appeals from the imposition of citations issued by ARCCA’s security personnel. However, neither the Grievance Committee nor the Board can eliminate a Member’s ingress or egress from such Member’s Lot, although an access control device (such as the transponders used for automatic entry into Addison), can be deactivated as a sanction. The Hearing Committee The Hearing Committee is a standing committee of the Board, established by Article VIII, Section 8.7 of ARCCA’s By-Laws, composed of at least three (3) ARCCA Members or Entity Member Designated Users, including the Chair, who are not members of the Grievance Committee, Officers, Directors or employees of ARCCA, or their spouse, parent, child, brother or sister. The Hearing Committee shall conduct a hearing regarding any fine or suspension of any membership privileges proposed to be imposed by the Board. The Hearing Committee shall not hear traffic violation matters, which are addressed separately by the Citation Panel (defined later in this document). If the Respondent(s) timely contests the grievance pursuant to the paperwork circulated in advance of the scheduled hearing, a representative of the Grievance Committee shall attend the hearing. The Hearing Committee can only confirm or reject the fine or suspension proposed to be levied by the Board; it may not modify the sanction. If the Hearing Committee, by a vote of a majority of its members, confirms the proposed fine or suspension by the Board, such fine or suspension shall become effective in accordance with the terms of such fine or suspension proposed by the Board.
