suspension of other Membership privileges in addition to, or instead of, those listed, provided that it is in the Board's discretion as to whether an additional or alternative sanction is appropriate. The Hearing Committee shall hold a hearing to review any suspension of additional membership privileges by the Board in accordance with the procedures for hearings before the Hearing Committee set forth herein. Respondent(s) receiving a violation notice may acknowledge culpability and agree to pay the applicable fine within fourteen (14) days of the issuance of the notice to the ARCCA Administrative Office. The failure by a Respondent to respond to a violation notice in a timely manner will be deemed an admission of the alleged violation by default and may result in the imposition of an appropriate fine and/or other sanction. A Respondent who wishes to contest the violation(s) alleged in the notice may submit a written statement for consideration by the Citation Panel not less than seven (7) days prior to the hearing. The Citation Panel may call other witnesses, including but not limited to the person who issued the notice of violation. The Citation Panel may only confirm or reject the sanction imposed pursuant to the Board-adopted schedules. The ARCCA Administrative Office shall give written notice of the decision of the Citation Panel to the Respondent(s) within seven (7) days after the completion of the hearing, or within the time required under Florida Statutes, Section 720.305, as amended from time to time, for every violation. Where a fine and/or other sanction is imposed, the notice shall state that the Respondent must, within thirty (30) days of the written notice of the Citation Panel’s determination, pay the fine (if not already paid), or within such other time period as may be required under Florida Statutes, Section 720.305, as amended from time to time. Any sanction, other than a fine, shall be imposed during the season, November 1 through May 1, in which it occurred if there is time to serve the entire sanction during that timeframe. Otherwise, the sanction shall be imposed during the next season, November 1 through May 1. However, any suspension that is imposed in connection with an ARC violation and expressly conditioned upon the Respondent(s) bringing the property into compliance shall remain in effect until such compliance is achieved and is not subject to the seasonal schedule above. Any additional sanction imposed by the Grievance Committee shall be reviewed by the Board, and the Hearing Committee shall hold a hearing to review the Board’s decision according to the procedures set forth below. Withdrawal and Reinstatement of a Grievance A Grievance may be withdrawn by a Complainant at any time prior to a decision by the Grievance Committee. In such case, the Grievance Committee shall have no further jurisdiction over the matter. The same or a different Complainant may reinstate the Grievance within five (5) days of the withdrawal of the original complaint.
