Assessments and Dues

At the December 5, 2000 Annual Meeting of the New Mark First Pool Association amendments to Article VI, Section 6.1 and Section 6.4 were voted on, approved, and recorded in Clay County:

Section 6.1 was amended to read:

6.1 Imposition of Regular Assessments. For the purpose of providing a general fund to enable the Association to perform and exercise the rights, powers and duties set out in Article V hereof, all Lots subject to this Declaration shall be subject to an annual Assessment based upon the anticipated total annual cost of the Association in carrying out the powers and duties provided for in Article V above divided by the number of Lots subject to this Declaration. Assessments on all Lots shall commence on the first day of the month following conveyance of the common area to the First Pool Association. The amount of the Annual Assessment shall be an amount of money sufficient to enable the Association to carry out the powers and duties provided for in Article V; provided however, that the amount of an annual Assessment against each Lot owned by a member of the Association shall not exceed two hundred seventy-five dollars ($275.00). It is further provided that until Lots have a Living Unit erected on them which has been once occupied, said Lots shall be subject to an Annual Assessment of twenty-five percent (25%) of the regular unit Assessment.

6.2 Notice. Notice of the amount of Assessments against the Lot held by a particular owner shall be deemed sufficient if a written or printed notice of the amount of said Assessment is deposited in the United States Post Office, with postage prepaid, and addressed to the respective Lot Owners at their last known address.

It is provided, however, that the failure of the Association to make an Assessment prior to December 1 of any year for the approaching fiscal year shall not invalidate any such Assessment subsequently made for that fiscal year; nor shall the failure to make an Assessment for any one year affect the right of the Association to do so for any subsequent year. In the event that an Assessment is made later than thirty-one (31) days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year to which it applied, then the Assessment shall be due and payable not later than thirty (30) days from the date that the notice of the Assessment is mailed to the member. Said Assessment shall be delinquent thirty (30) days after such Assessment is due and payable.

6.3 When Assessments Levied and Due. The annual Assessments shall be fixed and levied for each fiscal year. The first Assessment shall be for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1970. Assessments for each fiscal year shall be fixed and levied at least forty-five (45) days prior to January 1 of the fiscal year to which they apply. Assessments shall be due and payable on the first day of January for the fiscal year to which they are applicable and shall be delinquent thirty (30) days thereafter. On or before December 1 of each year, the Association shall notify each member owning a Lot subject to Assessment at such member's last known address, this notice shall state the number of Lots with respect to which an Assessment has been levied, the amount of Assessment per Lot, the total amount of the Assessment owed by each member, and the fact that the Assessment is due on January 1 of the approaching calendar year.

The amount of the Annual Assessment may be increased above the sum of two hundred seventy-five dollars ($275.00) for each lot provided that such increase is first approved by a fifty-one percent (51%) majority vote of the members of the Association taken at either the annual or a special meeting of the members. Special meetings shall be called pursuant to the provisions of the Article VII hereof.

Section 6.4 was amended to read:

6.4 Lien on Real Estate. All assessments shall be the personal obligations of the Association Member, and the assessment shall become delinquent and constitute a lien on the lot for which the assessment is owed thirty (30) days after the date on which the assessment is due and payable as set forth in Section 6.3. In the event that any property owner fails to pay the assessment on or before the date it becomes delinquent, then such assessment shall bear interest at the greater of the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum or the "Market Rate", as defined by applicable Missouri Statute, plus an additional $15.00 per month, determined as of the date when such assessment shall first become delinquent.
