PETITION REQUESTING MEMBER ENGAGEMENT & PAUSE OF RECENT HOUSE RULES ENFORCEMENT

We, the undersigned owners at Chalet on the Lake, respectfully ask the Board to immediately pause enforcement of the recently adopted House Rule changes.

Many of these new rules represent major changes from the rules in place when many of us purchased our chalets. Beyond rental restrictions, the new rules expand the powers of the Board and concentrate authority in ways that concern a growing number of members. This large group of owners have now raised concerns about how quickly these changes were made and the lack of owner discussion or input before they were adopted.
At this point, both the Board and a group of owners have hired attorneys, and there are different opinions about whether these newest changes were made the right way. If the Board moves forward with enforcement while these issues are still being debated it could lead to litigation and unnecessary costs that would ultimately be paid by the co-op and its members. This could significantly impact the Cooperative’s financial position and for governance changes that many owners did not request and do not support.
This petition is not about arguing over individual rules. It is about asking for a clear, fair process protected by our ByLaws and Proprietary Lease before major changes take effect. It is about ensuring that major changes affecting owner rights, financial obligations, and enforcement authority are addressed transparently, collaboratively, and with appropriate member involvement, rather than through unilateral action that exposes the Cooperative to unnecessary risk.

We respectfully ask the Board to:

1. Immediately pause enforcement of all newly adopted House Rule changes
2. Engage directly with concerned owners in an open forum to discuss these issues
3. Commit that any future changes materially affecting owner rights or enforcement authority will be pursued through proper process, including transparency, full discussion, and a formal member vote where required by the governing documents

We believe this approach will help protect the financial health of the co-op and rebuild trust within the community.
