2022 Guest Rules

1.0 INTRODUCTION The following behavior rules apply to Members, children, and guests on Forest Highlands’ property. The rules have been designed to provide a safe, supportive and happy environment at Forest Highlands. The Association Rules contain certain standards for appropriate decorum and behavior which are expected from all Members, residents and their guests. Unbecoming conduct in relationships with other members, Association employees or any other member of the community will not be tolerated. Members are responsible for the actions of their guests. In the event of any conflict between any provision of these Association Rules and any provision of the CC&R’s, the Articles, Bylaws, Enforcement Policies and Procedures, or Development Standards, the provisions of these Association Rules shall be deemed to be superseded by the aforementioned. In the best interest of the Association and at its discretion, the Forest Highlands Board of Directors may temporarily diverge from, suspend or modify an existing Forest Highlands rule or regulation in relation to a specific event or occurrence, when that change has been approved by the Board or Forest Highlands’ management. The General Rules are foundational to our Community. The Board will not tolerate any violation of these General Rules. Infractions of the General Rules will lead to immediate disciplinary action and the Board will takes steps to recoup, as Special Assessments, from any guilty party all costs, expenses, damages and other obligations incurred or expended by the Association as a result of any Member(s)’ (or family member(s)’ or guest(s)’) breach of these General Rules. The General Rules are in addition to and not in replacement of, other Rules set forth in these Association Rules. In the event behavior is covered in these General Rules and in a specific rule below, all such rules will apply independently. The Association is obligated to provide a harassment-free environment for its employees. Failure to do so can expose the Association to extensive liability. Members’ behavior can create a hostile work environment. Therefore, every Member must be mindful that her or his behavior to our employees must be respectful and appropriate at all times. GENERAL RULES Employees: Members must treat all employees, including management staff, with respect. Members may not direct, discipline, criticize, threaten, harass, or ask personal favors of, any employees or otherwise interfere with any employee’s job or responsibilities. Members may not say, text, email, or post on any social media any pictures, statements, criticism or disparaging comment about any Association employee. Members may not direct management staff to provide information or produce reports; however, Members may request from the Board or the General Manager the reports mandated by law by following the process set forth by law. Language: Members shall use appropriate language at all times. No foul, vulgar, threatening or demeaning language will be tolerated on the Association property or directed at any other Member or guest or any Association employee.
