SECTION 1. INFORMATION
Organization:
The Coronado Shores are made up of eleven distinct entities: Ten (10) separate Associations, each responsible for their own building and the Landscape & Recreation (L & R )Department which is responsible for maintaining the common area facilities such as the walkways, pools, tennis courts and Beach Club. The building's affairs are governed by an electedd Board of Directors. The L & R is governed by a committee made up of representatives from each of the ten Associations.
Board of Directors:
The Board is comprised of five homeowners who are elected at the annual meeting of the homeowners held in March. The Board sets policy which is implemented and enforced by the Building Manager and the staff. Board meetings are usually held on the fourth Friday of every other month, and homeowners are encouraged to attend. Watch the elevator bulletin boards for exact times or call the Building Manager.
L & R Committee:
This Committee overseas the L & R manager and staff. They formulate policies, rules and regulations for the common areas and approve the budget for those facilities and personnel that they oversee. Any questions or concerns about the common areas should be given to your Association manager who will forward it to your L & R representative.
Enforcement Committee:
This Committee, with representation from each of the Associations is in charge of overseeing the secondary maintenance of the seawall and roadway and is the only committee with the right to assess the associations without prior approval.
Other Committees:
Other Committees include the Beach Club Committee and Insurance Committee. There is a Cable T.V Committee also which is represented by nine of the Associations.
Definition of a Condominium:
“Unit” shall mean and refer to the elements of a Condominium which are not owned in common with other owners of other Condominiums. Or, in other words a “Unit” is everything that you own individually. The boundaries of a Unit shall be the unfinished interior surfaces of the perimeter walls, floors, ceilings, windows, and doors of each Unit, where they exist, and otherwise to the vertical or horizontal planes at the limits of the dimensions as shown on the condominium plan, that has been filed, pursuant to Section 1351 of the California Civil Code, in the office of the County Recorder of San Diego County.
Communication:
Bulletin boards are located adjacent to the mail boxes and in each elevator for posting information about activities, meetings, etc. that might be of interest to residents. In addition the Association publishes a quarterly newsletter providing information concerning Board activities and other items of interest to homeowners An L&R newsletter is also available at the front desk or in the mail room. This newsletter has information concerning Beach Club activities and common area issues.
Manager (437-4588):
The manager is available during normal business hours, and can be contacted, if necessary, by the Doorpeople during off-duty hours. The emphasis of the manager’s services are to oversee the staff, Association fiunds and building maintenance.
Doorpeople (437-4575):
Doorpeople (not bellboys or porters) are provided around the clock - 24 hours. The emphasis of their services is the security of all residents. Please respect their inquiries in assisting you. Also, for directions to other Towers, pools, courts, and general information about the area, don’t hesitate to ask.
Authorized Entry:
Building security benefits all residents. To be effective a good security system requires that all outsiders be admitted to the building only upon authorization of the residents whom they are visiting. Residents must insist that outsiders stop at the doorperson’s desk to be announced before admission. The manager or doorperson should be informed immediately as to the presence of any unauthorized person in the building. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep their authorized entry card up to date. This informs the staff who may enter their unit. From 10:00p.m. to 6:00 am, the condominium front door key is required to operate the elevators.
Emergency Access:
Under the CC&R’s, the Management must have access to all units for maintenance, repair or replacement of any common elements therein, or for making emergency repairs therein necessary to prevent damage to the common area or to other units. In case of an emergency involving a unit, it may be essential for the Manager to have access to all units. Accordingly, it is essential that the Management have a key to all units.
Assessments:
Prompt payment of assessments is necessary to the smooth operation of your Association. Assessments are due on the first of each month and delinquent if not paid by the tenth. Delinquent assessments will incur a $25 00 late charge. Assessments that are two months delinquent will result in a lien being filed against your condominium.
