Fine Committee


Positions open on the Johns Landing Fine Committee

A fine committee administers the fine process when a resident fails to re-mediate violations. The fine committee is the last arbiter that a resident who is accused of rules violation has. To clarify the fine committee does not levy fines, the board levies fines and the fine committee is the arbitrator between the board and the homeowner.

The role of the Fining Committee is expressly limited to preside over the “violation hearing” and to either “confirm or reject the fine or suspension levied by the board.”
Thus, it is not the Fining Committee’s role to grant extensions or otherwise change the amount of the fine levied by the Board.
Fines empower the board to carry out its duty to enforce the governing documents.
