CONTINENTAL CONDOMINIUMS

PREAMBLE TO THESE BYLAWS

A condominium community of one hundred families living on property that is owned by all, and in homes that are owned by each, admittedly have some built-in problems.

First and foremost they need enough security, peace and quiet to all themselves to enjoy their home and the time they spend there.

Secondly, they may expect the grounds they jointly own to be well cared for and properly maintained.

Thirdly, they have the right to expect and an opportunity to practice cooperation with every one of like circumstances in the community to attain the first two goals.

It is to further those ends that these BYLAWS have been corrected, updated, and are hereby dedicated.

NOTE: The BYLAWS were last updated in 1990, at that time less than 1/3 of our members lived in the complex. Today, more than 2/3rds live on the continental Condominium grounds. Therefore, the rules by which we govern ourselves become very important. In 1995, no quorum was present at the annual Meeting and 60% of the voting membership did not return the mail ballots on the proposed Bylaws changes. Therefore, these Bylaws reflect only the typing and/or spelling corrections and amendments as of 1993.

A TABLE OF CONTENTS WAS ADDED TO ASSIST ALL USERS OF THESE BYLAWS.

CONTINENTAL CONDOMINIUMS HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

BYLAWS

ARTICLE 1. OBJECT AND DEFINITIONS.

1.2 Assent. All present or future owners, tenants, future tenants or any other person using the facilities of the project in any manner are subject to the regulations set forth in these Bylaws. The mere acquisition or rental of any of the condominium apartments (hereinafter referred to as “apartments”) in the project or the mere act of occupancy of any of said apartments shall constitute ratification of these Bylaws.

1.3 Definitions. Unless otherwise specified, all terms shall have the same meaning in these Bylaws as such terms have in the Declaration. The terms “owners” and “members” as used herein shall be synonymous.

ARTICLE 2. MEMBERSHIP, VOTING, MEETINGS AND ADMINISTRATION

2.1 Form of Association. Initially the Association may be an unincorporated association. The Board, or Declarant, until such time as the initial Board is selected, may at any time if deemed advisable in the exercise of its sole discretion, without necessity of prior approval or other such action by the members being necessary, cause such incorporated association to be converted to a non-profit corporation under the laws of the State of Washington; provided, that, rights and duties of the members and of such corporation shall continue to be governed by the provisions of the Act, the Declaration, and these Bylaws.

2.1.1 Membership Qualification. Each fee owner (including Declarant) shall be a member of the Association and shall be entitled to one membership for each apartment so owned; provided that, if an apartment has been sold on contract, the contract purchaser shall exercise the rights of the apartment owner for purposes of the Declaration, the Association and the Bylaws, except as hereinafter limited and shall be the voting representative unless otherwise specified. Ownership or an apartment shall be the sole qualification for membership in the Association.

2.1.2 Transfer of Membership. The Association membership of each owner (including Declarant) shall be appurtenant to the apartment giving rise to such membership, and shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, conveyed or alienated in any way except upon the transfer of title to said apartment and then only to the transferee of the title to such apartment. Any attempt to make a prohibited transfer shall be void. Any transfer of title to an apartment shall operate automatically to transfer the membership in the Association appurtenant thereto to the new owner thereof. Sales by contract are hereby permitted and a contract purchaser in good standing shall be deemed a transferee within the meaning of this section.

2.1.3 Voting.
2.1.3.A Number of Votes. The total voting power of all owners shall be one hundred (100) votes and the total number of votes available to owners of any one apartment shall be equal to the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and the facilities appertaining to such apartment.
2.1.3.B Voting Owner. There shall be one voting representative of each apartment. Declarant shall be considered an “owner” as that term is used herein, and shall be the voting representative, with respect to any apartment or apartments owned by the Declarant. If a person (including Declarant) owns more than one apartment, he shall have the votes for each apartment owned. The voting representative shall be designated by the owner or owners of each apartment by written notice to the Board, and need not be an owner. The designation shall be revocable at any time by the actual notice to the Board from a party with ownership interest in the apartment. This power of designation and revocation may be exercised by the guardian of an apartment owner and the administrators or executors of an owner’s estate.

2.1.3.C Joint Owner Disputes. The vote for an apartment must be cast as a single vote, and fractional votes shall not be allowed. In the event that the joint owners are unable to agree among themselves as to how to cast, they shall lose their right to vote on the matter in question.

2.1.3.D Pledged Votes. In the event that the record owner or owners have pledged their vote regarding special matters to a mortgagee under a duly recorded mortgage or to the vendor under a duly recorded real estate contract, only the vote of such mortgagee or vendor will be recognized in regard to the special matters upon which the vote is so pledged, if a copy of the instrument with this pledge has been filed with the Board. Amendments to this subsection shall only be effective upon the written consent of all the voting owners and their respective mortgages and vendors, If any.
b) In the case of a vote by mail relating to any other matter, the Secretary shall give written notice to all owners of each membership which notice shall include a proposed written resolution setting forth a description of the proposed action, and shall state that such persons are entitled to vote by mail for or against such proposal and stating a date, not less than twenty (20) days after the date shall have been given on or before which all votes must be received and stating that they must be sent to the specified address of the principal office of the Association, votes received after that date shall not be effective.
