Our Current by-laws Section 11.4 define a guest as:

11.4. Guest Definition

The term “guest” as used herein shall include any persons visiting the Community on a temporary basis with the permission of a Member, or lawful tenant of a Lot who does not occupy the same for longer than two weeks in any one year, including the family and guests of such tenant.

11.1. Right to Use Facilities

No person except a Member of the Association, the family of such Member, and/or the Member’s guests shall use any facilities owned, leased, or contracted for by the Association for any purpose whatsoever. Since a Lot may be owned by a corporation, partnership, marital community, limited liability company, trust or other legal entity involving or comprising multiple persons, any director, officer, partner in, or trustee of any such entity may be deemed the Member for purposes of this section.

Our current 2022 Rules and Regulations restricts ammenity usage to members and guests accompanied by members.

Scenario 1) What if a neighbor member has a group of friends that rent my cabin for the weekend. This happens quite often. Can that neighbor member accompany my guests with my wristbands in the usage of Snowline Amenities like the courts and pool?

Scenario 2) If I provide my wristbands and keys to my guests (including renters), can they be accompanied in the use of Snowline Amenities if they are accompanied by one of the 6 designees of Dan Graham who opperates Mount Baker Lodging who is also a member if I'm not mistaken?

Snowline Board, Are these two scenarios allowed?

I ask these questions to prime the pump a bit for discussion at the special meeting on September 13. I generally think that our current Rules and Regulations are in conflict with our current 2019 ( or 1991) By-Laws regarding facility usage. I see the proposed changes to the By-Laws eliminating renters from the definition of a guest as a legal fix to correct the conflict between the current By-Laws and Rules and Regulations. R&R's cannot supercede By-Laws. I don't see the need to change the definition of guests in our By-Laws to eliminate renters as legal guests from using Snowline Facilities. Of course the overall membership can make the decision to change the By-Laws, but I am really hoping we don't go down the path of Baker Rim. The openness of our community is precisely why we bought here eight years ago.
