Section 4: Association Membership;
Rights And Obligations
Membership in the Association, and the allocation to each Unit of a portion of the votes in the Association and a portion of the Common Expenses of the Association shall be governed by the following provisions:
- Membership. Each Owner shall be a member of the Association by virtue of Unit ownership, and the membership shall be transferred with the conveyance of the Owner's interest in the Unit. An Owner=s membership shall terminate when the Owner=s ownership terminates. When more than one Person is an Owner of a Unit, all such Persons shall be members of the Association, but multiple ownership of a Unit shall not increase the voting rights allocated to such Unit nor authorize the division of the voting rights.
- Voting and Common Expenses. Voting rights and Common Expense obligations are allocated equally among the Units; except that special allocations of Common Expenses shall be permitted as provided in Section 6.1.
- Appurtenant Rights and Obligations. The ownership of a Unit shall include the voting rights and Common Expense obligations described in Section 4.2. Said rights, obligations and interests, and the title to the Units, shall not be separated or conveyed separately. The allocation of the rights, obligations and interests described in this Section may not be changed, except in accordance with the Governing Documents and the Act.
- Authority to Vote. The Owner, or some natural person designated to act as proxy on behalf of the Owner, and who need not be an Owner, may cast the vote allocated to such Unit at meetings of the Association; provided, that if there are multiple Owners of a Unit, only the Owner or other Person designated pursuant to the provisions of the By Laws may cast such vote. The voting rights of Owners are more fully described in Section 3 of the By Laws.
