6. Report of the Audit Committee • Currently, the SPIA balance sheet has “Unrestricted Board Designated” of $50,000 under Net Assets;

10. Report of Directors: a. Security and Safety (Robin Kenny)

o Gate is working very well; if anyone needs transponders, let Robin know. o There were some issues with visitors coming to the Pier; if you do not recognize them, talk

with them and ask where they are staying. o We are missing one of the nice new rocking chairs, a side table, and a flower pot. If you

know anything about these missing items, please reach out to Robin. o There was a small issue at the office in the lower Casino; it is not a play area for the kids.

Please make sure to keep your eyes open and make sure it is being used for proper purposes. o The new gate code will go into effect on Tuesday, September 3, which will be 4562#. The

old code will work for a week after the new code is in place. § Transponders know the code, so there is no need to get them updated. § If you need a new battery, you can get a replacement at a hardware store.

b. Buildings and Grounds (Rich Hendey)

o A huge thanks to Rich for serving six years on the Board. Rich was able to enjoy his summer and give back. He recommends anyone who has yet to serve on the Board to do so, as you get to know the community better and see how things operate.

o Garbage pick-up ends on October 15, 2019. The trash cans in the Casino lot will still be available.

c. Waterfront (Jon Loer) o Great season on the waterfront; there were new signs installed on the Pier. o One of the guest moorings was sold to a Meadow Shores resident this summer. o There was a huge turnout (about 40 people) for the program hosted by Andy from the Coast

Guard. We are looking into more programs like this for next season. o After Labor Day weekend, please start removing your kayaks, engines on the engine block,

beach chairs, etc. o Waterfront decommissioning will begin on September 30, 2019.

SALTERS POINT IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

d. Future Projects/President’s Report (Pete Cowie) o Breakwater Project Update

§ It would cost around $3,000 to get an order of conditions for us to have the ability to repair the breakwater. If we do so, paperwork will be in place in case we end up wanting or needing to repair the breakwater.

§ There was a motion to authorize the Board to spend up to $3,500 for the engineering work to get an order of conditions for the breakwater, with the work to be done in Fall 2020.

• A motion to approve was made and seconded, and a vote was taken and approved.

o Waterfront § At the end of the jetty where the wooden pier starts, there used to be a 30-foot “L”

that protected the dinghy dock. Similar to the breakwater, there is a permit issued, and we will be working this fall to get an order of conditions in place for restoring it.

11. Such other matters as may properly come before the meeting.

• Huge thank you to Rich Hendey, not only for his service on the Board, but also for his innovative ideas. Rich turned the Barn Apartment into a resource for Members as well as a revenue maker and had the idea of creating a shared office space in the lower Casino, which over 70 people used this summer.

o The Board started a new tradition of giving a Helly Hansen jacket to former Board members with the SPIA logo and amount of years they served on the Board.

o If anyone is interested in getting a jacket–either with years served on the Board or just the SPIA logo–let Pete Cowie know. The jackets are around $180.

• Barn Rental Report (Wendy Cowie) o The Member must request, complete the paperwork, and pay all the fees for Barn Apartment

use, as correspondence from the renters makes it too confusing for the accountants. Please provide the Barn rental dates and the Member name in order to make it easier for the accountants.

• Salters Point Art Show o The Art Show will be July 17–18, 2020. It is a two-day event. There is a reception on Friday

night at the Casino with a bartender. If anyone is interested or has family members who are interested in participating, please let Sue Ries know. It is mandatory for the artist to be present at their booth on both Friday and Saturday.

o If anyone would like their home rental availability sent out to the Membership prior to the summer 2020 season, please feel free to reach out to Amy Chappel.

• Upcoming Meetings o The next Special Meeting is scheduled for June 27, 2020 at 9:00AM. o The next Annual Meeting is scheduled for August 29, 2020 at 9:00AM.

Respectfully submitted,

Amy Chappel SPIA Secretary

OF THE SALTERS POINT IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

PREAMBLE

The Salters Point Improvement Association (the “Association”) is a nonprofit corporation organized, by charter issued on July 31, 1916, in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as a

recreational and social community comprised mainly of summer residents (the “Owners”), each of whom hold title to real estate which either abuts, or is situated within, the perimeter of the lands owned by the

Association (All lands together being known as Salters Point, hereinafter also referred to as the “Community”, and being the same lands set forth in a plan of land dated June 24, 2006, drawn by

Cullinan Engineering, entitled, “Master Plan of Salters Point” (the “Master Plan”)), all of whom, upon voluntary application, are entitled to become a voting member (the "Active Member(s)"). The

Association also has the authority to accept non-voting members (the “Special Members”) of the

Association who meet the criteria set forth in Article 1, Section 4.

The Association’s By-Laws (as defined in Article 9, Section 1), adopted by the Active Members, represent the underlying philosophy of the Association's strategy to fairly and openly manage its affairs in

a rational and feasible manner in order to meet the needs and aspirations of its Active Members and

Special Members (collectively, the “Member(s)”), now and in the future.

The By-Laws are promulgated to affirm the following purposes and goals:

1. To provide a secure and enduring environment in which to nurture family and Community

values in a spirit of collegiality and volunteerism.

2. To facilitate the health and safety needs of the Community.

3. To assure an acceptable quality of services and facilities for all current and future

Members.

4. To encourage Community involvement in identifying issues which reflect vital

Community concerns and thus provide a consistent basis for decision making.

5. To preserve the amenities and scenic beauty of the Community and to assure that current and future development or use does not degrade its natural environment or its historic

character.

6. To protect Community roads, landscapes, open spaces, historic sites and facilities, water

resources, water access, water quality, beaches, sea walls, sea barriers and piers.

7. To maintain the visual sense of existing character of the Community and to encourage construction and maintenance of housing types which are consistent with other historic

Community dwellings in respect to style, configuration, texture and color.

8. To respect the right of all Active Members to express their individual tastes, and to use any

5

new construction technology, in such manner as may be compatible with the visual sense

of existing character of the Community.

9. To commit the Association and its Active Members to respect the rights and privileges of all other Members by discouraging the installation of any structure or vegetation which is

inconsistent in appearance with existing structures or vegetation or which may substantially impair the Scenic View (as hereinafter defined in Section 5 of Article 7) of

another Active Member.

10. To ensure the financial stability of the Association by means of a fair and reasonable assessment levied upon all Members irrespective of their use and impact upon the

Association services and facilities.

11. To assure that all of its current and future Active Members have an equal and inalienable

right to acquire, possess and protect their property.

12. To assure that the administrative apparatus of the Association:

a) Functions in a coordinated fashion and has the appropriate instruments to pursue an overall management policy while remaining flexible enough to respond to future

changes in service requirements, fiscal conditions and other factors.

b) Provides every Member with recourse to a forum and a protocol in which to fairly

address and justly resolve concerns and grievances; freely, completely, promptly, and conformably to the laws of the United States of America, the Commonwealth

of Massachusetts and the Town of Dartmouth.

Wherefore, in order to achieve the purposes and goals set forth herein, the Association Members, its Officers (as described in Article 4), and its Board of Governors (the “Board”) hereby endorse

and pledge to support the following By-Laws:

Section 5. Decision of the Board. Any action taken by the Board in respect to an Application shall be in writing via mail or email and shall require the affirmative vote of at least three (3) Board

(a) Decision Criteria. In making its determination the Board shall take into consideration (in terms of health, safety and welfare) the benefit to the Applicant if the Application is

granted as weighed against the detriment to the members of the Community, either individually or collectively, which may result from such grant. In so doing, the Board

shall:

(1) Consider whether the benefit to the Applicant can be achieved by some other method feasible for the Applicant to pursue;

(2) Consider whether granting the Application will be substantially more objectionable

to the Community by reason of fumes, noise, vibration or other characteristics;

(3) Consider whether the grant of the Application will have an adverse effect or impact on the physical or environmental condition of the Community; and

(4) Attach such conditions, requirements for construction and indemnification bonds

29

naming the Association as loss payee and other safeguards to the granting of the Application as are, in its opinion, necessary to:

1. Ensure initial and continual conformance to these By-Laws; and

2. Minimize any adverse impact the grant may have on the Community.

(b) Date Due. The Board shall render its written Decision no later than forty-five (45) days

after the Application is submitted as hereinbefore required.

(c) Approval. The Board shall deliver notice of an approval to the Applicant via regular mail or email. The Application is to be deemed approved if the Applicant has not received

notice of a Decision within forty-five (45) days after it has been submitted, as hereinbefore required.

(d) Denial. Any Decision of the Board not to approve an Application, either in whole or in

part, must be accompanied by a written statement explaining the rationale upon which the Decision is based.

(e) Failure to Submit an Application. The failure of an Active Member to submit an

Application to the Board for approval prior to commencing construction shall constitute sufficient grounds to terminate the Membership for cause by the Board.

Section 6. Appeal Process. The following Decisions of the Board may be appealed for final review

and resolution at the next Annual or Special Meeting, whichever shall first occur, wherein the Decision may be either affirmed or revoked, in whole or in part, upon closed ballot cast

by a majority of only those Active Members who are actually present. The Board shall have the authority to consider and recommend the Applicant’s termination as a Member if

such Member commences or continues the work after the Decision is affirmed (See Article 2, Section 5(c)(2)):

(a) A Decision not to approve the Application, either in whole or in part;

(b) A Decision in respect to the failure of the Application to comply with the By-Laws of the

Association.

(c) A Decision in respect to the failure of the Applicant to comply with the Rules and Regulations of the Association.

Failure to comply with a Decision of the Board, which is not appealed or which is affirmed

upon Appeal, shall constitute sufficient grounds to terminate Membership for cause by the Board.

Section 7. Voluntary Application. The following persons may also file an Application, in

accordance with the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of this Article 8, for such relief as the Board may, after notice and deliberation, determine:

(a) By-Law Violations. Any Active Member who is adversely affected by the failure of

another Active Member to adhere to the provisions set forth in Articles 7 and 8.

the impaired view is a consequence of construction of or to a structure the Application must be filed within fourteen (14) days after receiving notice thereof as set forth in Section

5(a) of Article 7.

Section 8. The Board as Applicant. The provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of this Article 8 shall also pertain to Board activities in respect to Association lands except that Application for

approval shall be submitted by the Board to the Members for action at any Meeting of the Association.

Section 9. Excluded Lands. Except as otherwise described or provided for herein, the provisions of

this Article 8 shall not apply to the following Association land set forth in the Master Plan:

RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE

SALTERS POINT IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

(“SPIA”)

BY VOTE OF THE

BOARD OF GOVERNORS

Effective as of July 1, 2006

Last Updated: August 24, 2019

1

RULES AS VOTED BY THE SPIA BOARD OF GOVERNORS

1. GENERAL

Members (Active and Special and their immediate family) are encouraged to participate

in all of the activities of Salters Point and to enjoy the use of SPIA facilities whenever possible with the understanding that Active Members and family take precedence over all

other users.

A) SECURITY

1. Both the main (electronic) gate and the auxiliary (manual) gate on Mishaum Point Road are to remain closed at all times unless otherwise authorized by the Security and

Safety Director or agent.

2. The same code number operates both gates. In order to prevent unauthorized persons from easy access to Salters, all members are required to limit the dissemination of the

code to only those individuals who are:

1. Personally known to the Member; and 2. Lawfully entitled to enter Salters Point

B) TRASH COLLECTION

1) Trash and recycling are picked up weekly. Place all recyclables (newspapers, bottles,

cans, recycable plastic containers, etc.) in recycling bins to be picked up weekly, curbside.

2. ROADS AND WAYS

The roads in Salters Point are intended for low speed, careful use. These roads are old and are not designed, constructed or maintained in accordance with modern standards.

Potholes and other defects in the road services should be expected. Persons using bicycles on the roadway should be especially careful. Persons using the roadway with

minor children should carefully supervise the use. Persons using the roadway accept the risk of these, and other, potential defects.

A) THE SPEED LIMIT IS 10 MPH inside the Salters Point gates.

B) Please observe all STOP signs at designated intersections and be aware of small children on various forms of equipment.

C) Big Wheels and scooters are prohibited from the road leading to South Beach and from Buzzards Bay Avenue and Alley Street, the two steep hill roads heading to Pier

Beach, for safety reasons.

D) Go-carts are not permitted on Salters Point.

E) Only persons holding a valid license (or learners permit subject to the required supervision) permitting them to drive in Massachusetts may drive golf carts or other

motorized vehicles on Salters Point property.

2

F) Any wheeled form of transportation operating after dark must have lights and reflective materials.

3. USE OF SPIA FACILITIES (Please see most current Schedule of Fees for rates)

Use of all SPIA facilities by residents is done at the sole and exclusive risk of each individual using the same.

As a courtesy to neighbors, events held on all SPIA property, primarily at the Casino, the Green, Pier and South Beaches (including impromptu beach parties), are to conclude by midnight.

A. SUMMER ACTIVITY PROGRAM

Activities (tennis lessons, golf lessons, evening game nights, cookouts, etc.) may be

available during the months of July and August. Individuals organizing or supervising such activities are not employees of Salter’s Point Improvement Association and the

Association takes no responsibility for their actions. It is the duty of each parent and/or person acting in place of a parent to determine the suitability of the activities

for each child enrolled or participating in such events. Such participation in events is solely at the risk of the participant.

B. CASINO AND BARN APARTMENT

1) The Casino is available on a limited basis to Active and Special Members only. This unheated facility provides modest accommodations for SPIA functions and meetings

to Active and Special Members and their immediate family who may wish its private use to celebrate weddings, anniversaries, birthdays or other such festive milestone

events. The use charge includes cleaning before and after the event.

2) Permission to use the Casino must have prior written approval by the Board or the

Board’s designee.

3) Permission is also required to use the unheated Barn Apartment that may be available

on a limited basis, pursuant to the fee structure set by the Board, to provide occasional overnight accommodations to Members, their guests and/or their

immediate family.

C. TENNIS COURTS

Salters maintains two clay courts (Court 1 and Court 2), one hard court (Court 3, which

includes an automatic ball server), and one hard practice court (the Bangboard, which includes a portable basketball net and backboard). The Courts attract a large and

dedicated following of varying ages and skill levels, all hoping to use them during peak hours. The following rules are designed to accommodate all players:

1) Reservations must be made the day before play by signing up on the daily

Reservation Sheet posted each morning on the bulletin board at Court 1.

2) When players cannot use the court that they have reserved, they must immediately

CANCEL by striking their name from the reservation sheet and notifying all other successive players listed on it, or notifying the Program Director or agent.

3

3) No household may sign up for consecutive or concurrent play. No player may play consecutively.

4) Players must wear tennis shoes (flat soles). Street, jogging, or any rough sole shoes are prohibited on the clay courts. Bare feet are not allowed.

5) Players shall sweep the courts and lines the last 8-10 minutes of their play session (this includes the last session of the day). Sweeping courts not only provides fresh

court for the next group, but also has been proven to improve and keep playing conditions at their peak over the season.

6) Hang brushes on hooks provided between Courts 1 and 2 (brushes maintain their shape better when kept off the ground).

7) Players 15 and younger shall give way to adults on weekends when using Courts 1 and 2. Children may play on Court 3 when it is free.

8) CARS MUST NOT BE PARKED along the Courts or near the Golf Course but may be parked on the Commons in front of the Casino.

9) At no time may trailers or small boats be stored on, behind, or proximate to the Courts or Bangboard.

D. GOLF COURSE

All Members, their immediate family and guests are welcome to use the golf course at all times for any lawful recreational purpose. From June 1 to September 30, golfers take

precedence over all other users.

E. BARN LOT/MISHAUM LOT - STORAGE

During the “In-season” between Memorial Day and Labor Day empty boat trailers must

be stored at the Mishaum lot, except temporary storage as permitted below. The Mishaum lot has a gate that is to be locked when not in use. The combination to the lock on the

gate is 5050. Please contact the Building and Grounds Governor, or agent, for the current

Mishaum Point gate combination.

Off-season storage at the Barn for large boats and registered vehicles is available from Labor Day to Memorial Day to all Members based upon availability and pre-payment of

the prescribed Off-Season Storage fee on or before September 15th.

The following conditions will apply:

1. Payment of the off-season storage fee entitles the Member use of a space from Labor

Day until Memorial Day.

2. No such boat or vehicle may be parked or stored without the Applicant having first obtained, from the Building and Grounds Governor or agent, an assigned space

number and written permission to use the space.

3. Spaces will be assigned based upon need and may not be the same year after year.

4. During the “In-season” period (between Memorial Day and Labor Day), temporary storage will be allowed in all spaces to any Member. Temporary storage is allowed

for boats of any size, empty boat trailers, registered vehicles, trailers, RV’s, construction equipment, and any other item as approved by the Building and Grounds

4

Governor or agent.

F. WATERFRONT AND BEACHES

Swimming in the open water of Buzzards Bay is inherently dangerous, what with the unpredictable nature of surf and conditions of the shore and water’s depth. There are NO

lifeguards and NO lifesaving or medial equipment on the beach and pier at any time of the day or night. Accordingly, there can be no expectation that there will be lifesaving or

medical assistance or help of any kind available in case of emergency. Everyone using the beach and pier does so accepting the risk that the absence of such services and

equipment creates. All parents or persons acting in place of parents are responsible for the safety of minor children.

SPIA expects all those involved in any way with boating and boat speeds at Salters Point

to be familiar with, and to adhere, to the regulations of the Coast Guard and the Town of Dartmouth. The Town’s regulations may be found at:

http://www.dartmouthharbormaster.com

1) PIER BEACH

A) Only one car per household is permitted to park at the beach during the day from

June 1 to September 15.

and the breakwater.

C) Unchaperoned toddlers are not allowed on the Pier or the Floats

D) Wheeled toys, including mopeds, bikes, skateboards, etc., are not permitted on the Pier or the Floats.

2). DINGHY FLOAT DOCKS AND PERSONAL WATERCRAFT

A) Dinghy Float Docks (the “Floats”) are for boats up to 12 feet overall. Longer boats

must be kept on a mooring or on the beach.

B) Longer boats are to be kept on the north side of the Floats; short ones may use the

south side. There must be a channel wide enough for passage of boats between the

5

concrete walkway and the boats moored to the south side of the Floats.

C) No boats are to be stored on any part of the Floats.

D) Each boat must be marked with the owner’s name so that it can be read from the Floats, and must have a SPIA boat sticker. This helps notification of an owner in the

event of a problem involving their dinghy.

E) With the present configuration of the Floats, there is currently space for all the

dinghies in use. Should an owner be away for a month or more, they must inform the Waterfront Director or agent so that, if the floats become crowded, the dinghy may be

removed from the Floats while the owner is away.

F) Dinghies are to be secured so as to lie perpendicular to the Floats. Both bow and

stern are to be tied. A short bow-line should be tied to the Floats and one of the permanent anchor lines should be attached to the stern with a short line. The permanent

anchor line remains tied to the Floats so that it is easy to pick up. A loop may be tied in the permanent anchor line to which a stern line can be clipped.

G) Any personal watercraft stored on Pier Beach must be clearly identified with the owner’s name and have a SPIA boat sticker.

3) SOUTH BEACH

A) Open fires are not permitted without first notifying the District No.1 Dartmouth Fire Department at the non-emergency 24-hour reporting number 508-996-1596. If

you plan to have an open fire on South Beach you must also notify a Governor.

B) No water skiing or tubing within 150 feet of the beach.

C) No motorized vehicles of any kind are permitted to drive on the beach or along the barrier.

D) No parking or storage of trailers of any kind is permitted at South Beach.

5. SAFETY

Because safety is everyone’s responsibility, it is expected that all persons will exercise

mature judgment and prudence whenever they use the SPIA facilities.

To help enforce the following Rules, the Board may forbid the use of any SPIA facility to

anyone who disobeys them.

Parents are solely responsible for overseeing their children’s activities and for informing

them of the Safety Rules.

6) If a dog is found to be at large, and/or in such prohibited places, or is barking incessantly during its owner’s absence, its owner or custodian shall, on being

notified by anyone, secure and return their pet to their household and/or take steps to minimize the barking. Continued infractions may result in the owner being asked by

the Board to remove the pet from the Point property.

7) If and when any dog bites any person within the confines of Salters Point, it shall be

the duty of both the dog’s owner and the victim (or such person’s parent or guardian) or any witness to immediately report such event to:

Safety and Security.

B) Use of DRONES

The use of drones is prohibited on the grounds of Salters Point at all times between May 1 and November 1. Should a Member wish to use a drone to photograph a special event

(wedding, etc.) or to take pictures of their own house, the Member must make request, in writing, to the Board of Governors prior to a scheduled Board Meeting, indicating the
