5 THE BOARD AND THE ASSOCIATION THE BOARD A condominium is a group of living units established under Ohio Revised Code Section 5311 and organized around a common plan of governance as set forth in the Declaration and Bylaws as amended. The Board of Directors, delegated by Ohio law and the Association Bylaws, is responsible for the operations and management of the Common Elements of the community and the Association affairs.

It is the duty of each Unit Owner to become familiar with the Declaration and Bylaws. PURPOSE OF RULES AND REGULATIONS AND THEIR MODIFICATION The purpose of the rules and regulations of the Willows at Quail Creek is to establish rules that will preserve our asset (the community), control operating and maintenance costs, and provide for a harmonious living environment for all residents. The Condominium industry recognized that a source of a condominium s resale value lies in the well kept and uniform appearance of the entire community and it is to this end that your Board, pursuant to the Declaration and Bylaws, adopted many of the rules and regulations. The Board may amend the rules and regulations from time to time, as conditions change. Such change will prompt a revision page or pages, to this handbook that will issued to each Unit Owner.
