CLUBHOUSE RULES

The Monticello Clubhouse Facility, hereinafter referred to as the “Clubhouse,” is defined as the community building at 150 Valley Forge, Costa Mesa, California, except for the office, supply and storage rooms. The pools and patio areas are not part of the Clubhouse facility and may not be used by persons attending a function at the Clubhouse.

Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Monticello Community Association, an owner may reserve the Clubhouse for use except that when the owner has leased or rented his unit, his eligibility to reserve the Clubhouse for private purposes passes to the tenant-in-possession of his unit.

THE CLUBHOUSE MAY BE USED FOR:

1. Community oriented functions sponsored by the Board of Directors which are primarily for the residents of the Monticello Community; and
2. Private functions such as birthdays, weddings, parties, etc. Events may not be open to the general public. No commercial/money-making events may be held.

RESERVATION REQUESTS:

The Clubhouse must be reserved at least two (2) weeks in advance. A resident owner or tenant-in- possession may reserve the Clubhouse for a function by completing a Clubhouse Rental

Agreement and submitting the form together with the basic use fee and security deposit to the property management company for approval. Requests submitted by a tenant-in-possession must also include the approval of the owner of his unit who will be held jointly responsible for the conduct of the guests at the function and, subsequently, the condition of the Clubhouse.

All reservations shall be deemed tentative until the use fees and the deposit have been paid and the request approved in writing by the property management company.

RESERVATIONS FOR USE OF THE CLUBHOUSE WILL BE HONORED ON A FIRST- COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS.

Requests for use more than six months in advance will not be accepted.

2. Alcoholic beverages or illegal drug use are not permitted in the Clubhouse.
3. Only homeowners may reserve the Clubhouse unless the Clubhouse Rental Agreement is
   signed by both the homeowner and the tenant. The person requesting use of the Clubhouse must be in attendance as the host of the function for which use was approved. He or she shall be responsible for the conduct of their guests at the function with regard to noise, parking, pool abuse, and any disturbances or property damage, etc. Violation of this rule will result in a fine against the owner, after notice and hearing.

10. The Clubhouse is cleaned, on occasion, by the Association’s janitorial service. Cleaning is NOT DONE JUST PRIOR TO RENTALS. Every effort is made to ensure that the Clubhouse is in good condition, however, the Clubhouse Renter agrees to an “as is” condition.
