Covenants Enforcement Committee-Chair: Dennis Hiu-3rd Wednesday on odd months at 6:30 pm
Working through the NECA Executive Director and Covenants Inspector, the Covenant Enforcement Committee is responsible for enforcing the restrictions for the Newtown Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (MDCCR). The enforcement helps to improve the aesthetics of the community and prevents "eyesore" areas from becoming commonplace. Fortunately, most violations are the result of being unaware of specific covenants or rules. A friendly call or letter usually results in cooperation from he homeowner in violation. However, a few serious violations have required that the committee recommend legal action be taken against homeowners who refuse to comply with the governing documents of the Association. Legal action is taken only after all other means of resolving the violation have been exhausted.
The Covenant Enforcement Committee also works jointly with the Architectural Committee by ensuring that the Architectural Committee Rules and Guidelines are being followed. In September 1990, the Covenant Enforcement Committee implemented a penalty fine system for violations of the MDCCR which the Board of Directors subsequently adopted. The purpose of the penalty fine is to discourage violations and penalize homeowner who refuse to abate their cited violation or who continues to repeat the same violation(s).

The Program Committee arranges an annual "master calendar of events" to avoid conflicts in scheduling and the use of the facilities. This committee encourages resident participation at the planning level to establish a well-rounded program for the Association members.
ASSOCIATION-SPONSORED PROGRAMS: These are programs/classes conducted by instructors and independent contractors (fee-for-service) without direct supervision by any of the NECA professional staff. Fee-for-service programs/classes pay a percentage of their gross revenue to NECA to off-set some of the Association's operational expenses. However, the primary liability for the program rests with the independent contractor or the instructor.
