The city may levy fines against the Association for ignoring the above prohibitions. Nothing should be left outside the dumpsters. This means furniture, boxes, etc.

WATER USE

Northern Manor West is billed monthly by the City of Glendale for the water used. Billing is included in the monthly maintenance fee paid by each homeowner. You may use all the water necessary, but the Association asks that waste be kept at a minimum. Lawns, trees and shrubs found outside of the unit and patio areas should not be watered by residents.

In addition, Association charges may be levied to recover costs. You are requested to walk your pets off the premises and to clean up any mess made. Those who do not fulfill such responsibilities are subject to charges, if such action continues. A letter will be sent and a fine will be levied.

ROOFS

The roofs at Northern Manor West belong to the Association and are not the responsibility of the
homeowner. It is the responsibility of each resident to:

1) Report any roof leaks promptly to the Management Company

2) Be cooperative during repairs

It should also be policy to allow no one except authorized repair persons on the roof at any time. Children should never be allowed to climb onto the roofs.

CHILDREN

Northern Manor West was designed for both adult and family living. As with most complexes in Glendale, a majority of the damage inflicted upon the grounds is done by children who are curious or a bit "devilish". Every parent is expected to teach their children to respect the grounds and to help keep the complex in good shape. Over the past years, one of the major avoidable expenses has been the cost of fixing items that minors have mischievously destroyed. The Association requests the assistance of each parent and each resident.

MISCHIEVOUS ACTS OF VANDALISM

Repairs necessitated by such acts must be paid for from Association funds, either directly or through increased Association fees. Any person observed damaging property at Northern Manor West will be billed for the expense of repair.

A reward is offered for information that leads to recovery of expenses attributed to vandalism.

Adult residents are responsible for damage done by their children, their guests, their children''s guests.

MISCELLANEOUS DAMAGES
