I understand step 4 to mean the Association advises the Responsible Party that it may go to judicial action if the violation continues beyond the Second Notice compliance period and not wait for the hearing/non-hearing process to be completed. I don't believe that judicial action can be seen as a penalty or sanction under 11B-111.10.

As I indicated, my guess is that the Association will not start with judicial action and try to get compliance through the internal process. The issue involves political speech and not simply whether an owner is maintaining his property or making improvements without approval.

You might want to ask the Association or Bruce Bright to explain the options, if any, the Association has in pursuing this matter. Has any action been initiated under M-01 or otherwise?
