(CEC) Covenant Enforcement Committee

The MPOA Covenant Enforcement Committee (CEC) functions as the "appeals court" for MPOA fining hearings. All Association members have agreed to live by Waterlefe's Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements (CRE's) and the policies and procedures, rules and regulations that enable the association to enforce those covenants. The MPOA Board of Directors is authorized to levy fines for non-compliance, but must adhere to all Florida Statutes and our own CRE's. The Fining Hearings are held prior to montly Board Meetings with proper homeowner notice. The CEC must confirm or deny that fine in a seperate hearing. All homeowners have the statutory right to a CEC hearing. The committee is made up of 3 volunteer homeowners.

(CT) Covenant Team

The Waterlefe Covenant Team is responsible for the review and editing of the official Waterlefe Declaration of Covenants. After 20 years in effect, Association leadership recognized the importance of making changes to reflect the community as it stands today and to remove language that was initially put in place by the developers.

(FC) Finance Committee

The MPOA Finance Committee provides financial oversight for Waterlefe MPOA, a not-for-profit corporation, and advises the Board on appropriate fiscal actions. Its responsibilities include long-range planning, monitoring internal controls, reviewing financial reports, and ensuring budget compliance, legal adherence, and risk protection.

The Committee collaborates with the Board and other committees to interpret financial data and support sound decision-making. While the full Board holds fiduciary responsibility, the Finance Committee serves as its financial steward.

Each year, the Committee helps develop the operating budget with staff and Board members. Monthly, it forecasts cash flow to ensure adequate operating capital and reserve contributions. It also reviews audit findings and tracks any required follow-up.

The Finance Committee meets at 10 AM on the third Tuesday of the month unless otherwise noted.

(MRC) Member Relations Committee

The goal of the Member Relations Committee is to make certain that its membership is engaged, and resident participation and engagement is increased. Therefore, through a strategic understanding of member demographics, programming, and usage statistics, the Member Relations Committee will drive revenue, experience, and enjoyment by championing the engagement and retention of the overall Member "Club Life".

(RCC) River Club Committee

Along with management, this committee will study usage trends and remain responsive in order to successfully address community expectations and maximize resources. Scope of recommendations to the Board will include dining, fitness, recreation and social membership programs.
