Committees
Our resident committees are dedicated to making the Del Webb Community a more beautiful and safe place for residents to enjoy.

Violation Review Committee
The Violation Review Committee, as required by F.S. 720.305(b), reviews cited violations when a fine and/or suspension has been proposed by the Board. Members cited with rules violations by the HOA Community Manager have the right to a noticed and open hearing before the Violation Review Committee. The DWO HOA Violation Review Committee will act as the Owner’s “Jury of Peers” comprised of conflict-free and eligible members selected by the Committee’s Chair. The Jury of Peers will deliberate and determine whether there has been a violation of the Association’s governing documents, rules, or restrictions. At the noticed Violation Review Committee Meeting hearing both the Management of the Association and the Owner or agents of the Owner will have the opportunity to present testimony and evidence or to explain, defend or justify their actions or inactions. The “Jury of Peers” will deliberate on all the information presented. The purpose of the “Jury of Peers” is to determine by a preponderance of the evidence and majority vote whether the violation(s) either occurred or did not occur. The findings and recommendation are documented as Committee Meeting minutes which is thereafter provided to both the Owner and the Board by mail or hand delivery as required by law. The Board at a subsequent Board Meeting may then impose penalties (including fines and/or suspension of privileges) consistent with the Committee’s findings and Florida law.
