ENFORCEMENT

Generally
Each party to these Protective Covenants shall comply with the provisions of this agreement, their lease, deed or purchase agreement, decisions and resolutions of the Port or the Port's representatives. Failure to comply with any provisions, decisions, or resolutions may be grounds for an action to recover sums due, for damages, for injunctive or any appropriate relief.

Corrective Action
Failure to adhere to these Protective Covenants, as herein adopted and as may otherwise be amended, shall result in corrective action. The enforcement of these Protective Covenants shall be the responsibility for the Port. Any corrective action or enforcement of these Covenants shall adhere to the following procedures:

Notice
Notice shall be forwarded in writing from the Port. Notice shall specify the deficiency, omission or violation and set forth what, if any, corrective action needs to be taken and the time frame for such action. Said notice will be sent by regular and certified mail.

Corrective action
The parities shall have thirty (30) days to correct the identified deficiency, omission or violation set forth in the notice letter unless the notice letter provides a different specified period of time for such corrective action.

Failure to take corrective action
If a party fails to take corrective action within the time frame set forth, the Port may declare the party in default and pursue default remedies or, in the alternative, the Port may correct such deficiency, omission or violation and charge the party its actual costs for such corrective action.

If a party fails to pay the cost of corrective action or if it fails to perform any other act on its part and covenant herein to be performed by it, then the Port may, but shall not be obligated to do so, and with proper notice of demand upon such party, perform the acts so omitted or not performed by the party. If such performance shall constitute, either in whole or in part, the payment of monies, such money so paid together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve (12) percent per annum and reasonable attorney's fees incurred shall be deemed payable.

Appeal Process
An aggrieved party may appeal from a notice of deficiency, omission or violation. The party shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives written notice to file a written appeal with the Port. The said appeal will specifically set forth the reasons why the party is of the belief it is not in violation of these covenants.

The Port shall review the appeal and make a decision concerning the appeal within thirty (30) days of receipt of the appeal.

An aggrieved party may request a hearing before the Port, provided the request is in writing and accompanies the notice of appeal.

A decision from the Port is final. This process shall not preclude an aggrieved party from seeking other appropriate legal remedies.
