Memorandum of Understanding
As described in the Condominium Documents, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between
Orange County and the Town of Carrboro will provide additional details about the operation of the
Drakeford Library Complex. A version of the MOU was provided to the Board of Commissioners

at a later date to both governing boards for final approval.

services valued by our community, beyond those required by law, in an equitable,

common expenses, capital improvements, maintenance, reconstruction and/or
repair directly to vendors and other providers rather than assessments paid to the

providers by each Unit Owner is in accordance with Article III, Section 2(b).
Except as provided in Section 2 of this Article IV, the liability of each Unit
Owner for the Common Expenses of the Association shall be in accordance with

the intent to allow the Association to accrue interest at the highest amount
permissible under the law. The Association may bring an action at law against
the Unit Owner, or foreclose the lien against the Property. Fees (including
attorneys' fees), charges, late charges, fines, and interest are also enforceable as
assessments. Each such assessment, together with interest, costs, and reasonable

lien of any first mortgage and ad valorem taxes. Sale or transfer of any Unit
shall not affect the assessment lien. The sale or transfer of any Unit pursuant to
mortgage or tax foreclosure or any proceeding in lieu thereof, however, shall
extinguish the lien of such assessments as to payments which became due prior
to such sale or transfer unless the assessment lien is a priority under North
Carolina law and entitled to priority payment as part of the foreclosure
proceeding. No sale or transfer shall relieve such Unit from liability for any
assessments thereafter becoming due or from the lien thereof.

promote the recreation, health, safety and welfare of the Unit Owners, its
