MEMO
RE: AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS OF
MARINER HOUSE CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
The land, building and aII structures and improvements located at 30 Centre Street Nantucket
Massachusetts was originally submitted to the provisions of the General Laws of Massachusetts.
Chapter l 83A, under a Master Deed dated July 29. 1981. recorded at the Nantucket Registry of
Deeds on August 10, 198L in Book 184. Page 219. with annexed exhibits including a Legal
Description, a Description of Units. and Rules and Regulations for the condominium know11 as
the Mariner House. Recorded together with the Master Deed and exhibits were instruments
entitled Declaration ofCovemmts and Restrictions, Bylaws, and Interval Ownership and
Management Contract.
The Master Deed established the six (6) condominium units and provided the designation and
description for the condominium units and common areas and facilities of the Mariner House and
the undivided interest of the respective unit owners in the common areas and facilities. The
Master Deed further provided that each condominium unit was to be conveyed in twenty-four
(24) separate and distinct units of ownership with each unit referred to as an Interval.
The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions contained provisions relating to the separate unit
Interval ownership, the use, occupancy and conveyance of an lntervaL organization of Interval
owners as members of the Mariner House Condominium Association, governing Board and
Officers of the Association. meetings budgets, common charges, maintenance and management
of the Mariner House. The Dclaration expired by its terms on January l, 2011.
The Bylaws similarly contained provisions as to the organization of lnterval owners under the
Master Deed, creation of the Mariner House Condominium Association, the rules and regulations
governing the Association with terms regarding membership. responsibilities, power and
authority of Board Otlicers, Property Management, Interval Unit Owners, assessment and
payment of common charges. restrictions as to use, occupancy, conveyance and right of access to
the separate units and common areas and facilities. approval of alterations, additions and
improvements and allocation of costs and insurance proceeds for repairs, damage restoration and
general maintenance ofthe units and common areas and facilities. and other provisions and terms
as to meetings. notices, etc.
The original Bylaws were subsequently amended by vote of the Association unit owners on
October 29. 2005, November 16. 2010. and again on December 13, 2014, as more particularly
shown on the Amended and Restated Bylaws accompanying this Memo. The multiple and often
times redundant provisions set forth in the original Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions
and the original Bylaws. as amended from time to time. became problematic and challenging to
the Association in the governance of the Mariner House.
The purpose and intent of the Amended and Restated Bylaws was for ease of reference and
benefit of clear understanding with one recorded instrument that supersedes the original Bylaws
and subsequent recorded amendments. and incorporates the Mariner House rules, regulations and
restrictions. the organization and operation of the Mariner House Condominium Association,
board managers and management authority. rights and responsibilities. and the rights. obligations
and responsibilities of the Interval unit owners.

Air Conditioning – Ranelle Brew had raised the issue of installing central air at Mariner House at
the 2019 meeting. Bill Steadman was charged with researching this issue. It was noted that the
current electrical draw is becoming an issue, but the system is sufficient for present needs.
Estimated cost to install air conditioning is $ 100,000, with an additional $ 50,000 for carpentry and
upgrades to the current system to handle the additional load. Nantucket has become warmer and
more humid.
Issues include:
ID Age of building
ID Limited access for equipment
• Requirements for 6 separate systems
• Electrical upgrade needed for portable units
• HOC approval for new electrical access point
Foreclosures – Three intervals are currently in foreclosure. Because of Covid, there is a
moratorium on foreclosures; therefore, no progress.

evaluated pros and cons of the proposed program. After such evaluation, it was determined that the
program was not in the best interest of Mariner House or its owners.

Dorrett Taylor Moncrieffe
March 6, 1963-April 6, 2021
We lost Dorrett Moncrieffe from complications of Covid on April 6, 2021. Dorrett had worked at
Mariner House for over 20 years. Her passing was a huge loss. Dorrett managed the laundry and the
Friday cleaning. She personally knew many owners. I am sure many of you remember her cheerful
disposition and her amazing smile! She was very talented and was a skilled upholsterer and seamstress.
She is responsible for creating many of the upholstered chairs, slipcovers, bedding and curtains over the
years that decorate Mariner House. She was also a minister of her church, New Life Ministries. Dorrett
had a big heart and continually helped her congregation and those in need. She leaves behind three
daughters, one son, numerous grandchildren and many friends.

RJLyerly
4786 Old Dominion Drive
Arlington VA 22207
RJ Lyerly is a federal government affairs representative representing the County of Los Angeles,
the largest urban county in the Nation with a population exceeding ten million residents. She is
married to Chip Lyerly, and they are parents to five adult children. They are also property
owners in various locations to include Arlingto~ VA, Rehoboth Beach, DE and various interval
ownerships in Vail, Co and Hilton Head, SC.
Professionally, RJ has been in government service since 1977 when she started her career as a
staff assistant in the US House of Representatives. Since that time, she transitioned into federal
advocacy mostly on behalf of local governments in California. In 2016 she accepted a position
as the chief in-house advocate, to run the federal team for the County of Los Angeles; a County
she represented as a federal consultant for over 16 years.
RJ has five adult children with her husband “Chip” and her oldest daughter, Carrington Lyerly is
also a unit owner of the Mariner House. She hopes that all her children will come to appreciate
the benefits of ownership at Mariner House as weli.
In the way of background, RJ and her parents and siblings immigrated to the United States from
Italy, when she was a child. She moved to Washington, DC out of high school, because she was
offered a position to work in the United States Capitol as a staff assistant to a Member of
Congress. Over the years, she earned a bachelors and master’s degree while working and
supporting herself RJ was able to advance her economic situation, from very, very low income,
through education and by purchasing and renovating properties. While this work was not always
pleasant, particularly when balancing it against a full-time job and school, the combined efforts
brought financial stability, respect for hard work, and an understanding of what it takes to
manage and maintain real estate.
RJ Lyerly is putting herself forward as a candidate for the Mariner House Board, because she
respects and appreciates the historic importance of the Mariner House and seeks to collaborate
with other owners to protect their mutual investment, while benefiting from all the joy and
beauty being in Nantucket brings to our lives.
