This situation had thepotential to escalate further, posing risks toadditional residents and their properties.The board of directors has decided to take proactivemeasures to enhance our community's security. Thefirst step taken was contacting the Collier CountySheriff's Department to request heightened patrolsin our community. As a result, there will be anincreased presence of police officers patrolling ourneighborhood at no additional cost. Secondly, we aim to ensure that the community isinformed and involved in our efforts. Therefore, webelieve it is essential for you, as an owner, to have asay in this matter.

There are many children in the area, andeven a moment of inattention could lead to an accident. For theirsafety, and the safety of all those in the community, please go thespeed limit.ILLEGAL PARKING: Additionally, parking on the streets is notpermissible. The board of directors acknowledges that parking is anissue, but it is essential to follow the rules and regulations. If your cargets towed, it will cost $500 to retrieve it. To avoid this inconvenience,you can park at the clubhouse for free during the day. We haveincreased patrols with the tow company due to non-compliance withparking rules, so please be respectful so you can avoid any penalty fees.PET WASTE: Concerning pet-related matters, we kindly request that allpet owners clean up after their dogs.
