Five children were witnessed and photographed purposely damaging community property, a common area fence, which they broke. Three of the families live in Taralon and an attempt to contact them was made. Damage to common area property is unacceptable and the Board agreed that the parties who damaged the property should have to pay to have the property repaired.

To change any rules in the CCR’s, it would require a majority vote of the neighborhood, plus all attorney fees.
