Residents Appeals/Concerns/Discussion

Received one concern from a resident on Bentley Hall regarding people trespassing on her property. The resident has erected a fence, but people are still pushing out planks and climbing over the fence from the neighborhood located behind her home. The Board suggested the resident could contact the parents of the teens or contact the JC Police Department and file trespassing charges. A note will be place in the next newsletter regarding this matter.
