During a recent government meeting, community members raised significant concerns regarding local governance and community standards.

Nick Madero, a resident of West Alta Hacienda Drive, brought attention to potential ethical issues involving a board member's undisclosed relationship with a requester related to track 317. Madero expressed his worries about the board member's failure to disclose this connection prior to discussions and urged the board to consider filing an ethics complaint or requesting the board member's resignation. He emphasized the importance of transparency in decision-making processes.

Joe Bennett, living near track 317, voiced his frustrations over ineffective signage meant to restrict access to the area. He noted that previous signs had been removed and that despite his efforts to communicate with local authorities, issues such as illegal dumping and unauthorized vehicle access persist. Bennett highlighted the need for better enforcement and community safety measures.

Diane Beja questioned the ownership of track 317, suggesting that if it is privately owned, any actions taken by the board could set a concerning precedent for other open areas. She called for open discussions and community input before any decisions are made, expressing skepticism about the effectiveness and cost of proposed measures.

In a more positive note, Jennifer McDonald from Ked Above Construction and Design expressed gratitude for the board's efforts in organizing community events, particularly the concert series. She noted the visibility and marketing benefits for her company and committed to continuing sponsorship. However, she also highlighted the need for better support for food vendors at free events to ensure their viability.

Lastly, Melvin Manrose raised concerns about the increasing presence of businesses operating in residential areas, including heavy equipment and junk vehicles. He called for stricter enforcement of zoning regulations to maintain the rural character of the community.

The discussions reflect a community grappling with ethical governance, public safety, and the balance between residential living and local business operations.
