Since most people who live in the Villages has probably crossed that bridge as many or more times than the people in the Districts chosen to pay for the repair cost, I don't understand how they decided who would have to pay. I think if any Villagers have to pay for these 2 costs, then all Villagers should have to pay for both. I realize that spread out, it might not seem a problem to some, but it is just the priniciple of the thing. The first issue should not have to be paid by the residents for the actions of a few. I agree with the poster who said that the Villages/? should make the 4 residents pay for the trees. When one of them thinks they are going to have to pay out big money, it might not be so important to keep a pact. Then, I certainly think that the bridge/island issue should be spread out amonst all the residents. There are plenty of people who may not have lived here a month that are going to have to pay, and then those who have lived here for years and have used the bridge maybe daily, who don't have to pay. Just doesn't seem right. This is my opinion. Just for curosity, if anyone responds negativly to this post, please also share if you live above or below 466.

They are going to pay for the fine. I would guess if
they find out something later
they will lower the boom.
But now the district is going to pay the fine leveled by the folks who have authority over protected trees whatever their name is..St John's River is what I thought it was called.
Substitute the word TOWN for district. It is the way things work everyplace.
I think sometime....someone is gonna find out the truth. Someone is going to tell on the landscapers who were hired to do it.
If you want to see a visual about where the trees were and where this happened. Go to sumterpa.com and type in the name of the street. Click on one of the addresses and you can see a map of the area and the little islands just behind some of the homes on Lake Miona. It enlarges.
It will keep us all busy while we fume.
So far in the eight years that I have lived here
THEY have set aside money for things like this and no extra charges have ever personally hit anyone in the form of a bill like in other places where they charge you for painting the bocce courts or something like that with an assessment. The district will pay and the district has probably held funds for these purposes.
