By implication you are implying that we pay for this out of our amenity fee, but this is wrong. All decorations (and entertainment) at the town squares are paid for by the developer.

I agree with those who think the sheriff should have a higher presence at LSL. He appears to have jurisdiction since he did show up to clear the streets of Old Camp road when the crowd at Red Sauce overflowed into the street.

For this particular situation Community Watch should have called the police. While CW has no police power to do anything more than what they did, as representaives of the developer I think they should have called the police. The fact that they didn't is not a good testiment of their value. If I were the developer I would question my funding of them for patrolling the town squares.
