This is so typical of the way things are done here. Drop the hammer with no notice then deny that anyone knows anything about the matter...think 'Berlin wall'. Changes were made under cover of darkness, then nobody would take responsibility for the action.
BTW: I feel sorry for the neighborhood watch fellows who have the job of informing residents they are breaking the law that nobody knew existed.

The views and opinions and spoken words of the help are not always the views of the management. (Neighborhood watch)
If they put everything up for debate they would have 100 thousand very opinionated responses. I don't blame them for not telling people what they are going to do ahead of time.
It isn't that either time any awful thing happened from it after all was said and done. The gate was there to establish a precedent before negotiations with Fruitland Park, or we could have had a LOT more golf cart traffic. They did put up a sign prior, yes a day or two before, but it ended well. I don't suppose they could have conjured up a gate and had it in in time to go to the negotiations and kept Fruitland Park from saying that the borders weren't secure...that ultimately made this a better place for us all.
