I am not sure what you are expecting to happen. If you can't get anyone to talk there is really no recourse. You can't exactly take them in the back room and beat the tar out of them until they talk. The residents here are not teenagers that you can intimidate. I imagine the investigation going something like this:
Investigator: Did you see any trees being cut down? Resident: No. Investigator: I think you did and you better come clean. Resident: I have a tee time, gotta go. |

Let's hope the fine is mitigated which is fairly common. This is a cold case.

Further investigation of the investigator reveals he is employed at the Bridgeport gate!

Ok, I think you are splitting hairs here. Are not the amenities common areas also? However, my point does not change. The money from the amenity fees are already budgeted for other uses. It is not some big slush fund as suggested by the poster.

I think a lot could be cleared up if Ms Tutt would comment on what legal principle, agreement, or contract makes the CDD responsible to pay a fine and or mitigate, I feel quite confident that she would have a sound response.
The lack of factual comments on the issue has caused numerous conspiracy theories and rumors. That being said the community and the various CDDs should keep the issue hot by continuing to ask questions of the Police and the CDDs. Someone will eventually blab. This is not a Quixotic effort. a crime has been committed. The dollar amount of damage would probably rise to the definition of Grand Theft if it had been a robery. If the Community is responsible for a fine and mitigation, certainly we should comply. The amount is pennies in the overall scheme of things. It is the principle that is huge.

I really don't think this situation is all that complicated. (Finding a guilty party may be, but the permit issue is not.) I haven't done any research, but it appears to be nothing more than a permit violation. The permit is violated. The permittee pays the fine and then pursues any avenues available to recover any losses.
The permitting agency is not going to wait for a long, drawn out investigation before they issue the fines. To the agency, it's clear cut...there is a violation and a permittee. The permittee pays the fine regardless of who might have actually committed the acts. |

PWAC funds are used for other things. The new park near the Haciendas at Mission Hills was done with PWAC funds, I believe. And the bridge/island repair is likely being proposed for PWAC funding, again falling on the CDDs below 466. Not saying it's right, just how some things are funded.

But your example of youth vandalism doesn't seem to fit. The person or persons who did this did it for their benefit whether it was a financial opportunity or an esthetic improvement on their property to be enjoyed by them only. Vandalism is kid stuff that most outgrow. |

My concern is not $50,000 spread among many folks; it is the precedent set for anyone wanting to lawlessly cut down trees to improve their view, for example.
