Caplan recalls Alek Skarlatos as a well-mannered boy and brave friend
Hero Caplan remembers Alek Skarlatos as a well-behaved boy who grew up with friend Stone at the Hansen home.

Dennis defends the CC&R parcel tax as essential for community design review while noting the grand jury found funds used beyond CC&R enforcement. The CSD collected about 146600 from a 10 per parcel tax and spent 138600 on CC&R enforcement this fiscal year.

CSD considers CC&R enforcement cost reimbursement debate
Dennis notes HOAs often run CC R enforcement via volunteers and warns the district cannot compensate unknown HOA expenses. He questions what Serrano residents pay through fees and says the report focuses on the district, not on HOA costs or volunteer reliance. A voter referendum to modify or repeal the tax is deemed premature without community feedback.
