Public Comments: Residents Sue Love and Millie Donjarcio (sp) spoke in regards to being long time residents and having noticed recently that there have been more dogs off leash and running loose. They feel that fences should be higher to contain and that something should be posted for awareness.

She suggested that maybe the Vedette could put reminders on code enforcement in the weekly issues.
