the county or a fine against the owner. The consensus of the board is toinstitute a process that might include: notifying the owner verbally, issuing a

written warning to the owner, calling the county authorities to have the animal

seized, initiating a law suit to have the owner prosecuted (last resort). Thispolicy is deemed necessary to protect the association as well as property

owners.g. Maintenance Projects: Front entrance landscaping is underway. Work on the
