-          Rental Director Alsobrook reported 82 active rentals, with the majority of them being long term rentals.  There are 10 vacant houses that have had no activity.  Her attempts to contact the owners of all the rental homes and vacant homes has rendered some information, but many times her phone calls and messages are ignored.  She reported there was a rental scam in the park that was identified right away.  Someone was posting cheap rental on a property that was recently vacated, but IT WAS NOT THEIR PROPERTY.  If you see something, say something.  She is endeavoring to get owners of the rentals to communicate better with the Civic Association.
