Community Services District Security officers routinely check out the privately owned field behind the Country Store for parked cars that indicate people are trespassing to fish in the river. “We roust them fairly regularly,” said Security Chief Greg Remson. But when Security Patrol Officer Mike Fuentes reached the levee one recent dinnertime, he didn’t see anyone fishing. Instead, two hunters were dressing a deer on the river bank. “You can only hunt deer in certain areas, and a county park in Rancho Murieta is not one of them,” Remson said. The deer had been shot.

Pumpkins were smashed on the North and South and there were a couple calls about parties, but Halloween was "pretty quiet all in all," said Security Chief Greg Remson Monday morning.

Incidents reported in the security logs from Friday into the early hours of  Sunday included "a handful" of complaints about smashed pumpkins. "Sometimes they do  quite a bit of damage on the Halloween decorations," he said.

It wasn't entirely routine, however. "We had a car driving down the South throwing  pumpkins out of the sunroof. That's something new," Remson said. Read more » about Security reports minor Halloween vandalism

The Rancho Murieta Association board voted Tuesday night to go into budgeting for 2010 with an alternative budget for cable -- one that moves cable maintenance and operations funding into a separate document.  The board also addressed the idea of holding real estate open houses on Saturdays and the question of Security's powers and a Security memo from earlier in the year that apparently orders the department's officers to not respond to requests from the sheriff's department.
