Board of Directors Election Timeline 2025

As announced in last week's mailing, we’ve recently seen some graffiti pop up around the neighborhood—mostly on sidewalks and a few signs. It may be the result of some mischief, possibly by local kids, but we’re taking it seriously and have reported it to the Carbondale Police Department, who are actively investigating. In response, the police have also increased patrols in the neighborhood to help deter further incidents and support the investigation.

If you notice anything out of the ordinary or have information that might help, please feel free to contact the Carbondale PD at (970) 963-2662. Thanks for helping us look out for one another!

Each membership may check in up to 8 guests per day.

The daily guest fee is $9.00 for adults and $7.00 for children. Read more about the guest policy in the Rules and Regulations document by clicking here (pg.4).
