Just making the rounds that Judge Joseph De Vanon ordered the La Vina Homeowner's Association to pay the county's legal tab of $783,944 in attorney's fees. La Vina HOA has been involved in extensive litigation to keep promised access trails closed around the gated community. The court recently said that the trails must be opened, altho' La Vina has filed an appeal.
A hearing was held on the legal bill Sept. 18, and De Vanon announced his decision Sept. 26. L Vina maintained that the bill should be nothing, or at most $460,000.
