In an official statement released on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, the Indian Creek Village Council has publicly cut ties with an unauthorized, corrupt land distribution scheme that has roiled the small community, placing full blame for the irregular activity directly on the village Alcalde and his affiliated supporters.
The council made clear in its strongly worded release that it had no involvement whatsoever in the controversial actions at the center of the dispute: the unauthorized marking of new survey lines and the distribution of unofficial land certificates that are now circulating among community members. Labeling the Alcalde-led actions as lawless and entirely invalid, the council added that the episode represents a significant embarrassment to all local governing institutions.
Beyond the basic illegality of the scheme, the council highlighted a series of particularly alarming violations of local land regulations. According to the council’s findings, the unauthorized land distribution has allocated plots to a range of ineligible recipients, including non-residents of Indian Creek, individuals who already hold legal title to land within the village, and even minor children. These allocations directly contradict established village land use mandates, the council confirmed, and have already eroded public trust in local land governance.
The council also moved to dismiss any claims that the unapproved scheme had legal backing. It emphasized that neither local Justices of the Peace nor the 2015 CCJ Consent Order – a existing legal framework for land management in the area – grant any authority for this type of ad-hoc land allocation.
For years, the council noted, it has worked in good faith with local landowners to formalize and regularize land tenure for critical community assets, including public schools, the village cemetery, and private residential properties. These long-planned, community-benefiting efforts are now at serious risk because of the unauthorized actions, the council warned. The chaotic, self-serving land grabs have undermined legitimate negotiations that were meant to deliver fair, sustainable outcomes for the entire village, putting broader community development goals in jeopardy.
