Streetlights

Yes, we need more people on this forum but I think most people do not care what's going on around here.
As for the streetlights, since I did not get many positive responds, I kinda left it in limbo without pursuing the subject further. Another reason, after seeing a news segment on some TV channels a couple of weeks ago, that the City and Centerpoint Energy are teaming up to install free streetlights in Sunnyside area to make the streets safer (link: http://www.houstontx.gov/mayor/press/20070711.html).
I really don't see why we should pay for our own streetlights while other people are receiving them for free elsewhere. We need streetlights here for the very same reason, to make our street safer and to deter prostitution & crime.
I had in mind to take this up with the City soon when I have a bit more time. Maybe it's time for M.J. Khan to do something good for this area.

Trash

I agree with James & has a previous board member, fighting this issue is a losing battle. As long as the trash is out, I don't think many here at SPW will worry about meticulously placing it either to the right or left. I think the board needs to lean on our Porter to be diligent with taping up the trash rule flyers to both garages in question. I never see any flyers. I agreed to keep her supplied with them.

I agree...why would we have to pay & not Sunnyside? Not fair.

If we are not successful in getting them free, why not announce at the annual meeting in January that a fee of $6 will be added to our maintenance fee accounts. If our monthly fees are reduced, I don't see a problem with a one time fee of $6 for the lights.

I agree with Sherry. Although it's not fair for us to have to pay when others are getting it for free, I'd rather not wait too long to get the street lights in place.
