Over a week ago I called the office to request that they grade out/fill some ever growing potholes at the end of our street, as had been done in past years prior to the winter rains. Nobody answered the telephone so I left a clear message on their machine with my contact info and requested some service for the hundreds of dollars a year I pay to have our roads maintained. To date nobody has returned my call, nor have they done any work that I can see.
Is it possible they are still having phone and computer issues during the transition from Net.com? Lot owners were experiencing the same issues w/the previous ofc staff of leaving msgs and getting no response. I don't know if all of this has to do w/Net. com. The pothole and road condition issues aren't unique to this mgmt. The previous mgmt had the same exact issues and were asking for more road crew. Do we need more road crew staff? Or is it about working smarter?

Some of our districts probably have fewer than 200 voters, and I would suggest that the process be changed to a percentage of actual votes from within each district the prior election. (Say 10% for example, so if only 120 people voted in a district then it would require 12 signatures to initiate a recall election, and I would also suggest that the recall vote be determined by a simple majority, not a 2/3 vote, since they got into office and started abusing their duties on a simple majority.
It's not a good thing to make the recall process too easy either. There needs to be a balance..think about the costs of just doing one recall. Costs of printing the ballots, office staff labor which would include checking lot owner standing, costs of postage. To give a more accurate statement on cost, research is needed.
