the question was:

SHOULD LA PROMOTE A SPECIAL SATURDAY FOR SPRING CLEAN UP DAY?

the answers were: YES 68 votes ------ NO 2 votes

GETTING PEOPLE INVOLVED WITH LA EARLY IN THE SEASON IS A GOOD IDEA -- A SPRING CLEAN UP DAY COULD BE A WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO CLEAN UP THE LOTS, REMOVE LEAVES, STICKS, WEEDS; OLD DECK FURNITURE THEY DON'T WANT SINCE THEY HAVE NEW FURNITURE; TOYS, BIKES AND OTHER PLAY THINGS THEIR KIDS DON'T USE ANYMORE SINCE THEY GREW OUT OF THEM; FURNITURE FROM THEIR TRAILERS THEY WANT TO DISCARD-- ALL THIS STUFF THAT HAS BEEN PILING UP AROUND THEIR TRAILERS AND SHEDS --

la should help by have a schedule to collect leaves - these leaves can be collected and piled up by the roadside and la maintenance could come around the next week with a truck mounted vacuum and collect and discard the leaves ( yes at the meet the candidate night this idea was pooh poohed-- just another example of what is wrong with the attitude of the current board-- they just can't see how to things like this can be done-- not much imagination on their part) --

perhaps a truck and a few men could be utilized on this saturday to collect bulk material that needs to go to the dumpster -- nothing heavy and it would have to be outside a trailer in the front of the property ( a fee could be developed to cover these costs of this service for people who don't have a vehicle to haul items)

in most cases the junk that is accumulating on properties is a result that most people have no method to haul junk or their age limits their ability to accomplish this without help -- and i think most people would be willing to pay a nominal fee to get this service --

now i know that the answer from the la management and the bod is that this can't be done -- they have lots of reasons for not doing things -- what they don't have is an alternative method to accomplish these things-- it easier to just ignore the problems-- the status quo is how they see everything

so here is the situation those voting in the poll overwhelming want a clean up day -- i wonder if it has even a chance with this management-- i doubt it!
