leaves

i see by the la web page that if you use a contractor to clean up your leaves, they now can drop them off at the leaf disposal area by the maintenance building--- before the contractor had to dispose of the leaves at another place other than la--- this is a sensible decision on the part of la----it should make it easier to find a contractor to do this work-- it should also make it cheaper for the members

why this old rule was set up to prohibit contractors from using the leaf dump is beyond me----- it was counterproductive and resulted in members having difficulty finding someone to provide this service and it cost members more money if they could find someone to remove leaves-- as a result i'm sure some people didn't get their leaves up and that in itself is not good-- it makes the community look badly, it creates a fire hazard (the fire last month proved that)-- it causes matted leaves to clog up drainage ditches and pipes, it breeds mosquitoes and offers protective cover for rodents and snakes

leaf collection seems to be a difficult idea for la management--
they seem to fight it at any mention of the idea-- leaf collection is neither difficult or need be expensive-- what it takes is planning and scheduling-- these two actions are really lacking on this issue-- hopefully someone will see that this is important to the community and the community's safety--- -----
