Social get-togethers

Other:

1 – Would like to see weed control continued and expanded

1 – Housing tract developers should have to set aside more land for parks and open spaces

1 – Big difference between west and east sides of town; east feels more isolated, more sprawl, lots of sidewalks and no one walking, poor restaurant choices, lines of traffic

1 – I think there should be a way to get rid of renters who do not take care of yards and speeding on residential streets; making owners responsible.

1 – Informational gatherings

 44 - Take a side and take action

  5  - Distribute information only

  1 – As long as there is majority consensus within the Association

  1 – Feel we are just fed info on issues already decided and we have no control.

  1 – Keep it a group that will deal with City Hall

  1 – Depends on how many are speaking for the entire area; if only a few, distribution only please; I don’t want 2 or 3 activists speaking for everyone believing we agree with them

  1 – When the issue is at odds with the mission of NA; protecting and enhancing the liveability and sense of community
