Save an oleander wall/Carlos
Pueblo
There is a metal fence along our
tennis court. Previous homeowner association has planted oleander plants along
the fence and now the bushes are growing very densely and tall like a wall. The
other day, David Leiss came in to the court while I was waiting for my bodies
to come for our regular Sunday games. He is our president of directors at the
association. He told me that one of the lady directors in the board liked to
cut down the bushes and place a long board of sign across the fence. I gave him
my opinion that I like to save the oleander wall.
First, it takes a long time to
grow such bushes to serve as a wall to block the wind which is a factor of
playing tennis. Secondly, Tony in our group points it out that natural wall can
block some street noises as well. David thinks it over and says that we do have
some good points. I was walking pass to his house and he told me another
director thought that I had a point. He said the board would trim the bushes
instead of cutting it down. I think that we save the oleander bushes and also
save the association some money.
Usually we pay our annual
association due to keep the function of the association such as we pay the constable
to patrol our subdivision, we pay private solid disposal, and we maintain the
recreation center which covers a swimming pool, a tennis court and a converted
basketball court, a playground for children, and a club house for meetings,
etc. Our annual revenue is about half of a million and each household due is
about $750 a year and increasing every year. It is like a small public
organization with 5 directors served on the board and hires a management firm
to run the business.
I know all five directors on the
board because that I walk on every street every day. It is very interesting to
know these neighbors who are taking seriously about the business of the
subdivision. We also have a citizen patrol program which provides a vehicle for
the volunteer to drive in order to keep the public safety.
