2010 Morgan Acres Survey Now Online

Hey Folks. Do you remember the 2010 Morgan Acres Survey  we passed around in some emails and, to some degree, door to door? I've now posted it online for you to view or print. It's not meant to be scientific by any stretch of the imagination. Only an opportunity for residents' input. While compiling results I tried to keep residents comments as close to their actual wording as possible.

POLL #5: Safety in Morgan Acres

This week's poll question is directly about our neighborhood. We often hear about crime in other neighborhoods and usually go 'ho-hum'. But this question asks about how safe YOU feel, as a resident, living in the Morgan Acres neighborhood. Do you ever wonder how your neighbors feel? Do you feel safe walking the streets at night? Do you have a problem with prowlers? How about a drug house close by? Maybe you have a neighbor who is rude to you or seems to attract the type of friends that make you feel uncomfortable. Perhaps you are able to talk to all of your neighbors and feel you have the best neighbors one can ask for. As usual, we welcome comments on this post and welcome your participation and/or input in these polls. Also, remember that our neighborhood stretches from Crestline to just beyond Havana, and from Francis to Magnesium Road, along with the area just east of the Hillyard Neighborhood. 

Hillyard Hobo Bulletin Available For Download

I have uploaded all of the Hillyard Hobos except one, which I can't find. I'll get another copy and upload it. You'll find them under the 'Documents' page. Also, I've uploaded all of our past minutes that I have available. If anyone has any other old copies I'd love to scan them and put them up.

POLL #4: How Many County Commissioners Should We Have?

In the news this week...... former Spokane City Council candidate Karen Karney is preparing a petition to put to voters giving them the opportunity to raise the current number of commissioners from three to five. We started out with a three member commission in 1884 when Spokane was just getting started. We now have almost 500,000 souls residing within Spokane County's boarders. Radio station KQNT reported on air (if I remember right) that each additional commissioner would cost county taxpayers $100,000. They also reported that currently two commissioners cannot be together outside formal meetings because it would constitute a quorum. With a five member commission any two could debate publicly without it being considered a quorum. So the question is: Is now the time to make the change from three county commissioners to five? Also, feel free to leave a comment!

POLL #3

This week's poll is about the possible addition of a photo album (yes, I messed up the question in the poll again, but hey, it's my day off). The poll only allows for one vote. I couldn't get it to let people choose multiple votes. So if you want to choose additional answers you'll have to vote again. I know, it's sort of lame, but hopefully I'll figure it out someday. If you want to expand or add to any of the answers, click on the word 'comments' below this post. You can log in as 'anonymous' if you'd like.
