“Because Wood Creek doesn't have an enforceable HOA. And I don't know about Corley and Laurelwood. I mean, they're all older neighborhoods there, so I don't know if they have enforceable HOAs. But I know that Gavin and Bar Lake, I'm sure y'all have hefty enforceable HOAs. So”

“I have a thought. Listening to Gavin, what if we updated the policy or the ordinance or what can be approved and that kind of stuff. And then it's going to be a big discussion on the cost and where that goes and all that. But I think you've got to separate these two. I do think we've got to update it for our current sitting people.”

“And I would really like to see the big picture of if we took everybody we have now right now, not anything that's coming out of the ground, but right now that's developed and done. Meaning neighborhoods is already got homes in him. and put a grandfather cause and what that would look like and I'd like to see some other towns are places that have done that now do not America first, yeah, my question is really just about do we have a complete inventory of streetlights.”

“So with that being said, we all have thrown out a bunch of questions. A bunch of things we'd like for you to look at. Is it possible as we think about this to send you more questions to have for the October work session?”

“Okay. And I mean, you heard two of them say that it's either... Or none. All or none. So I guess the none part was, I mean, y'all are surely for phasing out if it goes that way, right? Instead of just cold turkey cutting.”

“So I think that it would at least need to be those two. But everything needs to be changed so everybody can come in if we want to do it.”

“And I'm for that too. I agree with Gavin on that. I think that that part can go different because it's financial.”

“So I... I kind of would agree that we might need to know to finalize the financial part of it. We might need to know what our standards are going to be, and some people may lose some pavement on their lights and stuff. I mean, I don't have a clue what it is for one of the older neighborhoods, how close the lights are. You said every four lights. Is that what you said?”
Town Council · Sep 21, 2026

“If you go that... further distance on them some of them may have some lights that don't get paid for and they'll have to figure that out i guess so that's what i'm talking about and so they may not have the older neighborhoods may have some that are not paid for for them if we update the ordinance so i'm not opposed to you going ahead with that work i guess it's going to be hold on Okay, so, and I'll just, let's use Corley Woods. Corley Woods has one ever six, okay? And I don't have a clue what it is, and you don't either. But they change it to where it's one ever eight. It's that far between…”

“And you need to bring that all back. We're going to go from there. And I'm just going to remind everybody up here, each one of us were elected to our seats, and you argue your argument, but you vote your conscience, and we should all respect each other with that. And some of us feel different on this than others. And I'm just going to remind you all of that. So that's the last comment on this tonight, and you bring us back. It's tough for October, and we'll do this again. But you know where some people stand and how they feel, and I think we've got to look at different areas. I mean, I've…”
