    Why not try both!  

    Because I think the committee could be acting beyond its authority, outside the OC Act, if it claims to represent all OC owners on general neighborhood issues.

    In the very few times that a council has contacted my OC/BCs directly, it’s been about OC owned property issues.

    Yet I receive, individually as a rate payer, every couple of months, council letters seeking my views on various neighborhood issues.  Street traffic changes, park upgrades, nearby planning applications etc.  They even sent one out about the street lighting issue that the committee member is concerned about.  All OC lot owners and neighbours would have received the same letters.  So to me, it seems that councils want to deal with individual rate payers on these matters anyway.

    Of the three issues the committee member is concerned about, only on-street parking line markings could be considered straightforward maintenance.  The other two issues are certainly subject to opinion.
