Ms. Sanchez:
As I type you this email I am staring out into a very dark street, itâs been 2 Â months now without streetlights. I am wondering about the potential danger that lurks out there and hoping and praying that our neighborhood stays safe for one more dark nightâhoping that the kids laughing, playing and riding their bikes donât get hit by a car that doesnât see them or that the people walking their dogs donât get hit by a car. Iâm hoping that a criminal doesnât take advantage of the darkened streets to commit a burglary or worse a violent crime against some innocent people.
And why all these concerns? One reason:
Because the City of Oceanside and RDO are caught in a financial power struggle that is more important to them than the safety of our neighborhoods.
Is that really fair to all of us? Itâs time to put your differences aside and resolve this immediately.
Is this financial power struggle between the City of Oceanside and RDO really worth the potential lawsuit the City and RDO face? How much more money will that cost?
The residents deserve an answer NOW as to when the new streetlights will be installed. Please donât give us anymore excuses on who shall pay for it and when. Just install our new lights.
Sincerely,
Elise Hartmann

Dear Rancho del Oro residents,
Thank you much for your e-mails regarding this very critical issue. We have been working jointly with your HOA board to come up with a solution on how we can help replace the neighborhood's street lights. I am very anxious to avoid any possible public safety issues. I care very much about our children and their safety.
This evening, the city manager addressed this issue at the city council meeting. Although he talked during a period of time on the calendar entitled, "public comments on items not on the agenda," we wanted to make sure you knew that we are all working on a solution.
Again, thank you for all your e-mails. I will be following up with our city manager and city attorney to ensure this problem is taken care of.
Best regards,
Esther
