I live in a condo which does not have a fire sprinkler system while I agree and support the install of same I do not agree with the Mayor's assessment on the cost to install.  "...a few thousand dollars to install, they can save a life and prevent significant property damage in the event of a fire,” Caldwell said in a letter..."  Then there is the issue of the AOAO decision making process and funding of same.  Personally, I rather have it as a one time assessment vs. the MF to which a standard percentage increase is applied annually,  However, provide a means for those cannot afford the assessment to have an installment plan applied.  It would mean having two different billing systems (i.e. Kahala Towers(?)) to accommodate both...a little more work to pull if off...but doable to take care of both parties.
