Remember, your board members are just fellow homeowners who volunteer to try to solve problems. They don't see everything. Chances are that if no one has addressed a problem, it's because neither a board member nor the property manager has noticed it yet.
It could be something as simple as the irrigation looking funny, or an area where all the grass has died. Tell someone. Not only are you not bothering them, alerts from residents help them get things fixed or improved.
In the case of street lights out, you can report the problem directly to TECO. Just make a note of the number on the pole (the photo below shows one of the big tall lights. The shorter ones on black poles also have an ID number on them).
Then fill out a simple form on the TECO website and they'll get to it. It can take a while because they do repairs on a rotating basis, so if they have just come through the community, it could be a few weeks before they return.
