Pool Security updates

Brian February 11th, 2010

The HOA has invested in some additional security at the pool which will impact all residents when the pool opens in the spring.

1. After the pool closed for winter, a new card based access system was installed on the gate. Instead of entering a code on the door, each home will be issued electronic access cards which will open the gate simply by waving them over the card reader on the gate. This will help us better control access, reducing use by non-residents, and letting us know who was using the pool if anything is damaged. Residents must be current on their dues to receive access cards, and cards will be distributed before the pool opens in the Spring.

2. In addition to the access system, 3 remotely monitored and motion-activated cameras have been installed around the pavilion to monitor the pool and playground areas. Our hope is that this will discourage vandalism and unauthorized after-hours use.

3. Lastly, we have extended the height of the western pool fence to discourage fence-hopping.

Winter Wall Upgrades

Some residents may have noticed that we have recently installed bricks along the bottom of the wall facing Robinson. We’ve invested in this improvement to try and extend the life of the wall and avoid the sagging and breaking problems that the unsupported walls around Oakmont have suffered, which required costly rebuilding.
