Warm Season’s Greetings to our residents!
Thankfully, November was a quiet month in Sandyport. Just a friendly reminder to all residents to please remember to take along a doggy bag when walking your dogs. We have noticed an increase in incidents with dogs. There are occurrences where the doggy bag with the waste in it is thrown on the side of the road, please consider other residents when walking the dog.
Christmas party guests
It is the time of the year when residents host their Christmas parties and family get-togethers. In order to ensure guests are not held up at the Security gate for clearance, please send a list of expected guests to the Security control room the day before the event. The list should include the visitor’s names as well as the total amount of persons expected.
Family and friends listing
If any resident has family and friends that frequent the property and do not want them to be held up at the gate. Please provide a list of these persons to Security to keep on file. Security will otherwise carry out their expected duty of calling for each person not on the list without any exceptions.
Visitor badges
As previously mentioned, all workers including construction workers, gardeners, and contractors will be issued visitor badges on arrival at the service entrance. The new procedure commences December 13, 2010, initially with construction workers. In order to make this process flow please remind your private gardeners and service workers that they are not to use the main entrance. They are required to use the service entrance for entry AND exit. The only exception will be female pedestrian workers that have been pre-registered by their employers.
We are presently carrying out an exercise of obtaining the names of the maids and their employers. If a worker is terminated, please inform security so that we can ensure that disgruntled workers are not permitted on the property.
Removal of property by third parties
In the event that a resident requires a third party to collect private property (such as a boat or jet ski), please notify security of the details of the property to be removed for identification purposes together with the party authorised to collect the same. When the property exits the estate, security will identify it and contact the owner with details in order to verify that it is the correct item being removed.
Stray pets
We have set up various traps to help humanely capture stray pets (specifically dogs). We would like residents to take care and ensure that their pets are not able to roam freely as they may be caught in one of the traps and ultimately end up in the care of the Humane Society if we are unable to contact the owner within 48 hours.
Resident pet owners may consider including an emergency telephone number on their pet tags, allowing security to quickly reunite a captured pet with its owner.
At a meeting on January 24, 2011 the Board determined that new homes and those presently under construction shall be subject to the following conditions:
We have updated our policy for reserving the pool or playground areas in the interests of ensuring that the areas are left orderly for other users.
We have published the paint schedule for the 2011-2013 period. Every dwelling for which the Association is in possession of a copy occupancy certificate as of today’s date is scheduled to be painted during this time.
Following a review of our security requirements, the Board of Directors has determined that all service workers must enter the property via the service entrance (also known as the Eastern gate). This policy applies for pedestrian workers and those in vehicles. The only exception applies to pre-registered female pedestrian employees (such as maids, cleaners & childminders) who will continue to be permitted entry at the main gate. The service entrance is equipped with a new visitor control system that requires service workers to wear a visitor identification badge whilst on the property.
The Board of Directors has determined that all delinquent accounts are to have the water supply disconnected if any balances remain outstanding beyond 60 days provided that the Association first provides 10 days notice to the Licensee. Thereafter, the account shall be assigned to a debt collection agency, at the Licensee’s expense, for recovery.
