Drivers of vehicles with dark tinted glass should open their windows when stopping at the Security gate so that personnel can check that the occupants are not under duress.

Provide Security Services with guest lists for any upcoming functions in order to prevent delays or inconveniencing them.

The Association is not responsible for hurricane preparedness and clean up of private gardens.
Due to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Matthew, we will be carrying out a complimentary basic clean up of all gardens. After the hurricane clean up contractor has completed their work on the gardens, the gardening contractor will be able to service them.
As a result of the massive disruption, the gardening cycles have been reset to allow the gardening service to follow the clean up. Please expect interruptions in normal service for the next 2 weeks whilst we prepare the property.
Repairs to the canal inlet are in progress: To reduce the amount of sand infiltrating the inlet through the groin, a seawall is being integrated. We expect to reduce the amount of dredging necessary to keep the channel passable.
The Board of Directors has reviewed the policy concerning the service workers’ access to the property. Effective immediately, service workers such as maids, cleaners, child-minders, gardeners & car washers may apply for an annual dual-entry pass entitling them to access the property using either of the two entrances. The cost of the pass is $10 per annum (or $1 per month or part thereof if purchased during the year) and may be applied for by the resident responsible who should contact Security Services at the main entrance or by telephone on 327-6943. The dual-entry pass is issued at the sole discretion of Security Services and will not be available for construction workers or any personnel that it believes would be best served by access control at the service entrance.
