Customer service

We have enhanced the ‘Report a concern’ ticketing system on our website to provide an integrated solution that allows all support queries to be tracked through a single unified process. Support requests can be created with any of the following methods:

  1. By clicking on the ‘Report a concern’ tab to the right
  2. By accessing the ‘Customer service’ panel from the top menu then by selecting the ‘Submit a request’ option
  3. By emailing support@sandyportmanagement.com with your address and message

The ticketing system has been successful to date and the benefits of using this method to report concerns include:

  1. Being faster since the system is designed to receive, track and progress chase to completion
  2. Creating visibility to what concerns are in progress and what stage they are at
  3. Not waiting for voice messages to be passed to the right department

However, we recognize that it is not always practical to report concerns electronically so our staff will open a support ticket if the information is called in and the query cannot be handled immediately.

In the coming weeks, the ‘Customer service’ section will be populated with helpful information so it may be worth checking before opening a new ticket in the event that your query may already be answered. Finally, those tickets created using the previous system will remain accessible until they are solved and closed.

Board of Directors Meeting: Updates for November 2011

The Board has discussed a number of issues at a recent meeting and have agreed upon the following:

Delinquent accounts

As of January 1, 2012 a list of addresses detailing delinquent accounts will be made available to any Member of the Association upon request.

Pest control

The Association will continue to monitor the common areas for rodents and ensure that there are adequate rodent bait stations in place. Residents requiring rodent control on their private property should contact a reputable company for assistance as this service is outside the scope of the Association’s obligations.

To further enhance the health of our environment, rollout trash containers with attached lids will soon replace the existing garbage cans.

Phase V recreation area

The area will continue to be for the use of all residents and their pets. There are no plans at this time to restrict the entry of pets.

Sandyport security decals

The recently issued decals will be replaced by the issue of new decals that will bear the Sandyport logo in lieu of the name. A notice will be sent when they are available.

Dangerous dogs

Owners of dogs that are considered a threat because they demonstrate aggressive behaviour will be asked to remove them forthwith and failure to do so will result in police involvement. The policy applies irrespective of size or breed of animal.

  • 8am – 9am
