20 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2020 Facilities Committee 2019 was a busy year for the Facilities Committee in maintenance items and improvement projects for our community. The Arts & Crafts Room was expanded and remodeled, the Spa building gym and aerobics room flooring was replaced and the pool tables in The Lodge Billiards Room were refurbished. Some maintenance projects completed included: the renovation of the Potrero guard house, paver repairs on a number of the traffic circles, and The Lodge flat roof replacement. In addition, The Lodge ground lighting was repaired and converted to LED lighting, The Summit spa coping was replaced, the spa was replastered, and several air conditioning condensers were replaced. A number of resident requests were approved including privacy curtains for the dressing areas of the pool facilities, wall mounted- fans were installed in the aerobics room, an ab machine was added to The Courts gym, and bird spikes were placed on the light poles at the tennis courts. The Facilities Committee has several projects for early 2020 we are recommending or already approved. NPG Asphalt will slurry seal the streets in phase A and Four Seasons Blvd. between The Summit and The Courts after the first of the year. Empire Technologies was approved to update the security camera system. Cameras will also be installed at the Breckenridge gate. AWS consultants has provided recommendations for roof repairs for The Lodge, RCN and Spa buildings. The committee will be selecting a roof vendor from the recommendation. We are presenting the conversion to LED lighting at the pickleball courts. In addition to providing improved lighting, the LED lighting will substantially reduce energy and maintenance costs. The Facilities Committee meets in the RCN Conference Room on the second Wednesday of the month at 10 am. We always welcome residents to join us and share their ideas or concerns. We currently have several positions open on the Facilities Committee for anyone interested in serving our community. Happy New Year! ~ Bruce Lewis, b.lewis2794@sbcglobal.net EVACUATIONS AND INFORMATION We live in a world where we are victims of deceptive marketing. A couple of months ago a poorly worded Evacuation Notice seemed like another telephone scam. It sounded like a warning and not an actual evacuation notice. There was nothing to let you know that the notice was coming from a legitimate government agency. A resident found out from the Beaumont Police that the notice was a false alarm. The failed notice led to complaints to Riverside County Emergency Management Department (EMD). This information was passed on to the State of California Office of Emergency Services AKA Cal OES. They told Riverside to write three specific notices. 1. An evacuation warning. 2. An actual evacuation notice. 3. A request to shelter in place. There will be no more confusion about evacuations. We were told by the Beaumont Police that an evacuation would be loud and noisy with patrol vehicles making announcements and officers knocking on doors. The city of Beaumont told us that Beaumont High School is their location of choice for an emergency shelter. The problem is that they only have space for about 90 people. The California Highway Patrol surveyed residents returning to their neighborhoods. The most wanted item was prescription medications. We need to be informed. The following websites and phone numbers offer information for our residents. 1. AlertRivco.com 2. BeaumontCA.gov resident alert sign ups 3. Beaumont Police non-emergency # (951) 769-8500 4. Beaumont/CalFire (916) 653-5123 M-F 8-5 pm 5. So Cal Edison sce.com/psps If you have not signed up for emergency alerts, you should. Persons caring for the handicapped or who are handicapped themselves need an early notification. Emergency warnings should serve as actual notices for this group. People caring for the handicapped or having domestic animals have a lot more stuff to pack and they will need the extra time to get ready. The state approval of EMD's rewrite of the evacuation notices will relieve the stress of it possibly being a scam. If you need or want more information, please come to our next EPC meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 10 am in the RCN Conference Room. ~ Michael A.
