In addition, the facilities committee addresses the maintenance of the community which can include: • Miscellaneous touch-up painting throughout the Lodge, guard houses, fitness, pool, and community such as marks on the walls, repainting the red curbs, repainting the white mail box areas, repainting fire hydrants and so forth to keep our facilities looking and functioning as efficiently as possible. • Maintenance of all sports courts. • Repair of mal-functioning equipment such as gate arms and motors, pool equipment, Bistro equipment, heating and cooling equipment, lighting, Theater and Ballroom audio and video, which seem to need service at the most inopportune times. • Control and removal of critters and insects that want to live in our community such as squirrels, snakes, raccoons, mosquitos, mice, rats and gophers. • Constant monitoring of our drainage systems to prevent water buildup that can damage our streets and property, when we experience the occasional rainstorm. • Our community signage is a constant issue due to the high sun and heat damage and needs to be replaced on a regular basis. These include street signs, pool signs, and information signs to name a few. The facilities committee inspects different areas of the community every month to try to identify issues before they become major expenses to the community. When issues come up, the committee works with the management team to determine the severity of the problem and get bids and complete all repairs in a timely manner with the least amount of inconvenience to our residents. Every contract is reviewed before it is submitted for payment to ensure we are using the best companies for our community. Landscaping, pool service, fire protection, fitness equipment, security, entrance gates, heating and cooling, cleaning, maintenance, critter control, telephone, cable TV, Internet are examples of some of the contracts that are reviewed at renewal time. The inventory within our community is enormous and we monitor the "end of life" or reserve study, so worn equipment can be replaced before it becomes a catastrophic problem requiring immediate replacement at an increased cost to the community. There is also an interfacing with the Euclid Management, Board of Directors, various committees and clubs, in addition to the residents of our community to ensure we have the most and best information before proceeding with our decisions. This is all completed with a small group of homeowners that are dedicated to ensuring our community will remain in its pristine state forever. Access Control Committee AVOIDING GATE STRIKES AND STOLEN TRANSPONDER SIGNALS AT THE GATES When entering the community, using the following procedure will substantially reduce your risk of being hit by the gate arm or having your signal stolen by unauthorized vehicles. If there is a vehicle ahead of you, stop at the guard station and do not proceed until that vehicle has opened and entered the gate. If you follow the vehicle ahead of you to the reader your signal will open the gate and allow the vehicle in front of you to enter. That may allow an unauthorized vehicle to enter the community. Then If you proceed, the gate arm will close and strike your vehicle. If there is not a vehicle in front of you, proceed slowly to the reader and stop to make certain the reader has recognized your signal. The arm will raise and you can safely proceed when the gate is open. Once the gate is fully open, proceeding quickly through the gate will prevent a vehicle behind you from following close enough to enter without being struck by the gate arm. At the front gate you must slow as you pass the reader or your signal may not be read. That can result in the gate arm striking your vehicle. Recap: Drive slowly when passing the reader to be certain your signal is read. Allow a vehicle ahead of you to pass through the gate before proceeding past the reader. The reader is a grey, flat, square device on a pole. If you have any questions about this procedure or any other safety or traffic issue please email bobbeechsr@yahoo.com.
