Safety & Access Control Committee

A Busy 2021

Our committee was active in pursuing several objectives. Here’s a summary of our key accomplishments.

• Two Town Halls were held to illuminate and gain resident input on Safety and Access issues and initiatives. Advised PBM management and supplied comments and input to the CCR drafts.

• Prepared the CERT Program for the 2021 hurricane season and were ready for activation when, thankfully, the one threatening hurricane turned away from impacting our community. All CERT supplies were moved to University Park, saving costs for outside storage. Committee members attended CERT training and are now ready to implement a broader training effort in the Park.

• Safety & Access Control contributed articles for the “UP to Date” e-newsletter and assisted in the “First Alert” preparedness information for all homeowners.

• The committee prepared a board-requested presentation and recommendations on road safety in the Park, based on over three years of data collection and committee discussions.
