C.A.N. Report – February 2009

January 23, 2009 by Website Administrator

PGA POA BOARD OF GOVERNORS ELECTION RESULTS
This was the closest election I’ve seen in the eleven years I’ve been at PGA National so a thank you to all candidates is in order, as well as to the Nominating Committee for finding such great candidates!

Congratulations to Herb Andrew and Jeanne Larsen on their election and to Bob Brown and Bob Hodgson on their re-election to the PGA POA Board of Governors.

Although the officers of the corporation have not yet been elected, the POA Board members include (in alphabetical order): Herb Andrew, Bob Brown, Mike Engelsher, Bob Hodgson, Jack Hughes, Ralph Infanti, Jeanne Larsen, Don Paulus and Phil Slifka.

GATES, RENTERS AND NEW CARS
You have probably noticed the guard writing down information when a car goes through the resident lane and the gate doesn’t open. This is not only to inconvenience those who should NOT be using that lane (with the hope that next time they will go through the correct lane which is faster) but also so that this office can then research the problem if there IS a bar code on the car and the gate doesn’t open.

As a result of this study, we have found a number of factors that each of you needs to be aware of and only you can help us correct:

  1. If you got a new car (or changed cars) or for any reason you tried to remove the bar code and re-stick it on another vehicle (or even the same vehicle), it will not work. If it works at all, it will either be intermittent or will quit working so PLEASE COME TO THE POA OFFICE AND GET A NEW BAR CODE. Remember to bring a photo I.D. and the vehicle registration or short-term lease (if it is a rental).
  2. If you are a TENANT (Renter) and perhaps you had a bar code put on your vehicle the last time you rented in PGA, IT WILL NOT WORK NOW (even if you rent the same property every year!). All renters’ bar codes are set to ‘turn off” as of the date of the lease expiration.
  3. This also means if you have renewed or extended your initial lease, you need to notify the POA office and provide us with a copy of the renewal or extension so we can reactivate the bar code.
  4. If you have a bar code sticker for another community and an additional PGA National bar code, they will conflict if they are close together or on the same window. Please stop by the POA office so we can put a new bar code on which is not as close to the other community’s bar code.
  5. Finally, if your bar code is old (ie: it looks dirty and ‘brittle’ or has chips around the edges) or if it has been on the car for more than ten years (such as many of the Championship/Eagleton owners) and the bar code works at the Championship gate but not the others, you need to come by the POA office for a new bar code. The POA readers are VERY sensitive and if there is any damage (a mark through the lines on the bar code, chips, etc) the reader will not scan properly and the gate will not open.

HONDA CLASSIC
Next month is the Honda Classic at PGA National. There is still time TO CLEAN UP YOUR PROPERTY FOR THE TELEVISION CAMERAS!!! At the risk of sounding like a comedian who is doing his famous “You Might Be A Redneck If… jokes, here are some clues:

  • If your roof is black and you bought gray (or white!) tiles, it might just need to be cleaned (ya think?).
  • If you have big gaps in the hedges or your green grass is now full of weeds or is a sick yellow color, it might just need fertilizer.
  • If you walk to the mailbox and no longer have to open the door of the box because it is missing, you might need a new mailbox.

Well, you get the point….Please remember that painting, re-landscaping or other exterior changes requires prior approval from the POA Architectural Review Committee. If you have any question as to whether or not you need approval, please call JoAnn at 627-2800

As of this writing, we don’t yet have the schedule of events (check TV Channel 63 in PGA National) but they will probably have fireworks scheduled again for one night. Last year we received calls from owners of pets who get very upset over the noise (the pets were upset over the noise, not the owners) so if you have a pet that hates ‘the bad boomies” please watch for the fireworks date in next month’s article or on Channel 63.

SECURITY
Please see the Wackenhut Security report from Tom Hartog in this issue but in summary, I wanted to remind all residents keep their car and house locked. Do not leave personal property in your car within view. We have had property stolen from unlocked cars and have had two house break-ins (although the suspect was arrested).

Please also be aware that a number of break-ins occur during the day since there are generally a lot of contractors, landscapers and others walking around. It is very easy to enter an unlocked house or watch an owner leave a garage door open while they walk their dog. The person can get in , take cash and other small valuables and be one before you even realize they were in the house. If you see ANYTHING suspicious, please call Wackenhut at 627-1600 or call the Palm Beach Gardens police.

Before closing, I will suggest that all residents look into glass break sensors or at the very least motion sensors. Most home alarm system have a little magnetic device on the window FRAME and if the glass is broken to gain entry (but the door or window isn’t opened by the frame) the alarm will NOT be activated unless the thief goes past a motion detector or the owner has a glass break sensor. Many owners with pets don’t activate (or don’t have) motion sensors so an inexpensive glass break sensor is the way to go. Contact your alarm company for further information.
