Gates & Laundry Doors

An Email to Desiree,

I am concerned that there is not proper communication to our
community. Yesterday there was an event occurring in our community
that everyone should have been made aware of. Apparently the police
were looking for loose individuals most likely living in our complex.
Things like this that could be a danger to our residents should be
communicated through email and postings on the locked community board
in the laundry room that I installed just for this purpose. Also, we
have an official community web page that seems not to get updated.
Either it should be taken down or, kept up to date. Otherwise, the
announcements are misleading as to the current state of your
community.

Also, I believe that matters like the one yesterday are a direct
result of our gate always being broken. Also, posting the fact on the
gate instead of a controlled forum such as the ones listed above, only
advises those individuals trespassing as to the current state of your
security. Maybe it is time that the gate are updated with a type that
is more suitable to the kind of use that they see.

Speaking of security, the two doors to the laundry room are not
secured. It does not cost that much to have two steel doors with
PROPER locks installed. We have been battling this issue for at least
4 years. They should just be replaced with commercial steel doors with
commercial locks.

I realize that this all costs money. We have a new budget for 2010 and
I am hoping that these kinds of issues are addressed. As a community,
we have an obligation to budget for and maintain the complex to a
standard that gives way to safety and to hold or increase property
value.

Your company has done an amazing job thus far and has always responded
to any concerns I have had. I hope that your experience has an impact
on the residence, with moderate experience, that make up the board.
Thank you as always for your understanding and professionalism.

Yours,

Kevin Sharp
