SAFETY & SECURITY MEETING

In summer 2024, the HOA hosted an open discussion about Crime, Safety and Security in the area.

CONCERNS RAISED

• expense to repair vandalism & of damages, examples provided, cost to perform repairs detracts from operation of clubhouse, amenities, Rink, Spray park

• HOA expenses may be addressed by fee increases

• high risk times 2-5PM daily, 9-11PM, traffic on site = low/no damage, high correlation between delinquent accounts & likelihood of on site damage, Tenant-occupied Properties correlated to risk

• ugliness and obscenity of graffitti,pornographic images

• trespassers at site, unsightly residential premises, overgrown weeds and lawns,lack of adult presence/activities at HOA site

• problems similar to condos with security/ crime issues in garage, common or parking areas,

• camera usage may not deter crime, Police not interested in video footage, surveillance may create a “big brother” and privacy issues,

• social issues: parenting skills, lack of affordability, financial pressures on homeowners might be linked to some of the undesirable behaviour,

• ETS bus stop location and behaviours may contribute to traffic, crime, vagrancy & homelessness in area

• Re-zoning application to build multi-family housing/ condos may contribute to undesirable traffic, crime

IDEAS PROPOSED

• Trail Cameras, video surveillance, audible alarms at gates, doors; site lighting changes, site motion detectors,

• volunteer patrol, visibility for patrol, no arrest powers

• budget friendly, $0 cost changes; monetization of damages to responsible offenders

• replace fob access with Scan Card system; admission by two factor authentication (fob + card, Fob+ code); rink gate reader or lock, higher fence

• independent Community League to increase traffic and usage; Neighbourhood Watch program or EPS liason; Use of City 311 App to report damage, vandalism, infractions; EPS Agent Program on site

 TAKE AWAYS:

Attendees agreed next meeting regarding:

• Formation of Community League; EPS Liason, EPS Agent program, Neighbourhood Watch Program; Volunteer Patrol; On site programming and events to increase traffic/ presence

NEXT MEETING – scheduled for October 8 6:00PM –  HOA Clubhouse.

Result: N/A – lack of interest/ attendance = CANCELLED
