SAFETY & SECURITY MEETING

Recently, the HOA called and hosted an open discussion about Crime, Safety and Security at the Stillwater HOA. Notice was published on www.stillwaterhoa.ca in early August 2024.

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

• traffic and Transit noise, litter and speeding vehicles in area

IDEAS

• volunteer patrol, visibility for patrol, no arrest powers

• budget friendly, $0 cost changes,
