Safety and Security: The committee has currently not had a quorum for their first two meetings, with the chair person resigning at the end of the first meeting. Our General Manager, Clint, has an appointment with a Security Analyses person who hopefully will suggest alternatives to what we are currently doing. Also, B RIAN C ANFIELD , President of the Board, has authorized Clint to hire an additional guard for the graveyard shift. Additionally, Clint will be contacting the Cathedral City Mayor to have an audience with him and the Police Chief, and ask that they visit ORPS to discuss our concerns about Owner and Phase Representative,T ERRI N OLAN , is heading up the Ambassador Program. The program will include a 30 minute tour, not scripted. Guests will be asked to fill out a card which can then be referred to the sales or rental offices and kept on file for future reference. If any owner is interested, please contact Terri at catalogqueenterri@msn.com or 951-206-5752. SECURITY ISSUES: We are all aware that ORPS is experiencing a rise in break-ins and thefts. The Board is working on solutions, most of which will involve a significant capital cost. As owners, it is our responsibility to ensure our lots are lighted . Make sure motion sector lights are installed at the back of rigs and coaches as well as keeping your front trees wrapped with lights. Or ensure lights are installed so the fronts of our l ots are well lit. Don’t give thieves dark places to hide. Also look at ways to lock your valuables up. Ensure cars and bikes are secured. DATES TO REMEMBER: New Candidates Forum: Monday, January 23 in La Palma at 1 p.m. the increased crime lately. Ambassador Program
COMMUNICATIONS MMI The Communications Committee is an enthusiastic, involved group who meet the first Monday of each month from November through April at 11:30 AM except January which will be the second Monday. If you live in phase 1, 2, 4, or 5 please consider joining us. You will learn lots about what is happening in ORPS. Members can be as involved as they wish. At the last meeting we discussed several relevant issues within our community. Our Board representative M ARYELLEN M UIR shared the following: Extension of Dog Relief at front of property approved for additional 90 days to February 15. The Landscaping Committee is looking for new members. The Marketing Committee is now an official committee (formerly an ad hoc Committee). The Ambassador Program is now under them. Provided clarification on how correspondence sent to the board is handled: Correspondence marked as CONFIDENTIAL will be assessed by a board member and must fit the criteria of personal information, legal or contractual. If it does not meet that criteria then it is sent back to the owner to either be withdrawn or published as non-confidential. All correspondence received is sent to the appropriate department or board member for action or response. Any owner can ask Secretary to the Board, S USAN M ATTHEW to see correspondence as she keeps records of it all. COMMITTEE LIASON REPORTS: We try to have one Communications Committee member visit each of the other monthly committee meetings so we have an understanding of what is happening throughout our resort and share pertinent information with you. The reports for last month are as follows: A&A (Architectural and Aesthetics): The first issue that comes up is the application for a permit through S ANDRA Y ESCAS in the main office. It is just the application, not the permit itself. Each lot has a plot plan which relates to square footage and setbacks. The application should reflect the dimensions in square footage of the project in relationship to the plot plan of the lot and diagram. Any electrical work requires a qualified electrician and a permit through Cathedral City, who inspect the electrical work. Pickleball: The Grand Opening for the new courts is set for January 14. There will be hot dogs and a ribbon cutting ceremony. They are expecting up to 700 people to attend. The Farewell Dance will be in late February instead of March to ensure more people are on site.
New Owners Reception: Monday, January 23 at 4 p.m. in Owners’ Lounge
