MMI
A special thank you to Dede, Brian and Clint and all our phase representatives. I’d also like to acknowledge the time and dedication J ENNIFER M IRANDA has offered to The Oracle and the Website as well as Susan Matthew who can answer all our questions and supply us with important historical date. It does take a team. J OAN C RAVEN ..L OT 1109 Chair
The just embarking on developing a Strategic Plan to ensure the work we do will serve Outdoor Resort in the years to come. Our focus is to improve communication with ORPS as well as the extended community. One strategy is to focus on face-to-face communication. We are also trying to identify the many touch points the Communications Committee can im- plement to communicate a concise, clear, and consistent message. A representative from our committee visits each com- mittee meeting and then reports back at our meetings. This ensures we all have up-to-date information about what is happening throughout the resort. We regularly update our two bulletin boards in the clubhouses. We are committed to emailing reports from Town Halls as ways to ensure the message reaches all. We will soon have signs at the front gate announcing upcoming Board and committee meetings. When we host events we deliver consistent information. The Candidate’s Forum was well received as was the New Owner’s Reception. We’ve heard good reports about Neighborhood Picnic. Events are just one touch point for communication. On March 12, the Cathedral City High School Jazz Band will be having a concert here. Instead of a Picnic in the neighborhood, Phase 3 is sponsoring this event to raise funds for the band to travel to Australia. It will be a great concert. Please plan to attend and support our neighborhood school. We have been working closely with one of the most visible written communications in the Resort, the ORACLE. Recently, the editor, E VA N ORCROSS and a representative, T OM O’F LAHERTY met with the Board Chair, J ENNIFER M IRANDA , S USAN M ATTHEW , our GM as well as myself to identify ways to ensure the ORACLE continues in it’s important role. We all recognize it will evolve and the transition to an on-line version will have and has had it’s challenges. We are grateful for the enthusiasm and dedication we get from the ORACLE editor, to continue to produce a quality product. The phase reps are an enthusiastic group of men and women dedicated to communication. If you are interested in communication you might like to join us at our meetings. Guests are always welcome. We couldn’t embark on this exciting journey without support from the Board and GM. Continued in the next column. Communications Committee is
Security Report 3 Stolen Propane Tanks 2 Stolen Bikes 1 Attempted Stolen Bike 1 RV Break in 1 Vehicle Break in 1 Stolen Purse 1 Pair Stolen Golf Shoes
As I stated in last month, I have had the addition to another Officer patroling at night. With the cooperation of Cathedral City Police Department, I am happy to say that the number of thefts have gone down. With the two reported stolen bicycles, one was found and returned to its owner. The attempted stolen bike was thwarted due to the owner utilizing the U Lock instead of a cable lock or chain. The vehicle break in was due to the vehicle being left unlocked overnight and the stolen purse was in that vehicle. With the added presence of both my Security Staff and Cathedral City Police Department, we have disrupted the amount of time that the criminal element has had to victimize you in the past. This has left the criminals no choice but to limit their time spent within our walls and perform strictly “Crimes of Opportunity”, meaning that they take what is easily available. I urge you to secure your items in your rigs overnight and lock your vehicles with alarm set if you have one. Keep in mind the numbers that I provide come straight from the incidents that you report to us. I have been made aware that the bicycle alarm that can be purchased at the Convenience Store successfully stopped an attempted bicycle theft. This incident was not reported to us. I urge every- one of you to report any suspicious activity to my staff right away so we can attempt to catch individu- als that do not belong in the resort. Thank you.
