'' GROUND ZERO''

         OUR NEW PROUD MEETING PLACE!
AFTER SIX YEARS OF PLANNING--THIS PROJECT STARTED ON MAY 25 OF THIS YEAR
Yes---there were some bumps in the road and a 3 month overrun----BUT---- There is not a nicer or even a comparable meeting facility in all of East Orange County!
 All of us are not happy with the final design and placements of the amenities--But--lets work together to make adjustments and agreements with HTA for the betterment of ALL RESIDENTS!
 One of our major concern is the security issues for both residents and the expensive investments in the hall.
 It is a pitiful comment that a petty theft has already occurred!---YES--3 decorated pillows were stolen in the first week,after opening.
 In the years past--there was an old pool table that was first located in the Masters. Later it was moved to the Greenbrier. The old pool table was always an attraction to the outside moochers and ''whatevers''. Too many times neighborhood watch was called about the young outsiders causing a runkus! 
  We need to protect this new valuable asset and the other valuable items!
 At a HOA board meeting ,sometime ago---Mrs Herrick was discussing, the new features of the remodeled Masters.---She noted that security cameras would be installed in and around the building.
 After Priscilla left--a resident suggested that the HOA question the attorney in regards to the  ''camera  privacy act''
 I and other residents failed to understand having and needing security cameras in a PUBLIC meeting area. 
 I would believe that HTA did do the proper and diligent thing by installing,a good quality surveillance system!
 We would suggest ,--mounting a custom made ,attractive warning sign, as to a camera system, on and in the premises.
 This warning would be better to deter a crime,---than to ''play catch me if you can''
  The Orange county Sheriffs Office--- always describes ''crime deterrent as ''TARGET HARDENING''---That is what we need now than before!
Please do this----We have a great Director of Homeowners, --With Randy Muehl.---Take a few moments to drop Randy a note or memorandum, and give some good suggestions for him to take to Priscilla. 
LETS WORK TOGETHER FOR POSITIVE CHANGE, NOT THE NEGATIVE CRAP---WE ALREADY KNOW MUCH OF THAT!

Thanks Bill! This past Mon. I asked many questions of Priscilla and got most of them answered satisfactory. Every suggestion or question that was asked of me by residents has now been answered. Some of those will be covered at the General meeting tonight.( Thur.) Keep the questions and suggestions coming and we will do our best to get you the answers.
