In December 2018, I addressed the

topic of change. Progress cannot

occur without change. The Lakeridge

Falls Community has truly experi-

enced a great deal of change with the

resurfacing of our pool and the Ren-

ovation of our Clubhouse and An-

nex. That project began on October

8, 2018. We were finally able to

open the Clubhouse to our residents

after last month's Board Meeting.

We had a minimum of 200 residents

view the building the first week fol-

lowing that meeting and just recently

were able to offer the FOB system

for regular hours. Fitness equipment

and furniture items are being utilized.

While there are many kinks to iron

out, it is exciting to see residents

enjoy our new space. Please be pa-

tient and mindful that there will be

changes ongoing.

We would like to remind everyone

that the some of the activities will be

subject to change as we find more

efficient space and times for all in the

future to enjoy. We are ALL anxious

to get back to our busy social activi-

ties that involve the Clubhouse

Amenities. We have noted some

impatience and incivility and urge

everyone to practice positive atti-

tudes and shared interest. Also, re-

member that all residents are wel-

come to attend the regular committee meetings. This will keep

you updated and prepared of the ongoing changes to our poli-

cies and timelines.

We want to thank those who recently helped with the Hurri-

cane preparation for Dorian. We are so fortunate that it

missed our area. Our newly formed committee and volun-

teers were very timely and helpful. Our staff at Lakeridge Falls

are working very hard on the many challenges within our com-

munity. We want them to know how much we appreciate

their support.

Be mindful of the upcoming time changes with daylight savings

time next month on November 3rd!

On behalf of the LRF Board of Directors,

Mary Cochran, President

Property Manager Report by Oded Neeman

Reserve Study – Back in June, the Board of Directors ap-proved a proposal by the Reserve Study Group, an inde-pendent consulting company, to perform a reserve study. Many may wonder, what is a reserve study? A reserve study is a long-term budgetary plan which assists in establishing and/or evaluating reserve funds. The way the reserve study works is by accounting for all of the Association’s physical assets, such as pool, roofs, roads, fences, etc., and thereafter attaching an equitable fund-ing plan so when the time comes to repair or replace such assets sufficient funds would be available to do so. Here is a simple example of the above using a hypo-thetical example.

The consulting company identifies the pool as a physical asset of the Association. This company estimates, based on its data, that the pool will need to be resurfaced in ten years and that it will cost $100,000 to do so. Know-ing the Association has $20,000 in reserve at the mo-

ment for this purpose, the consulting company recom-mends raising $80,000 in the next 10 years for this goal, i.e. equitable funding plan. The benefit of a re-serve study is that it provides an independent and comprehensive overview of the Association’s assets. The more significant benefit of a reserve study is that it outlines a detailed strategy for reserving for future cost, allowing the Association to be financially ready when assets deteriorate.

We bring this issue up because a few weeks ago the Reserve Study Group submitted its report to the Board of Directors. This document is now used by the Budget Committee in the process of developing the 2020 budget and the reserve schedule. As a document of the Association, you are more than welcome to have a copy of this report. Please note that an electronic copy is available upon request and at no charge. Hard copies are available at my office for 10 dollars, which are used to cover the printing costs of the report.

access control vendor, was on site to install the two new 60-inch television sets. The two sets were mount-ed on the grand salon wall. While they are not yet con-nected to a cable service, the two smart devices are connected to the internet. This means that residents can enjoy many programs, movies and music the televi-sion sets and their apps have to offer despite the fact they are not connected to cable service.

While onsite, Moss Integration Solutions also set up the computers, printer and internet service at the club room. They also made sure to install a new router for the pool area so residents can enjoy free Wi-Fi while using the pool. Speaking of the new club room, Mrs. Mary Cochran, President, Ms. Lori Klein, Vice President, and Ms. Judy Buffa, member of the Design Group, or-ganized the room making sure the new library is set for residents to use. As far as the billiard tables goes, Pool Table Pros, a local vendor, made sure to relevel the tables and they are now ready for residents to use as well.

Finally, there were many small maintenance work per-formed to adjust some of the work done during the renovation. Arctic Air Service | Plumbing Department made some adjustments to the work performed by the construction plumber. First, the bathroom faucets were not working properly. In order to operate some of them, one had to place his or her hands close to the

sensors. As a result, many residents thought the fau-cets were broken. Arctic Air plumber, therefore, made sure to calibrate the faucets and now they are working perfectly. In addition, we had to switch the toilet tank in the handicap stall in the men’s bathroom. The Asso-ciation was advised that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that flush handles will be on the

Renovation Update – Lots was going on in the past month with the clubhouse renovation. First, the clubhouse’s contents were delivered back from storage. Thanks to Mrs. Paula Murray’s out-standing supervision and guidance, and needless to say hard work, this entire procedure was flaw-less. More exciting news is that Fawley Bry-ant Architecture & Interior Design, the vendor that provided interior design services to Lak-eRidge Falls, was able to deliver the new tables and chairs. Following the delivery of the contents from storage and the delivery of the new furni-ture, members of the Board of Directors, Design Group, and Social Committee made sure to organ-ize and place those items in their new locations. This will be a great time to thank all members who were and still are working to help get the clubhouse ready for its official reopening.

Gym Source, a fitness equipment vendor, deliv-ered the new fitness equipment. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce that the Fitness Center is now opened! After they delivered the new equip-ment, we discovered that a couple of items ar-rived damaged from the manufacturer. Gym Source made sure to reorder those items and we are happy to announce they arrived a couple of weeks later. In addition, the Board of Directors with the advice of the Design Group and Buildings Committee made sure to order a cubby to allow fitness center users some extra space to store their personal belonging while working out. At the current moment, we are in the process of ob-taining new TV sets for the new fitness center. We hope that by the time you read this article, the sets would have already been purchased and installed. With this in mind, we invite all residents to enjoy LakeRidge Falls' new Fitness Center. Please note that the clubhouse and club room (i.e. previously fitness center room) hours of op-eration are 6am to 11pm.

Also last month, Aquatic Consulting Inc (ACI) own-er, Mr. Adam Pablo, personally delivered two tel-evision sets he donated to the community. Below is a picture of Mr. Pablo with one of the TVs upon delivery. I am sure all would like to join us in thanking Mr. Pablo and (ACI) for what many would agree are wonderful and generous gifts. Above all, it shows the long-lasting and close rela-tionship the community has with its vendors. Fol-lowing the delivery of the televisions, Moss Inte-gration Solutions, LakeRidge Falls’ technology and

open side (i.e. further from the wall). Finally, Arctic Air plumber made sure to level the drain cap in the men’s bathroom thus eliminating a trip hazard.

Non-Stop Locksmith, a local locksmith vendor, came onsite ensuring all keys and locks are working properly throughout the clubhouse and annex buildings. As one can imagine, the Association in-stalled new hardware on all doors and therefore had to ensure all are working right. During the same time Non-Stop Locksmith was here, Asphalt Mainte-nance, a local asphalt maintenance vendor, fixed the small hole in the paved section of the parking lot. As you may recall, the dent in the road was caused by one of the corners of the trailer which was used as the temporary office. Finally, Pressure Perfect, a pressure cleaning company, made sure to clean the clubhouse parking lot. More specifically, Pressure Perfect focused on the parking lot’s pavers which were impacted the most from the construc-tion project.

As advised by a member of the Design Group during last month’s Board of Director’s meeting, this is an ongoing project and while many tasks were accom-plished there are several more ahead of us. We in-vite you to come and enjoy LakeRidge Falls’ new amenities center and thank you at the same time for your understanding and patience during this work in progress.

Phone Lines – As reported recently, our phone lines were down for a few days. Although they scheduled service appointments, Spectrum’s service techni-cians failed to show up. Eventually and on the third try, we were able to have a technician come on site. It took the technician a couple of hours to over-come the problem, but in the end, the phone sys-tem is up and running again. What we did learn out of this ordeal, and actually a few from the past few months, that something had to be done to over-come the dependency the Association has with some of its vendors such as Spectrum. Therefore, the Board of Directors gave instruction to convert all gate communication systems into a Serial Over Ethernet system.

Without going into too many details, after all it is way over my level of understanding, we used to send data to the gates using a modem dial-up sys-tem. In other words, each time we programmed a new FOB key or RFID sticker we transfer the new

Continued on Page 7

information to the gates pretty much the same way someone is sending a fax. As with sending a fax message, this process was slow, to say the least. Another problem we faced was the issue mentioned above. Each time a dedicated phone line and/or a modem on one of the gates was down, we were unable to program new FOB keys or RFID stickers for this gate. As many new residents came to learn firsthand, this was the main problem we faced when the phone was down at the annex building during the renovation project. In these kinds of situ-ations, we were at the grace of Spectrum.

Therefore, all gates that are operated by a FOB key or an RFID sticker were converted to the new Serial Over Ethernet system. This simple transition means that now all data is transferred to gates using our internal internet system. One benefit of the new system is that it is much faster than the previous system. Moreover, we are no longer dependent on one vendor. Unlike with Spectrum’s semi monopoly, there are several companies in our area that can service the new system. The final and most signifi-cant benefit of this transition is that we are no long-er required to have a phone/modem service at each gate. This means a savings of about 200 dollars a month for all the converted gates. As someone fa-mous once said: technology is our friend.

Security Form – Every so often we ask that resi-dents update their Resident Security Form. If the gatehouse does not have a residents’ current ap-proved guest list and/or updated phone num-bers, delays in admitting residents and guests are unavoidable. Using an example from the past, please consider this. The gatehouse is not informed in advance when a vendor is expected by a resident. As one may expect, the security officer on duty would then attempt to reach out to the resident in order to verify if she or he is expecting the vendor. Unfortunately, there are incidents in which the phone numbers on record are invalid. Therefore, the security officer is left with no other choice but to refuse access which makes all parties involved unhappy.

Here is yet another example using an incident that took place recently. An individual stopped at the gatehouse to visit a relative who is a resident of the community. This individual assumed he was on the resident’s approved guest list. However, he was not. The reason the guest assumed that is because the previous gatehouse captain, Mr. Tim Clark,

P A G E 7

came to know this individual who visited the resi-dent on a regular basis. Even though Mr. Clark asked the resident to update the guest list several times, it was not done. To provide the best custom-er service as possible, Mr. Clark admitted this guest despite the fact the resident failed to update the guest list. When Allied Universal Security Services selected a new captain, Mr. Scott Stillwell, to take over Mr. Tim Clark’s position, this knowledge was lost. After all, Mr. Clark can’t take it upon himself to update residents’ guest lists. When Mr. Stillwell attempted to follow the gatehouse post orders by calling the resident, the guest got upset, used foul language, and demanded to be admitted without delay. When investigating this matter, we learned that the resident’s guest list had not been updated since 2010.

Therefore, please make sure to complete or update your security form and turn it into the gatehouse. You can find an online copy of the security form at http://www.lakeridgefalls.org/governance/forms/. Failing to follow this request may delay/deny the entry of a guest or a vendor. Following this simple procedure will prevent unpleasant situations, as described before, from occurring. It will also guar-antee that your guests’ and vendors’ experience at the gatehouse is pleasant and quick. Finally, it will ensure LakeRidge Falls will continue to be a safe place to live. Thank you in advance for your under-standing and cooperation on this matter.

Trespasser – Staying on the same topic, we got a report last month that an individual was walking door to door attempting to solicit business for a window product of some sort. Of course, this indi-vidual entered the community without permission and without going through the gatehouse first. At that moment, a phone call was placed to the Mana-tee County Sheriff Office reporting a trespasser. A few minutes passed and this individual was con-fronted by one of LakeRidge Falls’ residents who demanded he leave the community. And indeed, this individual left the community before deputies were able to arrive on scene. While the resident showed courage and perseverance, we urge all resi-dents not to confront trespassers. Instead, please call the Sheriff Office immediately. Please, your safety and health are more important. The good news is that via the security cameras, the Associa-tion was able to obtain valuable information on this individual. Of course, the Association will take the appropriate actions to ensure this person and/or his potential senders will not come back any time

soon.

Hurricane Preparation – As we hoped and prayed for, Hurricane Dorian passed Florida without impacting Sar-asota. Nevertheless, we came to learn a valuable les-son. In the days leading to the projected arrival of Dori-an, members of the Hurricane Preparedness Group and other concerned residents noticed that some residents failed to secure some of their personal property, such as outdoor furniture, garden decor, planting pots, lawn supplies (i.e. mainly water hoses), etc. As one can im-agine, these items can blow away during heavy winds and thus pose danger to nearby properties. In the fu-ture, we ask that residents please do not overlook or ignore this issue. Please, make sure to bring in or secure all outdoor objects before hurricane warning. Thank you in advance for your attention and understanding over this matter.

Civility – In recent weeks we were facing several inci-dents which involved incivility. Here are a handful of examples of these incidents: a guest who used foul lan-guage towards one of the guards because he was not admitted fast enough; a resident who yelled at another guard because the guard failed to recognize him; a resi-dent who yelled at the landscape manager after he did-n’t get the answer he hoped for; a resident who yelled at a landscaping crew leader because he didn’t trim the shrubs they way she wanted; a resident who flipped the bird at a security camera for whatever the reason; a resident who called another resident “evil” while pass-ing by; a resident who called a vendor a “scammer” be-cause her backflow failed the certification test; etc. Un-fortunately, there are more examples, some far more significant and extreme than the ones mentioned above, however, we are sure the general idea is clear.

People can get frustrated and upset over things that are out of their control. It is therefore understandable, not to mean acceptable, that such frustration can lead individuals to act in unpleasant ways. After all, we are all human. When facing incidents as mentioned above, I always remember what LakeRidge Falls’ former resi-dent and president, Mr. Grover Young, wrote in one of his Now You Know articles at the Falls Forum: Respect others. Pay attention. Think positively. He urged resi-dents to practice respect and civility throughout the community by sticking to these three simple ideas. The current Board of Directors asks of you to do the same. As Mr. Young once summarized one of his articles using a quote from Matt Ridley’s book, The Rational Optimist, “[n]o charity ever raised money by saying things are getting better. No journalist ever got the front-page writing about how a disaster was now less likely. Don’t be browbeaten—dare to be an optimist!”

Hearing Aid?

by Jackie Hathaway, Chair

Dues are $10 for the year, please make check payable to Lakeridge Falls Art League. You may give your check to Alice Dorn, Treasurer. As usual, if you have any questions, contact Jackie Hathaway, President, at jackhath1@hotmail.com or 941-456-3102.

Hearing loss is a problem that resides in the ears, but also in the brain. The auditory cortex in the brain adjusts and copes when someone has hearing loss. So when a hearing aid is used and sounds are sent to the brain at a closer to normal volume and clearness, the brain can react in almost a surprised way. The surprised brain will result in things sounding too loud, or the tone of your voice sounding like you’re in a barrel. Things like the sound of the wind might even be alarming to you at first, since it’s been a while since you’ve been able to clearly hear them. Don’t worry though, this will go away. The brain will adjust, and everything will start to sound normal again. But be patient, and realize that the more you wear your hearing aids the more your brain will get used to it. Wear your hearing aids for a few hours the first day and add an hour a day until you’re wearing them most of the time that you are awake. Strike up conversation to see how it feels to be speaking to someone. Wait a few weeks until you try them out in a noisy environment as it can be overwhelming for new users at first.
