Dear Members, We are embarking on a new year and the Board and HOA management look forward to continued enjoyment of our association’s amenities and the development of our overall Master Plan for expanding the club facilities.

In early December, the Natomas Park Homeowners Association received an award as the “2011 Community Association of the Year” in 2011. The award was presented by the Community Associations Institute – California North Chapter (CAI-CNC). The CAI-CNC serves the educational, business, and networking needs of community associations in Northern California. Our chapter encompasses twenty-two counties including the greater Sacramento region, southwest to Elk Grove, the area east to the Tahoe region, and counties north to the Oregon / California border. This award represents the outstanding work being accomplished by our management team and the positive atmosphere presented by club staff and feedback by homeowners. Please stop by The Club and see the award we received displayed near the workout room. We will again be heating the Lap Pool in January on a test basis. If there is an acceptable utilization in January, we will continue heating the pool into February and the following months if the demand continues at an acceptable level. Also, in January we will be hosting a Wine Dinner on the 21st, Family Bingo on Friday the 6th, and Cash Bingo on Friday the 20th.

In closing, the Board and Management hope that you have a wonderful and prosperous New Year. Chuck Cunningham

President, Natomas Park Master Association

Written by Paladin Security

Personal security is such a vexing and elu-sive state of being. One minute, life seems warm and cozy

and the next, the end of the world seems to be crashing in. Homeowners associations are often called on to pro-vide security for the community.

Security is mostly perception, that perception works both sides of the street; resident’s perception and bad guy’s perception. Both can perceive a secure environment but not necessar-ily at the same time. For example, a resident may feel secure because of a new video surveillance system. The intruder laughs because the whole system can be neutralized easily or has major gaps.

One thing is clear. The association needs to be careful about preempting local law enforcement, especially when we're talking about breaking and entering or physical altercations. Doing so may expose the association to additional liability. There have been a number of significant court cases that found the association re-sponsible for facilitating assaults, rapes and other violent crimes by fail-ing to provide promised "security". In most of those cases, claims of com-munity security were over inflated. The Association should never make such boasts.

On the other hand, the association should be conscious of the security issue and make the buildings and grounds reasonably safe and secure. There are many relatively inexpensive things the association and the resi-dents can do. Normal security meas-ures rarely work for long because, as the saying goes, "Locks only keep your friends out". Residents are often the worst gap in security. They leave gates and garage doors open, hand out keys and codes, and rarely question strangers or strange vehicles even if they see them breaking into someone's car.

For this weak link, a Neighborhood Watch Committee is helpful. If resi-dent security is lax, individuals can be reminded personally or periodic re-minders sent or posted about specific security issues. The Committee's job is to keep residents aware, not scared. Information distribution and meetings are particularly effective following a crime. The Committee can also host meetings with guest speakers like po-lice, detectives and security compa-nies. We all know what we should do. Reminders help keep us better secu-rity focused.

While cameras and guards seem like a good idea, bad guys rarely parade in plain view. It's better to have residents make repeated calls to local police requesting more frequent patrols. Po-lice do count the calls in determining where they should place patrols. An-other cheap and effective security measure is posting highly visible "24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE" signs. If the bad guys can read, a fair number of them are deterred. Fake video cam-eras in visible locations with red blinking lights also work. The fact that there is neither 24 hour surveil-lance nor real cameras doesn't inform the criminal of that. If you can deter 3 out of 5, you've just reduce crime by 60%.

Security is mostly perception. While the association can pay for security services, the guards can't be every-where at once. And you can buy ex-pensive security cameras and record-ers but who's going to monitor the equipment? And even if you catch someone on camera, the chances are slim you can identify them.

The association should provide a rea-sonable cost effective level of safety and security but resident’s need to be sensible. Exterior lighting should be well placed and working. Gates and locks should be heavy duty. Land-scaping should be trimmed to reduce cover and to allow light to disperse.

HOA Security Perception continued from pg 5…

Installation of motion sensor lights can help to deter the bad guys. Get the resident’s security perception in align-ment with the intruder’s.

ADDRESS THE THREAT 1) Windows a) Obscure outside to inside visibility.

Basically, the objective is to pre-vent a would-be intruder from con-ducting reconnaissance.

If the potential intruder cannot estab-lish your daily pattern then it will be much more difficult for the bad guy(s) to formulate an entry plan.

2) Doors a) If your doors have windows in

them, you should use the same tac-tics from the windows section. Ba-sically, 1) you don't want folks to be able to see in, 2) you want them to see some indication that your windows and doors are protected by a recognized alarm system brand, and 3) you want them to see some indication that the window is safety glass, or in someway hard-ened against removal and that the process would in fact NOT be quick, but excessively time con-suming and noisy.

b) You want the door to appear to be metal or at least solid wood. If the hinges happen to be on the outside, drill 3 or 4 holes along the length of the door and add nails into the swinging part of the door so when closed, go into the drilled holes. This way if the pins from the hinges are removed, the nails in the

jam will prevent the door from be-ing removed from the hinges. You also want the would-be attacker to KNOW that this has been done so they don't bother trying to remove the door and causing damage in the process. This can be accomplished with a sticker or some writing indi-cating "these hinges have been aug-mented with security devices de-signed to prevent the door from being removed by defeating the hinges".

c) You want the door to have a dead-bolt, and a separate latch associated with the opening mechanism. Basi-cally, the more hardware extruding from the door into the door jam, the more widely dispersed the im-pact point would be in the event a battering technique is used to break the door down. If you don't use this door often, or if you are "in for the evening", you can also employ a door bracer bar which attaches at one end to the floor and the other end to the door to further absorb batter energy, almost guaranteeing that the door jam will not have a chance to fail.

d) You want the door and the jam ex-trusion points to be shielded with metal when possible. Optimally a metal door and metal jam. These can resist even the most effective battering rams, and are almost im-possible for amateur battering tech-niques to defeat. However, this is expensive and may not be feasible for your circumstances.

...to be continued next issue.

Seeking District E Alternate Delegate What is a Delegate? 

 

A delegate’s role is to vote on be-half of all members within his or her district on certain association issues as need arises. One of the most im-portant obligations of a delegate is the election of Directors to the Board. Each district has one pri-mary and one alternate delegate in place. The alternate will stand in to perform the duties of the primary delegate when he/she is unavailable and and is encouraged to attend monthly delegate meetings. If you are interested, please contact the management office at 925-9200 for more information.

Happy New Year

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your

neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.

As we move into the New Year the big test for each of us will be our determi-nation to continue with our New Year’s resolutions. Typically we see a

major decrease in attendance in the Fitness Center by the end of Febru-ary. As we all know, the benefits of regular exercise is crucial to our health as well as other important benefits that come from exercise. We hear all the time that individu-als who work out follow a regular fitness schedule find that they sleep better and perform better at work. If you haven’t taken advantage of the “free” 45-minute training ses-sion with staff trainer Juliet, please schedule a time to do so. Call (916) 284-0734 to set up an appointment.

Meeting with a trainer can insure that you are using the different equipment correctly and also help keep you motivated. If you need the extra push for motivation, con-tact one of The Club’s personal trainers to sign up for regular per-sonal training. The Club is also offering a new quarterly training class called “NP90 Fitness Chal-lenge” for a fee. The first quarter session is already full but reserva-tions for the next session, are being taken. Contact Bo Banks at (916) 928-6833 if you would like more information or to register for the next session which begins the first week of April.

The Club is also exploring swim programs during the winter months to provide additional exercise op-portunities for those who prefer an

aquatic work out. Master Swim Program and Youth Swim Training are being considered. Both pro-grams will be supervised by River City Aquatics with a potential start date of January 31st and will be held in the clubs heated Lap Pool. Addi-tional information about these pro-grams can be located on page 8 of this newsletter or you can go to River City Aquatic’s website www.rivercityaquaticsinc.com to register.

Team member, Bill Bernard was nominated as “Employee of the Quarter” for his outstanding efforts in the maintenance department dur-ing the third quarter. Please join me in congratulating Bill for his efforts!

Hello from Neighborhood Services!

As many of you are aware the region of Sacramento is being hard hit by copper thefts. Re-cently arrests were made in the River Oaks community because of the quick thinking of a witness that contacted the Police Department to report the two subjects. The suspects were found in the area and arrested. Please be aware of your commu-nity and report suspicious activities that just don’t seem to be “right”. Report to the police a crime in pro-gress 911 or 732-0100 by cell, police non-emergency 264-5471 and everything else city related 311 or 264-5011. By working together in our neighborhoods we can continue striving to maintain and improve the quality of life in our communities.

Stolen Vehicle Recovered on Arches Circle Paladin Officers responded to a call of a parking complaint on Arches Circle in late October. Upon arriving on scene the Paladin Officer noticed the vehicle was actively blocking a driveway and had a landscaping logo with phone num-ber on the tail gate. The Paladin Officer contacted the landscape company via phone and discovered from the owner of the company that the vehicle had been stolen earlier in the day. The Paladin Officer proceeded to contact the Sacra-mento Police who advised the vehicle was confirmed stolen and had been util-ized in an armed robbery earlier in the day. Immediately additional Paladin Of-ficers were called to the area and maintained observation over the area as well as the vehicle. Once the Sacramento Police arrived on scene they impounded the vehicle as evidence. Structure Fire on Banderas Way In early November a Paladin Officer and a Sacramento Police Officer who were working morning traffic at Heron school observed smoking rising from a home on Banderas Way. They headed towards the scene and discovered a residential garage completely engulfed in flames. They made attempts to ensure no persons were inside, but were unable to make entry due to the severity of the fire. They established a perimeter around the home to ensure bystanders didn’t enter the scene and they notified the Sacramento Fire Department. Once on scene the Fire Department was able to extinguish the fire and discovered no persons were in-jured and the owners had not been home. Officials are investigating the source of the fire, but there were no obvious signs of criminal conduct. Vacant Home Used as Party House on Halloween On Halloween night residents from Harwood Way reported observing a group of juveniles heading into the backyard of a known vacant home. Moments later an estimated 20 juveniles emerged from the residence and departed the area in at least three different vehicles. Residents were unable to provide a description of the juvenile suspects or their vehicles. As Paladin responded we notified the Sacramento Police, but upon arriving we found the suspects were already gone. A search of the home revealed the suspects had broken into the residence through the side garage door. Odors of marijuana were detected inside the home and graffiti was found on the garage door. No other damage or contraband was found. Paladin assisted neighbors in securing the home via wood panels and the owner was notified. Paladin Officer Extinguishes Trash Can Fire In late November a Paladin Officer was patrolling along North Bend Drive when he heard several loud bangs inside North Natomas Community Park. Upon investigating the area the Paladin Officer discovered a trash can inside the park set ablaze. The Paladin Officer immediately radioed for Paladin Dispatch to notify the Sacramento Fire Department. He also retrieved the fire extin-guisher from his patrol car and attempted to extinguish the fire before it spread. His efforts were successful and the fire was quickly extinguished. Once on scene the Sacramento Fire Department assessed the damage and ensured no other fires were present in the area.
