Clubhouse Entry System
What: The board approved replacing the prior lock and key with the same keycard access used for the pool and tennis courts. This system allows specific user access to be granted when the clubhouse has been rented.
Why: The prior system was very insecure, with many people in the neighborhood having the lockbox access code. Additionally, at various times, the key went missing, or the lockbox was inoperable which led to added costs to the community and prevented desired clubhouse access.
Cost: Approximately $5,700
