C OMMUNIT Y ASSOCIA TION It’s back to reality now.
The Board was busy since the last
meeting. Here’s an update.
by Tim Hernandez LPRs. The Flock Safety License Plate Readers (LPRs) are still in permitting at the City of
President Fort Lauderdale so they obviously are still not installed. We are installing six (6) LPRs
in strategic locations. But we have many streets in the neighborhood, far more than
OFFICERS six, and the Board has discussed creating an incentive program that would help
Tim Hernandez, President encourage homeowners to band together and get one installed on their streets if they
timhernandez@bellsouth.net
want. The cost is about $2500 per year for an LPR. So, for example, on a canal street
Karen Polivka, Vice President that might have 20 homes, it could cost around $200 per house per year to get one

on your street, assuming 50% participation and some sort of subsidy from the
Craig Singer, Treasurer Association. Our goal is to make this Fort Lauderdale’s safest neighborhood. The
csinger2500@outlook.com
police believe LPRs are both deterrents and effective crime solving tools.

Ridge Country Club on Saturday, February 22, 2025 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS This event is free for paid Security Patrol (SP) and HOA members. This will be a
Jonathan Brody nice event with food and drinks. It’s a good excuse to join and a way to meet your
jbrody@brodylegal.com
neighbors. We want to do this every year as a way to reward SP/HOA members
Renata Cammarata and build more community. Going forward, the Board voted to eliminate the option
renatarealtor1@gmail.com
to be just an HOA member. The cost of the HOA, now including the security patrol,
Judy High will remain at $550 per household for 2025, despite the fact more neighborhoods
judyahigh@gmail.com
(including Coral Ridge to our south) are establishing security patrol programs to
Robert Mayo
rokema@outlook.com increase police presence. Also keep in mind the cost to us is being raised to $70
per hour (we started out at $45 per hour three years ago when we launched the
Brian O’Connell
boconn4404@aol.com program). We have about 275 members (out of about 1250 single family homes in
the neighborhood). We need more members to be able to increase hours of patrol.

Bruce Quailey been working with the City of Fort Lauderdale on various code enforcement matters,

provided this interpretation on the issue that is currently used by enforcement staff.
