The FSR Safety Committee is preparing neighborhood-wide safety and crime prevention initiatives for the HOA Board's consideration. The committee supports the following programs for 2009:
1. Upgrade the entry/exit video system.
2. Embed reflectors or apply reflective paint on median curbs at Finesilver Dr. intersections and on Atwell Pk.
3. Purchase child ID/fingerprint and safety kits for distribution during neighborhood events.
4. Paint house numbers on curbs; local scouts may provide labor as a service project.
The total cost for these initiatives is an estimated $3600.
The committee will also seek approval for a longer term project to improve neighborhood lighting. This includes updating existing streetlights with more efficient bulbs and adding lights at intersections and other vulnerable areas. Options to mitigate light pollution are under consideration.
The committee will continue to monitor and direct Blue Armor Security patrol schedules to optimize coverage and limit expenses.
The board will vote on the initiatives during meetings to be held during October and November.

I was wondering if periodically we could somehow catch the license plates of the cars that blow through the stop sign at Bakerswood and publish the plate information in the following newsletter. Sometimes it might be a teenage driver and the parent be unaware. By publishing the license plate we might be able to change the behavior. If it is an adult maybe just knowing they will be identified in the newsletter would work. I figured for legal purpose we would have to have a photo to prove the incident. Just a thought.
Sheila, the FSR Board and the FSR Safety Committee share your concern. Procedures are in place for residents to report traffic violations they observe to the association management company.
When a violation is observed, call Association Management Services, 829-7202, and provide the license plate number, vehicle description, and as many details of the infraction as possible.
AMS will consider the merit of the complaint and, when possible and as appropriate, will send a warning letter to the offending household. Subsequent violations result in fines assessed by the board in accordance with the appropriate covenant.
Violators may appeal warnings and fines to the board.
Blue Armor security officers have increased traffic enforcement this month. Watch for the September committee report for an evaluation of this effort.
