Security in the Colony

We, the undersigned, are requesting increased security at both our gates as well as showing our Bay Club ID or having to swipe a card at the door when we utilize the Bay Club. It has come to our attention that people from Pelican Landing, the Hyatt, and as far away as the community of Rapallo, are utilizing the Bay Club. They bike in or walk in and come to our "breakfast" in the morning. In the evening, they come for a sunset and a drink on the 3rd floor and leave. They also have dinner on the 3rd floor. Since they pay by cash, there is no indication they are not residents. There is also a problem with residents from other communities who are on our permanent lists--they have access as well and using the Bay Club. In addition, non-equity Colony golf members are utilizing the Bay Club.Therefore, we need increased security at our gates. Other communities have gates across their walkways and a sensor that goes off in the guard house as someone bikes/walks into the community. If we cannot swipe our card at the door to gain access to the Bay Club, as we do at the workout center, then the staff at the Bay Club should be required to check ID's and asking for an ID when drinks or food are purchased, even though the individual is paying by cash. We know this could be an inconvenience to the residents, but we need to deter those who do not belong and pay the dues we pay in order to use the Bay Club.Ryan Morris, who is the Privacy Manager, said that an increased security system was presented to The Colony and it was not entertained. We are asking for increased security. A gate on the walkway at both entrances to our community, as well as a sensor that goes off in the security booth as someone walks by to alert the guard so they may ask for ID. In addition, swiping a card at the Bay Club entrance to gain access.The next meeting of Security will be held on Monday, February 27th at 8:30 am at the Community Center. At this time, the e-petition will be presented. We encourage all to attend. Please forward this petition to all Colony residents.
