President’s Message

hanks to everyone who attended (in person or via Zoom) our first annual
meeting in two years. I received numerous comments that it was the most
Tinformative meeting ever. We had 86 residents attend in person and quite a
few more by Zoom. Some people attempted to join the zoom meeting after it started
and unfortunately were unable to do so; we apologize for that. Detailed meeting
minutes are provided on page 10.

We covered a lengthy list of topics. We have a very responsive set of representatives
at the City, County and State levels in Heather Moraitis, Lamar Fisher and Chip
LaMarca, respectively, who all took time out of their hectic schedules to attend the
meeting in person.
We had Steve Hillberg from the City’s Public Works and Kristin Thompson of the
City’s Transportation and Mobility Departments in attendance to provide updates on
Tim Hernandez the Bayview Drive dips and the forthcoming traffic calming and safety enhancement
President
projects (speed cushions, roundabouts, sidewalks, etc.)
Board member Jason Ulbrich made a presentation on homeless and panhandling
issues and what can be proactively done by businesses to deter this from happening
on their properties.

And finally, we heard a presentation from Lt. DeAnna Greenlaw on the new Security
Patrol program. The Security Patrol Committee (Board members Vicki Lynch, Paige
O’Mahoney, Karen Polivka, Michele Allen and Brian O’Connell) have put in
months of effort launching the program, which should be underway by the time you
OFFICERS read this. Approximately 200 households have signed up for the program, which
was our initial goal to initiate the patrols. But that only gets us about 33 hours of
Bruce Quailey
Vice President patrols per week. We would like to see more coverage and the only way we can
expand the hours is if more households sign up. We have about 1250 single family
Jeff Stich homes in the neighborhood, so 200 households represent only about 16% of the
Treasurer
neighborhood, meaning 84% of the households have yet to sign up.
Vicki Lynch How does this compare to other neighborhoods who have implemented patrols?
Secretary
Rio Vista has about a 50% participation rate, Sunrise Intracoastal has over a 90%
OFFICERS participation rate, and Bermuda Riviera has over a 72% participation rate. If
we can get even to 50%, we’ll be able to nearly triple the hours of patrol. That’s
Michele Allen
important because we have a large neighborhood with several unconnected
Jonathan Brody
sections (the finger canal lots, the area north of the golf course and south of Bayview
Renata Cammarata
Park, the area south of the golf course and the area north and west of the golf
Judy High
course). It takes a long time to patrol every street.
