Mike Bono reported he and Mike Annichiarico met at the back gate to discuss the issues with the access. Discussion was held on ways to eliminate the vehicular access from entering or exiting the gate in the wrong manner. Options for traffic control devices was discussed to keep waiting vehicles from entering the wrong way as the access control device would block the vehicle from cutting across to the wrong side. Management will contact vendors for examples and costs of traffic devices.
Mike Annichiarico reported on the camera situation. The current camera was installed in 2001 and is not up to the current technology. Mike met with Tri-City Electric to give an estimate for the installation of a new camera system with digital, hi-resolution features. The camera would also work at a wide angle to capture tag numbers for gate violators. Discussion was held on the gate violators and it was noted the Lake Mary Police Department will not provide tag number information. Management has contacted the Department of Motor Vehicles and will send a request tot the state for the tag numbers.
Other ideas were discussed for the gate area and another idea was to extend the median at the back gate and add curbing and plant material.
