I approve security cameras for the Package and Mail Center.
	Security cameras at the Package and Mail Center will serve as a deterrent to personal crime and vandalism. Security consultants have told us that cameras will likely prevent a lot more crime than they record. A camera will also secure USPS deliveries which are mostly made to the package and mail center now. Additionally, resident can direct their Amazon, UPS, FedEx packages to this camera secured area. Twenty-seven (27) packages were stolen from resident doorsteps in 2017 (prior to building the mail room). A central security system will be more effective than single doorbell cameras which can be defeated with flashlights and/or quick grab and dash thefts (in and out before the camera activates). The design is for 2-4 cameras, and local or cloud recording. The camera in the mail room currently, is fake.
		I approve a security camera system - add $0.61 per week.
		I do not approve adding cameras - add $0.00 per week

Choose between approving the capital reserve study or hiring an outside consultant to perform a study.
	The Covenant and Restriction Declaration require that the Capital Reserve allocations be based on a reserve study made of all the major capital systems in the association that may require repair or replacement within 30 years and thereafter the Association shall include as part of its Annual Assessment an amount which is reasonably necessary to achieve an adequate reserve fund for the periodic maintenance, repair and replacement of improvements to the Common Properties. An in-house Capital Reserve study was completed and approved a vote of owners in January 2011 (96% to 4%). An updated in-house reserve study has now been completed and approved by the board and was published for owner review on January 2, 2018. The 2018 recommendation is to increase the reserve rate to $126 per household recommended in 2010 and with a 6% increase (of the reserve rate) in each following years for 10 years. An alternative to the board plan would be to hire an engineering firm to conduct a reserve study. These studies are valuable and cost between $3,500 and $4,000.
		I approve the 2018 reserve study - add $0.00 per week
		I approve an independent study be conducted - add $0.81 per week.

My security gate opinions and preferences
	Sixty percent of owners have expressed interest in an electronic gate for image, security, and/or controlling traffic. A rear exit gate was voted on in 2017 and lost 42%/58% - by 11 votes. The following opinion questions are to determine the style best style suited for Beverly Oaks. Please vote for what you think is best for the community overall. The boards believes that an entry gate is provides image, security, and helps eliminate unwanted traffic. The downside is coordinating guests and deliveries as those vehicles will need to call you to have the gate opened remotely by your phone. Vehicles will block the entry lane while waiting for entry. When the gate breaks down (they all do), owners will need to know how to manually lock the gate in an upright position for everyone to pass through until it is repaired. An exit gate is specifically for reducing drive-through traffic. There will be no need to coordinate guests or deliveries and no lane lines. When the gate breaks down, owners can reroute to the front exit until the gate is repaired. An exit gate is more prone to gate ramming by drive-through traffic.
If a gate is approved, what type of gate do you prefer:
		Gate at the entry.
		Gate at the exit.
If a gate is approved, which best describes your feelings:
		I am prepared to go with the majority choice
		I have very strong feelings against an entry gate
		I have very strong feelings against an exit gate
I approve investing in an electric traffic gate as follows:
		Install a gate in 2019 - add $2.63 per week in 2019
		Install a gate in 2020 - add $1.32 per week in 2019, 2020
		Install a gate in 2021 - add $0.88 per week in 2019, 2020, 2021
		Install a gate in 2022 - add $0.66 per week in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
		Install a gate in 2023 - add $0.53 per week in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
		No gate, please.
