Keeping an eye on Hurricane Irene
As most of you are aware, a hurricane is projected to hit Florida early Friday Morning. As of right now they are saying it will be a category 2 when it makes landfall in Florida. Every day I will be posting to the Blog updates about the storm and reminders of storm preparation. We all know that it is still early and a lot can change from now to Friday. The best thing to do is prepare but not panic. The association is already taking certain measures to prepare for the storm such as topping off the generator and fire pump diesel tanks, prepping the janitorial staff for securing the property, such as the pool decks, clubhouse and lobbies, having the elevators park at P2 in case of flooding among other things. The best place to monitor the Hurricane is the Weather Channel. Again, it is still early and Irene's path is subject to change. A few things all residents can do to prepare is make sure all flash lights have batteries and are in good working order and getting a few gallons of bottled water. Once the storm gets closer, please remove all lanai furniture, potted plants and fan blades. All of these items can become dangerous projectiles during a storm.


Stairwell Doors
Security has been noticing someone propping open the stairwell #1 door on the East Tower with a rock. These stairwell doors are locked for security purposes. Please ensure that front doors, garage doors, stairwell doors and gates remain closed at all times as Security will remove any items that are holding doors open during their patrols of the property.

New Exit Push Buttons
New push buttons have been installed for the gates at the back of the property.

Landscape
The landscape company will be spraying for weeds in the pavers and the beds again Monday August 22nd.

Owner and Resident Communication
I am looking for new ways to better communicate with all residents to make sure you are being made aware of any and all Association News. The blogs that I write are posted online at http://nsyca.blogspot.com/ and emailed to all residents that have provided me with email address. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. In the past, residents have requested a TV channel for the association. Proposals were received and the Board opted not to proceed with project as it would only be good for those that are on the property and the emails/blog reach all residents wherever they are. Thanks!
