National Night Out Turn Out

Our thanks to the large number of Arbor Greene residents

who participated in Arbor Greene’s first National Night Out –

a night out against crime. We were fortunate to have multiple

professional, friendly, and informative Tampa Police Officers who

attended our event. The Tampa Police Department’s (TPD) equine

unit’s two horses and riders did an excellent exhibition of their and

the horses’ skills. These horses are so well trained that they are

used for search and rescues, parades, and in Ybor City at closing

time.

A canine officer was very informative regarding his and his dog’s

training and duties. This police dog is trained in search and rescue,

and detection of narcotics and explosives. Two Rapid Offender Con-

trol Squads officers explained their duties and answered the resi-

dents’ questions. A motorcycle

officer gave a very nice presenta-

tion and provided backpacks with

various goodies. Two TPD’s cri-

sis/hostage unit members gave a

briefing and tour of their mobile command center vehicle. Last but not least,

our senior Neighborhood Watch Association representative and TPD Dis-

trict-2 leadership made crime prevention presentations.

Congratulations to the raffle winners of several security items. Thanks also

to the Arbor Greene Clubhouse staff who helped prepare for this event,

which was a great success.

Community Activities Message from the Arbor Greene HOA

What to do if you get a Violation Notice from the

HOA?

The Arbor Greene HOA urges all homeowners to be

responsible and take care of issues around the home in

order to avoid receiving a violation notice.

- If you do receive a violation notice, the best thing is to

correct the violation right away.

- If immediately correcting the violation is not possible,

notify Ameri-Tech and give them an estimated date of

completion (especially if the work requires hiring a

landscaper or contractor).

- If the HOA does not see compliance or hear from a

homeowner within the given timeframe, we have to

continue to spend money sending violation notices

which may result in higher HOA fees.

- Ultimately, if the HOA has to refer the matter to the

Violations Committee for fining, take legal action or

abate the situation, this can be very costly to the home

owner (who is responsible for these fines/fees).

So far this year, approximately 970 violation letters

have been sent to homeowners. That is nearly 140 per

month. Please do your part to keep our HOA fees down.

In order to avoid receiving a violation notice, here is a

checklist of items for each homeowner to evaluate on

their property.

- Is the lawn mowed, edged, weeded, and/or are there

any dead areas that need to be re-sodded?

- Are bushes trimmed?

- Are there weeds in the landscape beds?

- Does mulch need to be added (note: only pine bark

mulch is allowed)?

- Does the house need painting?

- Is the mailbox painted, clean, and is the post in good

shape?

- Do trees need trimming?

- Are driveways/sidewalks and roofs clean or do they

need power washing?

- Are hoses/trash containers concealed from view?

- Are cars blocking the sidewalks at end of driveway?

If you have any questions or concerns about HOA is-

sues, please contact Jeff Couturier, Ameri-Tech Prop-

erty Management at 813-968-8008 ext: 102, or e-

mail: [email protected]

September 22nd at 7PM, in the Gathering Room of the

tion, please contact Carol at 994-7312.

Great Tax-Deductible Employee Benefit

Which Can be Limited to One or More

Executives and their Spouses

The government is expecting crushing long-term care

costs, so it has created a tremendous incentive for busi-

ness owners to buy LTC insurance (LTCi). Often, the

LTCi premiums are entirely deductible to the business

with no taxation to the executive, neither when the

premium is paid, nor when benefits are received. Learn

more today! Ask for a complimentary proposal for your

business.

Remember, the earlier you buy LTCi, the less it costs

and the more benefits you secure.

To discuss your options, or to make an appointment,

call today. Ask for Frank at:

Channel 95 is Now on the Web

Great news residents!! Channel

95 is now on the Arbor Greene

Website. Arbor Greene realized

that not all homeowners have

Brighthouse Television, so we

decided to have it available to

everyone in our Community and

put it on the website. Channel 95 is located on the home

page under “Message Center” and select the Channel 95

Labor Day

The first Labor Day in the United

States was celebrated on Septem-

ber 5, 1882 in New York City. In

the aftermath of the deaths of a

number of workers during the

1894 Pullman Strike, President

Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with Labor as a top

political priority.

Traditionally, Labor Day is celebrated by most Ameri-

cans as the symbolic end of the summer. The holiday is

often regarded as a day of rest and parades. Forms of

celebration include picnics, barbecues, fireworks dis-

plays, water sports, and public art events. Families with

school-age children take it as the last chance to travel

before the end of the summer recess. Similarly, some

teenagers and young adults view it as the last weekend

for parties before returning to school. However, start

dates for schools vary widely.

In U.S. sports, Labor Day marks the beginning of the

NFL and college football seasons. NCAA teams usually

play their first games the week before Labor Day, with

the NFL traditionally playing their first game the Thurs-

day following Labor Day. *www.wikipedia.com

Do you remember the rule about not wearing white

shoes after Labor Day? Then the rule grew into not

wearing any white at all and that became the new cus-

tom. There are so many silly reasons why not to wear

white, but the only one that makes some sense is due to

temperature. The color white reflects light and heat, so

by wearing white in the winter would make you cooler,

and I don’t know anyone who would want to be cooler

in the winter!!

The Arbor Greene Administration will be closed on

September 6th, but the Club will be opened from 8AM-

8PM.

The Gate House Number Change

The Arbor Greene CDD Gate House phone number will

change and will no longer be available to callers effec-

tive October 1st.

The guards’ functions are to greet and account for visi-

tors entering the community. With an average of over

800 visitors per day entering the community, answering

the telephone from callers with questions not related to

their primary duties is disruptive and slows the process-

ing of visitors into the community.

Residents expecting visitors or guests between 10PM

and 6AM should provide a written list to the guards

containing the names of their guests and their expected

arrival time. The list may be delivered to the guards at

the gate house or submitted on-line using the CDD

Online Contact Request Form and “select” Contact

CDD on the Arbor Greene website at

www.ArborGreene.org. The guest information is re-

quired if the resident does not want to receive a call

from the guards to obtain permission for the guests to

enter the community during the hours above. The on-

line form must be submitted prior to 3:30PM on the day

of and prior to the arrival of their guests.

A Message from the Neighborhood Watch Directors It’s that time of year for some of us to be doing back-to-school shopping. Here are some tips which will hope-

fully keep you safer while you are buying back to school items. + Most importantly, BE AWARE! Be aware of your surroundings at all times, including who is nearby. Consider go-

ing shopping with a friend rather than going shopping by yourself. + Before you leave the house, carry only the items that you need, including your cell phone. Don’t take too many credit cards,

just the ones you will need. Take only the cash that you need. If you need to get cash from an ATM, use one in a very public

place, preferably indoors.

+ Avoid using a purse if possible. Consider a fanny pack or carrying your wallet in your front pants pocket or inside jacket

pocket.

+ While shopping, pay attention where you park so you can quickly return to your car. Park as close as you can to where you

are going and in a well-lit area. Stay away from bushes and places where someone could hide and surprise you when you are

getting in or out of your car.

+ Pay attention to your surroundings. If there is someone hanging around the parking lot, park somewhere else. If you see sus-

picious activity when returning to your car, return to the relative safety of the store(s) and notify security or the police.

+ Don’t try to carry more than you can handle. Don’t shop until you are worn out. Don’t let your cell phone or texting distract

you. All these things make it harder for you to be aware of your surroundings and makes you an easier target.

+ If you are purchasing expensive electronic items, consider buying them at the last store you visit, so you can take those pur-

chases home immediately and not leave them exposed in the vehicle for too long. Be conscious of person(s) near you who

might follow you out to your car after you buy a computer, cell phone, camera, etc.

+ When you get ready to leave the store, don’t wait until closing time to leave, especially if it will be dark outside when you

go home or go to another store. If you are traveling from one shopping location to another, keep your purchases in your trunk.

Covering purchases with a blanket or similar item on the back seat is unlikely to fool a thief.

If you would like to receive Tampa Police Department reports and additional security tips, please e-mail us at ArborGreene-

[email protected] to be added to the e-mail distribution. Joining this e-mail group does not obligate you to any other NWA

activities, but should help you and your family to become better informed and more secure. If you would like to become an

active Neighborhood Watch Patrol Member, call Paul or Hally at 453-7295 for details.

Community Fountain Repairs

The Community fountain, at the Enclave/Estuary Village entrances, was turned off

in 2006 due to the City of Tampa water restrictions, effective May 4, 2006, that

stated “Outdoor aesthetic uses of water such as decorative water fountains and fea-

tures are prohibited unless the fountain is re-circulating and provides a necessary

water quality benefit or uses reclaimed water.” The "water quality benefit" did not

apply to the Community fountain but did apply to our entry fountain, and that is

why we have continued to use the front fountain within the hours permitted.

During the period of inactivity, we continued to periodically "test" the fountain

until we incurred leaks in the fountain liner. The liner had been replaced several years prior to the fountain being

turned off in 2006.

At the July 19th CDD Meeting, the CDD Board approved work to be done on repairing the aesthetically pleasing

fountain. Work was scheduled to begin in August pending work permit approval by the City of Tampa and is esti-

mated to be completed within several weeks. There is a lot of work to be done, including removing the old liner,

checking the electrical bonding, applying the new Marquis finish, testing the pump and motor operation and finally

filling the fountain with water and testing the variable frequency device computer that regulates the height of the

water during high winds. There also will be many maintenance checks along the way.

As of July 1, 2010, the City of Tampa approved new water restrictions for our area, and now provides that

“fountains, waterfalls and other outdoor artistic water features are allowed to operate on an as-needed basis, during

any day or time, as long as water is used efficiently.” When completed and operational, entry to and around the

fountain circle is prohibited. Parents please advise your child(ren) that entry in the fountain, wading or swimming in

the fountain pool is unsafe and not permitted.
