A Message From Executive Director Mark Rhatigan
Dear Residents:
The onboarding of our new keyless, security system is underway. As previously announced, residents will need to use an app on their smartphones or a keycard or fob to enter the North and South Clubhouses, the South Clubhouse exercise facility and the north and south pool areas.
If you have not yet picked up a keyless entry device, please email Harris Bonfiglio at hbonfiglio@oronoquevillage.com or Chrissy Smith at csmith@oronoquevillage.com to make an appointment. You can also call the Business Office at 203-377-5313, ext. 1, to make arrangements.
Please note, residents are entitled to one method of keyless entry. There will be a fee of $13 to replace keycards and fobs that are misplaced or damaged.
The implementation of the keyless access schedule is as follows:
* Keyless access to the SCB exercise facility from the parking lot began April 12.
* Keyless access will be required to enter the South Clubhouse and pool area as of May 1.
* Keyless access will be required to enter the North Clubhouse and pool area as of May 15.
The exercise facility will be accessible 24 hours a day / seven days a week. The operational hours of the clubhouses will be 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., daily. The pool area hours will be announced prior to the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
The advantages of an Access Control System for OV include:
1. Less reliance on “human” monitoring of our facilities and amenities
2. Manage after-hours resident visits to buildings.
3. Availability of reliable facilities usage data to potentially reduce utility costs.
4. The system has the ability for residents checking the capacity of the amenities (i.e. pools and fitness center) before their visits.
5. Availability of reliable data on who is entering and using our facilities. We will be able to determine, at any time, who’s in our facilities.
6. We will know that anyone accessing facilities has legitimate credentials. In the words of our Stratford Police liaison, Captain Brian Budd: “Any measures that restrict unauthorized access to your community is always a positive decision.”
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Mark Rhatigan
Executive Director
