gate concerns

  emailed issues: 

People and delivery drivers run into those lovely gates all the time, especially the arm/types.  
Video shows proposal for a SLIDE gate which incur far less damage than arm gates

Do you really think this is going to be free?  
Nothing is "free"  BUT the proposal shows how the gates can be provided without increasing HOA dues -- so in that sense, it is "FREE"

And to believe that volunteers are going to manage it 24/7?  
One of our residents who is in tech support vocationally and is already on call for his business 24 x 7 has offered this coverage to our community.  Another resident close to the entrance has also offered to help expeditiously to assist with any gate opening failures.

Who in their right mind would respond to a caller in the middle of the night? 
  EMTs perhaps, 1st responders perhaps, ...  right minds?
