I predict once residents become responsible for their own CDD budget (or whatever you call it) and we start to be overcome with costs and need to trim the budget, gate passes AND moreso gate guards will be history. I recently read someplace that gate guards cost approx $1.5 million a year today and expected to increase in the future. That would pay for alot of flowers on Morse and Buena Vista!!
In lieu of gate guards and gate passses, I would like to see residents have transponders in their cars allowing the gates to rise automatically. Labor costs would be cut dramatically. I mean they use such technology for tolls on major highways with Easy Pass why not here......
