The Portofino HOA Board aims to increase dialogue and communication with the community, and so to best streamline community feedback, we will begin doing monthly survey in advance of the Board meetings. We know that everyone cannot attend every meeting, and as we have numerous issues to discuss & address, the Board would like to understand the needs & wants of you, the owner. Your submission will be kept confidential with the Board, but the overall results will be shared with the community.

We thank you for taking the time to share your feedback to help us improve our life here at Portofino Tower!

Security is a top priority here at Portofino. We are evaluating our current methods, and exploring new ideas that would help us be both more secure and more efficient with our resources.

What do you like best about the security staff?

What could be improved with the security staff?

Where do you prefer the security guard to sit?

Lobby Desk

Security Office

The Beacon Callbox with video recording is now installed and active, with the current aim of allowing remote access to guests, vendors, and mail delivery while the guard is away from the desk, or after hours. Currently, the 2 exterior entrance doors are locked when security is not present (Mon-Sat 10pm-6am; Sun 5pm-6am), and on fob access. The elevator is also on fob access. Our research shows that most condo buildings in the area have 1 fobbed entry to the building, without fobbed access to the elevator, with or without front desk security. However, since we have those fobs all in place, we have several options. We have requested Beacon to provide a quote to (a) link all fobs on the elevator, interior & exterior outer doors, and (b) add motion sensor technology to our camera in the vestibule.

Would you support any of the following changes for a trial run?

	Yes	No	Need More Information
Disabling fob access on the elevator at all hours
Creating a schedule for the fob access on the elevator for specific time windows.
Leaving the exterior door unlocked until 11pm every night
Leaving the exterior door unlocked until 12am / midnight every night
Linking all 3 fobs (both vestibule doors) and elevator to the Beacon Call Box.

What ideas should the community consider to improve security of the building?

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. The Board has submitted an application to Xcel Energy to be a part of a program that will install 5+ free Electric Vehicle Dual Charging Stations in the garage. Each station would cost $40-55/mo, and all cost would be passed to owners by use.

	Yes	No

Would you like to have a designated Electric Vehicle Charging Station in your garage space?

What other vendor discounts would you like to see in the future?

The Conference Room has now been unlocked for unfettered use by the community. It has been used very little in the 20-year history of the building, and we are exploring refreshing the space, while adding a lounge component.

Do you ever use the Conference Room?

If you use the Conference Room, how often and for what purpose?
