The new SIRIT access control transponder system
has been in place for a year now and has performed
extremely well. The old barcode system, which we
continued to run in parallel, will be turned off and
removed. We ran the systems in parallel to insure
the new transponder system met our standards,
before removing it.
On Monday, January 27, 2014 the barcode system
will be shut down. Therefore, any resident’s vehicles
that have not had a new transponder installed on
the headlight or inside the windshield, in the last
year, will no longer be able to drive through the
resident gate.
To have a transponder placed on your vehicle please
contact Security at 622-7800 and we will come to
your home and install one.
Vendor Access
Please inform any vendor you hire or intend to hire
that they are required to get a Frenchman’s Creek
ID if they will be on property for more than one (1)
day. The ID / background check process is critical
to securing our property. Just this month Security
denied access to a vendor who was a Registered Sex
Offender, a vendor who was a convicted felon for
Robbery and another vendor who was listed as a
“Career Criminal”. These are not people you want in
your home. Please feel free to contact the POA
Office
should you have any questions about the
Frenchman’s Creek ID policy.
The ID process fees are as follows:
Driver: $35 first time - $30 for renewal
Non-Driver: $15 first time - $10 for renewal
Domestic Staff: $15 first time - $10 for renewal
ID Office open days & times
Monday thru Friday from 7:30am to 9:30am
Tuesday & Thursday from 2:30pm to 4pm

SAFETY
ENFORCEMENT
One of the most prevalent complaints received by
security and the POA is excessive speeding on our
roadways by cars and golf carts, and failure of these
vehicles to stop at community STOP signs. In an
effort to improve safety within Frenchman’s Creek,
by reducing the number of speeders and STOP sign
violators, the Traffic Hawk Enforcement System has
been acquired. The Traffic Hawk is an unmanned,
self-contained video recording and radar device
that takes a video of any vehicle exceeding the
community’s speed limit. It also has the ability to
record those vehicles and/or golf carts that fail to
slow and/or stop at STOP signs. The Traffic Hawk is
a mobile device that will be moved to different
streets within the community to monitor speeding
and STOP sign violations. It will be moved regularly
and utilized at all times of the morning, afternoon
and evening. Owners of vehicles exceeding posted
speed limits will be cited and sent a violation notice.
Frenchman’s Creek does not have sidewalks, so it is
vitally important that our roadways be safe and
vehicle traffic along the roadways controlled.
