The POA is making another improvement to gate access. At January’s Regular Session Meeting, the board approved funding in the amount of $21,759.42 plus a 2.5 percent contingency from the Capital Improvement Fund 05-670 for new RFID lanes at the main and east gates. The board also appoved $3,869.70 from the Repair and Replacement Fund 02-670 for an upgraded RFID antenna at the east gate.

According to the POA, the community is in need of better control of the access and ease of entrance for members and their guests at the main and east gates when there is only one guard on shift at these locations Monday through Sunday from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Currently, there is only one automated gate for members. This addition would allow two RFID lanes at each gate during these times to allow members with the RFID transponders to gain entry to the community.

The new system will integrate with the current software. This is the same system installed in the current RFID lanes.

The project also includes upgrading the original RFID antenna at the east gate.
The end goal is to eventually make all gates fully automated 24/7 for the member access lanes with only staffing for guest entry.

The RFID lanes are automated, allowing quicker access and less congestion at the gates. Additionally, RFID technology provides complete access history and control over all vehicles using it within the community, thus improving security.

RFID transponders will soon become mandatory for all Canyon Lake resident vehicles. RFID decals are available at no charge at the POA office.

Current vehicle registration (must be registered to a community member) and a valid POA card are required to receive a transponder. POA staff will install the transponder on the vehicle.

Transponders do not have to be replaced on an annual basis; however, members must provide vehicle registration to reactivate a transponder.
