Default passes on the South

I seem to remember a past RMA board member getting on his high horse and demanded CSD to start passes out those stupid passes again . So RMA ordered the pass, CSD remodeled the Southgate, because it was not set up for that purpose, The new window is done. So my question is, why have they not started passing them out on the South? Can anyone tell me? What is CSD waiting for?

,

Why yes I have!!!! what does that have to do with the Southgate passes? I know that the Southgate officers don't pass them out. And I also found out that the South has their own passes that have a black boarder and say SOUTH on them. So I have two question now.....why are the passes different? and why they are not passed out.

Just an observation, shouldn't the passes be different for the North & South so a visitor can't just use the same pass to go from North to South. i.e., if someone was a visitor to the South and had a South pass, then they couldn't use the South pass to enter into the North to just drive around for a look-see or visa-vera.

But yes....why aren't they passing them out?? Strange.

I believe the passes are a RMA thing.
For years the gate officers passed those things out... then a RMA board member discovered that the passes cost RMA something like $5000 a year. Someone suggested to stop issuing the passes to save money, which was done... fast forward a couple years and a RMA board member is asking why security isn't handing out passes

So now we get double the expense for passes ?

Aren't nonresidents vehicles logged into security's computers by license plate number anyway ?

Yes Mr. Smith we are now paying for double the passes. Yes all non residents vehicles are logged in and don't forget the video surveillance. HUMM! isn't that how they caught the person that killed the grandparents? Not because of the passes. The reason for the boardmember(that is not on the board anymore) wanting the passes back, was he wanted to drive down the street and know if that was a guest . Well ,couldn't you tell by the bar code if it is a guest or not?

I'm not sure why it is important to know at a glance whether a person is a guest or a resident. The purpose of having the front gate is to control access, so if someone is behind the gates one can assume they have been properly screened and are here for legitimate reasons. If there is a situation that arises while that person is behind the gate, security will respond and part of their job is to determine residency. The pass really serves no purpose at that point and they really are a waste of resources. Also, as several have already mentioned, the vehicle information is logged and the cameras are rolling. $5,000 could definitely be used elsewhere....

Aren't the passes multi-colored, too, depending on what "kind" of guest you are? Yep, five grand could be far better spent elsewhere. They do hand them out if, the resident, tells the gate your guest(s) will be here 2-3 days; allows them to come in and out with a wave and not a computer check if they run to the store, etc.
