In recent years a newsletter has been replaced by our in-house Channel 95 cable TV station.
The Board has setup our Community Room for an upcoming meeting so as to enable communication with the homeowners.
The City of Fort Lauderdale robocalls all local phones with emergency instructions during hurricanes. If the electric lines go dead, wired phones may or may not work and wireless phones may or may not work (cell towers). To add to this mix, many residents have abadoned wired phones completely having ported local landline numbers to cell phones.
Communication
The CRTE building was built in 1964. Communication among the homeowners (shareholders) was done with a newsletter since the early days until 2008.
- Our in-house Channel 95 cable TV station is used by volunteers to handle communication within the building. Channel 95 uses an analog signal to connect to each apartment's TV. Comcast is in the process of converting all signals in Broward County from analog to digital. So Channel 95 will be universally accessible as Channel 92 once the changeover is complete in the summer of 2011.
Shown is an HDTV set indicating that Channel 95 has been tuned in. This will change in 2011 with the advent of fiber optics and cable digital.
- Our monthly CRTE Board meetings keep residents informed of management decisions involving the day-to-day needs of operating the 338 unit complex. These meetings are well-attended by shareholders.
- Once a year CRTE has an annual meeting wherein newly elected Board members are announced.
- Bulletin boards in the service entrance and the mail room keep residents informed of events, announcements from the resident manager and so on.
