This is to inform you of a change in the guard service at Ridgemark.  Effective March 1, 2018, First Alarm Security and Patrol will no longer provide guard services to the Ridgemark homeowners associations.  Starting March 1st the guard and security services will be provided by Securitas Inc. To learn more about Securitas Inc. you can go to their website at www.securitas.com.  Securitas is a large security company and provides similar services to other golf and country clubs such as Eagle Ridge in Gilroy.

Recently, the board of Ridgemark XI HOA learned of the decision by Ridgemark HOA board of directors to change the guard service provider.  Although we were not consulted in the decision, we do agree with the change and look forward to improved security services in Ridgemark.

With this change, we expect the visitor security protocol to be followed by Securitas.  Be sure your visitors are registered on the QuickPass Gate Entry System, or you are home so the guards can confirm your visitor by telephone. If guards cannot confirm your visitors access to Ridgemark they will not be allowed to enter.

If you are not familiar with the visitor process see the article on http://www.ridgemarkhoaxi.com dated July 5, 2015.

We welcome any comments you may have on the new guard service.

Bill Baker

President, Ridgemark XI HOA
