WHAT IS TGMA "TRILOGY AT
GLEN IVY MAINTENANCE ASSOCIATION"?
TGMA is the homeowners association. This
association owns or maintains all the front
yards & common area landscaping, private
streets, gates, buildings, tennis courts, walks
and related improvements within the residential community. The staff that works for
the association including the community
manager, fitness director, activities director
etc. have their salaries paid for by TGMA.
All budgets for repairs to the common area,
architectural reviews of landscaping and
modification to residences, enforcement of
CC&R's and rules. Collection of the monthly assessments are handled by TGMA. This
association is essentially the business corporation which handles the day to day operation, repair and management of the community.
2. WHO BELONGS TO TGMA?
Each homeowner becomes a member of
TGMA when they close escrow on their
home and their membership terminates
when they sell their home. There are regularly scheduled board meetings to which all
homeowners are invited to attend. The
board of directors for TGMA is comprised
of 5 homeowners. These positions are elected
by the homeowners.

3. WHAT IS TGIS "TRILOGY AT GLEN IVY COMMUNITY SERVICES"?
TGIS is not the homeowners association. This corporation has a separate board of directors that control the activities of TGIS. One way to think of TGIS is as the special activities association. TGIS sponsors or subsidizes many activities to which homeowners attend such as tours, the Halloween and Christmas Party etc. However, events sponsored
by TGIS my be open to the public or other clubs, educational, cultural, religious or other
organizations, and such events are not required to be limited to Glen Ivy homeowners.
Homeowners do not pay any assessments to TGIS beyond the one time fee paid at closing based upon the purchase price of their home. There is a very complete explanation of
TGIS in a recorded legal document you were provided as part of the purchase of your
home. It is called "Community Enhancement Fee Agreement". We would encourage you
to read this approximately 10-page document in detail.
4. WHO BELONGS TO TGIS?
The sole member of TGIS is TGMA and all members of TGMA are members of TGIS.
Once the developer transferred the corporation to Trilogy at Glen Ivy, management of
TGIS was assumed by the 5 elected homeowner/directors. The board of .directors of
TGIS currently controls all aspects of the funds of TGIS: just as the TGMA-board controls the funds of the homeowners association. TGIS develops it's own budgets and activities to ensure that the funds are invested and allocated at a level that will allow TGIS to
function indefinitely. The main purpose of TGIS is to provide activities for the residents
of the community. Decisions and activities are developed by feedback provided through
resident surveys.
5. WHO MANAGES THE TGIS FUNDS?
Funding of TGIS is from a one-half percent fee on each home sale within Trilogy at Glen
Ivy. The TGIS board is charged with fulfilling the vision of TGIS as found within it's
articles of incorporation and bylaws, and in administering its funds. In accordance with
state and federal statutes, TGIS is required to periodically perform an audit and to comply with all proper accounting and reporting requirements that apply to public benefit
corporations.

Top 9 keyboard shortcuts everyone should know
Using keyboard shortcuts can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and
help keep you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl + C
is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the text using the mouse,
clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the keyboard.
Below are our top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use
Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert Copy the highlighted text or selected item.
Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert Paste the text or object that's in the clipboard.
Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y
Undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. This
can also often be pressed multiple times to undo multiple changes. Pressing Ctrl + Y would redo the
undo.
Ctrl + F Open the Find in any program. This includes your Internet browser to find text on the current page.
Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc
Quickly switch between open programs moving forward.
to switch between tabs in a program.
Press Ctrl + Tab
Adding the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab will move backwards. For example, if you are pressing Alt + Tab and pass the program you want to switch to, press Alt + Shift + Tab to move backwards
to that program.
Windows Vista and 7 users can also press the Windows Key + Tab to switch through open programs in a full screenshot of the Window.
Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left arrow / Right arrow
Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete a full word at a time instead of a single character. Holding down
the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow will move the cursor one word at a time instead of
one character at a time. If you wanted to highlight one word at a time you can hold down Ctrl + Shift
and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a time in that direction while highlighting each word.
Ctrl + S While working on a document or other file in almost every program pressing Ctrl + S will
save that file. This shortcut key should be used frequently anytime you're working on anything important.
Ctrl + Home / End
Move the cursor to the beginning or end of a document.
Ctrl + P Print the page being viewed. For example, the document in Microsoft Word or the web page
in your Internet browser.

Just one man's opinion
No one has greater admiration than I do for members of the community
who give of their time and effort to serve on the Board of Directors. The
issue, in this case, however, should not be about the Board's prerogatives
or the quality of the members'service. The issue should be about whether
or not there may be a better option at this time than the current service
provided by Platt. So please don't take it personally if some residents ask
the Board to evaluate other possibilities than Platt.
It is possibly true, as you say, that the "vast majority" of the residents
want some sort of security effort. But are you as confident that, at this
point, Platt's services and the compensation that company is receiving is
acceptable to the vast majority of residents? This, in effect, is what the
"small band," as you call it, of petitioners is asking. With the Platt services having been provided for a substantial amount of time, can we still
conclude that a patrol car is the best option?
Finally, you say these petitioners have "a right to their opinion." I totally agree. And in a democratic society such as ours even a small band
has that right and should be heard by the Board. I also believe that the
Board has a right and a duty to make decisions on matters affecting the
quality of life in our development including security. (The role of resident involvement in major decisions is a very important subject best left
for another time when it can be discussed without entanglement in other
issues.) If residents are concerned with the quality and cost of that security, they have the right by petition or other means to express that concern and should be heard and seriously considered.

Corner
Subject: Response to Harold Wolff’s article in continued support of the contracted “Security Patrol”, Platt Security
The start of having a proposed contracted Security Patrol was fostered by two or three
persons contacting this company, Platt, and submitting a cost to the presiding board in the Fiscal
year 2010, just prior to formulating the next Fiscal year Budget. The acceptance of contracting
this firm was based on a knee-jerk action based on one violent crime in the first seven years of
Trilogy and several property crimes. The comment in your article states, “a variety of criminal incidents demonstrated
that our community had serious safety problems”. It did not state over what period of time and how it compared to other areas, communities or small cities in our locale. I find this assumption very subjective and without merit.
Recently a New York based website reported that the cities of Temecula and Murrieta are the second and fourth
safest cities in America. The Riverside County Sheriff provides police service to Temecula and our community. The
“Business Insider” website arrived at this by using FBI data to show and compare property and violent crimes. While
both cities are larger than Trilogy, I have compared the data with our monthly Deputy Sheriff reports for the calendar
year 2010 and the latter portion of 2009.
Using the following four-month period.
November 2009
December 2009
January 2010-no report
February 2010
March 2010
These months did not have Platt Security Patrol.
April 2010 to December 2010 inclusive, a nine-month period.
These months had Platt Security Patrol from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. every day of the month.
Data from the Report is stated as incidents per 10,000 residents.
For comparative results a population of 2000 residents for Trilogy times a factor of five is being used to equal 10,000.
VIOLENT CRIMES are defined as Murders, Forcible Rape, Robberies and Aggravated Assaults
PROPERTY CRIMES are defined as Burglary, Larceny, Motor Vehicle Theft and Arson

still much lower than both the second and forth safest city in America!

Lets look at the potential of Platt Security reducing so called serious safety problems or so called crime rate
in Trilogy.
Four months in Trilogy without PLATT Patrol
Property Crimes
5 divided by 4= ratio of 1.25 property crimes per month
Nine months in trilogy having PLATT Security Patrol
Property Crimes
12 divided by 9= ratio of 1.33 property crimes per month.
Having Platt Security Patrol, the property crime rate increased by 6.4%!
Normally when another level of Security is added, the crime rate goes down until the criminals figure out
how to circumvent it. This did not happen and demonstrates the lack of effectiveness of Platt Patrol. This is
not indicative of the poor performance of Platt but of the nature of the Geographic of Trilogy and the design
layout of the Development. There are too many separate designed and unmanned gated canyons, open Golf
course property adjacent and within the community, open land next to Golf Course and Gates that provide no
security. This community having six Armed Security patrolling, 24/7, you may see a slight reduction in Property Crimes. It’s virtually impossible to be much safer with having an Armed Security Patrol as shown by the
record comparison described.
The “”Rules and Regulation” committee based on an “experiment “ decided the need for an “ARMED Security patrol” to enforce the rules and regulations at a cost of $65,004 per year or $22.26 per hour. Observing
violations and writing citations do not require an ARMED INDIVIDUAL to remove the responsibility from
Merit and the Enforcement Manager.
THE FINANCIAL ASPECT
You said, “There are NO FUNDS being spent on the security patrol service from our reserves”. That is entirely true. The Reserve Budget is part of the Financial Budget and responsibility of the BOD. Each year our
Reserve Specialist asks for a certain amount of money to be paid out of the Operating Fund 6to the Reserve
Fund to achieve the goal of coming close to 100% FUNDED, AND EACH YEAR WE SHORT CHANGE
HIM. In preparing for the Reserve Study for last three years he recommended this:
Fiscal year 2010
The recommendation was for a contribution of $26, you contributed $21
Fiscal year 2011
The recommendation was for a contribution of $31, you contributed $25
Fiscal year 2012, this year
The recommendation was for a contribution of $36, you contributed $25
Instead of spending discretionary money on “Platt Security” of $130,008 in the last two Fiscal years that
would have represented over 82% of what the consultant asked to be deposited in the Reserve Fund. The projected percent funded for fiscal year 2011 is 62.12 % and this Fiscal year ending March 2012 it will be
58.02%. During this Fiscal year the BOD has elected to defer spending of $142,200 to try to offset the decline in the Reserve Fund.
You asked for alternatives and here it is.

The Thanksgiving Story
Most stories of Thanksgiving history start with the harvest celebration of Shar
e82
the pilgrims and the Native Americans that took place in the autumn of 6
1621. Although they did have a three-day feast in celebration of a good
harvest, and the local natives did participate, this "first thanksgiving" was not a holiday, simply
a gathering. There is little evidence that this feast of thanks led directly to our modern Thanksgiving Day holiday. Thanksgiving can, however, be traced back to 1863 when Pres. Lincoln became the first president to proclaim Thanksgiving Day. The holiday has been a fixture of late
November ever since.
However, since most school children are taught that the first Thanksgiving was held in 1621
with the Pilgrims and Indians, let us take a closer look at just what took place leading up to that
event, and then what happened in the centuries afterward that finally gave us our modern
Thanksgiving.
The Pilgrims who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were originally members of the
English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They had earlier fled their home in England and
sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more
religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to
finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were nonSeparatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.
The Pilgrims set ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter was
devastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of the original 102 who
sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was a bountiful one. And the remaining
colonists decided to celebrate with a feast - including 91 natives who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. It is believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through
the year without the help of the natives. The feast was more of a traditional English harvest
festival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.
Governor William Bradford sent "four men fowling" after wild ducks and geese. It is not
certain that wild turkey was part of their feast. However, it is certain that they had venison.
The term "turkey" was used by the Pilgrims to mean any sort of wild fowl.
Thanksgiving was proclaimed by every president after Lincoln. The date was changed a
couple of times, most recently by Franklin Roosevelt, who set it up one week to the next-to
-last Thursday in order to create a longer Christmas shopping season. Public uproar against
this decision caused the president to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years
later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday, as
the fourth Thursday in November.
