3.10 Alarm Monitoring For the protection, safety and welfare of the Membership and our most valuable asset; our Community, all home alarm systems are required to be programmed to detect fire/smoke and conduct daily test signals. Additionally, all alarm systems are to be monitored by the Forest Highlands Security Department. The Alarm Monitoring Program fee is charged to each member account. Please refer to Rules Section 7.2 for the fee schedule. 3.12 Service Requests and Key Sign Outs Many Members make special requests each month that require a security officer to make a special trip to a Member’s home. These requests include, but are not limited to, turning on/off water, adjusting heat in the home or the water heater, turn on hot tubs, etc. In addition, many members keep a copy of the key to their home with the Security Office. This has been convenient for allowing guests, contractors or service companies access to the member’s home when the member is away. Each time a key is signed out to a contractor, guest, renter, or service company, a Security Officer must make a special trip to the member’s home to disarm/arm the alarm system and perform a security check of the home. Due to the substantial amount of personnel time and labor dollars required to perform these requests and key sign outs, it is necessary to charge a nominal fee for these special requests and key sign out services. Services requested to be completed on the same day of the request are subject to a higher fee and are not eligible for a free House Watch request 5.20 Advanced Tee Time Program Every Membership account will have 2 Advance Tee Time requests which can be made throughout the golf season. The ATT program allows members to request a tee time up to 14 days in advance, by email rather than Foretees, any day of the week, Monday-Sunday. The Pro Shop will reserve 10 tee times per day (5 at Canyon, 5 at Meadow) Monday-Friday, on the hour from 10:00am to 2:00pm. For weekends and Holidays (Saturday, Sunday and Holiday Monday’s), ATT’s will be limited to 6 times per day, (3 per course) beginning at noon, guest restrictions still apply. 5.21 Golf Shop Credit Book Members who earn Golf Shop Credit for tournament winnings have an opportunity to use the credit book money to purchase merchandise in either golf shop
