Dear Marco Island Managers,
We extend our gratitude for your attendance at the recent Lunch & Learn event hosted at the Fire Department, where valuable insights were shared. We are eager to communicate a pivotal topic discussed during the session, outlined below. Kindly disseminate this information to all Marco CAMs, Management Companies, and Board Members.
The Fire Department has issued a request for the transition of all lock boxes to the new Knox Box system by your next annual inspection. The cost of these lock boxes is approximately $750 each, with an additional installation fee to be invoiced by the Fire Department post-installation. While the responsibility lies with the association to procure and install the lock boxes, the Fire Department will secure the boxes upon installation once you’ve notified them of the delivery and installation.
For assistance in determining the required quantity of boxes for your premises, we encourage you to contact the Fire Department at 239-389-5040 to schedule a consultation for a comprehensive assessment of your specific requirements.
Attached herewith are detailed instructions for ordering the Knox Box for your properties. Should you require any further assistance or support throughout this transition process, please do not hesitate to reach out.
It is imperative to note that the new lock boxes will not grant access to the Police Department. We strongly advise retaining the existing lock box to ensure continued access for the Police Department during any type of police emergency including medical emergencies. The Police Department is open to exploring alternative entry options in the event that maintaining the existing lock boxes becomes impractical, in order to prevent any necessity for forced entry. Should you choose not to maintain the current lock box, residents must be informed to facilitate Police Department entry by opening the exterior doors in your lobby during emergency calls to 911.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
