DownloadSafeHouse Access Control System
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce SafeHouse Systems as our new vendor to provide access control for Cypress Creek. This software system is used at the entry gates to authenticate each of your vehicle transponders and to enable the entry of any guests you have preauthorized to visit your home. SafeHouse, an industry leader in providing these access systems, was chosen to replace the existing, but outdated ABDI system that was purchased many years ago.
This new, lower cost solution for our community will not only make it easier for residents to update their guest information, but will also make visitor check-in a quicker, more efficient process at the gate house.
We thank you in advance for your patience during the rollout of the new system. Based on the feedback we have received from those that have begun to use Safehouse, the system is reliable, convenient, and easy to use.
In July 2021, the Board mailed each resident a request to provide the Board and SafeHouse a working email address for each property. This letter warned residents that failure to provide the Board and Safehouse with a working email might delay your ability to utilize the features of the SafeHouse system. A working email address was necessary to be able to send each resident their SafeHouse-generated USER ID and PASSWORD. For security reasons, the Board and SafeHouse could not send USER IDs and PASSWORDs to residents using snail mail.
In order to make the transition as smooth as possible, SafeHouse asked that the initial rollout be confined to those 200-some residents that provided the Association with a working email. Now that the majority of these residents have had time to register their devices, and begin using the SafeHouse system, Tallfield and SafeHouse can now more easily and effecgively provide customer service to the remaining 200-some residents, each of which will require personalized attention in order to convey to them their USER ID and PASSWORD in a secure manner.
For those of you that have provided the Board with email authorization, you should have received several emails from the CCPOA and SafeHouse including your USER ID and PASSWORD, as well as links/instructions on how to access the SafeHouse apps. For iPhone users, the “WebGuest” app can be downloaded from the Apple app store; the “Web Guest” application can also be downloaded at Google Play. Please check your junk mail folder; these emails should have been sent in late November-early December 2021. Guest lists can also be created/edit via a website at https://cypresscreek.webguest.us(you must provide your USER ID and PASSWORD in order to access the WebGuest features).
For those of you that have NOT provided the Board with email authorization, the Board and Safehouse have no way to safely send your USER ID and PASSWORD in a secure manner. As a result, you will need to contact Suzanne Blake at Tallfield Management (561-983-6000 ext. 201; suzanne@tallfield.com) to get that information. Once you receive your account information, you will be able to access the system, set up your preferences, and create/modify your guest lists, etc.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1) WHY AM I NOT RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS FROM THE GATE HOUSE WHEN GUESTS OR VENDORS ARRIVE.
It is possible that your phone number/contact/guest list data from the prior system (ABDI) may not have correctly transferred to the SafeHouse system as the systems are not fully compatible. Please verify your contact information, settings, and guest lists, etc. in the SafeHouse app or on the SafeHouse website.
Your notification and guest list might not be set up to receive notifications. Please check your vendor/guest lists and your notification settings in the WebGuest app (under Vaca alert/sms #).
Vendors may make multiple stops in the Association (e.g., your pool cleaner might have 4 clients, or your DoorDash driver might be making 3 dinner deliveries). Please remember that only the first stop will receive an alert from Safehouse. If, for example, DoorDash shows up at your door unannounced, then you might be the 2nd or 3rd stop in that driver’s route in the CCPOA.
The internet at the Gate House or the SafeHouse server might be temporarily down. To be fully functional, these systems must be online.
Human error. Please remember that the primary duties of the Gate House attendants are to: 1) verify approved vendors/guests and 2) deny unapproved/inappropriate guests/vendors. Even when vendors/guests are verified, the gate house attendant may have merely failed to press/click the proper keys/buttons to send a verification alert. Failure to receive a notification does not necessarily mean the vendor/guest was not verified.
2) THE APP OR WEBSITE IS ASKING ME FOR MY USER ID AND PASSWARD. WHERE DO I GET THIS INFORMATION?
Please contact Suzanne Blake at Tallfield Management (561-983-6000 ext. 201; suzanne@tallfield.com) to get that information. Once you receive your account information, you will be able to access the system, set up your preferences, and create/modify your guest lists, etc.
3) HOW DO I ACCESS THE SAFEHOUSE SYSTEM?
For iPhone users, the “WebGuest” app can be downloaded from the Apple app store.
For Google phone users, the “Web Guest” application can also be downloaded from the Google Play store..
Guest lists can also be created/edit via a website at https://cypresscreek.webguest.us
In each case, you must provide your USER ID and PASSWORD in order to access the WebGuest features.
4) I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THE SAFEHOUSE WEBGUEST APP. HOW DO I GET HELP?
Below is a link to a number of videos on how to use your WebGuest application, including how to download the app, register your device, login to your account, add one time and/or permanent guests/vendors, and turn on/off email/SMS notifications, and more.

SafeHouse can be reached directly at:
5) DELIVERY PEOPLE ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS I HAVE PROVIDED IN MY SAFEHOUSE ACCOUNT.
The Gate House attendants are not responsible for providing these directions. These directions should be provided directly to the delivery company and driver during your ordering process.
6) WHY ARE VENDORS OR PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW SHOWING UP MY AT DOOR
Of course, it could be human error on the part of the Gate House attendants, but it could be that these vendors had legitimate business at another residence, entered the Association, and are now using the opportunity to visit other properties. Soliciting is not allowed in the Association. Please contact the property manager should such activity occur.
7) I CALLED THE GATE HOUSE TO APPROVE A GUEST/VENDOR NOT ON MY APPROVED SAFEHOUSE, AND THEY STILL CALLED ME TO VERIFT THEIR ENTRY ANYWAY.
Sometimes, this is the Gate House attendant's error. The Gate House attendants are trained to use the SafeHouse system for verification. They may have ignored or forgotten your request, or have more special requests than they can easily handle. It could also be that the Gate Attendant wrote down "ACME Plumbing" from your phone call and the driver merely told the Attendant they were "John Smith" or vice versa.
The SafeHouse is intended to be used to avoid these circumstances and it will work best when all parties use the system for its designed purposes. One-time, as well as permanent guests/vendors, can be pre-approved within the SafeHouse system, avoiding your need to call the Gate House with these approvals. Approvals can also be made over a specified length of time (e.g., you can allow a guest to enter for a specific internal of time).
8) I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER OR SMARTPHONE OR I DON'T WANT TO USE THOSE APPS.
Please contact Suzanne Blake at Tallfield Management (561-983-6000 ext. 201; suzanne@tallfield.com) who can help you set up your SafeHouse profile accordingly.
Rain and Storm Drains
Heavy rains can lead to flooded roads in Cypress Creek. Storm drains are often covered with lawn bags and piles of landscape debris left out by residents and landscape companies. Leaving debris in the gutters pushes water away from drains and blocks access. Please remember to keep the gutters free from debris and not put out any yard clippings before 5 PM the evening before pick up and to not block the gutters.
Authorization to use email for association correspondence
The Association is requesting that all members complete the form that authorizes email as an official form of correspondence between the Association and its members. This authorization is viewed as both a time and cost saving measure for the Association. The form was just mailed via postal service mail to each Association member household. The form can downloaded below.
Please complete, scan, and email this form to CypressCreekPOA@gmail.com or mail to Jamie Gould, CCPOA Board Secretary, 4300 Fox Trace, Boynton Beach, FL 33436. If you have questions please call or text Jamie Gould, CCPOA Secretary at 440-915-7235.

DownloadVirtual Board Meeting for January 2022
The next meeting of the Board of Directors will be held on Thursday, January 20, at 6:30PM. The next meeting of the Architectural Review Committee meeting will held on Thursday, January 27, beginning at 6:00pm.
The Architectural Review Committee respectfully requests that property owners try to submit their requests for approvals one week before the meeting. This will give the Committee sufficient time to share files and materials and review applications, a process which is hampered during the COVID-19 crisis as the sharing of documentation (e.g., product samples or color chips) is difficult during virtual meetings.
You may join either meeting via your laptop at https://fau.webex.com/meet/dneubaum
You will need to install the WebEx software to continue. Once you enter your name and your email, you will be permitted into the meeting.
You can also participate in either meeting by dialing in at 1-415-655-0003. The WebEx meeting number is 730 472 079, followed by the # sign. You do not need an attendee number. You can hit the # sign to enter the meeting.
PBSO Traffic Safety Patrols Extended
CCPOA Board has authorized the extension of periodic PBSO traffic safety patrols within the neighborhood through the end of the year. PBSO deputies have written over 50 traffic citations and warnings, primarily for speeding and stop sign violations over the last couple of months since the program started. The more visible law enforcement presence is expected to have a crime deterrent effect within the neighborhood.
One of the most common crimes in Palm Beach County is theft from unlocked vehicles. Please remember to lock the doors on your vehicles and close garage doors to reduce the attractive nature for these crimes of opportunity.

Adopt A Storm Drain
Everyone knows that trash is not good for our waterways, but many people unwittingly contribute to water pollution because they do not understand that “natural” trash like leaves, grass clippings, and pet waste can become pollutants when they enter the water. Additionally, storm drains are part of the local flood control system helping to move stormwater away from homes and businesses.
