First, you need the information that is on the sign. The single sign, out on a pillar as you come from the guest parking lot. The information that would have been simple to include in the letter from Homestead, or in our Homestead accounts, but whatever.....
I took a picture of it so you won't have to go out in the cold to get the information you need.
To pay there are choices:
- There is an app referred to in the letter from Homestead but they didn't specify which of the apps with iStall in the name that we should be using. The reviews of the one that I looked at were awful. The app is buggy, it doesn't play nice using a google log-in, and the security of one's data was questioned. I passed on the app.
- You can go to the website referred to on the sign, set up an account, and pay for parking. This is what I did. And to make my life easier, I left a credit card on file (this is not required, you can enter that information each time.)
- You can text a phone number and follow the prompts. I'm lousy at texting so passed on that option.
You will need to know the number of the parking station. It is 8262. I'm not sure if 200 is the same as 185/195 but the website says it is for 185/195/200 Clearview.
You will need to know your guest's license plate.
The cost is $1 per hour or $7 per day. You enter how many hours you expect the guest will stay there. They got an extra dollar out of me since my grandson was cranky so my guests left early.
In theory, I'll receive a text message when it gets close to the end of the time I paid for (it's still 50 minutes until the time expires.)
There is a 5-minute grace time built in: I paid for 2 hours and it confirmed the car would be there from 5:15 until 7:20.

The Island Park Towers Residents' Association is a volunteer organization organizing social events to bring a sense of community to residents of our three apartment towers on Clearview Avenue. See Who We Are for more details.
Only on a consent basis do we collect the names, telephone numbers, postal addresses and email addresses of:

The collected data is used to track annual membership dues obligations and to inform recipients of information related to the association including, but not limited to, regular meeting announcements, certain event announcements, and urgent community action notifications (such as has happened during localized flooding one year).
The collected information is never sent to third parties.

We are the Island Park Towers Residents' Association, a volunteer group of residents at Island Park
Towers.
The current board is made up of:
President: Kathryn Holman
Treasurer:
Membership Secretary: Ed Ellis
With
From 185: Nancy Hamnes
From 195: Ken Holman, Janice Periera
From 200: Julia Brady, Joe & Joan Pinto, Lynne White, Jane Nugent
Who Are The Members?
The group represents about 20% of the units in the complex but that number includes recently
lapsed members as we have not actively promoted renewals.
Since all events run by the IPTRA are open to all residents, our members are those who, through
their dues, their volunteer efforts and their presence at events, support the IPTRA's work of bringing
residents together in social settings to foster a community spirit, develop friendships, and help
create a safer neighbourhood within the buildings.
What Are the Dues?
Dues are $10 per apartment per year.
The money is used to finance the running of events for all residents and communication through a
number of methods. Those who do pay dues are investing in their community. And in return, as a
member you have a say in the direction of the group and can serve on the board.
What Sort of Events?
Currently: Summer BBQ, Halloween Trick or Treating, Christmas Party, Book/DVD/CD/Plant
exchange, interest talks and music evenings.
Non-event items: Residents' Library (located in the back lobby of 195 across, past the elevators) ,
"classified" ads on our website for those IPTRA members offering goods and services, creating a
knowledge base of tips that make living here better (for instance, the giveaway shelf in the
basement garage.) There is also a facebook group (follow the link from the www.IPTRA.org
homepage.)
Advocacy: While we will not deal with individual issues the IPTRA may assist residents who want to
organize to lobby for a certain issue by connecting tenants with each other and the right resources.
The group responding to the rent review of the recent proposed increase has informed the IPTRA that there is a meeting of those interested in helping and organizing a response. The meeting is being held in the lobby of 200 Clearview on Sunday, April 10, 2016 at 16:00.
Please note that this group is not part of the IPTRA and the IPTRA is not in a position to comment on or answer questions regarding the group or its activities.
Note: The IPTRA does not get involved with individual issues between the landlord and tenants so if you have a concern, this might help you find resources to get it resolved.
