Dear community members,
The community effort to open the pool was reliant on each owner reviewing and agreeing to the terms of the COVID-19 Policy. All were notified and advised that if these requirements were not followed the pool could be closed for a few days or for the remainder of the season. We appreciate the many who have embraced the policy and are enjoying the pool responsibly. However, there have been issues with some owners or their families using the facility and not abiding by these rules. We want owners to be able to enjoy and use the pool during these difficult times, however that means that following the required guidelines to protect your family and others is vital. The last week owners have chosen to disregard the county and community requirements for safe use. Multiple requirements have been disregarded, use of pool furniture, minors without adult supervision, opening the gates for others, jumping the fence, bringing guests, not adhering to the pool hours of operation, etc. Due to the continued disregard, the pool will be closed for the next 7 days. Each owner who has a active key fob agreed to abide by the COVID-19 policy and restrictions. The pool cannot be open as the Certified Pool Operator, management and the board cannot monitor 24/7 and ensure that these requirements are followed. After this 7 day closure, if those who choose to use the pool cannot abide by the rules the pool will be required to close for the season.
Our legal counsel advised us that this policy is necessary given our duties and we have carefully reviewed the recommendations set forth by the State of Utah and Davis County.
During this time due to limited access and use “Guests” are not allowed. Due to restrictions the fitness centers and common areas of the clubhouses will not be open. Owners will have access to the restrooms but all other areas of the interior of the clubhouse will be closed off. Owners are asked to respect and refrain from entering the other areas of the clubhouse. The intention will be to open those areas as the state moves to a more manageable state (green) level.
As a reminder, the established rules already in place for pool usage require children under 14 to be accompanied by an adult. Additionally, swim diapers must be used for all children who are not toilet trained.
The policy is also available on the Foxboro North HOA Website foxboronorth.com (owners who do not respond with the attached signed agreement will not have access to the pool/s).
Clarifications and guidelines due to COVID-19 and cleanliness issues:
Pool hours will operate at reduced hours from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm.
Pools will operate at the current state gathering requirement which is 50 people or less. If you arrive and the pool is at capacity, you will need to leave and return at a later time. To be considerate of others, please limit pool time to two hours or less and consider visiting during off peak times so all can enjoy time at the pool.
HOA owned pool furniture, tables, and chairs are not to be used.
As members of the HOA and as the “owners” of the pools, each family is charged with monitoring our own families to ensure that no one comes to the pool if they are sick, have any COVID-19 symptoms, or have come into contact with anyone that has been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the last 14 days. Each family is also to ensure that they are following the recommended social distancing rules both in the pool and on the pool deck.
No guests will be allowed.
Please bring sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer to use to wipe down surfaces before and after your personal use.
Parents should regularly take your children to use the bathroom. It is also recommended that parents accompany children in the bathrooms at all times.
Swim diapers – All children who are not toilet-trained must wear a swimming-approved diaper with rubber pants over the diaper. For your convenience, a dispenser with diapers and covers is provided at each facility for a nominal cost. Swim diapers and covers are recommended for all children age 3 and under. The cleanliness and safety of the pool is best maintained when incidents are reported immediately. When pool rules are being followed and a poop incident occurs, if it is immediately reported, no fees will be assessed. If rules are not being followed or if it is not immediately reported, the adult homeowner will be responsible for the costs associated with closing and cleaning the pool area.
Food and drink are only permitted under the pavilion. As pool furniture is not to be used at this time, it is recommended that food is not to be brought to or consumed at the pool.
Key fobs are not to be shared or passed around to anyone outside of your household. Gates and doors should not be opened for those without key fobs. You are responsible for everyone that you allow to enter.
All pools will be accessed via the pool gates and not the clubhouse entrance.
Please discuss these rules with youth over 14 and young adults in your home who may be using the pool independent of the homeowner. If the Foxboro North HOA Pool Rules or the additional guidelines found in the Pool Policy Relating to COVID-19 are not followed, it will be necessary to close the facilities. Together we can work together to keep them open. Changes in state and county policies, as well as sustained increases in COVID-19 transmission rates, may also result in closure of the facilities.
