Summer Pool update and reminder

As summer is winding down we just want to remind everyone of the some major pool rules still in effect as directed by the SROA Board of Directors and local governmental authorities:

1.      NO Pool Parties are allowed

2.      NO gatherings of more than 10 people

3.      Pool Capacity is still at 50%  or 63 owners

4.      Pool Waiver forms MUST be signed up each entry

5.      Masks are required for all over the age of 10 – unless you are in the pool

6.      Social distancing of 6’ is required for persons not in immediate family household

Anyone not following the rules will be asked to leave by the gate monitor and could lose pool privileges for remainder of the season.   Our goal is to allow residents to enjoy the amenity but also to keep each of us safe!

The pool will continue the summer hours through Sunday, September 6. The pool will be open for Labor Day Monday, September 7. After Labor Day the pool will only be open Saturday and Sunday from 8am – 8pm, and will not be open during the week. The pool closes for the season at 8pm on Sunday, October 11.

Scofield Farms Pool Update

May 7, 2020

Our biggest community asset, the Scofield Farms pool is undergoing a beautification project and will reopen pending state and city government guidance. Presently, the current Governor proclamation states that public pools and private ROA community pools can open on May 8th but only at 25 percent capacity. There is no way for our ROA to properly monitor that kind of limitation without significant increase in cost to homeowner dues. So, we will have to wait until the capacity limitation is lifted.

Meanwhile, some of the pool upgrade projects underway include:

1. Removal and replacement of the front gate (completed)

2. Repaint perimeter fence (under way; changing from green to black)

3. Paint pool building soffit (changing green to cream – underway)

4. Paint metal area at front gate (black – to begin soon)

5. Install large umbrellas at southeast side of pool (in process)

6. Remove, update and replace pool signage (updates include addressing vaping, smoking and pool contamination accidents/protocol)

7. Remove and replace existing lifeguard chairs (ordered) and paint chair poles (underway)

8. Addition of new potted palms (finalizing research)

9. Lastly, order new pool furniture with commercial grade pool furniture (received and ready at opening)

The ROA Board understands the desire for many residents of our community to open the Scofield Farms pool as soon as possible. We remain hopeful with you that soon we will be able to enjoy some summertime fun in a beautiful updated pool center.

Best regards
Pool Committee
