Dear Sunnymead Ranch homeowners and residents,
As many of you may already know, the state of California is experiencing a recent spike of infection rates of the COVID-19 Corona virus.  And, the Board of Directors for Sunnymead Ranch, has made the decision to follow the current Executive Order that was issued by California State Governor Newsom, and included in the State/County guidelines.   The result of that decision is that the following amenities are to be remained closed until further notice:

Open:

• Onsite office via phone & email
• Lake for fishing
• Tennis courts (for singles play)
• Walking trails at the Lake Club
• All Sunnymead Ranch paseos
• Park located on Manzanita
• Park located Via Pescadero

Closed:

• Pool and spa
• Fitness center
• Veranda
• Clubhouse
• Basketball courts
• Volleyball courts
• Playgrounds
• Picnic tables
• Horseshoe area
• Paddle boats
  

 
As you might have already guessed, the Sunnymead Ranch 2020 annual budget understandably did not foresee the increased expenses for the staffing that would be required to properly sanitize the above amenities (multiple times per day, each and every day) along with other risk mitigation efforts, in order to safeguard our members health and the association’s liability position.
 
Please refer to the correspondence that was mailed to the membership by the Association's attorney, Fiore, Racobs & Powers, which summarizes the provisions, costs and risks associated with opening the community pool. 
 
As always, the Board will continue to monitor all CDC, State, County, and local communications with a goal of re-opening amenities as soon as possible.
 
Friends and neighbors in the interim, please continue to wear face masks while on Lake Club property,  and maintain social distancing to help deter the spread of the virus.
 
Be safe and we thank you for your patience during these difficult times.
 
Sincerely,
Sunnymead Ranch Board of Directors
