Pool vs. COVID 19 - Update June 15 2020
Washtenaw Public Health has shared their requirements for pools in order to minimize the impact of COVID 19 . The guidelines include screening residents as they come into the pool area, reporting of COVID 19 infections to public health, social distancing expectations and hourly cleaning of bathrooms. Beyond this, the guidelines also include the presence of an employee present onsite during all open hours. This would require 84 man hours which would be a significant impact on our budget. Additionally, the employee would require supervision and COVID monitoring as well - which is beyond the scope of the volunteer Board members. Therefore, given the impact on our budget and additional requirements, we are not able to meet these expectations so the pool will remain closed due to the strict public health expectations. If the guidelines become less strict, we will, of course, reevaluate. In the meantime, we are hoping to pursue needed repairs on the pool. It is also possible the budget line items pertaining to the normal opening and maintenance of the pool may put us below budget for expenses. However, our homeowner dues support much more than just the pool. We do not yet know how we might respond to the possibility of being under budget on expenses. Please note - we have recently been informed of individuals trying to access the pool despite it being closed. Any entry into the pool area while it is closed will be considered Trespassing. There are cameras which can help us monitor compliance. We know this is a disappointing announcement and we are disappointed as well. Thank you for your understanding and patience. |
Pool Opening Update - June 2, 2020
With the Governor’s new orders, we anticipate Washtenaw County’s Public Health Department will be issuing guidelines for opening public swimming pools. We must wait for these guidelines to help us understand the parameters for opening the pool. We will then need to review and hopefully develop and implement systems to meet those guidelines. We also have several processes that need to be followed to meet Public Health Department and Township inspections and expectations. Finally, just like in year’s past, we are at the mercy of respective inspectors ability to schedule the inspections before we can open the pool. So, we will move as quickly as legally and logistically possible.
COVID is frustrating for all of us. In my work life and personal life I have experienced and seen many processes develop and need to change to meet the ever changing guidelines based on new learning about this virus. We are all learning to surrender to patience. We thank you in advance for your patience as well. |
Minutes from the April 2020 VOHP Board Meeting are posted. Next meeting is June 4, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The VOHP Board meetings are open to Homeowners via Zoom. Interested Homeowners should email the Board requesting the link for that month's meeting. Input/ questions/ concerns from Homeowners will be heard at the beginning and end of the meeting with each homeowner household having 3 minutes in the beginning and end of the meeting. It is hoped this allows input from Homeowners yet also helps the Board and the Management Company discuss other agenda items in the allotted time period. |
Pool Opening Postponed Indefinitely
Currently, public pools are not allowed to open therefore our pool cannot open. We have no prediction how the rules will unfold this season and will keep you updated when / if we learn more. |
