GMP Neighbors,

After input from community members over the past few days as well as clarification of what the operational situation may be for the community pool 2020 season, the HOA Board voted unanimously to close the pool.

The financial issues including an additional $6500 a month in costs for cleaning and staff to be compliant with phase 3 guidelines were a large consideration and knowing reserves can not be leveraged for daily pool operations, the reality is that if we were ready today, the earliest the pool could open is July 15th. We still need the pool to pass inspection and show that we are phase three compliant. That timeline in combination with the limited number of individuals in the pool, ability to hire additional staff to clean and separately provide capacity management with health screenings (does not fall under pool company’s contract), and certainty that we could be open the remainder of the season, led to the board’s vote.

We know this may be disappointing to some, please know that it was a difficult decision and one that we do not take lightly.

The unspent operating funds will be rolled into next years pool operations as we may likely need to incur similar expenses and we are efforting to avoid passing those to the community members through increased monthly fees.

Thank you,

GMP Board Members
