Announcement From Your Board Regarding Columbus Grove Tot Lots:

 

Columbus Grove Community Association Board of Directors is happy to announce the reopening of the three Tot Lots starting Saturday, October 17, 2020. Please remember there are still very strict guidelines put in place by the County and wearing masks and social distancing are still important when using Tot Lots to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

 

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding. Our community is strong and, together, we will get through this. Please continue to take care of yourself and of each other during this unprecedented time. Thank you for your support.

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Members and Residents of Columbus Grove,

 

In order to enhance Member and Resident use of the Association’s pool facilities, the Board of Directors have determined the reservation system will no longer be used, effective Tuesday, September 29, 2020. It is the intention of the Association to move towards a facility use plan that is less restrictive, while satisfying all governmental health care agency guidelines. Member and Resident safety are paramount, therefore as the reservation system is removed, all Members and Residents who wish to use the pool and other Association facilities are required to sign a new Waiver and Release of Liability. For copy of the new updated waiver please Click Here. Copy of the waiver can also be found on the Columbus Grove HOA website in the password protected documents: (columbusgrovehoa.com).

 

The Association understands that many users have signed and returned the previous Waiver. Thank you for that. Signing of the updated Waiver by all adults in residence will grant access to the pool facility through their key fob. Pool occupancy numbers and social distancing will be self-monitored for safety and compliance. The Association appreciates your patience as we all, as a Community, work together to ensure safe and fun use of the pool for everyone.

 

 

The pool facilities will operate at 50% normal capacity. The general hours of operation for the pool facilities will be from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The following schedule will be implemented for pool use:

 

• 8 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. Lap Swimming Only
• 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Senior Use Only (60+)
• 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. General Session (Group 1)
• 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Closed for Cleaning
• 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. General Use (Group 2)
• 5:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. General Use (Group 3)

 

 

• Lap Swimming. During lap swimming time, residents will be permitted to swim in designated lanes. Please note that every other lane has been closed in order to facilitate proper social distancing.
• Senior Use. During senior use, only residents aged 60 or older may use the pool.
• General Use. During general use time, users shall be required to maintain proper social distancing while swimming and/or lounging on the pool deck.
• No guests are allowed. Due to limited capacity, Columbus Grove residents will take priority and only they will be permitted at this time.
• No gatherings of any kind.
• For every 3 children, there must always be 1 adult supervisor present, as defined by pool and spa rule 18.1.5. per the Columbus Grove Association governing documents.
• Key fobs associated with the property address will get activated after signed new waiver is submitted to the management office. You may email signed waivers to: columbusgrovefm@powerstonepm.com
• Please do not use your key fob to open the gate for someone who cannot gain entry using their key fob or who does not have a key fob.  If someone cannot access the pool area, chances are they are not authorized to be there. 
• We will monitor the pools daily. If we find that the pool is above the 50% occupancy, our staff will make every effort to avoid closing the pools, however if residents cannot adhere to the guidance, we will close the pool immediately.

Thank you again for your cooperation and support in honoring these rules. We look forward to keeping our amenities open for as long as these health and safety measures are followed. It will take the cooperation and consideration of all residents to allow us to keep our pools open. We will continue to monitor state and local regulations related to the use of our amenity spaces, and will adjust our guidance along the way, if needed.
