To All Homeowners and Residents of Rancho San Diego Association,

 

The past two months have been difficult to say the least.  The Pandemic has brought a new way of living for all of us.  Here at Rancho San Diego Association (RSDA), government, state, and local rules and protocol has made way for many restrictions. As we head into what Governor Newsom is calling Stage II of the isolation or self-quarantine, some of the restrictions are easing up.  Here at RSDA, we must all exercise caution before venturing out to resume life as we know it.

 

Effective immediately, the parks are open to “same household” residents to visit.  This means you can play catch with your child, kick a ball around, play Frisbee, etc.  The playgrounds, pools and restrooms will remain closed and team sports are still prohibited.  Possession of a face covering is mandatory and must be worn whenever within six feet of another person who is not a member of your family or household.  Both parks have access to street parking so the parking lots will remain closed to promote social distancing.  The recreation rooms are not available for rental.

 

While the office staff is still working, the office is closed to all residents, and homeowners.  Communication with the office is available via telephone (619-464-1221) and email via the RSDA website (www.rsda.org). 

 

Why are the remaining facilities, pools, and office closed?  The current state and local regulations and protocol are preventing them from opening.  We also do not have the cleaning staff to do the required sanitation throughout the day. We are asked frequently “Why the pools aren’t open. You don’t spread the disease in a pool.” That is correct. However, sneezing and coughing in the pool does.  Additionally, anything that is touched must be sanitized. This includes the handrails, coping, chairs, tables, gates anything that is touched.  When it is safe to reopen completely, we will do so.

 

The Board of Directors and Office Staff are doing everything to keep our community safe and healthy.  Having everyone participating in social distancing and wearing of the face masks will help bring us to a new normal sooner than later.  Lastly, I cannot express my gratitude to everyone who works in the medical field, safety officers, delivery, grocery, truck drivers and all the essential employees and volunteers who have risked their safety to keep us alive.  Thank You!!!

 

We are RSDA Strong!

 

 

Anne Perez

President, RSDA Board of Directors

In its duty to exercise due care for the safety of residents and guests in all community areas under their control, the RSDA Board of Directors is re-emphasizing the CLOSURE of the Hatfield Office & All Community Area Facilities, by leaving the parking lot chains up and secured, beginning Friday, April 3, 2020.

 

The association is in support of the Governor ordering “all individuals living in the State of California to stay home or at their place of residence… [so we may] bend the curve, and disrupt the spread of the virus.”

 

By maintaining the closures of both Hatfield and Hansen Parks, which includes the tennis courts, basketball courts and playgrounds, the association aims to further reduce social density and help “Flatten the COVID-19 Curve at Parks.”

 

Stay Healthy.

Dear Residents,

 

With so many updates about the precautions we are all taking due to the coronavirus, the Board of Directors would like to be sure that the RSDA community is on the same page.

 

Although the association has closed the office to walk-in service and suspended the use of the clubhouses and pools, the office Manager continues to work diligently during regular business hours, both in the office and remotely, ensuring that all essential needs of our community are being addressed.

 

Be assured that your communications with the association through e-mail, paper mail and the telephone are all received, prioritized and processed just as before.  However, keep in mind that many of our vendors’ staffing procedures have been greatly impacted and the available workforce has become limited.  We ask for your continued patience during this ‘lockdown’ as we reorganize and redeploy the resources we have available.

A message from the Board of Directors,

 

Due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) health concerns put out by the CDC and government officials, RSDA will close the recreational facilities at Hatfield and Hansen Parks, and suspend all rentals and pool use during the following time period, or until the CDC and government officials advise otherwise.

 

 

The safety and health of our residents, community and team is just too important to us to remain open during this time.  Please check your emails regularly as we will continue to provide updates as they develop.

 

Thank you for your patience and support during this time of uncertainty.
