Pool is OPEN!
We are pleased to announce that the Summerfield Pool is being opened in compliance with the county’s requirements.
The following are notable rules from our reopening plan we all need to observe:
- Use First-In, First-Out (FIFO) approach when the pool appears to be nearing the recommended maximum capacity (15 in the pool, 30 on the pool deck.)
- Maintain a minimum of 6 feet between persons not from the same household.
- Avoid entering the pool facility if you have a cough or fever.
- Wear face coverings when not in the pool.
- Do not engage in unnecessary physical contact.
- Use personal chairs and tables in lieu of HOA-owned equipment
- Clean/disinfect restrooms after each use. EPA-approved cleaning supplies are provided.
- Bring your own water in non-glass containers. Do not use the water fountain.
- Do not use the pool area for large gatherings.
The SHOA Board thanks and commends the Pool Committee for their community spirit. Members are:
- Sarah Orr, Chair
- Mike White
- Brooke Nevels
- Christy Glenn
- Francean Williams
Please support their hard work by complying with the rules and thanking them (in an appropriately socially distanced way, of course!)

In response to San Diego County’s order to close all gyms and fitness centers and the Governor’s stay at home order, we will not be opening the pool until after these orders are lifted. We are all in this together (even at an approved distance!), so let’s all find ways to keep our cool and support one another.
Even with the current emergency situation, we must continue to operate the Summerfield Home Owners Association, paying utility bills, maintaining the pool for when it does reopen, etc. And for that, we need a functioning board – and for that, we need folks to step up to help the community. Please see our 
We ask all dog owners to please pick up after your dogs. It is common courtesy and required by the Summerfield CC&Rs. Article VI, Section 8 of the Summerfield CC&Rs states: “Dog owners are required to immediately remove any deposits their dogs might place upon the Common Areas, private Lots, streets, or elsewhere in the Community…”
Yards must be maintained, watered, planted and replanted to prevent erosion and present a healthy and trimmed appearance (no more than 20% of lawn area dry or dying). Weeds must be kept under control in all areas of lawns and landscaping. Weeds in the sidewalks or driveways must be removed or eradicated.
Please note that early in the year is the time to apply pre-emergent weed treatments to lawns. But if they have already come up, please get them out before they spread all over your yard (and spread to all your neighbors’ yards…) Thanks!
Please don’t forget our 
Given the current ‘stay at home’ order, we are exploring other options to see how we might address the annual board election and meeting requirement.
Note: Owners are required to provide and the Board is required to keep a current list of all owners and renters contact information. (California Corp. Code §8320(a). and Civ. Code §4740(d).)

Catalytic converter theft is a major problem since the catalytic converters can be very quickly cut out from a car or truck’s exhaust system and sold to a scrap dealer (for the platinum and other precious metals in them) for hundreds of dollars. Replacement can cost thousands of dollars. See:

We hope that we do not have another wildfire like the one in 2007 that caused our neighborhood to be evacuated— but it is fire season again, and we should all stand ready to respond if needed.
