Pool status update
We’ve had several questions about opening the pool.
The May 10, 2020 San Diego County health order states
13e: To enhance recreational opportunities in the county, private and public golf courses and, other public or private outdoor recreational facilities (other than community pools per State order), including recreational equipment (such as bicycle, boat, kayak, equestrian and surfboard) rentals may be open for limited use.
The order also states:
28: To the extent necessary, this Order may be enforced by the Sheriff or chiefs of police pursuant to Government Code sections 26602 and 41601 and Health and Safety Code section 101029.
Additionally, our pool operating permit is issued by San Diego County. We do not want to endanger our ability to open the pool as soon the county permits by taking measures that they oppose.
We realize that the rules are updated frequently, and we are watching to see what opportunities we will have to safely open the pool.
Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.
SHOA Board
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:

There have been videos and reports of cars cruising through RB going from mailbox to mailbox late at night. Apparently some checks have been stolen and the name on the check altered. If you decide to change out your mailbox for one that locks, please remember to submit an 
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.
