Governor Newsom issued a stay at home order a week ago, on March 19
th
. This included the closure of non-essential businesses to control the spread of COVID-19. The Lake Forest II Board of Directors voted to close the Clubhouse and all amenities until the risk of community spread has decreased, and the state and federal governments allow the reopening of facilities such as ours.
There are essential services the Association provides that will continue for the health and safety of the community. Although the Clubhouse and business offices are closed, Association maintenance staff is continuing to work in the community, including landscape in the parks and paseos, repairing walls, clearing Woods areas, performing basic pool maintenance, painting, and other essential services. The Clubhouse will also be tented for fumigation this weekend.
The balance of the staff is working from home and/or is on call to respond when needed to address emergency issues and essential services. We are continuing to provide services to the community, including:
- Accounting: Accounting is still processing payments, paying bills, providing statements for refinancing, and assisting homeowners with issues or questions. cchristenson@lf2.org or x18
- Community Services: Architectural applications are still being processed digitally. Although violation letters have been suspended for the most part, staff is informally reaching out to residents to let them know of issues that will be considered a violation in the future and encouraging them to correct during this time if able. Staff is also available to answer questions and provide assistance. jmucha@lf2.org or x13
- Maintenance: Maintenance operation are continuing with employees practicing social distancing from one another and from residents. bfinch@lf2.org or x21
- Recreation: Despite the postponement of many scheduled events, the Recreation Manager is available to answer question and take suggestions. roliveira@lf2.org or x28
