TKPOA COVID-19 Operations Update

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager

AS OF NOVEMBER 16TH, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced immediate actions to slow the spread of the COVID-19 Virus. Effective November 17th, 2020, Purple Tier restrictions are in place for El Dorado County including the closure of indoor pools.

As a precaution to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and to protect the health and safety of our residents and staff, the TKPOA Pavilion Office has also been closed on the weekends to the TKPOA property owners and the public.

As of December 4th, 2020 the TKPOA Pavilion Office is closed to the public.

As of November 17th, 2020, the TKPOA indoor pool facility has been closed.

When conditions improve, we will plan to reopen the indoor swimming pool and weekend front desk at that time. Updates will be posted on the TKPOA website at www.TKPOA.com.

Based on the current safety precautions, amenity closure and workload the TKPOA has adjusted its staffing levels through staff layoffs as follows:

One part time front desk staff member (without pay). Eight part time pool attendants (without pay). One full time pool supervisor (without pay)

The TKPOA Board of Directors has not approved any additional severance pay for any laid off positions. The TKPOA will continue to monitor the staffing levels of the onsite and remote staff to determine if additional layoffs are required due to safety precautions and current workload.

Our TKPOA essential staff are still working and are available in-person at the Pavilion Office, by phone, and online during regular business hours of 8:30 am– 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday (Closed Saturday and Sunday). Mask requirements have been in effect since March 20th, 2020 when visiting the Pavilion Office in person.

The TKPOA will continue to provide essential services as required from the Water Company, facilities, security and administration departments. The TKPOA facility maintenance staff, Water Company staff and security patrol officers have been instructed to take extra precautionary steps when responding to calls for service to maintain social distancing while responding to property owners.

All Board of Directors, Committee, and Town Hall Forum meetings will be held as a web-hosted conference call. No in-person attendance will be permitted for these meetings at this time aside from essential staff members with proper social distancing. Information on how to join meetings via web-hosted conference call is posted on the TKPOA website under the Events–Calendar page or can be requested from the front desk, (530) 542-6444 or info@tahoekeyspoa.org.
