FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2020 5 What a year this has been with many of our amenities closed down and reopened with restrictions in social distancing, masks covering faces, and temperature checks to enter any of our facilities. Who would have thought customers in grocery stores, restaurants, nail salons, barber shops, and medical facilities would have to wear masks to enter those locations? As a retired police officer I never thought I would see the day bank customers would wear masks and it wasn't an armed robbery in progress. Many of our outdoor sports activities are now open with masks and social distancing required whenever possible during the games. Our pools are open at a percentage of the capacity and require reservations. Our Summit pool was closed by Riverside County Environmental Health and our spas are also closed. As of this writing, we are in touch with the County of Riverside in an attempt to get them to review all our safety precautions and measures built into the operation of The Summit pool. We are hopeful our explanations to County Health will result in the approval of the reopening of The Summit. The Board of Directors has formed the Finance Contracts Review Subcommittee to review pending contracts. Our intention is to review pending contracts three to six months in advance so that we can do the necessary research on the vendor to ensure that we get the best fair price for the services to be performed. This subcommittee is composed of Barry Ginnetti, Claudia Rossi, and David Sweet from Finance, Kathy Craven, Joe Barletta, and Jerry Monahan from the Board of Directors, and Eric Zarr and Saphire Rhodes from Management. This contracts review subcommittee will get three bids where possible to ensure the best service for the pricing, and also consider performance of vendors who are already providing service under current contracts. The subcommittee will also maintain a current list of pending contracts allowing three to six month preparation, especially on the larger contracts. The Board of Directors met in several emergency sessions to review county guidelines in order to open our facilities, close facilities as directed by the county guidelines, and to reopen our facilities even with restrictions. We are going through an unprecedented time in our lives caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We all miss the gatherings with our family and friends and being able to do the activities we have done over the years we have lived at Four Seasons. Please be patient with each other, the staff of FirstService Management, our committee members, and the Board of Directors. We are doing our best to serve the interest of all our residents. We have had a seven-member Board of Directors since May of this year. K. Hovnanian is no longer represented on the board since the build out was completed. Your directors are: Larry Workman, Gracy Luna, Lila Bonner, Joe Barletta, Chief Financial Officer, Pete Antoine, Secretary, Kathy Craven, Vice President, and Jerry Monahan, President. Stay healthy, be safe, and I hope to see you around the Four Seasons community. If you want to contact the Board about any issue, you may either email me at theboard@fourseasonsbeaumont.org or call (951) 212- 8898. Message From The Board By Jerry Monahan, Board President
