Happy Holidays from the Siena Oaks HOA
The Pool is Now Open
Dear residents,
We hope this email finds you all well and in good health.
The Board of Directors is happy to announce the reopening of the community pool.
Palm Beach County has now issued Emergency Order 28 rescinding previous orders and the Association has received confirmation from legal counsel that the pool may be opened but that certain CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing must still be complied with.
The following guidelines must always be adhered to regarding the use of the pool. Any violation of the following guidelines will be cause to shut the pool down again at the Board’s discretion.
- There is a wall mounted hand sanitizer under the breezeway. Please make sure to sanitize your hands upon entering the pool gate. The bathrooms and pool furniture are being sanitized several times a week by the janitorial company.
- To comply with social distancing guidelines there are a limited number of chaise lounges and chairs that have been placed 8 feet apart from each other. The chairs and tables CANNOT be moved from where they are located.
- You CANNOT bring your own chairs and flotation devices are never allowed.
- You must always wear a mask while on the pool deck except when you are in the pool, please maintain your distance away from other pool users when possible.
- Because of the limited seating and because CDC guidelines for social distancing are still in effect, no guests can use the pool at this time.
- Please always abide by the posted rules and enjoy the pool responsibly.
- The pool and parking lot are always monitored. Any violations of the above referenced rules can cause the pool to be shut down again at the Board’s discretion.
Also, regarding the gate on Allamanda that leads to the school, the fence and gate are being replaced by Budget Fence and Gate. They are currently in the process of applying for the permit with the local municipality. Once the permit has been issued the new fence and gate will be installed. The lock on the gate will in all probability be keyed the same as the tennis courts and pool bathrooms.
Anyone who needs a key can purchase one at the management office during the hours of operation for $2 apiece to cover the cost of the key. Please email me or call me in advance as keys run out from time to time and need to be restocked.
Lastly, unfortunately there are still some pet owners that are not cleaning up after their pets. It is very important that you do clean up after your pet so as not to potentially spread bacteria throughout the community. Your cooperation with this is appreciated.
As always please contact the management office with any questions or concerns you may have.
Regards,
Brian Flores Community Association Manager

Alligators Sighted in the Canal
WARNING
2/20/20
Several alligator’s have been spotted in the canal behind Siena Oaks Circle West. Please use extreme caution allowing children and pets near the water.
The FWC (Fish & Wildlife Commission) has been contacted.
Property Manager Update (2/20/20):
The FWC trapper was onsite yesterday morning. He said he was going to search the canal behind Siena Oaks west, and if he found anything, he would bring it by the office for me to view. Since I was gone by 12:30pm, I don’t know if the gator was trapped or not. I will follow up with FWC this afternoon.
