FITNESS CENTERS TO CLOSE AT 8:00 p.m. ON moNDAY, jUNE 29
At 3:00 p.m. today, Governor Ducey issued an Executive Order that pauses the operation of gyms effective as of 8:00 p.m. this evening, Monday, June 29. To that end, fitness centers at both Starpointe and Presidio Residents Clubs will close at 8:00 p.m. tonight, all fitness classes are cancelled, and the fitness centers and aerobics rooms shall pause operations until at least July 27, 2020, unless further extended. The pools at both Residents Clubs will remain open; however, residents must maintain physical distance and groups larger than 10 should not congregate in or around the pools.
We will keep the community apprised of any changes to our operations as updated information is released by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
Pursuant to the messaging delivered at the Governor’s press conference today, residents are reminded that they are safer at home, as the COVID-19 virus is widespread throughout the state. If you venture out into the community, please use your best judgment. We urge you to follow all physical distancing guidelines and preemptive measures recommended by the Arizona Department of Health Services, which includes wearing a face covering/mask when physical distancing of six feet cannot be maintained. If you or someone in your household is ill, or is exhibiting any symptoms, please remain off the trails and other common areas in the community.
FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED IN COMMUNITY CENTERS (eFFECTIVE jUNE 23)
Arizona continues to experience an uptick in COVID-19 cases. On June 17, Governor Doug Ducey emphasized the importance of physical distancing, staying home if you're sick, and wearing a mask or other face covering when out in public. The Governor also released a new Executive Order that allows cities, counties and towns to adopt their own policies regarding the wearing of face coverings in public. At 12:00 a.m. on June 20, Maricopa County issued a proclamation mandating that all persons must wear a face covering except under these specific exemptions, which you may read here.
In accordance with the County's directive, and effective as of 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, June 23, residents are now required to wear face coverings at all times in the Community Centers, as follows:
- Please have a mask or face covering on when you enter the Residents Clubs;
- Continue to wear the mask/face covering at all times in the Clubs, including in the aerobics room, fitness centers and locker rooms (unless showering);
- Around the pools when six feet of physical distancing with another person who is not a member of your family or household cannot be maintained (unless swimming);
- While visiting and using amenities at both the Starpointe and Presidio Residents' Clubs (this includes exercising in the Fitness Centers at both Residents’ Clubs); and
- While waiting to be seated at Lakeside Grill.
Masks/Face coverings will also be required when meeting with team members by appointment at the Community Services Offices.
Parcel 12.23 and 12.24 Blasting Operations
Newland is starting the grading activities on Parcel 12.23 and 12.24 for residential lot development. Parcels 12.23 and 12.24 are on the east side of Estrella Parkway between Westar Drive and Dry Creek Road alignments. From now through August 2020, operations to drill and shoot existing rock under these parcels will be intermittently active. These operations involve a contractor licensed in the use of explosives, permitted and monitored by the City of Goodyear Engineering and Fire Departments.
The scheduled times when drill and shoot operations may be active are typically Monday-Friday between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Morning activity may occur Monday- Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., but would likely only occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather. During scheduled activity, the general public may be inconvenienced from walking or driving if traveling Estrella Parkway in the vicinity of Parcels 12.23 and 12.24 by a street and sidewalk closure. These temporary, short closures of Estrella Parkway would typically be between Westar Drive and San Miguel Drive. These closures will typically last 10 to 15 minutes and will involve safety measures including pre-warning signage, and flagmen.
