Pool Capacity Reminder

As a reminder, members may check the headcount status on the pool website here: http://enet.hopto.org/gbpool.html. Please note that this website sometimes takes 10-30 seconds to render with data depending on website traffic and your individual connection speed. Note: The middleware in the system is still being worked on by the service provider so the capacity page may not function correctly. We’ll post an update and send a tweet when it’s reliable again.

Amenity Updates

As mentioned in prior communications, we were able to schedule and begin the installation process of the sport court lines for two pickleball courts and basketball court lines in the side parking lot. We believe this work will be completed within the next few business days, weather permitting. We will be procuring pickleball court nets and placing those in the side lot soon. Members may utilize the side lot sport courts on a first-come-first-serve basis. If the Board finds that use of the sport courts is not being shared equitably, we may introduce time limits on the sport courts.

Designated Smoking Area

Reminder, there is no vaping or smoking or tobacco products outside the Pool's Designated Smoking Area. The Pool's Designated Smoking Area is located on a bench on the west side of the main parking lot that separates the parking lot from the park area. We realize the Designated Smoking Area sign is missing, and we are in the process of procuring a new sign that will clearly mark that area, and cleaning up the sand-filled bucket used as an ashtray. Please respect your fellow Pool members by abiding the Pool rules with respect to not smoking, vaping or using tobacco products on the Pool deck, and keeping the smoking area neat.

Cleaning Up After Yourselves and Your Members + Recycling

Our NV Pools staff and our Snack Bar staff have notified the Board that they have witnessed repeated problems with Pool members and guests leaving discarded food and waste behind either on tables or on the Pool deck. This is unacceptable behavior and disrespectful to your fellow Members. Please be courteous and DO THE RIGHT THING by properly discarding any waste you generate in the trash cans.
In addition, in 2019, the Pool Club had a recycling program in place at the Pool. The Pool's trash vendor, Republic Services, discontinued the Pool's recycling program in the 2019 Season due to finding too much trash (i.e., food scraps, liquids, etc.) co-mingled with recycling. The Board decided at the June 2022 Board meeting to re-introduce limited recycling of aluminum cans ONLY to start, to better assess if Members and guests can comply with this simple recycling stream. If this is successful, the Board may further decide to introduce plastic and paper recycling in the future.
