Board Policy on Reopening of Amenities: Tennis Courts & Instruction Approved April 23, 2020 The Windermere Board of Directors recognizes that many of our residents wish to get back to playing tennis as soon as reasonably and safely possible. The Board shares that goal. That said, the Board must balance this with the potential for individuals to get sick due to using our tennis courts, and the potential legal liability that could attach if we move too quickly. Thus, the Board has decided to have its reopening policy influenced by legal counsel, Governor Kemp’s Executive Orders, and the pre-eminent American tennis association, the U.S. Tennis Association (“USTA”). On April 2, Governor Kemp issued a statewide Shelter in Place Executive Order to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The order applies to all Georgia residents and visitors and will remain in effect until April 30 at 11:59 p.m. The Order states that “all residents and visitors of the State of Georgia are required to shelter in place within their homes or places of residence, meaning remaining in their place of residence and taking every possible precaution to limit social interaction to prevent the spread or infection of COVid-19 to themselves or any other person…” On April 20, the Governor issued an additional Executive Order, where (among other things) he stated that gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors, and hair salons could begin Minimum Basic Operations beginning Friday, April 24. None of our amenities fit this description. The Board has agreed that once the Governor has lifted the Shelter in Place Order, currently scheduled to expire on April 30, we will re-open our tennis amenities subject to certain safety and social distancing restrictions.
