Unfortunately the spa heater is currently broken. Apologies for the inconvenience. We are looking to have it repaired as soon as possible. The pool heater is also being replaced this month. Stay tuned for more updates.

Spa heat back on!
Welcome to Spring!
The spa heat is back on and the pool is open. You must reserve your usage in advance. Enjoy safely!
Vote now for new roofs!
The Board needs you to send in your vote for the new roofs today!
Have a question or concern about the vote? Email us at help@caminodelprado.org.
Not voting is effectively a vote for a dues increase.
If we don’t get enough votes then we will have to raise dues to get the funds, and defer the project until we have enough funding. The Board would prefer to secure funding now, and begin replacing our very old and fragile roofs as soon as possible.
To everyone that has already voted, thank you.
We need your vote!
By 2023 the Association needs to begin replacing our roofs, if not sooner. Our current roofs are old and made of a material that costs extra to insure. Our original reserve study estimates $859,500 to replacing the roofs, however, we recently received a new estimate at $1,435,560. That’s a $576,060 difference.
The Board would prefer to tackle this as a special assessment of $6,600/unit because that allows us to keep the regular dues low. Authorizing this special assessment also makes roof replacement more possible to happen earlier.
But we need you! We can only proceed if at least 44 members return their ballots! Ballots are going in the mail February 23rd. If you don’t receive a ballot soon, please let us know. Or if you have any other questions, please reach out to help@caminodelprado.org.

COVID-19 Playground Safety
We want to take a moment to remind everyone about playground safety during this pandemic. Here is the current guidance on playgrounds from Santa Clara County:
Can I take my kids to the playground?
Yes, playgrounds may be open so long as they are outdoors. Indoor playgrounds and indoor amusement centers (such as bounce houses and ball pits) must remain closed, but outdoor playgrounds may be open, and you can take your kids to play there. Adults who can safely wear face coverings and children (other than very young children) must wear face coverings at the playground, and children should be guided in rigorous hand hygiene before and after playing on playground equipment. Adults must also maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from people from different households.
Please also look at the CA State guidance on https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Playground-Flyers.aspx
Note too that this is general guidance from the county/state, and that each family is responsible for the risks they take in this environment.
Please follow these rules, and make sure your children are following these rules. The Board will evaluate closing the playground if these rules are not followed.
