“Stay Home” Proclamation and SVCA Operations

Community Announcements

As we are all aware, at 5:30pm on March 23rd, Governor Inslee put into effect a “Stay at Home” Proclamation entreating Washington’s 7.5 million residents to Stay at Home for at least two weeks as the state tries to slow the growing spread of the novel coronavirus.

Inslee announced that non-essential businesses shut down, and HOA’s that provide emergency repairs, public safety and security, member assistance, etc. are deemed essential. With that said, below are the changes to SVCA’s operations effective immediately:

  7. Administrative Office employees are all working remotely except the ASM who will manage the front office phones, member requirements, and will supply at-home workers with on-site assistance. Office hours will be 9:00am – 4:00pm M-F.
  8. The General Manager will remain on-site overseeing all Operations
  9. Accounting will operate a staggered schedule both telecommuting and on-site to ensure both task completion and mandatory social distancing
