Announcements The November member statements went out today and there have been some questions about the food and beverage requirement. Your statement shows that your outstanding minimum balance is due on 12/31/20 when in fact the deadline for all food and beverage minimum spending requirements has been extended to 12/31/2021. We’ve added a new weapon to our COVID-19 sanitation and safety protocols toolbox this week. We are now fogging public indoor areas daily with odor free M.I.S.T.™, a disinfecting solution paired with the M.I.S.T.™ fogger that is 100x more powerful than ordinary disinfectants. This application is for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It also kills 30 other bacteria and viruses including those causing Norovirus, MRSA, Staph, E. Coli, Salmonella, & Hepatitis A, B & C. See the video demonstration here. Upcoming Elections The Recreation District Board of Supervisors Election is fast approaching on Tuesday, December 8th!

COVID-19 Update We continue to monitor the escalating number of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations and the devastating loss of life. The policies and procedures previously communicated have proven to be difficult to enforce and punitive in some cases. These polices are intended to provide a best practices framework for members, guests and staff and may in some cases not be applicable. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines and how they apply to you and your unique circumstances, please contact Laurie Evans, General Manager at levans@universitypark-fl.com. The CDC has recently changed their guidelines regarding quarantine after exposure to a COVID-19 positive individual and those recommendations are reflected in our policies.
If you have been exposed to an individual that has tested positive for COVID-19 you must get a PCR
test 3 days after the exposure and have received a negative test result before returning to the Club.
Should you choose not to get tested, you must quarantine for 7 days and have no symptoms before
returning to the Club.
All members and their guests travelling from out of state or out of the country must quarantine for 7
days in the absence of a negative PCR test taken 3 days after arrival prior to visiting the Club and
using the indoor facilities.
Members and their guests may play golf in private or Club carts after having received a negative
PCR test prior to the end of the 7 day quarantine when possible after travelling from out of state
and/or after a COVID-19 exposure.
The State testing site on Cattleman Road and the Robert J. Taylor Community Center on 301 offer
both rapid and PCR testing. Both sites are open 7 days per week from 9 am to 5 pm. Given the
unreliable results we are seeing with the rapid testing, we are requiring PCR test results for staff and
members at this time. CVS, on University Parkway also has drive-thru PCR testing. Pre-registration
is required. Click here for more information.
As previously communicated, the PBM Management team will be taking on the important role to
notify members who have been exposed to COVID-19 to avoid the potential risk that a member who
was exposed is not notified. We ask that you notify Laurie Evans, General Manager, directly if you
test positive for COVID-19 and Club management will notify members who have been potentially
exposed.
Residents and members have been asking about having COVID-19 vaccinations at the Club similar
to the flu shot events. We have contacted our vendor and they have us on a list of customers who
have requested this service when they are able to obtain the vaccine. We will keep you posted.
Please review the following COVID-19 protocols when visiting the club facilities.
• Masks must be worn at all times when inside any of the Club buildings including the Golf
and Tennis Pro Shops, Fitness Centre and Administrative offices.
• Please wash your hands frequently and maintain social distancing whenever possible.
• When dining at The Park Grille masks must be worn at all times when traversing the dining
room to your table or the restrooms and when stopping at tables to talk to other members.
We also ask that you keep your mask up unless actively eating or drinking and when a
service staff member approaches your table.
• When dining outdoors on The Café, please keep your mask on until you are seated at a table
and when entering the dining room to use the restrooms.
• Masks should be worn at any time that social distancing is not possible including when
using the practice areas at the golf course, the putting green, chipping area and driving
range.
• Reservations are required for visiting the Fitness Centre to maintain safe occupancy levels.

Members are encouraged to ride solo in golf carts and to use their personal carts whenever possible.Member Events Congratulations to the Answer to Cancer SRQ team who was recognized as the Top Team in this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event held earlier this year at University Park.

up with member play and events that sparked some new friendships
and different opponents. We look forward to more exciting new
