Ordering a bulk item pick up from Republic Services has not gone very smoothly this year and the reason is that there was a miscommunication between their customer service department and the bulk item pickup group. The information we received earlier in the year from customer service about free pickups is wrong and was only for residential accounts. Seabridge HOA is a commercial account, not residential, so there are no free pickups. Homeowners must pay a nominal fee of $26.32 for each bulk item pickup. The service is still offered and is a relative bargain, it’s just not free. Call Republic Services (formerly Rainbow) at 714-847-3581 and use the HOA account number 3-0605-0072036 when ordering. Any items longer than 6 feet will not be picked up.

A friendly reminder to leash pets, pick up after pets and keep pets out of the pool and tennis court areas. Owners are required to pick up after their pets immediately in the common areas and exclusive use decks and patio areas. Seabridge HOA will issue warning letters and can impose a fine on the owner of the pet up to $750.00 for failure to comply

Additionally, Orange County’s animal law states, “A person having custody of any animal shall not permit, either willfully or through failure to exercise due care or control, any such animal to defecate upon any public area, private property, county park or beach. The person having custody of any animal shall immediately remove any feces deposited by such animal”. Pet owners, please leash your pet (s), as per local Orange County and California Laws.

The Board of Directors has voted to return to the normal pool hours of Sunday – Thursday 6:00 am – 10:00 pm and Friday – Saturday 6:00 am – 11:00 pm. The new BBQ brushes have been installed and the area is ready to use again. Enjoy!

With Spring here and Summer approaching, there are some new changes to the pool area. The new BBQs are in place and ready for use. There is one brush available to use to clean off the grills and new brushes are on order. The pool is currently closed because the heater is in need of replacement. A new one is on order and will be installed shortly. In the interim, the spa is still open for use. The pool company comes every week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the summer months and the janitorial service is scheduled weekly on Monday and Thursday to clean the pool deck area.
