2020 Year-End Summary from the CHOA Board

Written by

Happy New Year!

As 2020 comes to a close, the CHOA Board wanted to provide a short update on our activities for the year.  Starting in March, we held all of our Board meetings on Zoom.  Despite not being together in person we were still able to get things done.

Major accomplishments for 2020 include:

  1. Finalized the Reserve Study for the long-term financial health of CHOA
  2. Upgraded Rec Hall C bathroom
  3. Painted Rec Hall C interior
  4. Resurfaced A Spa, resurfaced decks on Pools A and B and resurfaced bathroom floors on Pools, A, B and C.
  5. Upgraded the entry off French Prairie and Boones Bend with new flowers and bushes
  6. Bark dusted all frontages throughout CHOA
  7. Refreshed the Landscape around the A Pool and entry to A neighborhood, and at the east end of Boones Bend. Added a new hard scape improvement at cul-de-sac on Lafayette.
  8. Striped and added Guest Parking signs to the Guest Parking areas
  9. Welcomed 23 new neighbors to CHOA
  10. Kept the Pools open into November until mandated to shut down by the Governor
  11. Hosted our first Food Truck (with more on the way!)

We look forward to working together in 2021 to support the needs of our neighbors and to keep CHOA and Charbonneau a great place to live!

Thanks,

CHOA Board

Reminder- Feeding of Wild birds or animals except Hummingbirds is Prohibited in CHOA

Written by

As you know, we have seen an increase in the number of wild animals in Charbonneau- there have been recent reports and sightings of  Skunks, Raccoons, Rats and Mice.  Also, the local Squirrel population is getting larger.  They like to chew on the sprinkler heads which can destroy them and then we have to spend CHOA funds to replace the sprinkler heads.

In order to try to stem this trend, we want to help eliminate as much of their food sources as possible.  Therefore, we are asking that each CHOA neighbor refrain from feeding any animals and/or birds anywhere in CHOA or around your home except for Hummingbirds.  This includes inside your courtyard also.

In addition, please feed your pets indoors only and don’t leave them unsupervised outside.

Thanks in advance for your help here to make CHOA a safer neighborhood.
