With the current low temperatures, our gutters have been too frozen for Dave Stone to clean them. Meteorologists are forecasting rain and hopefully with warmer temperatures the gutters will thaw out. Dave should be able to get back to cleaning them. Thank you for your patience.
Dear CHOA Members,
The State of Oregon is requiring us to make some safety-related improvements to Pool F&G. We must widen the pool deck along the sides of the pool so that there is more room to walk between the end of the lounge chairs and the pool itself, and we must install a higher fence around the pool. We have hired contractors to accomplish all this work before pool season starts at the end of May.
The work will start very soon, possibly next week, weather permitting. It will involve excavating the soil on both sides of the pool deck to increase the width by 3 feet, pouring new concrete, adding drainage and a low retaining wall to the sides of the pool deck, and replacing the fence with a higher fence. Of course, the landscaping will be impacted somewhat, but we do not expect to have to take out any trees – although we will have to prune the multi-trunked magnolia that currently hangs over the pool deck.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact our property manager.

Dear CHOA Members,
We are seeking individuals who are interested in serving in board positions, such as secretary, treasurer, or communications chair. Board terms begin in May and last three years. This year, as in most, three members will be retiring from the board, as members are limited to serving two terms.
The board meets between seven and twelve times annually, with each meeting lasting about two hours. The work between meetings varies, but most members typically spend only a small number of hours each week on board-related tasks.
Serving on the board is a great opportunity to contribute your expertise and experience to help maintain and enhance the CHOA community we all value. It’s also a wonderful way to meet other members and enjoy their company.
If you’re not ready to serve on the board, we encourage you to consider volunteering for one of our committees:
If you are interested or have any questions about board or committee positions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any board member. We’d be happy to provide more details.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our community!
Dear CHOA Member,
The CHOA Board has started preparations to address a new requirement from our homeowners Master Policy insurance provider, State Farm.
Please be assured that this is not an emergency, and no immediate action is required from homeowners at this time. There is no need for you to contact State Farm Insurance.
Background
As you may know, insurance companies worldwide are facing challenges. To mitigate their risks and maintain affordable rates, insurers are implementing new requirements. One significant concern for homeowners associations is water damage resulting from plumbing leaks. CHOA has experienced more than its fair share of costly water damage incidents and as a result, our insurance costs went up last year.
State Farm, like many other insurers, is requiring an inspection of all homes for potential plumbing issues. The CHOA Board is in the early stages of planning how to best meet this requirement. While we do not yet have all the details, we want to keep you informed about the situation.
State Farm’s Requirements
The CHOA Board’s Response
The Board is currently working to establish a list of requirements for the plumbing contractors we will hire, as well as to formulate questions for discussions with local plumbing companies. Once we have a clear plan in place, we will communicate the next steps with you.
What We Know About Costs
What Should Homeowners Do Now?
The property managers (see contact information below) and I are available to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We will keep you updated as we move forward.
Best regards,
Randy Hitz
CHOA President
