Remember!  The May 19 primary election is a very important one.  Among other issues to be decided is a measure that would, if approved, limit the number of terms that Wilsonville’s mayor and city councilors could serve.  Make your vote count.  Mail your ballot right away!

As you know, due to the COVID virus, the CHOA Annual Meeting was replaced this year with a Vote by Mail of the members.  The votes were turned in by April 27^th and counted shortly thereafter.  The Board then held a follow-up meeting on April 30^th (which is normally held right after the Annual Meeting) to Accept the members votes and plan Board assignments for the next year.

Here are the actions/summary of that meeting:

1. Review and Accept Vote on the Minutes for last year’s Annual Meeting- Approved
2. Review and Accept Vote of Resolution for IRS- Approved
3. Review and Accept Vote for Renewing Board members- Janet McGarrigle and Barry Hendrix –Approved
4. Review and Accept Vote for New Board member- Ken Gregson- Approved
5. At this meeting, Jan Landis resigned from the Board effective April 28^th. Jan had one year left on her term.  Jan was a great leader for the Board and will certainly be missed
6. The Board has the ability to appoint a replacement and selected and Voted for Robin Shultz who has been serving as an advisor to the Board to complete Jan’s term. Approved
7. In addition, Ron Reiter termed off of the Board after serving his second term. Ron did a nice job with the Architecture Committee and will be missed.
8. Annually, the Board makes assignments and votes on the President and Vice President position. Barry Hendrix was voted in as President and Randy Hitz was voted in as Vice President and Secretary.  Approved. In addition, the following committee assignments were agreed to:

• Janet McGarrigle- Welcoming
• Sandie Maki- Finance
• Karen Siegel- Landscaping
• Packard Phillips – Pools
• Robin Shultz- Communications
• Doug- Parker- Governance, Architectural
• Ken Gregson– Pools

The Board looks forward to working with all neighbors to continue to make Charbonneau a great place to live!

Residents of the CHOA are reminded that they should return their mail-in ballots for the Tuesday, May 19 primary election as soon as possible.  Ballots must be received by the elections office no later than 8:00 pm on election.   This is made easy since all registered voters are provided a stamped self-addressed envelope in which to return their ballot.

This election is particularly important because it includes Measure 3-556 which, if approved, would limit the number of terms that Wilsonville’s mayor and city councilors could serve.  And it would be retroactive.  Whatever you decide on this measure and on other contests, make your vote count by returning your ballot soon.

Please note that CHOA received the following note from the Golf Course/Water Company:

“I am sorry to have to send you all this notice.  We have unfortunately run into a major issue with the pumps and must do immediate repairs.  So, as of today the pumps and we will not be able to supply irrigation water till Monday.

Thanks and again sorry for the inconvenience,

Please see the following message from the Charbonneau Ladies Golf Club:

“Congratulations to all the Charbonneau residents participating in the Easter Sunday event to say Thank You to our Local First Responders and Medical Personnel.

The city of Wilsonville Police Department and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Department provided manpower and vehicles with lights and sirens ablazin’, to drive through the area.

The photographer for the Villager and the Easter Bunny (thanks Nancy Larsen) toured many of the homes on side streets in the area – especially those that notified us of having special displays.  While the Fire and Police weren’t able to get down every street in the neighborhood, they expressed how touched and appreciative they were with the rousing response from all our neighborhoods.  Watch for future editions of the Villager to see some of the many photos taken.

So, FANTASTIC JOB, Charbonneau residents!   Once again, you’ve shown what great neighbors you are.

Special thanks also to Dominoes Pizza, Wilsonville, for their generous donation of pizzas to both TVFR Station 52 and the Wilsonville Police Dept.”

Please note that there is a Thank you to our First Responders and Medical Professionals on Sunday, APRIL 12 (EASTER) at 12:00 NOON.

BE OUTSIDE YOUR HOME (STREET SIDE) TO CHEER FOR ALL THOSE WHO TAKE SUCH GOOD CARE OF US. MAKE SOME NOISE AND LET THEM KNOW WE SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS.

Contact Mary Fieweger at 503-519-4388 or Karen Siegel at 503-970-0735 if you are participating. We’ll have The Villager photographer in the area and perhaps some of the First Responders.
