Please help CHOA maintain our livability.  RATS have been seen and confirmed around (and in some cases below) some houses

We believe this is due to residents feeding the wildlife.

There is only one birdseed that can be used that will not attract Rodents

Janet MCGarrigle did some research to find out what to do:

 I called Backyard Bird Shop where we have been purchasing bird seed for quite a while.  We have only had trouble with one bold squirrel which we have been turning the hose on to scare off.  We have been diligent about cleaning off any spilled seed from our deck surface.  However, we agree that we now need to take further steps.  I learned today  there is a birdseed available that squirrels, rats, skunks, raccoons, and other mammals will not eat – but birds love it.  It’s called:

“HOT MEATS” may be found at:

We do not want Rodents to overtake CHOA, please store your birdseed, that you may already own, in heavy duty containers with lids, clean any left over seed off of decks, etc.

***Golf information:   The golf course is putting in updated irrigation controllers, this MAY cause a disruption in the irrigation around your house.  Have Patience, it will come back on.  In the interim call Steve (see info below) and plan on hand watering until the system is fully upgraded

Gutters:

At the Annual Meeting there was a request for an earlier Gutter Cleaning:

• Per CHOA’s budget there is only one cleaning a year,  For the winter 2019/2020  gutter cleaning will start in November and continue until all homes are completed.
•  A flyer will be left on your door or gate, informing you that your home’s gutters have been cleaned
• You as a homeowner will be responsible for any additional gutter cleanings.
• Please contact Steve for a list of contractors that have been used in Charbonneau.  We cannot put the list on the website legally.

Irrigation Concerns:

• At the start of the season, the irrigation system was off on several days, and so the irrigation system could not be tested for repairs/adjustments
• Currently there are three full time irrigation people working to get all systems up and running
• If you have a system that does not seem to be functioning properly, please contact Steve so that he can get the information to these three people
• Be patient and know that work is being done.  You may need to hand water until all systems are up and running

Golf course side note: The golf course has recently spent over 100, 000 to upgrade the course sprinklers, this should result in better irrigation there too.

Hope to see you Saturday (6/15) at the REC HALL open house to celebrate our addition of a kitchen.  From 10:00 am to 3:00 pm 8298 SW Lafayette

Each of the question that brought up during our Open Forum were addressed at our board meeting on May 8th:

• Concern about the speed of traffic on Fairway Dr and the safety of walkers especially
  • Many of the board members took the time to drive at different speeds on Fairway Dr and observe the speed limit in other parts of Charbonneau.  It was felt that the speed of 25 miles per hour was too fast for our small street, even though it is an accepted speed in Residential Areas.
  • Robin Shultz our new Ad Hoc member will work with Karen Lourie and the City of Wilsonville to solve the problem; hopefully new signage
• Parking on the street and concern about the need for safety of emergency vehicles access
  • Robin Shultz and Steve Chinn will work with the City of Wilsonville to see if we can get more No Parking signs on our streets
• The current gutter cleaning schedule, request to have it earlier.  Now scheduled for January and February
  • Steve Chinn will work with the contractor to see if we can move our one, per year, Gutter cleaning to November and December
• Chimney’s in need of cleaning
  • Ron Reiter and Steve will do a drive through our neighborhoods to look at both Chimney’s and Roofs and then send letters to residents who need to clean the moss/mold from the External Chimney area or Roof area.  A suggested contract list will be provided with each letter.
  • External ascetic’s is important to maintain value of all our homes
