CCC President ’ s Corner By ANNE SHEVLIN

We have many important goals for this year |
Spring is a busy time of year for the Charbonneau Country Club Board of Directors . Our nominating committee has concluded interviews for residents interested
SHEVLIN in joining the board in the May elections . The board consists of nine members , three of whom reach the conclusion of their term each year , and elections are held in order for all residents to have the chance to select new board members . Directors may serve a total of two three-year terms , and then must step down . After a period of one year , a previous board member may run again . This cycle repeats each spring , with the intent of welcoming three
|
new directors bringing fresh ideas and expertise , while maintaining six directors in order to sustain continuity year-to-year .
We have an unprecedented number of residents who will be on the ballot this year – seven qualified candidates are running for three open positions . We are pleased to have this much interest from residents wishing to take part in shaping the future of our lovely community . Please see the article elsewhere in this edition , highlighting the strengths and experiences of each candidate , all of whom would serve our board and commnuity well . Be sure to look for your ballot in the US mail and return it no later than May 15 .
Also on May 15 is the CCC Homeowners Association annual meeting . Beginning at 6:30 p . m . in the Clubhouse dining room , each current director will review the accomplishments of their committees and areas of responsibility . In addition , a financial overview will be provided , along with the state of the HOA and future plans . Results of the board election will be announced at this time . Please plan to join us for this informative meeting .

In March , the board held a work session to choose goals for the upcoming year . Goals guide the decisions of the directors and are based in part on scheduled maintenance or replacement for some of our assets , or from input gathered at committee meetings . Board committee membership consists primarily of residents and are chaired by a director . There are a number of very active standing committees including communications , emergency preparedness and public safety , asset management , civic affairs , activities , financial oversight , architectural control and the new resident welcome committee . The board goals for the 2024-2025 year , with an approximate date of conclusion , are listed below :
� Completion of the marina and adjacent parking lot – April-May 2024
� Completion of the cover over the outdoor sports courts — May-June 2024
� Collaborate with the city of Wilsonville to determine resident interest in a bike / pedestrian path on French Prairie Road , and , if approved , work with the city to develop plans for the path – 2024-2025
|
� Evaluate staffing needs for the 2025 budget cycle – October 2024
� Renew the Financial Oversight Committee and develop a Financial Dashboard – May-September 2024
� Develop a long-range plan to upgrade the entire CCC irrigation system – 2024-2025
� Develop options and cost estimates to increase the number of parking spaces in the Village Center lots – October 2024
� Optimize the new resident packet — July 2024
As some of the goals are completed , the board may select new goals to add during the year , depending on community input , identified needs or safety concerns . The report from the recently completed 2040 Plan will guide these and future board goals .
Spring is a beautiful time of year in Charbonneau . Visit the park , go for a walk or bike ride , or meet with friends for coffee or lunch outside at the Market Café in the Golf Pro Shop . As the weather warms up and the flowers begin to bloom , we hope everyone will be able to get outside and enjoy the beauty of our community .

The 2040 Vision Task Force unveiled its vision for Charbonneau Country Club after six months of work by its eight resident volunteers , two board members , one staff member and two Wilsonville city participants . It started with drafting and sending out a survey to residents . It ended by crafting a |
vision statement and developing a cohesive set of priorities . Throughout the process , the task force remained focused on its mandate : identifying a roadmap that states clear priorities for the board to consider as strategies over the next 16 years .
In doing that , an important factor for the task force was being true to what makes Charbonneau the distinctive , special place it is . Like the original vision 50
|
years ago , and the 2020 Strategic Plan , elements of the 2040 Vision aligned with Charbonneau ’ s fundamental values of ambiance , beauty , neighborly charm and an abundance of recreational and social opportunities , all supporting an active , healthy lifestyle .
This led to defining a vision statement that would be the North Star for establishing the strategic priorities .
