Annual Meeting:  Washington Square Estates Homeowner’s Association Inc.

April 27th,  2020  6 pm   (Approved)

Board Attendance by Zoom:  Mackenzie Hart, David Lukowski, Jennifer Kray

  1.  Meeting was called to order, and the roll call was taken (board member Joan Morley was unable to participate).  
  2. Minutes of the previous meeting of February 3, 2020 were read and approved.     
  3. Reports from Officers:  MacKenzie Hart gave the bank balance as $7778.47.
  4. Old Business:  Tree cutting on lot #43 and HOA property:  Inspection was performed by Clean Water Services.  City of Tigard issued the cut permit (introduced into Record).  The fee for removal from Mike’s Tree Service was $1,500.  The HOA will not incur a cost for the service, as it was covered by the owner of lot #43.

Chip Drop for north entrance:  Several attempts were made by the Chair to contact PGE about chip drop for the north entrance but PGE did not return any calls.  Chair has contacted Mike from Mike’s Tree Service.  Upon approval Mike could begin dumping chips on the north entrance.  Before this happens, the board will need to reach out to Dario or otherwise arrange for labor to have the chips spread.  The board  will do a walk-through with  Dario about maintenace contract (motion, seconded, agreed), and update contract with lot numbers.

  2. Stairs between Ventura Drive and Ventura Court are in need of repair.  David Lukowski has temporarily fixed the issue by adding longer screws to the stair material.  However, some of the materials estimated to be $100 to $150. (Get estimate on concrete step replacements).

Oh no! Where’s our sign?

As some of you may have already noticed the sign at the South entrance welcoming friends and neighbors to Washington Square Estates is missing.

Fret not! Upon suggestion, the board has made the decision to temporarily remove the sign. As many of you know Clean Water Services will be replacing water pipe near the location of the sign. Rather then risk the sign being damaged by the construction we proactively removed it. I promise the sign will be back! It may even get a fresh coat of paint while it’s down.

David Lukowski

David Lukowski Introduction

Hello Neighbors!

As the title says I’m David Lukowski. I’m new to Washington Square Estates, and to the board this year. I am really excited to be here with all of you in this amazing place.

We purchased the SE corner lot and adjacent home where Ventura Ct becomes Ventura Dr in December of 2019. Our family had been looking for a new home for almost a year by the time we finally moved in. We are a multi-generational family with myself, wife Sarah, her mother Janey, and our three kids ages 4, 5, 9.

Coming from St. John’s in North Portland, it is a literal and figurative breath of fresh air to be here. We’ve met so many great people and are looking forward to the coming summer activities here.

A little bit about me. I’m a software engineer by profession, but a jack of all trades at heart. I love building, gardening, creating, and fixing and the community that comes with the betterment of our surroundings. Some of you may have already seen me shoring up the steps that connect Ventura Dr to Ventura Ct. Or, picking up litter around the neighborhood, (not that there’s much to pick up:-) In St John’s I was active in the Neighborhood association as well as the neighborhood watch and block party planning committee. When the HOA was looking for new board members it seemed like the next step.

We’re looking forward to lots of future play dates. If you see us around say, “Hi!”
