Overview of Agenda

 

Budget reviewed

¨      The association brought up a number of questions, during the budget review – See below:

 

West entrance electrical box – appears it was hit by vehicle – needs repair – board will look into.

 

Trees west of the West entrance –

¨      Tagged, but not removed  -- Board to call Oakland county - 

¨      Side note:  how much to get the stumps ground down vs. just cut at ground level?

 

Stop signs at certain intersections – Can the board call Oakland County Road commission or is this something we can do ourselves?

¨      Kelsey at Fieldview (both intersections)

¨      May Center at Kaleaf

¨      Kosssuth at Maycenter 

 

Include in sub Newsletter – issue of speeding in the sub

¨      A few of the association members suggested initiating a subdivision watch to coordinate issues of vandalism, speeding and sub protection.  Potential for one of the board officers or board members could preside.

 

Indianpipe – Just East of Maycenter –

¨      Issue with clogged or broken pipe leading from South side of street to North side of street – whose responsibility?  Sub or Oakland County Road Commission?

¨      Does the board have plans for getting this fixed?

 

Suggestion was made by Jenny Carino to utilize bulk mailings vs. stamps and stuffing envelops.  Additionally, she made the suggestion to look into having local High School students work on the website development as part of their class projects.

 

There was considerable discussion regarding the few remaining homes in the sub without landscaping.  It was decided that the board would write the homeowners a letter indicating that if they do not have grass and landscaping by April 15, 2005 on April 16, 2005 the board will have contractors begin work to fulfill the subdivision rules and regulations and have the property landscaped with a lien placed on the home for the amount paid, plus interest.
