Chuck has talked with Garret Schafer on the drain commission on Dec 11th 2023. They’re surveying where the easements are in the neighborhood as well as the channel and identifying problematic areas. Chuck will be calling him next week to check on the status of the maintenance of the drain.
Chuck had talked with Drew Benson about possibly developing the area in the small park, but it wouldn’t be feasible due to the costs of the surveying and the rerouting of the drain. The board has discussed possibly putting in a small community garden in spring 2024. More to follow.
Residents of Highgate on the Green are welcome to use the common areas that are available to them for private events such as BBQs, family get-togethers, small parties, etc. Please make sure to check with the board for availability.

General Neighborhood Business
The Halloween cornhole event so far has 6 teams and 2 teams pending. The kids Halloween movie will be later the same day.
The Board is working on updating the By-Laws and Covenants by creating a Common Interpretation Document, that would include an index of key topics with a cross reference to the applicable article and section of the bylaws and/or covenants.
The Board is looking into developing a reference of services that are offered by residents or those providers that a resident has had a good experience with and making it available to residents. More to follow.
The Board is also looking into developing a resource of assistance that could be utilized by our senior residents for things such as grass cutting, snow plowing/shoveling, garage cleaning, yard work, etc. as well as looking for a way we can put our senior residents in touch with a neighbor for some occasional help and to foster more socialization and active participation. More to follow.
The Board is looking to reach out to more residents within the community and has suggested possibly quarterly social gatherings to promote community involvement and participation.
​
Maintenance
​
The Community is currently at 22 out of 26 prepaid mowings with Dean Temple. It is probable that the mowings will be going into November and possibly be coordinated with the prepaid fall cleanup. It’s mostly the temperature and rainfall that determines the mowings. Lat year, we did end up incurring an extra mowing on top of the 26 we had already prepaid. Since this year has been dry, there is no anticipation for any additional mowings. The Board is going to talk with Dean Temple to see about possibly rolling over the unused mowings towards the fall cleanup.
​
The basketball court hoop backboard will be painted in the spring of 2023.
​
The Board is also looking to touch up the entry signs with paint in the spring of 2023. Volunteers, plans, timing and cost guestimates will be discussed. The Board is also looking into possibly having residents volunteer to “adopt” an entry sign to maintain or upgrade. We would be providing a budget for the resident to follow for plantings and such.
​
The maple tree in the commons area and the 2 pines in the Fox Hollow circle are scheduled for removal on 10/25. The removal of the shrubbery is yet to be determined. Riccardo Barreira has volunteered to remove the remaining shrubbery.
The Fox Hollow circle improvements will be coordinated by one of the residents, Annie Stokes, and she will also coordinate additional resident involvement towards the effort.
The Roxbury Run circle is currently working around some residents’ schedules to add an additional level of landscape 4x4 and add mulch.
​
Budget
​
The annual dues increase vote totals have been received. The Board has received 50 ‘YES’ votes and 5 ‘NO’ votes. This represents 75% of our households voting. This increase to $200 per year ill go into effect January of 2023. Thank you to all who have cast their vote. Your HOA will continue to be resourceful and responsible in managing our budget.
​
The Board is looking to change the dues date to March 1st to better coordinate our revenue timing with predictable expenses. The dues notice will be out in the community by January 15th. More to follow.
​
Financials
​
Account Balance update: $16, 338.21

The Schuldice Residence (next to the Schemanske’s) had a big limb break off of the tree and the tree was found to be in bad shape. Chuck looked into getting said tree removed and it would cost the board $750 for the removal and the stump grinding.
The Board is looking to reach out to more residents within the community and has suggested possibly quarterly social gatherings to promote community involvement and participation.
​
Maintenance
​
The board will be deferring tree trimming/removal until Fall 2023. As before, resident participation will be an option and a flyer will be sent out beforehand.
​
Annie Stokes, a resident of Fox Hollow court, has approached the board with a proposal for updating their circle. She has proposed removing the two pines and shrubs at the Association’s expense. The residents of Fox Hollow Court would then assume responsibility for any replacement plantings.
​
The two pines are in poor condition and we’ve been quoted $400 for removal and stump grinding. The Board has also approved the removal of said trees and shrubs.
​
To help keep costs within budget, the board is looking for residents to volunteer to help complete the spring and fall cleanups within our community. More to follow.
​
Budget
​
The Board is looking to change the dues date to March 1st to better coordinate our revenue timing with predictable expenses. The dues notice will be out in the community by January 15th. More to follow.
​
Financials
​
The board had discussed the projected expenditures for 2022, as well as adjusted the amounts for reserves and other areas of the budget. The board has also discussed the possibility of increasing the annual dues amount within 3 years. The current dues amount is still $150.00. The budget forecasted increase would be to $200 per year, per household. This new amount would leave the community with a balance of $2000 per year over planned expenses.
A ballot will be going out via US Post no later than Oct. 3rd and ballots will be turned in no later than Oct. 14th. Chuck will have a ballot box available for returned ballots.
​
Friendly Reminders
​
To keep our community as pleasing as possible, please be sure to submit ANY detailed plans for updates, maintenance, additions, etc. to the board and they shall give a response within 30 days.

Chuck had spoken with the Wixom DPW Director, Tim Sikma, about getting a copy of the of the lot lines overlaid on a satellite view of the homes, which came from the county. Three Board members have a copy of the lot lines: Chuck Pelto, Ryan Butsavich, and Ashley Joppich if residents wish to view.
The next City Council meetings will be: September 13th and September 27th.
Officer Hess let the community know what was going on regarding the crime rate as well as traffic incidents. Loon Lake Elementary has also been affected by scrappers during the construction, which is why the projects are not yet completed.
Mayor Beagle:
-
There have been concerns about speeding along Loon Lake Rd, especially since the elementary school and preschool is nearby. There is a traffic officer that keeps an eye on the school zone for speeders. For 2022, there were a total of 484 tickets issued and it averaged out to 1 warning per 16 tickets issued by the Traffic Enforcement officer.
-
Wixom road is a current issue that is being addressed due to increased development, but it is also a county road, so the attention has been brought to the Oakland County Road Commission and they have been talking about expanding the north and south sections to get traffic off of Wixom Road.
-
Loon Lake Road is looking to get resurfaced as well. More to follow.
-
The office building complex on Wixom Road where the Ford assembly plant used to be, will house a logistics company for an automotive company, a medical supply company from Livonia, and a Wayfair distribution center. This will not affect the current traffic severely.
-
The occupancy rate for Wixom is currently 99% for businesses. More buildings are being built and more land is currently in development to meet the need.
-
The city will also be constructing new signs to direct people from the Airline trail into downtown Wixom.
-
The city is also looking for funding for the overpass over the railroad on Beck Road, as well as putting together other funding sources.
-
Regarding the incident with Tribar, there are other companies that are a part of IPP and Tribar was supposed to have followed those IPP regulations to prevent the chemical spill into the waterways. Tribar is being extremely cooperative and is also actively working to change their process and once that is complete, then they will roll it out to the other companies that also follow IPP.
-
The city does have 2 wells and a water storage facility and they test the wells and storage regularly as backup to current source.
City Manager: Steve Brown:
-
GFL hasn’t been on the ball as of late, but they are working hard on improving and making it a better experience for residents overall.
-
The reason for the switch from Waste Management to GFL was due to a cheaper overall cost and Waste Management was not being competitive in their rates for the city.
-
There are similar complaints with GFL that the city has had with Waste Management, but GFL is working hard to get them resolved as quickly as possible.
-
GFL has had problems with staffing and equipment, but they are looking to get them resolved in the near future.

​
The board is getting quotes from other lawn maintenance companies and while we do have someone in mind for next year’s work, we are still negotiating with Temple for lawn maintenance for this year. The board will be following up in spring 2024.
​
The board is looking to patch and sealcoat the pathways in the park in 2023-2024 since they were last done in 2019. The board has a couple of quotes:

​

​
Financials
