CURRENT BUSINESS

1. The new Lush Lawn contract has been paid for calendar year 2025. This contract is for Rosewind 3 only. Total cost for this year is $2,804.50, representing a savings of $87.50 over last year.

2. The letters for 2025 Rosewind 3 HOA dues were sent out to all the homeowners the first week of January. All payments are due by March 31, 2025. Any payments received or postmarked after March 31, 2025 will be assessed a late fee for each month until received. 

3. The HOA placed a lien on the house at 7189 Maplelawn, which was scheduled to be sold as a foreclosure. The date of the lien was 12-12-24 for the amount of $900. This covers late dues and late fees in arrears as of December 31, 2024.

4. Rosewind 1 is reimbursing Rosewind 3 for the current pond contract, which expires 4-30-25. Phase 1 is paid through January 2025.

5. We have replaced our Nationwide insurance policy with a new policy from Frankenmuth Insurance. The new policy cost us $1,519/yr, a large savings from the $3,018 quoted by Nationwide for 2025.

GOALS for 2025

1. We will continue to cover the cost of the pond aerators and fountain for 2025. This will be the last year we help financing the pond chemical treatments, however.

2. We will investigate getting speed limit signs for Phase 3, especially on Maplelawn Drive, where traffic has increased due to the completion of the houses in Mystic Lakes. We will request a traffic survey in the spring.

3. We will purchase replacements for soccer nets and install them in the spring.

4. Lynaire is investigating bids for asphalt repair in Aspen Park, to be done this summer.

5. We will look into getting sidewalks repaired without drains in them. The Drain Commission is in charge of repairing/replacing the sidewalks with storm drains in them. The dropped curbs at the ends of walks will be replaced by Washtenaw County Road Commission whenever they repair our roads. Fry and Jamrozy will work together on this issue.

6. Contact the Washtenaw County Road Commission at 734-327-6688 to express interest in having our roads repaired.

Other business

 It was mentioned that at the end of 2024, Rosewind 3 still has two houses with unpaid association dues, with one of those residents in bankruptcy. We have moved the other into collections and await a final determination on the bankruptcy to collect these balances.
