OAK CREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION Board Meeting

Called to order at 7:00 p.m., all board members present: Dorothy Jarman, Fred Krug, Tom Novak, Gene Dunne and Tom Hytry.

Due to having a guest speaker there were 27 homeowners present – too many to list.

Guest Speaker: Brian Hauser – Owego Township Assessor’s Office.

Brian talked about the assessment process and also the appeal process. Brian emphasized that his office tries to set property assessment as fairly a possible based on state guideline. These guidelines don’t allow foreclosure properties to be counted. These same guidelines require using a three year window for setting the assessment (which would normally lead to a lower assessment in a rising market). Farm colony properties are used in assessing our home values.

Finally, Brain emphasized that his office only sets our assessments, it the taxing bodies that set the tax rates that we all pay.

Pool: The pool forms will be available at the pool to be filled out.

Finance: Currently we have $94,000 in assets. With the opening of the pool this amount will be decreasing.

Special Thanks: To Jim Lee and Gene Dunne for power washing the entrance walls into the subdivision. They look fantastic!

Social: The social committee decided that last year’s Margarita nights by the pool were a success. Therefore, we are extending these nights to include the second Thursdays of each month the pool is open. The next one will be Thursday, July 12 starting at 7:00 p.m. The Association will provide: ice, blender, plastic cups, salsa and chips. Bring your own drink ingredients.

Note: This is intended to be a social night to meet your neighbors and you can bring whatever you like to drink.

Just a Reminder Notice: The Oak Creek Garage Sale is scheduled for October 5th and 6th.

Next Board meeting will be at 7:00 on Monday, July 2.
