Updated: 2/26/26 OPEN ITEMS: 5th Retention Basin Rehab (Rummel Mill & Stratton Mill Street) City has confirmed the access easement for this basin for the Board. The Board will work with VLP in late March to give us a quote to redo the entire area so that it is manageable and maintainable. If the budget allows, we will look into moving forward.

Vacant Lot on Rummel Mill This lot is still owned by the developer. There is an oil/gas tank buried on the property that needs to be removed and the area needs remediated before the land can be developed on. City is working with owner and ODNR to get the well marked as abandoned so that remediation can begin so that the owner can sell the lot and develop the last house so that our neighborhood can be complete.

Legal Options for Delinquent Homeowners 15 delinquent (~11%) homeowners remain as of 2/26/26 with outstanding balances equalling $16,950. Exploring options with our legal counsel to add liens on delinquent homeowners and exploring the foreclosure process on homes that have not paid HOA dues in multiple years. Landscaping Clean Up of Waterways Maintenance of ditches and waterways are HOA responsibility unless the waterway becomes completely blocked. If the flow of water is completely restricted, the city will assist. Board is discussing what we can do to clean up some of the ditches in our neighborhood with the landscaping company in-regards-to our current budget.
