New Treasurer Approved for Oak Creek Association

We would like to welcome Randy Green as our newest treasurer of our association. In a 3-0 vote by trustee’s Scott Clifton, Bruce Kullberg and Dave Cherry, Mr. Green was approved at the July 9th trustee meeting. Randy has served this position before, so he comes to us with experience and knowledge that will make the transition an easy one. Glen Tooman had served as treasurer for several years before having to step down this year because of  work and family obligations.

Delaware County Drainage Maintenance Program

The Drainage Maintenance program is a cooperative effort between the Delaware County Engineer, Delaware Soil & Water Conservation District, and Delaware County Commissioners. The Drainage Maintenance Program, authorized under Chapter 6137 of the Ohio Revised Code, is responsible for the upkeep of drainage improvements within Delaware County. In Delaware County, drainage improvements include open ditches, subsurface tile mains, surface drains, and subdivision store water systems. Mr. Milt Link, Drainage Maintenance Coordinator for Delaware Soil & Water Conservation District, spoke at our November 29, 2007 meeting to provide an overview of the importance of our subdivision to get onboard with this program. Without this program, it would be the responsibility of individual homeowners to pay for the repair of our existing drainage system, to include basins(retention and detention) storm sewers, curb inlets, manholes, open ditches, swales, and floodways. As you might imagine, the cost to repair these drainage systems could be prohibitive for most homeowners. Mr. Link passing out literature and answering questions following his presentation. More information about this program is available at http://www.delawareswcd.org/

FENCING GUIDELINES. If you are planning to build a fence, here's some helpful guidelines and requirements. Click here
 

TRASH PICK UP. We've noticed some residence are not getting their trashed picked up. Upon further investigation,
we found that either these are new neighbors who haven't contacted Rumpke to sign up for pick up, or haven't paid their bill. It's your responsibility to contact Rumpke regarding these issues. Placing trash on the curb without making proper arrangements for disposal is in violation of our Deed Restriction. If the association has to dispose of your trash,
the homeowner will be billed accordingly.

WARNING ABOUT OUR PONDS! Please remind your children that the swimming or skating is not allowed in our ponds. Considering the pond water is not clean, and the bottom is soft mud, it could be dangerous and life threatening. If you see any children or adults in the ponds, please report it to the police immediately. We also ask people to clean up after themselves, especially those fishing.

KEEPING OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BEAUTIFUL! Have you noticed trash on our streets, in the gutters, around the ponds and in neighbor's yards?
Wonder where it comes from? We have noticed that there are neighbors who don't take into consideration that the wind will be blowing and cause
papers, boxes and other trash to blow out of containers. This is especially true of newspapers, milk cartons and light debris! Let start becoming
aware about how we package our trash, using lids and heavier items to keep the lighter items from blowing out of containers, and into our streets and neighbor's yards. If everyone just takes a few more minutes to think about it, plus have more consideration for your neighbors and community, we'll have a beautiful place to live. One resident proposed we rent a street cleaning machine. This would be expensive to rent, and do you want your association dues to increase to do what everyone should be doing themselves. If everyone does their fair share, we can keep litter down. Thank you!
 

CHILD SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON OUR MINDS. WATCH OUT FOR NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS PLAYING -- Our kids will be riding bikes, skateboarding, rollerblading and playing in the streets. Please drive cautiously and be aware of our little ones. Thank you for your consideration.
