We have now received all but a few late payments of HOA annual dues from our residents. We would like to thank all residents for their cooperation in assisting the BOD’s in nearly completing this process.

*The BOD's would appreciate all new (2020/2021) residents to send their name(s), address, phone number and email address to stonegatesub@gmail.com - subject "new resident", to assist us in communicating with you.

Our current financial statement...
12
Due to the board receiving most outstanding association dues payments, we are now in a very good position regarding our current financial status. So we are now commencing the process of developing our 2021/2022 budget for your review and approval at our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, November 9th, 2021.

Items of interest...
15
*Mail boxes - Just to clarify from our previous newsletter. Residents still have an option to keep their existing (original) mailbox, or replace them with a new approved mail box. But if you decide to keep your mailbox, please ensure it is regularly maintained and painted. If you require any repairs to your current mailbox, please contact Michael Philport at 248-926-5426 and he will assist you with repairs where possible.
16
The Board has reviewed a number of different style mail boxes over at HD and Lowes etc, then decided on
17
a number of acceptable mail boxes, which we will approve for installation at your homes. If you are
18
considering replacing your mailbox, please submit a request to stonegatesub@gmail.com - subject “mail
19
boxes”…we will then send you photos of these approved new mail boxes.
20
21
*Residents directory - We have now sent out the initial updated 2021 sub division directory to the residents we
22
have received email addresses. If you would like an electronic copy sent to you, please send a request to
23
 stonegatesub@gmail.com - subject "directory". Please include your name, address and phone number.
24
25
*There are now a number of front yard trees with lower branches hanging over our streets, which makes for a
26
dangerous situation when vehicles try to avoid. Please remove these branches from your front yard trees.
27
28
*After mowing your lawns, please blow off the grass cuttings from our roadways and back onto your property,
29
(especially riding lawn mower users). These grass cuttings left on the road end up blocking your roadway drains.
