From the April 30 Balance Sheet, our starting May Reserve Fund is $1,934,099.82, compared to the starting April reserve fund of $1,895,894.47, which is an increase of $38,205.35, an increase of 20.2%. We deposited our planned 2025 CY monthly amount of $34,086.00 and had earned interest of $4,119.35.
I will continue to keep you updated.
Radon
Posted on Apr 4th, 2025
By Gayle Hinman
Radon levels in Novi, Michigan, are typically highest during the colder winter months. This increase is primarily due to homes being sealed tightly to conserve heat, which reduces ventilation and allows radon to accumulate indoors. Additionally, the operation of heating systems can create pressure differences that draw more radon from the soil into the home.
In contrast, during the warmer summer months, homes are often ventilated more due to air conditioning, and the reduced pressure differences lessen the amount of radon entering the home. However, it’s important to note that radon levels can fluctuate daily and seasonally, so testing at different times of the year can provide a more comprehensive understanding of your home’s radon levels.
Given that approximately one in every four Michigan homes has radon levels exceeding recommended safety thresholds, it’s advisable to test your home for radon regardless of the season. If elevated levels are detected, mitigation measures can be implemented to reduce the risk.
Why The Increase
Posted on Apr 4th, 2025
By Gene Malymeik,
As you know, we increased the monthly association fee this year. The Board is often asked why so much ($40.00), and what do we get for that increase?
As I explained at last year’s annual meeting, the cost of doing business is all encompassing; labor, and materials, service call fees, etc., and we expect our costs to continue to increase for the foreseeable future, as you see daily in the news.

Mowing Lawns
By Gayle C. Hinman on
May 14, 2025
FYI
Great Oaks mowed only the front yards last week due to the heavy rain we had during the early part of the week. This avoids big ruts in the side and back lawns. This week mowing will occur on Thursday and all lawns will be completely mowed.
