2021 was a relatively quiet year for our community. Because there were no new projects and few unexpected expenses, we were able to keep our expenses within budget. Therefore, the annual assessment will remain $165.00 for 2022.

In 2021, 4 remaining Japanese Maple trees were planted in the S. Old State entranceway beds, finally completing the project. The trees in perimeter easements and courts were edged and mulched in 2021. Otherwise, maintenance was kept to a minimum.

For 2022, other than the regular landscape and pond maintenance, the fencing will be power washed and the Pin Oak trees will be pruned so branches do no protrude through the fencing.

The HOA has been approached by a few residents about solar panels. Currently the Deed Restrictions do not allow for the installation of Solar panels. However, we are forming a committee to research what is necessary to allow for the installation. Ultimately, specifications need to be developed and approved by 60% of the 384 homeowners. Anyone interested in participating on the committee, please contact Gloria at gagaskey@sbcglobal.net, and she will put you in touch with the chairman of that committee. Updates will follow.

On behalf of all of us, Gloria, Nelson, Rosalind, Randy, and Brian, we thank you for your support and sincerely wish you and yours a safe, prosperous and Happy 2022!

Respectfully,

Your Trustees

Safety Alert!

It has been brought to our attention that there has been a recent uptick in the number of car break-ins and other crimes throughout our community. Moving forward, we would like to note that it is our priority to keep our residents safe. So we would like you to contact and notify Oak Creek Homeowners Association if this has/does happen to you so that we are able to document the incidences. If notification is timely, we would like to alert residents by an email blast and posting on our website and Facebook page. Working together, we can keep the community and each other safe.

Here are some safety tips:

Always keep your cars locked when parking in driveways and on streets;
Do not keep valuables in cars;
While away, make your house look lived in (lights on timers, neighbors picking up mailers thrown in the yard or on your porch, etc.);
Do not post, tweet, or share your travel plans on social media;
Leave a spare key and emergency phone number with a trusted neighbor or friend;
Stop your mail and newspaper delivery (or ask a trusted neighbor to retrieve);
Remove garage door openers from any vehicles in your driveway or inside your garage;
Lock garage entry doors;
Trim shrubs/trees that are close to your home;
If you have a alarm system, even if it is not monitored by police, use it. The alarm sound can scare off intruders.

and if you see something, say something! Thank you for doing your part in helping to keep our community safe!
