Meeting Minutes submitted by: Mike Hoffman
Attachment: President’s Report
I have a number of topics I would like to cover this evening.
First, if you aren’t current on dues, see Bruce so you can vote on any issues that come before us this evening.
My apologies. I was premature in announcing that Mike McCready, the Township Supervisor, will be our guest speaker. He had a conflict and won’t be able to be here until 8:30 pm. So, at best we will only have a few minutes with him.
The Association does not own any property. However, we do take care of the County-owned land at the entranceway, the paper road at Kingswood and Pickering and the cul-de-sacs. The neighbors around the cul-de-sac along Pickering and those around the other cul-de-sacs also do a great job on those.
For several decades, Otto Hugi oversaw all the landscape issues. Due to declining health, he no longer can do that and we are very grateful to Paul Schultz who has taken that on.
There is a lot of work that is going on at the entranceway. The controls for the sprinkler system have been replaced and soon the backflow preventer will be raised and replaced. Paul is personally doing a lot of the work including replacing the lighting system. Next up will be a major trimming of the plantings and next season you will notice improvements in the planting of annuals. Thank you so much Paul.
When we get to the budget, you will see that our biggest expense is the spring and fall clean-up, cutting all of the grass, and general maintenance of the entranceway, the cul-de-sacs and the paper road at Kingswood.
Most of you know we have a website. I am no expert and would love to get some help with it. One current issue is that we don’t have something called an SSL and as a result many people coming to the site get a warning that it might be a dangerous site. Wouldn’t it be great if we could pay our dues through the website for example? I am sure we have many people in the subdivision with the necessary expertise to set that up for us.
One recent addition to the website is that you can now find the plat drawings on the site. I will take some photos tonight so that we can update the site with pictures of current residents as opposed to the pictures there now which were taken when I had brown hair.
Approximately four years ago, Lloyd Silberman led the Board in working on revising the Restrictions. The Board engaged a law firm that specialized in this type of work and the Board put in a great deal of effort on it and we spent about $10,000. The vast majority of residents who responded were in favor of adopting the new Restrictions but a large number of people simply didn’t respond.
I made a few calls this past year to people who hadn’t responded and in almost every case, the people I talked to were inclined to agree to the change.
The reality is that there are legal problems with the old restrictions and they are out of date. For example, wouldn’t it be good if you could vote by proxy or we could hold a meeting using Zoom? The old restrictions technically require voting by 3 or 4 different groups of properties in the subdivision based on when each section was developed.
I don’t want to get into the details today but I do hope the Board will re-engage on this subject.
Our fiscal year began on July 1 when the new dues of $200 per year took effect. We hadn’t had a dues increase in about a decade. We try to maintain a bank balance of $25,000 for emergencies and special expenses. As of the end of the fiscal year we were down to about $9,000, so the dues increase was critical. We haven’t done a special assessment in more than two decades. So, I believe from a money standpoint we are doing very well. All of the fix-up at the entranceway will be contained within the funds we have on hand.
Probably the number one concern I hear is about the deterioration of our roads. We are not alone. It is a problem throughout the Township, throughout our State and around the country. Road repair is very expensive. Presently the Township will repair roads based on doing the worst ones first. They can pay to replace a section of road out of general revenues but a complete road replacement other than on a main County or State road requires a Special Assessment District. Individual home owners on the streets repaired pay for the road replacement over a 10- or 15-year period. The cost is frequently between $15,000 and $40,000 per home. It is my understanding that the Township is engaged in a study right now to look at alternative funding approaches.
As many of you know, the Township changed garbage collection companies not that long ago. The new trucks are bigger and as a result, they have a harder time navigating the cul-de-sacs which results in more damage than we were used to. I know Paul is looking at that and arranging for gravel to be put down on at least one of them to eliminate the ruts.
The next topic that I hear a lot about is snow plowing. The Township prioritizes roads in categories of A, B, and C in terms of priority. Our subdivision is an A because of the hills which means we have the highest priority for plowing and salting. Bloomfield Twp is the only community in Oakland County that does its own plowing rather than the County Road Commission. As a result, we have better service than most.
For as far back as any of us can remember, the Association has paid for supplemental plowing by a private vendor before 6 am each weekday and before 8 am on the weekend to assure that people can get to work and the school buses can get through. Most of that time Ron Rogers was the contractor and he did an excellent job for a very reasonable price. Sadly, we lost Ron two years ago around this time of year.
We employed two different vendors the past two years and the results were dismal. I have been told repeatedly that the vendors were coming after the Township in most cases and we have had many complaints about damage to lawns. At the same time, the cost has doubled over what we were paying Ron Rodgers.
Another development is that the days of rear-wheel-drive vehicles is over. Front wheel drive is much better in the snow and most of us have vehicles with 4 wheel or all-wheel drive.
Bottom line, the Board determined that your $5000 was not being well spent on snowplowing and you will see in the proposed budget that we are recommending that we do not pay for private snowplowing this year.
Now I would like to talk about social events in Franklin Woods. Last year, we had a wonderful wine and cheese party at Susan and Andy Saxe home. I would love to see more of those kinds of events.
David Herskovic arranged again for food trucks to come once a month during the warm weather. This Thursday will be the last one for this year. It will be the Real Taco Express. I hope to see everyone there. For the coming year, the Board recommended adding $500 to the budget for something to supplement the food truck perhaps games or some form of refreshments that wouldn’t cut into the food truck’s profitability. David wants to know if people want the trucks more often next year and we will discuss that in a little bit.
In the past, we have had some great Halloween events. In recent years, we haven’t had volunteers to make it happen. We once again have many kids in the neighborhood and it would be great to revive Halloween. I hope someone will step forward to work on that. It could be at someone’s home outside, at the paper road or it could be visiting multiple homes. Or, we can have other social events.
On September 30 at 7 pm there will be a special Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. Robertson Builders wants to squeeze 38 condos into the property just north of Temple Beth El. About 10 variances are needed due to the wetlands and density of trees there.
We live in a great Township. But one thing we lack is public parks. We do have Bowers Farm and the Johnson Nature Center which are both actually run by the school district. There are very few natural, undeveloped areas in the Township that could be used for a regular park like they have in communities like West Bloomfield, Franklin and Birmingham.
Every community should have some greenspace. I was sad when the natural area across Franklin Road was destroyed to put up a bunch of homes. We are running out of places with just trees. We are running out of places where we could have a public park. I personally encourage you to go to the meeting at Township Hall on Sept 30 or send in comments to the Zoning Board about this proposal.
Many of you know that I am deeply involved in politics. Sadly, we are a deeply divided country when it comes to politics. There is a great deal of passion on both sides. It is not just an issue here in our country but seems to be pervasive around the world. I have a hard time understanding how we can see the world so differently. I truly hope that we can start to mend the relationships that have been decimated.
I will be coming off of the Board this year. I would like to leave the new Board with a few recommendations:
Pursue implementation of the new restrictions
Get tougher on requiring dues to be paid on time
Hold the annual meeting in May
Save up for road repairs and legal fees
Let’s have some social events
Thank you.

Dear Residents of Franklin Woods,
Attached are the meeting minutes and budget approved at last night's meeting of the Franklin Woods Association.
It was agreed to make the dues for the 2025-2026 fiscal year $200. This does not impact dues for the current fiscal year. Our year runs from July 1 until June 30.
We will award the snowplowing contract to Greg Leone. For those interested in getting a quote from him, here is his contact information:
Gregory Leone
248-421-8287
leoneoutdoorservices@yahoo.com
Greg indicated that a straight driveway would be between $500 and $600 and $800-$900 for semi-circular driveways with a straight drive as well. Both include shoveling walkway.
Your Board for the coming year will be:
President Allen Wolf
Vice President Joe Kenty
Secretary Aaron Blatt
Treasurer Bruce Luria
Trustees Holly Drimby
Meta Francis
Mike Hoffman
Adam Sachs
Mark Picklo
Our thanks go out to Jeff Gunsberg and Susan Saxe who were term-limited for their active participation on the Board the past few years. Thank you to all the continuing Board members and our new Board Members.
As President, I have the privilege of appointing committee chairs.
I am announcing Paul Schultz as the chair for Landscape Committee. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to Otto Hugi who has chaired that effort for a generation.
I am appointing Adam Sachs to chair our Property Modification Committee.
Susan Saxe continues as chair of our Social Committee. (We will be continuing to have food trucks in 2025)
Mandy Garver will continue to handle welcome baskets (If you know of anyone who hasn't received a welcome basket, please let us know.)
If I have missed anything, please let me know.
Allen Wolf, President

Call to Order 7:08 PM
Attendance and Quorum Report – With 21 member units in good standing represented, we met the conditions for a quorum. (18 units required for quorum)
Approval of Minutes from 2023 Annual Meeting—Minutes were approved by voice vote.
President’s Report – Allen Wolf
Allen reported on the notable increase in social activities. He thanks Susan and Andy Saxe for hosting a party this year and thanked David Hershkovic for organized monthly visits by food trucks. It was decided to pursue having monthly food trucks in 2025 from May through October.
The cost for snowplowing is spiralling. In 2022-2023, the cost was less than $2,000 to plow our roads. This past year it was $3,500. For 2024-5 it will be $5,000.
Although the Board would like to do upgrades to the the cul-de-sacs, there is no money in the budget to do so. The larger Priority garbage trucks have been doing damage to the islands.
We are constantly updating the neighborhood directory. Send any corrections to Allen Wolf
Reviving the revision of our subdivision Restrictions will be a priority for the coming year.
The proposed budget for 2024-2025 was approved including dues of $200. The membership considered two proposals—one to increase dues to $200 and one to increase dues to $250. While both passed, the proposal for $200 received more votes (16 in favor vs. 11 in favor for $250).
Concerns about potholes should be directed to the Public Works Dept of the Township.
A concern about the growth of weeds in the culvert area on the westside near Crestview was raised. Bruce will investigate and see if we can get our landscape company to handle.
Bill Lautner fell as he was entering the Church for the meeting. We promised to inform the Church of the hazard and indicated that we will not hold future meetings at this site.
Decision on Snowplowing Contractor- Bids ranged from $20,000 to $5,000. The contract will be awarded to Greg Leone at $5,000. He will charge indidivual property owners with a straight driveway between $500 and $600 and those with a straight and circular drive $800-$900.

The outgoing members of the Board are thanked for their service. Jeff Gunsberg and Susan Saxe have served the maximum years they can and therefore were ineligible to be Trustees for the coming year. We welcome new Board members Mike Hoffman, Adam Sachs and Mark Picklo.
Other Issues:
Problems with the lighting and sprinkler system on the common property at the entrance was discussed. Residents were advised to contact Bruce or Allen if they notice any issues.
Q&A with Township Officials – Dani Walsh
Township Supervisor reviewed a number of items going on in the Township and took questions.
Input from nearly 3,000 people has been received regarding the Township’s strategic plan. A predominent theme is a desire for more green space. The first draft will be presented to the Board this coming Monday.
A major issue has been reviewing contracts with the various unions representing Township employees. The Township has conducted a wage survey to determine next steps in adjusting pay and benefits.
The Township has increased its police force from 62 to 67 members—the highest level since 2008. We have added 2 social workers as many calls for police are better handled with the assistance of a social worker. A program begun as a partnership of three communities has been adopted on a County-wide basis.
An antisemitic post by a Township Trustee has become an issue for the Township and it is expected to generate much public comment at the next Township Board meeting on Monday, October 14. Supervisor Walsh expressed dismay at the inappropriate conduct of this Board member as well as vandalism at the Jewish Federation Building and other offensive actions in surrounding communities. The acts of vandalism are being actively investigated by Township police and the FBI.
Supervisor Walsh encouraged residents to register their video cams with the Township so that they can be potentially used if necessary to investigate illegal activity in the community. (Homeowner would be contacted if an incident occurs where they want the homeowner to review their recordings.) Bloomfield Township has the lowest crime rate anywhere in the State.
A Township open house will be held this Sunday from 11 am until 3 pm.
Supervisor Walsh committed to investigating improper soil erosion practices at one of the construction sites on Franklin Road.
The meeting concluded at 8:34 pm
