Michago Spring 2025 Shareholder Letter
Dear
Michagoans,
Membership
Dues
In this mailing you will
find your 2024-2025 Shareholder Dues Statement along with a proxy form for
those unable to attend the annual meeting. Please remember to include your
payment coupon with your payment. As a reminder the dues are $300 for improved
lots and $150 for unimproved lots. The seasonal garbage fee is $150 and for
those on the community well the fee is $175. This year we also have a special
assessment of an additional $300 for improved lots and $150 for unimproved lots
for Toboggan repairs as approved last year.
MBE
Association Beach and Common Area
The fire rings and life
ring with rope will be out prior to Memorial Day weekend. Please remember to
leave the fire rings where we placed them. This allows us to consolidate the
ash, etc. for when cleanup time comes in September and keeps most of the beach
clean.
A reminder that the
kayak/paddleboard racks are available below the stairs. MBE is not
responsible for items stored there. The items stored there are private property
and not for general use.
Please respect the
boundaries of the Association beach common area and any items stored in this
area.
MBE
Roads
The repairs to Toboggan
that were approved at the annual meeting last year will take place this fall. Initial
spring grading has been
completed. We plan to add slag on an as needed basis.
MBE
Tree cutting, Landscaping and Beautification
Landscaping and flower
planting around the entrance sign and bulletin board will be completed soon.
We have cleaned the trench
drains and drain basins. Ditching along North and South Surfside is ongoing.
Tree
cutting has been completed
on South Surfside drive. Additional tree cutting will be completed as budget
allows
on Michago Association
property. A water line has been installed at the front sign area for plant
watering
purposes. A solar light is
being installed to help illuminate the sign and mailbox area for safety
purposes.
MBE
Community Water System
The community water system was turned on around April
15th. The lower north well house had a new roof installed and has
been tapped for emergency use, with a Fire Department type connection which
works like a low-grade fire hydrant, as per Grant Twp’s request. A similar tap
was installed on the upper south well, 2 years ago. These emergency taps cost
less than $1,000 to install. A fully qualified fire hydrant installation
would have cost more than $25,000.
MBE
Trash Service
The seasonal trash pickup
resumed on Monday April 21st.
MBE
Community Bulletin Board
Cottages for rent or sale
can be listed on Michago.blogspot.com or posted on the community bulletin
board.
The Electric Forest
Festival is scheduled for June 19-22, 2025.
The annual MBE Shareholder
meeting is scheduled for Saturday July 5th at 11 a.m. It will be held at the
MBE well house and maintenance building. If you have topics
you would like the board to consider please send them to
[email protected] or any board member prior to May 23rd.
Enjoy the spring!
