Subject: Houghton Lake - outlook on lake level post ﬂood rains and breeching walls?
Importance: High
Hello Commissioner Sensor:
My husband and I own a home on the north bay in Houghton Lake and we’ve been hard at work
against the lake that is breeching the sea wall – pumps, sandbags, and water dams. As much as
we can to protect our property.
Is there any oﬃcial communication source we can follow to understand outlook for the lake
level. We are actively monitoring the USGS lake level monitor. And I have contacted emails in my
email below.
Unlike other lake and river communities, I am not seeing any oﬃcial sources, announcements,
plans, etc. as to how much the dam can drain per day, forecast for the week, and so forth. I am
just seeing one single emergency declaration on April 15, 2026. This is quite a bit disappointing
as a property owner.
With the level currently at 10.17 ft (12:15 pm) and the summer level of 8.1 feet, can you
please provide what eﬀorts are underway or projected level drop over the next few days
without rain?
Would it be possible for the Emergency Management social media pages to post daily updates
regarding water level and forecast until ﬂood risks are reduced?
Thank you!

Hello –

against the lake that is breeching the sea wall – pumps, sandbags, and water dams.
Is there any oﬃcial communication source we can follow to understand outlook for the lake
level. We are actively monitoring the USGS lake level monitor. It seems these three emails may
be best suited, but unsure of who to even correctly contact.
Unlike other lake and river communities, I am not seeing any oﬃcial sources, announcements,

Subject: You’re Invited: Meeting with Sen. Slotkin on AI and Cybersecurity Threats

Meeting with Senator Slotkin on AI and Cybersecurity Threats
Meeting with Senator Slotkin on AI and Cybersecurity Threats
Dear Michigan Leaders,
In recent weeks, AI companies have released new models that appear to pose a signiﬁcant threat
to cybersecurity. These models mark a major jump in how AI can be used to ﬁnd and exploit
cybersecurity vulnerabilities. If this capability is used by adversaries, it will boost the abilities and
speed with which they can attack systems.
The new AI models have not been released to the public, but have been made available to cyber
defenders and other private sector entities to patch their vulnerabilities before bad actors can
make use of the tools. However, it does not appear that state or local critical infrastructure, or the
smaller independent, local and rural companies and institutions (K-12 schools, hospitals) that will
need to prepare for the threat to their unique systems, have been given access to the models.
As we know, our schools, hospitals, farmers and many others are already vulnerable to cyber
attacks and AI could turbocharge this threat. Please join me on Monday, April 27 at 11 am for a
webinar on what this development will mean for you and the institutions you help lead, what
you can do to protect your critical systems from this new vulnerability, and how to build a
response plan if a cyberattack happens.
This conversation will include expert brieﬁngs on the state of the threat and why our institutions
need to take this moment seriously, as well as resources available at the state and federal level to
help Michigan stakeholders.

Subject: Response to Ostergrens targeting

I must respond to Ostergrens targeting of me at the recent commission meeting - he has a
personal agenda against me and very much misconstrued my email to the Board. First repairing the scouring at the bottom of the dam is one thing - ﬁlling the freeﬂow within a couple
of inches of legal level is another. I am asking for restoration of the freeﬂow while actually
repairing the scouring which was a few inches. The splash guards should be temporary for
utilization when the lake level is low during the summer and they could help prevent additional
water loss during rough waters.
Ostergren failed to mention that if the winter level had been maintained until ice out, the rain
event would have raised Higgins a couple of inches above summer level - not 8 inches. Which
would have allowed for steady slow drainage of the increasing higgins level over time before ice
out, instead of sending an enormous amount of water down to Houghton Lake and beyond
when the rains came.
The dam was completely mismanaged, it is very apparent the winter level has a purpose and
needs to be maintained until ice out. The lake ALWAYS rises above summer level after ice out,
there would have been no worries about the lake rising to summer level in the spring. Your
board chair Sensor admitted to me that the level was allowed to rise during ice on because of
worries that the summer level would not be achieved. Simple lake level history shows Higgins
Lake always rises above summer level in the spring after ice out.
This ﬂood event is entirely related to the mismanagement of the dam, keeping the gates closed
all winter, letting the lake rise a few inches above summer level before ice out. I hope this board
has learned a very hard lesson, one for which we lakefronters and the community will pay
dearly for some time to come. Higgins Lake is the head of the Muskegon River Watershed and
aﬀects the entire watershed, not just Higgins Lake.
Please - Ken Melvin has volunteered to lend his wisdom for dam operations - please take him
up on this and let him contribute his many many years of dam stewardship experience. Had he
still been involved, and had the legal levels been maintained until ice out, we would not be
facing this current situation.-Regards, Valerie Smith

Subject: lake level history going forward

E. O. said I am a minority of lakefronters that wish for a lower lake level - I do, because a lower
lake level is healthier for our lake and stops most of the erosion.Many others are very
concerned about the damage to the health of our beautiful lake with the high water levels and
crazy erosion. We just want what is best for the health of the lake and its shorelines, which in
my opinion supersedes the wishes of boaters for higher levels. But I am alright with the levels
set by the county, and agree with doing whatever is possible to come as close to those TARGETS
as possible. Many years it isn't possible to maintain those winter and summer levels. I am
ecstatic that the State of Michigan has ruled that these legal lake levels are a target, not an
absolute and I am sure E. O. is furiously suing to remove that law. He is the king of frivolous
lawsuits, suing this county many times over for not maintaining an absolute - which is, and
always has been impossible. I am sure he is furious that his ability to sue for illegal levels is
gone. Though he has never sued for the illegal high levels, has he?
That Michigan State ruling has hopefully put an end to lawsuits over inches of water on
Higgins..
Despite what E.O. tells you about me, I have been as angry about the frivolous lawsuits as I am
sure all of you are. I am not criticizing eﬀorts to maintain the legal levels - I just ask that you DO
try to maintain those to the best of your ability, including the critical winter level.
Please look at the rock ﬁll in the freeﬂow channel - I am quite sure it is well over the supposed 8
inch or so scouring repair. That is all I am asking. For the freeﬂow to be restored to what it
should be, with that few inches of scouring in the bottom repaired.
-Regards, Valerie Smith

Subject: Hi Water Level

I have read and think I understand the Facebook post Darlene Sensor put out regarding water
levels at Houghton Lake, however it left me with a few questions. If Lake St. Helen and Higgins
Lake have their water control open as far as possible to bring them back down to summer pool
levels and releasing the water into Houghton Lake, does this mean Houghton Lake will not start
to go down until the other two lakes reach their Summer Pool levels? If so, as we are in a State
of Emergency, is it possible to get a court order to allow their two controls to limit some water
so all three lakes can go down at the same pace?
This would seem only fair. The rumors I have heard, it will take up to 4 months to get Houghton
Lake down to a reasonable level if no more water is added. They say one inch per week. If you
factor in high winds, I do not think much of the Houghton Lake area will be able survive this
summer under the current plan.
I feel something more must be tried. Maybe it is already under motion and I am just not aware.
Thank You for Your Time

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK MAY 16 – MAY 22, 2026

For over 100 million Americans, boating continues to be a popular recreational
activity. From coast to coast, and everywhere in between, people are taking to the
water and enjoying time together boating, sailing, paddling and fishing. During
National Safe Boating Week, the U.S. Coast Guard and its federal, state, and local
safe boating partners encourage all boaters to explore and enjoy America’s beautiful
waters responsibly.
Safe boating begins with preparation. The Coast Guard estimates that human error
accounts for most boating accidents and that life jackets could prevent nearly 83
percent of boating fatalities. Through basic boating safety procedures – carrying
lifesaving emergency distress and communications equipment, wearing life jackets,
attending safe boating courses, participating in free boat safety checks, and staying
sober when navigating – we can help ensure boaters on America’s coastal, inland,
and offshore waters stay safe throughout the season.
National Safe Boating Week is observed to bring attention to important life-saving tips
for recreational boaters so that they can have a safer, more fun experience out on
the water throughout the year.
Whereas, on average, 650 people die each year in boating-related accidents in the
U.S.; 75 percent of these are fatalities caused by drowning; and
Whereas, the vast majority of these accidents are caused by human error or poor judgment
and not by the boat, equipment or environmental factors; and
Whereas, a significant number of boaters who lose their lives by drowning each
year would be alive today had they worn their life jackets.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED The Roscommon County Board of Commissioners do
hereby support the goals of the Safe Boating Campaign and proclaim May 16-22 2026
as National Safe Boating Week and the start of the year-round effort to promote safe
boating and urge all those who boat to practice safe boating habits and wear a life jacket
at all times while boating.

SUBJECT:

Creekside Meadows Brownfield Plan Study Session – Public Hearing: May 27, 2026

Redstone Group, a major housing development firm based in Grand Rapids, has been working with the Village of
Roscommon to develop a 149 unit housing development on Village property east of Business I-75/M-18 between
Southline Road and Yale Road, with 30 of the units targeted at income qualified households and rents at 120% of
the Area Median Income (AMI) or less.
However, the development, infrastructure, construction and operating costs are greater than the rent revenues
generated by these income restricted residences. Recent changes to the State’s Brownfield law, Act 381, PA 1996
as amended, provides for the capture of increased incremental taxes generated by additional private investment for
the reimbursement to close financing gap between costs and revenues. In addition, costs for abatement and
demolition, as well as site preparation and infrastructure that were previously limited to Core Communities, are now
available in every community.
The development proposal includes significant up-front private investment for infrastructure and site preparation,
all at the risk of the developer. Construction and development must proceed at a pace that generates the Brownfield
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues that can be captured and reimbursed for these extraordinary costs. There
is no obligation to reimburse any costs with any other revenues besides those TIF revenues generated by private
investment. Financial information provided by the development team has demonstrated the need for Brownfield
TIF revenue reimbursement over an estimated 22 years to be able to finance and construct the project.
Importantly, State taxes will contribute an estimated 26.6% of the captured taxes. Roscommon Area Public Schools
are held harmless through the State Foundation Grants and the Crawford-Otsego-Ogemaw-Roscommon
Intermediate School District is reimbursed by the State. The RAPS and Kirkland College debt millages are not subject
to capture.
An introduction to the Brownfield Plan will be presented at the County Board’s study session on May 13, 2026.
A Brownfield Plan must be approved by the Roscommon County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority RCBRA and
Roscommon County Board of Commissioners, with the concurrence of the local governmental unit in which the
project is located, in this case, Higgins Township and Roscommon Village. The Brownfield Plan has been prepared
in compliance with the requirements of Act 381 and was approved by the RCBRA at their April 23, 2026 meeting.
A public hearing must be held by the County Board of Commissioners to consider public input on the Brownfield
Plan. A public hearing for the Creekside Meadows Brownfield Plan is requested for the May 27, 2026 County Board
meeting. The Brownfield Plan will be presented for County Board consideration at that meeting.
REQUEST
Hold a public hearing for the Creekside Meadows Brownfield Plan for the May 27, 2026 Roscommon County Board
of Commissioners meeting.

INTRODUCTION
1.1

Proposed Redevelopment and Future Use for Each Eligible Property
The proposed redevelopment consists of three vacant parcels totaling
approximately 39 acres in the Village of Roscommon, Roscommon County. The
project will involve preparing the site for development to make way for 149 new
residential units, that will be constructed over an approximately 6-year build period.
The units are expected to include a mix of approximately 32 single family homes
available for sale, 27 townhome condominiums available for sale, 30 duplexes
available for sale, 36 garden apartments available for rent, and 24 townhome
apartments available for rent. The rental units are expected to be constructed first,
followed by the for-sale development in later phases. The development is expected
to include 17 income-restricted apartment units at or below 80% of Area Median
Income (“AMI”) rents net of utilities, for a duration of 10 years. The project expects
to include an additional 13 income-restricted units at 120% AMI income or below,
for a total of 20% of the development income-restricted at or below 120% AMI.
The total capital investment on the project is expected to be approximately $46.3
million. Construction on the project is planned to begin in the fall of 2026 and will
be completed by fall of 2031.

1.2

Identification of Housing Need
Specific Housing Need
A Housing Needs Assessment was conducted by Community Research Services, LLC
dated March 28, 2024 for Roscommon County. The top three housing options in
order from this report indicated homeownership options, workforce rental housing,
and market rate rental housing. This project would accomplish all three housing
options in one project. The total net demand for rental housing indicated in this study
for the County includes an estimate 88 units needed for affordable housing up to
60% AMI, 98 units needed for workforce housing up to 100% AMI, and 146 market
rate units. Additionally, this report indicates this area has smaller than average
household sizes with an aging population, creating the potential for more nontraditional housing types in the market such as apartments, townhomes, and attached
duplexes.
According to the Village of Roscommon Master Plan, 28% of the existing housing
stock in the Village was constructed prior to 1950, and no homes have been
constructed since 2010. The most recent housing stock built in the village, which
makes up of 3.0% of the existing housing stock, was constructed between 2000 and
2009. The aging housing stock creates significant risk in the stability of the local
housing market. At the time the Master Plan was conducted, there was only one
available home listed on the market for sale, that required substantial rehabilitation

Page 30 of 61

prior to occupancy, indicating a very tight supply of available housing for existing and
prospective residents. Additionally, the Master Plan indicated the vast majority of
employees in the Village reside outside of the Village boundaries. Of the 768 workers
who are employed in the Village, only 42 are employed and live in the Village, while
726 workers live outside of the Village but work in the Village. The creation of
additional housing stock will create the opportunity to retain a large number of
individuals that may prefer to reside closer to their place of work. As a result of the
aging housing stock, lack of available housing stock for sale, and commuting patterns
in the area, the absorption of new homes in this market is expected to be accelerated.
Job Growth Data
According to the Housing Needs Assessment for Roscommon County, the county
has a significant influx in net migration from surrounding counties and the State of
Michigan. According to the Village of Roscommon Master Plan, the Village
experienced 4.5% population growth between 2010 to 2022, which outpaced the
growth rate of all surrounding municipalities. The creation of additional housing
stock in the area is expected to support the ability for employers to grow and expand
in the area, as housing availability continues to be a significant barrier to economic
development in the region.
1.3

Eligible Property Information
Basis of Eligibility
Section 2(y)(i) of Public Act 381 of 1996 (”Act 381”), as amended, defines “Housing
Property” as “A property on which 1 or more units of residential housing are
proposed to be constructed, rehabilitated, or otherwise designated to be used as a
dwelling.” The development proposes 149 housing units on Parcels #055-107-0130024, #055-107-015-0084, and #005-107-013-0021, thus these parcels are eligible
property under Act 381.

Information Required by Section 13(2) of the Statute
2.1

Description of Costs to Be Paid for With Tax Increment Revenues
Tax increment revenues will be used to reimburse Redstone Homes Northern MI, LLC
for the cost of eligible activities as authorized by Act 381. Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (“MSHDA”) approved non-environmental eligible activities
and statutorily approved EGLE environmental eligible activities will be reimbursed with
local and school tax increment revenues (“TIR”). Remaining eligible activities will be
reimbursed with local TIR only.
The total cost of eligible activities including contingency are anticipated to be
$12,234,091. Interest on unreimbursed eligible activities is also included as an eligible
activity, which is estimated to be $3,592,919. Funding to the State Brownfield
Redevelopment Fund is anticipated to be $1,230,871. Roscommon County Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority will capture 5% of local tax increment revenue annually for
administrative and operating expenses for the duration of the Plan, which is estimated
at $652,544. Roscommon County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority will also
capture $50,000 in Brownfield Plan implementation costs from state and local tax
increment revenue in equal annual payments over the first 10 years of capture. The
estimated cost of all eligible activities under this plan are summarized in Table 1.
Environmental Activities
Pre-approved activities considered under this plan include Environmental Site
Assessments (“ESAs”). This is a cost statutorily approved for reimbursement with
school taxes.
Non-Environmental Activities
Because the basis of property eligibility is “Housing Property” under Public Act 381,
additional non-environmental costs can be reimbursed through a brownfield plan.
This plan provides for reimbursement of eligible “housing development activities”
including reimbursement provided to the developer to fill a financing gap associated
with the development of housing units priced for income qualified households, and

Page 32 of 61

demolition, site preparation, and infrastructure activities that are necessary for new
housing development for income qualified households on eligible property.
2.2

Summary of Eligible Activities

Environmental Site Assessments will be required for the project and is
anticipated to cost $25,000. This is a cost statutorily approved for
reimbursement with school taxes.
2.2..2 Demolition
Site demolition costs are included as an eligible activity. Site
demolition is anticipated to cost $3,037.
2.2..3 Infrastructure

infrastructure activities is anticipated to be $7,145,714.
2.2..4 Site Preparation
Site preparation activities will include clearing, grading, excavation,
dewatering, stripping and digging of foundations, and temporary
traffic and site control. The total cost of these site preparation activities
is anticipated to be $1,747,363.
2.2..5 Interest
Financing costs for the project are considered an eligible activity. This
plan allows for 5% simple interest rate on the developer’s
unreimbursed hard cost eligible activities. The total interest associated
with eligible activities is anticipated to be $3,592,919.
2.2..6 Contingency
A 15% contingency on demolition, infrastructure and site preparation
is included as an eligible activity, estimated at $1,334,417. The
contingency is not calculated on the affordable housing gap
calculation.
2.2..7 Financing Gap
Housing development activities, related to reimbursement provided
to the developer to fill a financing gap associated with the
development of housing units priced for income qualified
households’, are included as eligible activities. The financing gap is

Page 33 of 61

calculated utilizing the Potential Rent Loss formula developed by
MSHDA. The MSHDA 2025 Control Rents by bedroom in Roscommon
County are listed in the table below. There are anticipated to be 17
income qualified units as a part of this development subject to
Potential Rent Loss. Project rent is based on 2025 80% AMI rents by
bedroom in Roscommon County, less utility allowances for Region B.
The total loss delineated below is representative of the 10-year period.

3. Transfer Approval of Agreement and Use of Tax Increment Revenues. Only upon
affirmative vote by the RCBRA and the Roscommon County Board of Commissioners
approving the Brownfield Plan, with the concurrence of the Roscommon Village Council
and the Higgins Township Board of Trustees, and the DDA approving this Agreement, the
DDA agrees to forgo a portion of its tax increment revenue as more fully set forth in No. 2
of this Agreement for capture by the RCBRA. These tax increment revenues shall be
captured by the RCBRA for use to reimburse approved Eligible Activities, RCBRA
Administration and operation costs, transfers to the State Brownfield Fund as required by
Act 381, and deposits into the Local Brownfield Revolving Fund (LBRF) in the approved
Brownfield Plan, authorized by Act 381, and approved by the RCBRA and the Roscommon
County Board of Commissioners approving the Brownfield Plan, with the concurrence of
the Roscommon Village Council and the Higgins Township Board of Trustees.
4. DDA Obligation Subordinate to Existing Bonds. This DDA’s obligation to transfer tax
captured revenues set for in No. 2 above, to the RCBRA pursuant to this Agreement is
subordinate to, and contingent upon the ability of the DDA to capture sufficient tax
increment revenues from the captured assessed value of the property in its TIF District,
other than the Eligible Property, to pay it annual debt service obligations on bonds and
other obligations issued by the DDA pursuant to Act 57 as of the effective date of this
Agreement. In the event that the DDA does not have sufficient funds from tax increment
revenues from the captured assessed values of the property in the DDA TIF District, other
than the Eligible Property, to pay its annual debt service on such bonds or other
obligations, then the DDA shall inform the RCBRA of capture for the Eligible Property in
that year. In such instances where the DDA uses tax increment revenues from the Eligible
Property to pay its annual debt service on such bonds or other obligations, it is
understood that once these obligations are met, RCBRA tax increment revenue capture
from the Eligible Property will continue until Eligible Activities are reimbursed.
5. Effective Date. The Agreement shall commence upon: (i) its approval by the legislative
bodies of the DDA and RCBRA and duly executed by their authorized representatives; (ii)
the Agreement being filed with the Roscommon County Clerk; and (iii) the Agreement
being filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan as required by Act 7.
6. Severability. To the extent that any provisions contained in this Agreement is deemed
unenforceable, to the extent possible, the remaining terms shall remain in effect.
7. Term. The DDA agrees to forgo to the RCBRA the increase in the assessed value from the
Base Year until one of the following events occurs:
a. The conclusion of Brownfield capture or dissolution of the Brownfield Plan, all tax
increment revenues generated by the Eligible Property shall be captured by the
DDA as stated in the DDA Plan; or
b. The DDA TIF District expires on its terms; or
c. Tax Increment Financing Plan is dissolved by the Roscommon Village Council;
8. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, and any additional or supplementary documents
incorporated herein by specific reference, contains all of the terms and conditions agreed
