BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES - April 21, 2014
The monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Highland Lakes Condominium Association was held on the third Monday of the month, in
accordance with the By-Laws of the Association. President Kathy Baldwin called the April 21, 2014, regular meeting of the Board of
Directors to order at 7:30 p.m.
Attendance: The following Directors were present: Kathy Baldwin, Michelle Todorov, Tom Byrne, Sandy Nolan, Judy Nakdimen, and
Kathleen Connor, (Guy Balok was excused). Also present were Joe Poma, Property Manager, Ken Wiewiora, Maintenance Superintendent,
and Shannon Crowley, Administrative Assistant. Approximately 21 co-owners were also present.
Meet the Candidates Night:
Prior to the regular meeting, the customary Meet the
Candidates night was held beginning at 7:20 p.m. Election
Committee Chairman, Robert Armstrong, introduced
the candidates. The candidates who were present were
given the opportunity to come forward to discuss their
objectives and goals and answer Co-Owner questions.
Three Director seats are up for election this year and three
candidates submitted a rsum: Kathleen Connor,
Judy Nakdimen, and Tom Byrne. The rsum of each
candidate will be published in the May issue of the
Herald, ballots will be mailed the week of April 28 and
must be returned to the Clubhouse by 5:00 p.m., May 16.
Finance Committee Report: See page 19
Robert Armstrong reported to the Board.
Board Action: Motion by Kathleen support by Judy
Nakdimen, to accept the Finance Committee report
dated March 19, 2014. All in favor. Motion passed.
Court Captain Committee Report: See page 21
Joel Lutz reported to the Board.
At the March Board Meeting, Joel provided the Board with
a handout summarizing the different AED options and
pricing. (PHILIPS HEARTSTART, and ZOLL AED
PLUS.) Since that meeting, Ken did research and found
two alternate quotes for the Zoll AED unit. The Zoll unit
takes standard-size batteries, while the Philips unit takes
more expensive custom batteries.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by
Sandy Nolan, to purchase the Zoll AED Plus from
HeartSmart.com for $1609. All in favor. Motion
passed.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by
Judy Nakdimen, to accept the Court Captain Committee
reports dated April 3, 2014. All in favor. Motion passed.
Discussion: Donna McNally asked Joe to explain a
statement recorded in the Court Captain minutes
about the venting of bathroom fans. Joe answered that
when Iighland Lakes was rst built, bathroom ans
were vented into the attic. When the new roofs are
put on, that is changing so that the fans on the second
noor are enting directly through the roo. Ioweer,
there is still a possibility that fumes or odors exiting out
of one home will enter into a neighboring unit, but it
will be much less than it was previously. Donna asked
about the ents on the rst noor. Ken said that they are
typically vented through the dryer vent out of the rear
wall, or een through the sot on a rst noor gutter.
Robert asked whether a 4x 2 beam was being used on
all of the new vents. Ken said that he would need to
verify, but he believed it is a 4x 2 beam with a reducer
on all vents.
Earl said that he was having a similar problem in his unit
where the smell of his neighbors cigarette odor was
coming into his unit. Earl said that he began using an
air purier to reduce the smell.
Joe said that hes had residents ask him about this very
thing many times over the years. There are a few entry
points in the condo for these smells to permeate. A
resident could install foam insulators on the wall outlets.
Also, weather stripping or a seal could be added to the
attic access hatch so that fumes from the attic dont
come into the closet. Some odors enter through the
top of the basement wall of the adjoining wall between
units. This can also be insulated.
Sandy mentioned that she`s recently heard o a re being
started by a bathroom vent fan that was left on for an
excessive length of time. She plans to include details in
her column in the May Herald.
Approval of Minutes:
Minutes of the March 17, 2014, regular meeting of the
Board of Directors, and minutes of the March 17, 2014,
executive session of the Board of Directors.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Judy
Nakdimen, to approe and le the Minutes o the March
17, 2014, regular meeting of the Board of Directors, and
minutes of the March 17, 2014, executive session of the
Board of Directors. All in favor. Motion passed.

New Business
Kathy reminded the audience that The Board of Directors
has invited members from Board of Trustees of
Northville Township to come and address our co-owners
during the June 16th Board Meeting. They have a mil
proposal coming up on the ballot in August, and wanted
to inform us about it. The millage will go toward Police
/ Fire Departments as well as Parks and Recreation. We
will publicize it more as we approach the June date so
we can have as many co-owners as possible here to hear
them and ask their questions.
Kathy also shared that in the executive session, the Board
discussed the deteriorating condition of Crystal Lake
Drive. The Board and Management will being reviewing
the problem and getting quotes for having it repaired.
CoOwner Forum
Co-Owner: A member of the audience asked about what
more could be done to repair Silver Spring Drive. He said
he called the number that was posted on the sandwich
board numerous times, and felt like he was given the run-
around. He asked if there was another phone number to
call to get a quicker result. Joe answered that, although it
may seem that the call was ineffective, the number posted
is actually the one that gets the most attention from
the county, and provoked the Assistant Wayne County
Executive to contact the Northville Township Manager
regarding Silver Spring.
The co-owner added that, legally, if his car is damaged
due to the damaged road, Wayne County would be held
responsible for his car repair within 30 days. Tom said
that hes heard a report that Wayne County is paying
0% of the claims they are getting for vehicle damage.
Tom added that Guy Balok (not present) is working
very diligently with the Township to make Silver Spring
a priority. The Township is being very aggressive with
Wayne County and with Lansing to get the road repaired
with some of the federal funds that the state is receiving.
If all else fails, we have the option of creating a special
assessment district to expedite the repair of road. Part of

Lakes Ecology Committee Report: See page 20
Robert Armstrong reported to the Board.
Board Action: Motion by Judy Nakdimen, support by Guy
Balok, to accept the Lakes Ecology Committee report
dated March 4, 2014. All in favor. Motion passed.
Grounds Committee Report: Verbal
Joel Lutz reported to the Board. Joel said that the
April 14 Grounds Committee meeting was canceled due
to an emergency. This meeting has been rescheduled for
Monday, April 28 at 7:00 p.m.
Joel added that he has only received one response from
the Save Our Woods Flyer that he ran in the April
Herald regarding the May 17 garlic mustard pull. He
was concerned that there wont be enough volunteers
to get the job done. Kathy said that she had intended
to participate, although she hadnt contacted him. She
added that people may be waiting until the last minute
to respond. Betty Parzych questioned whether weeding
the woods in necessary. Joel said that garlic mustard is an
invasive species and is harmful to the woods. He added
that there are many other communities in the area are
having do the same thing, so the need to address it is not
unreasonable.
Maintenance Report: See report on page 18
In addition to his written report, Ken said that Wide Open
West will begin the restoration of the ground that was
damaged during the line installation last fall. It will be
addressed within the month.
Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by
Sandy Nolan, to accept Maintenance Superintendents
Report dated April 21, 2014. All in favor. Motion

Board Action: Motion by Judy Nakdimen, support by
Sandy Nolan, to accept Property Managers Report dated

the reason why Wayne County has not corrected the road
is because Siler Spring is 4126 on their list o roads to
repair, and they only x the rst 40 on the list each year.
Kathy said that Northville Township made their Resolution
in November 2013 regarding Silver Spring Drive. Also,
Robert Nix, Northville Township Supervisor, said that he
may have an update for us regarding the progress when
he speaks at the Board Meeting in June. Were hoping for
some good news.
Marti Tupper: Marti asked what kind of furniture is
permitted in the front of the unit. Joe said that if he
were to enforce the By-laws as written to the letter,
no furniture would be permitted, as well as no lawn
ornaments, nower bushes, holiday displays or decorations
or many other items that residents use to personalize
their space. Nothing would be permitted right up to the
brick wall of the building. Joe said that he strives to be
as fair as possible regarding the enforcement of the By-
laws. He tries to consider whether the items are gaudy,
out of place, or hinder the neighbors enjoyment of their
home. Joe told Marti that i she has a specic concern,
she should let Joe know and he would take a look at it.
Joe also said that residents need to be aware that these items,
(lawn ornaments, landscaping lights, furniture, etc.), hinder the
lawn crew rom being able to eciently mow the lawns.
He stated that it is not maintenances responsibility to
move a residents personal affects before mowing their
lawn, although sometimes they have. Joe added that
if these personal items are damaged by maintenance,
Highland Lakes will not be held responsible.
Joe said that, as a manager, its ery dicult to tell someone
who has added a personal planting that enhances the
court and really personalizes the space that it must be
remoed. I someone does hae a specic concern about
a residents front area, Joe would be happy to look into it.
Marti also asked if there are any foreclosures on the
property. Joe said that there may be one or two currently
on the property, and there are a handful that are potential
units that the bank has not moved forward to foreclose
yet. Joe said this is a great improvement from 2008 when
there were 25-30 foreclosures. Currently, property values
are going up, and the homes that are selling are actually
getting into bidding wars, which is very encouraging.
Janine Rosenburgh: Janine asked what was being done
about the stump that is on the easement on Silver Spring
Drive. Joe answered that hes in contact with Davey Tree,
and their crew would be on site this week to take care
of some of the worst stumps on the property (including
the one in question). They will also be addressing some
of the leftover clean up that needs to be done from the
storm we had last September. Ken added that some of
the storm damage wont be noticeable until the tree has
come into bloom, then the dead branches will be obvious.
This will be an ongoing clean up for a little while.
Marti Peters: Marti asked if anything was going to be
done regarding damage to curbs and sidewalks in Itham
Court. She said that there was ller put in in the past, but
it needs to be repaired. Joe said that nothing has been
budgeted at the moment for curb replacement this year.
Joe said that he knows that the sidewalks will need to
be addressed. The Association is aware of the problem
and is doing its best to patch and maintain it until the full
repair can be done. Marti expressed her concern that the
crumbling concrete would turn to gravel and become a
trip hazard or cause damage to the mowers.
Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Judy
Nakdimen, to adjourn. All in favor. Motion passed.
The Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.

CANDIDATE: Tom Byrne
RESIDENCE: Inlet Court
30 - year resident
I have had the privilege of being the Treasurer of the Board of Directors of
Highland Lakes for the past 5 years. I have enjoyed the opportunity to volunteer
to assist in the oversight of the business of Highland Lakes Condominium
Association
Highland Lakes has annual revenue in excess of $3.4 million, the long term
capital plan is to spend in excess of $3 million over the next 3 years. I have
been able to bring my experience to bear in the decisions guiding us through
the first 3 years of our roofing project. I would like you to consider me again
for another term so that I could see that project to completion.
My focus as your Treasurer thus far has been strategic in nature. That is to
work with the Board and Management to make sure we can secure the long
term needs of the Association (roofing) without resorting special assessments
or outrageous increases in our assessment. That may not be everyones idea
of success, but considering our situation, I will consider this a great success
if can accomplish it. We have had to increase assessments every year by 1%
since I have come onto the Board. I think this modest yearly increase to be
reasonable when I check with what other Associations have resorted to in
order to complete the same task.
My style is not one that scrutinizes every dime spent, I trust that we have
hired reasonable managers and it is their responsibility to be efficient in
the use of our resources. When circumstances are brought to my attention
indicating that there is a financial issue requiring scrutiny, I general apply me
40+ years of financial management experience, weighing the cost benefits of
the situation to reach a decision. My career includes experience primarily in
finance culminating in a position of CFO of a $300 million company.
These real life experiences I hope would be of value to Highland Lakes.
While I have found the financial position of Highland Lakes in fine shape
operationally, there have been challenges. Toward that end, I would like you
to consider giving me the opportunity to continue to share my experience to
make Highland Lakes even better than it currently is.
Toward that end, I again seek your vote to continue the work of Highland
Lakes. To give me again an opportunity to work with the team here at
Highland Lakes, to spend your money wisely and protect your property values.

MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Co-Owners
FROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager
RE: Property Managers Report
DATE: April 21, 2014
1. If you have a car parked at the clubhouse along the back fence, please check on it periodically to make sure
lhal lhe lires are inaled and lhal ils in acceplalIe condilion. AII vehicIes nusl have vaIid and currenl
registration stickers and plates. The Association has given the Northville Township Police permission
to ticket and commence the towing process for any abandoned or improperly plated vehicle on private
Association property. All vehicles must also be pulled forward into each parking space; not backed in.
This is a requirement under our co-owners manual. Now that winter is over, this is the perfect time to
check on your car, start it up, charge the battery and move it around so that it is resting on a different
part of the tire.
2. Now that the Christmas lights are no longer frozen to the house, dont forget to remove them. Also
remember to place all of the shovels, sleds and other winter items in your patio or basement. Yard waste
pick up will begin soon, so if you have planters around the front porch, you may want to cut the old
pIanls off al soiI IeveI and do a cursory cIeaning of lhe over leds lo gel renaining Ieaves and delris, so
that you are ready for the planting season.

and schedule them to be painted during the summer if they are faded, but some need a reminder. The
Association handles the painting of the shutters as part of your assessments, but we like to have the
residents schedule them so that our painter is not crawling around on your roof without you knowing
about it. If I am unable to reach a resident that has faded shutters, or those that do not meet our standards,
I will go ahead and schedule them to be painted the same color. Please note that our Engineering
guidelines permit only certain colors for front doors and shutters, and I have the applicable color palate
in ny ofhce. NorlhviIIe Iainl SuppIy on 7 MiIe Road suppIies lhe painl for our fronl doors and shullers,
and they know what colors to provide simply by saying Highland Lakes green or Highland Lakes
burgundy, etc. Co-owners may paint their own front doors so long as they use the proper color, and
some prefer to do this, because the door has to remain open while the paint dries.
4. Dont forget to inspect your front and back yard and remove any dog waste or other litter that was
hidden by the snow.
5. Residents will occasionally call and say that they were wrongfully accused of failing to pick up after their
dog. Neighbors will claim to see the dog going, and then see the resident walk away after. One resident
called and wanted me to send out the following message: what looks like a male dog pooping, may
actually be a female dog peeing. Make sure youve got it right. :)
6. Waste Management is now collecting yard waste. Yard waste must be placed in paper bags alongside
the trash corral, not plastic garbage bags. They will not pick up plastic bags full of yard waste.
7. Al lhe Lxeculive / CIosed Session of lhe March oard neeling, lhe oard of Direclors hosled a snaII
paneI of NorlhviIIe Tovnship ofhciaIs lhal are proposing an addilionaI niIIage / lax increase of 1.55O
mils for the next seven years. This was a short introductory meeting and they will be speaking at the
general Board meeting in June. The total millage proposal calls for an additional 1.250 mils for public
safety and an additional 0.300 mils for parks and recreation. What this would mean is that if you had a
home valued at $100,000, then your taxes would go up $155.00 per year. In attendance at the meeting

MANAGEMENT REPORT
Treasurer and one of the trustees. The purpose of the millage is to maintain the current level of police
and hre services and lhe prograns offered lhrough parks and recrealion. There vas nuch discussion
about the need for the tax increase and each person on the panel was asked questions regarding it. As
a resident of Northville Township, you have some questions of your own to ask, and the decision is
obviously yours. It was 2008 when the bottom fell out of the housing market and the record at Highland
Lakes for that year shows a huge increase in the number of foreclosures, a nosedive of the bond market
and an admission that we were in a recession. Like many people, I personally think it happened long
before that, but the fact of the matter is that home values plummeted and local governments, however
slowly, lowered the taxable value of each parcel. It was stated long ago that the real estate market would
take a long time to fully recover, and although values are creeping back up, revenues at the township
level are way off. Imagine your income being cut in half, and trying to maintain your lifestyle at current
levels. Metro communities are dealing with unprecedented losses in revenue; some are able to deal with
lhese Iosses and olhers are nol. Iroponenls of lhe niIIage nay very veII leII you lhe foIIoving: SinpIy
stated, communities where the resident base is unable to, or refuses to absorb a tax increase, are cutting
services instead. It marks the beginning of a revolving door or downward spiralproperty values go
down, revenue goes down, crime goes up, the police force is reduced, crime goes up further, property
values go down further, revenue goes down further and the quality of life in the community spirals out
of control. People move out, businesses move out, they let the homes go into foreclosure, the vacancy
compounds the revenue loss and ultimately the infrastructure collapses. Maybe they wouldnt go that
far; thats an apocalyptic picture. It has happened before; granted the odds of it happening here are
unIikeIy. If lhere is a hnanciaI silualion and a Iovering of properly vaIues, lhey vouId argue lhal lhe
level of police should be maintained or painfully increased. All other services should be maintained
unliI lhe slorn is over. Il can le denanded lhal lhe hnanciaI leIl le lighlened and lhal lhe lovnship
squeeze the value out of every last penny that they get and it goes hand in hand with a strong code
enforcenenl ofhce and no conpIacency for a Iover slandard of care or quaIily of environnenl. Thal,
I suppose, is one way of looking at it. Opponents conversely will look to prior expenditures, question
whether money has been mismanaged or if they are handing out bonuses, pay raises or other perks
to township employees rather than directing the money where it is needed. They will also look at the
niIIage and lake il aparl, anaIyzing lhe separale funding calegories. Il incIudes poIice, hre and parks.
Sone nay supporl nainlaining lhe IeveI of hre hghlers, lul nol poIice or vice versa. They nay supporl
nainlaining poIice and hre, and do nol reaIIy care aloul parks and recrealion. Sone of lhe youlh as veII
as the senior programs are funded through this section, so you really have to ask what is important to
you as well as the community at large. There are always questionable expenditures. As a resident, you
have to ask if it was a good idea to purchase a certain building, parcel or allocate funds in a certain area.
I suspect that many municipalities have their own Wayne county jail project or variation thereof. At
lhal poinl, if you hnd lhal il has nol leen aIIocaled properIy, an opponenl nay cIain lhal lhe niIIage
is treating a symptom and not the problem. Yet a proponent may argue that the situation is before us,
and to vote the millage down is to punish the community further, stating that it does not excuse the fact
that there is a need to maintain services in the present. Other problems can be corrected after the fact.

vote. The trustees will be attending the public session of the June Board meeting on Monday, June 16th
to answer any questions you may have.
8. There is a company out there that keeps trying to sell our residents underground pipe insurance. Dont
buy it. I have said it before, but since you live in a condominium association, we would take care of any
underground pipe breaks between your unit and the main sewer lines on our property. This type of
insurance might be applicable to a home in a subdivision, where you would be responsible for repairing
a sewer pipe from your house to the main sewer. The difference is that in the case of a subdivision home,
it is your property; here, it is common element and we take care of it. This company might even know
this, because they keep going after our residents, but when I call to tell them to stop mailing the property,
lhey need specihc addresses, so I an going lo have lo send lhen a Iisl.

discovered that the stickers were not adhering. If you are planning to leave for vacation, make sure that
your regislralion is currenl and lhal ve have currenl conlacl infornalion in our hIe.
10. The loose trash at the bottom of each trash corral was compacted over the winter and covered in ice
and snow, so you could not see the full extent of it until everything melted. We contacted our trash
hauler and they are making their way around the property and hand shoveling and sweeping out each
encIosure. HopefuIIy, ly lhe line you read lhis, lhe vork viII le done, lul pIease caII lhe ofhce if you
notice that your trash corral is still cluttered at the bottom.
11. The residents that had new cable service installed during the fall or winter need to verify that the cable
is now buried. It is not uncommon for an installer to leave the wiring exposed because the ground is
frozen, but in spring, the wires risk getting cut by the lawn machinery. Remember to call your cable
provider and have this work scheduled as soon as possible.
12. Most of our policy at Highland Lakes is governed by the Bylaws and Master Deed of the Association,
which provides a broad treatment over a range of issues. This sometimes gets confusing while we are
al a oard or Connillee neeling, as sone residenls Iook lo lhose docunenls for cIarihcalion of neeling
conduct and procedures. The rest of this section is going to be boring for most of you, but I get asked
lhese queslions quile oflen. The lyIavs do indeed nap oul lhe povers of lhe oard ofhcers, direclors
and management, but they do not get into meeting conduct and procedural rules. In its most general
sense, the Association and development are governed by the Michigan Condominium Act, statutes and
guidelines that trickle down or are otherwise not inconsistent with other federal and state laws. The
Condominium Act establishes the necessary requirements of the Master Deed and required provisions
of the Bylaws that are attached as an exhibit or incorporated by reference. The broad framework also
gives the Board of Directors, as elected representatives of the Association, the power to enact further
poIicies, ruIes and reguIalions. So vhen for exanpIe, a residenl is loId lhal an HLCA ID card has lo
be presented to get into the pool, it may not be in the bylaws, but may be in the co-owners manual that
was established as policy by the Board. How about the conduct and procedure at meetings? Residents
ask where we get the rules that a motion has to be seconded, that committee meeting minutes must
le sulnilled and approved, or olhervise lhe aliIily of cerlain ofhcers lo conducl a oard neeling in a
certain way. These lesser known policies covering everything from the procedures at committee and
Board meetings to the ability of a general assembly to remove a committee member or Chair arise from
17
MANAGEMENT REPORT
Rolerls RuIes of Order. Wrillen hrsl in 19O7 ly Henry Rolerl, lhe ruIes provide lhe fundanenlaI
operating procedures for meetings of all kindsthousands of organizations have adopted this work
as their parliamentary authority. The rules were based upon practices and procedures of the British
IarIianenl and U.S. Congress. The ruIes enalIe us lo preserve our lasic righls in lolh Iarge assenlIies
and snaII neelings (Rolerls RuIes of Order, 1978 Ldilion, Ig. 1). HighIand Lakes has adopled Rolerls
Rules as a guideline for its meetings along with many other condominium associations and assemblies.
It is so widely accepted as a meeting framework, that the courts are well aware of its existence and
acceptance. Understand however, that while a resident may correctly cite a certain procedure at a
connillee neeling as leing againsl poIicy, il vouId le inaccurale lo cIassify il as iIIegaI. Sonelines
those words are used interchangeably by residents, but the latter is a very strong word. The Association
has accepted and adopted the rules to safeguard the democratic process at the meetings, but just a point
of cIarihcalion (lecause I have heard il nore lhan once), if ils nol againsl lhe Condoniniun Acl or
any olher slalule, lhen a proceduraI faiIure is nol againsl lhe Iav, lul is aclionalIe hrsl al lhe oard
or Management level as against the adopted policy. Roberts Rules, standing alone, is nothing more
than a guidebook or suggestion and is not enforceable by itself, but the ability of the Board to adopt it
as their policy is. The Association already knows this, so for instance, you may hear something like
ve canl vole on lhe second nolion, lecause lhere vas no vole on lhe hrsl nolion yel, or ve canl
have discussion on the motion or vote on it, because there was no second, so the motion fails. As far
as Board attendance at a committee meeting, I have heard that it was a prior practice or understanding
that a quorum of the Board should not be at a committee meeting because it is constructively a Board
meeting. That may have arisen under the notion of a courtesy or desire to give a degree of committee
independence, but if a Board meeting is not called to order and the Board members present are not
voting, then you really have nothing more than silent observers. The practice of calling meetings to
order and initiating the voting process is covered under Roberts Rules, but a prohibition of a quorum
of the Board is not. The committees make recommendations to the Board, and if the presence of the
Board members is still in line with that purpose, then the committee is still meeting in accordance with
ils oljeclives. Nolhing has leen sacrihced ly having lhe oard nenlers presenl, and lhere is no oard
neeling laking pIace. Iurlhernore, nolhing exisls lhal vouId prevenl oard nenlers fron voicing
opinions at committee meetings, although for the most part, they let the meeting take its course, as do
I, by attending, answering questions, or offering insight when the issue is critical. When you get into
voting at committee meetings, Board members typically will not, even though they are not sitting in
executive session or meeting as a Board. Arguably, if you have 4 board members voting at a committee
neeling, lhe presence of a quorun lhere is nol oard aclion, lul you can see lhe conicl lhal arises vhen
a committee is working on a recommendation and you know how its going to turn out before it even hits
the general assembly for discussion. Its no fun to start reading a book when you already know what the
ending will be. We have many policies at Highland Lakes and rules written and unwritten, that guide
us through our meetings and procedures. The Condominium Act establishes the requirements for the
development and a framework for its governance, but once established, those lesser known rules and
policies branch out from the bylaws as permissible Board action to establish further policies, and since
much of it is almost an industry standard or even common sense, the acceptability is rarely questioned.
Roberts Rules of Order are among those procedural guidelines.

MAINTENANCE REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners
FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent
1. TRASH, COMPOST AND BUILDING MATERIALS. Waste Management has started to pick up
compost for the season. Compost will only be picked up if packaged in a brown paper compost bag!!!
Please review the proper disposal procedures of trash, compost, building materials,
and paints, located on all of the trash corrals on the property.
Waste Management our trash hauler WILL NOT PICK UP IMPROPERLY BAGGED
COMPOST OR TRASH, AND IMPROPERLY PLACED BUILDING MATERIALS.
Lets all step-up to keep our community clean, & please report trash violators to the clubhouse.
Snow is finally gone for the year and
We made the all time snow fall record! 94.8
2. GROUNDS: We have started on the summer cleanup program. Snow plow damage restoration is
under way. Our first lawn cutting will start some time after the week of April 28th. Lawn fertilization
will be applied mid May weather permitting. General grounds cleanup & restoration will continue.
The crew has all ready gone through their first 50 ton of top soil! As of today, most of the winter
damage has been repaired. Please be patient with the cleanup process. In a lot of areas the ground is
still thawing out from the deep freeze. I have received a few questions about the browned out grass
along the sidewalks. First the salt used on the sidewalks is the same salt that has been used for the past
8 years, nothing has changed. What we are seeing is a combination of equipment scraping damage,
heat damage from the sun warming the sidewalks and drying out the grass and minor salt damage.
The best fix is Mother Nature and water, water, water. The grass will survive, and it will take time to
recover.
3. EQUIPMENT: We are in the process of getting the summer grounds equipment ready for the fast
approaching mowing season. With the harsh winter, our fleet of equipment was worked hard. The
total extent of repairs to trucks, plows, loaders, and spreaders will take some time to go through and
make all the repairs as they are found.
4. UNIT REPAIR: As of today, we are caught up on unit repairs that were storm related. We had a total
of two units that had damage this winter caused by ice dams. Both of those units have had the repairs
made. Additionally we had two units with minor pipe brakes. In both cases, the damage was caused
by Co-Owner owned items, and in both Cases the Co-Owners insurance paid for the damage and
repairs.
5. POOL: The Swimming pool is slated to be drained, cleaned, serviced, and filled on May 5th & 6th.
Also during the pool opening we have arranged to have the two areas on the pool bottom repaired
where the coating is failing. Our annual boiler inspection will be set up for the following week.
Thank You,
Ken Wiewiora, HLCA Maintenance Superintendent

COMMITTEE: Lakes Ecology MEETING DATE: April 1, 2014
We had a second reading of the proposed by-laws and hope to vote on these at the May
meeting.
There was much discussion on the Highland Lakes Condominium Association Rules for
Watercraft which had been prepared by Joe Poma as suggested at the March meeting.
The general feeling was that this 3 page document was too long for the purpose of being
rules, and included some helpful tips and suggestions as well as basic rules. Earl Smith
and Robert Armstrong have agreed to review it and condense it to a shorter document (of
rules only) which would be more likely to be read.
There was continued discussion on the shoreline upkeep and boat docks. Robert Armstrong
agreed to have a map at the next meeting to pinpoint locations for discussion.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:43 PM

Notice To All Watercraft
Owners:
If you have a watercraf at
Highland Lakes, it must be
registered by June 1st.
Registration takes place at
the clubhouse front desk
and costs $5.00 for all co-
owners of Highland Lakes.
All watercraf that remains unregistered or otherwise not brought within
policy guidelines will be confscated and sold. Confscation takes place
as late as September or October, but may take place earlier. If you have a
watercraf that was confscated but not yet sold, it may be removed from
impound afer payment of a $75.00 fee, plus any costs associated in bringing
it within policy guidelines.
Registration stickers should be placed on a highly visible part of the
watercraf and on a clean surface.
More details and exact policy guidelines are available
at the front desk or on our website at www.hlca.us.
Watercraf registrations are valid for the calendar year
in which they were purchased, but due to the timing
of the boating season and an attempt to maximize the
adhesion of the stickers, residents are not required
to register prior to June 1st.

Celebrating the Life of ANDY WRIGHT
O c t o b e r 1 9 , 1 9 4 6 - A p r i l 1 1 , 2 0 1 4
Lovingly submitted by his daughter, Katie Wright
My parents have lived in the Rippling
Lane Homes of Highland Lakes for 41 years
and my sister and I still are lucky enough
to come home to the same house where we
grew up. He loved all his friends at Highland
Lakes and talked about everyone ofen.
Te kindness and love that Dad showed
to family, friends and strangers is the success
story of his life, so lets refect, remember,
honor and celebrate the joy that he brought
to all of our lives.
My sweet Papa passed away the evening of April 11th, with
my sister, my mom (Ronnie Wright) and me by his side. It was
peaceful and gentle and it honored the way he lived. Its impossible
to sum up in words how much I loved him and felt loved by
him accept to say it felt unconditional and forever. He was my
mentor, my teacher, my best friend, my protector, my compass,
my Dad. Im pretty certain none of that changes in death and
that our relationship isnt ending but just
transforming into something new.
When I was little I used to sit
at our kitchen table trying to do
my homework and Dad would
sit a few feet in front of me on the
couch in the family room watching
TV. When I got majorly stuck on
something, or was sure I couldnt do it, I would start to cry and
get upset. I remember wishing he would just come to the table
and do it for me or show me how to do it. Instead, in his calm
Dad voice, he would just say Have you tried it on your own yet?,
which of course I hadnt really, and then hed say You have to
try it on your own frst, but you know if you need me Im right
here I always learned how to do it on my own, and it gave me
strength and confdence, he was magic because he knew that. Im
a little bigger now, but just as unsure in this moment. Tis all feels
a lot like back then and I can hear him saying those same words
to me, You have to try it on your own frst, but you know if you
need me Im right here . Ill miss him every day and Ill love him
and honor him with how I live. Tank you to everyone who knew
my Dad and loved him, he always felt grateful and blessed by the
life that was his.
From Andys daughter, Stephanie Wright
For anybody that had the pleasure
of knowing my Dad, you know that he
loved to laugh, he loved being a friend...a
real true friend. I was blessed that my
Dad was not only an amazing father
but he was one of my best friends. He loved to LIVE. He loved
to tell stories. He loved to make memories. He loved his family.
He was an animal lover, a swimmer, a builder, a fsherman, a
motorcycle, boat, Nascar lover and a cancer survivor. He was
a Spartan...110%. He loved country music, Bruce Springsteen,
oldies and everything American. He believed in and fought for
what was right. My Dad was cool....at least I always thought so.
So I miss my Dad a lot, like the deep in the middle of your bones
missing. In the quiet of the night, afer the sounds have gone to
sleep...its then when I want to hear his voice saying Good Night
Baby or seeing his sleepy face. Even though only a few days,
when I miss him, I hear his voice and I close my eyes and he is
there... right there, with that sweet smile that warms me from
the inside out. You see my Dad told me many times over years
that if something would ever happen to him, that a testament of
his legacy would be the strength that I could fnd when he was
no longer here. He promised me that as long as I closed my eyes
and heard his voice...that he would be there... not as the past but
very much in the present. My dad would overwhelmingly tell me
that if he ever got sick, that he would get on his bike and just ride
away. He said to think of him soaring above the clouds and on
his boat going fast like hell across the water.
My dad should be remembered for LIVING. For the love of
all things that brought life into the present. He wanted to be
remembered as a simple, hardworking,
honorable, family man. God only
knows he was so much more than that.
If one thing cherished that he taught
me, was that true authentic Love is
the most important thing. My Dad
LOVED me, my mom and my sister. He always said, we were his
world. Someone came up to me yesterday and I was explaining
that I got to spend a lot of time with my Dad over the past few
months, she said how lucky I was to be able to hear that my Dad
was proud of me.... I kind of smiled because it wasnt really like
that. From the time I was born, my Dad told me every day how
much he loved me and how proud he was of me... he showed me
every single day. I have realized so much more over those days
how unbelievably lucky I was to have him in my life.
I tried over and over again to prepare something to say as a
tribute to my Dad, every time I would write something I would
start over because there is no words or infnite amount of time
that could express the love I have for him.... so I decided to just
do my best and then live MY life in honor of him and how he
would be if he was still here.
Te last day I spoke to my dad he told me three things.... he
loved me, that he thought my Mom looked beautiful and that he
wouldnt do anything crazy.... the best part was he was smiling,
holding my hand.
You see, I KNOW I am blessed. I am FULL of his love. I
love you Dad and thank you again and again and again for being
everything you were to me.

Save Our
Woods
One of the wonderful features of
Highland Lakes is our woodlands.
They make many areas around Highland Lakes like an off-the-
beaten-road vacation experience.
Unfortunately, our woodlands are being overrun by some ecologically
damaging invasive plants, namely common buckthorn and garlic mustard. If
left unchecked they are capable of completely eliminating the native plants
and trees of our area from our woodlands. A buckthorn elimination test
project is scheduled for this spring with the Maintenance Department.
SATURDAY, MAY 17TH, we are planning a community garlic mustard pull.
If you like being in our woods with a purpose, please join us for some
Highland Lakes comradery and see how much we can accomplish towards
saving our woodlands.

Grounds Committee at 248-349-6782 or email joelalutz@yahoo.com.

Recently I had a phone call from a long time co-
owner who reported a scary incident which occurred at
her home. It was about twelve at night and she was upstairs
reading in bed. After a time, she started to hear odd sounds coming
from downstairs. She and her husband went down to investigate. As they got closer they
noted that noise was coming from the kitchen. The culprit was the coffee pot. The pot was a
Mr. Coffee, which many of us have. The plastic above the glass pot was buckling and starting to
smoke. Although they have a smoke detector, it had not yet gone off. The coffee pot was located
underneath a cupboard and could hae potentially caused a re. I the resident had not been
awake at that particular time, there might have been a disaster.
The coffee pot, in this instance, was not turned on. However it was plugged into the wall
socket. \e should all remember to unplug small appliances when not in use. Surprisingly, res are
quite often started in this way. I now make it a habit to unplug the coffee pot and toaster when not
in use. In addition, please be careul in the use o bathroom ents. 1here was a re in a nearby
community attributed to a bathroom ceiling vent. For some reason, the resident put the vent on
and let it run from morning to night. We live in a forty-three year-old community. The wiring in
the walls and ents is old. \e all need to be aware o this in order to aoid electrical res.
Another source of danger is old wall plugs. Oftentimes, we change the wall plate during
cosmetic renovations to our homes. However, most of us never think of replacing the actual
wall plug beneath the plate. In many cases these are original to your unit. An electrician doing
some work at our house advised that all of the plugs be replaced. Again, the wiring is old and
can actually create sparks when you plug or unplug something. If you notice this happening, it is
essential to address the issue. The plugs are cheap and can be purchased at Home Depot or some
of the hardware stores.
Happy Spring to all and Stay Safe!
