 MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Co-Owners RE: Property Manager’s Report
FROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager DATE: December 20, 2010

1. I am getting some repetitive questioning about one of the provisions in the Amended Bylaws packet, having to do
with the power of the Board to consider filling a vacant Board seat with the next highest runner-up from the previous
election. There is a misunderstanding that this is adding to the power of the Board. I am letting you know that it
is the exact opposite. Article 3, Section 7 of our current “Bylaws II” states that “vacancies in the Board of Directors
caused by any reason other than the removal of a director by a vote of the members of the Association shall be filled
by vote of the majority of the Board of Directors”. This means that if a Board seat becomes vacant, the Board may
appoint anyone they choose. The Amended Bylaws state that the Board of Directors should consider the next highest
runner-up in the previous election when making that decision. The new bylaws are telling the Board to consider
what the people would want and not what they themselves would want. I hope this helps with your decision.

2. There is a problem with people parking along Lehigh Lane, too close to the entrance of Windsor Court. We understand
why this is happening; we removed the “no parking” signs nearby to consolidate our signage. We have decided that
the signs need to go back, because there have been some close calls with cars pulling out of the lot. Regardless of
where you park, please remember to be careful when pulling out of the court lots, especially if your view is hindered
by a tree-line, berm, parked cars or other obstruction. For those parking near Windsor Court, please show some
courtesy and leave some space near the entry to Windsor. By the way, kids also have a habit of darting out between
cars with their bikes.

3. A true story: Last month a resident wanted to do her part in having her chimney inspected and cleaned. She moved
in 12 years ago and never used her fireplace, not even once. So when the chimney sweeps arrived and pulled off the
cap on the roof, what did they see? Nothing. The chimney extension pipe was missing and the chimney was just an
open pipe. By a strange twist of fate, she never decided to use her fireplace. If you decide to use your fireplace this
winter and have not had it cleaned recently, please remember it’s your roll of the dice. I cannot tell you how many
times over the course of the last 40 years that a chimney sweep may have forgotten to install something correctly, or
if rainwater rusted away the attaching screws. Once in awhile, every resident should shine a flashlight in their attic
and look at the chimney pipe going up through it. It may not tell you the whole story, but you might find the bird’s
nest or something even worse. A special thanks goes out to the residents that have had their chimneys cleaned.

4. Our maintenance crew is busy salting and clearing snow from the property, but it is impossible to get every last patch
of ice, so please be careful around the more heavily used portions of the property. These areas include the walkways
around the clubhouse and the parking lot, your front walkway and steps, and the sidewalk leading to your parked
car. Salt is available at the clubhouse and is provided as part of your assessments, so feel free to grab a coffee can full
and place it on your porch and steps whenever necessary.

5. Leaving windows open during the winter can lead to frozen pipes and flooding, if 1) you are leaving town for the
day or longer, or 2) you are a landlord that has tenants moving in and out. I have already called three non-resident
co-owners that were not aware that their condominiums were not secured and the windows were open. On the same
subject, leaving your windows open during the winter to stabilize the upstairs and downstairs temperatures is also
costing you. Most heat registers come with a control lever that will allow you to open and close the vent to adjust
the airflow, or you can even place something over it to stop the flow of hot air. Leaving the windows open keeps
the furnace running, while closing off a register increases the air volume to the remaining registers that will heat
the other rooms quicker and shut the furnace off quicker. If you are keeping the windows open because “Highland
Lakes pays for the heat”, remember that “you” are Highland Lakes and it is a $660,000 budget paid for with your
assessments. You may also be surprised to find out that water lines are running everywhere and don’t assume that
pipes will not freeze because of one very cold wall.

 Snow Removal Request Form
Handicapped/Disabled List – If you are in need of special attention with snow and ice removal, as
a courtesy, the Association maintains a list of those Co-Owners and residents that need this service,
forms can be obtained at the Clubhouse office.

You must complete and return the Special Attention Form along with a copy of your handicap sticker
that is displayed in your car. (We will make the copy for you.) Anyone with a permanent handicap plate
will of course be on the list. However we will still need a completed form on file and we will need to
know if this condition is a temporary or permanent condition.

We cannot guarantee that Maintenance will be able to provide this special attention for every snow
event; however, we will make every effort to do so.

If you are requesting this special service, please fill in the information below.

Check the box below that applies to you:

† Co-Owner is disabled
† Co-Owner is disabled and employed full-time or part-time.
† Co-Owner is disabled and has regular scheduled doctor appointments, therapy
sessions, chemotherapy treatments etc.

Please describe:

Date: Unit #:

Co-Owner Name:

Address:

Phone(s):

Please fill out the form completely, explaining your disability and your reasons for requesting that
you be placed on the Disabled List

Residents who meet the above criteria and provide a doctor’s note stating your disability will have
the snow cleared away from their porch and sidewalk first.

 Snow
Removal
During the weekend, how much snowfall is required before maintenance will be called in?
Answer: 4 inches or more measured in more than three areas on the property.

Why does my court seem to be last during the recent snowfall?

Answer: To attempt to bring some semblance of fairness, the starting point of snow
removal efforts change each time.

Why does it seem to take so long to clean my parking spaces?

Answer: Maintenance depends on the cooperation of the Co-Owners to empty the courts of cars
before plows can safely plow the spaces. The plows cannot fit in between parked cars.

Why did Maintenance leave a small amount of snow on the sidewalk this time?
Answer: Leaving a small amount of snow provides traction to more safely walk.

Why does the Association have an adopted snow policy?

F
Answer: (A) To keep our Co-Owners informed of what to expect from the Association
(B) It is required as part of our Risk Management procedures.
How long should it take Maintenance to completely finish snow removal efforts?

A
Answer: 48 hours or less depending on the weather and the amount of snow.

In what order, and when, is snow blowing and plowing handled?

Answer: FIRST DAY SECOND DAY
5 – Approach Walks

Q
1 – Streets
2 – Clubhouse 6 – Porches
3 – Main Sidewalks 7 – Parking Spaces
4 – Centers of Courts (Only if courts are clear of cars)

S now R emoval P RoceduRes

1. NoRmal sNow eveNts:
• 2-3 inches - Clearing will begin during the snowfall and maintenance will work normal hours
following the established Snow Policy.
• 4 inches or more – Maintenance will clear on weekends and at night following the Snow Policy.
2. laRge sNow eveNts:
6 inches or more - Maintenance will begin clearing main sidewalks and traffic lanes during the snow
event. If necessary, they will continue the removal effort until 10:00 p.m. The next morning they will
begin a second clearing effort and work until all walks and courts are cleared, or until 8:00 p.m.
3. sNow emeRgeNcies/BlizzaRds:
More than 10 inches - Efforts will be focused on keeping main roads, traffic lanes and main sidewalks
open to emergency traffic only. Once those elements are clear, work will begin on approach sidewalks
and courts. Maintenance will work up to 14 hours per day, until the roads, courts and walks are
clear. Contractors may be called in if necessary. The priority treatment of the handicapped list will be
suspended during these events. Exceptions for emergencies will be handled on a case basis.
4. PaRkiNg sPaces: After the primary snow removal efforts are completed, maintenance will begin clearing parking
spaces if cars are out of the court. Management encourages Court Captains to facilitate the removal of cars and contact
the Clubhouse to advise when their court is clear and management will then contact maintenance to begin plowing the
parking spaces within that court. If maintenance is ready to plow a court, the Association may also contact the court
captains to facilitate the movement of parked vehicles.
5. oveRall goal: The Association shall have the sidewalks, courts (not parking spots), and roads, clear within 48 hours
of the cessation of a snow event.
6. HazaRdous coNditioNs: During the winter, the weather conditions favor the potential
for slippery sidewalks, porches and roads. Please use due care and caution during
this time of the year and keep a supply of ice-melter, which is available at the
Clubhouse, at your home for your use.

 ADULT
CHRISTMAS
PARTY
The Adult
Christmas party that
was held on Saturday,
December 4, 2010 was a
great success!
The food and dessert
were delicious, and
everyone participated in
the Christmas game.

Joe Sattler played Santa

Claus again this year, even
wore Santa’s hat, and did
a terrific job! Everyone
went home with a
Christmas gift, and some
with extra money from
the raffle.

We missed a few of our

regulars and hopefully
they’ll be able to
attend the party next
year. The committee
would like to thank
everyone for attending the Adult
Christmas party, and hope to see
everyone there again next year.
A good time was had by all!

 Highland Lakes Condominium Association
FIREPLACE AND CHIMNEY CLEANING POLICY
(Short-Form)
Issued and Passed by the Board of Directors: October 1, 2005

The National Fire Protection Association (N.F.P.A.) cites one major cause of home heating fires
as a lack of regular cleaning and resultant creosote and nesting material build-up in wood-burning
devices, associated chimneys and connectors.
Highland Lakes Condominium Association, in the interest of reducing the likelihood of fires resulting
from improperly maintained fireplaces and chimneys, requires that all fireplaces and chimneys be
inspected and cleaned by a qualified, licensed and properly insured contractor on an annual basis.
This policy, as approved and adopted by the Board of Directors, is mandatory for all units containing
a fireplace.
Responsibilities:
Highland Lakes has adopted a Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning and Inspection Policy. The Association
shall be responsible for publishing co-owner notification in the Herald and making this program mandatory
for all units containing a fireplace.
Owners are responsible for ensuring access to each fireplace and chimney in accordance with normal
Association procedures, scheduling the annual inspection and cleaning, maintaining the fireplace and
appurtenant hardware and responsibly using the fireplace as designed.
The contractor shall diligently perform all duties per N.F.P.A. and building codes. The inspection and
cleaning report shall disclose in writing the name of the owner, street address, unit number, date of service,
name of technician, findings of the inspection, description of the service provided and confirm that the
fireplace and appurtenant hardware and chimney are safe or unsafe for normal usage. A copy of this report
shall be given to the owner and a signed true copy to Highland Lakes. Further, if the fireplace is found
unsafe, the contractor shall red tag the unit and immediately notify the Property Manager or Maintenance
Superintendent, and the owner of the unit.
The owner(s) of each condominium unit shall be responsible for the cost to inspect, clean, and maintain
their unit’s fireplace, flue and chimney. Repairs to the fireplace, firebox, firebricks, flue, and chimney up to
the point of the roofline shall be the sole responsibility of the condominium owner. Repairs to the chimney
roof enclosure, screen and/or vent pipe above the roofline shall be the responsibility of the Association.

Notes:
1) A full-copy of the Fireplace and Chimney Cleaning Policy is available free of charge, at the clubhouse, to
any co-owner or occupant.
2) Fireplaces and wood burning appliances are used to a greater extent during the winter months or colder
weather. This is the time when fires typically occur due to a failure to clean and inspect. HLCA is advising
all residents of this issue. Your own inspection of your fireplace and the ability to see daylight as you look
up the chimney is not a sufficient determining factor that the fireplace is fit for use. Creosote, ash deposits,
nesting material, etc. may be bound to the inside walls and look like the wall itself. A qualified professional
must do the work.
3) HLCA has business cards at the office for resident-recommended contractors that have done work here for
years. The price for the work is somewhat nominal.
4) Any questions should be directed to the administrative staff.

 The bad news is that there have been two
motor vehicle larcenies in Highland Lakes in the
last month. One took place in Old Bridge Court, and the
other in Bryn Mawr. An iPod was stolen from one car and a GPS from the
other car. There was also an attempt to steal vehicle batteries, which left police a bit
perplexed. They are now working on the case. The following are tips from the police
which have appeared in The Herald once before. These are important suggestions which
are worth repeating:
To Reduce The Risk of Becoming A VicTim of LARceny fRom AuTo:

• Lock your car doors.

• Never leave anything in plain view inside the passenger compartment (such as
shopping packages, CDs, purses, cell phones, GPS devices, etc.)
• Place valuables in the trunk while you are out shopping.
• Report all suspicious activity.
• Park in well-lit areas
• Utilize store security or management to walk you to your car. This puts additional
eyes and ears in the parking lot to prevent criminal behavior.

Have a Safe and Happy 2011!
