BOARD COMMENTS
The calendar says this is spring and if you have not done so we request that
you please remove all Holiday decorations, snow shovels, sleds and other winter
reminders from your yard and front porch. Also, just a reminder that bikes and
toys should be put inside or in the patio. Grass cutting and lawn restoration is
starting and nothing should be left on the front lawns and on the porch during the
spring and summer months. Also, we ask that if you park on the street, please
be certain that your car tires are not on the lawns because tire tracks are already
on the lawns.
If you are contemplating cleaning up your patios, front lawns, and flower gardens
the compost pick-up begin on April 1st through November 30. Please be advised
that all compost must be placed in brown compost bags,, available at any local
store and placed on the side, outside of the trash bin. No plastic or grocery brown
bags should be used. Also, we ask that all loose trash such as pizza boxes should
be broken down and put in sturdy plastic trash bags as well as McDonald cups
and bags. Nothing should be put in the bins unless they are placed in large gar-
bage bags tied securely.
We are having a problem of residents not picking up their animal’s waste, espe-
cially around the lakes. When it rains, it washes the waste into the lakes, reduces
the water quality and is not healthy for the residents of Highland Lakes. Local
pet stores apparently sell “doggie waste bags” that come with clips that can be
fastened to a dogs leash until the bags are ready to use. These bags may then
be put into the trash bins because they will not split open. Thank you for your un-
derstanding and help in this situation.
The first meeting of the Grounds Committee will be April 6, at 7:00 p.m., please
plan to attend this meeting and join the Grounds Committee.
Kathleen Connor,
President

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORT
COMMITTEE: Court Captain MEETING DATE: March 9, 2010
The multi-cultural event was mentioned as well... Joel Lutz volunteered to attend some Family/
Social Committee meetings to broach the subject and get input regarding ideas on what can
be done to initiate a means of recognizing and bringing attention to the many different cultures
represented in Highland Lakes.
Joel Lutz reported that Mann Court is still without representation other than a volunteer who
will deliver “Heralds“ if they are delivered to her doorstep.
The Annual Township Safety meeting has yet to be scheduled. Director Werth & Officer
Burrough have promised to advise when it is put on the calendar. For now, it has been delayed
until further notice.
Robert and Marianne had their first “Welcome to Highland Lakes” session with new residents
from Barbados in Neptune Ct. Marianne has contacted a few Court Captains for support
when meeting with new residents but has not had much response. She has decided to work
solo with this program for the moment. Three new residents were interviewed and were spot-
lighted in the Herald. Due to space limitations in the “Herald” the “Welcome” page can only
facilitate about three per month. Marianne has about eight more new residents to introduce.
Not all newcomers are open to having a personal visit; however, a package will be available to
all. Even if the new resident does not accept a visit, we feel that the package should be sent to
the new resident via the HLCA office.
It was mentioned that Real Estate Agents are reluctant to show available housing in HLCA due
to our high Association fees. If they had the package Marianne developed as a reference it
may be easier to understand and explain the higher association dues. It is not, however, the
duty of a Realtor to demonstrate justification of our fees for potential new buyers.
Betty Parzych told us where there was a recycling center in Novi that anyone can go to and
recycle bottles, plastic and cans. It is on 11 mile Road between Novi Rd. and Meadowbrook.

Court Captain Committee Report, March 9, 2010 - Page 2
Terry McNally reported that Brose will not cooperate with our lighting efforts because the
volume is not high enough. Ace Hardware’s price is almost twice what Brose would charge.
Emphasizing adequate lighting is a very important issue within our community. Not enough
residents seem to be aware of how important it is to cutting crime. Director John Werth told
us that the more lighting we have the less crime we will experience. Diane Pittaway said
that she feels like giving residents who do turn their porch and/or patio lights on a Thank you
note. Not a bad idea….
Pet owners who continue to dispose of their pet’s waste by just slinging the little bags into
our waste bins continue to add cost to our Waste Management fees. How can we
stop this bad behavior? There are also co-owners who leave children’s toys and shovels
and miscellaneous items lying about in front of their units without regard for neighbors and
the mess it makes in the court. Contacting Joe Poma for resolution would be a solution to
problems like that.
Terry McNally edited the Court Captain description that is on the HLCA website, but it is still
too long. Robert Armstrong and Barbara Adams will work on a revision that is shorter and
more accurate for proposal at the April meeting.
Joel indicated that a correction needed to be made to last month’s minutes regarding the
“egger”. The “egger” was not a HLCA resident as the police previously reported. The “egger”
was a Northville Township resident.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORT
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. HLCA WEB PAGE. Members agreed on text and layout of the page. Judi Alessandri will
take pictures later when the plantings in front of the Clubhouse have been done. Rental
application forms and regulations and Committee By-Laws will be included.
2. FUTURE PROJECTS
a. Library.
We are obtaining prices from two sources for installing new laminate on the tops and
refinishing the legs of the three tables in the Library. It was decided to keep the magazine
rack. Members will investigate the possibility of replacing some of the 37-year old dust-
filled furniture. We will purchase new pads for the chairs to complement whatever
improvements we are able to make.
b. Kitchen
Sally Rigo once again thoroughly cleaned the kitchen, including the cabinet fronts. We
have put I a work order to have the old curled linoleum removed from the cabinet under the
sink, and will replace it wit new tile which has been donated.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORT
COMMITTEE: Finance MEETING DATE: February 25, 2010
ITEMS DISCUSSED:
1. Management reviewed Vision Committee meeting discussions. The Court sign purchase
will most likely be given to Eagle contractors. Tom Byrne stated that there was some
concern with their current credit rating, but he felt it was not significant enough to stop the
purchase.
2. Management updated the Committee on the standing of the Condo that Highland Lakes
purchased. It is finished and listed for sale at $99,900. So far, one potential buyer toured
the condo. No further responses. Exercise Room renovation is underway. (As of this
date it is complete.)
3. The monthly Finance Report was reviewed and discussed. No significant problems.
$100,000 was put into a money market fund to create interest of approximately 1%.
5. Per Management, the Board has decided that the Bank of America Bankcard Reward
Points will be applied toward our current credit card account balance -
(approximately $600.)
6. Tom Goebel came as a guest and presented a proposal to supply a preliminary study as
to potential savings of energy, water/sewer, and other “green” recommendations. Cost of
the study would be $1,500. Tom Byrne, Management, and the Finance Committee will
review and discuss further. Most likely this will wait until budget time.

COMMITTEE: Herald MEETING DATE: March 8, 2010
MEMBERS PRESENT:
Beverly Dudley, Chairperson
Darrel Quinn, Co-Chairman
Liette Paiement, Secretary
Sandy Nolan, Board Liaison
Robert Armstrong
Wilma Leonard
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Beverly Dudley, together with all committee members would like to express a special “THANK
YOU” to Herald Staff: Lorna DeGalan, Tom DeGalan, Gloria Janks, Betty Parzych, Ray
Parzych, Joel Lutz, Lesley Reisland and Sally Rigo.
2. Quotes from other printers - After talking with different printers, Darrel Quinn reported that the
cost we are charged from Whitlock Business Solutions for printing the Herald is quite
competitive. Mr. Quinn will keep looking.
3. In order to reduce our costs, Beverly Dudley will ask Whitlock Business Solutions what the
price would be by reducing the total printed copies from 725 to 700. She will also ask for
earlier delivery. As of now, the cost fro printing the Herald is greater than the revenue from our
advertisers.
4. Fun Page: We will continue to offer a prize. This month, the winner will have to look for their
unit number somewhere in the Herald. A crossword puzzle will also be printed, just for fun...
5. Condo Unit #550 owned by the Highland Lakes Condominium Association: Robert Armstrong
made a motion, seconded by Sandy Nolan, which passed unanimously: that an advertisement
in the Herald appear monthly by HLCA. This one page advertisement will be extended until
the unit is sold.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: One page advertisement in the Herald for Unit #550
(owned by HLCA will be run until the unit is sold.

HIGHLAND LAKES COMMITTEE REPORT
ITEMS DISCUSSED:
A. Roll Call
B. Per the Board’s directive, the Vision Committee invited Joe Poma and Ken Wiewiora to the
meeting for an update on the roofing and siding project and in what areas the Vision
Committee can be helpful.
Mr. Poma explained the purpose of a general contractor and that they were discussing our
project with Wimsatt, the foremost supplier of building materials in Michigan. Currently he
and Ken Wiewiora are compiling prices and trying to determine the best approach to the
roofing and siding project.
Ken explained that they submitted the Master Plan approved by the Board and designed by
McKenna to Wimsatt. He noted that at this point colors and design of shutters, etc., was
not the priority. He stated that the project is more complicated than they had hoped.
The roofing project may incorporate some of the architectural changes as noted in the Mas
ter Plan, but this too is still in the beginning stages of discussion. To determine what to do
will entail more investigation, discussion and analysis of budget constraints.
C. The committee reviewed the sign bids. Motion by Gyda Werner, second by Brad Todorov
to accept the bid of Eagle Sign Company for an amount not to exceed $45.000, including
installation. Signs will be upper and lower case letters. The motion was approved
unanimously.

Vision Committee Report, March 23, 2010 - Page 2

Company for an amount not to exceed $45,000, which includes installation.

MAINTENANCE REPORT
TO: Property Manager / Board of Directors/Co-Owners
FROM: Ken Wiewiora, Maintenance Superintendent
DATE: March 15, 2010
RE: Monthly Maintenance Report
Please review the proper disposal procedures of trash, compost, building materials, and
paint, which is located on all of the trash corrals on the property. Our trash hauler-Waste
Management-will not pick up improperly bagged compost, trash, or improperly placed
building materials. Let’s all step up to keep our community clean; please report trash viola-
tors to the Clubhouse.
1. Unit/Building Repair: Typical roof leaks from ice damage and repair requests have
been flowing in, nothing out of the ordinary. Last month we had two sewer backups in
units that had to be snaked.
2. Snow and Ice Removal: Looks as if Mother Nature has finally settled down with snow
fall. The last two snow falls heavily worked our equipment, and the older equipment
showed this with multiple breakdowns.
3. Workout Room: The weight room project is complete, the room received a face lift,
paint, carpet and a good cleaning. Items that need to be hung on the wall will be replaced
per weight room users input.
4. Spring Grounds Clean Up: Spring grounds cleanup will be underway shortly. Once the
weather breaks and the ground dries up, we will restart leaf pickup and a once over on
the entire property. Once the weather warms up a little and the pot holes in the courts
and on private roads dry out, we will start filling and patching our potholes. The Clubhouse
parking lot is scheduled to be seal coated and line painted in mid April, weather
permitting.
5. Silver Spring Beach: The Silver Spring beach has been restored. We added
150 ton of sand in the water to restore the beach to its original length. Once the ground
dries up we will regrade and rake the beach out. We also have started this seasons
cleanup of the nature trail around Silver Spring Lake.
Please, if there are any ground or building concerns, contact the Clubhouse at 248/349-4006
and a work order will be submitted.
Thank You,
Ken Wiewiora, Maintenance Superintendent

MANAGEMENT REPORT
TO: Board of Directors/Co-Owners
FROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager
DATE: March 15, 2010
RE: Management Report
1. Please do not place loose garbage, cans full of paint and construction materials in or
around the trash bins. These are all items that have been spotted in and around the
enclosures. Please take the time to bag your trash appropriately and adhere to the
policies regarding disposal. Our trash contractors have to hand-pick the garbage,
because there is no bin to dump. If they have to spend a long time to remove the trash
or make a special trip, there is also special pricing and our prices may go up when the
contract expires.
2. I spoke with the manager of Park Place about one of their residents that is letting his dog
run all over our property and not cleaning up after it. She informed me that there are a
few residents there that will be evicted for their habitual violations. One of the residents
has several Greyhounds that are running loose on our patio areas. The management
there and the police are both aware of the problem. If you see this individual again, let me
know or call the police.
3. The Silver Spring road petitions may be going out in the month of April, if I do not receive
some sort of written confirmation that the road is scheduled to be repaved in 2011. I
would like to thank all of the residents that participated in displaying our objection to
the condition of the road. I will place the letter that I sent to the politicians in a future
Herald. We all know that money is limited in Wayne County right now, but nobody else is
conveying their discontent about the condition of their roads, as we are here.
4. The clubhouse fitness center has been repainted and re-carpeted. The treadmill was also
cleaned and repaired. I hope you enjoy the new facility.
5. New residents of our community are encouraged to complete their “census” forms at the
office as soon as they move in. This will give our staff important emergency contact and
vehicle registration information. Welcome to Highland Lakes!
6. Now that winter is over, it’s time to put away all of those snow shovels and sleds that you
have around your front porch. Remember to store bicycles and other toys inside or on the
patio area too.
7. The FHA recently changed their certification requirements for approving new loans in
condominium communities. As a result of the mortgage crisis, it has been more difficult
for new purchasers to get anything other than conventional financing (20% down),
unless the community Bylaws meet stringent requirements. The Board of Directors with
assistance from the corporate counsel is therefore reviewing and updating our bylaws.
Most of the changes to the current bylaws will be an effort to synchronize the original
documents with the Condominium Act (something that is required), and when discussion
is complete at the Board level, the bylaws packet will be submitted to the residents for
discussion and vote. If the residents are in agreement with the packet, it will be adopted
and recorded as our new bylaws. The proposed bylaws packet that is sent to each
resident will be accompanied with an explanatory letter, describing each change in detail,
so that you understand the changes that are being proposed. As always, if you have any
questions, I will happy to assist you. The proposed bylaws closely resemble our current
documents as it is, so the reading should be fairly easy when we get to that point.
8. Our grounds maintenance staff is busy cleaning the property of all debris that
accumulated during the winter months and was hidden by the snow. Over the next few
9. If you see the maintenance staff holding a long pole and cover over the street light
fixtures, they are testing the photo cells on the lights and replacing bulbs as needed.
Nevertheless, if you see any lights that are out during the evening, please report it to
the office.
10. I did not forget about the security guard position that was budgeted for 2010. We just
figured that it would be better placed during the spring and summer months, when the
pool is open and we have people loitering on the docks, in the parking lot, or around
the beach. I plan on hiring for this position in the month of May. If all goes well,
there will be a small security vehicle driving around here with a flashing yellow light
(depending on how annoying that gets, we may decide not to use the light).
11. I am still hiring for lifeguards at the pool for the summer months. Employment
for the lifeguards typically begins on April 26th when we get the pool ready for the
season. This requires cleaning the pool, removing all of the covers and installing
equipment. We also intend on cleaning out our two large pool filters and installing
fresh filter sand, so the water this year should be very clean and clear. If you know
of anyone who would be interested in a seasonal lifeguard position (typically 20-30
hours per week or less), have them stop in the office and complete an application.
Our lifeguards are certified and usually undergo Red Cross and CPR training, but we
may hold a seminar to certify them. So far, I have hired 2 lifeguards for the season,
including a Head Lifeguard, but we need a total of seven. The lifeguards from last
year with the exception of one, all have educational requirements or alternative
employment.
12. As spring and summer approaches, so too will the inconvenience of having to move
your cars as we conduct asphalt and concrete work throughout the community. Last
year was a success, and this is something that will continue in years to come.
13. We are compiling bids for community-wide roof replacements, since the last time
this was done was between 1989 and 1991. Our long-term budget is providing for
it. Anyone interested in discussion on this topic or improvements to the structure are
welcome to attend a Vision Committee meeting, or submit questions to Engineering,
Finance, the Board via a letter or attendance at a Board meeting, or a phone call to
the office. I am reminding all residents that you are welcome to attend any committee
meeting for Highland Lakes, and the schedule is at the Clubhouse.
14. April is a good month to start shopping for certain varieties of flowers and plant
bulbs in an effort to dress up the front of your home. You may also get some good
pre-season pricing down the street at Home Depot. For any of you that do your
own fertilizing, April and May are the months for “pre-emergent” weed control for
crabgrass, with dandelions following in May. Our contract with TruGreen provides for
this, but some residents prefer to supplement it with their own. If you have flowers
and ornate landscaping around your home, you may also want to buy some “Preen”
at the local home improvement store. Placing this on the flowerbed every three
weeks acts as a pre-emergent for weeds, but it does not work on grass.
15. I have received word that Joe Sattler will be chairing the Election Committee again
this year. Our thanks go out to Joe for this often thankless task. We may be assured
that our elections are fair and impartial. Don’t forget to submit your resumes and
ballots when the time comes. Your vote counts.
16. Please remember to pick up after your pet, park in your own parking space, don’t be
