Discussion: Kathy explained that the board did haveknowledge that the Finance Committee was going tomake their recommendation, so to be expedient, theBoard discussed it in closed session and voted to enter acontract with Constellation Energy Company. The ratefor a one-year contract with them will be $3.65/MCF.(our current rate with Consumers Energy is $6.23/MCF). Kathy said that this adjustment will save theassociation $100-200K over the year.

Joe added that, before the deregulation over 10 years ago,he had prior experience with bulk natural gas suppliersand it was a nightmare, so he entered this endeavor with extreme caution. Joe said he called Consumers

are legitimate since the industry was deregulated in2003. Joe said it seemed too good to be true, and to independent suppliers, and they explained that thegeneral public is simply unaware of their options. Joeexpressed that he feels that this is a good move.

association fees. Joyce answered and explained that the said we may also decide to use the savings to stock up

on materials this year for next year before the increasegoes into affect. No decision has been made as ofnow. When it comes time to plan the budget for nextyear, well have to see where we are at that point. Rayasked about how the warm winter has been favorable toour budget. Earl answered that were currently below

budget due to the partially warmer winter that weve would be realized to the co-owners through the savings project, which is going to get more expensive as theyears go on.

Kathy said that after the Audit meeting on March 26th,the board anticipates being able to discuss shingles and

research with his job, (they purchase a lot of buildingmaterials), and there is a prediction that by the end ofMarch, shingles are going to go up by $35/square. Theboard will decide whether to do more buildings thisyear, or stock up on materials for next year.

calculated the savings on natural gas. Joe explained thathe looked at our usage over the past year and roundedwhat we had paid through Consumers Energy to $6/MCF. (over the year we use approx. 54K MCF), so theaverage cost for natural gas is $6.00 x 54K per year =$324K per year. With the new company, well only bepaying $3.65/MCF, so the estimated annual cost wouldbe $197K, which is a savings of $127K. Joe reiteratedthat were actually paying more than $6/MCF (theamount on our current bill is $6.23), so our savings isactually going to be more than $127K. Joe just usedthis number as a worst case scenario. Consumers hasalso told Joe that they plan to cap their rate at $5.45/MCF beginning April 1st.

Joel Lutz asked who would service the gas in the case ofan emergency. Joe answered that Consumers Energy

would still be our service provider, and we are still payingmaintenance and distribution fees to them. The bill willstill come from Consumers Energy; the only change tothe bill is the line item that shows the gas cost for thenatural gas itself. Joe added that Consumers Energyis not allowed to discriminate against us because wereusing a different supplier. He added that if at any time we will be able to switch back to Consumers with nopenalty or additional charges. (as long as it is only oncewithin a 12 month period.)

Community Social Committee: VerbalMichelle Todorov reported to the board. Michelle invited

everyone to attend the Easter Breakfast on Saturday,March 31st at 10:00 a.m. The event will include apancake & sausage breakfast, story time, Easter egghunt, and a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Co-Owner Forum Judy OConnor: Judy asked if the association had

considered offering an option for people to pay theirdues with a credit or debit card. Joe answered that it

had been considered many times. He explained that theproblem is that there is a 3% surcharge with credit cardtransactions, and when they checked into it in the past, itreally wasnt worth it. The surcharges overtake the value

Property Manager Report: VerbalJoe reported that he would be hiring Labor Ready again

units that will be re-roofed this year will be receiving aletter from Joe introducing them to RoofOne. RoofOne

A resident asked if DA Home Improvement wassurprised that they didnt get the job this year. Joeanswered that he didnt sense any level of surprise. They did try to lower their price at the last minute,but it didnt work, and the board chose RoofOne. DAknew we were displeased with the lag time between theinstallation of the shingles and the installation of thetrimwork.

Joel Lutz asked if RoofOne has been made aware ofthe details that had to be ironed out with DA last year.(ie fascia details, trimwork). Ken answered that theyhave been made aware of everything. He added that

the details and the drawings have been revised, andthe items that werent clear last year are spelled out inmore detail in this years bid pack, so there should bepack. Ken added that hes had a lot of meetings withthe rep from RoofOne, showing him the property andwhat was done last year.

A resident asked if we are doing more buildings this year. Joe answered that were currently scheduled to do 16buildings, which is 6 more than last year.

Joe also reported that hes hired a security guard for

the season, Matthew Harper, who will be startingMarch 21st. Joe said this is a month earlier than lastyear because of the recent problems weve had on theathletic courts. He said the courts get overrun withkids that are swearing, littering, loitering, vandalizing,urinating and he had to get it under control. Joe saidthat he can kick the kids off the courts until 5pm, butkids come right back.

The security guard has years of experience with lossprevention, surveillance, and also has served in themilitary. He will have a Highland Lakes Security IDcard, and the after hours service will have his cellnumber to contact him if theres an emergency. Hisshift will primarily be 4pm - 12am, Wednesday throughSunday. Joe will be introducing Matt at the next CourtCaptains meeting as well.

Earl asked if the athletic courts would be locked. Michelleanswered that all the gates are locked, and residents will

the courts. Michelle said that even though the gates arebeing locked, theyre climbing the fence and breaking inanyway. She added that the disturbance on the court hasbeen unbearable, and she has had to call the police on acouple of occasions.

Joe said that hes instated a policy that requires that anyonesigning the key out also has to sign an agreement withthe rules to using the courts. Michelle remarked thatsince the agreements have been signed, shes noticed apositive difference.

The Meeting adjourned at 8:34 p.m.

of the service since it is unlikely that the majority of co-owners would use it. Joe said hed have to survey all 691co-owners to see who would be willing to take advantageof it.

Ken added that a credit card machine wouldnt work in-house because of the surcharge that the associationwould have to pay for the service, and the associationcannot absorb that expense for the convenience of a few

co-owners. He continued saying that there are servicesavailable where you can pay with your card at the bank,(theyll swipe the card on their end), the bank forwardsthe surcharge to you, and they send your associationpayment (check) to us.

Robert Armstrong: Following up with the solicitationissue he brought up at the February board meeting,Robert brought samples of the periodicals that arebeing delivered and photos of how they are littering thesupplement (advertising) that are dropped on thewalkways and lawns on Sunday mornings at around 6:00a.m. (Robert said hes seen the delivery person driving

a red car in his court this weekend). He requested thatthe association pursues stopping these deliveries.

Joe said that hes stopped solicitors from going doorto door during the week, but hasnt seen the peopledistributing the pink bags. After reviewing the samplesRobert brought, Joe said that these supplementsare a publication of the Detroit Free Press. Robertreiterated that the publications are being dropped

door to door in many courts, and since HLCA is a nosolicitation community and private property, he wantsthis distribution to stop. Robert said hed try to getthe license plate number the next time shes deliveringin the courts. Robert said we should get the policeinvolved to issue citations for littering. Joe said hedalso contact the sales department at the Free Press tomake them stop.

left on her court, and some of her neighbors are out ofstate for the winter, so the solicitations are really pilingup. Kathy said that the association would continue topursue it and make them stop.

COMMITTEE: Herald MEETING DATE: March 12, 2012

DISCUSSION:

1. Review of February and March issue - feedback is positive on some of the new features. There hasbeen a good response to Whats Cooking Recipe contributions are coming in, but Know YourNeighbor response is slow. Wilma feels that many residents are too modest to toot their own horn.She suggests that residents call her if they are aware of something special happening on their court.She will contact the individual(s) involved for permission to include the achievement in the columnand she will write the article. Hopefully this will elicit more entries. Also, the form for a Know YourNeighbor contribution will be inserted again in the April issue.

2. Marty suggested it is time for some spring cleaning. Get rid of Christmas decorations, pick upfallen tree branches in your yard, etc. This unseasonable weather is the perfect time to spruce up theneighborhood.

3. Regarding the bumps and potholes on Silver Spring Drive: residents are, once again, urged to callLaura Coxs assistant with a request for repaving of this busy road. Joe Poma is enlisting the help ofrental residents in Swan Harbor and Park Place and homeowners on Rippling Lane. Their use of SilverSpring is also affected by the poor condition of this county road.

4. Robert Armstrong will write an article directed at pet owners, some of whom seem not to be awarethat the by-laws of Highland Lakes and city ordinances prohibit such actions as a cat or dog

roaming unleashed on the property.

1. The Property Manager submitted a memo to the Committee outlining a possible change in ourgas supplier. Our present supplier, Consumers Energy, no longer has a monopoly on the supplyof natural gas.

2. A member questioned the discretionary spending items as he felt it circumvents the annual

budget process since there is no account in the budget for it. Joe pointed out that certain needs,unknown at budget time, could be provided for if we have a surplus in our current budget at anygiven time.

the next few weeks these areas should be completed. With the warm weather still in our forecast we will

be focusing on the grounds for areas that need repair, and clean up. We will be putting out the groundstrash cans around the property this week, as well as Turing on the lake pumps on Crystal lake shortly, as

long as the weather holds out.

2. Equipment: Both the 1998 pickup, the 2000 pickup and the 2003 van, all went to the dealer this month

for repairs to the ABS brake system. At this point it is still early to put away all of the snow equipment,

this will take place mid April.

3. Building Repairs: Work order requests for building repairs have be coming in at a normal rate. We are

seeing the typical seasonal type of work orders. Basement leaks, Sewer back up, ect. There was wind

contractor D. A. Home has repaired these items covered under warrantee. Additionally we had 10 otherunits that shingles blew off. We are doing these repairs in house.

4. Fence repairs: Fence repair requests have been increasing over the last year again. I will be dedicating

one employee once again this summer to do fence repairs.

Thank You,Ken Wiewiora, HLCA Maintenance Superintendent

Please, if there are any ground or building concerns, contact the Clubhouse at

1-248-349-4006 and request a work order to be submitted.

Please review the proper disposal procedures of trash, compost, and 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.

Spring has arrived, and with it comes the loiterers and

litterers in our athletic courts; mostly non-residents

looking for a place to hang out after school.

In recent years, the athletic courts have been a place

to congregate, swear, litter, drink or have an outdoor

party when there is nothing else to do. Neighboring

residents are growing tired of the noise. We havebeen forced to make repeated trips to the courts at

the end of the day to tell people that dont even live here to leave the

property. In many cases, there is one resident child and ten of his friends.

Parents need to know where and what their kids are doing at all hours,

and remind them that there are other people that live here as well.

Due to the misuse of the courts, Highland Lakes has decided to

start locking the gates and requiring that a key be checked out at the

front desk. The person checking the key out will have to sign in with

their name and address and make sure that the court is locked again

individual continues to violate the rules or does not lock the court upon

leaving, their privileges to use the court will be suspended at the discretion

of management. If any person, resident or otherwise, attempts to gain

access to the courts by climbing the fence or forcing the gate open, thepolice will be called and damages will be assessed. This new

policy is in existence for the quiet use and enjoyment of

the property by all who live here. If you have any

Father Paul exhibited an early vocation, having spent his high school years at thePontifcal Institute or Missionary Expeditions located near the University o Detroitand his college years at U o D. Aer ordination, he was assigned as principal o P.I.M.E.

High School in Newark, Ohio. Tis was the beginning o a thirty year religious missionin Ohio.

When enrollment at his school declined, Father Paul was assigned to the Diocese oColumbus where he spent seven years as Superintendant o the Diocese schools andlater as pastor o St. Matthews in Gahanna, Ohio.

When he learned that St. Matthews had a serious mold problem, he was advised todemolish the building and re-build on the site. His eorts to raise money and re-buildled to his recently being honored by having the activity center named or him. Te

Father Paul Noble Center is the location o educational, athletic, ellowship and aithormation activity. What a wonderul recognition o Father Nobles thirty year devotionto his church. He is currently the Director o Vocations or the Diocese o Columbus.

Spring Cleaning - Our record breaking warm temperatures of

March preempted an article on spring cleaning. Alongwith the mild winter, there was no need to wait for snowto melt before starting to pick up the winters debris - not

to mention the pet deposits that have been hidden by thesnow. Many of us were able to rake up the dead leaves in the

shrubs and flower beds. The maintenance department has spreadfresh wood chips around the clubhouse.

Another sign of spring: Wayne County has filled in thepotholes on Silver Spring Drive. This will have to do untilmoney becomes available to fix the road right - likethe stretch by the school. Keep on calling the office of

Wayne County Commissioner Laura Cox; Our contactis Jordyn Salmon at 313-224-0946.

A LAST NOTE:Sandy Nolan was cleaning her kitchencupboards a while back and cameacross an issue of theHighland Lakes Herald.Date:August 1, 1972 - Vol.2 No.12!(Please Keep any comments onhousekeeping to yourself).

WHATS COOKING!

Its Your Turn! We want to hear from YOU!!SHARE YOUR FAVORITE RECIPE WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS:

E-mail your recipe to: Wilma Leonard ([email protected]) or simply drop it in the Herald

box at the clubhouse. Dont forget to sign your name and unit number.

This is a favorite ofSALLY RIGOs family; shes been sharing the rec-ipe for years. Sally suggests its especially good for a pot-luck since

it is best made ahead and cooked the day of serving. Next monthSally will share the secret recipe for Red Lobster cheddar biscuits.

SPAGHETTI PIZZASPAGHETTI PIZZA 1 lb. thin spaghetti 2 eggs 1 c. milk Salt & Pepper

Parmesan Cheese (to taste) 1 jar spaghetti sauce Pepperoni (thinly sliced) 2 c. mozzarella cheese

1. Cook and drain well 1 pound of thin spaghetti.

2. Beat two eggs into 1 cup of milk and mix with spaghetti.3. With a slotted spoon, lift spaghetti mixture so that excess liquid drains off and place ongreased 11 x 18 pan.

4. Salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.5. Top with one large jar of spaghetti sauce. Add thinly sliced pepperoni or meat of your

choice6. Top with 2 cups of mozzarella cheese (I use one cup mozzarella and one cup cheddar.)

7. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes in 350 degree oven. Let set for 5 minutes before serving.

BEV DUDLEYsuggests that if youre using your microwave for only boiling water and warming food,youre missing out on its possibilities. Try this quick, nourishing recipe for egg custard, an old-fashioned

favorite. If you use fat-free or low-fat milk you can cut the calories.

CASSEROLE CUSTARDCASSEROLE CUSTARD 3 eggs 1/4 c sugar 1 tsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt 1 1/2 cups milk

POWER LEVEL: HIGH (10) AND LOW (3) on your microwave.In 1 qt. glass or Corning Ware casserole, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla and saltwith table fork until very well blended and sugar is dissolved. Scald milkin glass measuring cup. Microwave at high (10) 3 to 4 minutes. Graduallyadd to egg mixture stirring well. Cover with casserole lid. Microwave at low (3) 10 to 12 minutes,

rotating dish 1/4 turn every two minutes. Sprinkle with nutmeg or cinnamon before serving.

For individual CUP CUSTARDS: pour mixture into 4 custard cups. Place in a circle on shelf in microwaveand microwave for 10-12 minutes, rearranging after 3 minutes. If some cups are done before others,remove those and continue cooking until all are cooked.

Enjoy!

Sandy Nolan, Board Liaison

Court Captain Committee

The following warning comes straight from the

FBI: Dont Fall for the Jury Duty Scam.

It happens like this...

The phone rings. You pick up and the caller identies

himself as an ofcer of the court. He says that you failed to report

for jury duty and there is a warrant out for your arrest. You say that you never received a

notice. The caller says that hell need some information for verication purposes - your birthdate,

social security number, and perhaps even a credit card number. This is when you should hang up the

phone. It is a scam.

The scams bold simplicity may be what makes it so effective. Facing the threat of arrest, victims

are caught off guard and may be quick to part with some information to defuse the situation. With

enough information, scammers can assume your identity and empty your bank accounts. Protecting

yourself is the key. Never give out personal information when you receive an unsolicited phone call.

I also received a notication from John Werth, Director of Northville Township Department of

Safety. He says that there is good reason to believe that a series of residential break-ins in this area

are being committed by two women, possibly a third person acting as the driver.

Possible suspect vehicles include:

Older model, dark colored (maroon/burgundy) SUV or mini-van

White in color, 4-door car, maybe a Toyota

Silver in color, SUV crossover type

The suspects are driving the area and target homes after the homeowner leaves the residence. Ifconfronted after knocking on the door, the women say they are looking for a cleaning job or a lost

dog. It has been reported that these women have some sort of an accent.

Please be on the lookout for the women and vehicles. Dont hesitate to call 911 if you see anything.
