    Co-Owner ForumTom opened the co-owner forum by stating that some co-

    owners have voiced an opinion about restricting smokingon the Pool Patio, so he agreed to open the discussion atthis meeting.

    Bill Rossow: Bill expressed that he would like to seesmoking banned from the patio. He shared his experienceat this years Pool Opening Party, where he and his familycame early to get a table, and as the party continued, asmoker had occupied a table just 3 feet from him. By thattime, all of the other tables were occupied, so there wasno place for he and his family to move to. Bill expressedthat, although people have a right to smoke, he also hasa right not to have to breathe their second-hand smoke.He said that Highland Lakes has an obligation to providea healthy environment for its residents.

    Bill went on saying that before smoking was banned inrestaurants, consumers had an option to choose a smoke-free restaurant option. Today, if he wants to participatein a community activity / pool event at Highland Lakes,he does not have the same option to go to a smoke-freepatio. He stated that if we continue to allow smoking onthe patio, the minority would be dictating to the majority,since the majority of the population are non-smokers.Bill hopes that Highland Lakes would come into the 21st

    century by banning smoking on the patio.Bill further provided photographs of cigarette butts that

    have littered that patio area.

    Judy OConnor: Judy expressed her agreement withBills position to ban smoking on the patio. She saidthat some feel because it is outside it does not violateanyones space, but this is not the case.

    Tom asked if anyone thinks its a good idea to continueto allow smoking on the patio. 3 co-owners raised theirhands.

    Terry McNally: Terry stated that he is a smoker, and

    has smoked on the patio. However, it would not be aninconvenience for him to step off the patio out to the

    gate to have a cigarette. He is not opposed to banning

    smoking on the patio.Betty Parzych: Expressed support for restricting smoking

    on the patio because of the number of children at thepool.

    Rob Berlin: Stated that he can appreciate both sidesof the argument (former smoker), because hard-coresmokers understand the restrictions of smoking.

    Kathy asked opinions about a designated smoking areaon the property. Bill suggested having one smoke-freeentrance to the clubhouse. Rob and Donna McNallyagreed that this would be a good idea. Joel asked if

    the association has a right to restrict how a co-ownerchooses to live by restricting smoking. Tom answeredthat in the common areas, we already do that (i.e. nosmoking around the pool deck and inside the clubhouse).Kathy thanked everyone for their participation in thediscussion.

    [In closed session following the public meeting, theBoard of Directors voted in favor of banning smokingon the pool patio effective immediately.]

    Tom Werner: Tom emphasized the importance ofsubmitting Engineering Requests on time. He

    explained that for the past couple months, residentshave submitted requests after the deadline, and thencall it an emergency because they dont want to waitfor the next Engineering meeting. All requests mustbe submitted before 3:00 p.m. on the Wednesday priorto the monthly board meeting (See the back cover of theHerald for date). Anything submitted after that time willbe held over to the following months meeting.

    Joe added that the only items that constitute atrue emergency are items that compromise thecondominiums security or access (i.e. a doorwall thatscome off its track, an entry door that wont close, or a handicap

    ramp needed for entry to the unit). Kathy said that she wouldalso address it in the Presidents report this month.

    Maintenance Superintendents Report:See report on page 10

    In addition to his report, Ken stated that hes been inFRPPXQLFDWLRQZLWK(DJOH6LJQV2XUQHZSRVWQLDOtops have been casted. They will be sand-blasted andpowder coated this week. We are still working ongetting the bases. Chairs should also be back from thepowder coater next week.

    Property Managers Report: VerbalJoe reported that, in the most recent car break-ins, the

    thieves were caught and the property was returned tothe owners. However, in every case, the cars that wereburglarized were unlocked, making it an easy target.Please lock your car and secure your belongings.

    The Board recessed at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened forclosed session at 8:45 p.m.

    4. It was brought to the committees attention that there are no toys in the baby pool this year, or toys

    (other than the noodles) for the big pool for children to use for playtime. The committee voted that toysshould be purchased. It was also voted that water guns are only to be allowed during toy time and atthe discretion of the lifeguards.

    5. The committee was also advised that some chairs are falling apart and should be replaced. This will beaddressed at budget time. The broken chairs should be disposed of as necessary.

    of the pool.

    A committee member voiced concern about children dangling feet in pool and splashing swimmers during

    adult swim period. The Head Lifeguard had made decision to allow this. Joe stated that he was aware

    of Chriss decision and agreed with it, particularly in extremely hot weather. There was much discussionDERXWZKHWKHURUQRWWKLVLVDOORZHGLQSRROSROLF\,WZDVGLVFRYHUHGWKDWWKLVLVQRWVSHFLFDOO\PHQWLRQHG

    in policy and is therefore open to interpretation. The committee voted whether to make to following

    recommendation to the board: Children not be allowed to sit on the edge of the pool during adult swim.

    This recommendation was voted down, therefore the issue is being left to the discretion of the Property

    Manager and Head lifeguard. Chris agreed that children will be asked to not splash during this time.

    Our frst Adult Swim Night, Saturday, June 30th, turned out to be a wonderul

    summer evening. Te residents commented that they had a un time andwere looking orward to the next one. It was great to also have many younger

    adults there and enjoying themselves. Te pool was never empty.

    We also had new residents join us, who said they would be back in July. Wetold them about the other events at Highland Lakes and to check the Herald or dates as they would also enjoy

    themselves at those events.

    Te lieguards were absolutely super What a great job they did! We cant sayenough about their assistance and willingness to make everything go well the

    entire evening.

    Tere was a great variety o ood brought by the residents so nobody wenthungry. Te lights that management installed were so appreciated by the

    residents as they were able to navigate on the deck and eat without a mishap.Many thanks to management rom the residents. Also the lights in the pool

    were beautiul.

    Tere was also a wonderul surprise or the residents. Meadowbrook Country Club put on their freworks showand everybody in the pool just stayed there and stood watching them. Residents on the deck came down and stood

    around the pool ence and ooood and ahhhhd. It was an unexpected surprise and thoroughly enjoyed. Te

    Unfortunately, there have been more car break-ins

    in the community. ALL of the break-ins occurred

    when the vehicle doors were unlocked. This should

    serve as a reminder to all of us to remember to lock car

    doors as well as front doors and doorwalls. Criminals and thieves are

    incredibly bold and will strike in broad daylight as well as during night hours.

    Last months column addressed the long-standing parking problems which have plagued Highland

    Lakes. Once again, the Master Deed of Highland Lakes provides only one deeded parking space per

    unit. Currently, we have both single numbered and double numbered courts. Most co-owners are

    under the impression that we have two deeded spaces. This is a difcult issue which has caused much

    conict. However if we could all understand and accept the fact that we are only entitled to one

    spot, then perhaps we could learn to play nice.

    Since we live in such close quarters (literally a shared wall away), we are continually challenged to

    create a co-operative environment. Parking is probably the hottest and most divisive issue in town.

    Each court knows its particular problems. Many courts have managed to come to an agreement and

    live in peace. Others are in a constant state of upheaval over who is parking where. A lot of people

    complain and no one seems to have a solution.

    By the way, a column could have been written forty years ago on this very topic. I know this fora fact because I was here. Highland Lakes has always been a great place to live. Congratulations to

    those of you who have managed to settle your disputes, and best of luck to those of you who are still

    struggling with parking wars!
