HIGHLAND LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING MINUTES - June 20, 2011

The monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of Highland Lakes Condominium Association was on the 20th day of June,

2011, in accordance with the By-Laws of the Association.

President Kathy Baldwin called the June 20, 2011 regular meeting of the Board of Directors to order at 7:30 p.m.

Attendance

The following Directors were present: Kathy Baldwin, Tom Byrne, Kathleen Connor, Sandy Nolan, Clem Tulley and Judy

Nakdimen. (Michelle Todorov was excused). Also present were Joe Poma, Property Manager, Ken Wiewiora, Maintenance

Superintendent, and Shannon Crowley, Administrative Assistant. Approximately 18 Co-Owners were also present.

Finance Committee Report: See report on page 16 Joyce Elvy reported to the Board. In addition to the

written report, Joyce asked that all committees begin

compiling their wish-lists for the Finance Committee toconsider when they begin the budget process in July.

She will arrange a time to meet with each committee.

Board Action: Motion by Sandy Nolan, support by

Kathleen Connor, to accept the Finance Committee

Report dated May 19, 2011. All in favor. Motion

passed.

Vision Committee Report: See report on pages 14-15 Rob Berlin reported to the Board.

Board Action: Motion by Judy Nakdimen, support by

Sandy Nolan, to accept the Vision Committee Reports

dated May 25, 2011 and June 15, 2011 and accept their

recommendations. All in favor. Motion passed.

Additional Discussion: Joe reported that the

recommendation that he consult with DA Home

Improvement and RTA had already been completed.

He explained that the removal of the gutters on the

Canterbury units was discretionary and could be changed

without board vote. Also the trim on the bay windows

could be reduced to the original size without board vote.

These two modications have already been given to thecontractor. However, to reduce the size of the trim on

the Glasgow units from 6” to 4” would require a board vote as the original spec that had been approved by the

board called for 6”. Joe added that both DA and RTA

had strongly advised against reducing the trim any smaller

than 4”.

Rob asked why they couldn’t run the ashing behind thesiding and then install a 3” board (as is being done with

the Dundee units). Ken explained that because of the

design of the Glasgow, if they install the ashing under

the siding it would run into nails heads and would not

work. Tom added that the Dundee was originally designed

to allow the ashing to be installed in that way, but inthe Glasgow it would have to be retrot, which wouldcompromise the siding, and you run the risk of removing

the siding all the way to the roof and have to re-side theentire the building.

Board Action: Motion by Tom Byrne, support by Sandy

Nolan, to make an amendment to the original spec

for the roong project to reduce the board size on theGlasgow units from 6” to 4”. All in favor. Motion

passed.

Additional Discussion: Rob asked Joe if he had discussed

with DA some of the other concerns (picking up debris

etc.) during the construction. Joe said he had, and in

particular he asked them to nd a solution so that blown-

in insulation would leak through the open softs andoutside of the units to ower beds etc. He explainedthat this will be remedied by installing a cardboard sheet

throughout the eaves while the insulation is being blown

so that it cannot escape through the softs.

Court Captain Committee Report: See page 17 Robert Armstrong reported to the Board.

Board Discussion: Kathleen expressed her concern

that Lehigh Lane and Swan Harbor was not included

in the areas for the installation of the Pet Pails. Robert

explained that they are being installed in random

courts to test their effectiveness. If they do work tohelp the situation, they will be installed in more areas.

Kathy added that the list in the Court Captain report

was compiled based on the suggestions of those who

were in attendance at the June 2nd meeting. However,

there were enough pails purchased to accommodate

Kathleen’s request. She asked Kathleen to provide Joe

with a list of the courts she felt were overlooked.

Maureen Osiecki asked for clarication of what was being

done with the contents of the Pet Pails once the pails

are lled. Kathy explained that the waste management

company will be able to unhook the pails and dump thecontents into the dumpsters instead of having to pick up individual bags on the ground of the dumpster area.Maureen asked if the waste management company hadagreed to make that extra effort. Ken answered that they had agreed to cooperate with us in emptying the pails.

Tomexplained that the glass around those doors is currently the only glass in the building that is not insulated glass.

Board Action: Motion by Kathleen Connor, supportby Clem Tulley to accept the Clubhouse CommitteeReport as printed dated June 6, 2011 with theirrecommendations. All in favor. Motion passed.

Grounds Committee Report: See report on page 19 Ray Parzych reported to the Board.

$7900. Joe explained that he’s working on getting athird bid, but no one has responded as of yet.

Ken answered that there must be a guardon deck for every 75 people in the pool. Tom asked why Chris was offering lessons after hours. Joe answered thatit was to accommodate different resident’s schedulesand availability. Kathy asked how many residents hadsigned up for the late lessons. After referring to the signup list, Joe reported that 3 residents signed up for thenight classes. There was some discussion as to whetheror not it was practical to pay 2 lifeguards to stay for anadditional hour to teach a class of three people. Aftermuch discussion it was decided to discontinue the nightclass sessions.

Sandy also questioned the recommendation in the minutesthat called for allowing children up to age 5 to go inthe locker room with their parent. She stated that sheremembered at the meeting that it was decided to be age4. Kathleen explained that “up to age 5” would mean

Co-Owner Forum

Joel Lutz: Joel explained that he owns a .Falstaff unit,and his facia boards are colored to match his siding..He expressed concern that during the roong projectthe facia boards would be changed to white instead of colored to match the siding. He noted that on Savoy Court where a Falstaff unit has been completed, thecolored facia board has been replaced with a white faciaboard and that the white facia board is larger than theoriginal. Joe answered that the spec calls for white andcalls for a 6” board. (The original board was 4”). Tomagreed that it was reasonable to keep the board the samecolor it always has been, but wasn’t necessary at this

meeting to decide what material to use for the board(ie aluminum wrapped wood). or to decide the widthbecause he felt Joe needed to explore it more with thecontractors and nd out what is available. Tom statedthat it was unreasonable to change the architectural look of the outside of the unit. He directed Joe to see whatcould be done to make the board the same color as thesiding.

Jesse Roe: Jesse introduced himself as a co-owner anda fth grade educator at Silver Springs Elementary School. Jesse wanted to take the opportunity to thank the board and particularly Joe for allowing his class tocome to the property for a Lakes Ecology eld trip. Helooks forward for the opportunity to do it again nextyear. Kathy asked Jesse to explain more of what theclass found on the property. Jesse explained that they were studying metamorphosis, so they took samplesof dragony and mayy nymphs. They also learnedabout erosion control and surface water runoffs. Jessesaid it was a great hands-on learning experience for thechildren and they said it was one of their favorite days

of school.Maureen Osiecki: Maureen commented that she

appreciated the age limit for children in the locker rooms,and added that she had forgotten that the clubhouseprovides a private family restroom for parents withchildren. She suggested that reference to the family restroom be included in the pool committee minutes.Kathleen agreed to add it to the report.



Why should you vote

for the amended bylaWs?

What if...• An investment company buys a bulk number of our

condominiums, and Highland Lakes slowly becomes anapartment community?

•The federal national mortgage association will not cover aloan here because we have not met all of the requirements?

• Residents can waste heat and water, keeping doors and windows open all year so that the dog can enjoy the sunshine?

• Resolution of any matter becomes difficult because the present documents are vague or overbroad?

The current bylaws are out of date and do not reflect today’sissues. They offer us no protection and we are wide open to

conditions caused by the economy.

The Association Board, comprised of ourown residents, is trying to adjust to the

current climate for the betterment

of Highland Lakes.

vote “yes” on the

amended bylaWs

package.



MANAGEMENT REPORT

TO: Board of Directors, Co-OwnersFROM: Joe Poma, Property Manager

RE: Property Manager’s ReportDATE: June 20, 2011

1. Our community rules and regulations are very general, but even if they were somewhat more specic as to the common

things that annoy us on a day to day basis, many people have forgotten one unwritten word: courtesy. We live in acondominium community and have come to accept the fact that our homes are attached and things are in close proximity.

Everything that you do has some sort of effect on your neighbor and as long as your conduct is reasonable, it doesn’t bother

anybody. Planting owers, tending to your garden, walking the dog, using the amenities and enjoying Highland Lakes is

part of the living experience here. Feeding ducks, geese, birds, not picking up after your pet, slamming doors and cabinets,

shouting, using parking spaces other than your own, or a wide variety of other things has an effect on your neighbor,

whether good or bad. If your neighbor does not pick up after their pet, then they will not be upset when you don’t. If your

neighbor came from a war zone, the noise may not bother them as much and if your neighbor has a mess of a patio, nobody

will care if you do not clean. If your neighbor has a reasonable lifestyle and cares about their surroundings, they may move

out if you do not. If it happens in several locations, it will establish an area trend and the entire property will go downhill.

It does not happen overnight, but you come to realize that each of the 691 units here affects your home values. For those of

you that have been told that there is a problem, and are not used to condominium living, let the standard of a “reasonablerequest” be your guideline. Pick up after your pet, pull the weeds, respect other residents’ property, clean the patio, try to

be quieter during the evening hours, register your boat, complete your census forms, communicate and if you have some

free time, take part in the community. If you do not have any time, just enjoy Highland Lakes and let us take care of the rest,

but by all means, be a good neighbor and a be bright spot in your courtyard.

2. Those of you that have not voted for the bylaws amendments will be notied by a letter and a ballot will be enclosed. We

have 55% of the ballots returned. I am not asking for a yes or no, but rather, your vote. The bylaws amendments question

cannot be answered unless we have the required number of residents that have voted. The bylaws votes are being counted

by me, stored in my locked ofce. The staff will only know the way you voted if you hand the ballot to the front desk in an

open envelope. Otherwise, your vote is condential and I am the only one that knows how any particular resident voted.

Like the chimney inspections, I am just as anxious as you are to get this out of the way and move on.

3. As you can see, our roong project is off to a good start. If you want to see an example of a nished building, check out the

west end of Savoy Court. It will give you an idea of the shingle color, chimney box and cap colors, new gutters and the new

Glasgow porch styling. DA Home Improvement has been very cooperative with residents and has generally adhered to

the care and clean-up practices that we are looking for. There will always be some things such as a at tire here and there, a

torn screen or some leftover material in the yard, not because they are careless, but because people make mistakes and have

to be reminded. DA has never failed to reimburse or respond to the concerns of any resident, and that is why we chose the

company. As we move forward, any inconvenience will be overtaken by the increased value to the property, which leads

me to the next line-item below.

4. Concrete and asphalt will be starting soon. Cars will have to be moved as usual, as heavy equipment tears up sidewalks and

parking lots. This is the last big year for concrete and asphalt before we concentrate on the roong. Routine maintenance

of the lots will continue as the roong progresses, but the property will be a busy and crowded place this season while wehave both the roofers and the pavement contractors on site at once.

5. Please remember to purchase a boat sticker at the front desk if you have a watercraft on one of the lakes. Also, boats that are

kept on Crystal Lake should indeed be kept “on” Crystal Lake. Boats that are stored on the shore destroy the grass beneath

them and make for an untidy landscape. If you will be gone on an extended vacation, don’t forget about the boat. I have

had a few people leave before the registrations are up for renewal and return to nd their boat conscated and sold.

6. The pool is open and this year’s team is offering water aerobics and swim lessons. If it gets hot outside, come and join us at

the pool. Otherwise, just have a great summer.

Joe Poma, Property Manager



MAINTENANCE REPORTTO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners

FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent

RE: Maintenance Report

DATE: June 20, 2011

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.

Let’s all step-up to keep our community clean, & please report trash violators to the clubhouse.

1. Unit / Building repair: Work orders for building leaks, from the past month rain fall, have been comingin at a steady pace. The rain fall generated in excess of 45 building leaks the following Monday. Most

were basement wall rod-hole leaks or cracks. We are in the process of making those repairs. Additionallywe have received many work order requests for gutter repairs, due to over owing gutters. What wehave found is that many gutters were not plugged; the rainfall was just too much for the gutter to handle.Note we had close to 7 inches of rain in a 24 hour period in Northville.

2. Grounds: Lawn mowing was quite a task with all of the rain that Mother Nature provided us, only twoweeks after the rst lawn fertilizer application was done. We were over two weeks behind in mowing,due to three major factors, 1- rain out days, 2- having to mow 6 to 10 inches of grass, and 3- equipmentbreak downs. As of today, we are all caught up with our weekly round of mowing. Starting this weekwe will be doing the lawn edging.

3. Catch Basin: As of today, we have 4 catch basins which have failed, and require rebuilding. One was

repaired last week. The next two will be started once the roong project is completed. Additionallythere is one basin on Silver Spring, and One on Russ Fogg Drive, that are owned by the county.

4. Boats: Please remember to register your boats, also keep a look out for your neighbor and remind them

to. We will start tagging boats this week, and within two weeks start to pick up unregistered boats.

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.

Thank You,Ken Wiewiora, HLCA Maintenance Superintendent

COMMITTEE: Clubhouse MEETING DATE: June 6, 2011

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:

1. Election of Chairperson. Judy O’Connor was elected Chairperson and conducted the rest of themeeting.

2. Paint Colors. Members considered a number of paint samples and decided to recommend thatthe hallway be painted the existing color with white trim.

3. Budget. A Budget Request for 2011-2012 was approved.

4. Highland Room. It was a pleasure to meet in the beautiful new room. The Association hasbeneted from the volunteer services of a number of residents. The Committee would like toexpress their appreciation to Rob Berlin and Ilio Alessandri for the original design concept,Ilio especially for his detailed professional drawings, and Brad Todorov and Jayson Oliver forrewiring the room. In addition, the HLCA crew who worked on the room did a great job. Thanksto all.

A search of Clubhouse Committee minutes dating back to 1992 reveals only one Increase inthe cost to rent the Highland Room. The rate was increased $5.00 for an afternoon rental and

$10.00 for evening in 2006. Although a review of similar area facilities indicates our rate isextremely reasonable, it was decided not to ask for an increase at this time. However, membersare concerned that many residents may not be aware of the kind of facility available to them andwould like to feature the Clubhouse and rental rates in the next issue of the Herald.

5. Future Improvements. A number of items were discussed and three projects were identied ashaving priority: installation of a projector and sound system in the Highland Room, replacementof locking devices for doors across from Kitchen, and installation of insulated glass in doorsacross from Kitchen.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD:

In the budget process for 2011-2012, consider the following:

1. Install a projector and sound system in the Highland Room at an estimated cost of $2,500.

2. Remove existing exit locking devices from doors across from Kitchen. Install new devices and adjustfor Clubhouse key. Estimated labor and materials $2,900.

3. Replace glass in and around door across from Kitchen with Clear Temp insulated glass. Estimatedlabor and materials $2,900.

Sandy Nolan, Board Liaison

Court Captain Committee

Hi everyone! Summer’s nally here and we’re more than ready to enjoy the season after

the long snowy winter. The following is a review of the tips we all need to remember to

insure a safe and happy summer.

Summer Safety tipS

As the warm weather approaches, the Northville Twp. Police

Department wants to remind you of some tips to keep yourself

and your home safe during the summer months.

• Keep doors locked at all times. If you are working in the back yard, keep your front door and

garage door closed and locked; and lock your back door when you are in the front yard. Always

lock your doors when you leave, even if you only plan to be gone for a few minutes.

• During the Summer weather, many people open windows or sliding glass doors while they are

at home. Always remember to close and lock your windows and sliding doors when you go to

bed or leave the house.

• Install motion-activated lights in your front and back yards, so when someone approaches your

home, the lights automatically come on, illuminating that person.

• Put all ladders and other tools back into a secure storage area after you use them. Ladders and

other tools can be used by criminals to access your home. Always lock any storage unit or shed

you have on your property.

• Be aware of home improvement scams. If you did not solicit the contractor or salesman whoshows up at your door unannounced, do not do business with that person.

• If a utility representative comes to your house, request identication. True representatives will

carry their identication and they will gladly show it to you. Call their company for verication.

• Always remember to roll up your car windows, take any valuables out of your car, and lock your

doors every time you exit your vehicle, even if your vehicle is parked in your driveway.

Being a good neighbor can be one of the best crime prevention tools. Watchful, attentive neighbors

can spot criminals and alert the police and the community to their presence. Get involved in your

community, and help keep your Summer happy and safe.

Curfew violations will occur as the weather warms. Children under the age of 12 and unsupervised are

prohibited from being out in public from 10pm to 6am. For children under the age 17 the prohibited

hours are from 12am to 6am.
