HIGHLAND LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT
MAY 16, 2011
The purpose of the annual meeting is to announce the results of our election for the Board of
Directors and provide information concerning the state of the association. It is my privilege to give you
an overview of our community.
It is with a great deal of pride and confidence that, on behalf of the board, I thank and congratulate
our staff for their accomplishments during the past year.
Our Maintenance Department’s hard work and continued efforts are evident as you walk around
the property. Ken Wiewiora, our Maintenance Superintendent, and his staff are real assets. Our thanks
to Mike Francis, (Maintenance Supervisor), Ralph Bilicki and Jason Keranen (Building Maintenance), Kevin
Byars (Sprinklers), Darin Flores (Lawn Foreman), Terry Edwards, Robert George, and Kyle Warren (Lawn
crew), Colin Corcoran (Grounds Foreman), Bruce Clisdal and Earl Smith (Grounds crew). In addition to all
their normal duties last summer, they cleared an area for the community garden. Another major
undertaking was the remodeling of the Highland Room. The room is beautiful. I have heard from
residents that this is a room they would be proud to rent.
The Association could not operate efficiently without our outstanding administrative staff. Joe
Poma, thanks so much for all you have done this year. Joe you have worked with RTA getting the roofs
and attics inspected. Also, you were instrumental in getting the chimneys inspected with Dr. Flue to
assure the safety of Highland Lakes. We are now moving into our roofing project with our contractor,
DA Home Improvement. One other thing I can mention is the amount of money saved as the result of
filing liens and lien dismissals. You have handled filing 17 liens and 7 lien dismissals. By having you
do the filing, we have saved a great deal of money. Thank you. Additionally, we are privileged to have
such dedicated workers as Sharon Englund, Shannon Crowley, Guin Eatmon, and Pam Cohen. Every
aspect of our life in Highland Lakes is touched by them.
In each issue of the Herald you are encouraged to join a committee and help with the extra services
and activities which enrich our community.
If one looks around, it is evident that the Clubhouse Committee deserves our gratitude for the
beautification of the clubhouse. They have updated the appearance of the Highland Room with new
walls, chair rails, lighting including beautiful wall sconces, plus many other improvements. In
cooperation with the Family Social Committee, they sponsor the annual Christmas Decorating Party.
This Committee continues to work at keeping our Clubhouse attractive for our use and desirable for
rental, which financially assists Highland Lakes.
The Court Captain Committee is very successful and is quite informative about safety ideas for the
community. They have been instrumental in getting the Herald to co-owners in a timely fashion. They
also have made certain that all courts have a representative, and assist in collecting necessary co-owner
information for the office. This committee can be proud of how well they are functioning. In addition
to these responsibilities, they have willingly helped deliver some 691 bylaws packets to the co-owners.

Their assistance is invaluable. We could not have done this without their help and dedication. Thank
you each and every one of you.
We are grateful to the Finance Committee, which continually evaluates our expenditures and assists
the Association in preparing the annual budget and maintaining our fiscal stability. Our Treasurer,
Tom Byrne, will be presenting the Annual Financial Report shortly.
The Grounds Committee is a very dedicated group who takes pride in our surroundings and is
continually busy ensuring that Highland Lakes remains beautiful. Each spring the Committee members
are out planting beautiful flowers and spending time to maintain these areas. This is not an easy task,
and we applaud this Committee for their contributions since our grounds provide the first impression
when you drive through Highland Lakes.
Many thanks to the Engineering Committee, who give of their expertise and time to ensure that all
improvements and changes are made properly. The Committee continues to update the modification
forms to keep up with changing times. This Committee is doing a great job since our aging Association
requires an ever-increasing number of changes and upgrades.
We are fortunate to have such an active committee as the Family Social Committee. They do a great
job of putting on parties for the families - Halloween, Easter and Highland Days, etc. These are fun
events and are enjoyed by adults as well as the children.
The Herald Committee is doing a stellar job of publishing an improved newsletter that is both
informative and enjoyable. The Herald is the Association’s method of communication with the residents,
and they and the Administrative staff, particularly Shannon Crowley, deserve a great amount of credit
for all their work. The solicitation of advertisements has increased, which contributes to the costs of
publication.
The Pool Committee has done a superb job by recommending improvement to the pool and patio
area. Since the pool was very busy last year, additional furniture was needed. New tables, chairs,
lounges, and toys have been purchased for this summer to ensure our co-owners have a great place to
spend their leisure time in the sun. Your Pool Committee has also scheduled Hot Dog Daze, night
swims, and other events for this summer; so be sure to read your Herald. The Committee also plans to
sponsor the Adult Christmas Party this year.
The Insurance Committee does a great job of overseeing our insurance needs and works diligently
to keep our insurance costs affordable. This year we negotiated a new contract saving thousands of
dollars. The Committee continually publishes articles and insurance information in the Herald to keep
all residents aware of our insurance responsibilities. The Committee requests that all co-owners read
this information to be aware of which portions of insurance covered by the association, and which are
their personal insurance responsibilities.
The Tennis Committee recently met and is planning to offer lessons to youngsters (7-9yrs old) this
summer. Watch the Herald for information.
The Vision Committee has grown in members and is looking forward to the future for making
improvements in Highland Lakes. It is also working with other committees to accomplish these
12
changes and improvements. The Committee spent a great deal of time accomplishing this and deserves
many thanks from the co-owners. The Committee members were instrumental in picking the roofing
materials and colors for the chimney boxes.
I appointed an Ad Hoc Committee to assist with the bid process for the roofing contractor. I
appreciate all of their time and input.
We have other important committees: RV, Sprinkler, Women’s Club, Card Clubs, etc. These
committees may not be as visible as some of the others, but their contributions are important and should
be applauded.
There are members of the community who assist in projects and activities and who volunteer their
time and expertise for whatever needs to be done. I most likely can’t name everyone, but you know
who you are. Thank you all so much for your volunteerism.
All the people mentioned above spend countless hours doing things to make our lives better. I hope
each of them receives this heartfelt message of appreciation.
Each month you are encouraged to attend the Board meetings to witness the work of the directors
and give suggestions.
Many improvement projects have been completed this year and are very visible. We must
remember that this community is 40 years old, and if we intend to preserve our property values, we
must continue to maintain all of our buildings and grounds so they are attractive to buyers. There are
other improvements that some committees would like to implement, and the Board will continue to
work with them to accomplish these projects while staying within budget and keeping our assessments
affordable.
We would like to invite any co-owner who has an idea for the betterment of Highland Lakes to join
a committee or run for the Board.
Our thanks to Joe Sattler, for accepting the position of Inspector of Election this year; he will be
reporting these results shortly.
In conclusion, my thanks and gratitude to my fellow Board members. Without their dedication and
concern for the welfare of this Association, Highland Lakes would not be what it is. The members of the
Board of Directors are your elected representatives who make the decisions that affect our Association
and the services it provides. We invite all co-owners to attend the monthly Board meetings held in the
Clubhouse on the third Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. Bring your concerns, suggestions, and
questions. With open communication, respect, concern, and cooperation, we can continue to improve
and preserve Highland Lakes as a desirable condominium community.
Thank you all so very much for the privilege of serving on your Board and being a part of this
Association.

Insurance rates. This surplus will continue for the balance of the budget year.
As you can see, Joe Poma and his staff are operating our business with due
fiscal restraint.

able to eliminate this increase in some years.
o It would be better to wait until we get further into the project to consider
that.
 Once the roofing is complete, will we be able to reduce assessments?
o Depends on what we do about siding.

everything was pulled out of this investment except for a token $1500 or so to keep the account open so that we could re-invest any time we wanted to. The initial investment
amount is based on the $1523.05 left in the account as of 5/3/2010 and the $100,000 investment on the same day. The interest to this account is paid into the long-term
checking account for which we have received $1494.60 and when coupled with the current account balance of $101,706.11, we can ascertain what the total account value to
HLCA has been.

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 an
apartment community?
• The federal national mortgage association will not cover a
loan 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’s
issues. They offer us no protection and we are wide open to
conditions caused by the economy.
The Association Board, comprised of our

own residents, is trying to adjust to the
current climate for the betterment
of Highland Lakes.
VOTE “YES” ON THE

AMENDED BYLAWS
PACKAGE.

MAINTENANCE REPORT
TO: Board of Directors, Property Manager, Co-Owners
FROM: Ken Wiewiora - Maintenance Superintendent
RE: Maintenance Report
DATE: May 16, 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: Normal work orders are flowing in for roof and basement water leaks. We have
seen an increase of animal complaints of chipmunks getting into the walls, attics, etc. These are being
addressed when reported. Please spread the word, try not to feed the animals, or leave any type of food
in the back yard areas. Even though many do feed for the nature, this also does attract the nuisance
animals.
2. Pool: The swimming pool mechanical is now open, everything has goon well, and the pool is up to
temperature and will be held to last year’s choice of 84 degrees.
3. Grounds: Grounds cleanup is under way. The lawn crew had a late start mowing this year due to rain;
we are on our second week of mowing. Last week True Green did the weed killer and lawn fertilization.
Also Davey Tree sprayed the crab apple trees. Restoration on dead grass areas will be starting shortly.
4. Tree on building: Two weeks we had a storm take down a 40 foot tall pine tree on to a roof on a condo in
Eddington court. The tree was removed By Davey Tree Co. and the minor shingle damage was repaired
by my maintenance staff.
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: Finance MEETING DATE: April 21, 2011
MEMBERS PRESENT: GUESTS PRESENT:

Joyce Elvy, Chairman Sandy Nolan, Board Liaison
Robert Armstrong, Co-Chairman Earl Smith
Joy Gaskin (Excused - Ralph Downey)
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
A. Financial Report of February and March 2011.

1. That unit 550, previously owned by the association was finally removed as a current asset
and the retained earnings of 9-30-10 was adjusted from $108,056 to $112,712.
2. A member questioned the accuracy of the Herald Income AC 4050. this will be discussed
at the next Herald meeting.
3. Lifeguard advertising expense of $643 was discussed
4. Sandy explained the Northville Collision bill
B. Other Items.
1. Member suggested that future clubhouse projects and renovations be removed from
Operating (AC 6540) and returned to Long Term (AC 3020).
2. There was a general discussion regarding the roof, gutter (etc.) replacement. The
committee would like to review the contract of Phase I, even if preliminary.
3. A member voiced concern over the financial and fragile monetary situation worldwide.
Earlier this year, the committee recommended to the board that we favor Certificate of
Deposits (CDs) based on:
a. The amount invested is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
b. There are no fees or commissions
c. There is no additional time spent on the account and no consequences from
decisions.
The board did not agree and we realize the current rates on CDs are less than 1% and would
not generate much income. However the committee opted for security and protection of
the co-owner’s funds.

That the committee be provided a copy of the roofing contract with DA Home Improvement for review.

A. Rob Berlin distributed drawings of entry doors as discussed at the last meeting. Rob stated
that he would go to the Engineering Committee meeting with the recommendations.
B. The Grounds Committee requested that the Vision Committee design an entrance and
sign for the Russ Fogg Dr. It was noted that there is no money available for this sign and
entrance design but plans and costs estimates can be established so the project can move
forward when money is available. It was also noted that a berm will be designed for the
units overlooking the RV lot. The committee also discussed that they would like to partner
with the Grounds Committee and the Engineering Committee on future decisions relating
to our Master Plan.

COMMITTEE: Tennis MEETING DATE: April 26, 2011
Carol Shields, Chairman Jeff Gladden Judy Nakdimen, Board Liaison
Earl Smith Paula Gladden Michelle Todorov, Board Liaison
Gene Fogel Bruce Hajdyca Kathy Baldwin, Board President
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. This initial meeting of the tennis committee was formed mainly of HLCA tennis players who
have an interest in the usage of the courts.
2. It was suggested by Bruce that we have a sign-up sheet for adult HLCA members that are
interested in playing singles or doubles. This sign-up sheet will be in the clubhouse office to
provide names, phone numbers, etc. of those looking for a game of tennis.
3. Also discussed was beginners tennis lessons for 7-10 year old children of HLCA owners to be
offered Tues. & Wed. mornings in June (21/22 & 28/29) and for July (12/13 & 19/20). Cost of
$10 (4 days), $15 (6 days), or $20 (8 days) will include a racquet & balls for each player. Sign-up
sheet will be in clubhouse office. Lessons will be run by Carol Shields.
4. Also mentioned was the issue of grass clippings and dirt being blown onto the courts whenever
the grass is mowed, sometimes when players are on the courts. The guys with blowers cannot
get onto the courts when they are locked.
5. Two large cracks on the tennis courts are in need of repair before they become a tripping hazard
6. Concern was expressed of non-co-owners coming on the courts when co-owners are playing.
A lock that could be used either inside or outside would keep those out that do not have keys.
Another concern is not having a key when you want to play, sometimes before the office opens
or after it closes or more than once a day –it is very inconvenient for players that use the courts
a lot. Could there be a key checkout list and more keys available.
ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD:
1. Install nets on the court
2. Approve usage of courts for lessons
3. Ask if grass can be mowed away from courts
5. Consider a more user-friendly key system
MODIFIED RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD (Modified based on board discussion 5/16/11):

1. Install nets on the court AlreAdy done
2. Approve usage of courts for lessons for Highland Lakes Residents and their children only.
3. Ask if grass can be mowed away from courts Ken will instruct mAintenAnce to complete.
5. Consider a more user-friendly key system. Provide Chair of the Tennis Committee a key.

appreciation to Highland Lakes resident Sally Rigo who helps maintain the Clubhouse Kitchen on
an ongoing basis and recently cleaned and organized it thoroughly. Sally’s effort is a wonderful
example of how much difference one person can make. Thank you, Sally!
2. CLUBHOUSE MAINTENANCE: It was suggested to the Clubhouse Committee to re-paint the
Hallway which extends from the back entrance to the Kitchen as well as improve the décor of the
Billiard Room. The Committee recognized these comments and will take them into consideration
when making recommendations for future renovations. A sub-committee was established to
begin researching paint colors for the other areas in the Clubhouse that will complement the
colors in the Highland Room.
3. HIGHLAND ROOM RENOVATION: The Committee was thrilled to have their first meeting in
the Highland Room since the beginning of its renovations earlier this year. There is more work

for budget request purposes.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Planting Schedule:
Members volunteered to plant in various flower beds throughout our community. It was decided
to plant pink and red begonias throughout all flower beds for continuity. Planting will begin after
the danger of frost is gone.
2. New business:
A. Robert Armstrong will plant ornamental grass around the water fountain utility box on
Crystal Lake.
B. It was decided to recommend the removal of the concrete slab at the north end of the
clubhouse to the Board. The concrete will be removed in house. Grass will be seeded in
the area and wood chips will be placed around the tree.
C. As a group we had a discussion about the landscaping berm area at the east end of the
RV lot. Residents in that area were surveyed. They would like some fast growing fir trees
planted instead of a fence. Plymouth Nursery was called in to make a bid on the project.
Joe Poma will bring Bid information to next month’s meeting and the Grounds members
will take a vote on it.
D. A discussion was held as to whether we need to create a boat rack on Crystal Lake. It was
decided that since there are fewer than 7 boats, no boat rack was needed. Owners with
boats that are on the grass will be contacted. All boats must have a current year sticker by
June 1st. The stickers are only $5 for the year. If a boat gets confiscated due to no sticker,
it will cost the owner $75 to reclaim it.
3. Other business:
Maureen Osiecki brought up the subject of a sign at the entrance of Russ Fogg Drive. She asked if
a plan for the sign would be accepted from the Vision Committee by the Grounds Committee. The
Grounds Committee agreed to receive the plan and study it for future consideration.

Removal of the concrete slab at the north end of the clubhouse and grass seed be planted in the area.
Mulch would be placed around the tree.

SUbJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. The meeting began at 7:00 P.M. The evening started with discussion regarding children playing
in the parking lots and whether or not we should attempt to discourage this potential dangerous
activity. We will address this further at a later date.
2. Not enough votes for the new by-laws were received by the due date and the Board of Directors will
be sending out another letter to residents encouraging them to vote. Robert suggested a “Town Hall
Meeting” forum might be a way to increase awareness. Kathy informed us that once the pool opens
she will address the issue with residents that are in attendance.
3. Diane Pittaway mentioned that she is behind with her new resident “Welcome” interviews due to
scheduling and bad weather. She will have new info ready for the next issue of the “Herald”
4. Robert shared an article from the Northville Record regarding a parking incident that required police
involvement recently. Parking issues are one of the main reasons for contention among residents.
We will be examining this looking for solutions that work for everyone.
5. Kathy Baldwin brought an 18 gallon bucket to the meeting that will be used for a “pilot” program
in our dumpsters in an attempt to clean up loose trash, pet waste, etc. it will be placed inside the
dumpster, suspended in a corner. It will have drainage holes to prevent water retention. Promotion
of this program will be in the next “Herald”. Several courts will be selected for the initial trial to see
if this will work.
6. It was noted that Northville Twp. Has a pet leash ordinance. Many pet owners do not follow the
ordinance. Residents are encouraged to keep their pets on leashes for everyone’s benefit.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE bOARD:

No recommendations to the board.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
The committee met with new head lifeguard, Lauren Duda and returning lifeguard, Lindsay
P’Simer.
The committee purchased an umbrella for the Baby Pool which will be put in the corner
and provide enough shade to cover almost the entire pool. This will be more sturdy than
previous umbrellas purchased.
This year there will be a notice posted for no beach balls and no footballs in the pool. Joy is
shopping for safe toy ideas. Additional noodles have been purchased.
Our new boiler is installed and will keep the pool between 84°-86°. It has been tested and is
working very well. It will cost less to operate than the old boiler and heats the pool faster. It
will automatically shut off at 85° so the pool doesn't get too hot.

We are all encouraged to pick up
and dispose of any trash we may
see littering the community grounds. Generally
speaking, this is the considerate thing to do to maintain
our property. However, there is one BIG EXCEPTION.
If you see a bottle of any kind in a standing position, do NoT Touch. It has been reported
by the police that individuals using common household chemicals are creating “bottle bombs.”
When the bottles are picked up or shaken, the chemicals mix and cause explosive conditions.
If you see a bottle sitting on the sidewalk or grass in an upright position and it looks “out of
place,” or you have any doubts at all, call the police. They’ll check it out. Of course, alert your
children to the possible danger of picking up any stray bottles.
On another note, Northville Township has a survey concerning the development of the Seven
Mile property at the site of the former Northville Psychiatric Hospital. Simply go online to
www.twp.northville.mi.us on click on 7 Mile Property Master Plan Survey and vote your
opinions on how the land should be developed. I took the survey and found it very interesting.
The questions are multiple choice and there is a place where you can enter comments if you
wish. At the end of the survey, you’re given a chance to enter a drawing to win a $50.00 gift
certificate to Deadwood Grill.
Here’s your chance to voice your opinions and preferences concerning an area of the Township
which is very close to us and which will certainly impact our community
