HIGHLAND LAKES CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION

PRESIDENTS ANNUAL REPORT
MAY 18, 2015
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 commitment during the past year.

Our Maintenance Department works hard year round. I think all would agree that,
although winter seems to go on forever, our guys do an outstanding job of clearing the snow
and, in the spring, restoring the areas damaged by the snow and salt. Ken Wiewiora continues
to work with Roof One on our roofing project. It is also worth noting that Ken negotiated a
contract with Wide Open West and we have received two payments from them totaling
$69,000. He also oversees all of Highland Lakes' technology and is in the process of updating
both our computer and telephone systems. Thank you, Ken, and your staff for all you do.

Of course, the Association could not operate efficiently without our administrative staff.
Thanks to Joe Poma, our Property Manager, for his continued efforts to maintain a financially
stable Association. His legal knowledge is a real asset and has facilitated the collection. Here
are a few interesting facts:
The high-water mark for the receivables balance was $209,189 in August, 2009. Since
that time receivables has dropped to $54,491 as of April 30, 2015. This is a collections
gain of $154,698 overall.
Since April 30, 2014 (one year), the receivables balance has dropped $43,876
Over the last year, Joe has sent 15 Notices of Intent to file liens or commenced collection
actions that resulted in payment.
Over the last year, Joe has filed 5 liens and releases, most of which have yielded
payment.

Additionally, we are privileged to have such dedicated workers as Sharon Englund,

Bookkeeper, Julie Dykstra, Administrative Assistant, and Guin Eatmon and Cathy Loy,
Secretary Receptionists.

Presidents Annual Report 2015

The following committees play an ongoing role in the quality of life in our community:
Clubhouse, Grounds, Court Liaison, Herald, Lakes Ecology, Pool, Community Social,
Engineering, and Finance.

The RV and Tennis Committees require less time, but also are important, as are
organizations such as the Womens Club, euchre and pinochle groups, and crafters. Thanks to
all of you who assist in projects and activities and devote your time and expertise when
needed. One of the factors that have made Highland Lakes unique among condominium
developments is the participation of the Co-Owners. Over the years we have seen membership
in these committees dwindle, and the Association faces a challenge to encourage new
members to discover the rewards of contributing to the activities in their community.

We must remember our community is 43 years old. We intend to preserve our property
values. The Board of Directors has faced many difficult decisions in our efforts to maintain and
improve our buildings, roads, and grounds.
Thanks to Donna and Terry McNally for serving as Co-Inspectors of the Election this year.

In conclusion, I would like to express my 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. Thank all of you for the privilege of serving on your Board and being a part of this
Association.
Kathy Baldwin, President

Investments have been made in various Bond funds with an eye towards growth while maintaining a
certain level of conservativeness. Balances have been shifted as various economic events have
dictated. These investments will continue to be cashed in as we move through the roofing project.
Our normal investment position after the roofing project is completed would be to have nominal
investments.
I can report that the Board and the Management of Highland Lakes take their fiduciary responsibilities
very seriously. They often spend considerable hours deliberating all Co-Owner points of view before
making a decision on how best to spending your hard earned money.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:

1. Marti Tupper reelected committee chairperson by unanimous acclamation. Joel Lutz appointed ongoing committee secretary.
2. Planning to plant begonias in our traditional flower locations, but not till June as last year the May plantings suffered some cold weather damage.
3. Assignments made for flower areas planting, weeding and watering for this year.
4. 8 Mile Entrance: grass has grown past the plastic edging; weeding is already needed; Pear trees are still just getting
started, next year they should achieve their full potential, Jeff Fidge noted that the type of pear trees planted typically have about a 20 year life; two additional hydrangeas to be added.
5. Discussion of locations for starting a Monarch Waystation. Voted to recommend northwest edge of Swan Harbor
Lake where the broken concrete has been placed to shore up the shoreline.
6. Discussion of request to plant a garden area on common grounds. Co-owner clarified the intent was not necessarily to create a butterfly garden, but to replace an area that has been planted with myrtle. Co-owner willing to
adjust plants to support butterfly habitation. Area for garden is a not walkable steep slope down to lake. Voted to
approve request as a butterfly habitat..
7. Discussion of invasive common buckthorn removal. It has to be removed in its entirety if its progression is to be
stopped on our property.
8. Discussion of replacing the crabapples with Cleveland Pears like those in the 8 Mile entrance on the entrances
islands. To be explored further.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD:
1. Recommend using the northwest shoreline of Swan Harbor Lake along edge with the broken concrete between
the boat storage area and the beach area for a Monarch Waystation.

2. Recommend allowing Co-owner of unit 434 to plant a butterfly garden on common grounds in front of their
unit. Site has already been planted by a previous co-owner with a ground cover type plant, and is a non-walkable slope down to lake.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Recommendation was made that the Heralds need to be delivered as soon as possible to support encourag-

ing co-owners to submit their ballots for the board of Directors election by May 15th. If there are not enough
proxies to create a quorum the process would have to be repeated and this would be an added cost to the
association, and, therefore to us, the co-owners.

2. There is currently a contest among the Highland Lakes committees to see which committee can earn

the most points by donating non-perishable food items, cash, and/or household paper products to the
Northville Civic Concern. There are boxes labeled for each committee in the clubhouse. The winning committee wins a meal prepared by Judy Nakdimen.

3. The Smoke Detector program that we discussed last month will be re-visited at a later date
4. We have not yet replaced the New Neighbors reporter previously held by Diane Pittaway. This was dis-

cussed again briefly. We have still not come up with a viable solution for replacing the column.

5. Joel brought up that since the onset of Thursday night yoga sessions that have been impinging on our meet-

ing time in the Highland Room that maybe we should move our start time to 7:30. That was not popular.
Joe volunteered to set up tables in the main room for us as an alternate to meeting in the library which has
not been a good fit for the size of our committee.

6. The new Security Guards name is Kevin Bouche and he will be working Wednesday Sunday from 6:00

p.m. -2:00 A.M.

7. Joe touched on the subject of certain vehicles that have been compromised within our community and ad-

vised that certain makes and models are the victims of the crime.

8. Joe is still waiting for information in regards to the pedestals for the pet pals in the trash receptacles.

GUESTS PRESENT:

Guy Balok, Board Liaison

Joe Poma, Property Manager

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:

Old Business
1. Boat Storage.
Joe reported that the Board has not made a decision about boat storage as the need and location for boat storage on Crystal Lake has not been determined. It was decided that the recommendation to the Board for boat
storage on the other two lakes should proceed.
2. Advertising for the two-hour fishing seminar provided by Jim Delaney on 5/14 at 6:30 pm with an RSVP
date of 5/12.
Joe reported that the sandwich boards will be utilized to get votes for the annual election and for the Garlic
Mustard weed pull. These were scheduled before the date of the seminar. Joe offered to attach the fliers to
the front of the Herald. There was discussion that the weed pull and fishing seminar could possibly share a
sandwich board.
New Business
1. Acting Chair forgot to send out an agenda prior to the meeting. This might explain the light attendance.
2. Information from inland lakes workshop provided by Anne was discussed.
The booklets from the MSU extension are really nice and cost $25.00. Joe offered to see if we can get some for
free or receive a discount. A lot of the materials on plantings that are healthy for the lakes also attract butterflies and desirable wild life. Joe has some of these materials which can be copied and shared with the grounds
committee. Based on the information available it appears that our lakes are in the late middle age stage of lake
life which ends in a swamp. There are steps that we can begin to take to forestall the aging process but first we
need to do an assessment. Toward that goal, Jim has offered to use materials available to make a map of the
lakes and their surrounding vegetation. Anne has offered to take pictures of the shoreline from the water on
Silver Spring Lake and Swan Harbor Lake.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: The committee recommends that boat storage at Silver Spring Lake
be increased by adding a gravel storage area to the area between the pool and the lake, provided that the material selected will not hurt the boats and locking options are available. It is also recommended that boat storage at
Swan Harbor Lake be increased using the same criteria and located by the dead tree stumps.

With Fathers Day coming up soon, it seemed appropriate to share this recipe
submitted by Gyda Werner of Windsor Ct.

HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND (condensed from an 1800 cookbook)

A good many husbands are utterly spoiled by mismanagement in cooking and so are not tender and good.
Some women keep them constantly in hot water; others let them freeze by their carelessness and indifference. Some keep them in a stew with irritating ways and words. Some wives keep them pickled, while
others waste them shamefully. Husbands can be really delicious when prepared properly .
Make a clear, steady flame of love, warmth and cheerfulness and he will never fly out of the kettle or become burned or crusty.

If he sputters, do not be anxious for some husbands do this until they are quite done. Add a little sugar in
what confectioners call kisses, but use no pepper or vinegar under any circumstances. Do season to taste
with spices, good humor and gaiety preferred.

Seasoning must always be used with great discretion and caution. Avoid sharpness in testing him for tenderness. Stir him gently, lest he lie too flat and close to the kettle and so become useless.
You cannot fail to know when he is done. If so treated, you will find him very digestible, agreeing with you
perfectly. He will keep as long as you choose, unless you become careless and allow the home fires to grow
cold with neglect.
Thus prepared, he will serve a life-time of happiness.

CALLING ALL COOKS!! My backlog of recipes has been depleted! This feature has always received a great
deal of positive feedback. Please share with us some of your favorites.
