the projects level of success.
Joe commented that there are two areas where they
repaired the seawall last year that are overtaken by crab
grass. He is going to have the maintenance staff remove
it down to bare soil, so that the application of eco-grass
seed is easy. Kathleen asked if the Ecology Committee
could also plant eco-grass down by Swan Harbour beach.
Cathy commented that along with the seawall areas there
will be some applied to the Swan Harbour beach area and
in another undisclosed area to see if residents notice a
difference between our grass and the eco-grass. Guy asked
if the eco-grass grows slower. Cathy replied that it does
grow slower, does not need much mowing, and also does
not need to be fertilized which will help in lowering the
growth rate of the weeds around and in the lakes.

Board Action: Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by


Peggy Zonca, to approve the Ecology Committee report of
September 13, 2016 and the recommendation to fund the
Lakes Ecology course for any member who wants to take

area for eco-grass planting. All in favor. Motion Passed.
Motion by Michelle Todorov, support by Kathy Baldwin,
to recommend hiring Davey Tree to eliminate Buckthorn
not to exceed $6,800. All in favor. Motion Passed.

Peggy asked how many people are looking to take the


course mentioned in recommendation #1. Cathy replied
that only two Committee members expressed interest and
is asking for funding through the Associations education
budget. Guy asked Joe how much money was allocated
to both the education budget and the forest restoration
budget. Joe commented that the education budget is $1,200
which is all-inclusive for every course that could pop up
throughout the year. There was a contingent of $10,000
placed in long-term for forest restoration which requires
Board approval for any use. Guy asked Cathy how much
she is actually asking for since she mentioned not using
some of the funds until Spring. She replied $7,000 and
if it isnt all used she will come back in the Spring to ask
for the remaining amount for any new Buckthorn growth.
She is confident that Davey Tree will give them the most
for their money. Michelle asked if the $7,000 just covers
the area between the Serenity Garden and the beach at
Silver Spring Lake. Cathy replied yes. It is a big job to get
rid of the Buckthorn and the dumping fees are high since
it is an invasive species which requires the Buckthorn to
be dumped in a class two landfill so it does not spread.

Co-Owner Forum:
Joe mentioned that there is no increase in assessments
this year. The cost of living is rising, but assessments
staying the same is a testament that the Association is
running a very efficient company. A lot of contracts were
up this year so the Board was able to take advantage of
the contractual negotiations to keep everything steady.
All of this information will be in the Budget Booklets,
which along with the payment coupons, will be in the
mail within the next four or five days.
A resident expressed concern about the Buckthorn
removal causing harm to the plants in the Serenity Garden.
Cathy Watkins commented that the chemicals used are
placed directly on the Buckthorn stalk and should not
affect the plants. Guy commented that if there is a mistake
the Board will make sure it corrected.
A resident wanted to thank Stan Roberson for the
Serenity Garden and for making it a beautiful area for
our community to enjoy. He also commented that the
water level in Swan Lake has gone down about three feet.
Everyone is saying that it is due to the dry, hot summer, but
the other two lakes are only marginally down compared
to Swan Lake. He is also concerned over the large weed
growth and the amount of debris around the shoreline.
Joe explained that Silver Spring Lake has a well pump that
replenishes the water at the rate of 8.8 million gallons per
month. The water flows from Silver Spring Lake through

A resident asked if it will just be Buckthorn removed.


Cathy replied that fallen trees, invasive trees, poison oak,
poison ivy, vines that are choking the trees, and garlic
mustard will also be removed.
Guy asked if they needed permits since that particular

will probably continue through late November.
Board Action: Motion by Kathy Baldwin, support by
Sandy Nolan, to approve the Property Management report
of September 19, 2016. All in favor. Motion passed. The
Meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

A resident agreed that the debris needs removal.


Residents used to volunteer to clean up but now there is
a lack of volunteers which she would like to see corrected
somehow. Joe replied that the association used to hire
a company to remove the debris in the alcove by the
Serenity Garden. This is now being done in-house which
is saving the Association a couple thousand dollars a year,
but the debris replenishes itself throughout the summer
months so it is continuous work.
A resident voiced concern over junk trees that are sprouting
up in many places by her condominium building and the
waters edge. The resident showed a picture of the invasive
tree to Michelle who identified them as Tree of Heaven.
These particular trees must be cut down and their stumps
treated or they will just regrow and spread. Cathy Watkins
commented that her sister is licensed in removal of the
invasive species.
The same resident also commented that her parking lot
needs sweeping since there is a lot of loose concrete and
asphalt and that a weeping willow tree located behind the
two buildings on Malvern Ct. has many dead limbs that
need removal. Michelle recommended that the resident
put work orders in to the front desk so maintenance can
look into her concerns. Ann asked if the parking lots are
ever washed. Joe replied that maintenance does street
sweep the parking lots. Guy commented that all the courts
were evaluated over the summer and core samples were
taken. There is a priority list to resurface all the courts
and asphalt but that is in the five-year plan. Ann asked
if the curbs are being replaced. Joe said yes, if they need
replacing they will be.
A resident asked about the outcome of the Boards driving
tour of the property. Michelle commented that the Board
along with one member of each committee went on a
driving tour that took about two hours. They looked
at the Serenity Garden, the woods that were discussed
tonight, stopped and looked at the siding of the buildings,
admired the roofing, and at the asphalt that is in the fiveyear plan. They were just trying to share an understanding
so that when they meet they are all on the same page. The
resident voiced concern over signs in windows. Michelle
commented that each unit is permitted one for sale sign.
Joe commented that all violations that were seen and
pointed out have been addressed.

RE: Property Managers Report


DATE: September 19, 2016

1. Trash Collection: By now, the residents are aware that we hired a new trash disposal company and we are in the

process of educating them on our policies and trying to achieve the level of service that we are accustomed to. Our
trash corrals look better than having a dumpster in the middle of a courtyard, but they are also open to the elements and the animals that like to rip bags open. Some of it cannot be helped and our waste hauler is shoveling
out the corrals when needed, but the other issue is some of the people that are using the corrals. Im sure that you
have seen the amount of loose trash that accumulates in the enclosure. After several days, it starts to smell and
attract rodents and people dont give a second thought to throwing out a loose cup, bag from McDonalds, loose
diapers or some other item that should be bagged. The very same residents will then call the clubhouse and complain about how unsightly the trash area looks or place constant requests for pest control with the front desk. We
need to address this collectively as neighbors of a given courtyard and take responsibility for the way our corrals
look. I am restating below some of our trash guidelines, so that we can overcome a problem that has faced us over
the years. In an effort to reduce the amount of loose trash, Advanced Disposal has installed a covered curb-cart in
each corral that is to be used solely for loose trash and pet waste. All other bagged trash may be placed in the corral itself, but we need your cooperation in using the curb cart and also preventing it from tipping over or otherwise
having the trash disposal policies violated by anyone who doesnt care. If we all work together on this, since it is
our neighborhood, we can make each courtyard look good and keep our disposal costs down for the good of all
residents. Finally, although we have to keep the below rules in mind, I am aware that some of this rests with the
trash hauler and I have yet to be fully satisfied with the level of service we are receiving. Its a new contract and
they are learning, but the initial conditions of the corrals and the amount left behind was unacceptable and I will
be monitoring this going forward. Our options will remain open if we feel that the contract is not being adhered
to.

Place all trash in a trash bag, not in small individual grocery bags.
Do not throw loose fast food containers or cups in the enclosure; including pizza
boxes. These go in the curb carts.
Paint cans must be placed on the top rim of the enclosure, with lid opened and dried
out.
Garden mulch, grass, plants, etc. must be placed in paper mulch bags (during the
appropriate season for pick up), not plastic garbage bags (they will not pick them
up). Mulch bags come in packages of 5 at Home Depot for about $1.75.
Appliances, television sets, computers, furniture, etc. must be placed alongside the
enclosure, not in it. The same is true for hot water tanks, washers, dryers, and
things that you would not ordinarily want to see outside of a dumpster. It is easier
on the contractors to pick them up from outside, because there is no truck to dump
the whole thing. Renovation or construction material must be placed alongside the
corral with nails and screws removed and cut to 3 ft. lengths. DO NOT dispose of
trim-work in garbage bags, because you cant see the nails. Carpeting must be cut
to 3 ft. lengths and tied. Contractors must haul away their own trash.
Courtesy: The trash corrals are emptied every Tuesday and Friday. If you are
disposing of large items such as furniture, place it out there on Sunday night or
Wednesday night, so the neighbors do not have to look at it for several days.
When disposing of pet waste or any bag for that matter, walk up to the corral and
place it in; do not stand 10 feet away and throw it. It will not land where you want it
to, especially in the case of pet waste which needs to go into the curb cart.

2. Roofing: As of September 8th, our roofing company was working on the 13th building of the final phase of the

project, which includes 18 buildings total. We are track to complete the project by the end of the calendar year.

3. Entry of Units: The bylaws of the Association grant access to every condominium to make needed repairs. If

these repairs are crucial or of an emergency nature, the Association may gain access by any means. The right to
enter the condominium needs to be based on a reasonable need; that which the general public would objectively
think was necessary and what we would believe is a necessary reason subjectively speaking. Highland Lakes maintains a locked key box in our office and most of the residents keep duplicate keys at the office so that they may gain
access if they lock their keys in the unit or if we need to enter the unit to make repairs. If we need to gain access
to the unit for any other reason than an immediate emergency (i.e. pipe burst, fire, medical welfare check), we will
first contact the unit owner and request permission to enter. Most of the time, we are able to make appointments
and the resident can either be home, or advise the maintenance staff that they can enter in their absence. Unless the resident authorizes it, no contractor will enter the unit without being accompanied by a member of the
HLCA staff. The confusion arises when there is a needed repair, but it is not an imminent emergency. The most
common of these repairs is a gas meter replacement. In that case, Highland Lakes calls the residents of a given
building and tells them what day Consumers Energy will be on the property and we have little control over their
scheduling. The entry to the unit is mandatory, because when the gas meters are disconnected, all of the pilot
lights in the building for furnaces and hot water tanks are extinguished. When the new meter is installed and the
gas is turned back on, the appliances must be re-lit immediately following because gas is being piped to an appliance without a burning pilot light. Modern furnaces and hot water tanks have electronic ignitions and many
have done away with the standing pilot light configuration, but the older models still require manual lighting and
although there is a safety valve on the appliance that shuts off the gas flow when the pilot light is extinguished,
they are not always functional. Therefore, we may not rely on a 40+ year old safety device and Consumers Energy
will not turn on a gas meter if they cannot enter every unit and manually light or check the pilot assembly. Most
residents comply with our need to enter and understand the reason for the inconvenience. There are a few that do
not have a key on file, will not let anyone in their unit, or for some other reason refuse entry to the technician and
our staff at a crucial time. In this instance, the bylaws will allow us to drill a lock if we have to. We have not done
that yet, and we make every effort to work around a residents schedule, but the fact of the matter is that a refusal
by one resident to gain access for this purpose prevents the entire building from having hot water or heat for hours
or even days, over and above the fact that a failed safety valve can let natural gas enter a unit without a pilot light,
build up and explode. As our buildings age, this will become more of a problem. We have replaced 4-5 gas meters
this year and have 92 buildings; periodically, we will need the cooperation of all residents when this happens. If
the need to enter the unit is not based on the above scenarios, any entry would be unlawful, so we do not unilaterally make these decisions or fail to make into consideration the facts surrounding the repair, but residents also
need to be conscious that this is a condominium community with several units per building, attached and serviced
by common meters, wiring, piping and other common elements. What you do or fail to do affects your neighbors as well.

4. LED Lighting Project: You may have noticed a slightly different level of common area lighting on the property,

maybe a bit brighter or perhaps a greater reach. With the never ending advancements in green energy, we have
gone from high pressure sodium, to metal halide to LED light fixtures. By replacing the internal lighting system at
the top of our light poles, we will save the Association in excess of $50,000 over five years. LEDs do not emit heat,
are calculated to last over 10 years, require almost no maintenance and provide a better and brighter light. We are
considering our options for the Silver Spring Drive street lights as well and as the Board and management pick
away at the last of our large accounts, finding ways to save the co-owners money while increasing the quality at the
same time, we continue to stumble across these savings. Having experts in the industry and go-to people guiding us as to the latest gadgets has helped tremendously. Co-owners can help themselves as well. Look for energy
efficient ways to run your home; it can be electric savings for you and water or natural gas for the Association at

large. Install efficient or low volume shower heads, fix that running fill valve in the toilet, repair the copper water
lineunion, replace the toilets with low volume flush models, install a new 80+ efficiency furnace, high efficiency
hot water tank and even do something as simple as changing the furnace filter. If we had 691 homes doing this
at once, you can imagine the cost savings. I used to think that efficiency meant less or not as good. I am
finding that with LED bulbs, they last forever and are vibration resistant. No more garage door or patio lights
burning out and they dont emit heat. I am further told that because they use a fraction of the wattage, a higher
wattage bulb can now be used in a lower wattage fixture.
5. Watercraft: All unregistered watercraft on the lakes & shorelines have been removed by the maintenance staff.

Since we are nearing the end of the season, remember to remove your paddleboats and other watercraft from
the lakes and place them on the boat racks wherever possible. Also make sure to maximize the use of space by
storing the boats close together. Covering them during the winter months will prevent water and ice buildup or
other damage.

2. Renovation Update. The Board of Directors has adopted a budget covering three years. The work will be undertaken in
stages. Priority will be given to ADA compliance and structural repairs.
3. Library Maintenance. Committee members will meet at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, September 24, to re-shelve books and weed
some of the older books.
4. Request for Exception to Rental Policy. On September 10, members were notified and polled via e-mail of a request to
waive the rental fee for an athletic team dinner. For various reasons, including fear of setting a precedent and concern
about how to evaluate such requests objectively, the Committee voted not to recommend this exception.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: That the request for exception to rental policy be denied.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Joel, Diane, and Barbara all retained their positions as Chairperson, Co-Chair, and Secretary by unanimous vote.
2. Joe explained in detail the 30 day trial of the new "curb carts" that are to be placed inside of the trash corrals in each of our
courts, replacing the pet pails. The curb carts are to be used for loose trash and pet waste which it is hoped to eliminate loose
trash on the floors of the corrals. Hopefully this method will provide cleaner trash corrals with only with only full size trash
bags on the floor of the corrals. Recyclables are to be deposited in the bin at the clubhouse. Recycle pick ups are Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday. Court Liaisons are encouraged to explain the new trash system to building residents (what is printed
on the curb carts does not pertain to us). With cleaner floors in the trash corrals residents might be more willing to use the
corral gate to place their trash bags on the floor rather then heaving them over the corral walls.
3. We need a new modern method of trash removal, however, changing over will be complicated and expensive.
4. Joe also mentioned that the 2nd phase of phragmites removal has begun.
5. Cheryl Huizing reported that on 10/22/16, HLCA will be collecting for Civic Concern. There will be a flyer in the October
Herald that will highlight what is needed to help support and reach out to those in need. There are currently 150 individuals/families in the Northville area receiving assistance from Civic Concern because they are living below the poverty level.
Cheryl encouraged us to consider advertising this event in the next Herald.
6. Marty Tingstad announced he is retiring from his Court Liaison duties in Richards Court and introduced Ralph Downey as
his replacement.
7. It was a very nice potluck. We all enjoyed it and went home without being hungry. Thank you Lorraine and Stan.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: There were no recommendations to the Board

GUESTS PRESENT:

Joe Poma - Property Manager

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Discussed the number of crabapple trees that are in poor condition. Reasons mentioned included that these trees are at the
end of their typical life cycle, they were not sprayed this year (a sizable expense) for a blight common to the type of crabapples
on our grounds, and again because of their age; it's time to start replacing them. Also mentioned was that a number of hawthorns are not doing well.
2. Proposed that we form a joint committee with the Ecology Committee to inventory the tree conditions and locations, and
explore types of replacement trees appropriate to this area.
3. Discussed removal of the dying trees. Being that they are not a hazard to adjacent property when cut down, their smaller tree
size could be dealt with in-house maintenance staff.
4. Tree stumps. There are a number of tree stumps on the property. Proposed renting a stump removal piece of equipment for
a day and see how much could be accomplished in that day.
5. Survey of grounds found that there is getting to be a lot of disregard of the association's community rules found in the Owners Manual. Discussion followed regarding how far can we overlook what residents are doing beyond our rules, and what is
our comfort level in seeking closer adherence to the printed rules.
6. We have not received any responses yet from the three landscape contractors which requests for a proposal were submitted
to regarding the foundation evergreen area along front of Highland House.
7. Shrub removal form is in the September issue of the Herald. Must be submitted before end of this month.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: The Grounds Committee voted unanimously to remove invasive and
non-native plants that have been planted along the walkway beyond the Serenity Garden and will replant recommended native plants in this area.

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Discussed replacing a section of lawn with Eco grass as a test plot. Joe will have the area prepped and we will plant the seeds.
Eco grass does not require pesticides, fertilizer nor frequent mowing, which is very important along the lakeshore.
2. Discussed lids for garbage pail around the lakes. We will provide Joe with information on these and will make a decision next
meeting.
3. Joe told us that the phragmites removal program will be an ongoing maintenance program. He is looking for a new company
though, as the last one had some problems.
4. We discussed pesticide application certification and qualifications needed for this. Liz Gannon is certified and is willing to
train and /or lead a crew if using a herbicide to remove invasive plants.
5. Recommended the Lakes Ecology on-line course. The class is $95.00 and some of committee members expressed an interest as this would be valuable information regarding lakes ecology. It was discussed as to seeing if any maintenance workers
would also be interested.
6. Created a procedure and teams to evaluate the crabapple trees throughout Highland Lakes for disease and recommend replacement. The teams will record impressions of tree health, then Jeff Fidge, a horticultural expert will look at the trees and
give a recommendation of which action to take. If any resident is wants to have their tree looked at, please contact an ecology
committee member and we will take a look.
7. We discussed proposals from 3 companies to remove buckthorn from the small wooded area between the path and beach at
Silver Spring Lake. Once the buckthorn in removed, we are hoping to plant seeds next spring to create a meadow in that area.
This meadow will be designed to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other birds. In addition, there will be paths through
so residents can enjoy.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: 1. Fund Lakes Ecology course for any member who wants to take part.

2. Recommend PVC pipe at fishing spots along lakes for fishing line disposal. 3. Recommend test plot area for Eco grass planting.
4. Recommend hiring a company (name will be given in the future) to eliminate buckthorn.

Why Native Plants Matter


The restoration of native plant habitats is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a
native plant garden, you become part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living
landscape for birds, mammals and humans.
Native plants are those that occur naturally in a region in which they evolved. They are the
ecological basis upon which life depends. And so the choices we make have meaningful
effects on bird, insect and mammal populations. Many in this web of life we are dependent
on for pollinating our food and keeping a check on the functioning of the ecological system. And so, restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity.
Benefits of Native Plants:
1. Low Maintenance: once established, they
require very little maintenance.
2. Beauty: Many native plants offer beautiful
and showy flowers, produce abundant colorful
fruits, seeds and provide for 4 season interest.
3. Healthy Places for People: Lawns and manicured landscapes very often require profuse
amounts of artificial fertilizers and synthetic
chemical pesticides and herbicides. By choosing native plants in the landscape we are helping wildlife, but also creating a healthier
place for ourselves, our families and the community.
4. Conserving water: Because native plants are adapted to local environmental conditions,
they require less water, thereby saving time, money and that most valuable resource: water.
5. Wildlife: In addition to birds, native plants also support butterflies and moths, of which
some are very dependent on specific native plants in order to survive. Native plants provide nectar for pollinators. They also provide protective shelter for many mammals. The
native nuts, seeds and fruits produced by native plants offer essential food for all forms of
wildlife and humans.
This is adapted from the Audubon Society article Why Native Plants Matter
The Ecology Committees goal is to use a science based approach to preserve and save
Highland Lakes' natural resources, improving aesthetics and increasing property values
while saving money.

Leidel Court 19th Annual


Backyard Party

Leidel Court held their 19th annual backyard party on


the shores of Swan Harbor Lake on Saturday evening,
August 20, just as the saying goes Neither snow nor
rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed
rounds. Even though we had a couple of sprinkles everyone showed up, with their umbrellas, and had a
great time.
It was a fun evening and what made it perfect was visiting not only with Leidel Court neighbors, but neighbors
from other Courts and previous Highland Lakes residents
joined us as you will see in these pictures.
The party was a success again due to the efforts of Barbara Adams and Gary Eli, who copied and distributed the
invitations. Art Baynes created the invitation again and
used his camera magic so we could view these pictures in
the Herald.
We were again visited this year by uninvited and unexpected guests. Mama deer and her two fawns wandered
out of the woods, stayed quite a while and watched the
goings-on from a short distance, probably wondering who
these humans were causing so much noise.
We had another surprise too. Arts wife, Barbara, joined
us this year feeling better and looking good. It was great
to see her and everyone enjoyed her favorite pasta.
All in all, it was another successful party and the food,
and desserts were scrumptious.

Ingredients:
6 cups regular low-sodium chicken broth
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15.5 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 onions, chopped fine
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
cup minced fresh basil
2 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for serving
salt and pepper
cup dry pasta (see note above)
1 (16 ounce) bag frozen mixed vegetables (see note above)

Preparation:

1. Bring broth, beans, and tomatoes to boil in large saucepan.


2. Meanwhile, heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and
cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in
broth mixture and pasta and simmer until pasta is tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Stir in vegetables and basil and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper. Serve with additional olive oil for drizzling.
