SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
Guy filled in for Barb: Opened the meeting for the Chairperson, Barb Balok, and explained that she was caring for
her ill Mom.

1. Clubhouse Renovations are progressing with a target date of Mid-December for improvements, everything is on schedule
at this time. Furniture would come after the clubhouse has been cleaned and the work has been approved.
Ray Parzych asked about the furniture. He requested that the Committee get a chance to review the furniture before
it was purchased. It was further suggested that the furniture should have more than one option to choose from. It was
understood that if possible, the Designer, Rob Berlin, would follow up with designers who could recommend furniture
schemes for the lounge area.

2. Joe reported that the equipment for the fitness room was on order and would be installed at the same time; a couple of
items were on back order.

3. It was suggested that the committee be prepared to recommend new fitness room policies and that they review and scru-
tinize the Clubhouse Rental Agreement for January.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: None

COMMITTEE: Court Liaison Committee MEETING DATE: November 1, 2018
MEMBERS PRESENT: Barb Balok GUESTS PRESENT:
Joel Lutz, Chairperson Tom Werner Peggy Zonca, Board Liaison
Diane Pittaway, Co-Chair Barb Adams Guy Balok, Board President
Andrea Valle Liz Oliver Kathy Baldwin, Board
Barb Evans Michael Baynes, Board Liaison
Ann Creviston, Board Liaison

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:
1. Joel Lutz presented Barb Adams with a giant pencil with an inscription for her service as secretary from 2010 to 2018 along
with a “Thank You” helium balloon.

2. Trash Handling: Yard waste pickup has been erratic and unpredictable. Though pickup is supposed to be every other Tues-
day, unsightly bags have often accumulated more than two weeks and are picked up on random days. Guy verified with Joe
that scheduled pickup is every other Tuesday. Concern was expressed that yard waste pickup will end before all leaves have
fallen. Guy confirmed that it will continue through November 30th. Kathy Baldwin will ask Joe to check on the unreliable
pickup schedule.

Judy Nakdimen’s “Trash Talk” cartoon for the December Herald shows placing vs. pitching bags into the corral. Liz Oliver
asked if robocalls could give reminders about proper trash disposal. Guy explained that residents already complain about the
number of robocalls. Barb Balok suggested that the calls could target specific courts. Kathy Baldwin recommended that if we
see a specific court with consistent offenses to notify Joe.

Mike Baynes relayed that he has been approaching his neighbors on Richard Court to encourage personal responsibility for
trash disposal. Torn bags from animals and loose items appear to be the biggest problem. Possible solutions were discussed
such as pouring ammonia into the trash bag and providing an extra separate container in the corral. Direct contact by build-
ing liaisons or a memo may be effective.

3. Mailboxes: Joel observed that many units still have the original mailboxes which are inadequate for the volume of mail now.
Board members explained that the possibility of installing uniform mailboxes will be discussed at the Board meeting on sid-
ing scheduled for Wednesday, November 7th. Court Liaison representatives will be Joel Lutz, Diane Pittaway, Sharon Smith
and Andrea Valle.

4. Front Doorways: Joel cited another problem is the peeling, unsightly paint and caulking around doorways. Kathy Baldwin
assured that this problem would be addressed by the siding project.

5. Barb Adams volunteered to deliver the Heralds this month for Old Bridge Court.

6. Potholes: Questions were raised about the quality of the paving materials. Ann Creviston suggested that the new company
hired may improve the quality.

 Snow Removal Request Form
Handicapped/Disabled List – If you are in need of special attention with snow and ice removal, as
a courtesy, the Association maintains a list of those Co-Owners and residents that need this service,
forms can be obtained at the Clubhouse office.

You must complete and return the Special Attention Form along with a copy of your handicap
sticker that is displayed in your car. (We will make the copy for you.) Anyone with a permanent
handicap plate will of course be on the list. However we will still need a completed form on file and
we will need to know if this condition is a temporary or permanent condition. Additionally, those
residents with permanent handicap plates will need to provide a copy of their vehicle registration.

We cannot guarantee that Maintenance will be able to provide this special attention for every
snow event; however, we will make every effort to do so.

If you are requesting this special service, please fill in the information below.

Check the box below that applies to you:

† Co-Owner is disabled
† Co-Owner is disabled and employed full-time or part-time.
† Co-Owner is disabled and has regular scheduled doctor appointments,
therapy sessions, chemotherapy treatments etc.

Please describe:

Date: Unit #:

Co-Owner Name:

Address:

Phone(s):

Please fill out the form completely, explaining your disability and your reasons for requesting that
you be placed on the Disabled List

Residents who meet the above criteria and provide a doctor’s note stating your disability will have
the snow cleared away from their porch and sidewalk first, and within snow policy parameters.

During the weekend, how much snowfall is required before maintenance will be called in?

Removal
Snow
Answer: 4 inches or more measured in more than three areas on the property.

Why does my court seem to be last during the recent snowfall?

Answer: To attempt to bring some semblance of fairness, the starting point of snow
removal efforts change each time.

Why does it seem to take so long to clean my parking spaces?

Answer: Maintenance depends on the cooperation of the Co-Owners to empty the courts of cars
before plows can safely plow the spaces. The plows cannot fit in between parked cars.

Why did Maintenance leave a small amount of snow on the sidewalk this time?
Answer: Leaving a small amount of snow provides traction to more safely walk.

Why does the Association have an adopted snow policy?

F
Answer: (A) To keep our Co-Owners informed of what to expect from the Association
(B) It is required as part of our Risk Management procedures.
How long should it take Maintenance to completely finish snow removal efforts?

A
Answer: 48 hours or less depending on the weather and the amount of snow.

In what order, and when, is snow blowing and plowing handled?

Q
Answer: FIRST DAY SECOND DAY
1 – Streets 5 – Approach Walks
2 – Clubhouse 6 – Porches
3 – Main Sidewalks 7 – Parking Spaces
4 – Centers of Courts (Only if courts are clear of cars)

S now R emoval P RoceduRes

1. NoRmal sNow eveNts:
• 1 ½ - 4 inches - Clearing will begin during normal work hours following the established Snow Policy.
2. laRge sNow eveNts:
• 4 inches or more - Maintenance will begin clearing main sidewalks and traffic lanes during the snow event. If
necessary, they will continue the removal effort until 10:00 p.m. The next morning they will begin a second clearing
effort and start sidewalks and courts until they are cleared, or until 8:00 p.m.
• 4 inches or more – Maintenance may clear on weekends, nights, and holidays following the Snow Policy depending
on forecasted conditions. Day 1 Start times may vary and may work up to 12 hours.
3. sNow emeRgeNcies/BlizzaRds:
More than 10 inches - Efforts will be focused on keeping main roads, traffic lanes and main sidewalks open to emergency
traffic only. Once those elements are clear, work may begin on approach sidewalks and courts. Maintenance will work
up to 14 hours per day, until the roads, courts and walks are clear. Contractors may be called in if necessary. The priority
treatment of the handicapped list will be suspended during these events. Exceptions for emergencies will be handled
on a case basis.
** Handicap list will be suspended during blizzards and large snow events.
4. PaRkiNg sPaces: After the primary snow removal efforts are completed, maintenance will begin clearing parking spaces if cars are out of
the court. Management encourages Court Captains to facilitate the removal of cars and contact the Clubhouse to advise when their court is
clear and management will then contact maintenance to begin plowing the parking spaces within that court. If maintenance is ready to plow
a court, the Association may also contact the court captains to facilitate the movement of parked vehicles.
5. oveRall goal: The Association shall have the sidewalks, courts (not parking spots), and roads, clear within 48 hours
of the cessation of a snow event.
6. HazaRdous coNditioNs: During the winter, the weather conditions favor the potential for slippery
sidewalks, porches and roads. Please use due care and caution during this time of the year and
keep a supply of ice-melter, which is available at the Clubhouse, at your home for your use.

 HLCA Most Unwanted Enemy
#8 Oriental bittersweet
(Celastrus orbiculatus)

What’s wrong with bittersweet?

Oriental bittersweet was introduced to the Unites States from China around 1860 as an ornamental
plant. Unfortunately, it has escaped the cultivated garden and is
now poses a significant threat to our natural areas of Michigan.
It hybridizes with American Bittersweet, (Celastrus scandens),
potentially leading to loss of genetic identity for the native
species.
The ends which contain seeds, are often cut in the fall and used
as fall decoration, increasing the spread of this prolific invasive.

Oriental bittersweet is a rapidly growing vine that can shade,

cover and outcompete other vegetation. The vine spreads from
tree to tree in the forest canopy and as the vine grows in
diameter, it literally strangles the structure supporting it. If that
happens to be a tree, it will girdle the tree, cutting the flow of
water and nutrients. The sheer weight of the vine eventually
weakens the tree and may come crashing down in and a wind or
ice storm.

What does Oriental bittersweet look like?

Oriental bittersweet is a perennial deciduous, climbing,

woody vine that may reach 60 feet in length and 7 inches in
diameter. It climbs by coiling around trees, shrubs and any
other available support. The root system is extensive and
deep.
The alternate leaves are broadly oval, glossy and finely
toothed. They range from 2 to 5 inches long and have
pointed tips. They turn yellow in fall, and retain their
leaves late in the season. Bittersweet’s stems are light or
medium brown, with white pith. They often have
noticeable light horizontal marks. Roots are a bright
orange.

16
Oriental bittersweet flowers are insignificant,
greenish yellow. The five-petaled flowers are
clustered in the leaf axils. They bloom in May
and June, with the male and female flowers
usually occur on separate plants. The fruit is
green when young, then ripening to yellow, and
then split to reveal showy, scarlet berries that
persist into winter. Each berry contains 3 to 6
seeds on the female plant.

How do I manage Oriental bittersweet?

Oriental bittersweet also reproduces readily by spreading underground roots, making it very
difficult to eradicate by digging. A combination of hand digging and applying herbicide to
freshly cut stumps can be effective for established populations over time. Refer to a Michigan
DNR fact sheet for best control practices of Oriental bittersweet.
Remember to read and follow all pesticide label directions.

The native American bittersweet (Celastrus scandens) has

elliptical rather than rounded leaves. The flowers and fruit of
the female plants occur in a single clump at the tips of the
stems rather than spread along the stems. Male flowers of the
native may occasionally occur along the stems but will not
produce fruit.

American bittersweet is protected under the Natural

Resources and Environmental Protection Act 451 of 1994,
Section 324, Part 529. It cannot be cut or transported
without a bill of sale or proof of ownership under
Michigan law. It is also listed as a Species of Special
Concern in Michigan.

 Important Safety Information

FUN FACT & QUESTION:

The Earth travels around the sun in an elliptical
orbit, meaning that it does not travel in a perfect
circle. When is the Earth closest to the Sun?

ANSWER:
The Earth will be closest to the Sun on January 2nd
or 3rd, 2019 and furthest from the Sun around July
4, 2019. The difference between the closest point
and furthest point is roughly 3.4 million miles.

PARENTS: Depending on weather conditions among other

things, the ice that covers our lakes during the winter may
be thin in areas and it is recommended that you do not leave
your children unattended. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

For those of you that have live trees be sure to water

every day. Keep your Christmas tree at least 3 feet away
from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, space heaters,
candles and heat vents.
