Kathy Baldwin, Co-Chair Sandy Nolan, Board Liaison
Rosemary Campion Peggy Zonca, Board Liaison
Mary Kay Wimsatt
Yvonne Wilson
Elaine Anderson

SUBJECTS DISCUSSED:

1. Chili Cook-off: Special thanks to all volunteers who helped to make our 1st Annual Chili Cook-off a huge success.

2. Future Committee Events: The group decided to do a special Game Night in September on a Saturday evening. Be sure to
watch your Herald for specific details about the date and time.

3. Clubhouse Rental Agreement: After a review of a recent rental request, this committee found that our current rental
agreement does not clearly address rentals that wish to open the Clubhouse to outside guests (those who are not residents
or guests of Highland Lakes) nor does it explain clearly which rentals would be prohibited for sake of our ADA compliance/
non-profit status. This may be a legal question for attorneys.

4. Book Re Shelving: Thursday, April 20th @ 10:30 am

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: Please review and add bullet points to the current Rental Agreement
to address the concerns above.
NEXT MEETING: Monday, May 1, 2023 @ 6 p.m.

lifeguards have been hired. This year’s pool staff will also include a pool manager. The positions of Pool Manager,

tinue having lifeguards teach Water Aerobics M-W-F and see if there is interest in swimming lessons.

3. POOL OPENING: The goal is for the pool to open on May 26, 2023. Two new chlorinators have been purchased
and a new computer for the big pool. The baby pool should be open this summer, pending Wayne County inspec-
tion.

4. FLOWERS: Monies have been allocated to purchase flowers which the Grounds Committee will plant. The Pool
Committee will help with upkeep/trimming/watering/etc. Possible pool staff will be recruited to help with upkeep.

5. BALLS IN THE POOL


• Use of balls in the pool will be monitored/restricted.
• Designated “ball” times of 2, 4, 6 pm.
• If ball play gets out of hand, it will be up to the lifeguards discretion to cease activity.

6. POTENTIAL FHA VIOLATION: Upon further review, it was determined that implementation of ADULT SWIM
the last 15 minutes of the hour is discriminatory and an FHA violation. Therefore, ADULT SWIM TIME DUR-
ING “NORMAL POOL HOURS” HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THIS IS NON- NEGOTIABLE.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD: Request to host Floats and Floats. This event will potentially be held on
August 10th from 6pm to 8pm. It will include Root Beer/Vernors/etc. floats as well as swim floats. Further discus-
sion is needed for event implementation pending the Boards approval.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

• Board of Directors 2009-present.


• Served on the EEDC for seven years. This is the Employee Evaluation Development Committee. It is composed of three
Board members appointed by the Board President to address employee issues.
• Editor of the Highland Lakes Herald during the 1970’s. Wrote articles, solicited advertising and printed the Herald on an
off-set printer in the Clubhouse. I have written various columns for the Herald throughout the years and am always
available to contribute when needed.
• Member of the original Social Committee which provided activities and events for adults and children from the 1970’s until
the early 2000’s. Currently serving as a Board Liaison to the Pool, Herald, and Clubhouse Committees.
• Former Chairman and member of the Pool Committee for fifteen years.
• Currently involved in the process of reviving the Herald Committee. The Highland Herald is the official newspaper for our
community. Our goal is to expand and improve the Herald to include new and interesting articles and provide important
information for co-owners.

OBJECTIVE

• To continue to work on the Board applying the knowledge and experience I have gained. I will continue to work to keep
association dues stable while supporting efforts to improve property values.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

• I am an original owner in Highland Lakes and have always enjoyed living here. We are all part of a very special
community. The six-year roofing program was completed at a very minimal cost to the co-owners. This is an example of
what can be done as we address the huge task of updating the entire community which is now underway. New siding,
shutters, address numbers, mailboxes and porch lights are in the process of gracing the property. Happily, Highland Lakes
has never had a special assessment and we strive to follow this path as we move forward.

Through attending many committee meetings, I remain informed so as to make good Board decisions which affect us all. I
truly believe Highland Lakes will continue to improve throughout the years and remain a great place to live.

Easy Chicken Enchiladas

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken


2 cups easy enchilada sauce, divided
8 corn or flour tortillas (see note if using flour tortillas)
2 1/2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
salt and pepper, to taste
optional toppings: diced onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded lettuce, cotija cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, 1/4 cup enchilada sauce and a generous pinch of salt
and pepper. Mix together and taste. Season with more salt and pepper as needed.
If using corn tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and heat them in the microwave for 1 minute, flipping them
halfway through until all of them are warm and pliable.
If using flour tortillas: Microwave the tortillas on a plate for 1 minute, flipping them halfway through until all of them are warm
and pliable.
Assemble the enchiladas by filling each tortilla evenly with the shredded chicken mixture and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Roll
the tortillas tightly to close and place in large baking dish seam side down.
Pour the remaining 1 3/4 cup enchilada sauce over the tortillas, top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese, and bake
for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve immediately and garnish with desired toppings.

SHRUB TRIMMING NOTICE - SPRING 2023
Highland Lakes Condominium Association
20301 Silver Spring Drive
Northville, MI 48167

The Highland Lakes Condominium Association has tentatively scheduled to begin the
2023 Shrub Trimming Program on June 1, 2023, which will continue for two weeks
weather permitting. Our maintenance staff will trim all of the shrubs in the complex.
We are able to maintain the attractive overall appearance of Highland Lakes by having
the shrubs trimmed in a timely manner. All of your shrubs are trimmed or none of your
shrubs are trimmed; partial requests cannot be accepted.

For those Co-Owners who do not wish to be included in the program, we will make
every effort to accommodate your request.

The following form must be submitted to the Clubhouse by May 15, 2023, if you do
not want your shrubs trimmed this year.

NAME: Building Unit

ADDRESS:

DAYTIME PHONE: HOME PHONE:

CO-OWNER’S SIGNATURE:

I would like my name put on the list requesting that my bushes not be included in the
Shrub Trimming Program. I understand the Association makes every effort to
accommodate my request. I also understand that with a shrub trimming program that
is so extensive, sometimes, inadvertently, shrubs are trimmed by the Association;
however, this does not happen very often.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE SHRUB TRIMMING


PROGRAM, PLEASE CALL THE CLUBHOUSE OFFICE AT 248-349-4006
