Emergency Parking Regulations Within the Lake Mohawk Country Club ReservationParking is Prohibited On:

Attention: Snow Season Is HereThe Lake Mohawk Country Club Road

Department maintains 25 miles of roads in LakeMohawk Country Club and snow season is mostchallenging. Residents should be aware of thefollowing during the Winter Season:

• Parking: Between November 1 and April30, when snow or ice are present on theroads, parking is not allowed on the roads.Please note the emergency parking regulationsand the posted signs regarding emergencyparking regulations for any exceptions to theparking rules. Obeying the rules of parking inthe winter season will make it easier for theLMCC Road Department to keep your roadscleared.

• Mailboxes: If your mailbox is at theroadside, please make sure your mailbox isplaced and secured correctly. During thewinter damage occurs because of mis-

placement and unsteadiness of mailboxes andthe impact of snow against the mailbox. Yourmailbox should be checked after each stormfor stability. Lake Mohawk Country Club isresponsible only for damage resulting fromdriver error.

• Miscellaneous obstacles: All garbagecans must be placed far enough behind thecurb or edge of the road so the cans are notimpacted by the snow. Basketball stands mustbe removed from the road prior to the winterseason.

• Driveways: While our plow crews try tominimize the amount of snow that gets plowedinto your driveway during a storm, it is theresponsibility of the property owner to cleartheir driveway opening. As a reminder, SpartaTownship ordinance prohibits shoveling orplowing the snow back into the street.

• Snow Plowing Trucks: Please stay back50 feet from the Road Department trucks thatare plowing the roads. This will ensure yoursafety. Be aware that the snowplowingequipment might also be backing up to get thecorrect angle to plow.

From the President’s Desk

I am honored to have been electedto serve as President of the Board ofTrustees at Lake Mohawk CountryClub. Two years ago, I ran for theBoard because I felt that I couldmake a difference and bring a differ-ent voice to the Board. I felt we need-ed to change the way we conductedbusiness and I wanted to be a part ofthe changes, not just bring sugges-tions to the Board. As Board Presi-dent, my feelings have not changed. Ihave four suggestions that I believewill help our membership develop abetter understanding of the issuesfacing our community and what theBoard is doing to address them.First, I believe we need to have well

defined goals for this business year,clearly communicated to the mem-bership. I have asked the Board toaddress four key areas:1.Improving communication with

membership,2.Complete and present a Strategic

Plan to membership,3.Complete a Reserve Study and

develop a Capital Plan forpresentation to membership, and

4.Prepare the 2015 annualoperating and capital budgets intime for review of membership atthe annual meeting.

Each of these items will be dis-cussed at every Board meeting andregular updates provided to mem-bership.Secondly, I have asked the Board to

reconsider all the standing commit-tees and restructure according to thefollowing guidelines: each committeemust have:1.a clearly defined purpose,2.one to three specific goals to be

accomplished during thebusiness year

3.regularly scheduled meetings tobe published in the Papoose andon the members website and

4.meeting minutes to be producedand kept on file with the ClubSecretary in accordance with theBy-Laws.

The By-Laws require three commit-tees: the Finance Committee, thePresident’s Advisory Committee

Making A Difference(PAC) and the Architectural ReviewCommittee. All other committeeswill be reviewed to ensure that ourefforts are being spent productively,addressing the most pressing needsof the Reservation. The end result iswe will have committees that areclear in what they are trying toaccomplish and will eliminate thosethat are no longer relevant. Member-ship will have the option to hearwhat is going on in each committeeand also to participate in addressingspecific goals where they believethey can make meaningful contribu-tions. We look forward to your helpin the large tasks we have before us.Thirdly, I have proposed we develop

a set of “Standing Rules” that will beavailable for viewing on our websitewhich will explain the procedures theBoard and Management follow incertain situations. For instance, wewould have a set of rules outliningcommittee requirements, as alreadydiscussed. We will also outline theguidelines for Executive Sessions(what is discussed, what is not, etc.).A policy will be developed andincluded in the standing rulesregarding information for member-ship - what is available, how toobtain the information, what will bepublished, etc. These will be devel-oped throughout the year and willanswer numerous questions abouthow the Board and Managementoperate.Finally, I have asked the Board to be

more engaged in hearing your con-cerns and answering your questionsat our Board meetings. I believe thatthe Board of Trustee meetings areyour time to talk to the Board mem-bers, not necessarily Club Manage-ment. Management will be availableand encouraged to answer questionsas needed, but the Board will make astrong effort to openly discuss yourconcerns and hear your valuableinput for Lake Mohawk CountryClub.The Board of Trustees has heard

membership say that you want bet-ter and more concise information,more frequently disseminated, using

a variety of media. We also recognizethat you want to see better, morecomplete planning and much moredetail in explaining the vision andplan for Lake Mohawk Country Club.I plan on creating a Communica-tions Committee which will beresponsible for addressing thisimportant issue. We will also be con-tinuing the Strategic Planningprocess, and will begin to initiate thesearch for a professional to conducta comprehensive reserve study.In closing, I ask for your help in sev-

eral ways:1.Please go to the members’ websiteand click on the link for themembers’ survey. Take the time tofill out the survey and check backmonthly for a new survey. We aretrying to find out what you wantso that we can make betterdecisions for your community.

2.Get involved. You have severalways to be involved, includingparticipating at Board meetings,getting involved with acommittee, sending yoursuggestions (andencouragements) to the office ordirectly to a Board member,supporting the member eventsthat are presented for yourenjoyment and participating inyour local beaches and intraclubs.

3.Provide the office with your emailaddress.We will be using moreemail communication as weimprove our capabilities to sendout large group emails. Help uskeep you informed.

I am humbled by the faith that youhave placed in me to provide theleadership to the Board of Trusteesduring these challenging times. Icommit to doing the best possiblejob for you during this year. Thankyou for your support.

an excellent 21 percent response rate, assuming oneresponse from each of the 2,600 homes.

Many thanks toMembers who took the time to complete the survey.

insights into the major areas of operation.

this time every year - from taking upa long-delayed painting project, tofinally remodeling that kitchen, orfinally making up your mind aboutpacking up and selling the place.The web is full of real estate resolu-

tions, so as we ease into the NewYear, we’ll present a punch list of thebest of these 2014 pledges:Purge - Tara-Nicole Nelson, a broker

in San Francisco, Calif., says get ridof stuff you don’t want buyers to seeand stuff you don’t want to move toyour new home. It’s probably toocold, wet or snowy to hold a garage

It is 2014 - What’s Your Real Estate Resolution?sale right now, but you can donateitems for a tax deduction.

Just buy -You will never get there untilyou take that first step. Assumingthat you have the capital to workwith, now is the time to buy!Choose a property that you knowwill profit you one way or theother. It can be through rental orequity buildup or renovation forflipping - whatever it is, take thatfirst step.

Remodeling? - Determining your returnon investment should be one ofthe first things you research beforestarting any remodeling project. Ifyou plan on selling your home

someday, keep in mind that 80 per-cent is the ideal return on a remod-eling investment. A few suggestedimprovements that can bring thegreatest return on investment in -clude kitchen improvements, newsiding, a bathroom addition, andreplacing windows.

Refinancing? - Taking advantage ofthe current low interest rates mightmake refinancing a good option foryou. A recent study indicates thatmore homeowners are switchingfrom a 30-year fixed rate mortgageto 15-year fixed rate mortgage andbringing additional funds to closingto reduce their mortgage amount.

Shop - Finally, Chicago Tribune realestate columnists Ilyce Glink andSamuel Tamkin suggest potentialhomebuyers resolve to shop aroundwhen looking for a home loan.They say lenders vary, often signif-icantly, in the fees they charge andthe interest rates they levy so keepsearching until you find a lenderthat offers both good service andgood rates.(By John Voket)Christine Dehnel, Sales Associate

LOCALLY

Sometime seemingly small acts have an impact bigger thanyou ever imagined. Take family spending. You may thinkyou are just fulfilling your family’s want or needs when youshop or dine out. Think Again.

The choice of where you spend your money makes a bigdifference to your community. Spending your money withlocally owned independent businesses put it to work direct-ly helping your local economy, just one way your communi-ty benefits from its independent businesses. They usegoods and services of other locally owned independentbusinesses thus re-circulating your money about 3.5 timeslonger locally than if you spend it at a chain store. This cre-ates greater community health and prosperity.

Now imagine the impact on your communityif everyone shopped locally owned. You canstop imagining and help make it a reality.
