Highland Lakes

The Highland Lakes Voting Board is scheduled to meet at 8 pm Friday, February 17 in the Lake Room of the Clubhouse. The board generally meets on the third Friday of most months to review the current activities and business of the Club. The meeting agenda always includes time allotted for reports from individual committees, a review of the Club’s current expenses, correspondence, legal matters, and a discussion of old and new business. Towards the end of the meeting the floor is open to members and all who wish to share their views on any Club related topic are encouraged to speak. Time is permitted at the beginning of each meeting for members to express views on any topic scheduled for a vote that night.

New business to be discussed includes the following:
• motion to approve the use of Clubhouse by the Vernon Coalition, an organization supported by the Center for Prevention in Newton, on March 31, 2017, for a youth group meeting and movie;

• motion to enter into an agreement with Boswell Engineering, Inc. to develop plans, prepare bidding specifications, and to submit permit applications to NJDEP to address the poor conditions of the approaches to the Club’s three bridges.

Attending board meetings and workshops is a great way for members to become knowledgeable about the issues that the Club faces, to gain an understanding of what various committees are working on and become acquainted with board officers and the trustees who represent the various sections of our community. Meetings are typically two to three hours in length.
