January 2021 Northwood Hills Newsletter February2021

Reminder for winter

We have a few cars that don’t move in the winter, We want to remind you not to leave your car parked in one spot along the curbs for extended periods of time and to use your carports. When your car remains stationary, our plow service cannot keep the curb spots clear. This creates a problem for those around you and reduces the available parking spots on the property. The association reserves the right to remove vehicles from the property at owner’s expense for those who do not pay attention.

WARNING

Salt and various ice melt products only work at temperatures above 20 degrees. Putting salt out in sub-zero temperatures may work to melt snow, but the water will freeze and create hazardous icy conditions both on the sidewalks and in the parking lot. Please refrain from using ice melt until temperatures rise to an effective level.

2021 Association Fee increase of $5.00 per month to $240.00 went into effect as of January 1, 2021. Please make sure you are paying the correct amount.

Direct Deposit

Northwood has implemented a direct deposit program. Would you like to sign up? There is a bank service fee of $1.95 per transaction which will be deducted from your account should you choose to use this option. If you wish to use this service, please call or email the office and you will receive an invitation and the link allowing you to set up the service.

Updating Bylaws

The Board of Directors is working to make further changes to the bylaws which will be more specific to Northwood Hills and its residents. We expect to have those recommendations available for owners to review by late March. We will have dates available at the clubhouse to discuss the changes with the Association’s attorney. Approval of any changes will be done by ballot in April or May of this year.

Marijuana

Please be advised that Northwood Hills adheres to the Federal Law. Although 18 states including Michigan have legalized the medical and recreational use of marijuana, federal law does not recognize or protect medicinal or recreational marijuana possession or use. The federal government can still prosecute people who are otherwise protected under State Law. Violation of Federal Laws regarding Marijuana use in your condominium at Northwood Hills are still subject to fines by the Association.
