BOARD NEWS
On November 6th, the Board of Directors met
at a Special Budget Meeting to review and answer questions regarding the budget
for 2025 and potential reserve spending for maintenance & repairs.
The Treasurer gave a brief report on the status of the bank balances, Reserve Fund Balances and projections for expenses to the end of 2024 as well as an outline for proposed reserve spending for 2025. The main expenditure for reserve spending in 2025 is a minor paving project to do a cracki/seal of all the cul-de-sacs except Quimper Place and Dana Place. The next major paving project is planned for 2026.
The crack/seal will allow the association to build up reserve funds so the major paving projects planned for 2026 and 2028 won't severely deplete the reserve fund.
The Board approved the proposed budget for 2025 with some minor adjustments. The ballots for 2025 budget proposal will be mailed out to members the week of 11/18/2024 and must be received by 7:00 pm, Monday, December 9th when the meeting is called to order.
The members will also be asked on the ballot to waive an audit of the records of 2024. Because of the expense, the board's recommended policy regarding audits is to have a full CPA audit every other year. In doing so, the audit will also cover the period that includes the years in-between. The years 2019, 2021 and 2023 have been audited and those audits included a review of 2020 & 2022.
The CPA found that this association is meeting the standard of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and found no inconsistencies or discrepancies in the accounting, control procedures, adherence to governing documents or state statutes. Their assessment is that the financial statements presented to members, buyers and their agents portray a true and accurate representation of the associations financial status.
The next meeting is on Monday, December 9th, at the clubhouse at which time the ballots will be counted and, if approved by the membership, the budget for 2025 will be ratified and implemented as of January 1, 2025.
