  • See Attached Budget document
  • Compared 2022 actual spending to the budget
    • Budgeted $86,200 but spent $90757.47
  • The 2023 budget requires a special assessment to balance and cover the Lake Loan.
• Discuss the increase in Fees for the clubhouse

    • The board approved this action
    • Anything currently reserved will use the current fees. 
    • Inform Elite of the new fee structure (Sam)
• Discuss the status of Lake Renovation
  • Rain has slowed the process
  • Work is continuing
• Discuss the status of the Special Assessment
  • Should we continue seeking the last votes we need for an assessment to cover lake repairs?
    • 84 of the 127 needed
    • This only deals with the lake problem and not our budget issues.
  • Should we start a new vote to cover the loan expenses for this year?
    • This would require a special assessment of $120 for the next 5 years to cover the Loan and interest.
  • Should we raise rates?
    • Rates could be raised by $150
      • This will pay off the loan in 2 years and save on the interest
      • This will cover the Lake Repair loan and allow the board to begin paying some extra on the $200k loan that we owe.
      • The board selected this as the best option
      • This requires a community Vote
      • We will require residents to vote before activating pool keys
  • Should we shut down services if we can’t afford operation expenses or raise rates?
