2009 Budget Objectives

      όBalanced budget if possible with back-up to use cash reserves

      όMaintain cash reserve for ~ three / six months (rainy day fund) of annual HOA expenses

      όCommunity Center options are a separate discussion

 

2009 Budget Key Assumptions

 Revenues

    •HOA dues flat @ $400

    •Historical collections ratio (~95%) ; interest income ~ dramatically reduced

    •Community Center rentals flat / misc revenues flat (no insurance refund)

Spending increases for security / insurance / small contingencies / evaluate LT Facility Plan …

    •Insurance costs up 5-10% 
    •    Run and Maintain for Community Center ~ flat (most major repairs in 2005 / 2006) but contingencies for club house HVAC and some structural issues / tennis court refurbishing

      όTennis - any major court rebuild part of LT facilities Plan

      όFitness flat spend (purchased new equipment in 2006 / 2007 / 2008)

      όPool contract slight 3% increase from last year (D&S – good performance)

•No significant exterior entrance monument repairs or renovations such as Cul de Sacs / Sprinklers, etc.

•Another major hurricane / damages and or extra trash pick-up
•No monies built in for recoveries if we are granted non-profit 501 c 3 status

HOA Assessments Overview

Assessement – No Dues Increase
•Given overall economic climate no dues increase for 2009 / we have sufficient cash reserves even if the actual 2009 results are slightly worse that the planned budget @ break-even
History
•2008 was the first increase in 12 years except 2005 homeowners vote to take over the Community Center
–The CPI has moved up over 35%...
–The 2008 increase reflected the continued inflation for security, maintenance, energy costs and administration
•Community Center assessment of $175 ( 2005) was designed to be sustainable for a facility with significant “catch-up” refurbishments and minor phased renovations but not a major tear-down / renovation.  We have delivered that assumption / the cash surplus we have run each year approximates the debt service for the original ~ $750,000 loan assumption
•Memorial Northwest continues to have lower (lowest) assessments in the area
Funding for Community Center Improvements
•Depending on the vote of the homeowners who may authorize a minor / major rebuild of the community center and to provide funding (if required) we would then raise assessments (if required) to repay debt required to fund minor /major renovations per that vote…

Surplus / Deficit
 Before Capital Spending*** ~ $524          ($ 000s)

2003 primarily due to Section 18,25 revenues
2004 primarily due to security contract reduction
2005 primarily due to Community Center  one time catch-up repairs
2006 / 2007  lower / delayed Community Center spend & increased rental revenues partially offset by maint overspend / 2007 helped by $28,000 insurance settlement for roof damage
2008 primarily extra spending for Hurricane Ike
