Updated Surplus Numbers

Updated Surplus Numbers
Updated Surplus Numbers: Actual surplus 2018 per audit was $85,163.
Boards 2011-2018 implemented policies and procedures with specific goals:
stabilize owner fees, achieve maintenance objectives and achieve annual budget surpluses.
Any surplus was retained by the association.
The board elected in fall 2018 decided to increase owner fees, even in view of a large potential surplus

Here's the calendar for the month, provided by my graphics artist friend L. Dunbar. This is posted with Dunbar's permission.


Notes:

  1.  This is a calendar which provides an monthly expression which flies in the face of those "success" calendars we see, and sometimes get. This month's calendar expression could also be paraphrased as "Those who do absolutely nothing never make mistakes."
