Old Business:

After discussion on future year budget projections, the committee unanimously voted to recommend an increase in the assessment fee of $6/month ($72/year) to take effect on July 1, 2017. This is the first assessment increase in 14 years. The increase provides sufficient funds to cover projected expenditures through 2020. The 2% contractual increase to Rumpke will not be passed on to residents.

The finance committee also unanimously recommended approval of an increase in the administrative fee for lot transfers beginning January 1, 2017 as follows:

Transfers between family members – $100
Other lot transfers – $200
Home transfers – $400

Jennifer Reuter indicated that she and Moe Manion had made corrections to the 2016 end of year escrow balances and EOY required funds projection. The revision indicates an EOY 2016 positive cash balance of $35,641.

Jennifer Reuter made a motion to approve the 2017 Financial Budget. Motion was seconded by Mary Anna Taylor. Passed unanimously subject to Board approval of the recommended revisions to assessments and administrative fees.
