FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
The next item on the agenda was the Association financial report, a copy of which was included in the members’ packets. The report was presented by Dave Ellis, the Treasurer. He stated that the primary focus of the board remained the provision of Association services while maintaining both the short and long-term sustainability of its infrastructure, and that these goals governed the way in which Association assessment dollars were budgeted and spent. Unfortunately, unexpected cost increases and higher delinquencies last year caused an overrun in expenses, but the increase in the 2026 assessment, primarily required to fund a new trash contract starting in July, did enable 2025 to end with a positive balance. He emphasized that the Association finances remain strong with the reserve funding ranking in the top tier of HOAs. This significantly contributes to the sustainability of the quality of life in our neighborhood and hence the preservation of the value of our homes.
