Dave Ellis presented a report of the August 31, 2026, financials. As of this date, the money in the bank totaled $1,306,902.21. This figure includes checking and Account Registry CDs (CDAR)s which together constitute the funds required to cover both operating expenses and the necessary reserve to fund maintenance and replacement of the Association’s capital assets.

OLD BUSINESS

  1. Decisions approved by email vote since the last meeting:
    1. Approval of the 2027 Reserve Study.

NEW BUSINESS

  1. Consider and Vote on Contract Renewals
    1. The board reviewed and approved the renewal of the contracts from Crest Management, Sweetwater Pools and Texas Lawn Care. However, there was some dissatisfaction expressed about Sweetwater’s management of its lifeguards and a company representatives will be asked to attend the October meeting to respond to these concerns.
    2. The Association’s 5-year electricity contract with Direct Energy expires next July. To lock in currently favorable rates for our electricity supply for the next few years an American Enerpower Energy Services representative had been asked to solicit competitive bids for a future long-term contract beginning next August. The best rate was offered by Constellation. Approval was given for Dave Ellis to execute a 52-week contract with this company.
  2. Consider and Vote on Adopting the 2027 Budget – the board conducted a detailed Ine-by-line review of the predicted 2027 expenses and the income that would be generated at various maintenance assessment rates. Following this review the board voted to adopt the 2027 budget with the revisions made during the meeting.
  3. Consider and Vote on Adopting 2027 Annual Assessment – A motion was made, seconded and unanimously caried to increase the 2027 Assessment fee to $900 per home. As a result of increased inflation-driven expenses, this rate will still result in a predicted deficit of over $27,000 which will be funded from the operating reserve.
