August Budget Forum and Board Meeting

On August 15, 2011, the Board held its annual budget forum where it presented the associations's proposed budget for the fiscal year starting October 1, 2011.  One homeowner attended the budget forum.  Thereafter, the Board held a previously announced meeting, at which it approved the proposed budget, and conducted other routine business. The approved budget does not increase homeowner fees for the fifth consecutive year, which probably explains why only one homeowner attended the budget forum. Click here if you are a homeowner and wish to see a copy of the budget for FY2012.
