 The budget for 2006 was approved after careful examination. Starting with January, 2006 the monthly homeowner’s HOA dues will increase to $170 in order to boost our reserve fund. The goal is to have over $20,000 in the reserve fund by the end of 2006.

 Contributions to Reserves were increased by 54.8% from $12,953 to $20,056.The reserve fund will be monitored twice a year. A favorable CD term and return are being checked out by Warren and Bill.

It is necessary to keep in mind that by 2014 repaving will be required and our current estimated cost for that project is $75,000.

 Given the increase in fuel costs, it was anticipated that our long-term contracts might be a source of higher fees. Instead, Pat Fasano’s hourly rate went up by less than 2% (including snow removal), Stacey Estrich’s was approximately 3% and Bill Tomlinson’s was not increased.

Sidewalk replacement at 7 Spruce Ridge has been completed.

The board is going to research group rates and preferential scheduling for such services as painting, window and gutter cleaning, handyman services, etc. Suggestions are invited both for types of services and for names of exemplary contractors.
