We also wish to thank Dawn Richey who acts as the Community Accounting Advisor.  She spends hours each month working behind the scenes, with the Treasure and Budget Committee.

Thank you to the 2021 Budget Committee for working so hard and quickly in building the budget.  Members: Barbara Dommert-Breckler, Theresa Adams, Dawn Richey, Dave Tyler, Ed Nielsen, and Karen Gore

Achievements for 2020 from the Treasurer include:

  • The Audit was successfully completed for the 2019

  • Budget Committee was able to complete the 2021 budget quickly this year with fewer meetings being required.
  • Worked to build a strong relationship and clear communication with the team at HOA Community Services our Bookkeeping service.

Budget Committee:  Dawn thanked the Budget Committee.  She covered that the budget purpose is to pay the bills and then budget the improvements. Sheriff department will be our security and report were requested.  There is a request for the amount of “bad debt” to be added to our report.  State mandate requires that we allow payment plans for overdue assessments.
