Hi Dawn,

We may need some further explanation of what you are looking at as far as negative balance. I just spoke with Liz and we may need to schedule a meeting to understand what the Board is asking. The CD was purchased in August of last year, for $5,000. These funds were from Community Operating. In November we were asked to reclass these funds from Community Operating to Water Operating. The reclassification was done through retained earnings. When the CD matured the funds were placed into Water Operating. This variance will show however, the funds are showing in the 2020 retained earnings. There will be a negative variance in 2021 but this can be explained as the funds are in the retained earnings. There will be nothing to show on the P&L.

Subject: Re: $5000.00 AAB CD matured Jan 2021.

This has nothing to do with reserve funds.  In February 2021 when C D matured, it was deposited into the main HOA water operating bank account. Aug 8, 2020 the Board voted to buy the CD with intent that at maturity it deposit into 2021 water operating account. Since it is not an assessment, it was to be treated as line item retained earnings to expend against during this year. Without it showing on our reports this way, expenditures will carry an unacceptable negative balance. So what do you specifically want from us to have this happen? We have a Board meeting tonight.

Thank you,

Dawn Richey

Good Morning Dawn,

Are you wanting to make a contribution of $5,000 from water operating to water reserves? If this is the case, can you please provide me meeting minutes with this vote listed as this was not budgeted?

> Yes thank you Stephanie, sorry I misspoke on calling it income. What we would like to have happen is it itemized on our 2021 water operating reports below  the income section and above expenditure section as Retained earnings water operating  $5000.00. I believe it was in 2019 that we had Liz identify $19,000 plus as such also because we were going to expend money directly against that chunk of change.  Same plan for the $5000.00 this year.  It was the basis for Board’s decision to pull money from Columbia and put it in a CD with Alliance for the intervening time period due to the uniqueness of the money.

>> Good Morning Dawn,

>> The funds from the CD that matured are not income for this year. This is money that the Association already had which is listed on the Balance Sheet.  When the funds were in the CD, they were already classified as Water Operating funds. This is reported as retained earnings, not new income for this year except for any of the interest earned. Liz has classified the interest as income for the year in which it was earned.

>> Hii Stephanie.  just a  note.. On Feb reports it shows  the $5000.00 AAB  CD matured and plus interest was transferred into Alliance Bank acct # —–2425 water operating.   Thank you.  It also needs to be added to our 2021 water operating budget  and reports as misc income(?).

>> The Board’s intent was to expend it this current year on water system

>> needs. Thanks, Dawn
