Treasurer / Nominating Committee report from Brad

• FY25 budget versus actual was reviewed; Finances are in good shape, and 100% of Membership in good standing

• Presented and discussed FY26 Budget; lengthy discussion on drainage related work required and the approach for funding 

  • Assessment work done using robotic camera to determine condition of existing buried metal corrugate rain run-off drain lines; several areas where the bottom of the drain line has fully dissolved; no member objection regarding need for remediation

  • Multiple motions made & discussed for funding since preliminary $75k cost estimates exceed current and projected available reserves; different suggestions were offered, including phased funding and execution approach, a fully funded commitment that would necessitate a special assessment, or an option that would reallocate existing earmarked reserves

  • After lengthy discussions, the following motion was approved to address the drainage project funding: Replace approximately 400 feet of corroded 24 inch steel drainage pipe and structures existing in the Grove, across Far Echo Road and up the Deer Path which is estimated to cost up to $75,000.00; $42,000 was approved as part of the proposed FY26 budget, with $7,200 (rounded) from Line Item 910 and $35,000 from Homeowner Expected Reserve

  • This funding arrangement is expected to provide a path forward enabling refined planning & vendor contracting activity, as well as initiation of physical repair work; it is anticipated that a point will be reached where additional contract commitments will be required, and at such time as further clarity on projected costs become available, the Board and Membership agreed to accept a call for a Special Membership Meeting as required to determine method for further funding

• Addition of a budget line item for discretionary fund, managed in accordance with the By-Laws, was presented and discussed, and ultimately agreed with the approval of the FY 26 Budget
