Treasurer's Report

Sally reviewed the finances of the community. The income for November was $13,437.43 while the expenses were $26,626.92. Therefore, the was a negative net income of ($13,189.49). The reason for the large negative net income was a result of having two (2) reserve amounts paid to the reserve account. There was not enough money in the checking account in October, so in November, the community paid both months. In addition, a tree at 3110 Laurel Valley Drive that was in the common area and was dead had to be removed. This tree was hanging over a homeowner's home and the removal was a necessity. This cost was $1,680. A check was also written to Smart Street (for the bill paying center and new bank account) to open up the new bank account. All monies will now be paid to this new account and should help with the processing of checks in a timelier manner.
