Q: A member had questions on labor overruns, CDs and interest earnings for December. A: The Board has directed management to look for efficiencies with all areas of the HOA. Staff will be providing updates to the Board on labor actuals vs budget. During the fourth quarter of 2019, there was not many bank CDs available on the market. To ensure we had safe investments earning interest, funds were invested in Treasury Bills. The transfer that occurred in the fourth quarter also resulted in less interest earnings for the month. Further, interest rates on CDs declined during the fourth quarter.
