The financial report for the month of July 2021 was not available for review by the Executive Finance Committee and staff prior to our special open session Master Board meeting held Aug. 16. The following analysis is based solely on my preliminary review of the data shown in the report. July marks the fourth month of our fiscal year and reflects one-third of our annual operations. July revenue is below projections by less than $400, mainly due to less interest income from our investments. Expenses for the month were lower than projected by $65,000, with the majority of the savings coming from water costs on the golf course (currently under renovation) and contracted staffing costs due to vacancies. Over-budget items include multi-peril insurance costs, emergency tree and contracted tree services and natural gas costs at the Clubhouse. Year-to-date, we have extra income of about $600 and reduced expenses of $177,000 for a difference from budget of $178,000 and an actual surplus of $96,000 compared to a budgeted loss of $82,000. Overall, our revenue is about as expected and our expenses are 6.65 percent below our prediction year-to-date. Most of those savings, as mentioned before, are due to less water costs for irrigation, and less staffing costs due to vacancies. The financial condition of the Association is healthy at this point. Inflation will present our most significant challenge moving forward. Post pandemic economic recovery by most businesses will surely entail increased costs for most of our goods and services. Labor costs will rise as employers pay increased wages to retain employees and to entice new employees. Expenditures will be closely monitored to provide a sound basis for our budgetary process for fiscal year 2022. | OHCC LIVING | SEPTEMBER 2021 | 5 Treasurer's Report By Bob Fisher, OHCC Treasurer The Board met in special session on Aug. 16 and • Approved the report of the Executive Finance Committee of July 20, 2021 • Approved the June, 2021 abbreviated financial report • Approved fund transfers exceeding $10,000 • Wrote off as uncollectible a bad debt of $517 • Approved recording of two liens • Approved the front entry renovation project to include a new monument sign, new plantings and modification of the median • Referred proposed Rules language regarding like-for-like repairs to legal counsel • Approved a revision to the water allocation formula between the Master Association and the Village of Hydra effective 4/1/2021 • Approved the Landscape Committee's tree trimming and removal recommendations • Tabled a request for golf course slope replanting • Rejected an appeal requesting the withdrawal of an ARC condition on a project • Approved the use of the Overflow Parking Lot by the Paper Crafting Club for a craft fair on Oct. 16 • Approved the use of the Overflow Parking Lot by the Garden Club during the Sept. 18 Flea Market event • Approved the recommendation of the Golf Course Committee to purchase new tee signs, tee markers and divot boxes at a total cost of $11,523.66 • Tabled a request from clubs for additional storage areas • Approved the flea market sale and/or donation of select Music Room items • Reviewed correspondence and solicited member comments on the existing masking policy for indoor common areas The Board met in a special executive session on Aug. 16 to discuss legal matters, third party contracts and disciplinary matters.
