FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2021 29 Facilities Committee The Facilities Committee along with representatives from the Safety Committee, Landscape Committee, and FirstService Residential, met at the intersection of Trails C and F to start our meeting last month. The walk-through with members was to discuss the addition of vinyl fencing. After the walk through, the Facilities Committee reconvened in the RCN Conference Room where they voted to reaffirm the purchase of 227 feet of vinyl fencing along Trail C. The committee agreed to purchase 25 new wind-resistant commercial-grade umbrellas from Patio Shoppers. These umbrellas will be purchased and ready to roll out next spring. Cindy Graves gave a presentation on a proposal to revamp the furnishings in The Lodge lobby. After the presentation, the committee voted to accept this project. The Facilities Committee has openings for membership. Members of the community are encouraged to attend our meetings and apply. The committee meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 9 am. ~ Gino Domico, Gdomico@gmail.com Finance Committee The 2022 Budget preparation continues. The Board held a Budget Workshop with the Finance Committee in early October to discuss possibilities for the 2022 Budget Proposal. Work continues towards a final 2022 Budget Proposal that will be heard at the Board's General Session Meeting in November. The 2022 Budget Proposal will include planned expenditures and the recommended monthly dues for each cost center. During the Finance Committee's regular monthly meeting held on Sept. 28, the financial statement for August was reviewed and recommended for Board approval. Highlights of the August financial statement are: Total Cash is $11,002,598 including operating cash of $2,252,400 (checking and CDs) and reserve assets of $8,750,198. Our HOA Reserve is 105.13 percent funded as of August 2021. While there is a total year-to-date (YTD) net income gain $7,190 through Aug. 31, there was a net income loss of $9,566 for the month, primarily due to higher utility bills and landscaping needs. Front Yard Cost Center (FYCC) expenses exceeded the monthly budget by $1,070 primarily due to higher water bills and extra landscaping needs. The FYCC has a YTD net income gain of $51,491 primarily due savings in landscaping and irrigation repair costs. Springdale Cost Center expenses were under budget for the month by $697 due to savings in budgeted insurance costs that have resulted in a YTD net income gain of $6,468. The Committee considered the documentation for eight expenditure proposals, evaluated our current cash position, and reviewed the investment portfolio for items maturing in the next 90 days. All eight expenditure proposals and several new investment instruments were recommended for Board approval. Homeowners are welcome to attend the Finance Committee's regularly scheduled monthly meetings held on the last Tuesday of each month. Our next meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 1 pm.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, I think we all needed that. The Social Committee will not have any events in November as we are getting ready for our awesome New Years Eve party — the biggest event of the year. This year's theme is "All that Glitters." Stay tuned. We appreciate all of your support. ~ Loretta Ramsey, lorettaramsey@aol.com, (714) 803-6744 Social Committee
