Consideration of Resolution 2022-07 Adopting the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget and Relating to the Annual Appropriations
Mr. Showe: This resolution adopts the Fiscal Year 2023 budget, which will be attached to the resolution as Exhibit A. The final adopted budget will include whatever changes the Board makes today. We sent out mailed notices to all the homeowners of the proposed increase in assessments. Since that time, we were able to reduce some of those expenses. The prior proposed budget had increases between $209 and $502 and this has reduced that increase to $183 and $439. The largest driver of the proposed increase was the landscaping costs and some maintenance costs to cover new areas we anticipate coming online. The Board went through an extensive bidding process for that new area so we know we have a competitive price and that amount was placed in the budget.
Mr. Madlang: We talked quite a bit at the last meeting about the landscape and things that were driving this. Can you tell us with the perspective of the other communities that you manage if this is similar to what you are seeing there?
Mr. Showe: It is similar especially for a community of this size and where you are in development. We had one yesterday that the assessment doubled kind of the same situation, a large portion of the community is coming online and with that you have additional water concerns as well as streetlights and landscaping. There is a misconception that some people have that as new

homes come online revenues go up but we assess based on the whole plan so we know going in what our base is and as costs go up the assessment goes up to cover those costs.
