Annual Meeting Recap:

    In a nutshell, the budgets passed and the census has become a rule. Kathy Heseltine is our new Vice President, Art Shea is the new Operations Manager, and Liz Mason and Marianna Casagranda are the two elected at-large board members. The treasurer’s position remained unfilled so the board, at their next meeting, will either appoint Bill Hodgkins, who had termed out after three two-year terms, to another term or ask him to continue as treasurer until someone else agrees to take the position.
    The new regular annual budget requires a rent increase of ten dollars. This is the first increase we have seen in five years. This will start on June 1, 2021. The increase will take place automatically for those with automatic withdrawal.
    Usually, during our annual meetings, we decide how much of our surplus we will transfer to our reserve account. This year we voted to table that decision until several outstanding large bills are received so we can determine just what our surplus might be. Repairs to our aging infrastructure have put us severely over budget and could possibly cause us to show a loss for the first time in six years.

Behind in Rent…

It’s important to know that you live in a cooperative. By their very nature, cooperatives are more forgiving and understanding about things that happen in life that cause financial issues. Home and car repairs, job losses and cutbacks happen in this world and we know that because we’ve been there. <MORE>
