Hi Craig,

The proposed budget was presented to all owners at the AGM which was voted on at the meeting and approved.  Attached is the agenda that was presented to all owners prior to the meeting and clearly shows a proposed increase.

As I advised at the meeting the amount proposed for the sinking fund was as per the sinking fund plan but whether you adopted that figure was up to the owners corporation as it was a big increase on last year.  This is when we had the discussion about special levies and how it is better to increase over the years rather than have special levies.

Regards,

Maxine Wickey

Hello Maxine,
Would you please provide me an answer to the email I recently sent you in which I enquired as to why/who increased the levies without approval by the EC.  I don't have all the documentation with me while I am away, however, I seem to remember that the budget for the year ending 2014 was actually lower than the actual for 2013, shown in the accounts distributed at the recent AGM.
Was this not the case?  I look forward to your response on both matters.
Thank you and regards,
Craig Laforest

Dear Committee,


I have attached the proposed budget, the sinking fund plan and the general ledger for the financial period so far.


Please note that there is $81,143.93 in the income being the money owed by the BMC but as discussed at the meeting the owners corporation owes levies to the BMC.  They are showing as having been charged to the owners corporation however the transfer of funds have not been done.  I am in the process of transferring the funds between the two accounts.  I will advise once I have completed this.


The main area that you will be able to increase the levies is the sinking fund  As per the attached sinking fund plan the amount that was adopted at the meeting being $38,147.77 was the amount suggested by the report yet last year only $5,000.00 plus GST was put into the sinking fund which was less than the report recommended.


I will go through each line item for the Administration fund comparing the budget and the general ledger so far only being a third of the way through your financial year:

After only 4 months of the financial year 48.49% of the administration budget has already been expended.

No sinking fund expenses as of yet.


I hope this helps with the revision of the budget.
