FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	of	Fiscal	Year	2026
Proposed Budget

Mr. Laughlin stated the discussion last year was that the amenity center would be open sometime in the summer and we added in operations and maintenance. We will have a pretty hefty carry over surplus and we can use that to balance some of it, but we are looking at besides the amenity center, pool maintenance, pool chemicals, staffing and janitorial, landscaping, annuals, mulching are things to consider.
Mr. Green asked whose responsibility is it to mow the right of way and keep up with the landscaping?
Mr. Laughlin stated that would be done through this board. If we are at that point we can start getting proposals. A lot of times the developer will work with the landscape company in the installation and sometimes they will carry over with that one or they have a landscape company they work with. I have seen some districts where they have one landscape company do the main install and maintenance is taken over by another. There are certain dollar thresholds for a formal bid and for landscaping it is $195,000. If you are under that then it is informal, and you can pick a company. There is also any type of onsite presence to consider as the development builds out you need boots on the ground. We have a landscape contingency line that would cover things outside the scope of the landscape contract. There is lake maintenance to keep the algae down and things like that and they usually handle stocking the ponds as well. These are items that are budgeted but at a low amount. Field ops is something you can start with one day a week or twice a month to have someone onsite and they would monitor the landscape and lake maintenance contractors to make sure they are doing their job. I can get proposals from my company to give you an idea of the cost. For the amenity center you have property insurance, facility management, pool maintenance, chemicals, permits.
Before the next meeting we will set up a call and go over plans.
