A Reserve Study is simply an estimate of future potential costs.And every year the estimates change.And every three years the estimates are reviewed in detail and may change even more.
What was the budget… • Finance Committee estimates • Board president estimates (O. Turner) • Bids • Reserve amounts from 06 to 09 • Project manager estimates
Lesson:Have One Number Separate From Reserves For Any and Every ProjectConfusion ensued from too many numbers discussed for Paint/Siding.
Current Painting and Siding Project • In 2006 Finance Committee recommended to the board that they start to consider an assessment. • In 2007 the FC recommended an assessment of $5,000 for each owner. • This was voted on by the membership and passed.
Cost of Painting and Siding • In 2006 the FC told owners cost of P&S etimated to be $3.4 million. $3,400,000
Finance Committee Presentation to Homeowners Oct 2006 $3,400,000 FROM POWERPOINT PRESENTED TO HOA OCT 06
Cost Estimates • In 2007 the Finance Committee increased that estimate to be $5.5 million. $5,500,000
Key Reserve ExpensesFinance Committee Sept 07 • Painting/Siding • $5.5 million over three years • These are reasonable estimates • Can this be put off? • Siding is deteriorating faster than anticipated • $298,000 needed last fall for emergency repairs • Additional funds will be needed this year for problems recently identified. FROM POWERPOINT PRESENTED TO HOA SEPT 07 $5,500,000
Finance Committee Presentation to Homeowners Sept 2007 $5,500,000 FROM POWERPOINT PRESENTED TO HOA SEPT 07
Crib Notes From Board President • Source: Sept 4, 2007 Word Document • $4,673,500 paint and siding 2008-2010 • $ 290,206 for additional siding for failures – this has been included in the project • TOTAL = $4,963,716 $4,673,500
Bid From Draeger 2007 • $2,145,301 estimate • A Chart of unit charges were included • Everyone expected the costs to be higher than the bids due to problems that would be uncovered as siding was removed. • Draeger was selected for low bid, low unit cost, and ability to use the new ceramic paint. $2,145,301+
Ceramic Paint • Painting Cycles • Nepenthe has not maintained a paint cycle consistently. • This is what caused many of our problems. • Paint lasts 5 years. • Ceramic paint has potential to last 7 to 10 years. If this holds true, we will have saved a lot of money!
DanMark Estimates • February 2007 - $4,129,129 • September 2007 - $4,098,290
Including Fence Gutters, over by 16% Over estimate by 9% These estimates did not include inflation factors!
Projected Final Costs Paint, Siding, and Project Management Fees are 9% or $348,889 more than estimated in 2007. Total Project including above and gutters, fences, and project yard were 16% or $644,817 more than estimated in 2007. However, funds were reserved separately for gutters and fences during this time. WITHOUT INFLATION FACTORS!
