  13. Budget Progression

  14. MAJOR CHALLENGES IN 2006 ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS COLLECTION OF DUES CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM FOR EAGLE CROSSING. BUDGETED AMOUNT OF $10,300 IS BASED ON CURRENT WRITE-OFFS PLUS ADDITIONAL BASED ON CURRENT COLLECTION REPORTS. BOARD CONTINUES TO REVIEW POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES TO IMPROVE SITUATION. NEW ATTORNEY HIRED – 120 ACCOUNTS PLACED WITH ATTORNEY. PRIOR ATTORNEY STILL WORKING 57 ACCOUNTS. TOTAL OF 177 ACCOUNTS PLACED WITH ATTORNEY’S BOARD IS CONSIDERING INTIATING FORECLOSURE ON HOMES WITH DELINQUENT DUES.

  15. MAJOR CHALLENGES IN 2006 ALLOWANCE FOR UNCOLLECTIBLE ACCOUNTS DELINQUENCY RATE OF APPROXIMATELY 20% IS WAY TOO HIGH!! IDEAL RANGE: 3 – 5% HOPEFULLY, TOUGHER ACTION (FORECLOSURE OR THE THREAT OF FORECLOSURE WILL HELP BRING DELINQUENCIES IN LINE. AS NEIGHBORHOOD TURNS OVER, WHICH WE SHOULD SEE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, NEW HOMEOWNERS SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO AFFORD HOMES, INCLUDING HOA DUES, REDUCING THE DELINQUENCY RATE. WITH GARNISHMENTS, HOMES SOLD, CASH FROM DELINQUENT BORROWERS WILL COME IN SITUATION WILL IMPROVE.

  16. IMPACT FOR 2007 AND BEYOND RESERVE FUNDING SET WILL ALLOW BOARD TO BUDGET FOR LARGE EXPENDITURES WITHOUT THE NEED FOR A SPECIAL ASSESSMENT. IF BOARD CHANGES FUNDING STRATEGY, MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN DUES. CHANGING FROM A PERCENTAGE INCREASE METHOD TO A FIXED CONTRIBUTION. WILL HELP FACILITATE THE PREPARATION OF A LONG-TERM BUDGET FOR PLANNING PURPOSES. DELINQUENCIES DEPENDING ON SUCCESS OF COURT ACTION AND COLLECTION, MAY NEED TO INCREASE ALLOWANCE ACCOUNT, RESULTING IN AN INCREASE IN DUES.

  17. IMPACT FOR 2007 AND BEYOND FUTURE OF HOA DUES $400 LIKELY NOT CEILING OF DUES. MORE LIKELY IN THE $450 - $500 RANGE, ALTHOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL. CANNOT “CAP” DUES BECAUSE EXPENSES ARE NOT CAPPED. BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE DID A STUDY OF SIMILAR NEIGHBORHOODS TO DETERMINE THEIR FEE STRUCTURE AND COMPARED TO OURS.

  18. IMPACT FOR 2007 AND BEYOND HOA DUES COMPARISON SAMPLED 11 HOA’S OF THE ELEVEN SAMPLED: • FOUR HAD ONE POOL • EIGHT HAD PONDS • THREE HAD PLAYGROUNDS (ALL HAD JUST ONE) • TWO HAD WALKING TRAILS DUES RANGED FROM $190 IN HOA’S THAT HAD NO AMENITIES TO $600 IN HOA’S THAT HAD ONE POOL AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF COMMON AREA GRASS. MOST COMMUNITIES WERE IN THE $350 TO $400 RANGE WITH LIMITED COMMON AREA AMENITIES. EAGLE CROSSING HAD MORE ACRES OF COMMON AREA GRASS, MORE MILES OF WALKING TRAILS, MORE POOLS, MORE PLAYGROUNDS AND MORE HOMES THAN MOST, IF NOT ALL THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS. YET, OUR DUES WERE IN THE SAME RANGE AS THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR AMENITIES.

  19. IMPACT FOR 2007 AND BEYOND HOA DUES COMPARISON

  20. IMPACT FOR 2007 AND BEYOND • LOOK AT NATIONAL AND LOCAL HOUSING MARKET • MORE HOMES FOR SALE THAN BUYERS • NOT ISOLATED TO EAGLE CROSSING/CP MORGAN HOMES • EARLY IN THE LIFE OF EAGLE CROSSING • MANY HOMES FOR SALE • FORECLOSURE/BANKRUPTCY • DISSATISFACTION WITH NEIGHBORS/NEIGHBORHOOD • DIVORCE • JOB TRANSFER

  21. …AND BEYOND??? • EARLY IN THE LIFE OF EAGLE CROSSING (CONT’D) • PART OF NORMAL CYCLE FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION NEIGHBORHOODS • TREND MAY CONTINUE BEFORE STABILITY IS SEEN • BRANCHES
