Operating Budget, lines 14–22 + Reserve Study summary
Amenity-heavy operating budget masks reserve gap
- What we found
- Operating budget allocates $890K to amenities (clubhouse, pool, golf, racquet) but only $148K/year to reserves against a $4.2M 10-year capital schedule. Reserve study (5 years old) recommends $245K/year.
- Why it matters
- Amenity-heavy associations in master-planned Arizona communities often run dues current while reserves drift. The gap shows up as a special assessment 3–5 years out.
- What to ask
- When did the board last refresh the reserve study? What's the explicit funding-plan path back to 100%?
