Information prepared by Mike Jones, BPOA Treasurer:

 

For the fiscal year FY27-28 (3/1/27 - 2/29/28):

The FY2026-27 Current Operating Budget is $433,300. My current analysis estimates we will spend $422,084 and have $11,216 remaining if no emergencies occur requiring funding.

 

This is the recommended option by the BPOA Board. It has NO dues increase and decreases the budget by $12,286 from the FY26-27 budget of $433,300 down to $421,014. It adjusts the amounts in the different lines to better align the budget with forecasted expenditures. It does increase the salary lines by 3.00% and most other budget lines by 2.7% (for inflation) from my estimated FY26-27 expenditures. It also reduces the budget amount for the transfer to the reserve fund by $10,000, from $20,000 down to $10,000. Additionally, it reduces the contingency fund budget line by $20,000, from $30,000 down to $10,000 as part of our efforts to tighten up the budget. On the income side, we increased the estimated amount of income from late fees, builder fees, rental and interest earned by $12,000 from $20,000 to $32,000 and still accounts for the loss of $44,100 of income from the cancellation of the maintenance contract with the Village of Briarcliff.

 

This is the second option. It does not change the budget total (the normal “B” budget option) from the FY26-27 budget of $433,300 but would require an increase in residential dues by $10 per lot, from $327 to $337 and in commercial dues by $7 per lot, from $773 to $780 to fund that budget. It does adjust the different lines in the budget to better align the budget with forecasted expenditures. On the income side, with the loss of $44,100 of income from the cancellation of the maintenance contract with the Village of Briarcliff, it necessitates the dues increase.
