Budget Finance Committee:
The Finance Committee activates each fall to assist with preparation of the capital and operating budgets for the following year. After the Managing Agent prepares an initial proposed Capital Budget with a multi-year capital spending Look Ahead Schedule, the Finance Committee reviews them in a first meeting of the budget cycle, and suggests potential changes. After any requested adjustments are made to the Capital Budget, and an initial proposed Operating Budget is prepared by the Managing Agent, both budgets are typically reviewed by the Finance Committee in a second meeting of the budget cycle. If significant potential changes emerge, the Managing Agent makes them, and additional meetings are held if needed. When ready, the Finance Committee meets with the Board and the Managing Agent to go over draft proposed budgets, and (since the Board is present) typically deals more carefully with on-site staff compensation adjustments for the first time in the budget cycle. Final adjustments to the Overall Budget (i.e., capital and operating budgets) are prepared, with an additional combined Board/Committee meeting only if needed. After the Managing Agent mails the final budget to unit owners, the Finance Committee presents, explains and defends the proposed final budget to the community at an annual Budget meeting held the end of November (or early December if Thanksgiving is too late in November).
