2006 General Operations Budget
Enclosed is our proposal for our operations budget for 2006. Please note the following - the cash position for the
Association has been in negative numbers for the last year. Costs are escalating and we need to balance debts and receipts.
We also need to bring our Manager’s Salary in line with other comparable positions in the Valley; we need to allow
sufficient funds for road maintenance, and to plan for higher costs in everything from paper to postage. The only way we
can do this is to raise our Association dues to $350/year; an increase of $100/year.
Upcoming Events, etc. for 2006
We are nearly complete with our major Water Project that was begun this year. The only work remaining is to correct a
couple of unexpected problems, none of which will affect water availability during the winter, and to finish the cleanup.
We had to suspend operations when we received our first substantial snowfall, making work too dangerous to complete. The
contractor will be returning in early spring to finish the work.
Home construction
This last year we had five new homes built in Pine Forest, bringing our total to 75. We are aware of at least 5 more due
for construction in 2006 – and perhaps more will yet be built.
