MA - Budgets
Silver Springs MASTER Homeowners Association
Annual Budgets
Bookkeeper: Robyn Bailey
There has never been a certified audit of the MHOA Accounts since 1990.
Particularly since early 2008 there have been numerous requests made to the MHOA bookkeeper for disclosures of accounts. To date the meager spreadsheets for 2006 to 2009 are all that have been provided.
Early 2010- The MA has collected approximately one million dollars from the homeowners for summer mowings of the two Park areas, for maintenance of the one (+ one private) tennis courts, and for the Large Lake. See Budgets for more details.
March 2010- The MA is looking at a $5,000 expenditure to Wells Fargo to find and deliver the MA banking records from the bank’s database (The manager did not keep copies of bank statements, etc.). Plus as much as $50,000 for a certified audit. This audit may be completed without cost to the MA by two Community Members who have accounting experience.

In 2005 there were 13 subdivisions representing 504+2 residential units.
Each unit was assessed $75 + a $100 increase = $175 annually
Annual assessment income was $88,550
This year there was also a Special Assessment levied for lake clean-up:
Spec. Assess for 126 Condos @ $180 each = $22,680
Spec. Assess for 322 Sngl Fam @ $225 ea. = $74,700
Spec. Assess for 56 lakeview lots @ $270 ea. = $15,120
2005 INCOME:
Total Assessment $112,500 + $32,000 Mtn. Regional + $88,550 = $201,050
Past Savings in Reserve: $49,766 + Checking bal. $25,067 = $74,833.
It appears that around $275,000 was in AR and collected in 2005 - 2006 MA Proposed Budget
