Budget Meeting
- Call to Order: The Wissler Ranch HOA annual budget meeting was called to order at 10:00 m. via a Cisco Webex virtual format due to COVID-19 restrictions.
– The proposed budget was based on the Board of Directors’ vote to increase annual dues to $275 effective for 2022. The focus of the budget continues to be building adequate capital reserves to maintain and replace our 20-year-old infrastructure. Kathleen gave a detailed review of each line item.
– Due to the virtual format, a poll was created for those in attendance to vote ‘yes’ for ratification, ‘no’ to keep the 2021 budget until a 2022 budget passes. There were nine attendees; eight voted in favor, one abstained. The 2022 budget was ratified.
