March 20, 2020 Leisure World News | 5 Budget Basics Part III: Understanding Mutual Operations and the Management and Operating Agreements by Leisure World News Previously in Leisure World News: Feb 7: “Part I – Understanding Your Monthly Homeowner Payment and the Budget That Determines It” Feb 21: “Part II – Understanding the Budget’s Community Facilities Fee”. In this third installment of “Budget Basics,” let’s examine another part of the budget: mutual operations and the Management and Operations (M&O) agreements.

DIRECT EXPENSES $$$ Part of the mutual portion of the assessment is retained by the mutual to cover its direct expenses, such as:

• utilities (water and electricity) • insurance • beautification (signs, plantings, etc.) • Reserves (replacement and repair of major exterior components, such as replacement of a roof or sidewalk)

Asphalt is replaced in one of the mutuals, courtesy photo

COMBINED MUTUAL EXPENSES Another part of the assessment’s mutual portion goes toward paying for services that have been contracted through a Management and Operations (M&O) agreement the mutual has signed with Leisure World of Maryland Corporation. These M&O agreements vary by mutual, but often include:

• landscaping • accounting • support services (human resources, information technology)

The Leisure World Community Corporation (LWCC) budget allocates to each mutual its share of the expense for these A McFall and Berry Inc. employee trims grass in one of the mutuals. Photo services. by Leisure World News

This is the third article in a short series of articles about understanding the Leisure World Community Corporation budget, how it’s developed, what it entails, and how it determines a portion of your monthly payments to your mutual. In time for the start of the community’s budget development for 2021, the next and final article will examine how the Leisure World Community Corporation (LWCC) advisory committees, LWCC board of directors and management work together on this effort every year.
