In an effort to control the budget level and resulting assessment, the Board of INCREASE THE FEE FOR BOAT BERTH RENTAL: Directors and management team are evaluating some ideas to enhance revenue. Each year for at least the last 10 years there has been a long waiting list to An important concern that members share, is the impact of the Association’s rent a boat berth at the Marina. In 2016 this list exceeded 100 for a pontoon budget on the level of their annual assessment. boat slip and 60 for a ski boat slip. Without the ability to add additional slips In order to help control the impact of the budget on the overall assessment, the demand for this item far exceeds the available supply. Using basic economic it is necessary to look for ways to increase the amount of revenue generated in principles it is appropriate to increase the fee for this service. The increase is order to offset the ever increasing level of expenses. Obviously, consideration justifiable as it serves to offset the costs involved in maintaining, operating is given to balancing the needs and wants of the membership, with the cost to and servicing the Marina dock slip area. A 20% increase in fees would generate operate, maintain, and manage all amenities, common areas and community over $14,000 in additional revenue based on the 2016 actual results. as a whole.

This rule is in place for many reasons including insurance and revenue implications. Estimated Revenue Enhancement:...... $14,500 Approximately 80-85% of public and semi-private golf courses prohibit players from bringing outside food and beverage (coolers) onto the course. Many are very strict and violation could lead to expulsion from the course. If IMPOSE A FEE FOR USE OF THE COMPOST AREA: such a policy were to be instituted at PMLA a conservative estimate of increased Each year the compost area receives over 8,400 visits from property owners who sales volume would be 50%. dispose of more than 22,000 yards of green waste material at the site. The cost Using the 2016 Budget as a baseline a 50% increase in volume would translate to maintain and staff this facility along with the added expense of grinding and to additional sales of more than $33,000 per year. removing this waste now exceeds $120,000 and is likely to increase as the volume increases and the cost and availability of disposal sites becomes more problematic.

There is no charge to these groups for recoup some of these costs. A charge of $5 per yard of material disposed of beyond this use per Resolution 01.05.
