2017 Financial Report

As you may recall, at Lakeport’s Annual Meeting we reported that our year-end net income was projected to be over $15,000. Rather than add all of this very large surplus to an operating reserve that was already over $23,400 (more than double the $9,840 recommended by the industry standard), the Board decided to address deferred maintenance by spending unused Repair & Maintenance funds to replace streetlight bulbs, ballasts, and photo cells and unused Landscaping & Watering funds to add new dogwood and arborvitaes and remove additional dead trees and the juniper stumps next to Triangle Park. In addition, the Board decided it would be prudent to have Lakeport’s attorney and the dock engineer review the two final dock proposals and to charge all dock-related professional services to Operating instead of Replacement Reserves.

After taking these additional expenses into account, we finished the year with a net income of $7,047 (see details below), which together with surpluses from prior years, increases our total operating reserves to $30,500 (now over triple the $9,840 industry standard). The year-end balance for Replacement Reserves (the source of funding for the upcoming dock and bollard projects) was $191,107.41. As of December 31, 2017, Total Cash and Investments totaled $230,268.16.
