In April 2010 a Survey Ballot of the Silver Springs Community received a 100% vote from the property owners in the affirmative on Item 5- “I vote all Boards’ Minutes and Budgets are the property of the property owners, are to be posted promptly, and exhibit fiduciary duty and transparency of all issues.”

Annual Budgets

Bookkeeper: Robyn Bailey

There has never been a certified complete audit of the MHOA Accounts since the beginning in 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.  Bookkeeper claims her computer crashed a couple times.  She has no hardcopies of monthly statements.

Early 2010- The MA has collected approximately one million dollars from the homeowners for summer mowing of the two Park areas, for maintenance of the one (+ one private) tennis courts, and for the Large Lake.  That breaks down to See Budgets for more details.
Also see Detail of Annual SSMA Income and Expenditures.

 

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 MA manager did not keep copies of all bank statements, etc.). Plus as much as $50,000 for a certified audit.  This audit was be completed without cost to the MA by two Community Members, Tracey Phillips and Steve LoRe, who have accounting experience.
This audit was inconclusive as it covered only the last couple years.  Not all documentation was available.  There was no documentation for the $80,000 CD (Wells Fargo?) that was set aside in 2003 and now there is no accounting of it.
