NEWS FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT The financial needs of our 23 year old community continue to increase as our buildings facilities and amenities age These expenses are funded through our annual assessment for both operating expenses and capital reserves Two years ago we conducted a professional three year reserve study that recommended an increase in our annual reserve assessment to 150 000 which we did Over the past four years we have made a serious effort to build our reserves in anticipation of ongoing future capital needs Fortunately we have been able to increase our reserve fund by over 200 000 during that time and as of this writing the balance is approximately 450 000 This year we will have another reserve study performed to give us guidance on our reserve contributions for 2024 2025 and 2026 Over the next few years we know we will be facing significant reserve expenses that will require either an increase in our annual reserve contributions or a special assessment Among those anticipated expenses between now and 2025 and their estimated costs are the following River Club Roof 175 000 Pool furniture 80 000 On demand water heaters 3 20 000 Elevator upgrades to meet code 125 000 Pool resurfacing 40 000 HVAC units 30 000 River Club improvements 100 000 Boat lift dredging and dock replacement 75 000 Playground improvements 50 000 Ongoing Pointe shoreline erosion project 30 000 Exterior painting of River Club 60 000 Our obligation to the community is to maintain our assets in the best possible condition both for safety and to avoid any negative impact on the value of our properties The board of directors will carefully review the expenses and working with the Finance Committee and our General Manager COO ensure that our dollars are spent prudently John Valletta President Treasurer MPOA Board MPOAPresident WaterlefeFL com LEFE LIFE FEBRUARY 2023 5

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS Why Waterlefe is Missing Out on Critical Reserve Funds An HOA capital contribution fee is a one time payment due upon the sale of an HOA member s property The capital contribution is added to the HOA s reserve fund to help pay for future repairs Because the contribution is for future improvements or repairs within the community it s commonly regarded as a buyer s fee While it is very common for HOAs to charge this fee Waterlefe does not What are we losing by not having a capital contribution Capital contributions help maintain the minimum amount for the association s reserve funds and help pay for the future maintenance of buildings shared common spaces amenities and other costly improvements As an added bonus keeping the reserve fund amount high through the capital contribution fee usually means a lower annual assessment fee for the owners The amount of a capital contribution varies depending on the community size and needs It can range from several hundred dollars to several thousand Some may speculate that adding a capital contribution to a buyer s purchase price might chill them from buying a house here Experts in the field say there is no chilling effect for a variety of practical reasons and given that it would benefit all existing owners it just makes sense to have this in place Steve Slocum a long time Waterlefe resident and realtor for dozens of Waterlefe home sales agrees that it is a common practice especially in golf course communities and it would not deter sales here Waterlefe is facing several significant repairs mostly regarding our 23 year old River Club e g new roof elevators pool resurfacing heaters and furniture HVAC units and more Some were budgeted for some big ones are unexpected Once you add up all these costs we see that our current Reserve Fund is too low paying for everything would probably exhaust the fund and it would take time to build it back up This increases the risk of special assessments or higher dues in the future In the last two years 102 homes were sold in Waterlefe As an example if each of those buyers had contributed 3000 less than 1 of the average purchase price our Reserve Fund would have an additional 306 000 available for these costly repairs The MPOA Board does not have the authority to start requiring a capital contribution Our Declaration of Covenants Restrictions and Easements must be amended to provide for capital contributions I support such an amendment This is a critical issue facing Waterlefe Let your voice be heard Contact the MPOA Board of Directors Bruce S Ambrose Director At Large MPOA Board MPOADirector WaterlefeFL com 6 LEFE LIFE FEBRUARY 2023 SOURCES https tinyurl com bdftn5ps https tinyurl com 2urwyvhd https tinyurl com mvjh6sf7 https tinyurl com y9d4ydmk https tinyurl com yx8beu9v https tinyurl com y35zvvzj https tinyurl com 2p9hyw72
