Your $215 in dues plus the $33.91 in cell tower lease income we earn equals $248.91.
Here is where it goes each month:
Another way to think of it is each month our revenues are ~$19,000. $9,000 goes to reserves, the other $10,000 to expenses.
Almost 1/2 of your dues go into reserves which fund our #1 expense, maintaining our privately owned streets.
Landscaping is 2nd, and includes not only the area in front of the gate but the strips going up Butterfield on both sides, as well as sections on White Rock, the corner of Whitewood, and the strips going down the back of Butterfield.
Management (PMC) & accounting is next.
Utilities is mostly water, and water in Poway is expensive.
Common area maintenance includes the front gates, the fire gates, the call box, monuments, walls, and the security cameras.
Taxes & insurance are next.
Coming in last is our social fund that fosters community through events, block parties several times per year, and the annual holiday party.
