Item 01 · Treasurer's Report

Cash hits a new all-time high.

Total cash reached $5.22M, a new all-time high. Reserves eased to $4.25M as June bond maturities settle and reinvest. June posted $4,792 net income — the second straight solid month and the fourth improving month in a row. The YTD shortfall narrowed again, and the year still projects to about a $63,000 surplus on a budget that was set for breakeven.

If you only read one paragraph

Total cash is now $5.22M — a new all-time high — with reserves at $4.25M after June bond maturities (reinvestment in progress). June's net income of $4,792 is the second straight solid month and trimmed the YTD shortfall to ($18,799). New insurance saves us about $53K a year, our bond portfolio is paying roughly 49% more interest than budget, and the year still projects to a ~$63,000 surplus versus a breakeven budget.

One item is now urgent: three chronic units owe $129,626 in 90+ day balances, up $21,242 in June alone. Legal escalation needs authorization tonight.

Note — 2025 Audit Adjustments Posted in May

The 2025 audited financial statements were received and adjusting entries posted in May 2026. This affects several May line items including income taxes (reversed $9,245), bad debt allowance (increased to $55,791), prior year expense (reversed $10,669), and fund balance (adjusted down $55,389). These are accounting corrections, not operational changes.

02 Year-End Projection

Budget was breakeven
Projected Year-End Surplus — FY2026
~$63,000

Budget called for breakeven. Insurance savings and reserve interest remain the main positive drivers. Water & sewer running progressively over budget has pulled the projected surplus down from last month's ~$85K view, but the year still finishes comfortably in the black.

03 Reserve Interest — Owner Impact

$3.19M portfolio · 396 units
Per-Unit Value · Bond Portfolio Income
Per Unit / Year
$338.00
Average reserve-interest income earned on behalf of every unit across the 396-unit association — effectively offsetting that much in annual carrying cost.
Total annual portfolio income$133,849
Budgeted$90,000
Over budget+$43,849
Per-unit surplus vs. budget+$110.73
Underlying portfolio$3.19M bonds
Unit count396

$133,849 รท 396 units = $338.00 per unit per year. Investment-grade corporate bonds pay semi-annually, so the income arrives in lump sums — full-year run-rate is locked in. The $43,849 above budget is roughly $110.73 per unit of pure surplus the FY2026 budget did not assume.

05 What's Working

Favorable this year
Insurance — Confirmed
New Policies Saving $53K This Year
$39,956

June insurance was $39,956 vs a $56,250 budget — $16,295 favorable and the lowest month of the year. The new property policy ($264K/yr) plus the liability package are fully in effect. Full year projects to $622,003 vs $675,000 budget = $52,997 in savings.

Electricity — VFD Systems
$48,532 Under Budget Year to Date
$143,968

VFD systems on AC equipment and domestic water pumps keep delivering. YTD $143,968 vs $192,500 budget = $48,532 under. Management and Maintenance Supervisor Julio are evaluating garage lighting upgrades as the next efficiency project.

Gas — Resolved
3x Overcharge Fixed — Now Under Budget
$84,900

The city confirmed and reversed an earlier 3x PGA overcharge. YTD gas is $84,900 vs $87,500 budget = $2,600 under, with June posting a small ($1,019) credit. Pool and water-heater settings were adjusted to cut summer consumption.

Operating Cash
Strongest Month of the Year
$593,714

Ending operating cash jumped $139,020 in June to $593,714 — the strongest of FY2026. Adjusted operating cash of $353,413 is also the healthiest all year, giving the association a comfortable working-capital cushion.

06 Items to Watch

Needs attention
Water & Sewer
Now the Biggest Budget Problem
($41,891) YTD

June $64,523 vs $44,167 budget — ($20,356) for the month, the third straight elevated month (Apr $81K, May $56K, Jun $64K). YTD $351,060 vs $309,169 = ($41,891) over. No longer a timing issue — management owes a real explanation and corrective plan.

Delinquencies
90+ Days Jumped to $129,626
3 Units

Three chronic units drive the balance. The 90+ day balance rose $21,242 in June (from $108,384); maintenance fees 90+ alone are $103,519. New counsel is engaged and moving — foreclosure is being authorized on the strongest case, with amenity suspension under FL Statute 718.303(4) also available. Unit-level detail is withheld here; see Section 09.

Trash Removal
Steady 27% Over Budget
($15,989) YTD

June $10,619 vs $8,333 budget. YTD $74,320 vs $58,331 = ($15,989) over. A confirmed city rate increase was not captured in the budget; at this pace we finish ~$25K over the $100K annual line. To be corrected in the FY2027 budget.

Reserve Cash — Explainable Dip
Down $81,711 on Bond Maturities
$4.25M

Reserves eased from $4,331,056 to $4,249,345 as the Lennar ($100K) and HCA ($150K) bonds matured in June (~$250K). Reinvestment is in progress — not a concern, but confirm it is completed.

09 Collection & Legal Status

Delinquency enforcement · anonymized
Decisive action underway

The Association has retained new legal counsel, who has taken over every open collection and foreclosure file and filed substitutions of counsel in the litigated matters. Ten case files across eight delinquent units are now consolidated into a single, actively managed portfolio — and the Board is authorizing foreclosure on the Association's strongest case now.

Unit-level detail — owners, unit numbers, and case numbers — is intentionally withheld from this posting and is available to the Board in the confidential attorney status report dated July 22, 2026.

Foreclosure — Decisive Action
Board Authorizing Foreclosure Now
1 Unit

The Association's strongest case: a recorded lien, no competing bank foreclosure, and no bankruptcy stay — the one matter where the Association fully controls the timing and the outcome. Authorization to foreclose has been transmitted, and the Board is authorizing foreclosure now. New counsel is moving it forward without delay.

Recovered
Two Accounts Paid in Full
2 Units

Two delinquent accounts were collected in full. One owner wired the entire balance in June and the funds were disbursed to the Association in July; the second cleared its assessment account in April. Both collection files are closed.

Active Litigation
Two Foreclosure Hearings — August 2026
2 Units

Two units are tied to bank mortgage-foreclosure suits in which the Association is defending its lien position. Both have court hearings calendared in August 2026 — one on a motion to strike, one on summary judgment. New counsel has appeared and is actively litigating both.

Senior Mortgages
Two Units Behind First Mortgages
Safe Harbor

Two units sit behind senior first mortgages; one is in Chapter 7 bankruptcy under an automatic stay. Recovery is limited by Florida Statute 718.116 to the statutory “safe harbor.” New counsel is re-recording lapsed liens and monitoring the bankruptcy so no collectible dollar is lost.
