Tammy Bachofner made a motion to update the contingency policy. In the first paragraph, first sentence, the words “for unexpected expenses of the HOA only.” A new paragraph was added which reads: “The targeted Contingency Fund amount should be set annually at 25% of the current year’s budgeted Expenditure figure. This allows for the fluctuation of cost of living and other events as well as meets our Auditors recommendation to continually have at least three full months of operating expense in savings.” Motion passed 6-0.
