Set 2020 Assessment Amount

·         Bureau of Labor Statistics changed the Geographic Structure for Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 2018. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton CBSA (Core Based Statistical Area) has been updated to Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, published bimonthly in even months. The metropolitan area covers King, Pierce & Snohomish counties. 

·         The CPI change was 2.2 or 2.1 depending on which report is used.

·         The CC&R's restrict change to "no more than" the CPI change for the prior year.

§  If we vote to change the "dues" for 2020, the maximum increase would be 

§  @2.1%  $67.00 + 1.41 = $68.41           @ 2.2%  $67.00 + 1.47 = $68.47 

·         I recommend that we increase the dues $1.00 to $68.00

If all owners paid, that would only increase annual income by $93.00

·         Dues were increased $1.00 in 2017 and 2018 and increased $2.00 in 2019

·         Please note that we had a net loss in 2019 of over $600 before expenses for park improvement. We did collect $1,013.31 for prior years assessments, interest and fees.

Park Committee

§  Outstanding – The Park Committee is still needing to purchase two “Private Property” signs, a Mutt Mitts box and bags.
