Pat Burns, Lot 1194, thanked the volunteers that worked hard on replacing the flooring in the Clubhouse. He asked if the economy is affecting the association and asked the Directors to prepare for this during the Budget Workshop that's coming up in the near future. 

 

Treasurer Zoeller stated that the cash position for the end of February is slightly less than same time last year. Monthly Net Cash from Operations showed a little bit of loss in different areas on the graph. The aggregate for the year started with a large positive cash flow. This is starting to shrink. Percentage of annual billings collected through February 2006 we collected 92.4% of billed. Last year we had 87.7%. We have collected 83.7% this year. A discussion took place regarding the numbers for the Café and Blue Heron. GM Neveu stated that the loss comes from lower banquet revenues. He stated that we're already starting to see better results from the Clubhouse remodel.

 

Mr. Wilson mentioned that he has seen other restaurants and vendors suffering greatly from this economy. This also hurts security. He stated that he was impressed with the last Madera County Event Summary. From Feb. 17th – Mar. 15th, total calls from the Madera County Sheriff's Dept. in YLP were 39. Security calls: 1 burglary, foreclosed homes being vandalized and 396 house checks during this period. Our community is doing well, but with the economy worsening and unemployment rates growing, it is anticipated that incidents relating to violence and alcohol may increase. Secretary McDonough stated that at this trying time, we will be looking for our security to be even more helpful. Mr. Wilson responded that they will rise to the occasion with the help of our community.
