Miscellaneous Notes:
7/30/2007
Joe and Terri,  I need your suggestions and comments to continually improve our budget projections.
  Village Fiscal Year Quarterly Breakdown:
    -Q1 July/Aug/Sep
    -Q2 Oct/Nov/Dec
    -Q3 Jan/Feb/March
    -Q4 April/May/June
General rule of thumb for spreadsheet
   -If the font is colored is should not be changed
   -Balances are propagated from one month to the next
   -Monthly Assessment fees all reference the Unit Tab
   -Need date in file name
   -Unit Owner names all reference the Unit tab
   -Change the date on the Village Finical spreadsheet each time it is saved
   -Change the date on the Unit, budget tab if modified
   -Change Expense categories only from budget tab
   -Do not modify the owner name on the monthly tabs, Unit tab updates all
   -Keep all tabs saved in the A1 position
   -Avoid using Misc. expense
2007 / 2008 Specific Notes:
Pls find attached Village 2006/2007 fiscal year spreadsheet file 'VillageBudget2007.2008_000007.xls'.
Zeroed out spreadsheet, will need to be seeded with the closing numbers from the 2006/2007 fiscal.
Updated the budget  tab with 2007/2008 budget numbers, approved at 06/30/07 Annual owner meeting
Pls use the Misc. notes box to keep all comments in same place, can be edited month -- New 2006/2007
Assoc. fees changed for 4 bedroom units from $1,068.58 to 1,068.62, all other unit fees stayed the same
06/30/07 Survey Billing Cycle Changes
125 Hempey MON to QTR
327 Williams MON to QTR
328 Brigham QTR to MON
Updated Unit owner names
The assessment fees have been updated and  have changed for all owners, as insurance cost has gone down and Assoc. fees went up
Water and Sewer Expense category now is Storm Water Permit
Things We Miss:
Keep all tabs saved in the A1 position, causes issues when posting to web
Avoid using Misc. expense
Property Agent 10% should be included with repair cost, not split out, not in prop agent fees
Fire Sprinkler repair and monitor cost should be split out
General Usage Info:
Only change owner names, assessment costs, and insurance cost from the unit tab, these values will be automatically pushed out to the monthly tabs.
If the unit tab is updated, ie new owner, change the date upper left corner, in this way we have revision history
Change all expense categories from budget tab only, will propagate to other months - new for 2006/2007
Use the comments on the budget tab as guidelines to what costs should go in what category.
Avoid using Misc. expense
Keep in mind bank loan is Bank payment + Contractor payment
Keep repair and monitoring/inspection/fixed cost split out on fire sprinkler expenses.
If the font is in color, we should probably not be changing it
File Naming Conventions:
Note the last portion of the file name is a date, this portion of the file name should change with each distribution of the spreadsheet.
This is important for disaster recovery and for my archiving of the documents.
Keep all tabs saved in the A1 position.
