GREENBELTCOMMITTEE

Greenbelt Committee

• Master sprinkler valve replaced.

• Emerald Ash Borer Treatment – roughly

half the trees treated every other year

• Planted 5 New Trees

• Garden Committee

– Refurbish beds on volunteer basis

– Work more closely with Greenbelt company

New valve

dramatically

increased

flow. Can

now water

multiple

zones at a

time,

avoiding

watering in

the heat of

the day.

See listing control pedestal? Goal is to replace and upgrade to

‘smart’ controller.

PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2021 - 2022

2021 – 2022Budget

• 2019 was a “deficit spend” year, paid for

by previous years’ surpluses and a

modest dues increase.

• 2020 was intended to catch us up. But

no budget meeting meant fall back to

previous year’s budget. See above point.

• Collected significant back dues.

• Deferred fence replacement payment.

2021 – 2022Budget

• $50/year dues increase.

• Water usage and rates on the rise.

• The need for a sprinkler system

replacement fund is real and urgent.

• Fully funding sprinkler system and fence

replacement funds.

• Ensures healthy operating reserves.

2021 – 2022Budget

• Water Issues

• We are actively looking for ways to

decrease water usage and, in the process,

secure some grant money from Northern

Colorado Water.

• Denied a grant in 2021, but we will try

again in 2022.

This is what we’re trying to

avoid.
