2007 Capital Improvements Program Proposal Open for Comment By- Doug Longhini The Board of Directors at the May 4, 2007 meeting directed that the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) be published to the membership for comments. The Board intends to vote on the program at its July 6, 2007 meeting. To view a complete copy of the document in the member’s only section of the Blackbeard Sailing Club webpage follow this link http://www.blackbeardsailingclub.com/members/bsccip.htm If you do not have the passwords contact one of your board members. There will also be a full copy posted on the table below the bulletin board in the clubhouse. In summary the contents of the program and the assumptions that were used to draft it are: 2007 Capital Improvement Program Ranking in Order of Score Approved by Board 3/2/2007
#These items are planning documents that will determine need for future capital projects. *Capital Reserve Account for Dock and Building Replacement were not ranked but will be considered as part of the Capital Program. + Some items scored equal points therefore they are ranked the same. Assumptions Summary (refer to website posting for a complete list of all items) 1) The Building/Dock Reserve Fund will not fall below $50,000.00 (unless there is an emergency). 2) The Board of Directors will adjust the following fees so that the cost of the services is more equitably charged to all users: a) The Club’s general membership now subsidizes the electrical service provided to the wet slips since the expenses are over $9,000 and revenues are $1,845. In order to relieve that burden from the general membership electric service will be individually metered and charged to lease holders on A, B and C Docks (included in the CIP revenue starting in 2008). That the Board of Directors moves the metering of all docks to the FY2007 CIP list and establish a minimum availability charge of $15 per slip per year. All usage will be charged on a quarterly basis to slip lease holders. b) Dry Slips will be established in the woods and a registration fee of $10 will be paid for each slip. According to board policy a $12.50 per month fee for Campers and Recreational Vehicles will be charged. c) There will be an annual registration fee of $10 to leave a boat on a dingy storage rack. d) Wet slip fees will be adjusted so those equal in length, depth, beam will pay equitable fees (included in the CIP revenues starting in 2008). 3) There are multiple projects that are not yet in the CIP to include breakwater maintenance, A Dock electrical, wastewater hook up, boat pump out, building equipment replacement schedule, parking lot grading, etc. These projects will be added in future CIP’s along with the funding necessary to complete them. 4) The Club is insured for only the land based facilities. All Docks and their support services are self insured. Therefore the Board must establish a catastrophic damage plan to replace those facilities. That plan will become part of the Capital Program. This may mean an increase in dues, initiation fees and slip fees. Please feel free to contact me (ncsailor47@yahoo.com) or any of the board members with you questions and comments. |
