You Get What You Pay For: A Financially Strong HOAMaintains and Improves Chesterfield VillageGreat amenities like the pool and clubhouse. Valuable ser-vices like weekly trash collection. Neighborhood events. Wellmaintained landscaping. Chesterfield Village homeownersenjoy living in one of the most unique, and best, neighbor-hoods in the Springfield area.

Protecting the integrity and quality of the neighborhood is aresponsibility your HOA board members take seriously. Withthis in mind, the board recently announced a new strategyfor homeowner dues that will strengthen the HOA’s ability tomeet its commitment to current and future residents of ourgreat community.

Why the New Dues Strategy? While your homeowners association is a non-profit entity,the rules of business still apply: the HOA must be able tocollect adequate money from residents in the form of dues tocover all costs and provide a sufficient reserve for large ex-penses and unforeseen circumstances that happen fromtime to time in maintaining and improving a quality neighbor-hood.

With dues remaining status quo for many years, the fundshave not kept pace with the increase in vendor rates and the

increased cost to maintain aging facilities. Due to increasedcosts every year, there is not much money, if any, left overat the end of the fiscal year to put into reserves. A reservefund can be used to cover the cost of major projects.

Your board believes it’s in the best interest of all residentsthat dues keep up with the needs of the neighborhood toensure continued maintenance and improvements whileavoiding future large special assessments.

A Consistent Dues Strategy To bring greater long-term financial stability to HOA financ-es, the board is implementing a new dues strategy. Dues will

increase 5% in 2014 (this is reflected in your current state-ment). The board has also discussed a 5% increase in2015. The board will evaluate its dues strategy annually withhomeowner input at the October Member’s Meeting when adetailed financial report and proposed budget is provided.

How Dues Benefit You As noted above, the HOA is a non-profit entity. Board mem-bers receive no compensation of any kind for their volunteerservice and we do not use a property management compa-

ny; 100 percent of homeowner dues go toward maintainingand improving our great neighborhood. The annual dues youpay benefit you directly in several ways, including:

Protect your property values

Most real estate professionals would agree that astrong HOA that’s able to meet its commitments tohomeowners, enforce covenants and maintain ser-vices and amenities directly contributes to higher

property values.

Provide valuable services

Your dues cover a range of valuable services in-cluding weekly trash collection, advertising of thespring and fall neighborhood garage sale and theregular neighborhood events like summer movienight and cook out, which are provided to residentsfree of charge.

Maintain and improve the facilities and amenities youenjoy

Our pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and commonarea landscaping are all things that make Chester-field Village a great place to live. Maintaining andimproving these facilities and amenities is coveredby dues.

Attract quality future neighbors

Dues – and the active HOA they support – helpensure that future buyers in this neighborhood areable and willing to contribute to the continued suc-cess of our unique community.

Chesterfield Village is a unique and quality neighborhood.Your HOA board is committed to maintaining and improvingour neighborhood and appreciates your support through thedues you pay. If you have any questions or concerns,please don’t hesitate to bring these to a board member at anupcoming monthly meeting.
