2025 Proposed Budget (in progress)
The treasurer prepares a monthly Profit and Loss statement and has it available at all board meetings. The treasurer also prepares a proposed operating budget in late winter, which is adjusted by the board and made available to all pool members in attendance at the annual meeting each spring, or upon request.
General maintenance or repair items are discussed at the board meetings (or via email if they are critical), and approved as necessary. When feasible, additional quotes are received prior to approval of a contractor. Improvement items and ideas for future investments are raised by board members, or by pool members via email or in discussion with individual board members, and are discussed and prioritized at board meetings. Costs for these items are estimated, and when funds are available, further investigation is conducted and work initiated.
The board maintains a level of savings (i.e., “Capital Account”) in interest bearing accounts to provide for major repairs and facility maintenance. The funding for this Capital Account is provided by the monopole rent (which is also used to supplement the pool's operating budget). The Capital Account was depleted in 2022 when we initiated critical repairs to the pool's infrastructure. Beginning with the 2023 season, we will start to rebuild the funds in this account. Additionally, monies are set aside in a diversified investment portfolio should the pool ever close permanently. Our pool is built on an easement granted by Fairfax County and county law requires the property be returned to park land (to include removal of the pool and all structures) if the pool ceases to operate. Pool board members at the time of a permanent closure would be responsible for these costs. This account is designated to cover this eventuality and is not considered a liquid asset.
