*Incumbent
2016 was a Milestone Year…2017 was even Better!
• For the second time in our existence, we ended 2016 with a small positive Operating Balance and did not use any funds from next year’s maintenance fees.
• 2017 is on track for a similar positive financial operating position and 2018 should also be positive.
• We’ve done this with only incremental increases in maintenance fees (reserves mostly) and at the same time made many improvements to resort amenities and owner/guest services at the same time.

• Pollard Brook is one of only a few resorts that has a balanced budget.
• We have made a good dent in known long term improvements that we know have to be made with well planned reserve spending
• We continue to budget and spend conservatively.
• The industry is finally catching up to my way of thinking on investing maintenance fees as other businesses can.
• Just want to remind you I’m up for re-election next year and have no clue what I’ll have to talk about.
