Fuel – Oil - For the Nine (9) Months Ended December 31, 2022, Fuel increased approximately $186,000 to $222,000 as compared to $36,000 in the Budget. This increase is due to the additional fuel-oil costs related to the installation of a new aerator in FY 2023.

This increase is related to increased usage: offset, in-part, by lower costs related to National Grid and Engie (our Natural Gas supplier) as describe below:

1. Natural Gas Prices (Engie) – In September 2020, when the Natural Gas market was at a 25-year low, Management executed a 5.5 year forward contract at $0.392 per Therm (a measurement of natural gas purchases). This locked in the price of Gas prices for 5.5 years. This means that Rochdale Village Inc. is protected from Natural gas price fluctuations till March 2026.

(3) Seasonality in the Budget was based on prior % and the actual is trending in a slightly different volume.

2. Water & Sewer - For the Nine (9) Months Ended December 31, 2022, Water and Sewer expenses increased approximately $1,075,000 to $4,696,000 as compared to $3,621,000 in the Budget. This increase is due to the Budget projecting savings from the water conservation project being delayed due to COVID. Further analysis indicates that the savings is not as beneficial as anticipated in the Budget. In addition, more residents continue working from home which results in an increase in water usage.

Insurance Expense - For the Nine (9) Months Ended December 31,

2022, Insurance expenses increased $781,000 to $5,954,000 as compared to $5,172,000 in the Budget. The increase is due to the Rochdale insurance policies renewal.

The decrease is related to (1) a decrease $480,000 in Local 32 BJ benefits due to the contract reducing the 32BJ benefits to offset the one-time $3,000 bonus payment to 32BJ employees (2) A decrease in SSOBA benefits due to the vacancies as compared to the Budget at Full Staff.
