A. To submit a repayment plan to the Board for the missed deposits of $1,756,197.00 by close of business by Friday, March 10, 2023.

B. Provide an account of how we spent the $17,345,364.00 withdrawals from the HCR Reserve Account. Kindly include the withdrawals, what we spent i.e. was it a project or an emergency, the resolution number, the date passed if applicable, again by close of business March 10, 2023.

Based on that background information;

BE IT RESOLVED that the Rochdale Village Board of Directors adopts the policy outlined below for the HCR Reserve Account effective February 27, 2023.

It has come to the Board’s attention that the HCR Reserve account balance is at $1.4 million. This account is set aside for emergencies such as gas leaks, significant and/or unexpected repairs for plumbing and electrical. This is not an all-inclusive list.

The minimum balance in the HCR account is set at $8 million. Withdrawals beyond the minimum balance may not take place without Board approval. In such instances, Management is required to provide a detailed outline of the emergency and how the monies will be subsequently deposited to achieve the minimum balance.

It has come to the Board’s attention that there have been months in which the required $195,133.00 monthly deposit to the HRC reserves was not made. Therefore, management must notify the Board in writing, providing an explanation as to why they are unable to make the monthly deposit. Additionally, management will provide a schedule for repayment of the missed deposits. These deposits are effective immediately.

R06-23: BOARD ADOPTS POLICY FOR HCR RESERVE ACCOUNT

Moved by: Stacey Francis

Seconded by: Keysha Beasley

Resolution involves the policy for the HCR Reserve account, and I just want to give a little background information, so you can follow along with me and I am going back to the year 2019.

(1) In the year 2019 $8,232,725.00 was deposited into the HCR Reserve Account from the $195 million refinance.

(2) After that deposit the balance in the HCR Reserve account was $12,575,136.00

(3) Therefore, the opening balance prior to the $8,232,725.00 deposit was $4,342,411.00

(4) & (5) From October 2019 to October 2022 there were thirty-two deposits for the monthly amount of $195,133.00. That equated to $6,244,256.00. If I add the $12,575,136.00 to the $6,244,256, we have in that account $18,819,392.00

(6) I need to note that there were five missed deposits in the year 2020, April May, June, July and August which totaled $975,665.00

We had two missed deposits in 2022, November and December which totaled $390,266.00

We also had two missed deposits in 2023, January and February for an additional $390,266.00.

The total of the missed deposits thus far has been $1,756,197.00 in the HCR reserve account

(7) If I subtract our current balance of $1,473,965.00 we spent from 2019 through 2023, a total of $17,345,364.00 from the HCR Reserve.

Based on this we have some action items for Management.
