My neighbor, Brian Hushek, who has nearly 40 years of corporate budgeting experience, created the attached document to hi-light the year-over-year variance on the specific expense line items in the budget. The three largest variances are the $21,000 for Community Enhancements, $6,500 for Tree Replacement, and $4,500 for Legal Fees - General Counsel, of which there was no explanation or justification noted for the legal fees in the letter all homeowners received from Thrive Community Management dated November 30, 2022.
