Highland Lakes

The Administration committee is chaired by the First Vice President and consists of three officers and three trustees who review the various budgets proposed by the General Manager. The General Manager drafts the annual operating and capital fund budgets based upon operating costs and their escalation, the “wish lists” of the various committees, the inclusion of new programs, and the capital improvements that are required. After review and approval by the Administration committee, the budgets are submitted to the full Voting Board for review, modification and approval.

The Administration committee spends an enormous amount of time on the various budgets because of the impact not only on the members through the annual dues and assessments but on the future of the community. The committee also reviews staffing structures, setting the pay rates and increasing or decreasing staff as per recommendations of the General Manager.
