TO: All Owners in TSCC #1431 - May Tower II
The Board has received and reviewed an Updated Study Not Based on a Site Visit dated September 24, 2004, prepared by Halsall Associates Limited, and has proposed a plan for the future funding of the reserve fund that the Board has determined will ensure that, in accordance with the regulations made under the Condominium Act, 1998, the reserve fund will be adequate for the major repair and replacement of the common elements and assets of the Corporation.

This notice contains:

  1. A summary of the reserve fund study.
  2. A summary of the proposed funding plan.
  3. A statement indicating the areas, if any, in which the proposed funding plan differs from the reserve fund study.

The average contribution per unit per month to the reserve fund in the 2004 fiscal year was: $ 29.34

Based on the proposed funding plan, the average increase in contribution per unit per month will be:

  • $ 2.35 in 2005
  • $ 2.79 in 2006
  • $ 3.04 in 2007

(State the amount of the increase, for each of the three fiscal years following the year in which the reserve fund study was completed. If the contribution is to be increased in the fiscal year in which the reserve fund is completed, also state the amount of that increase.)

The proposed funding plan will be implemented beginning on July 1, 2004
(set out the date of day that is more than 30 days after the day on which this notice is sent to the owners.)

The estimated expenditure from the reserve fund for the next thirty (30) years are set out in the CASH FLOW TABLE. In this summary, the term “annual contribution” means the total amount to be contributed each year to the reserve fund, exclusive of interest earned on the reserve fund.

The recommended annual contribution for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2005 is below:

$103, 044 – Contribution for year ending June 30, 2005

This annual contribution is based on the estimated expenditures and the following:

  • Opening Balance of the Reserve Fund: $ 209,776
  • Minimum Reserve Fund Balance during the Projected Period: $ 321,211
  • Assumed Annual Inflation Rate for Reserve Fund Expenditures: 1.0%
  • Assumed Annual Interest Rate for interest earned on the Reserve Fund: 4.0%

The Reserve Fund Study can be examined by submitting a written request to the Property Manager (as per Section 65 (3) of the Condominium Act 1988).
