The projected budgets for
2013/14 and 2014/15 are based
on an 8% increase of income and expenditure items,
excluding the infrastructure
projects. This increase will
most probably be different at
the time of budgeting for those
periods and both income and
expenditure will then be adjusted
accordingly. If the projected
budget figures shows a
substantial surplus, the levy
could be reduced so that the
budget more or less breaks even. |
|
The infrastructure projects are
reviewed every year and new
projects may be proposed next
year. This may affect the
infrastructure priorities, and
will affect the projected budget
figures. |
|
Note: At the end of June 2012
the City erected the post & rail
fence between wetland 1 and Otto
du Plessis Drive at the
Racecourse bus station. We have
left this item on the budget for
the interim, but could use the
funds for other infrastructure
projects. |
|
All owners in Royal Ascot pay a
levy to RAMPOA. The
monthly levy for 2012/13 is R90.50 per unit
for residential properties and
R1.52 per square meter for
commercial properties. |
|
The chart below gives the
percentage expenditure for the
various items for the 2012/13
proposed budget. Note that for the
chart we have combined some
of the above amounts so that the total
percentage for a specific item
is reflected here (eg for the
landscaping the amounts for
operational costs, maintenance
and the portion of the
professional fee for the
landscaping consultant, have
been combined). |
|
Note that the expenditure for
our three core functions -
landscaping, environmental levy and
security (as set out in the
RAMPOA constitution) - makes up 79%
of the total expenditure.
Infrastructure projects make up
16%, leaving only 5% for
administration, communications
(website & newsletter) and other
expenses. |
|
On the income side we now also
have a small income from
advertisement sales in the
newsletter, this offsets some of
the costs of printing the
newsletter. |
