At the end of each year, the BMSA's Board of Directors usually passes an amendment to balance the budgeted vs. actual operating and reserve expenditures. At their January 2012 board meeting, the BMSA Board of Directors amended the final 2011 budget. The 2011 assessment of $296.00 was separated into 18% in the operating and 82% in reserves. The vacant lot and sub-association assessment of $148.00 was also separated into 18% operating and 82% reserves.
