Please don't forget that the preliminary budget meeting for the Amenity and Project Wide budgets are tomorrow at 2:00 PM at the Savannah Rec Center. Resident input in highly appreciated and desired.

One last thought to share, just because someone comes to the meeting and suggest something doesn't mean it will happen. The Supervisors have a pretty good handle on not only the budget, but also what are realistic expectations that can be provided with that budget. We cannot cater to ever special interest or resident want. Some things may be a good idea but may take some planning to make happen or may not happen for a year or more depending on cost, need, and other priorities, and sometimes not at all.

The budget process involves much more than pickleballs and swimming pool, there are many things that have to happen in our community that most do not realize and that are paid for through these budgets.

The time for your input is NOW and the next 2 months, NOT September when the budget goes up for its final approval.
