Cohousing-L Mailing List: replacement reserves, part two

[Kathleen K. Groshong (kkgrosh]

I'd like to expand my original request re: information on replacement
reserves.  Here are some additional questions:
 1)  What planning assumptions are your cohousing communities using with
your replacement reserves costs and schedule?
2)  What's your reserves inflation factor?
3)  What's included on your schedule-is it only big ticket replacement items
or other items as well?
4)  Are you assuming full replacement costs or something different?
5)  What investments are you making to get some interest income from your
set-aside dollars?
6)  Any other sources of revenue besides dues, interest income from bank,
etc.?
7)  Can you tell it's budget season here?

Any and all comments would be appreciated.  I'm especially interested in
hearing experiences from communities that have  been around for a while and
are utilizing their replacement reserves (we're now in our ninth year).
Thanks very much.
