HIGHLIGHT:

  • The majority of income items are overbudget and the majority of expense items are under budget. The financials as we start 2020 are looking good.

Total Income:

  • Bottom line P&L performance is $115,475 favorable to plan

 

Drivers for the period include payroll being down one service technician and some yard crew being laid off for the winter.  Another drive is the Capital Improvements and Repairs and Maintenance expense items.

 

 

 

November 2019 to February 2020; Balance Sheet as of February 29, 2020

 

Total Assets:

  • Total assets show a “de minimis” favorable improvement of $8,726 on last year’s assets of $5.5 million

 

Drivers for assets include the Cash account with $183,197 favorable and Accumulated Depreciation is $125,947 lower.

 

Total Liabilities:

  • Total liabilities show a favorable reduction of $210,706 from last year

 

Drivers for liabilities is the BMRP Bank Loan showing a $208,015 reduction in liability.  The BMRP Loan liability is now $482,682.

 

 

AR Aging Summary:

  • AR summary shows $140,837 total accounts receivables balance with $16,478 ninety days past due

 

Drivers for accounts receivables: While the amount past due may appear significant, the amounts due are caused by the spring launch fees being due that are expected to arrive shortly.  Kori and Daniele are working to collect the amounts ninety days past due.

 

 

 

 

  • Marina Operations

 

General Update – Kori Derrick-Cisewski, General Manager

 

The following is a review of the general marina activities.

  • 2020 Work Plan has been developed for 2020 General Manager goals and work tasks
  • A new service technician was hired, Chase Smith, and he will work on getting certifications
  • Refinishing is working on its 2nd largest job for the winter season and after the large jobs are done then the other work items are small jobs
  • Mechanical work on small jobs will start once we can work outside
  • Canvas department does have jobs in queue and need to be done
  • BiT Software – work continues by BiT Software to make improvements in the software that Bayport indicated were challenges along with giving access to customers to log into their accounts. We expect improvements to be released in 2021
  • Launch process is changing to an online process using PDF documents to handle service work and a survey method to handle launch week selection. This process is expected to be more effective and more efficient for marina staff to execute such that the marina staff will be able to accommodate members’ launch week requests
  • Slip rental: marina has four power boat and one sailboat slips to rent
  • Yard Work: we have extension and “hang me outs” work that is being performed. Any dock damage due to ice will be worked on and will be complete in time for the beginning of the season
