Cable Contract: On March 12, 2010, the Association entered into a ten-year cable contract which will supply internet and cable ser- vices to the residents of the Association. The contract began in January 2011 at the rate of $130 monthly, per unit for service and $15 per unit per month for taxes and fees. The fee is adjustable by up to 4% per year commencing January 2013 with the final two years, January 1, 2019 and 2020, allowing only up to a 2% adjustment. On June 29, 2012, the Association and the cable/internet provider amended the agreement due to excessive interruptions in the con- tracted cable services. Under the amendment it was agreed that the operator will provide on-site technical staffing and discounted rates until the residences were upgraded. All upgrades were completed as of April 30, 2013.

For the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the cable and internet service fees were approximately $1,124,000 and $624,000, re- spectively, related to the contract.

The plan allows for the Association to make discretionary contributions to eligible employees up to a maximum of 4% of their salary, subject to IRS limits.
