Board of Directors – Town Hall Summary

SPPA’s May 9 Town Hall, Understanding the Budget – Shaping Our Priorities, gave members an opportunity to hear directly from the Board about the 2026/27 budget, the thinking behind key spending decisions, and the link between the budget and SPPA’s Strategic Plan. Members also shared ideas on how the Association’s member experience capital funds might best be used.

The Board explained that the budget projects roughly $400,000 in revenue, $393,000 in expenses, and a modest $7,000 surplus, and that it was developed through a bottom-up process involving broad committee input. Discussion focused on several key issues, including the annual dues increase, the enhanced Sun Beach Ambassador Program, reserve planning, and the importance of building a more sustainable and predictable revenue base for the Association.

Members also provided helpful feedback on future capital priorities, with suggestions ranging from beach and pathway improvements to added amenities at beach access points. The Board appreciated the thoughtful questions and discussion, and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, long-term planning, and continued member engagement as these priorities move forward.
