Intentional deferment is not observed.
Furnishings and décor are approaching
economic obsolescence. Dining room
size may represent functional obsolescence. Continue regular inspections and services. Exceptional use will require
accelerated services throughout all components.
One of the main focal points of the
site's functions includes its dining operations. Residents are served 3 meals a day, with a
choice of two seatings each meal. It should be noted that the dining room's
size cannot accommodate all residents at one time.
The kitchen is well appointed with
quality equipment. The chef reports
that there are no limitations in the existing equipment. Sporadic services
are expected to address normal maintenance failures, addressed as an
operating expense. The reserve rate
recognizes the major equipment including stoves, ovens, automatic fire
suppression hood, refrigerators and ice makers, and work stations. Replacement expenses occur in the out
years, addressed with an annual reserve rate of $3,500 each year. Unexpected irreparable losses can be funded
from the line item.
Dining hall furnishings are listed as
a line item, apart from the other items of the house, due to the accelerated
wear and tear the inventory receives. Current observations indicate that the end of useful life is
approaching for many of the chairs. Wood components are failing, as are
cushions. The inventory includes 13
tables with 66 seats in the main dining hall, and 8 tables with 32 seats in
the memory wing. The inventory value is estimated at $41,370. Phased expenses are included for years 2,
7, 12, and 17 at $20,685 each phase. The annual reserve rate is $4,137 each year.
Similar to the wear and tear of furnishings,
the dining hall décor receives accelerated use. Years 2, 7, 12, and 17 include additional
expenses of $15,000 for carpet replacement, window dressing, and items of
detail. The annual reserve rate is
$3,000 each year.
