Overview

Mission

Newport ridge community association (the "association") serves the common good and general welfare of the newport beach community. The association provides architectural and landscape control over all the residential real properties and condominium units of that master planned development community through the protective covenants (cc&r's) granted to it. The association maintains 736 acres of common area, which includes parks (facilities within the parks), slopes, greenbelts, median on public streets, boundary walls and fences, irrigation systems, monuments markers and other open areas. The association, however, does not provide any repairs or maintenance of private residences, condominium units or apartments. The services provided by the association benefit the entire newport ridge community (and surrounding local communities) and promote the common good and general welfare of the people of that community. These services and facilities would not otherwise be available to the community

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
