Financial review shows Keystone paid about a quarter of shared 2025 costs; staff to propose contract clarifications
Summary
Review of the Dillon'Keystone cooperative shows Keystone paid about 25% of 2025 shared operating costs (after removing Dillon-only items); staff found a roughly $108,000 overage to reconcile and recommended an amendment to clarify expense allocation going forward.
Staff presented a reconciliation of the Dillon'Keystone cooperative for 2025 showing Keystone's payment and an analysis of what was allocated to each community. After removing Dillon-specific items (communications center and court fees), Keystone's contribution tracked at roughly 25 percent of operating costs and about 24 percent of capital in 2025; staff noted the contract allows up to 33 percent but that the first operational year began June 1 rather than January.
Staff recommended using a template to track shared expenses going forward and suggested amending the agreement to clean up expense allocations and remove ambiguity about who pays for what. "We need to start working on an amendment to the agreement so that this is very lined out, and there's no more second guessing who's paying for what," staff said.
