Introduction. Reservists are citizens of a country who combine a military career with a civilian career. They are not normally on active duty and their predominant function is to be available for military service when a state mobilises to deal with a crisis, the possibility of a crisis or when needed otherwise.
Reserves are like savings accounts – an accumulation of funds for a future purpose. The source of funding for a reserve might be surpluses from operations, or scheduled transfers that have been planned and budgeted.
The Florida Homeowners' Association Act also provides guidelines for establishing a reserve fund but doing so is not mandatory. If your HOA has one, the reserve budget acts as a savings account for large projects that don't happen annually. Major repairs and projects are funded through this fund.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has weighed in by requiring approved inium projects to have at least 10% of the annual operating budget set aside for reserves. However, that percentage is arbitrary and is usually never enough for an association that has to paint and replace roofs.
In Alberta, a inium corporation can be terminated in two ways. The first option is by passing a special resolution of the owners.

“Fully funded” means that you collect the full amounts that your reserve study says you are obligated to collect — not that you have 100% of the funds you need in your reserves at any given time. There are two primary legal requirements that will become active at the end of this year.
