Lake Alto Preserve is a collection of different tracts of land purchased, or in this case, leased, at different time periods. The attached budget amendment for $28,433, is a combination of the capital improvements and land stewardship costs for the Murphey Tract ($9,845) and the Padgett Tract ($18,588).
Even without any improvements or land management, there is a $300 per year cost as part of the lease; this cost will be incurred annually regardless.
