Executive Director’s Report:
- There is $30,972.15 outstanding.
- We charged $424.28 intereston October 1, 2013.
- A CD was cashed out for approximately $97,000 so that we could pay the bills.
- Discussion Regarding 13 Broadway: The condo association was given permission to put in a building lateral from their building to Broadway and given approval last December. They did not have to pay a tap fee because they were already connected, but it was on the condition that they had to cap the existing building lateral which connects on Abbott Avenue.They connected in January 2013. Sharon sent them a letter in March 2013requesting documentation that they caped off their old one. To date, it remains uncapped. Since this is not an illegal hookupan assessment does not need to be done first. Sharon will send a letter to all three accounts (unit owners) as well as the condo owner/contractor, jointly and separately, giving them 30 days to remedy the situation.
- Discussion Regarding Camp Meeting Association: The water company came out andfound that the tennis courts are irrigation and a fountain. Sharon went to the courts and saw that the fountain goes into a pipe then goes into the ground. Joe O’Neill is going to do a dye test. The toilet is a separate account. Sharon will setup a new account and back bill for usage and annual service charges.
- Discussion Regarding Embury Arms: A letter wasprepared and sent out as discussed at last month’s meeting. The letter included the request that they sign in agreement to the
