1) One homeowner was sent a disconnect notice yesterday. Frustration was expressed trying to rectify
being a good neighbor / being forgiving verses holding consistently delinquent payers accountable.
Concern was voiced for letting anyone end up owing hundreds of dollars and potentially getting into
a place where payment becomes out­of­reach. Consensus was to follow the current policy with
increased late fees.
2) Just one homeowner is over 90 days past due on payment. The family assured monthly payments,
but failed to follow through.
3) Tom Walter will personally visit the home to talk.
4) Cyndie Winchell will follow up with one other family who is behind two payments.

with any struggling family if they informed the board with enough notice to off­set hardship.
