Financial Reports

A. Treasurer’s Report

Treasurer Julie Grothues presented the Treasurer’s Report. A question arose on keeping the annual dues on the books for the HCFCD lots. It was pointed out that there is little chance that these dues will be collected from HCFCD. Genesis pointed out that there is a
chance to collect if the property sells but if the dues are “written off the books” the dues cannot be “written back on the books” if and when the lots are sold. A point of order was raised when the discussion turned to whether HCFCD could/would sell the lots. Julie requested that the dues from the HCFCD lots be identified to keep that future revenue separate from other future revenue. Genesis will check into whether there is a way to identify the delinquent dues from the HCFCD and keep them separate from the other future revenue.

B. Attorney’s Recommendations on Collections

Vernon Hassell questioned whether the collection letters need to be sent out each year or only once per lot. Genesis will check with legal about how often the letters need to be sent and report back next month.

Motion was made by Vernon Hassell to postpone acting on the letter from the Attorney until legal has responded. No objections were made
