OPEN FORUM

Julie Billeter and Steve Pembrook of Scheffel Boyle were in attendance to present the final Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended 6/30/2016. Ms. Billeter said that all records were provided to the auditors that were necessary to make a fair and complete preparation of financial statements for the District.  All funds are comparable to last year.  Revenues are up due to the rate increase, which brought the District to a bottom line of where it should be.

There was an issue with the water meter and ERT at 1086 Barbados. The owner was not in attendance, however Ms. Lankster explained that the ERT stopped reading the meter, however the meter was working fine.  So over the 10 months, 103,000 gallons had been used.  He admitted to noticing the bill had gone down, but did not bring it to our attention.  It was discovered in October when we noticed his readings had been zero use, but they were still in the house.  Since it took us a while to find it, the Trustees agreed to allow a credit of $250.00.  Mr. Hayes made a motion to giving a $250.00 credit. Mr. Van Sandt seconded the motion and all trustees voted “Aye.”
