Insurance – Mike Swanson explained that the insurance claim was stalled pending the board’s acknowledgement/agreement of the details of the financial audits that had been drafted.

 

Homeowner Dues & Fines 

Motion was made, seconded and unanimously approved that the initial $5.00 late fee and $23.50 late letter charge could not be waived. 

Mike Swanson, KM representative, agreed to research whether language could be included on invoices reminding homeowners that absence of an invoice does not excuse a homeowner from the liability or create a circumstance whereby a late fee would be waived. 

NEW BUSINESS 

Budget – Mike Swanson presented a modified budget that included a $5.00 increase in quarterly dues, in part to compensate for late and non-payments. 

 

Late Fee Notification – Board instructed KM to limit late fee notification to once per quarter.  This will limit both the Associations’ and the homeowners $23.50 letter fee cost.
