ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT:
- Accounts Payable – one payable was submitted for payment and that was Bob’s Johns in the amount of $117.97 which was approved by the Board.
- Accounts Receivable – Kelly Maertin has made one payment so far on the agreement she made with the Board of Directors reimbursing the HOA on the legal fees incurred due to her tenants aggressive pit bulls.
Total legal fees amounted to $497.97. Since she has not adhered to the payment schedule as agreed to by both parties and outlined in the minutes of the August 11, 2015 Board meeting, interest will now accumulate on the outstanding balance.
