In years past, the treasurer has collected dues up through Spring of the following year; the board finds this unacceptable given the monthly bills we have to pay.
The board of directors developed this collection policy at our September 2008 board meeting. The goal of the policy is to clarify the collection process for homeowners, expedite the dues collection from the neighborhood, and to alleviate the burden from our treasurer.
As you can imagine, collecting dues from 103 homeowners is a labor intensive and time consuming task. Board members volunteer their time to help make the neighborhood a better place, and do not want to become a collection agency to Lindenwood homeowners. It is very awkward for board members to have to repeatedly call neighbors for their funds, and/or send notes to obtain the overdue funds. Please note our policy with deadlines.
