Special Service District approves minutes, agrees to submit unpaid accounts to county lien

The Beaver County Special Service District voted to accept its Aug. 22, 2025 meeting minutes and approved submitting a list of properties with delinquent accounts to Beaver County for inclusion on the tax roll.

The action on the minutes was taken by voice vote; the motion to accept the minutes was made and seconded, and members responded "Aye." At the meeting the district also voted to provide Beaver County a list of property owners whose balances are at or above $1,000 so those balances may be assessed as liens on the county tax roll. A member summarized the district pproach: "If an owner has a balance due of a thousand dollars or more, we submit that to the lien." The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

In the financial review that preceded the vote, district staff reviewed recent payments and balances. Staff reported an accounts-receivable balance of about $40,000 and described recent large loan payments, including a roughly $164,000-$166,000 annual payment on a major project loan. Staff also identified an annual lease payment for a backflow device due in October of about $11,000 and noted a purchase-option at the end of the backhoe lease. On the accounts-receivable process the district said it will submit only accounts with balances of $1,000 or more for liening when the county requests the list.

Board members and staff emphasized that the lien submissions follow the district—riteria discussed at the meeting and that the list will be submitted to the county as part of the tax-assessment process. No change to rates or assessment policy was adopted at the meeting.

Less urgent items discussed included routine payables and an accounting of checks written since the prior meeting. Staff said bills will be sent out again on the first of the month and that paperwork remains to be finalized on some grant enrollments and claims.
