Town staff told the board that Rainbow Park has a new owner and supplied updated contact information. Readings provided by staff indicated 21 trailer-home lots in the park; the new owner later told staff she uses 18 lots.

"If they are vacant, do they still have the trash cans and the water turned on?" the meeting leader asked; staff said documentation would be required to remove billing for a lot that is not in use. The board reiterated a policy position that lots with service or equipment in place will generally be billed unless the owner provides proof that units are condemned or services have been shut off.

The discussion occurred alongside a routine delinquency report (staff said 25 wastewater notices were recently sent and many customers pay before shutoff), and board members asked staff to prepare account data to support any adjustments.

Why it matters: mobile-home parks with mixed occupancy can generate disputes over how many lots are billed and the town’s obligation to verify occupied units.

Next steps: staff will prepare a short list of occupied commercial accounts and compile available meter-usage and delinquency data for the board to review at the next meeting. The board indicated it will require documentation (e.g., condemnation notices) before removing billed ERUs for lots marked vacant.
