Greene County sewer board approves December financial report, flags unpaid claims and outstanding invoices
Summary
The Greene County Regional Sewer District approved the December financial report and noted unpaid claims of roughly $47,000 and a pending invoice from Strongbox/StructurePoint; board discussed collection shortfalls and temporary relief from connection fees.
Speaker 3 presented the district’s December financial report, saying the month began with a balance of "$50,270.69," receipts of "$12,006.16" (partial transcript figures), and an end-of-month balance reported around "$34,009.00". Speaker 3 told the board there are unpaid claims "a little over $47,000" and that the district made a $10,000 payment in December.
Speaker 3 said the district is awaiting payment invoiced to Strongbox (transcript text: 'Strongbox of $87,004.20 $425'), and that receipt of that payment would help clear outstanding claims. The presenter also outlined recurring expenses: contract services (including a payment to Nathaniel and an invoice from Wessler/Westler Engineering), repairs to a pump at Allen Farms lift station, and purchase/installation of new pH probes.
On multi-year trends, Speaker 3 said sewer collections averaged about $9,300–$9,900 per month over a recent period while expenses have risen to about $13,000 per month in the last year, creating a structural deficit that large connection payments have temporarily offset.
The board moved to approve the financial report; Speaker 2 called for the motion, it was seconded and approved by voice vote ('Aye').
The board also discussed customer notices for rate changes (no substantive feedback reported) and the district’s billing arrangements (some customers have direct debit and may not routinely receive paper bills). The board directed staff to continue monitoring collections and outstanding claims.
