Bloomville board unanimously reverses office disconnection, reconnects tenant service and refers policy question to solicitor
Summary
After a landlord requested a service disconnection for a past‑due tenant and the office initially applied a $50 fee, the Bloomville Board of Public Affairs voted unanimously on May 26 to reverse the adjustment and reconnect service, and it referred the matter to the Village Solicitor to clarify future protocol.
At the May 26 meeting, Bloomville staff reported that a landlord requested utility service be disconnected for a tenant who was past due on their bill. The office initially granted the request and applied a $50 disconnection fee.
Minutes state that, upon further discussion, the office decided to reconnect service because the utility bill is in the tenant’s name and the tenant had made payment arrangements. The office will forward the incident to the Village Solicitor for review to determine proper protocol going forward.
Board member Justin Showman made a motion to reverse the previous adjustment; President Logan Reinhart seconded the motion. All board members present — President Logan Reinhart, Justin Showman and Brian Rombach — voted yes and the motion passed.
The minutes do not record the tenant’s name, the landlord’s name, or the specific terms of the payment arrangement. The board scheduled its next meeting for June 2, 2026.
