Authority approves payment plan for past-due commercial account
Summary
The Middletown authority approved a staff-recommended repayment arrangement for Metro Square LLC: 50% of the past due balance up front and an extended payment schedule; the motion passed unanimously at the meeting.
The Middletown Water Pollution Control Authority voted unanimously to accept a staff proposal for Metro Square LLC to repay a past-due commercial sewer account under a payment-plan arrangement.
Staff outlined a recommendation that Metro Square pay half of the past-due amount up front (the memorandum cites an initial payment of roughly $13,000) followed by an agreed-upon installment schedule. The authority noted that commercial accounts are treated differently than residential accounts and that the property owner — not the tenant — is ultimately responsible if tenants do not pay.
The board discussed the history of notices and a prior lien and agreed the arrangement balances recovery for the utility with an opportunity for the property owner to make payments. The motion to accept the payment plan was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no opposed votes recorded.
Staff said they would implement the payment-plan terms and monitor compliance; the authority did not disclose finer contractual terms in the public packet at the meeting.
