Village board approves routine write-offs of small outstanding utility balances
Summary
The board approved the annual write-off of small, inactive utility-account balances included in the meeting packet (entries listed in the packet included $20.24 and $16.92). The action was presented as a routine annual procedure tied to property changes.
The Belgium Village Board approved routine write-offs of small outstanding utility-account balances at the Dec. 9 meeting. Staff explained this is an annual procedure used when tenants or homeowners sell property and small leftover balances remain; the packet listed two entries, referenced in discussion as $20.24 and $16.92, as examples of amounts to be cleared.
A motion to approve the write-offs was made (S6) and seconded (S3) and the board approved the action by voice vote. Staff said they are required to follow state/local rules in making write-offs and that the action is administrative rather than policy-making. No further conditions or amounts beyond those listed in the packet were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The approved write-offs will be reflected in the village’s utility accounting records and the clerk/staff will process the transactions.
