New Haven approves sewer account write-offs, short payment-extension policy; buys mower, fixes lagoon aerators
Summary
The board voted to write off $942.26 in delinquent sewer accounts, approved a Pay Extension Agreement allowing up to three seven-day extensions per fiscal year, reported purchase of a Scag mower for $10,599, and noted repair progress on lagoon aerators.
The New Haven Board of Commissioners voted Nov. 21 to write off $942.26 in delinquent sewer accounts and approved a Pay Extension Agreement to give residents limited extra time to pay sewer bills.
Joanie Corbin asked for permission to write off $942.26 in delinquent accounts; Commissioner Fred DeWitt moved to write off the amount, Ruth Faulkner seconded, and the board voted unanimously to approve the write-off. The minutes record that the city will remove those balances from the sewer accounts ledger.
The board also approved a Pay Extension Agreement intended to provide short-term relief to customers. Under the agreement, residents may request up to three extensions per fiscal year, each for up to seven days; Fred DeWitt moved to approve the policy and Mike Morris seconded. The motion passed with all voting in favor.
On operations and equipment, the minutes show the city purchased a 2024 Scag zero-turn mower for $10,599.00. The minutes note the state-bid price was $14,599 and the city received $4,000 as a trade-in for its 2010 Scag mower. David Nalley reported that eight of nine lagoon aerators are functioning, that electrical repairs were completed on two aerators, and that parts for the final aerator have arrived and will be installed by city employees to save money.
The approvals affect how the city manages delinquent accounts and short-term payment accommodations and reflect ongoing maintenance of sewer infrastructure.
