Board reinstates lake-lot licenses, approves payment plan for resident John Garrison
Summary
The utility board accepted payments and reinstated specified lake-lot licenses and approved a one-time payment plan for John Garrison, who spoke at the meeting about retirement-income pressures and asked for leniency.
Staff reported that of 11 previously delinquent lake-lot accounts, 10 had been resolved and one (Lot 115) requested a payment plan. The board entertained a motion to accept the payments, reinstate the listed lots, and approve a one-time payment-plan agreement for John Garrison; the motion was moved by Lindsey Hester and seconded by Davis and then approved by the board.
John Garrison, who identified himself and provided his address for the record, used his three minutes to explain the difficulty of living on retirement income and why penalties and interest are burdensome. "We're a lot of us aren't eating, you know, the full month," Garrison said, describing the financial strain and asking the board for patience while he waits on an expected payout. The board approved the motion and thanked him for coming forward.
