Village credits sewer account $734.40 after bank payment could not be matched
Summary
Trustees approved a $734.40 credit and waived a $15.36 penalty for Sewer Account #10440 after a resident said they paid in cash at the bank but did not retain a receipt and the payment could not be matched to an account.
Clerk-Treasurer Eileen Carmel told the board that a resident had paid a sewer bill in cash at the bank but the bank did not provide a payment stub, leaving the Village unable to identify which account to credit. The amount paid was unique among accounts at that time.
Trustee James Bonacquisti moved to credit Sewer Account #10440 for $734.40 and waive a $15.36 late penalty; Trustee Raymond Yacuzzo seconded the resolution and the board approved it unanimously. The minutes indicate the credit and penalty waiver were intended to rectify the untraceable cash payment; no further recovery actions or bank follow-up are recorded in the workshop minutes.
