Board approves financials, accepts audit and readies lien list for overdue assessments

The Health Meadow Special Services District board reviewed a list of checks and routine operating expenses, accepted an external audit, and approved the district’s financial reports.

David (staff member) presented the list of checks written since the last meeting, calling attention to a $413,000 contract draw to Tuscher (recorded as a payment on the project) and routine invoices from Sunrise Engineering. The board noted a roughly $47,610 transfer to a savings account earmarked for a $4,000,000 bond improvement project and an $11,000 payment to the Utah State Division of Finance on a shop-building loan.

The audit from Kimball & Roberts, CPAs, was presented and the board accepted the auditor’s opinion that the financial statements “present fairly in all material respects” for the district’s business-type activities. A board member moved to approve the financials as presented and the motion passed by voice vote.

Staff reported work to prepare a list of properties to send to the county for liening on unpaid quarterly assessments; the district will include properties that are $1,000 or more past due. One account was noted with a balance of $948 and was removed from the lien list for that reason. Board members also discussed a mistaken combined payment from a homeowner association that required an internal correction.

The board approved the recommendations to separate bond funds into a protected account and to proceed with recommended lien filings; staff will forward the lien list to the county by the deadline stated in the meeting.
