Compliance Committee: Templates discussed in June have not been drafted yet. Tanya recommended basing the template on the first basic letter that the compliance committee uses with some verbiage changes. A liaison from the Compliance Committee is assigned to lots with issues to help with resolution. The first letter gives the lot owner 15 days to contest, or they may be fined. There is also a reminder in the letter that all money paid is applied to fines first. Water can still not be shut off due to non-payment due to the Emergency Order from the Governor.
Lot 59 is working on improving. Noted that temporary garages need a permit if over 20 feet.
