1st Quarter Review By Jean Shamo
Jean Shamo discussed the process of drafting the monthly financials, the review and variance comment process completed each month by the Property Manager, and some highlights from the May 2022 financials. She discussed the threshold at which she measures variances from budget, and the things she looks for. She also reviewed highlights from the Reserve Study and reviewed the present accounts receivable status, then requested that the Property Manager discuss the collections process.
The Phases Of Account’s Receivable
Property Manager Timothy Patricio discussed the office’s four phase approach to collections. The 1st phase is late fees, the 2nd phase is forwarding accounts to legal counsel after a balance reaches 45 days, and a demand is issued after a 60 day balance. The 3rd phase is following the demand expiring, and legal counsel files a collections suit. The 4th phase is resolution. This is typically when either (a) the Association takes possession and attempts to rent the unit, or (b) when the Association takes over an existing lease from the Owner, or (c) when an acceptable. payment plan agreement is put in place.
General Q&A
Jean Shamo chaired a question and answer session regarding collections, the current financials and variance comments, and the Reserve Study. Board President Michael Parrie invited Unit Owners in the audience to ask questions as well.
