Residents Comments Regarding the Agenda
Lorraine Meyer asked if the commercial rate is different from the residential rate and which rate the building is on. The Board stated that the residential rate is different from the commercial rate and further that the building is considered a commercial user as we use above 1300 megawatts. The Board clarified that homeowner’s individual units are at the residential rate and are not impacted by the Board’s decisions regarding the common areas.
