Redstone Federal Credit Union Denying Deposits Due to Incorrect Recipient Name
- If any residents are making checks payable to “Elite Housing” instead of Grand Lake
- HOA” the checks are being kicked back. All checks must be made payable to Grand
- Lake HOA, not elite housing management.
- Either we can return checks to homeowners requesting they write the correct name, or
- request homeowners enroll in autopay.
- Signature Cards: we need to update signature cards; this will require all signature card
- holders to be present at the same time (3 people, president, treasurer and
- representative from Elite)
- Discussing movement of HOA account to another location: Synovus on Whitesburg. Will
- explore the possibility of changing accounts to Synovus bank.
- Closing this out, we need to assess the scope of this problem. How many people need
- to switch the name they are writing checks out to; is it worth the effort to change the
- entire financial institution for the HOA due to other effects, changing internet and utilities,
- changing autopay/billpay for people who bank through Redstone FCU.
- Will revisit in next HOA meeting.
Discuss/Revise Outbuilding Guidelines and Adopt:
- https://www.grandlakehoa.com/outbuilding-guidelines/
