Island Gate fee increase and payment booklets

The Board of Directors of Island Gate has prepared our community’s budget for 2015.  As you know we are increasing association dues our dues will increase to $290 per month starting in January 2015. 
    
In an effort to keep costs low we have analyzed the monthly dues payments from our neighbors and noticed that most of us pay automatically from our bank and never use our payment books.  Since the payment books cost the community about $1,000 a year to print and distribute we decided that only neighbors that request payment books will be receiving them this year.  This will allow us to keep costs low while still accommodating our neighbors who still want a payment book. 

If you are requesting a payment book please call AA at 732-294-8882 ask for Dawn and she will be glad to send you a book.  Please do this by November 25th so we may have a book to you for the New Year.  If you do not request a book by November 25th we will not be able to send you a book. 

If you are paying without the book, either automatically or on line please update the amount to $290 starting with the January payment.  Thank you.

If you are going on line to pay electronically for the first time, please follow the instructions below:

1)    Contact the AA website at www.askaa.com  
2)    Go to process my on line payment, this will direct you to smartstreet.com (our bank processing company) There are 3 options to pay.  We recommend number 3, which allows a recurring payment each month to be set up.


If you are going to mail the payment manually the address to send the payment is below:

Island Gate HOA
C/o Association Advisors
PO Box 105007
Atlanta, GA 30348-5007

  
Thank you, as always for your cooperation
