38 year old Heather Van Natta, a CCLTOA secretary, was placed on
administrative leave November 3, 2011 after the sitting board discovered
inaccuracies in Van Natta’s payroll and “abnormally high” association expenses.
After turning over all evidence to the Sheriff Department in December a search
warrant was issued and by January the Sheriff Dept was in receipt of Van
Natta’s bank documents. Use of direct deposits to “pad” her account was evident
in the bank statements as the board claimed never to have authorized additional
pay. Additional evidence showed personal use of homeowners association credit
cards. The net pay total exceeded $18,000 and the personal purchases
exceeded $6,000.00. Van Natta was arrested March 8, 2012, and posted $15,000
bail.
