“The city has invoiced Domaine Hospitality Partners for the special election costs,” Maitland told the council. “We have not received payment for it.” Maitland told the city council that she first invoiced Domaine on June 7. When the developer didn’t pay, she sent it a past-due invoice on June 24. When Domaine didn’t respond to that with a check, city manager Ben Harvey on July 22 sent its president a letter, saying the bill was due no later than Aug. 11. Maitland told the Pine Cone that the city paid the county elections for the costs on July 15.
