Strandvik HOA Homeowner has to ask HOA Treasurer if his 3Q2018 dues payment was received

This is something that has never happened in 31 years I have been paying Strandvik Inc HOA dues and the first time I have heard a payor has to ask a payee if his payment is received.

On Jan15 2019 I receveid a message from Chase bank that an online billpay check they mailed out on Oct10 2018 has not been cashed and Chase put a stop payment on it.  Their practice is to stop payment after 90 days.  Mailed out on Oct10, should be received by Oct15, and stop payment on Jan15.

I checked my records and it was for a Strandvik Inc homeowner dues for 3Q2018.  I emailed the new Treasurer Tim Brown (twice) and finally received a reply.  He said the check showed up late and "so we missed cashing it."

The appended bill below states clearly that due date is Oct15 and considered late with penalty after 30 days.  So I asked Tim what he meant by "showed up late."  His reply below says "end of October." which is still 15 days before being considered late.

So what did you do with the check after it was received by end of October?  Just put it in a drawer and forget about it?  The check is valid so why wouldn't you deposit it.  Am I the only member whose check arrived at the end of October? Did you notify me via email?  What?

There seems to be only one deposit cycle.  If so, shouldn't that deposit date be after Nov15 (30 days past due date)?

Maybe that is why I have not been sent any HOA financial statements for 2 years.  The last set I was sent was for 2015.  So where are the financials for 2016, 2017 and 2018?

Is there a documented procedure on how to process homeowner dues payments?  Or a documented procedure on how Annual Meetings and Special Meetings are called? (Yes, it is in the By-laws). The 2018 Annual Meeting Tim mentions in his letter accompanying the bill still hasn't take place.  Strandvik By-laws state the Annual Meeting is to be held in March.  At least have a Board meeting to pass a motion to delay the meeting.
