STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: David Kautz
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
A.) New Connect or Transfer Fee
A new program designed to collect a new connect or transfer
fee from all customers desiring new service or transfer of
service within the City of Round Rock. The cost will be
$15.00 per application for service. This amount is
recommended to help offset the City's expense of providing the
service. Approximately 2,700 new connects and transfers are
processed on an annual basis. This new program will generate
additional revenues of $40,500 per year.
B.) After -Hours Fee
A new program designed to collect an after-hours fee for
reconnection of service for non-payment of a delinquent
account. Any customer who requests service to be reinstated
after normal working hours will be required to pay an after-
hours fee. The cost will be $20.00 per occurrence and is
intended to offset the City's expense of providing the service
outside normal business hours. This fee is expected to
generate $4,080 per year.
The list below provides a comparison of the surrounding
utilities and their fee for new connects, transfer and after-
hours in their respective areas.
