DATE: October 9, 1989
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, October 12, 1989
ITEM: 13A. Consider an ordinance on delinquent utility
collection procedures. (Second Reading)
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: David Kautz
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the ordinance amending the Due Date and Delinquent
Notice sections of the Utility Code.
The Due Date is proposed to be extended from ten days after
mailing of bills to fifteen days.
The second past due/service termination notice (the door tag)
is recommended to be stopped.
After a bill becomes past due, only one reminder will be
mailed to the customer
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
Costs to the City for extending the due date are minimal and
will be offset by savings resulting from eliminating the door
tag notification process.
