particulars, OOI lo the ...-.
Director Fonda said they would like 10 mess a 10% Ille fee on all de:inqueol water bills. He advised 11111
11 the c:unent time lbcle ii DO pcaalty, and last year we bad OYCr 6,000 that carried it all the "11)' 10 tbe 45
day limit. He pointed ... thal this causes the City an lacn:dible IIIIIIWII .:,f ollia: time getting out all al
the delinquent nouces. He Slated Iha~ addin1 the 10% fee, they are hoping will reduce the numbo al
deli nquetol notices. Rigid DOW , be pointed out. there is 110 incentive MIIISoe\-er to cause people to pay the
bill . He ;;.id the City 1'ill llOI do ID)1hing dsc dilrerait. RSidcttts will still be able to go up 10 75 days
bofore the City red tags the property.
Cooncil Member Waggoner asked when the 10% lale fee will be applied, if it ,-ill be after 30 days.
Director Fonda responded that it would pnlttic:ally ~ after 45 days, h.,.,.....,. they c:oull leplly after
30 days . He said it is usually 45 days before we would actually send it out. Manager or Administration
Bock advised that the fee 'll-ould not be applied until"" IICIUally run the computer prosn,n 11 45 days to
geocrate the noua:s.
Council Member C!..•~ atl:.= ~-w they arrived ac JO%. Director Fonda said ii is usually not a lot. that 1
typical water bill is IDl)i>c $40 .00 st. there would be 1 $4 .00 charge. He DOied it is !IOI tnearll to be 1
bcavy penalty. just a delcrreo~ because many people would not like getting it.
Council Member Waggoner asked if that is onl y n one time charge 1111d after another 45 days wba1 would
they do then . Director Fooda staled that then they ba,-. roccived a red tag and their wat er bas been shut
off. So yes, be said . this would be one time un ti l the cycle would repeal itself. Council Member
Waggoner asked if ii is until they get AOOther bill . Director Fonda said yes. He said charges for turning
water on and off. which is when they would have 10 go and tum olf rot noopaymcn" we would charge
$15 .00 instead of $5 .00 . Also . be advised, they "-ould be authoriud to charge S5 .00 when they ba,-e to
show up 10 deli ve r the tum off notia:. He staled that all of these are meant 10 be small penalties. but the
actual n.m off takes more time and effort and they are just reall y not getting responses . •
