Gordon Nyes, a resident who signed up to speak, told the City of Superior City Council that his quarterly sewage recycling and storm fees bill arrived with only eight to nine days' notice before the payment due date and asked the city to consider extending the notice period for residents on fixed incomes.
Nyes said he received the bill the same month it is due—"It's due on the thirteenth of this month"—and contrasted that with other utility bills that typically allow 28 to 30 days' notice. "Some people in the city are on fixed income. That's a little bit of a jerk to their financial status," he said, adding that the council should "consider extending that period out for those citizens."
The council acknowledged his comment; no formal action, referral or response committing to a policy change is recorded in the transcript. The public comment occurred after the council approved Item 11.4 (sewer-usage amendment) and before adjournment.
