Council rejects request to waive rental renewal late charges for resident’s elderly mother
Summary
A request from Darcy Yount to waive late rental renewal charges for her 85‑year‑old mother was denied after a motion to waive fees failed 2‑3; Councilmember Jerry Evans moved in favor but the motion did not carry.
A resident asked the council on Dec. 16 to waive late rental renewal charges assessed for 2024. Darcy Yount said she spoke on behalf of her "eighty‑five‑year‑old mom Betty Yount Perry" and asked that the late charges be waived. Councilmember Jerry Evans moved to approve the request, but the motion failed on a 2‑3 roll call vote.
Why it matters: The decision affects a specific resident's financial obligation and illustrates council reluctance to grant fee waivers in this instance; the minutes record the failed motion but do not show further appeal or administrative follow up.
Council action: Motion to waive late charges defeated 2‑3 (Boka and Duer recorded as yes/no per roll call format in minutes; final tally indicates the motion did not pass). No subsequent motion to reconsider was recorded.
Next steps: The meeting minutes include no record of further administrative adjustment or appeal; the resident may pursue any available administrative remedies outside the council meeting record.
