Macclesfield board approves budget-billing program for customers with one year of service
Summary
The board voted unanimously on July 29, 2024 to offer budget billing to customers with at least one year of service, requiring a signed contract; Town Administrator Jennifer Stanley will review how the billing system would implement the program.
At a special called meeting July 29, 2024, the Macclesfield Board of Commissioners voted to begin a budget-billing program for utility customers who have had at least one year of service.
Commissioner Jean Wooten-Jiles moved to begin budget billing for customers with one year or more of service, with the requirement that customers sign a contract with the town; Commissioner Jason Taylor seconded the motion and it passed with no opposition.
Town Administrator Jennifer Stanley was tasked with investigating the town’s billing system to determine how budget billing would be handled and implemented. The meeting record does not specify a start date for the program, any pricing or averaging methodology, or whether the program will require a town ordinance or an administrative policy change.
The program was approved as a board direction; further operational details and any required town council or administrative steps were left to staff to report back to the board.
