Council votes to repeal resolution allowing case‑by‑case fee suspensions
Summary
The council voted to repeal Resolution 25‑38, which had allowed city representatives to suspend late fees and mortgage shutoffs on a case-by-case basis; the motion passed by roll call.
The council considered unfinished business regarding Resolution 25‑38, which previously authorized city representatives to suspend late fees and administrative fees on a case‑by‑case basis. Staff described limited use of the resolution and recommended repeal if the council agreed.
A motion to repeal Resolution 25‑38 was made and seconded. The council approved the repeal by roll-call vote with recorded affirmative votes (Beauchamp, Schubert, Talich, Davis, Knight) and the mayor announced the motion passed.
Staff said if a similar need arises in the future—such as a furlough or partial shutdown—the council could bring forward a comparable resolution for consideration at that time. The repeal does not create any immediate fee changes; it removes the prior authorization mechanism.
