Council discusses delinquent utility collection after missed late fees
Summary
Council addressed recent gaps in utility billing—no late fees were applied for two billing cycles—and agreed to offer payment plans; Councilmember Gorman moved to table further action to the next meeting.
Councilmember Taylor reported that “for the last two billing cycles, no late fees were added to any of the utility billings,” attributing the omission to staffing shortages and complications from operating two billing systems. The Council instructed staff to offer payment‑plan options to accounts behind on payments.
Councilmember Gorman asked to table further action and requested the item be returned to the next regular meeting so the Council can review options and metrics for collections before taking final steps.
