Council endorses idea of charging collection fees in ordinance language
Summary
City Clerk Jodi Wade presented draft ordinance language authorizing assessment of collection costs to debtors; the governing body expressed support for assessing the fees to citizens/debtors and forwarded the language for ordinance processing.
City Clerk Jodi Wade presented proposed ordinance language to allow assessment of collection fees to the account debtor. The governing body indicated support for the principle that collection costs be assessed to the citizen/debtor of the account; no final ordinance vote was taken at this meeting.
The minutes do not record specific fee amounts or an effective date — only that the council was "in favor of the fees being assessed to the citizen." The draft ordinance language will require formal introduction, possible public notice, and an adoption vote at a subsequent meeting before fees could be applied.
