Council lowers cutoff notice fee to $5 in revised Manual of Fees resolution
Summary
Bristow officials adopted Resolution R1447-081825 to reduce the cutoff notice fee from $10 to $5 and approved a tank water fee after discussion of due process and administrative costs.
Councilmember Judd Johns raised concern that a $10 cutoff-notice fee could be perceived as price gouging and argued $5 would cover city costs. City Attorney Bethanne Childs reminded the council that written notice and due process are required before terminating service for nonpayment. After discussion, the council adopted Resolution R1447-081825 to set the cutoff notice fee at $5 and approved a tank water fee.
The resolution passed on a unanimous roll call. The minutes do not provide a financial breakdown showing how the $5 fee compares to administrative cost per notice; councilmembers asked staff questions about mailing and hand-delivery procedures during the discussion.
