Council waives late fees after postal error left two Seattle payments unposted
Summary
Clerk reported two Seattle property owners mailed payments on April 7 and April 9 that did not post due to postal error; the council authorized waiving their late fees by motion during the May 5 meeting.
Clerk Luanne told the council that two property owners in Seattle mailed payments that did not post despite being mailed on April 7 and April 9; one envelope was returned to Town Hall bearing an incorrect routing that the Postmaster later attributed to a postal error. Luanne said both owners had no prior late payments and asked permission to waive the accrued late fees.
Allenbaugh moved to authorize Luanne to waive the late fees for the two affected property owners; Sandretto seconded and the motion passed by majority vote. The minutes record the council’s action but do not list the exact dollar amounts of the waived fees in the transcript.
