Oneida County Solid Waste staff to draft late‑fee policy after noting slow payments
Summary
Committee directed staff to develop a late‑fee policy after reports of slow payments by some accounts; options discussed included a 2–3% fee for 30‑day delinquencies and 5% for 90‑day delinquencies.
The Solid Waste Committee asked staff to draft a late‑fee policy after Director Lisa Bauknecht reported slow payments from some customers and the shutdown of one account for nonpayment.
Bauknecht said accounts are closely monitored and that "no late fees are currently charged." She reported that payments from War Transport have been slow and that the Whits End account was shut down for nonpayment. Committee member Kyle Timmons suggested implementing a 2–3% late fee for accounts 30 days past due; Chair Ted Cushing suggested a higher 5% fee for accounts 90 days delinquent. The committee recommended staff prepare a formal late‑fee policy for review at the next meeting; if adopted, the policy would be reflected on future account statements.
The committee did not set immediate fees or retroactive charges; the decision at this meeting was to draft policy language and bring it back for consideration.
