Chula staff propose payment plan for long-delinquent water account; returned-check action discussed
Summary
City Clerk Nicole Barron told the council that a customer had not paid in full since before November 2025 and proposed a payment plan (half now, remainder on next bill) and seeking legal advice about shutting off service during summer months; a returned-check collection and shut-off notice were also discussed.
City Clerk Nicole Barron reported a long-delinquent water account and proposed a payment plan at the July 6 meeting: "A customer has not paid water bill in full since prior to Nov 2025," she said, and recommended splitting the balance so half is paid now and the remainder is added to the next water bill. Barron also recommended contacting the city lawyer about whether the city may shut off water service during summer months.
Council also raised an immediate returned-check collection action and whether to send a shut-off notice. The meeting record does not show a final administrative resolution beyond the proposed plan and advice to pursue legal consultation regarding summer shut-offs.
