Natural gas board asks Humboldt to draft 'Extreme Weather' payment policy
Summary
Gene Betz asked the board to consider an Extreme Weather Policy so customers could arrange payments if another polar vortex like 2021 strikes; the board instructed staff to consult the city attorney, with no formal ordinance proposed at the meeting.
Gene Betz was noted as present to discuss an Extreme Weather Policy for the natural gas system, telling the board that "If there should be another polar vortex like in 2021, the natural gas board would like to have something in place for payment arrangements for the customer." The minutes record that the board directed staff to contact the attorney to follow up on drafting possible policy language.
The request was recorded under the Natural Gas report with no motion or vote authorizing a new ordinance; the minutes show the item as a discussion point and the next steps are attorney consultation. The entry does not specify who will draft the policy or any proposed payment terms, and the minutes list no timeline for a return report to the board.
