I
The draft changes in the rules and regulations pertaining to customer
deposits, billing, termination of service for non-payment and the procedure
for disputing a bill were discussed at length. Several changes were decided
upon - deposits will be retained by the District for a period of two years;
any deposit which is retained longer than six months shall earn interest at the
rate of 7%; a collection fee will be charged for each trip the District makes
in an attempt to collect past due amounts from the customer,- special financial
counseling will be made available for any customer with hardship or other spec-
ial extenuating circumstances; with respect to termination for non-payment, those
62 years of age or older and the handicapped shall be notified 48 hours in advance;
and, in the event of termination of service, any reconnection will be treated as a
new account, will be required to fill out a new application and will be required to
submit a deposit.
Director Maass moved that the Board instruct District Counsel Simon to in-
corporate the billing policy into the draft rules and regulations and to instruct
the Office Manager that the policy will go into effect with the first billing
cycle on the new computer. Amounts of the collection fee and bad check charge
will be considered by ordinance at a later date. Director Corbett seconded the
motion. ROLL CALL: Duffy, absent; all other Directors, aye. SO MOVED.
