body
Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning updates to Title 23 required to have it more clearly reflect established billing procedures.
Background
This update to Title 23 begins with its reference from Title 18, Water and Sewers, established in Sec. 18-114, which notes that "...customers will have consolidated bills presented for other services including but not limited to, wastewater, solid waste, and stormwater in accordance with the provisions of this code," and further provides for "...a discounted (net) rate to be paid whenever payment is made on or before the due date stated on the bill, "otherwise the gross rate shall apply which includes a penalty of ten percent of the net amount billed for water."
Billing for Stormwater Management, established in Sec 23-203, states that the "...fees shall become due and payable in accordance with the rules and regulations of the utilities department pertaining to the collection of the stormwater user fees." This update will insert the paragraph pertaining to the discounted (net) rate from Sec. 18-114 (water) and Sec. 18-210 (Sewer) as written below:
Stormwater bills must be paid on or before the due date shown on the bill to obtain the net or discount rate. Otherwise, the gross rate shall apply which includes a penalty of ten percent of the net amount billed, failure to receive a bill will not release a customer from the payment obligation, nor extend the due date."
Financial Impact
