ITEM N0.4 CONSIDER A RESOLUTION WAIVING ALL CITY-OWNED UTILITY
CHARGES FOR CONSUMPTION IN JUNE AND JULY, 2008, FOR
~ ~~ ~~~ ALL PROPERTIES (RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, OR INDUSTRIAL)
WHICH HAVE SUFFERED INTERIOR STRUCTURE PENETRATION
BY FLOOD WATER AS A RESULT OF THE 2008 FLOODING.
COMMENT: To help facilitate the clean up process and reduce the
extra expenses that the residents and businesses who sustained interior
flood damage are experiencing, the Finance and Public Works Divisions
are recommending that the fees for City owned utility services be waived
for services incurred in June and July, 2008. This will allow the
occupants sufficient time to clean their properties and make decisions
regarding future occupancy. The total number of accounts affected is
247 residential accounts in the Parkview Terrace/Idyllwild neighborhoods
and 12 commercial accounts in the Stevens Drive/S Gilbert/S Riverside
area. This represents 1 % of existing accounts and fees waived are
estimated at approximately $20,000 per month.
