Title
An Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 3 Of The Orland Park Village Code Regarding Water Shutoff Fees
History
Currently, the Village has three levels of shutoff fees the Village charged when forced to shut off water connections due to nonpayment by the property owner. With the implementation of the new Tyler water Utility Billing software, this tiered approach creates complications. It creates a cumbersome and inefficient process for Village staff. The current fee structure would require staff to run the same process three separate times for each tier of fees. In addition, the Finance Department does not see that this tiered fee schedule deters any delinquent shut offs as well. This ordinance amendment removes the old fee structure for only shutoff fees and enforces a single $100.00 fee for every time a resident gets their water turned off for nonpayment, regardless of how many times it has been shut off.
Financial Impact
The Village does not estimate any significant loss or gain from this amendment.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to adopt an Ordinance entitled: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 4, CHAPTER 3 OF THE ORLAND PARK VILLAGE CODE REGARDING WATER SHUTOFF FEES.
