ORDINANCE 97-808
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FEES FOR
UTILITY BILLING
WHEREAS, the city currently assesses penalties for delinquent water, sewer, and
storm sewer payments, and;
WHEREAS, the city does not currently assess the same penalties for delinquent
refuse payments, and;
WHEREAS, to do so would provide consistency to all utility billing practices, and;
WHEREAS, complying with the provisions of Section 715.21 is administratively
cumbersome and not cost effective,
NOW THEREFORE, based on these findings, the City Council of the City of
Hopkins, Minnesota does hereby ordain:
Section 1: That the Hopkins City Code 605.04 be amended by the addition of
subdivision 2. Due Dates. Refuse charges are due and payable on the due date stated
on the periodic city utility bill. Each billing for refuse which is not paid when due, shall
incur a 10% penalty charge on the current billed amount.
Section 2: That the Hopkins City Code be amended by removing Section 715.21 in its
entirety.
Section 3: The effective date of this ordinance shall be twenty days after publication.
