The billing register for February 11, 1993 ( for service during January 1993) shows that a bill was produced for account number EDGW-000309-0000-1 (309 Edgewater Circle) customer Murray Dalgleish, P'.O. Box 1203, McCall, Id 83638 . A total of 1,421 bills were produced during that cycle. Thirty-five of these were withdrawn and forwarded via inter-office mail . These 35 were . for bills to City Departments and to City Employees and are forwarded via interoffice mail to avoid postage costs .. All bills produced for this cycle showed a due date of March 10, 1993 . 2 . The remaining 1,386 bills were delivered to the McCall Post Office on February 12, 1993. There were no bills returned as undeliverable and there have been no other allegations of nonreceipt. There is no way to document whether or not the bill was received. 3 . On March 11, 1993, penalties and interest were applied to all accounts that had not been paid as of close of, business on March 10th. This action is required by Section *-1-41 of the McCall City Code. Although not a Code requirement, a "Reminder" Card was mailed to all delinquent accounts on March 11, 1993, showing the total unpaid amount. A total of 76 of these reminders were mailed. Again, there were no reminders returned by the post office as undeliverable and there are no other allegations of nonreceipt. There is also no way to document whether or not the reminder was actually received. 4 . On March 13, 1993, bills were prepared for February 1993 . • The bill for the account in question showed the January billing amount plus interest and penalties as "PB" for "Previous Balance" as well as the February billing information. This was NOT a two-month bill . 5 . On March 31, 1993, since the January bill was still unpaid, the City Staff complied with Section 8-1-51 of the McCall - City Code which calls for a pre-termination notice by Certified Mail . This notice is to fulfill "Due Process" requirements that the customer be notified that termination is about to take place and that the customer be notified of the opportunity for a pre-termination hearing. Payment for the January bill was received on April 5, 1993 . The interest and penalties were paid on April 7, 1993 and the account is currently paid in full . 6 . The dates referred to in the second paragraph are the dates that meter readings are entered and have no bearing on an unmetered account. 7 . Staff recommends that the adjustment be denied. Payment for the January bill was not made by March 10th as required by the City Code. The staff took all actions that are required by the McCall City Code.
