4. Utility Hardship Policy pursuant to McCall City Code 6-4-250.
5. 2009 Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.
Approval of the hardship application will reduce the customer's base water rate from $33.70 per month to $22.50 per
month. The differential of $11.20 will be reimbursed from the General Fund for the six month period ending
04/30/10, a total of $67.20, by crediting the customer's account.
Council may also waive the penalty to avoid undue hardship without reimbursement from the General Fund. The
applicant has incurred $52.01 in penalty charges since the application for hardship. The Treasurer recommends
Council also waive the penalty charges.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Utility Hardship Application and waive the penalties and service charges.
