Ohovme Sandra Ostheimer Clerk of Council President Council aly 3 To Port Clinton City Counci,July28,2020 Iwish to address council on whatland many other housing providers consider unfair charges by the water department. As you know landlords are responsible for water and sewer charge fees not paid by tenants when they leave the rental and have not paid up to date. The city was not disconnecting water service for nonpayment until this week. Please refer to the attached copy of a bill. Notice the underlined areas. The city chose to extend the deadline for disconnects an extra month beyond when they legally could have disconnected a month earlier. These fees also include late penalties. Ihave referred to the copies of delinquent notices from May, June, and July. The worst offenders owed $421.67 and $344.95. Ifthey move without paying, the additional charges from this month will be added. These bills all include late fees of 10% per month. When talking with Julie at the water department she mentioned that since I received copies of delinquent notices, IC could evict since that was in violation of the rental agreement. As you know, this week is the first time it is legal to evict someone if the rental property is financed with a federally insured loan. And according to. Julie late fees of 10% will be assessed. And if service has to be disconnected due to non-payment and then reconnected, those fees of $30 each will also be assessed to the property owner. be waved to the rental property owner. At the very least la am asking the late fees, disconnect and reconnect fees The City of Port Clinton says it encourages small businesses. Let'sseesome evidence of that. auBip PORT CLINTON WATER DEPT 1868 EAST PERRY STREET PORT CLINTON OHIO 43452-1497 ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED MONDAY-I FRIDAY, 8:00.
