M. Consider penny policy for the water

[8:08]
» Mr. Mr. Chairman, will you
have this explained on on record for the
[8:13]
public that's watching? Uh so there is
some explanation and understanding of
[8:17]
how that process will work, please.
So the new policy would be uh because
[8:23]
pennies are no longer in circulation, no
longer in uh
[8:28]
being minted. Um, we are implementing a
pending policy that will start with the
[8:34]
new billing system and that will be
October 5th when we begin again take
[8:40]
bills payments at the water department
for sanitation and water uh, county
[8:46]
water and everything will be rounded up
to a nickel by to the nickel and the
[8:53]
customer will receive credit on their
meal for the difference. So if it's 2
[8:58]
cents difference in the nickel, then
they will get 2 cents credit or it's 5
[9:03]
cents. Um so they'll never be paid more
than what they actually used. They will
[9:09]
get credit for that and it will come off
their next month's bill. And so if
[9:13]
they're only only if they're paying with
cash, meaning it only affects cash
[9:16]
payers and they'll have credit on the
bill and next month it'll
[9:20]
[clears throat] offset by a nickel and
it'll just kind of be an on Okay.
