Discussion centered around the attached reference -memo and how the procedure will work. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The proposed contract arrangement suggests the minimum down payment of $50.00. The committee discussed a proposed down -payment of 50% or a minimum of about $210.00. The concensus agreed that this amount needed for cash in advance of service would defeat the purpose of the "easy payment plan". It was felt that the County has financial protection to the contract with provision to terminate the service if the payment is not on schedule and paid concurrently with the water usage. )_ The referenced plan further suggests that the contract should not be made available to landlords. After discussion, we agreed that it would be feasible to have landlords avail themselves of the contract procedure with the following conditions: That is the landlord must pay for both the water service and the contract until the contract is fully paid. After that he wouid be free to have the account switched to the tenant's name (only if each unit is metered). There must be a meter for at least each building. The interest in having landlords to be eligible is because there is a large quantity of existing taps that can service these units that have been installed with the Phase I pipeline work. It was felt that this contract plan may help get more of those units onto the system and eliminate the use of wells that are possibly polluted. -- LIP
