The current table of utility payment due dates, penalty dates, and disconnection dates <br />adopted in Section 86.199 of the City Code includes a four-day gap between the payment due <br />date and the late payment penalty date. This gap causes the City to mail a large number of past- <br />due notices each month prior to the date that late payment penalties are owed. <br /> <br />2. The Finance Department has recommended that Section 86.199 of the City Code be <br />revised to make utility payment due dates correspond to late payment penalty dates, thereby <br />eliminating the gap between payment due dates and payment penalty dates, and the need to mail <br />a large number of past-due notices each month. <br /> <br />3. The City Council wishes to implement this recommendation by revising this City Code <br />section. <br /> <br />BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, <br />TEXAS: <br /> <br />SECTION 1.
