MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
SEWER SERVICE CHARGE
Mr. George L. Stanton, LLB, Director of Legal Research, Director of
Community Relations of Associated Home Builders of the Greater East Bay, Inc.,
appeared before the Board and stated that his organization felt the service
charge, as presently administered by the District, was not in acceptable
form.
Mr. Stanton suggested that the 1% per month service charge be divided and
allow 1/2 to be paid on principal and the other 1/2 interest, and to allow
payments in any amounts on principal with corresponding reduction in the
monthly service charge.
President Mitchell stated that the service charge was an optional form
of paying fees due the District and was not intended to be in the form of a
loan with payments of principal and interest.
President Mitchell further stated the District did not want to get into
the finance business.
After discussion with Mr. Stanton, it was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded
by Member Howard, that the District Board review its policy relative to con-
nection charges and service charges and refer the matter to the District staff
for recommendation. Carried by the following vote:
