On January 27 Council meeting there is a report recommending waving the penalty for late payment of the September to October water and wastewater bill. I am supportive of this one time “forgiveness” for reasons identified in the report. i)  The timing of the Canada Postal strike, specifically that it started just before the mail out of the bills.  ii) The relative newness of the billing cycle being every two months versus quarterly and hence reasonableness of the hypothesis that persons would not have recognized that a water bill should have been delivered and accordingly contacted the municipality to find out how much is owed.

 As always, if you want to make a deputation please register with clerks@king.ca by January 27.  If you want to send an email to Council please send to clerks@king.ca an email by noon Jan. 27.
