WHEREAS, the current fee schedule is a charge of $375.00 for after-hours turn-ons;
and
WHEREAS, as the Utilities Department is moving toward an automated metering
system, installing "smart" meters, which have a feature that allow an electric service to be
disconnected and connected remotely through the metering system software; and
WHEREAS, by installing these meters on services as they are disconnected, the
service can be restored by personnel at the Utility Department's Dispatch Center without the need far
a line crew onsite after hours; and
WHEREAS, to eliminate unnecessary cost to delinquent customers, it is
recommended that the $375.00 after hours turn-on fee be removed from the fee schedule and that the
$50.00 turn-on fee be applied regardless of the time of day.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the fee schedule be revised to eliminate the
$375.00 after hours turn-on fee and that the $50.00 turn-on fee be applied regardless of the time of
