Discussion:
The second interim tax bill payment was due in March, 2020. To alleviate the negative impact on residents due to the COVID-10 pandemic, on March 18, 2020 Mayor Dilkens authorized an email poll seeking a waiver of penalty for any late payments not received for that scheduled installment. As a result of the poll, the recommended resolution was passed unanimously by Council.
Risk Analysis:
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the rapid rate at which the situation is changing, this motion was put forward for Council's consideration via email poll as it was an emergency situation requiring Council direction given that time did not permit holding a special meeting of Council.
Financial Matters:
The City Treasurer indicated that if the proposed motion was approved, it would cost approximately $80,000.
