3.70.080 Installment payment plans.
Per PMC 3.60.040 credit cards are accepted for all billed debts. The City’s use of an installment payment plan is considered an alternative of last resort, when there are no savings or other credit avenues available to debtor. An installment payment plan is not authorized merely as a mechanism for customer convenience. All installment payment plans must be in writing in a form prescribed by the City and signed or agreed upon in writing by both the customer and the Director. Installment payment plans are available as follows:
(1) For debts owed by individuals only. Installment plans are not available for debts owed by corporations, partnerships, businesses or other entities or associations.
(2) For debts as defined in PMC 3.70.010.
(3) All installment payment plans must provide for payment in full within no later than 12 months of the original bill date with $100.00 per month as the recommended minimum payment. An applicant may request a financial hardship waiver from the Director who is authorized to set a lower monthly payment. [Ord. 4583 § 1, 2022; Code 1970 § 3.300.080.]
