CITY OF CHUBBUCK
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHUBBUCK,
IDAHO, LIMITING THE NUMBER OF DEPOSITS REQUIRED FOR A LANDLORD WHO
ENTERS INTO A CONTINUOUS UTILITY SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF
CHUBBUCK.
The City of Chubbuck has prepared a Continuous Utility Service Agreement for use with
Landlords. The agreement will allow utility services to revert back to the landlord's account
when the property is vacant rather than terminating the service and having the landlord set up
services each time the property is vacant.
Section 13.04.090 Chubbuck Municipal Code specifies that at the time of application for
utility service, the owner of the property requesting such service shall deposit with the city clerk
the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) or such amount as may be adopted in the future from time
to time by resolution of the mayor and council, for each service connection.
Presently the utility deposit in Chubbuck is $100 per connection or if the occupant or
owner has been delinquent, 3 times the estimated minimum monthly utility bill.
The Mayor and Council of the City of Chubbuck, Idaho finds that it is burdensome for a
Landlord with multiple properties to have to make deposit of$100 for each property and there for
adopt the following resolution to limit the total number of deposits from each landowner who
enters into a continuous utility service agreement with the City:
Each land owner will be required to pay the current deposit for each service connection to
such lot, property, building or residence with the total number of deposits for each
continuous utility service agreement up to but not to exceed five (5) deposits for a total
maximum deposit of $500. If the landowner has been delinquent, the deposit will be 3
times the estimated minimum monthly utility bill for the Landlord's five properties with
the largest individual utility bills but not to exceed five properties.
City staff is authorized to take all necessary steps to carry out the deposit collection
provided by this Resolution.
Passed by the Chubbuck City Council and approved by the Mayor on the Iriday of June,
2013.
