City of Hillsboro discusses utility deposit system
The Hillsboro City Council met on Tuesday, April 20 and discussed the utility deposit system. Council member Brent Driggers was absent.
“Currently if a customer cannot produce a letter of credit from a previous utility they are required to post a $125 deposit. The deposit is held for one year or until the utility service is discontinued. Deposits are refunded with interested earned at the end of the year. If someone discontinues service and leaves without paying their final bill the deposit is credited to the outstanding balance,” said City Administrator Matt Stiles.
Stiles went on to explain that bookkeeping for the deposits requires a significant amount of monthly paperwork and never balances out. He said that state statute requires that the city pay customers an interest rate on their deposits that is set by the Kansas Corporation Commission.

President Biden inherited it from
President Trump, who inherited it from
President Obama, who took it from
President George W. Bush. Unpopular, seemingly unending and unwinnable, the war is a case study in how the choices of one administration echo into the next.

Coronavirus Today: Three places the surge spared


Real estate is all about
location, location, location. The same seems to apply to the pandemic.
While L.A. County’s overall coronavirus case rate skyrocketed by 450% during the holiday surge, there were certain neighborhoods that saw nothing more than a brief blip on the radar. My colleagues Matt Stiles and Hayley Smith report on three of those
surge-safe communities: West Hollywood, Malibu and Playa del Rey.

The fact that these communities are generally more affluent than the areas that suffered the most is hardly a coincidence. Most people who have avoided the coronavirus’ wrath have jobs that allow them to work from home. They aren’t living in overcrowded apartments with multiple generations of family members. They have easy access to outdoor space, where the virus’ strength is diminished.
