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.

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.

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.

They have easy access to outdoor space, where the virus’ strength is diminished.
