ORDINANCE NO. 2011-08-02
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARTINDALE, TEXAS, REVISING POLICIES FOR DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS FOR SOLID WASTE SERVICES AND WASTEWATER SERVICES; INCLUDING PROCEDURAL PROVISIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES.
RECITALS:
1. The City provides wastewater and
solid waste disposal service to the residents of the City, and it is necessary to collect reasonable rates for these services in a prompt manner to enable the City to continue providing the benefits of these services.

3. The City Council wishes to revise City policies related to delinquent utility accounts in order to discourage delinquencies and promote timely payment of City utility bills.
4. The City Council has determined that the policies set out in this ordinance are fair and reasonable, and are likely to contribute to increased collection rates for solid waste and wastewater services.
SECTION 4. (a) A person who violates any provision of this ordinance related to public health and sanitation shall be punished, upon conviction, by a fine not to exceed $2,000.00
(b) A person who violates any other provision of this ordinance shall be punished, upon conviction, by a fine not to exceed $500.00.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this ordinance, a separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day on or during which a violation occurs or continues.
(e) Prosecution for violation of a provision of this ordinance is not a prerequisite or bar to any other remedy or relief for the violation under state law or this ordinance.
