The Fredonia City Commission decides to make no changes to penalties and late days for city utility payments.

 Over the past several weeks, the Fredonia City commission has been deliberating about changing the the late due date for city utility payments when the due date falls on a holiday weekend. The discussion stemmed from concerns stated by a citizen at a September commission meeting. The proposed ordinance would have given residents extra time to make payments. City Clerk Kelly Bogner voiced her opposition to the changes at last night's meeting.

Mayor Allen Miller added that the event that would be affected by the change is a very rare occurance.

In the end, the city commission voted unanimously to defeat the new ordinance and there will be no change to late days and late fees for utility payments in Fredonia.
