The Cost of Waiting to Renew
WHY ACT NOW
If Wilmington waits until 2029, when the body camera contract expires, this exact same program — including the same discounts in place today — would cost more due to
~5% average year-over-year inflation, adding $11,293.22 to the annual cost.

RE:
Holiday Utility Bill Gifting Program
As we are entering the time of year for thankfulness, reflection and giving, the City Staff would like to
introduce a way to “gift” someone with payment of a utility bill.
The holiday utility bill gift certificate program will assist those that are looking for a means to donate to
the less fortunate or just to gift a friend or loved one.
How this works:
A donation of any amount will be accepted thru all of the accepted forms of payment to the City.
The donor can specify a resident or ask staff for a recommendation (which will remain annonymous)
to direct the gift.
A gift certificate will be sent to that resident in the form attached.
The donation will be applied to the specified account.
The donor can remain annonymous at their request.
