CITY PARKS AND RECREATION
The City of Cashmere owns and maintains seven city parks at the following locations:
Airport Park (Mini Park)
From the early 1990’s and until 2008 this .48 acre park has
been used as a local community garden by residents of Fisher Street.
The park is generally flat with turf and shade trees.
Ardeta Park (Mini Park)
This tiny park is an oasis in the
center of Cashmere. The City Christmas tree is located in Ardeta Park.
In the early 1960’s the Ardeta Jr. Women’s Club began a campaign to acquire
a rundown service station and convert the property located at the corner of
Cottage Avenue and Aplets Way “for a spot of beauty in downtown Cashmere”.
The Club obtained an option to purchase the property for $4,500 and raised
the funds needed through donations. The Club also removed the old
buildings and equipment. By 1967, the Club completed their goal and
dedicated the park to the City.
Railroad Park (Mini Park)
Railroad Park is a .25 acre parcel
located next to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad tracks across from
Liberty Orchards Aplets & Cotlets at the corner of Mission and Aplets Way.
Cashmere’s Federated Women’s Club founded the park and provides ongoing
landscaping assistance. The City cooperates with the club by leasing
the property from Burlington Northern railroad and provides some
maintenance. The club also provided three (3) picnic tables.
River Street Park (Mini Park)
This is a small .68 acre mini park
located on River Street. The old City Hall was located on this site until it
was torn down in the late 1990s. The site features mature trees and
picnic tables.
Cottage Avenue Park (Neighborhood Park)
Cottage Avenue Park is a small .76
acre neighborhood park located on Cottage Avenue between Parkhill Street and
Vine Street. In 1919 Mr. E.C. Long donated to the Town of Cashmere
three quarters of an acre from his orchard for the purpose of forming a
park. During the 1920’s and 1930’s the park had a small bandstand
where a “Town Band” performed weekly concerts. The park helps to
establish an aesthetic quality for Cottage Avenue and is an important area
in the Tree City Program. The park features children’s play equipment
and picnic tables.
Simpson Park (Neighborhood Park)
Simpson Park is a 4.82 acre park
that is located on Pioneer Avenue between Chapel Street and Tigner Road.
In his last will and testament, Mr. O.G. France left to the “Citizens of
Cashmere” property to be used for public recreation. To clarify the
bequest, the Superior Court ruled in 1947 that the Town of Cashmere would be
vested with the title to the property “in trust” for the purposes of
providing recreation. The original name of the park was “Cashmere Play
Grounds”. The park features a small playground, picnic tables, gravel
parking, and two (2) softball fields which are maintained by Cashmere School
District.
Riverside Park (Community Park)
This 7.32 acre park was opened in
1987 and is the centerpiece of the park system. It is a popular
destination for rafters and hosts a number of special events ranging from
Founders Days to the Farmers Market and soccer events. It features a
multi-use soccer and softball field, open space, play equipment, sand
volleyball court, picnic area, parking, Riverside Trail access and boat ramp
access to the Wenatchee River. Picnic tables were installed in 1996 by
donation from the Cashmere Lions Club. The softball backstop was
donated by Mission Creek Community Club and constructed as an Eagle Scout
project, and the playground equipment was purchased in 1997 with a grant
from Cashmere/Douglas Community Network and Together! for Drug Free Youth.
The City accepts reservations for the picnic area at the east end of the park. Applications are available at City Hall. A non-refundable application fee and a fully-refundable cleaning deposit are required.
The Cashmere Riverside Center is
also located in Riverside Park. This 8000 square foot facility is
available for rent to individuals, groups and organizations by calling
(509)782-2178.
Riverside
Trail - The first segment of the Riverside trail extends from Aplets Way,
through Riverside Park and ends at North Douglas Street. This is a
primary trail that when completed will extend approximately 20 miles from
Leavenworth, through Riverside Park to Wenatchee. The project is
included in both the City of Wenatchee and Leavenworth’s Comprehensive Plan
and Chelan County’s Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. The
Chelan Douglas Land Trust is working to assist in the development of the
project.
Cashmere Water Park (Recreational)
Cashmere’s swimming pool was built
for the purpose of offering area residents a safe alternative to swimming in
the Wenatchee River. Over many years that role has expanded to become
a place where children learn to swim and have fun with their friends.
Easy access to the pool allows children to frequently attend as they can get
to the pool by walking or bicycling.
The first community “pool” was
established in the 1920’s. In 1936 improvements were made by building
a concrete pool and a bathhouse. A water filtering system was
installed in 1950. The present bathhouse was constructed in 1979. In
2001, Cashmere received a grant from Washington Wildlife and Recreation
Coalition to reconstruct the pool. The project was completed in 2003.
The pool is available for rent for
parties during off hours. Applications are available at the pool
office.

GENERAL UTILITY AND BILLING POLICIES
GENERAL
Cashmere provides three utility services - water, wastewater and sanitation.
Water meters are read the last three working days of the month and
statements are mailed within the first week of the succeeding month.
CONFLICT
In case of conflict between
the provisions of any ordinance, rate schedule or special contract and these
service regulations, the provisions of the ordinance, rate schedule or
special contract shall apply.
APPLICATION AND CONTRACT FOR
SERVICE (CMC 13.01.070)
Application for utility service may be made by visiting City Hall.
City Hall staff will assist you in filling out a short application and
collect an account service charge.
OWNER OF RENTAL PROPERTIES
RESPONSIBILITIES
The owner of all property,
including rental property, is ultimately responsible for payment of any
utility service provided to the property. The owner of rental property
may sign an agreement authorizing the renter to contract for utility
services for single family residences. The agreement does not,
however, absolve the landowner of responsibility for unpaid utility bills
after a tenant has moved out. As a courtesy, the City provides
notification of tenant delinquency to the property owner.
When service is put back into the
landowner's name between renters, the landowner shall pay a prorated share
of the minimum billing for that month, plus any usage over the prorated
minimum gallons.
All utility charges for
multi-family dwellings shall be billed to the property owner, not the
tenant. Utility billings for single-family dwellings shall be billed
to only one person, whether the owner or tenant. Duplexes with only
one water meter shall be considered multi-family dwellings for the purposes
of this section. (CMC 13.01.260)
METER READING, BILLING, AND
ADJUSTMENTS
Meters are read within the
last three working days of the month and statements are mailed within the
first week of the succeeding month. The reading and billing dates may
vary as much as five (5) days because of holidays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Access to meters shall be kept
clear of permanent obstructions such as dirt, debris, landscaping, rock,
etc. The City may remove such obstructions at the property owner’s
expense.
In cases where two or more customers receive service during a calendar month, the City Clerk-Treasurer shall prorate the charges per day. In no case will more than one minimum charge per utility service be charged during one month.
Bills will be mailed to the billing
address furnished by the customer, and failure to receive a bill will not
release the customer from obligation of payment when due.
PAYMENT OF UTILITY BILLS
(CMC 13.01.120)
All charges are due by the 17th of the month
in which the bills are issued and become delinquent the following business
day at which time a penalty will be assessed and delinquency notice issued.
If the 17th of the month falls on a non-business day, the bill is
due the next business day following the 17th and becomes
delinquent the following day.
· See “Disconnection of Service for Non-Payment”.
UTILITY EQUAL PAYMENT PLAN
During the month of May utilities may be set
up on an equal payment plan by filling out an application at City Hall.
The equal payments will be calculated by dividing the previous twelve months
utility bills for the residence by eleven. Equal payments are due as
detailed above under Payment of Utility Bills.
May of each year will be an
adjustment month. Any overpayment will be applied to the bill for the
next year, any underpayment will be due on the regular May due date.
Equal payments for the next year will be adjusted either up or down to
reflect the average for the previous year.
If at any time, the account becomes
more than 30 days past due, the full amount owing becomes due and payable,
and the equal payment agreement shall terminate.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PLAN (RCW
80.28.010)
The City has the capability to automatically
debit your utility payment directly from your checking or savings account.
Enrollment forms are available at City Hall. After enrollment in the
plan you will continue to receive your monthly bill as usual. On the
17th of each month, (or the next working day if the 17th
falls on a weekend or holiday) the amount of your bill will be automatically
debited from your account and paid to the City.
If sufficient funds are not
available in the account at the time the payment is due, the payment will be
considered delinquent, a late payment penalty will be added, and the return
will be treated as an NSF check. See the returned check policy in this
section. If an automatic payment NSF is received two times during a
twelve-month period, the customer will be withdrawn from the Automatic
Payment Plan.
DELINQUENCY NOTICE (CMC
13.01.120)
If a bill is not paid by 5:00 p.m. on the due
date, there will be a delinquency notice prepared, which will be sent by
mail to the customer, for the amount past due plus an administration fee.
If the customer is a renter, a notice will also be mailed to the property
owner.
DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE FOR NON-PAYMENT
(CMC 13.01.120)
When utility payment has not
been received by 5:00 p.m. on the last working day of the month, City
personnel will place a door hanger on the premises the morning of the next
working day stating the following:
Non-payment Notification Fee
A non-payment notification fee has been added to the account, and
If payment in full is not received in City Hall office by 10:00 a.m. the following morning the service will be disconnected and an additional reconnection fee will be added.
Drop box may be used in this instance only to avoid disconnection.
- n-payment notification fee has been added to the account, and
The non-payment notification fee
is due and payable after 5:00 p.m. on the last working day of the month
regardless of receipt of notification.
If payment has not been received by 10:00 a.m. the following morning City personnel will disconnect utility service and leave a door hanger with the following information:
Disconnection Notice Doorhanger
Amount due including an additional reconnection fee.
If reconnection is to be performed after 3:00 p.m. an after-hours reconnection fee will be charged.
The reconnection fee is payable after 10:00 a.m. regardless of whether or
not disconnection has been performed.
RETURNED CHECKS
There will be a returned check fee for all checks returned to the City for
non-sufficient funds or account closed. The customer will be notified
by telephone or mail of receipt of a returned check, at which time the
customer must make arrangements with the City Clerk-Treasurer to pay the
amount of the check plus the returned check fee in cash. Failure to
make satisfactory arrangements for payment of the returned check will
result in disconnection of the service for which the check was originally
written.
The City shall require cash payment
of utility or other billings after receipt by the City of three returned
checks in a 24-month period.
CUSTOMER RIGHTS
The City shall enclose with
each delinquency notice, details of the City's credit and disconnection
policies and the customer's rights including:
Informal Conference: The customer's right to an informal conference to discuss a disputed bill or inability to pay their bill. The customer may appear in person at City Hall, or may confer by telephone at (509) 782-3513 during normal business hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday).
The
customer may be represented by counsel of his/her own choosing. The
customer shall be entitled to present his/her position to the
Clerk-Treasurer. The City shall advise the customer of the reasons for
the City's determination.
Disputed Bills:
A customer who disputes the amount of his/her bill,
shall have the right to an informal conference with the City Clerk-Treasurer
prior to the date shown on the disconnection notice. The
Clerk-Treasurer shall review the amount of the disputed bill and may adjust
it if it is found to be in error.
Appeal: If the customer is not satisfied with the determination of the Clerk-Treasurer concerning his/her request for adjustment of a disputed bill, the customer shall have the right of appeal to the Cashmere City Council. The customer shall give notice to the City Clerk-Treasurer of his or her request for appeal. The Clerk-Treasurer shall place the appeal on the earliest possible council meeting agenda. The customer may appear in person before the Council or appeal in writing to the City Council.
Specific Rights: The customer has the right to inspect City records regarding customer's account during regular City business hours; to present independent evidence to the Clerk-Treasurer; and to be represented by an attorney, or other agent.
APPEALS OF HIGH USAGE WATER
BILLS DUE TO LEAKS
When abnormally high usage is determined by the City Water Department to
be due to a leak, a significantly high billing may be appealed to the City
Clerk-Treasurer provided the leak was not caused by the intentional act of
the utility customer or his agents or employees.
Significantly high means the water portion of the utility billing is over $100 more than the ordinary billing for that month according to the billing history for the account. The Clerk-Treasurer or designee may agree to limit the affected billing to not more than the historical billing for the month in question plus ten percent of the total actual metered water billing amount. Such appeals may only be made for the first month’s billing that is significantly high as a result of the leak.
If billing relief is granted, the
customer shall be responsible for documentation to the city, in the form of
a receipt or City inspection, that the leak has been repaired within 30 days
of the first significantly high billing resulting from the leak.
Failure to repair the leak and provide the required documentation within 30
days will result in the entire bill, plus all applicable penalties, becoming
due and payable to the City.
DEFERRED PAYMENT PROGRAM
A customer who is unable to pay the full amount of his or her bill due
to financial difficulties shall have the right to request payment deferment
for a specified amount of time.
The customer shall complete a
“Deferred Payment Application” form. Deferred payments may be
requested only once per quarter. Deferred payments must be approved by
the Clerk-Treasurer. Permission to defer payment must be received from
the property owner before a deferred payment agreement will be entered into
by the City.
The Clerk-Treasurer shall make
every effort to arrange a reasonable and feasible payment program for a
customer with financial difficulties making it impossible to pay the full
amount of the bill.
CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION OF
SERVICE
The disconnection of service for any cause shall not release the
customer from the obligation to pay for services received or amounts
specified in the City's service regulations or any written contract with the
customer. The City shall not be liable for injury, loss or damage
resulting from disconnection.
CHANGE OF OCCUPANCY
When a change of occupancy or
of legal responsibility takes place on any premises being served by the
City, notice of such change shall be given at the City Hall within a
reasonable time prior to such change. The outgoing customer may be
held responsible for all service supplied until such notice has been
received by the City.

when processing each service application, for each new account.

reconnection.

service account any unpaid charges for service previously furnished to the
same customer at any location in the City's service area. The
City may permit arrangements for payment of such transferred balance under
the guidelines and procedures of the Section entitled "Deferred Payment
Program". The City may apply any payment received from the customer
toward the customer's transferred balance.
