SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution 14777
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 14777 which
authorizes the utility billing division to adjust the Port Arthur Housing Authority, Carver.
Terrace account in accordance with the City's sewer adjustment policies.
BACKGROUND
Under Section 110-191 of the Code of Ordinances, the utility billing division is
authorized to make sewer adjustments up to $2>0 on accounts that have had excessive water
usage due to documented leaks, or unexplained spikes in consumption. This account was
billed erroneously for several months. When the billing was corrected, an enormous bill was
the result. The staff has worked with the Housing Authority to reach agreement on a fair
amount for them to pay. They have agreed to pay $153,162 over twelve months, see PR
14776. .
