To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council

RE: PR No. 23087 —Dumpster Billing Adjustment
Nature of the Request:
City Council allows approval of certain utility bill adjustments in accordance with Sections 86-
117 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Port Arthur. The account listed in the attachment
of the proposed resolution is needing adjustment because the dumpster was billed but not
delivered.
Budget Considerations:
Revenue would be impacted through Solid Waste Account No. 403-50-000-4371-00-00-000
Recommendation:
These adjustments are recommended by staff, per the customer's request. I recommend that the
City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 23087, authorizing the water bill adjustment for
Gulf Copper as described/outlined above.
