COMMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 13564 that authorizes the utility billing
division to adjust utility accounts in accordance with the City's sewer adjustment policy. These accounts have
adjustments in excess of the $250 adjustment allowed under the current City Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Under Section 110-191 of the Code of Ordinances, the utility billing division is authorized to make sewer
adjustments up to $250 on accounts that have had excessive water usage due to documented leaks, or
unexplained spikes in consumption. Exhibit "A" attached to the resolution lists the accounts that 1 am
rccommending for adjustment. These accounts have had serious problems with leaks for several months and
have already received the maximum sewer adjustment of $250. These customers have worked diligently with
us to get the account resolved, have had all leaks repaired, and have had decreased consumption.
SUMMARY:
Proposed Resolution No. 13564 recommended for approval by City Council to adjust the water accounts in
accordance with the current ordinance as described in Exhibit "A" of the Proposed Resolution.
