INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of the Finance Department
Date: April 28, 2015
To: Brian McDougal, City Manager / //�
From: Deborah Echols, Finance Director al ak C.v
RE: Proposed Resolution
Nature of the request:
City Council approval of certain utility bill adjustments in accordance with Section 110-191 of
the Code of Ordinances.
Staff Analysis, Considerations:
Under Section 110-191 of the Code of Ordinances,the utility billing division is authorized to make
adjustments, up to $250, to water and sewer on accounts that have had excessive water usage due
to documented leaks, or unexplained spikes in consumption. Adjustments over that amount must
be approved by City Council. "Exhibit A" attached to the resolution lists 16 accounts that quality
for adjustment. These accounts have already received the maximum staff 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.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 18966 which authorizes the
utility billing division to adjust 16 accounts in accordance with the City's water and sewer
adjustment policies.
Budget Consideration:
Council adjustments are $6,136.10 for water and $5,200.56 for sewer.
