INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Office of the Finance Department
Date: June 19, 2015
To: Brian McDougal, City Manager
From: Deborah Echols, Finance Director Olti
RE: Proposed Resolution
Nature of the request:
City Council approval of certain utility bill adjustments in accordace 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 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 15 accounts that I am recommending for adjustment. These accounts have had
serious problems with leaks for several months and have already received the maximum
sewer and water adjustments 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. 18971 which authorizes
the utility billing division to adjust 15 accounts in accordance with the City's water and sewer
adjustment policies. These accounts have adjustments in excess of the $250 adjustment for
sewer and $250 adjustment for water allowed under the current City Ordinance.
Budget Consideration:
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 18971
which authorizes the utility billing division to adjust 15 accounts in accordance with the City's
water and sewer adjustment policy. These accounts have adjustments in excess of the $250
adjustment allowed under the current City Ordinance.
