COMMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Resolution No. 11712 t.hat 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 adiustment allowed under the current City Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Under Section 110-91 of the Code of Ordinances, the utility billing division is authorized to make scxxer
adjustments up to $250 on accounts that have had excessive xvater usage due to documented leaks, or
unexplained spikes in consumption. Exhibit "A" attached to the resolution lists the 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 adjustment of $250. These customers have ;vorked diligently xx ith
us to get the account resolved, have had all leaks repaired, and have had decreased consumption.
SUMMARY:
Proposed Resolution No. 11712 is recommended for approval by City Council to adjust the water accounts
accordance with the current ordinance as described in Exhibit "A" of the Proposed Resolution.
