Proposed Resolution No. 11730
COMMENTS
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the City Council adopt Proposed Reso!ution No. 11730 [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 ad..justment allowed under the current City Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
Under Section 110-91 of the Code of Ordinances, the utility billing division is attthorized to make scxxc~'
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 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 worked diligently xxith
us to get the account resolved, have had all leaks repaired, and have had decreased consumption.
SUMMARY:
Proposed Resolution No. 11730 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.
