Regular City Council Meeting <br />September 4,2003 <br />Page 16 <br /> <br />$1,155,000.00, so, he still does not think that First Choice is billing the city <br />properly or they are not getting the accounts in the right department. He <br />thought that it needs more research to find out what is happening. Mr. <br />Campbell said in his departments, they have over billed in the Lift Stations and <br />at the Wastewater Plant, and he felt that some of those accounts really go over <br />into the Water Treatment Plant. <br /> <br />Councilman Bell felt they should go ahead and cut this now and the Council will <br />be able to move it at the end of the year. He said they have a number of these <br />accounts that are way out. Mr. Anderson advised that they had already cut it <br />back to $605,000.00 so what they would be doing is cutting it an additional <br />$230,000.00. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley requested Mr. Anderson to take a look at those other accounts. <br />Mr. Anderson said what he would rather do on that is, because he has sent Mr. <br />Campbell copies of First Choice bills, and he knows which pump goes to what <br />he is in better position to say that it is allocated correctly. Mr. Campbell said <br />he would look at those bills and see what is happening. <br /> <br />Mayor Fendley wanted to know if they can make a footnote that the <br />recommendation is to go to $375,000.00 and asked Mr. Campbell if he could <br />have that ready by Monday and then the Council will review it at that time to <br />see if that is a valid number. <br /> <br />Councilman Bell asked if they needed to look at and discuss the utility franchise <br />fee and the administrative fee that are transferred at the end of the year, and if <br />they place them in the budget now, is that approving them for next year, or the <br />ones that are coming up this year or have they already been approved. Mr. <br />Anderson advised those are approved as part of the budget process. He <br />normally does not pay those until right before the end of the year. Councilman <br />Bell advised that he understands that. He asked if because it was approved in <br />the budget last year, is it automatic now. Mr. Anderson said it has been <br />authorized by a previous Council. <br /> <br /> <br />
