request was for Robert and Jody Sutton at 445 Ruddell Hill Circle. Councilmember <br /> Carpenter moved to grant the water meter and Councilmember Cooke seconded. All <br /> voted in favor except Councilmembers Mynatt and Pectol. <br /> "DISCUSSION WITH UTILITIES AS REQUESTED BY DANA MYNATT <br /> Councilmember Mynatt said she had a few questions she would like to ask the <br /> Chairman of the Water Utility Commission. Chairman Charles Schaaf and Secretary <br /> David Dame came forward for questioning. Ms. Mynatt asked Mr. Schaaf the status on <br /> the $766,000 under billing to Townsends of Arkansas. Mr. Schaaf said that the law only <br /> allows the utilities to recoup up to 3 years for the error and Townsends has agreed to <br /> pay that back over a 4 year period. Ms. Mynatt then asked what, if anything, was the <br /> utility department doing to insure that this kind of mistake does not happen again. Mr. <br /> Schaaf said he was very disappointed that the utilities auditors did not find the error. He <br /> said they have since checked every large customer to make sure they are paying the <br /> rate. The utility commission has appointed a task force to recommend policy and <br /> procedures for the utility employees to follow. Ms. Mynatt asked if the commission was <br /> going to reprimand or terminate any employee over the error. Mr. Schaaf said that had <br /> not been discussed by the commission. Councilmember Krug said the council should <br /> have been notified about the under billing instead of hearing it second hand. Mr. Schaaf <br /> said they were advised by their legal council not to notify the council until a settlement <br /> was made with Townsends. <br /> CODE ENFORCEMENT REPORT <br /> "CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE TO REZONE 4.88 ACRES FROM R-1 TO C-1 <br /> REQUESTED BY FRANK TRIPP <br />
