Sanitary commissioners approve $350,000 transfer, OK $715,219 in claims
Summary
The Muncie City Board of Sanitary Commissioners approved minutes, accepted $715,219.09 in registered claims and passed Resolution 2025-12 to transfer $350,000 to a sewage refund account after a water-company overbilling.
The Muncie City Board of Sanitary Commissioners on Sept. 17 approved its Sept. 3 meeting minutes, accepted registered claims totaling $715,219.09 and passed Resolution 2025-12 to transfer $350,000 from Fund 6110000111 to the sewage refund account (Fund 61186439011).
MSD staff member Dina Cox presented Resolution 2025-12, saying, “I’m asking the board for approval of resolution 20 25 12. It's asking for to appropriate cash from Funds 6110000111 in the amount of 350,000 to be transferred to the sewage refund account, which is Fund6 1186439011.” Cox said the transfer was prompted by a customer requesting a cash refund after an overbilling by the water company.
Board action on the minutes and claims was routine: the board approved the Sept. 3 minutes and then approved registered claims totaling $715,219.09 after a motion and second; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript and commissioners voiced their approval by saying “aye.”
On the fund-transfer resolution, Commissioners debated only briefly. Commissioner Overton noted the billing error was not the sanitary district’s and said, “somebody’s in big trouble for missing a 0.” The board then moved, seconded and approved Resolution 2025-12. The transcript records the motions and unanimous vocal “ayes” but does not record a roll-call tally or individual vote names.
The board also approved a motion to adjourn after brief additional remarks praising district staff.
