Board approves four sanitary sewer account adjustments; one adjustment for multi-month leak
Summary
The Lawrence City utility board approved four sanitary sewer account adjustments in a single voice vote. The superintendent said one adjustment of $2,334.18 covered a leak lasting a little over three months and that the homeowner repaired it.
The Chair moved and the board approved four sanitary sewer account adjustments in a single voice vote during the March meeting.
The Chair read the four adjustments as recorded in the meeting: sanitary sewer adjustment at 4829 Bendy Drive for $253.15; sanitary sewer adjustment at 7719 Baywood Drive for an amount shown in the transcript as "$2.86 68" (format unclear); sanitary sewer adjustment at 10502 Feroswine Drive for an amount shown in the transcript as "$3.00 $1.39" (format unclear); and sanitary sewer adjustment at 7729 Camfield Way for $2,334.18. The motion to vote on all four at once was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
During the superintendent's report earlier in the meeting he recommended approval of all four adjustments and said the $2,334.18 item "was a 3 over a little over a 3 month leak adjustment, with the homeowner getting it located because they could get it fixed," attributing the explanation to the superintendent.
Why it matters: account adjustments change billed amounts for specific customers and are recorded in the municipal utility minutes; one large adjustment reflects a prolonged leak that the homeowner subsequently repaired.
The meeting record shows a voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call votes or the names of movers and seconders.
