Candidate introduces bid for county commission; resident asks council for help with a high water bill
Summary
Candidate Stephanie Lang introduced herself to council; disabled veteran Richard Parsons asked for help with an unexplained increase in his water bill and was told city officials would investigate.
At the April 27 meeting Stephanie Lang, a candidate for Washington County Commissioner, appeared before council to introduce her campaign and provide background about her candidacy.
During public comment, Richard Parsons of Leonard Avenue, a disabled veteran, told council he has an unexplained increase on his water bill and said he cannot afford the higher amount. Parsons said he has been in contact with City Law Director Mr. Webster about the matter. Mayor Abdella and Safety‑Service Director Mr. Rhodes told Parsons they would check the cause and get back to him. That follow‑up was recorded as a staff action; no formal relief or adjustment was announced at the meeting.
The council also noted procedural business and later entered executive session; no further public decisions on Parsons' case were recorded in the minutes.
