Kenly approves utility bill adjustments and reviews police department incident report
Summary
Council approved utility-bill adjustments for three accounts tied to leaks and a left-on spigot and reviewed the police department’s incident summary, which included an armed robbery investigation, drug charges and awards for officers. Both items were accepted by the Council; utility adjustments were approved by motion, 3-0.
Town Manager reported three recommended utility adjustments at the March 10 meeting: a $173.89 adjustment for 600 D Lincoln Drive after a leak near the meter box (bringing the bill to $48.73), a $512.65 adjustment for 412 West 7th Street after an underground leak repaired by a plumber (reducing a $547.37 bill), and a $222.03 adjustment for Kenly Village where a spigot was left on. Staff noted none of the locations had prior adjustments and that the adjustments follow standard procedures.
Council approved all three adjustments by motion of Council Member Keith Davis, seconded by Council Member Beverly Knight; the vote was unanimous, 3-0.
The Kenly Police Department presented an incident summary that listed 31 total incidents during the reporting period: eight accidents, three larceny cases, 16 drug and paraphernalia charges, eight trespassing charges, 15 citations, eight felony charges (including a suspect in jail for a car break-in), six misdemeanor arrests and an armed robbery at Dollar Tree under investigation. Staff also noted officer recognitions: Officer Strickland received the Crisis Intervention Team Officer of the Year award for preventing a suicide; Officer Valadez joined an anti-counterfeit task force and Major Dixon joined the Internet Crime Against Children Task Force.
Council received the reports as informational and did not take additional action beyond approving the utility adjustments.
