City clerk says well repairs, legal fees drove February budget overages; state owes Harrison $24,940
Summary
City Clerk/Treasurer Miriah Pfeiffer told the council that contracting out for well repairs and fixing a water leak raised outside-service costs; the leak fix cuts electricity costs by nearly $900 and roughly $4,000 in legal expenses tied to a wastewater grant will be reimbursed. The city opened an LGIP account with $25,000 and expects $24,940 from the State Controller’s Office.
City Clerk/Treasurer Miriah Pfeiffer told the Harrison City Council on March 10 that "several issues with one of the wells required contracting out for repairs, which contributed to the overage in outside services, as well as addressing the water leak." She said the leak repair has reduced electricity usage and that the city is "saving nearly $900 in electricity costs."
Miriah also reported that approximately $4,000 in legal services will be covered by a wastewater grant and reimbursed to the city. She said Harrison established a Local Government Investment Pool account for the Local Option Tax Fund with a balance of $25,000 and that the State Controller’s Office still owes the city $24,940 in state revenue sharing for FY 2024–2025; Miriah and a colleague named Tim will contact the State Controller’s Office to collect those funds.
