Cornish council approves bills, flags utility billing discrepancies
Summary
The Cornish Town Council approved the town's outstanding bills by voice vote and discussed irregularities in utility reporting, including delayed bank clears and incomplete month-to-month records. Council members said improved reconciliation is expected by September.
The Cornish Town Council moved and seconded to approve the town's outstanding bills during its regular meeting, and the motion carried by voice vote. The Chair closed discussion and called for the ayes; members responded in support.
Council members spent significant time before the vote discussing the town's utility billing and recordkeeping. The Chair and another councilmember noted that the system's reporting shows accounts only after three months and that recent payments had cleared the bank but were not yet reflected in the report. "Our report only shows the ones that are 3 months past," the Councilmember said, describing why some paid accounts still appeared as outstanding in town records. Members asked staff to reconcile payments and deliver a corrected report by September.
The council discussed several vendor charges, including a $200 capacitor/AC repair and a plumbing adaptor expense; members said receipts and invoices would be clarified with staff. The Chair moved to approve the bills and the council approved the motion by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
