Customer questions $50.00 misc. tap fee charge and requests review by USB Admin. Subcommittee.
Owner,James R. Brown, wrote and stated he would like the bill for this property reviewed by USB Subcommittee. He does not think he should be responsible for large, delinquent account of his former tenants.
Owner wrote re. property at 1104 E. Azalea Lane in Bloomington. Tenant moved leaving large, unpaid bill. Owner does not feel she should be held responsible for bill and request review by USB Subcommittee.
Customer does not feel her water bill could be $68.76 for 1 month. She would like her account reviewed by USB Subcommittee.
Customer was very upset that his water usage has increased so dramatically. I explained the usage period, insp. results, etc. He was insistent that the changing of the meter had damaged his toilet (by allowing air to get into the lines). He stated that he planned to contact his atty. I referred him to Risk Mgmt. He did not wish to listen to any explanation regarding his usage. I printed out his account history and meter readings for him. I also contacted Ed S. regarding this matter.
Letter rec'd. and phone call rec'd. stating that Mr. Vencel would like to appear water and wastewater bills for August and September 2004. They do not feel there were any leaks and want to appeal.
Called OOTM and asked to remain anonymous but nature of her comments (and number on caller id) indicated it was Ms. Keene. Went into a long diatribe about her current landlord but didn't have any specifics on what the City should do to alleviate the problem. Said she has contacted the ICLU and will write a letter to the H-T.
Ms. Jackson called to report a suspicious man in a white Buick Century was parked at the apartments and was watching kids as they got on the bus. She also said the man appeared to be taking notes. This information was forwarded to Chief Diekhoff.
Mr. Garus called to let us know Jerry Bales in the Utilities Dept. is rude and he doesn't want to put up with him anymore. He said it this happens again, he will take legal action against him.
Mr. Michael called several times this morning and, at times, was angry and belligerent. He said he is being "discriminated against" because the prosecutor's office will not give him another extention on a speeding ticket. Diane suggested he talk to Barbara McKinney.
