5. Request from James Fugate to review commercial refuse fees changed without notification. Mr Fugate stated he was paying at a rate establish about 10 years ago and was surprised when a new rate appeared on his bill last month. The city had changed the rate based on an audit and said they had no record of that agreement. The commissioners agreed to rollback to the old rate until formal notification was provided to Mr. Fugate and several others in similar situations. Note: this was an isolated billing adjustment prior to the new refuse rates that will take effect to all customers when the new polycarts are available.
