Item 4: David Crouch Disconnect – Due to Unpaid Water Bill
Mr. Crouch stated his unhappiness about his water being cut-off due to the unpaid water bill. He said, he did not receive his bill and he took pride in his perfect payment record and felt due to his record a courtesy call should have been made. He continued by saying dealing with good members in this manner was unacceptable. Malcolm Tucker stated had he presented himself calmly and not cursing the staff his problem would have been handled immediately, by refunding the $65.00. Due to Malcolm’s hospitalization, Johnnie Bankston received a call from David Crouch. She discussed with Richard Greenhill the situation and the office was instructed to credit $65.00 to the Crouch’s account.

Item 6: Public Comment
