The subject of possible DOUBLE BILLING for solid waste
pickup in connection with the Roberta and/or Chuck Burns
account was discussed in detail. With the help of Donna
Littrell M~yor Geer had determined that Mr. Burns presented
to the City sufficient evidence to convince Mr. Geer that
during the last month of 1 1990, and all of 1991 and 1992
Ms. Seits/Mr. Burns had paid for solid waste pickup to
R. J. Davis & Sons, Trucking and that during the same
period the City of Anna was paid $7.90 per month, includi~g
tax, for 25 months for a total of $197.50. The evidence
presented was fourteen (140 paid receipts and three (3)
matching checks).
The evidence convinces the City Council that DOUBLE BILLING
AND DOUBLE PAYING occured during the subject period.
There is no evidence that theCity of Anna participated in the
separate agreement between R. J. Davis & Sons and Ms. Seits/
Mr. Burns.
Upon proper motion, second and by unanimous vote it was
RESOLVED to offer to settle the matter with Ms. Seits/Mr. Burns
in the following manner: By paying (refunding) to them the
amount the City collected during the subject period of
DOUBLE BILLING in the amount of $197.50, less the amounts
being questioned and unpaid in 1995. The meaning of this
resolution is that solid waste billing and collecting for
1993, 1995 and to date in 1995 is due and payable under
City Ordinance No. 104-85 and is not subject to further
negotiation. Note: all of 1993 and 1994 has been paid.
