APPROVAL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Minutes from the June 15, 2022 Finance Committee Meeting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Stephens to approve the minutes from the June 15, 2022 Finance Committee Meeting.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Leak Adjustment \u2013 T. Malachi<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs provided that JWSC Customer Theresa Malachi has requested a leak adjustment due to a large leak at 600 Everett Street. Baker Plumbing Company, Inc. has repaired the leak and usage has returned to normal levels.\u00a0 Section 2-16-63(h) of the Glynn County Ordinances requires any leak adjustment totaling $2,000 or more to be presented to the Commission for final approval.\u00a0 Staff has reviewed this request for a leak adjustment and determined that it should be granted to the customer.\u00a0 The calculated amount of the leak adjustment is $2,210.50 for the account holder. The leak adjustment forms and supporting documentation were provided for the Committee to review.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Stephens made a motion seconded by Commissioner Cook to move that the Finance Committee recommend the full Commission approve the leak adjustment in the amount of $2,210.50 to the account of Theresa Malachi as presented.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n\n- Leak Adjustment Policy<\/strong> \u2013 A. Burroughs<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Mr. Burroughs recalled for the Committee that in the current City of Brunswick and Glynn County Ordinances, any leak adjustment exceeding $2,000 requires approval by the Commission prior to granting the adjustment to the customer. Having presented several of these size leak adjustments over the past few years, members of the Commission have requested that staff look at revising the ordinances to increase the threshold for Commission approval on leak adjustments.\u00a0 This would decrease the time period required to grant a leak adjustment in most of these larger situations and improve staff\u2019s flexibility to provide consistent customer service to our customer base. Over the past 5 years, there have been 2 requested leak adjustments that exceeded $5,000, one for a hotel and one for a condo complex. Essentially, unless there is a leak on the main line of a master metered complex or a large commercial or industrial customer, it is unlikely that any leak adjustment would exceed a $5,000 threshold. Staff recommends updating the leak adjustment policy to increase the threshold requiring Commission approval to $5,000.\u00a0 Any approval of this recommendation by the Finance Committee and\/or the full Commission will require approval by the City of Brunswick Commission and the Glynn County Commission prior to the change taking effect.\u00a0 Commissioner Stephens asked who would be approving these leak adjustments and suggested that the adjustments should require two signatures.<\/p>\n
Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Stephens to move that the Finance Committee recommend updating the City of Brunswick and Glynn County Water and Sewer Ordinances as show in the attached document.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nDISCUSSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Financial Statement Month End June 30, 2022 <\/strong>\u2013 L. Roberts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

She reviewed the Balance Sheet with the Committee noting that this is a strong balance sheet.\u00a0 She briefly explained the Prepaid Expense, Fixed Assets, and Unearned Revenue accounts.\u00a0 She also highlighted details on the Summary of Revenues and Summary of Expenses.\u00a0 Mrs. Roberts briefly reviewed line items on the Cash Balances and the Project Report, as well as providing an update on Investments. She concluded the report with an update on the Group Insurance.<\/p>\n
Committee Chairman Duncan asked if there were any other items to discuss.<\/p>\n
