He has received letters from the Finance Officer regarding <br />water charges back in 2002 and 2003. When they received the invoices back then they compared <br />it with an almost identical building he owns across the river. At that time the sewer and water <br />bills at the Ramsey building were a little higher, but comparable. Mr. Sharp stated it was <br />indicated by the Finance Officer that a zero was dropped on the meter. This means that <br />theoretically it should have been ten times what they were billed, which would be a phenomenal <br />amount. They made copies and sent a letter explaining the situation and that it was impossible <br />for the bill to be ten times as high as it was. The issue was dropped at that time and they never <br />heard another thing about it, so they assumed the mistake was found and it was taken care of. <br />Mr. Sharp stated he just received a letter from the Finance Officer informing him that the City is <br /> <br />City Council / February 12, 2008 <br />Page 2 of 13 <br />
