The City of Fishers is writing-off $75,914.70 in uncollectible accounts for sewer and stormwater operations.  The Board of Public Works and Safety voted in favor of the resolution at the Tuesday morning meeting.  City Controller Lisa Bradford told the board a number of the smaller amount items occur when people move out of a residence and call asking for a final bill, not knowing the billing cycle is in arrears and there is one more bill on the way.  Among the larger amounts owed are due to the changeover from HSE Utilities to the city sewer utility, but if those owing the accounts are no longer owners of the property, the ability of the city to collect is gone.

In other items before the board:

–The study recommending the location of a traffic signal for the Spyglass Falls neighborhood along 116th Street should be ready for the next Board of Works meeting, scheduled at this time for July 29.

–Also at the July 29 meeting, the board may begin approving streets subject to parking permits for certain days and times, in neighborhoods located near the Al Huda Mosque and King Jugg.  This presumes the City Council votes to enact the ordinance at the July 21 meeting.

–The Fishers Health Department has been awarded the Flexible Local Epidemiology for X-factor Emerging Diseases (FLEXED) Learning Community grant through the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) in the amount of $20,000.  The first  two agreements call for $3,331.03 to be spent initially.
