Community Development Inc. begins follow-up work

I received a message from Chuck Schneider of Community Development Inc. this morning.  He wanted to update our residents as quickly as possible following some of last evening's questions.  Complete answers will take a few days.  

"I have spoken with Gina [Lampe] and she has begun working on researching the water bills.  Her contact, Jody, with the city of Hugo is out of the office today.  Gina tried talking to another staff person, however they were not knowledgeable on water billing.  Gina will continue working internally on our end and will hopefully be able to speak with Jody tomorrow." - Chuck Schneider.

As more information becomes available, I will post it to our website.
