Norman council approves sewer-account adjustments, denies removal request and OKs new payment portal

The Norman City Council approved two sewer-account adjustments and authorized a new payment system during its Dec. 29 meeting.

City employee Donna Williams presented two adjustments resulting from leaks and a water-hose incident. The council approved an adjustment for Cynthia Houp (adjustment $417.76 and a late fee of $70.10) and an adjustment for Leslie Rowlett ($1,894.82) on a motion by Roy McKamie seconded by Chandler Thomas; the motion passed.

Williams also reported that Tim Nowak had requested to be removed from the sewer system; the council discussed the request and declined to move the account off the system. The record notes no motion to change Nowak’s status.

Karen Tardiff and Williams then discussed replacing the city’s credit-card reader and implementing an online payment portal. Chandler Thomas moved to enter a contract for the new card reader and online portal, seconded by DeeDee Ethridge; the motion passed.

The transcript records the approval of the adjustments and the contract decision but does not include details about refund method, account balances after adjustments, contract terms, or implementation timeline; those items are recorded as not specified in the meeting text.
