Chairman Douglas stated there had been a question regarding the reconnection fee
being charged by Okeeairco.
Mr. J~m Morris, local General Manager of Okeeairco, appeared before the Council
to discuss the reconnect charge.
Mr. Morris referred to the last amendment of the franchise, Section 12(c) of Ordinance
No. 418, Rates to Customers which states, $30.00 installation fee may be charged for
all installstions or hook-ups~ after the first year of operation. It is the opinion of
Okeeairco that a reconnection is a hook-up and therefore charges one-half of the
installation fee.
Council members discussed at length with Mr~ Morris the amount of time allowed on
delinquent accounts, time involved in disconnecting and reconnecting service and other
matters pertaining to fees charged Okeeairco customers.

Okeeairco to continue charging the $15.00 reconnect fee for service disconnected due to
delinq~ent accounts.
