9. City Administrator’s report, report of suggestions/concerns
received in City of Seymour Suggestion Box, and Well-level Report.

City Administrator Shephard stated that there was only one concern in the Suggestion Box
and it was for the disposing of hazard materials (batteries, tires, and things of that nature).
The City has no way of disposing those materials, and our only method is by going through an outside company. The process can get costly.

Also, Atmos Energy gave the City of option of increasing the franchise fees from
4% to 5%. The City chose to opt out on this offer, due to the fact that the increase would eventually be passed to the customers. I will be out of the office attending a meeting
June 2nd and 3rd. That is all I have for tonight.
