City Committee Committee And Special City Council Meetings
The Finance Committee discussed soliciting new bids for auditor services due to Senate Bill 1851 requirements impacting compliance deadlines, ultimately recommending Brooks Watson and Company. The committee also addressed a request to write off $578,145.83 in uncollectible ambulance billing accounts stemming from bad debt, charity care, and patient co-pays over a period of two years and nine months, noting improvements in cash per transport metrics. The Parks and Leisure Committee presented proposed changes for the NYC3 construction project, specifically regarding field netting, back stop walls, and dugout systems, seeking to replace original specifications with higher-quality options from Sports Netting Systems, which is projected to result in a cost savings exceeding $175,000 compared to the initial contractor's quote.
