GLENDALE : City to Store Utility Bills in Computer
- Share via
In an effort to achieve greater efficiency, the Glendale City Council this week authorized spending $100,000 in unappropriated funds to install a computer system for storing old water and electric utility bills.
Currently, computer records of utility bills sent two to five years ago are printed on paper and stored chronologically in a room one floor below the Public Service Commercial Office in the Gene Perkins Building at the civic center.
Michael P. Hopkins, public service director, estimates department workers spend a total of at least six hours a day searching through the old records, which costs about $36,000 a year.
