Autumn Hughes reports Bradley County and the city of Cleveland appear poised to move forward together on a solution to address a billing error related to the Bradley-Cleveland Senior Activity Center.

The billing error was initially discussed in an August meeting of the Bradley County Commission, when Commissioner Howard Thompson brought the issue to his fellow commissioners in the form of a letter from Cleveland Community Services Agency Executive Director Demetrius Ramsey, who was requesting help to pay a $5,065.58 bill.

Since that initial meeting, the issue has been discussed multiple times by commissioners, most recently last week when they agreed to draft a letter to communicate directly with the city about resolving the issue.

In addition, Commissioner Charlotte Peak formally requested the Cleveland Utilities tap fee be waived and to allow a sewer system connection for the ballpark bathrooms at Bradley County Recreational Park, adjacent to the Senior Center.

During Monday’s voting session, Commission Chairman Johnny Mull presented a response from Cleveland Mayor Kevin Brooks. The letter noted the Cleveland City Council’s appreciation of working with county officials “of resolving this issue.”

The letter also states the city is currently researching their options pursuant to the tap fee request and partnering on resolving the utility services billing issue.
