Amtel Consulting Company of Houston to Review Telephone Company Charges for Overcharges or Discrepancies
Gene Pipes, City Manager, noted Amtel Consulting Company of Houston wishes to work with the City to review
its telephone ccepany charges for any discrepancies. He said they would work on a fee basis, based on 50 percent'
of any refund that Ma Bell pays the City back, and 50 percent of the savings on the billings for the next 12
months. He noted in last budget, several Councilmembers felt the phone charges were extremely high. He felt this
type of service could be very beneficial to the City, since it does not have this type of local expertise to
audit its own phone system to make sure it is being charged appropriately. He noted if the Council has no objec-
tion to this, he will bring back for their formal action next week an agreement to this effect. He noted this
company has made this same arrangement with a couple of the local banks and the hospital. and have worked with
the Houston Chronicle in this capacity. He noted Deer Park is the only municipality with whom they have con-
tracted. Mr. Pipes felt it was time to have our phone charges analyzed.
Mayor Nash noted that the City should seek out other companies that do similar work so as to offer this
work to them also. He asked Mr. Pipes to check with Deer Park to see if they were happy with the service and if
the method they use is appropriate for what we would want here in our City. Councilmember Monday asked that
their references be checked very carefully. Mr. Pipes noted he would make these contacts prior to next week's
meeting. Councilmember Tavenner noted this company also checks the equipment in use by the city to determine its
appropriateness and application.
