Qualifications#
This agenda discussion is not an award notice or proof of job creation. Other items in the packet require their own reading.
The January 20 master-meter item reports $416,838.58, whereas the February 17 finance report gives $416,818.58 for January. The $20 difference remains unresolved; these are not added as separate payments. A draft agreement and equivalent connections do not establish an executed agreement or occupied-home count.
