Day Twelve: Wednesday 25th

Today was a very busy day! When I first arrived at the office, I found the sheet of paper that John returned to me regarding the checks that were voided for the veterans. He told me that all the checks were cleared so that I could enter this amount into the cash book and lesson the variance even more. Judy also gave me the list back of people that we did not have addresses for for the OBRA retirement project. She knew 14 of the people so I could eliminate them form the list of people who did not have correct addresses. Next Chamele from the retirement office came in and asked us to stamp her checks for the people who receive retirement checks through her office. I stamped the checks for her and Melissa and I went over the amount that she said she was paying these people and see if it matched with the warrants. It did match so we stamped the checks and she was good to go. Next I worked on a proposal to the City Council for parking tickets. The rate of the parking ticket was being proposed to be raise my ten dollars and the mark fee by ten dollars. This made it so if a parking ticket was late now it would be sixty five dollars instead of forty five dollars. This extra money earned on parking tickets would go to maintaining the sidewalks of the city. Since this proposal is being proposed by Melissa (who is also the parking clerk) and the Chief of Police, we went over to the police station and dropped the proposal off in dispatch to be signed by the Chief tomorrow. This proposal will be presented to the City Council where they will vote on it to pass or not. Next I wrote a collection letter for an insufficient fund. Someone had written a bad check to the city so they are now charged the amount of the check plus twenty five dollars. I wrote this letter to the individual and a copy of the check that was not good for him to pay to the order of the treasurers office. Lastly I talked to Joanne about my poster board and presentation and began to plan out how it was all going to fit together. I had a fun but long day today.
