Box 707 <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Bennett, <br /> <br />You had asked that I get back with you after the first of the year regarding a utility audit <br />of the county. Since our last conversation we have contracted ~vith 3 other counties in <br />addition to Catawba County which I had referenced to you at one point. Of these four <br />Catawba is the only one which we have completed. They will save $36,457.67 during their <br />first year of our agreement in addition to getting a credit back from their local phone <br />companies amounting to $13,774.17 for a total first year savings of $50,231.84. We are <br />about 75% complete on the audit at Lincoln County and have identified savings of <br />approximately $14,000 with several other areas yet to be quantified. Gaston County is our <br />largest county audit to date consisting of over 300 lines and 4 local T-l's. We are just now <br />getting started here, but have identified several thousand dollars in savings already with lots <br />of opportunity for future savings with new program implementations. Moore County is <br />about 50% complete, and savings here are akeady in the $4,000 to $6,000 range. <br /> <br />We are currently talking with 6 other county governments which we hope to have as clients <br />very soon. County governments are good potential clients for our services in that they have <br />a variety of services in place, several local phone companies and carriers, and multiple sites, <br />all of which add to the complexity of conducting this type of audit utilizing your own staff. <br />At this point we feel very confident in our methodology to expedite the audit process and <br />look forw. ard .to work,_'n.g wi'th you to help Cabarrus .County save money in this area.. <br /> <br />Enclosed is an updated list of reference accounts and an article on auditing phone bills <br />which your County Commissioners may find interesting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Steve Mann <br />President <br />UTILITIES REDUCTION SPECIALISTS <br /> <br /> <br />
