THe electrical loss due to bad meters is around 17 percent. according to liberty mayor carl pickett, it is important for the city to treat utilities like a business in order to ensure the city’s cost for providing these services is being covered for both services. "audio" if this $2.5 million project to replace meters across the city of liberty gets council approval, it will be funded through certificates of obligation. mr. broz said liberty has some older debt set to expire and interest rates are at a historic low. therefore, he said the project would not change the city’s tax rate. on the other hand, liberty’s city manager did say customers will likely see a change in their utility bills if their current meters have been wrong in reporting USAGE. again, liberty’s mayor said all of this is being done to more fairly serve all liberty residents while ensuring the city covers the cost of providing these services. with that in mind, mayor pickett also invites residents to provide feedback on the city’s website. "audio" city leaders invite comments on plans to replace all electrical and water meters across liberty or feedback on any other area of concern, or praise, local residents have for the city. that website can be accessed from ours – just go to www.kshn.com and click on the government tab to find the city of liberty’s logo. disd taks test news story 07.08.10 current and former students of dayton high school or dayton night school academy who still need to pass one or more taks tests to receive a diploma may retake those tests next week, july 13-16, at dayton high school. dayton isd is also offering tutorials to help prepare for theses tests. the english/language arts tutorial is today from 9 a.m. to noon. then, they will offer help for the science test on monday from 10 a.m. to noon. training for the taks math test is monday from 1 to 3 p.m. these tutorials are open to both current and out-of-school dayton students. then, dayton isd will administer the actual taks tests - according to the texas education agency calendar - beginning with english/language arts next tuesday, july 13, followed by the math taks testing on wednesday, july 14. the science portion is THURSDAY, july 15, with dayton isd administering the taks social studies test on friday, july 16. again, this is for current and former students of dayton high school or dayton night school academy who still need to pass their taks test to graduate. dayton high school will open its doors for these taks tests each morning at 7:45 a.m. with testing beginning at 8. students should bring a photo id and two #2 pencils. for information, call dayton high school at 258-2510. dayton students who have been out of school for more than one year must call ahead this week. once more, that number is 258-2510.
