Maybe a public records request should be done to see what this company was reporting to the city. And see if all the problems we now know of were present then but just ignored.

So they hire a lawyer to look into this matter and possibly settle? Why not use that money that your allegedly going to pay the lawyer and pay the company.
This company consults on gas leaks, they don’t fix them. For all we know, they have been telling Century about the problem, and Century did nothing. That seems more plausible to me with the mismanagement going on. We should have a special election that disallows all current and former members of the council from running. People that care need to be in office, not lazy and worthless ones.
A word of advice for the lawyer Mr. Dannheisser, get paid up front for your services. You may be the next person to sue Century.

I think mainly this is just indicative of how Century has been operating. They didn’t quit paying because they were unhappy with the consulting company, they just got behind and quit paying because they didn’t have the money. It shows lack of communication and sloppy business practices.

If they weren’t happy with the services, then they should have addressed the problem with the company. At that point, the company either improves, or the contract is broken and they quit billing.

For example, if you have a contract with a pest control company to spray for bugs, and you decide they aren’t doing a good job, you call them and explain the problem. At that point, either you continue with them, or break the contract based on them not doing the job satisfactorily. If you allow them to keep coming and spraying your house, you are going to owe them.

Wait a minute, they were supposed to monitor the gas line system to detect leaks, faulty meters, etc? Is that right? With the number of customers not being billed due to faulty meters, why would the Town pay a consulting fee to a company that failed to do it’s job?
Am I missing something here?

Here we go again. Pay your bills. If you didn’t want them doing the service you should have cancelled their services in December 2018.Clowns in action what a circus!!!!!

…so Century has even more bills it cannot pay, and yet they keep on incurring more debt! When will these people learn to stay within their means, or incorporate into Pensacola…if P’cola will have them!

Can’t say I blame the town for not paying, Since 2008 they are using this company to straighten out their messed up gas department. Laughable- did they advise them how to loose 50 percent of their natural gas? ,

Apparently CSI failed in advising Century how to fix its gas system and ensure it could account for all gas sold. If that was part of their contract, Century should counter sue for the money it lost during the years for the unaccounted gas sales and the money owed this company..

Now that they dont have to pay the 2.7 million
dollar loan back, they should have plenty to pay this bill off.
$19,287.19 over 750 years comes out to about $25.71
per year or about $2.14 per month.
Just pay the bill.
