Jamal –
Per our telephone conversation, attached please find an excel file, which documents our recommended solution
for the $54,897 that Koury is owed on the referenced issue.
The solution outlined below absorbs the $54,897 credit in 2 months.
1. In July, the City provides a full credit (estimate of $39,901 utilizing June’s bill) against COG stormwater,
water, sewer, and trash charges on July invoices on all the COG accounts included in the attached
spreadsheet.
2. In August, the City provides a credit for any remaining balance of the $54,897 (estimate of $14,996)
against August charges on the same accounts
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Have a good weekend.

Allan,
We will do increments less than $20,000 into each of the given accounts that were attached. Therefore, doing it that
way we will not have to.

"Gosh, if we had known this trick would work on Accounting, we could have saved ourselves a lot of trouble over the years. Reminds me of the change order limit of $20k years ago; I got I think I got 19 of them by at $19,600+/‐ before someone caught me! It was on the notorious MCI fiasco."
What was that, Allan Williams admitting to something else? From Gordon Craig, Koury Corporation to Lawrence Frost, City of Greensboro, November 2, 2011:

But the City of Greensboro couldn't forgive the water bill at Heritage House and still refuses to make the water bill public-- why?
I would like to make note that in 2011, Jamal Fox was a low level employee working in the City Manager's office and as I understand it, not in any supervisory capacity. Like some of the others whose names are in these e-mail threads it's my belief he was simply doing as his boss instructed him to do.
We've all had those bosses, folks. Maybe that's why Jamal quit working for the City and ran for City Council, I really don't know. And considering the confession we got from Allan Williams perhaps City Council should rethink his telling of his part of Greensboro's Illegal Landfills. After all, it appears he's one of those bosses.
