Double-paid phone contracts and $1.3M in potential refunds
Summary
IT discovered the city was paying two phone providers about $30,000 a month each for the same service. Legal has put both companies on notice, and roughly $1.3 million in refunds may come back to the city — though the committee stressed none of that money should be counted in the budget until it's actually in hand.
