The results of a six-month alignment study were unveiled today at a 5 p.m. work session with City Council, City senior staff, the Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) board and PWC senior staff. The study, conducted by DavenportLawrence (DL) of Aberdeen, found that the Fayetteville PWC operates effectively in the delivery of electric, water and sewer services to area residents. The study also found that the PWC functions in a manner that is contrary to the City charter and at times that is not in the best interest of the City. Furthermore, the City Council is compelled by the City charter to increase its oversight of PWC finances.
The City of Fayetteville engaged DavenportLawrence in February of 2013 to evaluate opportunities to align services, reduce redundancies and improve efficiencies between the City and Fayetteville PWC to better serve the interests of local citizens and customers.
