<br />Based upon the above analysis the most cost effective action would be Option 2.
<br />Under Option 2, the County would contract for meter reading services only and retain the
<br />utility service worker position to perform the customer turn-on/turn-off and associated
<br />functions. This action will require the reassignment of (5) meter readers to other County
<br />positions if possible.
