The state comptroller’s office will be getting a check for more than $615,000 dollars from the city of Bryan.
That’s after the city council approved going into reserves to cover an overpayment made by an unidentified business between 2010 and 2014.
City Manager Kean Register says this happens from time to time, but never for this large of an amount.
Register said the business hired an auditor, which found the overpayment.
If the city wanted to appeal, Register said that would not stop the state from collecting; which it would do by withholding future distributions.
The council’s decision to pay it all at once saves the city a $12,000 service fee.
