PUBLIC HEARING -RESOLUTION REVISING THE METERED WATER
RATE AND SEWER SERVICE CHARGE OF THE CITY
Legal notice published in the O.C. Reporter on May 23, 2008
The Mayor announced that this is the time and place fixed for the public
hearing required by Article XIII-D of the California Constitution (Proposition
218). The Mayor further announced that if property owners or utility
customers wish to formally protest, they must do so by filling out a form
available from the Clerk of the Council, and it must be completed before
the close of the hearing. Only written protests by property owners and
those with water or sewer utility accounts with the City will be counted.
Staff Report by Jim Ross, Director, Public Works Agency
No written communication.
Michael Wifegman, Eusebio Rios, Bill Ritchey, George Garcia, and Roy
Alvarado spoke in opposition to revising the metered water rate and sewer
service charge; Stanley Fiala spoke in support of this charge.
Public Hearing was closed by the Mayor. The Clerk reported that a total
of 14 written protests were received by mail or at the meeting. Since this
total is less than a majority of the utility customers in the City, the protest
fails.
Council discussion ensued.
