PUBLIC HEARING <br />A. Water Utility Service Rates and Charges <br />PWS Director Ingram explained the recommendations stating that although not <br />mentioned in the staff report there is an obligation to use the Proposition 218 <br />notification process as part of the annual rate setting. Given this change, the <br />recommendation is to open the public hearing and leave it open until June 5, <br />allowing for mailing and the 45 -day period, so that anyone needing to learn more <br />or protest may take advantage of that process. He further explained the Council <br />Utilities committee's recommendation as outlined in the staff report. <br />Mayor Pierce opened the public hearing. <br />Public Comment: <br />John Lowe, Treasurer of a homeowners' association on Chelsea Way, stated that <br />there are two rate structures, commercial and residential. He further stated that in <br />his case there are 100 residences supplied by three meters and very quickly <br />escalates to the high use rate of $4.32. He proposed a third rate that recognizes <br />the number of residences supplied in order to keep the rates more reasonable. <br />The average per household of 2.25 units is within the lifeline, but the entire bill is <br />at top rate with a total of up to 225 units in one billing period. <br />M/S Howard /Bain to continue the public hearing.
