8.A. - Page 4 of 15 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. ALTERNATIVES Pursuant to Proposition 218, the City will receive protests from current property owners and rate -paying customers on record. If protests are received from a majority of record owners or rate -paying customers, then the City will not adopt the increased rates. One written protest per parcel is counted in calculating a majority protest. The City Council can reject or revise the recommended rate increases even if a majority protest is not received. The City Council may elect to not approve the proposed increase, but in doing so may create the need for the City to use the General Fund to subsidize payments for solid waste collection in order to comply with the terms of the Franchise Agreement with Recology. The City Council may direct staff to delay the proposed increase and follow an alternative rate implementation schedule. However, a delay would most likely result in a greater increase than those currently proposed in order to cover the revenue losses that will be owed under the Franchise Agreement.
