6.4.A. - Page 4 <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> According to the requirements of Proposition 218, the City must receive protests from <br /> more than fifty (50) percent of current property owners and rate-paying customers on <br /> record to negate the proposed rate increases. The City Council could reject or revise <br /> the recommended rate increase regardless of the number of protest letter received. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> If Council approves the recommended changes, a Redwood City residential customer's <br /> bi-monthly water utility bill will increase by $11.28 from $125.38 to $136.66 effective <br /> August 1, 2013. This estimate is based on a residential customer with 12 Hundred <br /> Cubic Foot (HCF) of water usage per month. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This ordinance is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act <br /> (CEQA) review pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8). The City <br /> Council finds that the water service charges are for the purpose of ineeting operating <br /> expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, purchasing or leasing <br /> supplies, equipment, or materials, meeting financial reserve needs and requirements, <br /> and obtaining funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within existing <br /> service areas. <br /> ���� � <br /> TERENCE KYAW <br /> ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR <br /> G�� <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br /> �� <br /> ROBERT B.
