Maximum Annual Increases for Water Service Rates Each July Through July 1,
2019
The staff report was presented by Finance Director Turner.
The public hearing was opened.
A speaker was called who explained that he had received a petition from a neighbor
because he had not received one himself. He requested that additional time be given to
distribute petitions to others in the community and concluded by explaining that the
middle -class could not afford to pay the 60% increase.
Donald Perino was called to speak thanking City Clerk Freels for her assistance and
Council Members Bracco and Tucker for voting to oppose the increase. He spoke in
opposition to past decisions and tax increase proposals made by the Mayor, and
explained that the rate increase proposal was too high.
Brooks Walls was called to speak stating that the proposal was a 90% increase and he
believed it was not being proposed in a democratic way as it should be on the ballot. He
concluded by stating that it was not a fair increase to the public.
Ron Kirkish was called to speak explaining that the city infrastructure would suffer if the
increase did not take place. He then spoke on the cost of a bottle of water explaining
that the city increase was much much less.
Antonio Valdez was called to speak explaining that building development should be
discontinued in the city to allow the community to sustain itself, speaking in opposition
to the rate increase. He asked why the public notice had not been produced in
Spanish, and concluded by speaking on a recall of Council Members.
Susan Mister was called to speak asking that the item be continued as Council Member
Tucker was not present, and then questioned the timing of the mailing of the public
notice. She stated that the notice didn't identify that non - property owner utility
customers could submit a protest, and shared her involvement in securing petitions
stating that the community did not want the increase. She concluded by sharing
information presented by the city consultant and spoke on the impacts to seniors and
others on fixed incomes, requesting that the Council re- consider the increases.
Mike Mister was called to speak sharing his involvement in securing petitions in
opposition to the rate increase and suggesting that the city not raise rates and wait to
see what the pending storms would bring to replenish water supply. He concluded by
stating that the city was able to hire new police officers without the sales tax measure.
Suzanne Rodriguez was called to speak stating that the Santa Clara Valley Water
District had a parcel tax approved to fund sustaining water supply in 2012 and now the
city was asking for additional rate hikes. She continued by sharing concerns with the
number of homes being approved by the city during a drought additionally straining the
water supply and concluded by stating that a smaller rate of increase would be more
appropriate.
Tina Morris was called to speak stating that as a renter she had cut back on her water
usage, explaining that she was concerned with the additional homes being built during
the draught. She stated that she had put in drought - tolerant landscaping and stated that
her family members had not all received a public notice regarding the increases. She

concluded by stating that renters should have the same voting rights.
Maria Lopez of Arteaga's food center was called to speak sharing the other rate
increases and impacts.her business was experiencing explaining that the rate increases
would dramatically impact her small business, requesting that a lower % increase
should be considered. She concluded by stating that the Latino community was not well
informed about the increases.
Brian Condie was called to speak sharing his concerns with the Council spending 100's
of thousands of dollars on consultants and fancy, unrealistic projects that were not what
the public wanted to see take place.
Bob Sigala was called to speak asking if the Latino, non - English readers were required
to be notified in Spanish, and he then spoke on the need for a moratorium on building.
He spoke on water reserves in Kem County and then discussed a questionnaire he was
assisting in circulating related to public issues. He concluded by stating that many
members of the public were not aware of the proposed rate increases.
Eric Howard was called to speak explaining that he believed that there wasn't sufficient
noticing sharing the financial impact on local residents and business. He then requested
that the Council consider extending the protest hearing an additional 30 days to allow
for more public outreach.
Lee Wilson was called to speak detailing the reduction in water use at his home due to
conservation and drought tolerant landscape, asking the city to consider reducing the
number of homes being built. He asked how the city was going to sustain itself with long
range infrastructure maintenance and concluded by explaining that the new homes
wouldn't be able to connect to the water system as it existed and he believed the public
needed more time to become informed of the increases.
A speaker was called who stated that the city would need to re- notify citizens as there
was nothing on the bill itself that stated it was a notification.
Georgia was called to speak explaining that she believed that the noticing was
conducted correctly, but the city had the ability to provide an additional month or two
months to notice the public under proposition 218, which she believed was fair to the
citizens of the community.
The public hearing was then closed.
City Clerk Freels announced that by a prima- fascia review of the 1025 protests
submitted that evening, there were a total of 1359 protests for the water increase, which

during the initial purchase of the property, and had worked with the city's development
review group, chemical control division and a previous planner who had told them no
use permit was necessary, so the purchase had been made. He then explained that the
project was transitioned to another planner who then identified that the project was
required to go before the planning commission for a conditional use permit, and the

for such as driveway and canopy removal and additional landscaping. He concluded by

the city.
