SUMMARY: At its February 23, 2012 meeting, the Board directed staff to implement a Proposition 218 process for the development of water fees and charges, including the hiring of a rate consultant and the development of the necessary ordinances, resolutions, and notices for implementation thereof. This item seeks approval of the Proposition 218 hearing notice (Exhibit 12-I).
RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager recommends Board approve the Proposition 218 Hearing Notice. The Administrative Committee met on April 9, 2012 and voted 3-0 in favor of recommending approval by the Board; Water Supply Planning Committee met on April 9, 2012 and voted 3-0 in favor of recommending approval by the Board.
BACKGROUND: The notice will be distributed to all record owners of property within the District. As presented in the packet (Exhibit 12-I) it is on legal sized paper, but it is expected to be tri-folded for mailing as a single piece. The hearing will be scheduled for June 12, 2012.
It is the District’s duty to ensure that the hearing notice, the rate ordinance, and the rate study are all identical or consistent as to the language about rates and fees to be imposed.
