4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. District Rate Study and Prop 218 Notice
With only four members present, a discussion commenced about the Prop
218 Notice that was about to be mailed to customers and how to best
communicate the necessity of the rate changes and the ramifications of
not moving forward with the proposed rate. This discussion was
extremely valuable to staff as they put the finishing touches on the
information paper that would accompany the 218 Notice. The Committee
agreed that broad spectrum communication efforts would be essential to
informing the public as they are very much polarized on many issues
related to City politics and the topic of water and water rates, overlaps into
many of those controversial issues.
4.2. Budget for FY 2015/16
This item was not discussed due to lack of time.
4.3. Conservation Update and Monthly Water Supply Report
It was reported to the Committee that June conservation numbers came in
at 38% and that so far, through July, thanks to rain, conservation has held
steady nearing the 40% mark.
