Proposition 218 (Article XIIID, Section 6 of California Constitution) • Revenues shall not exceed funds required to provide service; nor used for another purpose
• Amount shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel
• Service must be actually used or immediately available • Approval process includes 45-day notice, public hearing, and written majority protest. Does not require a voting process (unlike taxes) (Additional information regarding new law AB 2257 to follow)
5 Reserve Policies
The following proposed policies are based on existing City staff practices. In addition to protecting the City against unforeseen circumstances, these policies also contribute towards the City’s credit rating.
Operating Reserve: Protects the utility from sudden changes in costs or revenue.
Target: 4 months of operating budget ($967 thousand).
Capital Reserve: Provides a cushion for managing the inherent volatility of capital spending and in the event of catastrophic asset failure.
Target: Average annual capital spending (currently about $600 thousand).
Debt Reserve: Ensures that debt payments are always made.
Target: One year of existing debt service (currently $40 thousand) Total current reserves: $1.57 million

Projected Wholesale Water Purchase Costs
9 Based on a 2025 AWA Water Rate Study, wholesale water rates will increase by 48% over the next 5 years.
• Cost drivers include:
• AWA is projecting $98.1 million in capital spending over six years—an average of more than $16.3 million per year.
• This is over three times more than the capital spending forecasted in a 2021 rate study • Largest projects include Tanner Clearwell Replacement, WTP Improvements, Main and Tank replacement, Ione Capacity, Tanner Backwash, and CAWP Alternate Supply • Most of this capital spending will be funded with debt, which will increase AWA’s annual debt service from $2.5 million in FY 2025/26 to $6.1 million by FY 2029/30. • Health insurance to inflate at 12% per year and will grow from 10.8 percent of operating costs to 15.9 percent by FY 2030/31.

Water Shortage Surcharge Policy
19 Water shortage events can have significant financial impact on the City’s water utility:
1) Water sales drop, resulting in less revenue
2) Water purchases also drop, resulting in less costs
3) Water conservation efforts increase, resulting in more costs The net impact of the above results in financial deficits for the Water Utility.
Water Shortage Surcharges are designed to keep the Water Utility financial whole during major water shortage events.

Council Meeting Memorandum
Monday, June 22, 2026 – 6:30 PM Regular Meeting
To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Date: June 19, 2026
From: Trevor Hoaas, Assistant Public Works Superintendent Agenda Item #:7a Public Hearing: Consideration of Water Rate Increases and possible adoption of Resolution No. 2026-25 Setting Water Service Charges Recommendation:
That City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-25.
Discussion:
The City last conducted a water rate study and updated its water rates in 2019. In 2021, the City raised the water rates again to pass-through a 32% increase of water purchase costs from the Amador Water Agency (AWA). Additionally, the City conducted pass-through increases of subsequent AWA rate increases in July of 2024 and July of 2025. These pass-through increases in 2021, 2024, and 2025 did not generate sufficient additional revenue to cover the other cost increases the City’s water utility has incurred, they only covered the increase in water purchase costs from AWA.
In November 2025, the City hired Hildebrand Consulting LLC. to prepare detailed rate study for the City’s water system that establishes cost-based, fair and equitable rates consistent with legally supported industry standards, including Proposition 218. The water rate study looked at existing revenues, expenses, reserve targets, and debt and also reviewed and adjusted the rate structure and allocation of costs. Additionally, the water rate study included an update to the City’s existing Drought Surcharge Policy. The Study concluded that a series of annual rate revenue increases are needed to cover increases of water purchase costs from AWA, rising costs (inflation), and the updated Capital Improvement Plan. Starting on July 1, 2026 these annual rate revenue increases are proposed to be 9%, 9%, 9%, 8% and 5%.
Prior to conducting the City’s Water Rate Study, Hildebrand Consulting was contracted to review the Amador Water Agency’s 2025 Water Rate Study to look for any legal arguments or mathematical errors and provide the findings to the City. Hildebrand found that, although there were debatable allocation methods used by AWA that appear to maximize the City’s water purchase costs, the methods used were not clearly illegal and probably meet the requirements set forth by Prop 218. The City did send a letter to AWA disputing the allocation methods but it was to no avail.
The proposed increases will help to keep the City’s Water System in good financial standing, as well as fund needed improvements to continue providing satisfactory service to customers. The Study has been available for review at City Hall, was included in the April 13th council meeting packet, and has been posted on the City website.
On April. 13th, 2026 City Council directed staff to begin the Prop 218 process. On April 17th ,
2026 staff mailed out 2,265 letters notifying water customers and property owner’s of the rate increase. Per Prop 218 requirements customers and affected property owners are required to be given at least 45 days to submit written protests prior to the public hearing.
On April 13th, 2026 City Council adopted Administrative Remedies Procedures via Resolution 2026-13. The Administrative Remedies Procedures were included in the Prop 218 Notice mailed on April 17th. These procedures gave property owners and customers an opportunity to send a written objection stating why they believe the proposed rates do comply with Proposition 218 or that the rates are illegal. A deadline of June 3
rd, 2026 (45days) was set. The City has reviewed all
Objections received prior to the deadline (three Objections were received) and found that none of the Objections made legal arguments that changed the City’s recommendation. All of the Objections will also be treated as protests.
On March 24th and May 19th, Public Workshops were held to involve the public in the rate formulation process and answer questions and respond to concerns. These meetings were intended to show the City’s transparency throughout the process and inform the public of the Water utility’s needs, vulnerabilities, and challenges. Though the meetings had very low attendance, the conversations with those who attended were beneficial to staff and much appreciated.
Attached is a copy of the 218 Notice. The deadline for receiving protests is the close of the Public Hearing on June 22nd, 2026. To-date we have received 99 protest letters in total. It is noted that the protest letters from Rollingwood Estates mobile home park, 42 in total, have been included in the total even though they only count as one protest. Unless the City receives 1,056 (50% + 1 protests of total parcels in the city) protest letters by the close of the Public Hearing, the City Council can proceed with adopting the proposed rate increases.
Should the Council adopt the resolution to enable the proposed rates, the new rates will become effective July 1st, 2026. Customers will see the new rates in their July bill.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED ADJUSTMENTS TO RATES FOR WATER SERVICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN: that the City of Jackson (“City”) will hold a Public Hearing on June 22, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, located at 33 Broadway, Jackson, CA, to consider the adoption of adjustments to water service rates applicable to the parcel for which you are shown as the record owner or customer of record. The rate adjustment proposed to be imposed on your parcel and the basis upon which it was calculated is described in more detail below. You may submit a protest and/or request for an administrative remedy, as described below.
PROTESTS: As the record owner or customer of record of a parcel identified to be subject to the imposition of the proposed rate adjustments, you may submit a written protest against the proposed rate adjustments. A protest indicates opposition to the proposed rates. Only one written protest will be counted per parcel. Each protest must:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) State that you are opposed to the rate adjustments; (3) Provide the property’s assessor parcel number or street address; and (4) Include the original signature of the record owner or customer of record submitting the protest.
Protests submitted by e-mail, facsimile, or other electronic means will not be accepted. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as formal protests unless accompanied by a written protest. Written protests may be submitted by mail or hand-delivered to the City Clerk, City of Jackson, at 33 Broadway, Jackson, CA 95642, but please be aware that in order to be counted, protests must be received (regardless of mailing date) by the City prior to the close of the public hearing on June 22, 2026.
If, at the close of the public hearing, written protests against the proposed rate adjustments are not presented by a majority of the identified parcels upon which they are proposed to be imposed, the City Council may adopt the proposed adjustments to the water service rates. If City Council approves the updated rates, the first rate adjustment will occur on July 1, 2026, and then annually thereafter each July 1 through July 1, 2030.
ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES PROCESS: California law requires customers to raise legal concerns about proposed water rates directly with the City before taking further legal action. This is called the “exhaustion of administrative remedies” process. In simple terms, it means that if you believe the City’s water rates do not comply with Proposition 218, you must submit a written
objection prior to the deadline stated below. This gives the City an opportunity to review and address legal concerns before the rates are considered for adoption.
Objections must be in writing and received by the City by June 3, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Failure to timely object in writing by this deadline bars any right to challenge the proposed water rates through a legal proceeding in a court of law. A valid objection must:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) Clearly explain the reasons why you believe the proposed rates do not comply with Proposition 218, with enough detail for the City to review and respond (for example, stating that the proposed rates are too high, or that they are illegal without an explanation as to why, will be insufficient to constitute a valid legal objection); (3) Include the property’s assessor parcel number or street address; and (4) Include the name and signature of the individual submitting the objection.
Objections may be submitted by mail or hand delivered to Jackson City Hall, 33 Broadway, Jackson, California 95642, provided they must be received (regardless of mailing date) by the City no later than June 3, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
Please note that under California Government Code section 53759, legal challenges must be filed within 120 days of the date on which the resolution adopting the proposed rates is adopted.
If you have any questions about this Notice, please contact the City at: 209-223-1646 or [email protected]
PROPOSED RATE ADJUSTMENTS
The City of Jackson works to ensure that residents and businesses receive safe and reliable water service, and that the City’s water system is maintained to all required standards in order to protect our community’s health and safety, as well as the environment. The City last conducted a water rate study in 2019, which resulted in the adoption of a water rate schedule with rate adjustments through July 2023.
Since that time, additional rate adjustments have been implemented, primarily in order to pass through the rising costs of wholesale water purchased from Amador Water Agency (AWA). The proposed rate adjustments herein account for continued rising costs of operating and maintaining the City water infrastructure and include the cost of critical capital projects identified by the City’s engineering team, which will need to be deferred if water rates are not sufficiently increased as proposed. The full report (City of Jackson 2026 Water Rate Study Report) can be viewed at www.ci.jackson.ca.us.
Rate Calculation Methodology
The structure for the water rates follows a common industry practice with a two-part structure that is comprised of a fixed component (the Monthly Service Charge) and a consumption-based Usage Rate.
The fixed Monthly Service Charge is composed of a fixed Account Charge (which is assessed equally to all accounts to pay for the cost of administering water accounts) and a fixed Meter Charge (which is assessed based on meter size and pays for fixed costs associated with operating and maintaining water utility infrastructure). The Monthly Service Charge is designed to fund a majority of the water utility’s fixed water costs, including operational costs, capital projects, and a portion of costs allocated to City staff managing the water system.
The Usage Charge is a unform rate and is assessed based on actual water usage as measured by water meter readings. The Usage Charge primarily recovers variable costs for the City water system, such as electricity and the cost to purchase wholesale water from AWA.
Proposed New Water Rates
The water rate study recommends the adoption of a five-year rate plan with annual rate adjustments to meet the financial needs and obligations of the water utility. The study also included the proportional cost of service analysis and design of water rate structures consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218. The table below presents the percentage increases in rate revenue and the proposed water rates for the next five years.
Temporary Water Shortage Rate Surcharges
During extended periods of water shortage, the City’s water utility experiences a reduction in water sales.
Reduced water sales result in a financial deficit for the utility’s operations. The City has an existing policy of applying a surcharge to the then-current Usage Charge during periods of significant water shortage, as defined by the water shortage “stages” established by the AWA’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP). The following updated proposed water shortage rate surcharges are necessary to avoid a financial deficit and help cover the ongoing cost of providing water service during periods of declared water shortages. The schedule below presents the proposed water shortage rate surcharges, which are expressed as percentages to be applied to the City’s water Usage Charge in effect at the time of the water shortage. The surcharge does not affect the Monthly Service Charge.
Rate surcharges are temporary and would be applied only when the City Council declares a water shortage. The surcharges would be rescinded when the City Council declares an end to water shortage conditions. July 1, 2026 July 1, 2027 July 1, 2028 July 1, 2029 July 1, 2030 Overall Water

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-25
A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Jackson Setting Water Service Charges
WHEREAS, the City of Jackson operates a domestic water system under operation and funding rules set forth by the State Water Resources Control Board, performance requirements set forth within the Water Permit and Section 13.50.020 of the Jackson Municipal code and
WHEREAS, the City of Jackson purchases treated water from the Amador Water Agency; WHEREAS, the Amador Water Agency adopted a 5 year update of their own rates and will become effective July 1st, 2026
WHEREAS, the last water rate study updating water rates was conducted and approved in 2019, Pass-through rate increases due increases to water purchase costs were adopted in December 2021, June 2024 and June 2025 and will expire June 30th, 2026; WHEREAS, the City hired Hildebrand Consulting LLC. to conduct a five- year rate study in 2025;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Article XIIID, Section 6 of the California Constitution, the City provided written notice by mail to the customer and property owner of each water service upon which the rate changes would be imposed; and WHEREAS, not less than 45 days after mailing the notice described above, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the proposed rate changes, to consider public input and to determine whether a majority of affected ratepayers protested the proposed rate changes, and determined that no such majority protest was made; and
Now the City Council of the City of Jackson does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby incorporates by reference the recitals of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Charges. The City Council hereby adopts, by not less than a two-thirds vote pursuant to Health and Safety Code section 5471, the amended Schedule of Service Charges for Water Service provided by the City of Jackson set forth in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The initial rate adjustment shall take effect upon adoption of this Resolution.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase added by this Resolution, or any part thereof, is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Resolution or any
part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared unconstitutional, invalid or ineffective.
SECTION 4. CEQA. Adoption of this Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines (14 CCR 15061(b)(3)).
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. It is therefore found and declared that the adoption of the water rate schedule in this Resolution will not have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect and be in full force and effect upon its adoption.
The foregoing resolution was duly passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Jackson at a regular meeting on the 22nd day of June, 2026, by the following vote:

celebration larger, more engaging, and more beneficial for the community and the City of Jackson.
4. Team members
The 2026-2027 Jackson Lions Club Board of Directors and the City of Jackson.
5. Positive impact on tourism and economic development
These funds will be directed to the Third of July fireworks display and related activities to increase the event's overall draw and economic impact. A stronger event is expected to attract more visitors, support local businesses, and generate increased tourism revenue for the City of Jackson.
6. Measurement of success
Success will be measured by attendance figures and positive community feedback regarding the Third of July fireworks display and associated events held at Detert Park. The Third of July event has grown over the years to be one of Jackson City's major attractions bringing in thousands of people from all over.
7. Program sustainability
The Jackson Lions Club Third of July fireworks display and Detert Park family activities have a long and successful history within the community. Additional funding will be used to improve the fireworks show and family events. Funds will directly support the purchase of fireworks display services, event raffle prizes, family game prizes, portable restrooms, waste services, barricades, and rapid transit expenses.
8. Matching funds
With Board of Directors approval, the Jackson Lions Club typically allocates approximately $27,000 for the Third of July event, with the majority dedicated to the fireworks display.
The club's major fund raiser for this event is the sale of safe and sane fireworks at Aimee Field. In addition, the Jackson Rancheria has confirmed a donation of $8,000 for this year's event.
9. Total budget of organization
During the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the Jackson Lions Club donated over $120,000 to local causes, including high school scholarships, Dandelion Days, the Halloween Parade, the 3rd of July Fireworks, A&A Shooters, upper-division college scholarships for local residents, ACF

during downtown community events such as the Jackson Arch Dinner on Main, Car Show, Dandelion Days, and the Jackson Lions Halloween Parade.
Strategically placed bollards provide vehicle intrusion protection by physically stopping outof-control drivers or deliberate ramming attempts, helping to prevent tragedies in crowded pedestrian areas.
Removable bollards are ideal for downtown events because they provide security during event hours but can be quickly removed to allow access for emergency vehicles, vendors, and delivery trucks. Spaced, removable bollards also create a permeable perimeter-clearly defining event boundaries while still allowing quick evacuation in case of fire or other emergencies.
The Jackson Lions would invite the City of Jackson, Amador County Chamber, downtown Jackson Business Association and other players as needed to finalize the exact locations of the bollards to suit all events on Main Street.
4. Team members
Upon award of funds and approval by the Jackson Lions Club Board of Directors, our Treasurer, Alan McNany, will issue and submit a $5,000 check from the Jackson Lions Club to the City of Jackson as part of the purchase and installation of the bollard system.
5. Positive impact on tourism and economic development
These funds will support City of Jackson safety initiatives at City-sponsored events as well as Jackson Lions-sponsored events, including Dandelion Days, the 3rd of July Fireworks, and the Halloween Parade-events that draw both residents and visitors to Jackson, benefiting local businesses and the downtown area.
6. Measurement of success
Success will be measured by positive community feedback regarding safety, comfort, and overall experience at events including Dandelion Days, the Halloween Parade, and the 3rd of July Parade.
7. Program sustainability
