Gary Green spoke in opposition of rate increases. He mentioned that several years ago they raised the rates and then a few months later, Council gave themselves a raise.

of metal and trash on the streets. Lots of people do not know when the street sweepers pass on the streets. She would like that information to be on the City's newsletter.
Khalid Chaudry stated he has solutions. Blue trashcans can be picked up every other week instead of weekly. That saves money and that money should be transferred to customers. He stated that Council should pass a law that the increases should not be more than the CPI (Consumer Price Index). He also stated that he questions NBS as he received 20 letters for the proposed rates but only has three properties.
Cecelia Bach spoke in opposition of the rate increases. She stated that she has noticed water leaks on the road after the city-wide clean-up when large dumpsters are pulled along the streets. This also happens when work crews with heavy equipment do road work. She suggested that smaller dumpsters may help alleviate the problem.
Rich Leak (?) spoke in opposition of the rate increases. He thanked Council for the clean-up of the Fresno River. He stated Council can space out the increases so that it does not his customers all at once.
Chris Mariscotti owner and operator of the Vineyard Restaurant stated he is not opposition of the rate increases. He is in opposition of the food industry taking a greater hit that other commercial and non-commercial businesses in the sewer rate increases. He would like the increases to be more equitable.
Candy Talley doesn't like rate increases but she doesn't think it is correct to blame this Council for these issues. These issues were because their predecessors did not do what needed to be done.
Angelica Aguilar had concerns about the way the surveys were done. She had concerns about some customers getting many surveys like a previous person commented. She stated that there can be a fine assessed when vehicles are not moved during that area's street sweeping.
That would also give the City funds.
Wayne Padilla submitted questions by email regarding solid waste, street sweeping and solid waste.
Mr. Garza wanted to know if NBS was contracted out or the highest bid. He also wanted to know if those documents were public record. Consultant for Finance Department Vicki Crow said it was a competitive bid. City Attorney Hilda Cantu Montoy stated that once bids are awarded everything is public record that can be requested.
Mr. Padilla asked if his questions were going to be answered. City Attorney Hilda Cantu Montoy stated questions have been read and once public hearing is closed, more responses will be provided.
No further Public Comment was presented. Public Comment was closed .
Mayor Garcia stated that anyone with written protest or ballots should hand them to the City Clerk at this time as they will not be accepted once the Public Hearing is closed. 205 w. 4th Street
