REASON FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
This supplemental memorandum reports on the written protests received to date in response to mailed public notices regarding the proposed Residential Garbage and Recycling services rates, effective July 1, 2023.
ANALYSIS
Public notices were mailed to all residential property owners advising them that a public hearing would be held on June 6, 2023, prior to City Council consideration of Residential Garbage and Recycling service rates, effective July 1, 2023. In accordance with Proposition 218, customers were given at least 45 days to file written protests of the proposed rate increase.
As of Wednesday, May 31, 2023, the City Clerk’s Office has received 269 protests in response to the Residential Garbage and Recycling public notice, which represents less than one percent of all customers impacted by the change in rates. Protest letters may be submitted through the close of the Public Hearing, at which point the City Clerk will provide a count of all protests received during the protest period.
