Mayor Bosetti made the following advisements: (1) property owners or fee payers
that have not already submitted a protest ballot, may obtain a blank ballot from the
City Clerk; (2) a protest may be made against all or any individual proposed utility
rate increase, and, if someone has an ownership interest or is a fee payer on one or
more parcels, a protest ballot may be submitted for each parcel; (3) only a ballot
submitted to the City Clerk prior to the close of the public hearing will be counted as
a protest. Only one protest ballot shall be counted per eligible parcel; and (4) if a
protest ballot has already been submitted, it may be withdrawn, but only by written
notice to the City Clerk prior to the close of the public hearing.
The hour of 6:00 p.m. having arrived, Mayor Bosetti opened the public hearing to
consider the proposed rate adjustments for the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste
Utilities.
The Affidavit of Publication -Notice of Public Hearing is on file in the Office of the

savings.

Plants built many years ago.

288
David Ledger opined that wastewater rates should be based on usage instead of a flat
fee charged.
Rick Phillips opined that he understands the need for rate increases.
Mayor Bosetti determined that no one else present wished to address this matter,
closed the public hearing, stated that the time for the submittal of protest ballots has
ended, and directed City Clerk Mize to tabulate the ballots.
City Clerk Mize stated that in compliance with the City of Redding procedures for
conducting protest hearings for proposed new or increased property-related fees and
charges set forth in Resolution No. 2013-011, the City Clerk's office has:
(1) published the Notice of Public Hearing in the newspaper once per week for two
weeks; (2) certified by affidavit the proper mailing of notices/protest ballots;
(3) performed a cursory review of the protest ballots, which included checking each
ballot for an original signature, an Assessor's Parcel Number or property address,
and an indication of the fee or fees being protested.
Ms. Mize further stated that a cursory review demonstrates that the number of
protest ballots received is less than one-half of the parcels that would be subject to
the new or increased fee or charge for,each of the utilities. Therefore, she noted that
in the absence of a majority protest, the full tabulation of the ballots, which includes
ensuring only one vote per parcel and that the signer is either the property owner of
record or current Fee Payer, need not be completed.
City Clerk Mize confirmed that the ballots for the rate adjustments to the Water,
Wastewater, and Solid Waste Utilities had been tallied. She noted that the following
are the number of parcels eligible for votes and the number of protest ballots
received and counted during the cursory review for each of the utilities:
Water: Number of Eligible Parcels: 27, 936

Wastewater: Number of Eligible Parcels: 33,764

Percentage of Eligible Parcels: 19.58%
Solid Waste: Number of Eligible Parcels: 33,565
Cursory Count of Ballots: 6,562
Percentage of Eligible Parcels: 19.55%
She advised that there was not a majority protest and the City Council could consider
for adoption the three resolutions authorizing the proposed rate increases.
A discussion amongst the Council ensued.
