Conduct a Public Hearing and Consider Resolution Adopting Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments for Fiscal Years 2025-26 through 2029-30 and Finding that Adoption of the Rates is Exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The City operates water and sewer utility systems through enterprise funds supported entirely by ratepayer revenue and recently completed a comprehensive rate study and public participation process to update the cost-of-service mode and financial plan. This Proposition 218 Public Hearing allows for residents to protest the proposed rates and, if sufficient protest is not received, for Council to set rates for the next five years, effective January 1, 2026. Recommendation: That the City Council, after conducting a Public Hearing in compliance with Proposition 218 to accept comments on the proposed water and sewer rates: 1. Direct the Deputy City Clerk to tabulate the results of the protests received from property owners and announce the findings; and 2. Adopt a Resolution titled, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA VERNE, CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING WATER AND SEWER RATES AND CHARGES FOR A FOUR-YEAR PERIOD (FY 2025-26 THROUGH FY 2029-30)"; and 3. Authorize the City Manager, Finance Director, and Public Works Director to implement the rates, update the Master Schedule of Fees and Charges, make non-substantive corrections to the exhibits, and complete all billing system updates; and 4. Find that adoption of the water and sewer rates is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378(b)(2). | November 03, 2025 LA County La Verne City Council Item #9 |
