Colin Knight, Los Altos Hills, asked about the number of protests needed to <br />prevent the sewer increase and how residents would be billed. <br />City Attorney Steve Mattas informed the Council that the increase will be <br />reflected as an assessment placed on one's property tax bill. <br />Tad Hofmeister, Unincorporated Santa Clara County, stated that he is serviced <br />by the Town's sewer system and objected to the sewer increases. <br />Mayor Corrigan closed the Public Hearing. <br />The City Clerk read the following into the record: "As of the conclusion of the <br />public hearing, the Town of Los Altos Hills received seven (7) written protests to <br />the proposed increase. The number of written protests does not amount to a <br />majority of the identified parcel owners subject to the fee. Consequently, there are <br />an insufficient number of written protests to constitute a majority protest under <br />Proposition 218 and the City Council may proceed with considering the <br />Resolution." <br />Further Council discussion ensued. <br />MOTION MADE AND SECONDED: Councilmember Larsen moved to approve <br />Resolution 28-15 increasing sewer service charges in both Palo Alto and Los Altos <br />sewer basins. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Waldeck. <br />Motion Carried 5 to 0: <br />AYES: Councilmember Larsen, Councilmember Waldeck, Mayor Corrigan, <br />Mayor Pro Tem Harpootlian, Councilmember Radford <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br />The Council now returned to consider Item 5.B. <br />B.
