R. Chiu) <br />Director Chiu presented the report. <br />Tom Pavletic, Municipal Financial Services, presented a Sewer Fee Study Report. <br />Director Chiu requested direction from the City Council to select a rate structure, set a <br />public hearing and approve a resolution of intention to increase sewer service charges. <br />Council discussion ensued. <br />Allan Epstein, Los Altos Hills, said that the Finance and Investment Committee (FIC) <br />reviewed the report. The FIC concluded that the best course of action that would put <br />through an increase that would maintain the reserves as shown in the presentation. <br />Roddy Sloss, Los Altos Hills, said that Palo Alto has a separate staff for sewer treatment <br />plant and another for utility oversight. They have recommended a rate increase, but they <br />are not in sync. <br />Martha Bowden, Los Altos Hills, said that it sounds like the Town has been deferring <br />maintenance and now has to play catch up. <br />Further Council discussion ensued. <br />n <br />City Council Special Meeting Minutes <br />March 30, 2015 <br />
