I protest this proposed water hike. I have cut our water usage by not watering the back yard. Cutting our usage is not a green light for a hike.

The city has gone way overboard on their high density building in this city. It no longer looks like a beach city.Nor does it feel like one. Traffic is so bad you can not get anywhere without running into accidents, road repair or new high rises going up on Beach Blvd. and other streets such as Edinger, Goldenwest, etc. If the city needs to raise these rates,charge the developers who are making the money from our city. Single family homes, especially the ones living on fixed income, should not be forced to pay for the BAD decisions by the Council by approving such high density building! James W.

I would suggest that the city,tind other ways to have enough money for the sewer and water service. One example would be to stop the street sweeping twice a month. Once a month is certainly good enough. 1 look at my street and can't tell the difference from before it was swept and after it was swept. It is a total waste of money to sweep twice a month Maybe you could raise the rate on the high-consumption commercial/industrial customers rather than families. If they use more water,why should they pay less for water than anyone else?

I DO NOT AGREE with the proposed rate increase. Tying water and sewer rates to the Consumer Price Index (CPIU) is not an accurate way of assessing the cost and value of this commodity. It is a sneaky way of repeatedly raising the rate charged with no public oversight. The CPIU is influenced by many factors. Few of which have anything at all to do with the cost of pumping, processing and delivering water to the citizens of Huntington Beach. For instance, the CPIU can be affected solely by a change in the price of crude oil. So oil prices could go up while all other factors related to the cost of our water remain the same or even go down and you would still raise our water rates. Also, as water conservation measures take effect and the overall consumption of water goes down, the amount of money taken in by the City of Huntington Beach from the sale of water to it's citizens goes down. This rate hike and the inevitable future annual rate hikes are an attempt by you and the city to keep the same level of income from this city service. This is a typical government response to decreasing revenues. Whenever revenue decreases from any source you simply increase the rate of that source to make sure city coffers stay full. Instead of tightening your belts like the rest of us are forced to do in the face of less income, government simply ups it's take so they don't have to feel the effects of economic change. Any non governmental business that operated in this fashion HB _291_ Item 14. - 51 would quickly be out of business. It's only government that can get away with this. I hope you will all have the courage to do the right thing and vote against this water and sewer rate increase. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, j Bradley D.

We are both retired and on fixed incomes and need to be conscious of all expenses. With our current efforts to reduce water consumption it'is not reasonable to expect homeowners to pay more for less! The city needs to find ways to cut expenses rather than raise rates on homeowners. There has also been a large increase in new construction of apartments in our city, on Beach Blvd, and in the Bella Terra area that will be consuming increased amounts of water and increased use of the sewer systems. Maybe these projects should NOT have been approved! We are in a 4-5 year drought,I'm sure the approval process for these extra-large projects fell well within this drought period. No water=No New Construction! Just because City Council Resolution 99-55 would allow you to increase rates, does not mean you Have to Increase rates.

Why does the city keep building homes,condos,and apartments when they know this means more water for more people. I do not want to pay more for using less. A friend of mine has called the city several times advising them of a neighbor who waters four times a week. This is ongoing and nothing has been done. It seems to me that Huntington Beach is run quite poorly. Cut back but pay more. Doesn't make sense. ' I would be at the council meeting but have another commitment that day.

We certainly understand that we are in.a serious drought and have done all wv can do to conserve water. We are happy to do so to maintain the quality of life we have come to expect in Huntington Beach. In the meantime we see the cite experiencing unprecedented growth with enormous multi-family residential units,hotels,restaurants and shopping areas. We do not believe that anyone could be convinced that these new developments will not put increased demands on an ready short supply of water. It seems very short sighted that the city continues to allows this growth wsith no regard to the continuing drought conditions that have been increasing over the past several years- Before increasing water rates for the existing customers,perhaps the city could take a look at how to maintain the water supply we already have. A few ideas could include stop the new building— especially for high usage business such as hotels and restaurarits,require that any new landscape installations be drought resit plants,and shut down the showers at the cky beach as they have done at the State beaches. There is much work the city could do to reduce water usage—the only question is are our leaders capable of doing it with some other means than raising water ratesa Sincerel , Bill and Katie Slavm 8601 Marvale Dr. Huntington Beach,CA- 92646 Item 14. - 94 HB -3334- RECEIVED September 10, 2015 2015 SEP 14 PM 4: 09 Huntington Beach City Clerk CITY C L E R K c/o Written Protest CITY 0 F N � 2000 Main Street UNTINGTON BEACH Huntington Beach, CA 92648 RE: Protest Objection of Proposed Water Rates and Proposed Sewer Rates ' I am filing a written protest to the proposed fee increases for both the water rates and sewer rates.

Demand has been reduced, the amount of water to purchase has been reduced; and the costs for additional water facilities have been eliminated. You can reduce infrastructure costs owing to the demand for less water. You cannot justify the increase in costs caused by the build out requirements by removing conservation from the equation. We are using reclaimed water, along with water from the aquifer • Since water revenues have decreased by 25%; should not Expenses be reduced by 25% • Less revenue should also enable the City to reduce head count • Less revenues should foster a 25% cut in the Department's budget. You have asked the rate paying taxpayers to conserve, but how are we benefiting if you want to raise our water rates without any justification other than conservation has caused a 25% drop in the usage of water revenues. Why not provide us with a Expense reduction plan first, before asking for an increase for more money. Thank you ilton B. Dardis.

In researching the water bills paid since we moved into our home in 1987, our rates have increased by 47%. We are already rationing our water due to the recent drought conditions in California, In addition, you changed our monitor from an analogue to a digital system which also caused a spike in our rates. I feel it is unfair to shoulder us with another increase for our water and sewage fees. We already pay very high utility bills and we don't need another increase to be burdened with. Many of us who reside on Lake Street are senior citizens on fixed incomes and cannot afford these frequent increases.

These are things you have done with apparent no concern for the residents of the city. I have installed solar paneling to help reduce the use of electricity supplied by Edison, yet Edison is considering raising rate on those who are trying to HELP. I am awaiting approval from the MWDOC for the installation of artificial turf in an effort to HELP with the water shortage crisis. The State legislature is proposing to increase car registration rates to pay for road maintenance, for which our gasoline taxes were levied. The State also is considering a tax on the miles driven by its citizens for specious reasons. Is there any chance that governing entities might start empathizing with the plight of the taxpayer? Maybe you believe that all taxpayers are a glut on the services already provided. If so, prove it. When you are acquiescing to the union demands for more, are you thinking about those of us on fixed incomes who are seeing the value of our dollar shrinking day by day? By the way, were any of you city fathers and mothers in the vicinity of the new Senior Center when literally thousands of gallons of water were being used at that site? Is it going to be landscaped with plants requiring water? I am beginning to believe that campaign promises made by politicians only last long enough to be voted into office. If you haven't already guessed, this is a letter of protest to the proposed increase in water and sewer service rates. And, I hope it will be read with open minds.

Have we all not been working to reduce the amount of our water consumption? What many of us see in our own city are the enormous new multi-family buildings completed, or in various stages of being completed, and question why they were allowed to be built when we already have so many problems within our city, one being the shortage of water. The fact remains that we are in a drought situation which is certainly not new, so where is all the water going to come from to service hundreds of new residents? Perhaps some thought should have been given to this increased draw on our water allotments before allowing new construction. I certainly do not want it coming from my share nor do I expect to pay more for what I am currently using. It is devastating to live in a city that is run so poorly.

I know most homeowners put your Notice straight into the circular file and those that read it didn't see anything but some jumbled numbers....most likely taking a deep sigh of resignation before they too made their circular file deposit.The only thing the Notice availed to the homeowner was a math check but no understanding.Shame on you.

BEACH I am totally opposed to any rate increases to any water bill and opposed to the proposed sewer rates going up. Why is it we home owners are always penalized to cover shortages in our city government budget. We have kept our home and yards beautiful for 45 years and now we are only allowed to water 2 days a week as we sit back and watch our front yard lawns, parkways, backyards, plants and flowers die! Those of us who have pools are penalized also because of the water shortage. Why in the heck is our city allowing all the tremendous amount of new buildings to be build when there is a water shortage???? There will be even more of a water shortage with all the new apartments continuing to being built which is over kill and unwanted in a city I have lived for 49 years! We know the city will collect lots of money from the tax income from the new apartments and houses and where will this money go? I cannot see how these places will be filled up for years. Who can afford them in this economy and so many people and residents are without jobs and living on government assistance while us taxpayers have to carry the load!

I truly think this is a bad idea. While we understand that the governor declared California in a state of drought and that water shortages are unavoidable I don't understand how a motion to have the water rate adjustments increased will help solve this issue. We are already doing our part by cutting down on the water that gets used in our home. It is safe to say that our efforts have not been in vain, a little less than a month ago, a report was released on the government web page in which it still states that Californian's surpassed the conservation rate set in June; in July we reduced water use by 31.3 percent, which exceeded the governor's 25 percent mandate for a second consecutive month. Since the new emergency conservation regulation took effect Californian's have worked hard to conserve water. It is unjust to know that while we are all working hard to reduce the usage of water and are not only striving, we now face the possibility of having meter rates increased. Please reconsider your decision. We are all working hard to reduce water usage and so far, it is safe to say that we are achieving our goal. Increasing water rates will not solve the drought issue, if anything, it will add one more headache to the local population.

I read the supplied information and found it difficult to agree on certain issues and therefore decided against the increases. Sewer rates, in particular, were troubling because no explanation was included as to how the figures (current and/or proposed) were determined. I also wonder what the consumer price index has to do with the sewer system. It seems to be arbitrary and speculative at best. Therefore I am protesting both the water and the sewer proposed rate increase. Sincerely, Mr. &Mrs. J.

I have emailed the water dept. regarding water waste. Most currently about 6 wks ago. You don't hid your mistakes well. Early in the morning going south on PCH both north and south of Beach Blvd .there is clear evidence of water over flow on to the road. I have cut back because it is the right thing to do. You will raise the rates no matter what we think, nor will you be fined for misuse. Why, because you are a city, county, state, division and this means you won't be effected either way, no cut backs or fines for you. You, won't lose your job for taking 2/3 hour lunches, etc. which by the way only leaves you a 5 hour work day. I guess it is hard to get to all the repairs working a 25 hour week. Yes, you will raise the rates and you will continue to have water over flow thru out the city, things won't change. Good luck in at least acting like you are concerned about this matter.

However, that increased rate never goes away even when that commodity returns to normal supply. In the case of our water shortage: Users are letting go of thousands of dollars invested in lawns, plants, trees& shrubs as we watch these beautifications die out through no fault of our own, but rather a drought, and the bureaucrats dictating the amount of water we shall be allowed to use as well as the amounts of the monetary penalties we will be charged if more water is used than allowed. It should be noted that users are also experiencing an additional cash outlay for replacing the lost beautifications of the properties. In the case of sewer rates: Users are cutting water usage inside the homes and the meters aren't clicking off those maximum gallons anymore. Again, less revenue. It is time the bureaucrats tightened their belts along with water users. There is ALWAYS someplace to cut the budget. Perhaps you can begin with the smaller items and then take a look at the pension system. Respectfully submitted, Bonnie W.

Increase in water usage should go by how much a home uses, not by everyone. Those that abuse the water by hosing down their sidewalks and driveways are the ones that should be penalized.

I understand that there will be a Public Hearing on October 19, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. at the City of Huntington Beach City Council Chambers. I also understand that if written protests against the proposed water/sewer rate Increase are presented by a majority of owners or ratepayers subject to the increase, the Council shall not impose the increase. Consider this letter my formal written protest against the proposed water rate increase. I understand that water is in high demand in California right now, but the people that live in the city are doing the best we can to conserve water and, can receive a fine or citation for wasting water or dumping contaminants into the sewer system.

Per your recent notice to the residents of Huntington Beach, I am writing to you today to inform you I am AGAINST the proposed water and sewer rate increases you seek to approve. For many months now, our household has strictly adhered to the recommendations of water restrictions, and we have decreased our usage by up to 50% during many of those months Sadly, we have seen neighbors and friends who have not complied, and while their lawns remained green and their flowers bloomed, our landscaping suffered. They experienced no consequences for their unrestricted use of water At this time I think it is unfair and unacceptable to raise water rates across the board for all households I think if an increase is approved, only the households who did not cut back on their water usage by a certain percentage should be the residents who should have to pay an increase in water rates Perhaps that would cause them to take seriously the seventy of their non-compliance, and help them change their patterns of water usage. I also disagree with your proposed sewer service user charge adjustments. We currently pay a significant fee which 1 do not feel should be increased at this time For your records, our parcel owner/service address information is' Larry &Terne Sebastian 19842 Edgewood Lane Huntington Beach, CA 92646 Thank you for your consideration of our objection to the proposed rate increases Sincerely, Larry Sebastian Terrie Sebastian Item 14. - 254 HB -494- EC,E.IYED 2015 OCT 13 PM 3: 29 CITY CLERK CITY OF'�1'JTI�NGTONBEACH "'t�-11,z6ez c/ v � J HB -495- Item 14. - 255 J / e� �� � --�- -l/��/�t�-�'�-�1 ��•�' �L lei.,_ � �z® ice- � y G Y 7 Q w r7l r > w Item 14. - 256 xB --/I96- Od6be4- /2'Za/s— pw l g- o toh e r:�a ►�e Pc gz6 y,L cw fir) c( al- 54 C N O C er Z p rn o , zt -o < WITrn �-T1 C7 N HB -497- Item 14. - 257 Print Request Page 1 of 1 Request: 23711 Entered on: 09/14/2016 12:39 PM Customer Information Name:Marquille Randall Phone:(714) 962-3167 Address:9252 Sunridge Drive Alt.

current use in units A unit equals 748 gallons or 100 cubic feet (ccf) of water City Council Resolution 99-50 established formulas for the annual adjustment of the water commodity rate These formulas take into account the changes in the costs of groundwater and imported water and the percentages of each that the City is allowed to take to meet water demands The adjustment in the City's commodity rate = (new cost per acre-foot— prior cost per acre- foot) / conversion factor of 435 6 billing units per acre-foot When the current commodity rate was established in 2011, the percentage of the City's total water demand that it was permitted to pump from the Orange County Groundwater Basin (the Basin Pumping Percentage) was 65 percent The cost of every acre-foot of groundwater that was pumped from the groundwater basin, also known as the Replenishment Assessment, was $253 00 per acre-foot The remainder of the City's water supply (35 percent) came from water imported from the Colorado River and the State Water Project The cost of this imported water was $797 50 per acre-foot Based on these costs and percentages the cost of an acre foot of water was $253 x 65% + 797 50 x 35% _ $443 58 per acre-foot The new Basin Pumping Percentage is 70 percent and the Replenishment Assessment is $324 per acre-foot The new imported water rate is $942 per acre foot and the imported percentage of our water supply is 30 percent Based on these costs and percentages the new cost of an acre foot of water is $324 x 70% + $942 x 30% _ $509 40 per acre-foot Utilizing the adjustment formula, the proposed increase in the commodity rate for Fiscal Year 2015/16 amounts to ($509 40 - $443 58)/435 6 = $0 1511 per billing unit Using these formulas, the commodity rate for future years through Fiscal Year 2019-2020 shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the Basin Pumping Percentage, the Replenishment Assessment, and the cost of imported water based on information available after

America was built on free enterprise and at one time a monopoly was outlawed in some areas , We protest the increases on both the water rates and sewer rates We have been told to cut back water usage and everyone has complied with the best of their ability Now we are told we will have a rate increase This is unjust in every sense of the word. Even though the increases appear to be small at this point, history proves there will be more in the future The sewers are not being monitored as they once were and there has been flooding of streets due to this abandonment of responsibilities Areas that are beyond the competency of the city's sewernng agency have requested Orange County Sanitation Districts support in the past For example Warner near Pacific Coast Highway The bottom line is when the city receives a savings on utilities we never see the outcome Another example would be when the Central Library and other public buildings installed solar panels The residents were not offered a discount to install them as well 'Nor have we ever been notified about the amount saved or seen a decrease in our bills It is ludicrous to request increases for less service Perhaps it would be smart for both agencies to review other options internally before asking the residents to cover them I would think with all the new construction of apartments they could start with those developers/owners The infrastructure of our city should have come first We're still investigating how it was possible to pass the environmental impact study. I'm sure you have received your Southern California Gas Company bills with an insert asking for another increase. This project is described as "The Pipeline Safety and Reliability Project which has more to do with San Diego County and the Riverside County line to the Marine Corps Air Station, Miramar Why should they be asking for our money as well Can't they make this a Corp of Engineers project?
