McFarlane gave a PowerPoint presentation showing
the proposed sewer and water enterprise budgets
for 2007/2008, including: funding sources, overall
service charges, typical residential rates, comparisons
to other Lake Tahoe agencies, operating costs,
depreciation, infrastructure projects, and debt service.
She also distributed a list of capital projects planned.
Debbie Henderson reported a total of 188 protests
were received by the deadline. Of those, 138 were
determined to be valid protests (i.e., they included
the required information such as parcel number,
name, etc.). She stated the valid protests constituted
1.6 % of the 50% required to be considered a valid
protest.
Staff will perform an analysis of the protests and
respond to specific requests. They will also use
comments received to provide educational
opportunities for District customers.
David Kelly, Tahoe Area Coordinating Council for
the Disabled, spoke in favor of the rate increases.
He felt the District keeps the rates as low as possible
without putting the infrastructure in jeopardy.
\r
Mr. Kelly also spoke in favor of developing a
rate reduction program for people with low incomes
who own properties in Lake Tahoe.
