City Council - Jun 2, 2026
The city hasn't meaningfully raised sewer collection rates in years, and now rates jump about 100% in 2027 to fund repairs to an aging system — 73% of which is more than 36 years old. Condos and apartments will pay the same rate, commercial and industrial get one collection rate, and new development pays a $2,250 connection fee per unit. A Prop 218 hearing comes in November.
