A RESOLUTION OF THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL
ADJUSTING WATER RATES
WHEREAS, The City of Seal Beach ( "City ") maintains a municipal water system
for the furnishing of water to water users in the City and has previously adopted
water rates per Resolution 5159 dated August 11, 2003 for the sale and
distribution of water;
WHEREAS, It has always been the policy of the City Council that the City's
water utility be self - supporting from charges made by the City for water furnished
to customers and all services rendered in connection therewith;
WHEREAS, The cost of operating and maintaining the City's municipal water
system has steadily increased in recent years;
WHEREAS, The Municipal Water District of Orange County and the Orange
County Water District, having the sole authority to set rates for water purchases,
replenishment assessments, and associated fees for the importation of water and
pumping of groundwater, respectively, deliver water to the City and pass through
increases in the cost of providing such water to the City;
WHEREAS, Seal Beach Municipal Code §9.35.020 provides for the
establishment of water rates by City Council resolution;
WHEREAS, On December 21, 2009, the City mailed notice of the proposed rate
adjustment to each water user, explaining the total amount of the proposed rate
adjustment, the amount each water user would pay, the duration of the
payments, the reason for the adjustment in rates, and the basis upon which the
rate adjustment was calculated. The notice also provided information regarding
the public hearing on the proposed rate adjustment as well as instructions for
providing written protests regarding the proposed rate adjustment; and
WHEREAS, The City Council held a public hearing regarding the proposed
water rate adjustment on February 8, 2010, at which time the City Council
received public testimony and considered all objections and protests to the
proposed charges. The item was continued to March 8, 2010, then continued to
March 22, 2010, and thereafter continued again to April 12, 2010. Having
received no written protests from a majority of owners of the parcels upon which
the charges are proposed for imposition, the City Council therefore declares its
intent to adopt the proposed rate adjustment.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
That the following water rates are hereby established and fixed as specified in
the following schedule and in accordance with provisions on the following pages:
