Analysis:
The Sewer Service Fund is designated solely for facilities and resources relating to the rehabilitation, replacement, repair and maintenance of City-owned sewers and lift stations. This is in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 5470, and is included as Chapter 14.54 in the HBMC. Section 14.54.070 Annual Program Review of the HBMC requires an annual review and performance audit of the Sewer Service Fund by the Public Works Commission. The audit was presented to the Commission at the May 16, 2018, meeting. The Commission voted to recommend that that the City Council receive and file the Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit in accordance with HBMC Section 14.54.070 for Fiscal Year 2017/18. The report has been amended to reflect the final audited figures as reflected in the FY 2016-17 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Per the aforementioned section of the HBMC, “the City Council shall receive, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the recommendations of the Public Works Commission concerning fees, rates and charges proposed to be modified or added to the Sewer Service User Charge.” The public hearing addressing the proposed changes to both the water and sewer service charges was held on March 19, 2018. The City Council adopted the Sewer Service User Charges at the April 2, 2018 regular meeting.
