Pursuant to Chapter 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, the Council of the City of Palo Alto may by resolution adopt rules and regulations governing utility services, fees and charges. B. On June 13, 2016, the City Council held a full and fair public hearing regarding the proposed rate increase and considered all protests against the proposals. C. As required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California Constitution and applicable law, notice of the June 13, 2016 public hearing was mailed to all City of Palo Alto Utilities refuse customers by April 29, 2016. D. The City Clerk has tabulated the total number of written protests presented by the close of the public hearing, and determined that it was less than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of customers and property owners subject to the proposed refuse rate amendments, therefore a majority protest does not exist against the proposal. NOW, THEREFORE, the Council of the City of Palo Alto RESOLVES as follows: SECTION 1. Pursuant to Section 12.20.010 of the Palo Alto Municipal Code, Utility Rate Schedule R1 (Domestic Refuse Collection) is hereby amended to read in accordance with Sheets R11 and R12, and Utility Rate Schedules R2 and R3 are hereby consolidated into Utility Rate Schedule RC (Commercial Refuse Collection) to read in accordance with Sheets RC 1 through RC8, attached to the FY2017 Adopted Budget Staff Report # 6932 as Attachment H Residential Rate Schedule and Attachment I Refuse, and incorporated herein. The foregoing Utility Rate Schedules, as amended, shall become effective on July 1, 2016. SECTION 2. The rates contained in the Rate Schedules shall be in effect until Council adopts a new refuse rate structure. SECTION 3. The Council finds that the revenue derived from the refuse rates approved by this resolution do not exceed the funds required to provide refuse service, and the revenue derived from the adoption of this resolution shall be used only for the purposes set forth in Article VII, Section 2, of the Charter of the City of Palo Alto. // (SGY7MKR)RZIPSTI-('*&()*%'() 060216 sh 6053784 2 SECTION 4. The Council finds that the fees and charges adopted by this resolution are charges imposed for a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that are not provided to those not charged, and do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of providing the service or product. SECTION 5. The Council finds that the adoption of this resolution changing refuse collection rates to meet operating expenses, purchase supplies and materials, meet financial reserve needs and obtain funds for capital improvements necessary to maintain service is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to California Public Resources Code Sec. 21080(b)(8) and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations Sec. 15273(a). After reviewing the staff report and all attachments presented to Council, the Council incorporates these documents herein and finds that sufficient evidence has been presented setting forth with specificity the basis for this claim of CEQA exemption.
