Q:The notice states that Pleasanton's rates will remain near the bottom of nearby agencies following the rate increase. Where can I find a chart with comparable rates? A: A chart with comparable rates throughout the area is available on page 4 and page 14 of the July 18, 2023 City Council meeting agenda report in which the new rates were presented to City Council. This chart can be found at this link or viewed below. Comparing Pleasanton's 2026 rates to other agencies' 2023 rates is not comparing like values as we cannot know how other agencies' rates will change in the upcoming years, although it is likely that they will increase over this time.
