City Council Meeting - Submit <br /> Submitted On: <br /> your written public comment Nov 7, 2023, 11:47AM PST <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Full Name First Name: Victoria <br /> Last Name: labarge <br /> Email (this entry is disclosable vickilab@comcast.net <br /> if included) <br /> City Council Meeting Date November 07, 2023 <br /> Agenda Item Number 16 <br /> Comments Possible duplicate submission. <br /> Dear Mayor, Council Members and Staff, <br /> Whiting again today to implore you do not pass the increases as <br /> proposed. 30% is too great a burden to implement in January 2024. <br /> It seems odd to me that a second look by consultants and staff <br /> could suddenly find that only a 12% increase would be needed in <br /> 2025. Maybe a 3rd look would find even less increases are <br /> necessary. <br /> If you are considering the reduced increase in 2025 (from 20% down <br /> to 12%) why not start with a 21% increase in 2024 then see what is <br /> truly needed in 2025. <br /> In addition, I will say again and keep saying it, stop the irresponsible <br /> spend on refurbishing a skatepark and century house, move the <br /> money that came from ARPA to begin with, back to where it can be <br /> used for our water, specifically to help with the new wells needed. <br /> That 10.5 million is almost half of what is needed. Do the right thing. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Vicki LaBarge <br />
