gy�NSA NTo�G City Council Regular Meeting - <br />Submit your written public <br />_= �y comment <br />OP'NNF.D CDv City of Pleasanton <br />Full Name <br />Email (this entry is disclosable if <br />included) <br />Agenda Item Number <br />Comments <br />First Name: Vin <br />Last Name: Pohray <br />13 <br />Submitted On: <br />Oct 5, 2025, 09:31PM PDT <br />1. It's unclear why the city water portal and calculator displays only a 1 year <br />increase and claims a minimal $20 increase / bill in their "marketing" materials <br />and public presentation. <br />2. The city council is voting for a 4 -year increase and the full impact of that <br />should be disclosed to residents as opposed to not showing the facts front and <br />center <br />3. When one looks at the actual increases (in the small print tables for 5 <br />years) one sees a very different case. <br />a. I see a 400% increase in Pleasanton fixed rate from $9.25 to $47.27 <br />b. I see 170% increase in Zone 7 fixed rate from $50.81 to $134.36 <br />This equates to a 200% increase in Fixed charges from $60.06 to $181.93. <br />Where is the "only" $20/bill increase? The total extent of the increase is <br />hidden and not explained nor shared clearly. <br />3. 1 see a 50% increase in my Pleasanton variable charges from $2.47 to $4.5, <br />a 80% increase. <br />This is ALL city -imposed increases shown by percentage impact. Zone 7 will <br />add on and want their share which the city will "pass on". <br />ASK: <br />Why should the full burden be thrust on current residents over a short period <br />as opposed to being defrayed over the life of the projects (pay as you go). <br />Please consider the extent of increases being imposed unilaterally by the city <br />and limit the same to 2 years and reassess the city funds and rate increases. <br />Be transparent in your increases as opposed to showing only Year 1. <br />Total Bill <br />1. For a median user (of 30ccf), we already had suffered a steep 50% <br />
