City of Santa Ana <br />Attention City Clerk <br />P.O.Box 1988, M30 <br />Santa Ana, CA 97201 <br />Members of City Council <br />ZT9 rlOy 13 PM 3. t 0 <br />CITY OF SA d TA ANA <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL. <br />I would like to protest against the potential water rate increases. <br />The city may be in violation of proposition 218 which requires voter <br />approval of property -related fees, and prohibits agencies, like cities to <br />transfer water funds to the general fund, <br />For years the city has transferred money from the water fund to <br />its general fund where funds can be spent on other city expenditures. <br />In 205, the city proposed water and sewer hikes for 5 years. They <br />received over 200 letters of protests, which they ignored and the water <br />rates were increased. We need better management of the authorized <br />fund and water funds not transferred to the general fund. <br />Santa Ana and California are being taxed beyond what is <br />reasonable for a resident. Please re-evaluate your water and sewer rate <br />increases. <br />Sincerely, <br />Charles Sutherland <br />2204 Pasadena St <br />Santa Ana, CA 92705 <br />
