Alcala, Abigail <br />From: Pam Kiwerski < <br />Sent: Wednesday, January 3, 2024 10:32 AM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Sanitation services usage charge <br />Dear Santa Ana City Clerk: <br />I have been notified that the city of Santa Ana is considering raising homeowners' charges for sanitation service <br />usage. I vehemently oppose this proposal for the following reasons: <br />1. It hasn't been that long since usage rates were raised due to a change in service providers. <br />2. Homeowners got no additional services for that price increase. In fact, sorting items became more <br />complicated and time consuming for residents. <br />3. It is unreasonable to double costs and then to further increase usage fees over the course of five years. <br />4. The proposal does not cap increased prices --City Council can entertain additional Proposition 218 <br />proposals seeking to further increase fees in any year. <br />5. No arguments have been made to adequately explain the need for additional charges as proposed. <br />Please avoid raising Sanitation Services user charges. Please considering alternative plans that would alleviate <br />some of the financial burdens mentioned in the public hearing notice. <br />Thank you for considering my feedback, <br />pamela m. kiwerski (homeowner) <br /> 92705 <br />electronic signature: pamela m. kiwerski <br />
