8. PUBLIC HEARING  
8.1  
PUBLIC HEARING - PUBLIC HEARING ADOPTING NEW MISCELLANEOUS  
FEES AND INCREASING CERTAIN MISCELLANEOUS FEES (CONTINUED  
FROM THE NOVEMBER 17, 2022 REGULAR MEETING AGENDA)  
BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa Water miscellaneous fees and charges reimburse  
the department for specific services and includes charges typically based on time  
and materials or other methodologies that help define the cost of providing the  
specific services for various services provided by City staff. These charges are  
collected from the customers who receive the service so that the costs for specific  
services are not spread to the entire ratepayer base.  
Miscellaneous fees and charges were last updated in 2019. If the Board of Public  
Utilities adopts these fees at the Public Meeting on December 15, 2022, the  
changes to the miscellaneous fees will take effect 60 days after adoption, on  
February 13, 2023.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Budget Review Subcommittee  
and the Water Department that the Board of Public Utilities, by resolution, adopt  
new Water Department miscellaneous fees and charges for water and wastewater  
services, increasing certain miscellaneous fees.
