NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED FEE INCREASE

The City Council of the City of Clearlake will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Aug. 10, 2017, at the Clearlake Council Chambers, 14050 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, beginning at 6 p.m. to consider a garbage collection service rate increase as proposed by Clearlake Waste Solutions, the City of Clearlake’s franchised solid waste hauler. 

The proposed rates are below.

All current customers and those who will be required to use the service upon approval of the City’s Solid Waste Universal Service ordinance will be subject to payment of these rates. It is anticipated that the City Council will set these rates as the maximum rates allowed under their authority to set maximum collection rates as provided in City of Clearlake Municipal Code Section 11-3.13.

Important exemptions apply to the service requirement and include vacant undeveloped lots and vacation homes used exclusively by property owners. All property owners are encouraged to review the specific language of the Solid Waste Universal Service ordinance which can be obtained from the City Clerk or on the City’s Web site.

Owners of property and customers served by Clearlake Waste Solutions may protest the proposed increase in fees by addressing the City Council at the public hearing or filing a written protest with the City Clerk at the above address.

The written protest must identify the parcel served by address or APN (assessor’s parcel number) and be actually received (not postmarked) by the City Clerk, before or during the public hearing. Only one protest per parcel shall be counted for purposes of establishing a majority protest to the proposed fee increase.
