Title for Water Board Initiative
Text of ballot title prepared by City Attorney:
Caption: Amends
Charter: Creates elected water board to set water rates.
Question: Shall an
elected water board set water rates and charges instead of City Council?
Summary: The City
Council currently sets water rates and charges. This proposed measure amends the
City Charter by creating a Public Water Board that would set water rates and
charges instead of City Council. The Public Water Board would be comprised of
city residents elected from each state senate district that is situated, in some
portion, within City boundaries.
