The Jury found no evidence that either the District Board or staff is “preparing the ground” with their customers for what may be steep increases in their bills. The Board agrees that at the time the Grand Jury investigation was performed, minimal work had been done on a new rate study. Since that time, the District has accomplished the following related to a new rate study: Retained Rural Community Assistance Corporation (“RCAC”) to perform a rate study. Held two public meetings of the District Finance Committee meeting to review the methodology and policy questions for the rate study. Held one public Board meeting to review the methodology and policy questions for the rate study. Additional public meetings will be held to educate the public before any Proposition 218 hearing.
