10. Majority Protest. <br /> A. A majority protest exists if written protests are timely submitted and not withdrawn by <br /> the customers of record with respect to a majority (50% plus one) of the parcels <br /> subject to the proposed charge. <br /> B. While the City may inform the public of the number of parcels served by the City <br /> when a notice of proposed rates is mailed, the number of parcels with active <br /> customer accounts served by the City on the date of the hearing shall control in <br /> determining whether a majority protest exists. <br /> 11. Tabulation of Protests. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City shall tabulate all <br /> protests received including those received during the public hearing, and shall report the <br /> results of the tabulation to the City Council. If the total number of protests received is <br /> insufficient to constitute a. majority protest, the City may determine the absence of a <br /> majority protest without validating the protests received, but may instead deem them all <br /> valid without further examination. Further, if the number of protests received is obviously <br /> substantially fewer than the number required to constitute a majority protest, the City may <br /> determine the absence of a majority protest without opening the envelopes in which <br /> protests are returned. <br /> 12. Report of Tabulation. If at the conclusion of the public hearing, the City Manager <br /> determines that s/he will require additional time to tabulate the protests, s/he shall so <br /> advise the City Council, which may adjourn the meeting to allow the tabulation to be <br /> completed on another day or days. If so, the City Council shall declare the time and place <br /> of tabulation, which shall be conducted in a place where interested members of the public <br /> may observe the tabulation, and the City Council shall declare the time at which the <br /> meeting shall be resumed to receive and act on the tabulation report of the City Manager. <br /> SECTION 2.
