Fees are collected by Pleasanton, and Livermore sewer charges are transmitted directly to Livermore. It is proposed that the Council consider implementing a ten percent (10%) reduction to the Pleasanton local sewer service charge until the term of the Agreement expires in September 2023. The Livermore City Council is expected to make the same consideration for the Ruby Hill Project Area sewer customers and reduce the Livermore sewer service charge by (10%) at an upcoming City Council meeting. If approved, the (10%) reduction would be reflected on utility bills received after January 1, 2018. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council implement at ten percent (10%) reduction to sewer charges for Ruby Hill Project Area customers and amend Resolutions 15-796 and 92- 100 amending the Master Fee Schedule and approve an amendment to the Agreement for Wastewater and Disposal Services with the City of Livermore.
