I am a resident and property owner in the City of Newport Beach residing 1738 Tradewinds Lane. The proposed sewer service charge increase of 90% over the next 5 years is not in line with anticipated inflation and should be managed with better efficiencies and controls. In addition, the proposed sewer use charge increase of 54% over the next 5 years is not in line with anticipated inflation and should be managed with better efficiencies and controls.

Per my enclosed water bill, I am paying a total of $16.85 per month for sewer alone, numbers far higher than those on your "current" column. For example, you list "Sewer Use Charge (HCF)" at $0.35 in the "current" column, while my bill shows it to be $3.85. Additionally, contrary to Proposition 13, there is a sewer charge on my annual property tax bill (OCSD sewer user fee) in the amount of $450.80, up from the previous year of $431.20, for an increase of $19.60 that you can arbitrarily add without going to the voters or having public hearings. Add up this kind of money by all the parcels in Orange County, and the amount of money we are already paying for sewer service (not counting water usage, fees and service charges) is staggering. On these grounds I hereby protest any planned increases by the OCSD or the city or any other entity as to sewage charges on my parcel, listed above. Sincerely, Lynn T.

Newport Beach, CA. 92660 Parcel No. L�� — "r) �� CC: Harbor ViewCommunityAssociation Concerning: Increase in Water Rates Dear Newport Beach City Council: I am protesting the increase in rates because I suspect it is going to be used to buoy -up the unfunded pension costs. I will pay for costs of repairs or replacement of system components but not for the level of pension and medical coverage that is not afforded those in private industry. Private sector employees rarely get more that 15 — 20% of their final salary as a pension benefit (if any at all) and probably no medical coverage. With union pressure you have approved unreal salaries and benefits which we have no say in. With legal support from unions these benefits have theoretically been locked in and not challengeable. So, whether the public can afford it or not, the public employees get paid because the money comes from deep pockets (taxes). That is not the way to run a business. If the companies earnings are down then benefits are down, or insurance kicks in. All of these grandiose benefits should be paid for by those receiving the benefits if they can afford it. The unions should be made responsible for covering what they are promising employees. I am also against paying higher water rates because you have told us to cut back which directly effects water revenue. A concerned homeowner, Martin C.
