Councilmember Laliberte asked <br /> that staff continue to advocate for more transparency on taxpayer statements in <br /> the future. <br /> City Manager Trudgeon reported that that was listed as part of the draft city- <br /> supported legislative priorities to be presented for approval later on tonight's <br /> agenda. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred, citing the example on tax statements for school districts' <br /> voter-approved versus non-voter-approved levies, speaking in support of delineat- <br /> ing HRA or EDA levies in a similar way on tax statements. <br /> C, Consider Adopting the 2018 Utility Rate Adjustments <br /> As detailed in the RCA, Finance Director Miller referenced page 2 that displayed <br /> average utility rate impacts for single-family homes in Roseville, Mr. Miller <br /> highlighted those changes proposed and included in the draft resolution formally <br /> adopting 2018 utility rates, as previously presented to the City Council and public. <br /> Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one appearing for <br /> or against. <br /> Etten moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11477 (Attach- <br /> ment <br /> A) entitled, "Resolution Establishing the 2018 Utility Rates;" as pre- <br /> sented. <br /> Mayor Roe thanked staff for including Attachment B recapping each utility and <br /> providing transparency for the public. <br /> Mayor Roe referenced Councilmember McGehee's support for the proposed utili- <br /> ty rates, as provided in written comments for tonight's meeting.
