Hidden Valley Lake board approves NBS 2025 rate study, authorizes 218 process
Summary
The Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District Board approved NBS—s 2025 rate study and directed staff to begin the 218 process to implement the alternative rate schedule, voting 5-0. Presenters from NBS included Greg Clumpner and Sara Mares.
The Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District Board of Directors approved the NBS 2025 Rate Study (alternative rate schedule) and authorized staff to proceed with the 218 process after a presentation by NBS staff.
Director Gary Graves moved to adopt the study; Director Sean Millerick seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote of 5-0 (Directors Graves, Lieberman, Metcalf, Millerick and Freeman voting yes). Greg Clumpner of NBS attended in person and Sara Mares participated by teleconference to present the findings and recommended alternative schedule.
The board vote authorizes staff to begin the administrative steps necessary to implement the new schedule, described in the minutes as the "218 process." The minutes record no public protests and no public comments on the rate item during the meeting. The 218 process referenced in the minutes is the formal notice-and-protest process used in California to implement or increase certain property-related fees and charges; the board did not adopt final rates at the meeting but authorized staff to proceed with that public-notice process.
The action follows routine budget and rate-setting work presented by NBS and recorded in the meeting minutes; the board did not record additional direction or amendments to the study during the session.
The board will return to the matter after the required notices and any protest period associated with the 218 process, or when staff schedules a next hearing or adoption action.
