Sonoma Water is proposing to raise the wholesale rate of water by 10.56% from $1,061.04 per acre-foot to $1173.09 per acre foot. There is a Water Advisory Committee (WAC) made up of elected officials of each of the eight prime contractors, including Santa Rosa, that purchase water from Sonoma Water. The WAC is an advisory committee to the Sonoma Water Board of Directors. The City’s WAC Representative is Mayor Natalie Rogers. On April 3, 2023, the WAC is scheduled to vote on whether or not to recommend approval of the Sonoma Water proposed 2023/24 budget and rate increase to the Sonoma Water Board of Directors. The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is made of technical staff of each of the eight prime contractors that purchase water from Sonoma Water. The TAC provides technical analysis and recommendations to the WAC. The TAC considered Sonoma Water’s proposed 2023/24 budget and rates on March 6, 2023 and voted in favor of recommending the proposed budget and rate increase with Santa Rosa’s TAC representative voting in opposition. City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Minutes Page 9 of 15 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - Final March 28, 2023 The Board of Public Utilities reviewed Sonoma Water’s proposed budget and rate increase on March 16, 2023 and made a recommendation to City Council regarding Council’s direction to the City’s WAC Representative on Sonoma Water’s proposed 2023/24 budget and rates.
