We operate a small business in Hutton Ranch Plaza and are in receipt of the Notice of Public Hearing
recently sent by the city to us as owners of property in Hutton Ranch. I am questioning why the
"commercial" charge starts with a 300 gallon container when we have only a 95 gallon container at
our site that is picked up weekly (though not by the city). I'm sure there are other small businesses
that generate much less than 300 gallons of waste weekly that will be impacted by the proposed
changes. We are probably generating less waste than most residential users. I reviewed our tax
notice for current charges for comparison but don't find an itemization of the city taxes for solid
waste. What is our current assessment and what will be the new assessment for our property?
