BCWA's 31% rate increase is based largely in trust that they will use the money to the benefit of rate payers. At this point, I highly doubt it, nor have faith that BCWA can ever be trusted without PUC oversight.
The vote to reinstate Sandra Mack as their legal counsel appeared illegal. They've posted the same "RFP - Legal" meeting notice every month, and then did a vote late at night to reinstate Ms. Mack on that same non descriptive notice in an attempt to keep the public out of the discussion.
Sandra Mack has to be reviewing these notices. So was Sandra Mack's legal advice to hold an illegal meeting so she could slip in without public debate???
BCWA was controversial for the past two decades because of tactics like this. The Board should be ashamed of itself for continuing to promote such tactics, while at the same time, proclaiming a need to rebuild trust within the community.
As far as I'm concerned, the meeting to reinstate Sandra Mack as their legal counsel sent a clear message that BCWA cannot be trusted with a 5 year 30+% rate increase. The foundation for that increase was trust in the community to act on rate payers best interests.
They've just sent a message - rate payers be damned!
