PROP 218 UPDATE: Andrew Jared presented the Prop 218 Update report. Director Linville inquired about the historical process of rate setting hearings.

Director Linville requested clarification on the concept of exhaustion of administrative remedies. Mr. Jared explained that, in the context of administrative remedies, such as at the city or Planning Commission level, a person …
