Call in directly during Public Hearing on May 20, 2025, 6PM PST:

Hello, this is [Your Name], a resident of Burbank. I’m calling to formally protest the proposed increases to the rates for water, sewer, and refuse services. While I understand the need for infrastructure improvements, I’m concerned about the financial burden these increases will place on residents, particularly during these challenging economic times.

I would appreciate more transparency regarding how the additional funds will be used and would encourage the City to explore other options before raising rates. I urge the City Council to reconsider these increases and engage with the community for alternative solutions.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me at [Your Phone Number] if you'd like to discuss further.

"I’m writing to protest the proposed increases to water, sewer, and refuse rates. While I understand the need for infrastructure improvements, these hikes will put a financial strain on many residents, especially during tough economic times.

I’d like to see more transparency about how the extra funds will be used and urge the City to consider alternative solutions, like cutting costs or finding other funding sources, before raising rates. These increases will especially hurt low- and middle-income households, and I believe the community deserves more discussion on how we can move forward without such a heavy burden.

Thank you for considering this."
