The Vallejo Wastewater Board of Trustees unanimously approved the utility's schedule of rates, charges, and fees for the upcoming 2026-27 fiscal year during a special meeting on June 23, 2026. The board adopted Resolution 2026-6175, officially establishing the updated fee schedule that will go into effect on July 1, 2026. The measure was originally placed on the meeting's consent calendar but was pulled for a separate roll call vote to ensure compliance with voting requirements. During the proceedings, it was noted that the rate approval required a two-thirds majority vote. The necessary threshold was met with the virtual attendance of Trustee Mathias, who utilized a "just clause" provision to join the meeting remotely while caring for family members. Vice President Sors moved to approve the fee schedule, which was then seconded. The board advanced the measure without a formal staff presentation or public comment, passing the resolution in a 6-0 roll call vote before adjourning the special session.
