Background and Analysis:
Ratepayer Meeting
The PBIA Bylaws establish that there be an annual meeting of the PBIA ratepayers held during the month of September. The PBIA Leadership Team met on July 27 and they propose the annual ratepayer meeting be held the evening of Wednesday, September 27. Staff proposes further details and discussion for the Board’s consideration in attachment 1.

The PBIA Leadership Team recommends completing a survey prior to the annual ratepayer meeting in September. Proposed details and discussion for the Board’s consideration are in attachment 2. For the purpose of providing an example, the 2016 ratepayer survey is attachment 3.
