Bust out your pocketbooks

A few things of interest on Tuesday’s Covina Council meeting:

1. Public hearing about the proposed increased water rates. Initial projections were that it could increase as much as 35 percent, but city officials recently said that is unrealistic.

2. I don’t see it on the agenda, but since it was cancelled last time around, the council should be discussing how to fill the vacancy created by the Nov. 30 resignation of former Councilwoman Meline Juarez.

3. The council could be joining the 21st technology if the council approves the purchasing of camera and web streaming equipment on Tuesday. It’s unclear from the documents I have just have much this costs.
