GREENVILLE Greenville City Council’s Utilities Committee on Thursday revisited the city’s plans to increase rates on water and sewer for city residents.
By unanimous consent, all three committee members approved a recommendation to council for a decrease in the planned rate hikes.
A previous measure, which would have increased water rates by 50 percent in May 2021, and 18 percent in November 2021, as well as hikes of 25 and 10 percent for sewer rates, respectively, was voted down 6-0 during council’s March 16 meeting.

The inspections will look at: Memorial Park, Newberry/Phil Preziosi Park; Youngs Woods Park, Lose Park, Ways Garden, East End Park, Veterans Memorial Park and Brandon Park.

“Tom was so much more than a councilperson. He was 24/7 working for L.A. with tireless energy,” wrote Gerry Hans, president of the community organization Friends of Griffith Park, to KCET. LaBonge first worked for Mayor Tom Bradley’s youth program in 1974. Two years later, he was hired by Councilwoman Peggy Stevenson and, four years later, he went on to serve Councilman John Ferraro. He ran for city council in 1993 but lost. Instead, he became an aide to Mayor Richard Riordan. In 2000, he was hired by the Department of Water and Power. Eventually, in 2001, he was elected to the Los Angeles City Council, where he served until 2015.
