COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TM AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for May 7, 2014 to Consider Adopting Resolution Setting Future Water, Wastewater and Solid Waste Rate Schedules Pursuant to Proposition 218 for Residential, Commercial and Industrial Customers MEETING DATE: March 5, 2014 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for May 7, 2014 to consider adopting resolution setting future water, wastewater and solid waste rate schedules pursuant to Proposition 218 for residential, commercial, and industrial customers. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Rate schedules and rates analysis information were supplied to the City Council at the October 15, 2103 Shirtsleeve meeting prior to mailing Proposition 218 protest hearing notices and preliminary to a public hearing to consider adopting the various rate schedules for the period from May 8, 2014 through December 31, 2018. A second set of Proposition 218 protest notices (English and Spanish translations) were mailed to approximately 50,000 addresses pursuant to City Council direction on February 19, 2014. The various rate schedules set maximum limits on the various rates for the next five years, and each year the City Council will be requested to approve the actual rates to be implemented. At the public hearing on May 7, 2014, the City Council will be asked to receive public comment; adopt resolutions setting future adjustments to water, wastewater and solid waste rates with limits for the period May 8, 2014 through December 31, 2018; adopt a resolution approving property owner meter charge schedule; and adopt a resolution approving vacant residential water and wastewater rates. Property Owner Meter Charge Schedule At the March 26, 2012 City Council meeting, various alternative property owner meter charge schedules were presented to the City Council. Prior policy direction from the City Council set the charge for a single-family residential 3/ -inch water meter at $300. As the Water Meter Program moves into the multi -family and non-residential properties, larger meters will be required and a meter charge schedule based upon meter size needs to be established. Presented in Exhibit A is the recommended meter charge schedule, along with previously -presented alternatives. The recommended charge schedule is based upon the actual purchase price for the meter assembly (meter, register, and radio transmitter) plus 55 percent, which is identical to the 3/ -inch residential meter charge basis. The 55 percent covers a portion of the cost of the meter box, miscellaneous piping, and installation. The capacity -based charge schedule sets the meter cost according to the hydraulic capacity of the meter. The installed cost is based upon contractor bid prices from construction for phases 1 through 3. The Lodi charge schedule is taken from the City's published Fee and Service Charge Schedule. Comparative charges from the City of Santa Clara are listed, and they are fairly consistent with the recommended schedule, particularly considering most of the meters remaining to be installed are 3/ to 1 inch in size. An additional column showing "no charge" is provided upon the request of the mobile home park owners. All options presented in Exhibit A have been included in the Proposition 218 notice and the City Council will be asked to select and approve a single option at the May 7, 2014 public hearing.

Vacant Residential Unit Water and Wastewater Rate Staff recommends the vacant residential unit water and wastewater utility charge for customers without a metered service be equal to the monthly base charge for metered customers having the same size of meter in their future service. There would not be a specific vacant unit charge for the following customer classes as explained. • Vacant single family detached with meter — customers would pay the monthly base rate and presumably there would be no usage and, therefore, no usage charge. • Vacant single family attached (duplex, triplex, fourplex — master meter) — property owners would pay the monthly base rate and usage charges for the occupied units. • Vacant single family attached (duplex, triplex, fourplex — individual meter) — customers would pay the monthly base rate and presumably there would be no usage and, therefore, no usage charge. • Vacant apartment/condominium (master meter) — property owners would pay the monthly base rate and usage charges for the occupied units. • Vacant apartment/condominium (individual meter) — property owners would pay the monthly base rate and presumably there would be no usage and, therefore, no usage charge. • Vacant mobile home (master meter) — property owners would pay the monthly base rate and usage charges for the occupied units. 3. Water and Wastewater Rate Update In 2009, the City Council approved a five-year rate program for the wastewater utility and in 2010 for the water utility. Each separate action by the Council complied with the Proposition 218 requirements pertaining to such actions. The last pre -approved rate adjustment under that program was for the water utility, and a 2.5 percent increase effective February 15, 2014, below the 3.3 percent ENR index increase, was approved at a public hearing held on December 18, 2013. A summary of the programmed rate adjustments and the implemented rate adjustments for the past five years is provided in the table in Exhibit B. The purpose of this table is to demonstrate past rate increases have frequently been below the approved adjustments. In preparation of the new five-year program, staff engaged the services of The Reed Group to analyze the financial models and current rate structure within both utilities. The final report, Water and Wastewater Rate Update Study, is provided in Exhibit C. Staff is recommending a new five-year rate adjustment program for water, wastewater and solid waste that will be subject to the Proposition 218 process. As in the past, rate adjustment forecasts are based upon the financial models for each utility. The water and wastewater financial models are provided in Exhibits D and E, respectively. For both the water and wastewater utilities, the programmed adjustments are capped at three percent per year. Important elements of the financial models are presented below. Water Financial Model 1. Financial assumptions presented on the final page were checked and reconfirmed against actual numbers. 2. Annual adjustments are capped at three percent and are indexed by the Engineering News Record 20 -Cities Average Index. 3. Capital expenditures continue for the next four years of the Water Meter Program and include installation of meters at multi -family and non-residential customer locations. 4. Debt service payments for the water treatment facilities are approximately $2.3 million per year.

New development revenue toward payment of the water plant debt service is assumed minimal to retain the utility's high bond rating. 6. Maintenance is scheduled for all wells in the system, amounting to approximately $1.2 million. 7. Residual bond proceeds from the water treatment facilities financing, amounting to approximately $2.6 million, are not shown in the financial model and will most likely be used to pay debt service in a future year. 8. Net available capital at the end of Fiscal Year 2018/19 could be used to pay off a portion of the water treatment facilities debt at a considerable interest savings to our customers. Wastewater Financial Model 1. Financial assumptions presented on the final page were checked and reconfirmed against actual numbers. 2. Annual adjustments are capped at three percent and are indexed by the Engineering News Record 20 -Cities Average Index. 3. Wastewater main rehabilitation continues at an investment rate of approximately $2.2 million every other year. 4. The 2003 Certificates of Participation debt service is paid off in the first year, amounting to approximately $3.2 million. 5. Debt service payments for the improvements at White Slough are approximately $3.5 million per year. 6. New development revenue toward payment of the wastewater plant debt service is assumed minimal to retain the utility's high bond rating. 7. Capital expenditures are planned, amounting to approximately $11.4 million, to improve the irrigation conveyance and pumping facilities and to expand the secondary/industrial storage at White Slough in the latter two years of the model. 8. Net available capital at the end of Fiscal Year 2018/19 is relatively low. At the January 6, 2010 City Council meeting to consider setting usage -based rates for water and wastewater, the following information was provided. "The City has an existing usage -based rate structure for non-residential customers, and it is recommended that rate structure be maintained for those non-residential accounts for the time being. This structure includes a monthly base charge referenced to the meter size and a commodity charge of $0.537 per CCF as presented in Exhibit C. It needs to be noted that the non-residential commodity charge is approximately one-half of the weighted average residential commodity charge ($.537 versus $1.11 per CCF) and that future work will need to be done to amend the non-residential rate structure to make it more comparable to the residential commodity charge rate. Both the base charge and commodity charge are likely to be increased." The recommendations within the rate study provided in Exhibit C present a transition plan to implement the abovementioned structural changes to the rates. In addition, the rate study addresses the following issues concerning the City's water and wastewater utilities and user rates. A. Estimated annual water and wastewater rate revenue requirements for the next five years B. Current flat and usage -based water and wastewater rate structures C. Water and wastewater customer account, water usage, and wastewater flow characteristics and influence on rate setting D.

A summary of the programmed rates for water and wastewater with the three percent adjustment and the structural changes are presented in Exhibit F and will be included in the Proposition 218 notice. 4. Solid Waste Rates The existing agreement with Waste Management for Solid Waste Collection, Recycling and Green Waste Collection and Processing Services in the City of Lodi (Agreement) was adopted in 2008 and extends until December 31, 2023. An amendment to the Agreement was approved in 2010 that gives the Contractor the unilateral option to extend the Agreement until December 31, 2030. Section 7 Rates, paragraphs b. and c. of the Agreement establish provisions for annual adjustment to the rates that are repeated below. b. On April 1, 2009, and on each anniversary thereof during the term of this Agreement, the rates shall be adjusted in a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for San Francisco -Oakland -San Jose, California area (CPI), All Items (1982 — 84 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the Index) for the twelve (12) month period ending December 31 of the preceding calendar year. c. In January of each year, Contractor shall send to City a revised rate schedule reflecting the new rates, as adjusted by the Index as provided in Section 7.b. City Council will act on rate adjustments to be effective on April 1 of that year. Staff recommends Council approve an annual rate adjustment that, at Waste Management's option, would be either (a) 80 percent of the annual change in the CPI, plus an adjustment for extraordinary increases in landfill fees, fuel and energy costs and changes in law up to 100 percent of the annual change in the CPI, or (b) 100 percent of the annual change in the CPI without those other adjustments but with a certification that Waste Management's costs had increased by more than 100 percent of the change in the CPI. Any increase greater than 100 percent of the CPI would require a separate Proposition 218 procedure and is subject to City Council approval. This change would simplify the rate adjustment process by generally making any changes in fuel, landfill and energy costs inclusive in the rate adjustment. In addition, a new category of solid waste rates is added titled, "Commercial Compactor Rates" that apply to the smaller commercial waste compactors like those existing at Lodi Cinema 12 and in the City parking lot adjacent to the Woolworth Building. This rate schedule is provided in Exhibit G. FISCAL IMPACT: Increased revenues are required to keep up with cost of service increases and new mandated costs. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The City of Lodi continues to install water meters on unmetered service connections of single family, multi -family, and non-residential customers. The City expects to complete the meter retrofit program in 2018. At the beginning of each year, the City transitions batches of customers to usage -based water rates using data collected from water meters, and the City is also beginning to transition customers to usage -based wastewater rates as well. In 2008, the City retained The Reed Group, Inc. to assist in developing financial plans and utility rates for the City's water and wastewater utilities. Various analyses have been performed since that time to help guide the City in dealing with a variety of water and wastewater rate and financial issues, including the transition to usage -based billing. The purpose of this report is to recommend water and wastewater rates that will meet each utility's financial needs and continue the transition towards usage -based billing for all customers. This report addresses the following issues concerning the City's water and wastewater utilities and user rates: ❖ Estimated annual water and wastewater rate revenue requirements for the next five years ❖ Current flat and usage -based water and wastewater rate structures, and the need to continue to develop new usage -based rate structures ❖ Water and wastewater customer account, water usage, and wastewater flow characteristics and influence on rate setting ❖ Cost of service and rate design issues related to development of new usage -based water and wastewater rate structures ❖ Recommendations for new water and wastewater rate schedules, as well as adjustments in the level of the rates during the next five years ❖ Affect of the proposed new water and wastewater rates on various residential and non-residential customers ❖ Summary of plans to continue the transition to usage -based water and wastewater rates for each customer classification ❖ Plans and requirements for adopting new water and wastewater rates. REVENUE NEEDS OF THE WATER AND WASTEWATER UTILITIES Several years ago, The Reed Group, Inc. assisted the City by developing multi-year financial plan models for the water and wastewater utilities. These models enabled the City to evaluate the financial implications of the meter retrofit program, the construction and financing of the new surface water treatment plant, and other capital improvements of both utilities, as well as ongoing operation and maintenance costs, debt service obligations, THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 1 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY and other factors affecting the financial condition and needs of the utilities. Since that time, City staff has annually updated the financial plan models. The financial plan models have enabled the City to make near-term financial and rate decisions with a long-term planning horizon in mind, and this has led to the moderation and stabilization of annual rate increases for both utilities. In recent years, annual water rate increases have been less than 3 percent, and wastewater rate increases have declined from double-digit levels down to 2.5 percent. Current financial plan models estimate annual water and wastewater rate increases can be limited to 3 percent per year through FY 19-20. Proposed water and wastewater rate schedules presented in this report reflect an overall 2.5 percent increase in the level of water rate revenue in the upcoming year (effective in January 2014) and no more than 3 percent in the level of the wastewater rate revenue (effective in July 2014). Beyond that, it is recommended that the City re -adopt provisions to annually adjust water and wastewater rate increases by changes in the Engineering News Record's 20 -Cities Construction Cost Index (ENR) for up to five years, subject to a 3 percent cap. These annual rate adjustments would also be subject to annual review by staff to confirm need and concurrence by the City Council. PROPOSED WATER RATES Proposed flat (unmetered) water rates are presented in Exhibit I-1, and proposed usage -based (metered) water rates are presented in Exhibit I-2. Both of these rate schedules reflect a 2.5 percent overall rate increase in January 2014 (based on previously approved indexing using the ENR), and 3.0 percent increases each January from 2015 through 2019 (reflecting the maximum allowed under the proposed indexing criteria). As the City will be phasing out the flat water rates as the meter retrofit program winds down, no changes to the structure of the flat rates are proposed. Proposed usage -based water rates include a gradual, three-year transition in the structure. At present, the volumetric water rate for multi -family and non-residential accounts is equal to the first tier rate for single family customers. Under the proposed rates the uniform multi -family and non-residential rate will equal the weighted average across the single family tier structure, thereby bringing better balance across the various customer classes. In addition, monthly service charges should be adjusted to better reflect the capacity relationship across meter sizes, and thereby improve equity between large and small customers. Both of these changes are intended to better align the water rates with cost of service principles, as required by Proposition 218. Exhibit I-2 includes the three years of phased rate structure changes in the rate schedules for 2014, 2015, and 2016. The 2014 schedule reflects the 2.5 percent overall annual rate revenue increase relative to current rates (with some rate components increasing and others decreasing each year), and the 2015 and 2016 schedules reflect the maximum indexing of 3.0 percent in each of those years. These transitional rate structures would be subject to downward adjustments in both 2015 and 2016 if the City Council determines that smaller increases are needed in those years. Details of water rate recommendations are presented in Section II of this report. THE REED GROUP, INC.

(4) These rate schedules reflect the second and third year of the 3 -year rate structure phasing, as well as the maximum potential rate adjustment due to ENR indexing. CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY PROPOSED WASTEWATER RATES Proposed flat (unmetered) wastewater rates are presented in Exhibit I-3, and proposed usage -based (metered) wastewater rates are presented in Exhibit I-4. Both of these rate schedules reflect 3.0 percent increases each July from 2014 through 2018 (reflecting the maximum allowed under the proposed indexing criteria). Similar to flat water rates, no changes to the structure of flat wastewater rates are proposed, as they will be phased out in upcoming years. In 2010, the City developed usage -based wastewater rates for single family customers. In July 2012, the City transitioned about 2,940 single family customers to the usage -based wastewater rates, expects to transition an additional 3,700 in July 2014, and will continue each year with more. However, usage -based wastewater rates for other customer classes are not currently available. The usage -based wastewater rates proposed herein include fixed monthly service charges and volumetric rates for all customer classes. While the rate schedule includes usage -based rates for non-residential uses, the City plans to focus on transitioning single family and multi -family residential customer to usage -based rates, and then transition non-residential customers. Rate structure transition issues are discussed in greater in Section III of this report. Additional refinements to the rate structure will be required as the City gains data and experience with the usage -based rates, as well as categorizes non-residential customers into appropriate strength classifications. Details of wastewater rate recommendations are presented in Section III of this report. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENTS TO WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES Government Code Section 53756 authorizes the City to adopt a mechanism for adjusting water and wastewater rates to offset the affects of inflation for up to five years. Consistent with past practices, it is recommended that, in approving the proposed rates, the City also approve annual adjustments to water rates beginning in January 2015 and to wastewater rates beginning in July 2014 by the annual change in the Engineering News Record's 20 -Cities Construction Cost Index (ENR), subject to a 3 percent annual cap. These annual rate adjustments would also be subject to annual review by staff to confirm need and concurrence by the City Council. In accordance with Section 53756, customers should be informed of the changes in the rate schedules at least 30 days prior to their implementation. This can be achieved through a bill insert, or other means. Water and wastewater rate schedules presented in Exhibits 1-1 through I-4 reflect the maximum 3.0 percent potential adjustment to the rates each year (January 2015 through January 2019 for water rates and July 2014 through July 2018 for wastewater). These schedules, therefore, reflect the "ceiling' for the rates at any time during this five-year period. Actual annual rate adjustments would be based on the actual change in the ENR index (subject to a 3.0 percent cap), financial need, and concurrence by the City Council. As the City continues to transition customers from flat water and wastewater rates to usage -based rates there is some uncertainty as to the affect it may have on revenues. Therefore, it is important for the City to continue to monitor water usage characteristics and rate revenues for both utilities on an annual basis. THE REED GROUP, INC.

CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY AFFECT OF PROPOSED RATES ON CUSTOMER BILLS Flat water rates are proposed to increase by 2.5 percent in January 2014 and flat wastewater rates are proposed be adjusted by no more than 3 percent in July 2014 to meet anticipated revenue needs of the utilities. No structural changes are proposed for flat rates. Customers subject to flat rates will therefore see a 2.5 percent change in their monthly water bills, and no more than a 3 percent change in their monthly wastewater bills. Rate structure changes are proposed for usage -based water rates, which will result in smaller or larger changes in bill amounts for affected customers. In general, single family residential customers will benefit from the change, and non-residential customers will, in most but not all cases, see bill increases in excess of 2.5 percent. The proposed rate structure changes, as described in Section II of this report, are intended to improve the equity between the customer classes in the charges for water service. Multi -family customers, including mobile homes parks, will soon begin to be transitioned to usage -based rates. While usage -based billing may result in the City shifting billing from tenants to property owners, the total charges for water service within most apartment complexes and mobile home parks, as well as duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, are likely to be significantly lower if billed to property owners with usage - based rates compared with cumulative flat rate billing to the tenants. With the exception of the transitioning single family residential customers from flat wastewater rates to usage -based wastewater rates, other wastewater customers will continue to be billed on flat rates until at least July 2015. Usage -based wastewater rates are based on winter water usage for each account, and non-residential customers will be assigned to low, medium, or high strength categories, depending on the type of business. When the transition does occur, multi -family residential customers will likely benefit from usage -based rates. Additional analysis is required to assess the potential implications of usage -based rates for non-residential customers, and further refinements to wastewater rates will be required in the years ahead as more data and analyses become available. Exhibit I-5 summarizes the affect of proposed water rates (effective January 2014) and proposed wastewater rates (effective July 2014) on monthly bills for a sampling of residential customers. Both flat rates and usage -based rate examples are presented, as well as changes in combined water and wastewater bills. Exhibit I-6 summarizes the affect of proposed water rates (effective January 2014) and proposed wastewater rates (effective July 2014) on average monthly bills for a sampling of non-residential customers. In all cases, non-residential customers shown are subject to usage -based water rates and flat wastewater rates during this period. Bill water amounts under proposed rates in Exhibits I-5 and I-6 reflect both the 2.5 percent overall rate increase, as well as the first step in the rate restructuring for usage based water rates. Additional details on the water and wastewater rates and related analyses are presented in Sections II and III, respectively, of this report. THE REED GROUP, INC.

PAGE 10 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY SECTION II. WATER RATES This section of the report describes water rate recommendations for the City's water utility. The City's multi-year financial plan was used to determine annual water rate revenue requirements, and to develop the strategy for meeting current and future financial obligations. The annual rate revenue requirement is the amount of revenue needed from water rates to cover estimated operating, maintenance, debt service, and capital program costs with consideration of other revenues and financial reserves. Water rate recommendations are also intended to assist the City in the transition to a fully metered water system and universal usage -based water rates. Rate structure changes are intended to improve equity across customer classes by better reflecting the cost of providing service. CURRENT WATER RATES The City's current water rates are summarized in Exhibit II -1. Water rates were last adjusted in January 2013 with a 2.5 percent across-the-board increase based on changes in the Engineering New Record's 20 -Cities Construction Cost Index (ENR). This index is used by the City to annually adjust the level of water and wastewater rates.

THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 11 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY Residential flat rates are based on the number of bedrooms in each dwelling, and are based on water usage estimates made prior to the availability of water usage data. All flat rates will be phased out as the installation of water meters is completed. Water usage rates include a fixed monthly service charge, based on size of the water meter, and volumetric charges based on a customer's actual water usage. Single family customers are subject to a three-tier rate structure, which includes a lower initial rate intended for non -discretionary uses of water and higher rates for discretionary uses intended to provide an incentive to conserve water. Multi -family and non-residential customers are subject to a uniform water usage rate. At present, tenants of multi -family apartments and mobile home parks are billed for water and wastewater services. As water meters are installed for apartment complexes and mobile home parks the billing for these services may be transferred from tenants to property owners. CUSTOMER BASE AND WATER USAGE DATA The water utility's customer base is predominately comprised of single family and multi -family residential customers, along with commercial, industrial, and municipal customers. Some non-residential customers, including food-processing facilities, use very large quantities of water. Because the City is not entirely metered total water usage must be estimated. Exhibit II -2 summarizes customer account and water usage estimates derived from the City's utility billing system for 2012. With residential accounts expressed as the number of dwelling units, the water utility customer base is nearly 23,600 accounts and estimated annual water usage is about 16,233 acre-feet (AF). Single family accounts represent 70 percent of the customers and 58 percent of the water usage. Multi- family accounts represent 24 percent of the customers and 14 percent of the water usage. Non-residential accounts comprise about 6 percent of the customer base, and also represent about 27 percent of annual water usage. The City's largest water users include several industrial customers (primarily food-processing), as well as the City of Lodi, and the Lodi Unified School District. By January 2014, more than one-half of the City's single family residential customers will be on usage -based water rates, with two- to three -thousand single family customers transitioning to usage -based rates each year. All single family customers are expected to be transitioned to usage -based water rates by 2019. The installation of water meters for all customers is expected to be completed by 2018. About 75 percent of non-residential customers are metered and have been on usage -based water rates. The City plans to transition mobile home parks to usage -based rate in 2014, the remaining non-residential accounts by 2017, and multi -family accounts by 2020. THE REED GROUP, INC.

(2) Total customer accounts equals 23,596. Residential accounts expressed in dwelling units. (3) Total estimated annual water usage equals 16,233 acre-feet (AF). ANNUAL WATER REVENUE RATE REQUIREMENT The City has updated its multi-year financial model with actual revenues and expenses (pre -audit) for FY 12-13 and the approved budget for FY 13-14. Based on that model, the City estimates an annual water rate increase of 2.5 percent in January 2014 followed by annual water rate increases of no more than 3 percent per year thereafter. These rate increases are believed to be sufficient to meet the utility's operating and maintenance costs, debt service obligations, and capital program needs through FY 19-20. The City adjusts its water rates in January of each year based on the annual change in the ENR, subject to a 3.0 percent cap and concurrence by the City Council. Based on the current ENR and staff's analysis of financial need, the rate analyses presented herein are based on a 2.5 percent increase effective in January 2014. This is consistent with the City's updated financial plan model. The City anticipates approximately 2,350 additional single family residential customers will be converted to usage -based rates in January 2014. With that shift, and an overall 2.5 percent rate increase, water rate revenues from flat and usage based customers is estimated to be $12,931,000, as summarized below Flat rate revenue $5,781,000 Usage -based rate revenue $7,150,000 Total 2014 water rate revenue $12,931,000 No changes are proposed to the City's flat water rate structure. Therefore, a 2.5 percent rate increase will mean a 2.5 percent increase to all flat water rates. With a transition of approximately 2,350 additional single family customers to water meters in January 2014 THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 13 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY the water utility will be billing nearly 8,400 customer accounts through usage -based water rates. The annual water rate revenue requirement for the City's usage -based water rates will be $7,150,000 for 2014, with this increased portion of the customer base on usage -based rates. This is the revenue requirement used for the calculation of usage -based water rates. COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS AND RATE DESIGN The annual water rate revenue requirement of $12,931,000 for 2014 has been split between flat and usage -based rates based on the number of accounts and water use characteristics of the customer base within each group. The cost of service analysis for each group is separately presented below. Flat Rate Cost of Service Analysis As the City will be phasing out the system of flat water rates in the next few years, no changes to the rate structure are proposed. The City's flat rates are based on the number of bedrooms in each single family and multi -family dwelling unit. Non-residential flat rate accounts have each been assigned a unique single family equivalency factor, based on estimated usage characteristics, relative to single family homes. Exhibit II -3 summarizes the distribution of the 2014 revenue requirement for flat rate accounts of various customer types, and shows the calculation of the monthly flat water rates. Monthly flat water rates are proposed to increase by 2.5 percent in January 2014. Usage -Based Rate Cost of Service Analysis A more detailed cost of service analysis was prepared for the City's usage -based water rates. The analysis was based on the number and type of customers that will be subject to these rates in 2014. Once the 2014 usage -based revenue requirement of $7,150,000 was determined, the next step in the rate setting process is to evaluate the cost of providing service. Water rate calculations contained herein are intended to generate the level of revenue commensurate with the revenue requirement for usage -based customers. The manner in which each customer is responsible for the water utility's costs is the subject of the cost of service analysis. The water utility incurs certain types of costs associated with making water service available to customers. Other costs are incurred as a direct result of customer water usage. The cost of service analysis is intended to allocate the costs of providing water service to customers in proportion to customers' water demands and service requirements. There are many approaches to cost of service analysis; some are more complex than others. The approach used herein is commensurate with the data available, the distinctions currently made between various types of customers, and the requirement to fairly and to reasonably reflect the differences in service provisions to different customers.

(2) From existing flat water rate structure. (3) Based on one single family equivalent equal to a 2 -bedroom home. (4) All non-residential flat rates increase by 2.5 percent. The cost allocation methodology used herein begins by assigning all costs to one of three categories. The cost allocation process considers the level of detail available in the City's financial structure, as well as professional judgment and experience. The three categories include: • Customer costs, such as meter reading, billing, and customer service, are fixed costs that tend to vary as a function of the number of customer being served. Customer costs are allocated to customers based on the number of accounts. That is, every customer will pay an equal share of customer -related costs. • Capacity costs are also fixed costs, however, these tend to vary in relation to the capacity of the water system. Customers that place (or can place) a greater or lesser burden on the capacity of the water system should bear greater or lesser shares of these costs. The sizing of the water system is based on the potential demand that each customer could place on the water system. Capacity costs are allocated to customers based on the size (hydraulic capacity) of the water meter. The hydraulic capacity reflects the potential demand that a customer could place on the water system at any given time. A customer with a large meter will be assigned a larger share of fixed capacity -related costs than one with a small meter. Capacity costs include costs associated with the water system's capacity including contributions to the capital program, debt service, maintenance costs, etc. THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 15 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY • Commodity costs are variable costs that vary with the amount of actual water use. Water purchases, energy costs, and chemical costs are primary examples. However, because certain fixed costs are reasonably assigned to customers on the basis of usage (e.g., water treatment staff -related costs), some fixed costs are frequently included in the commodity component. Recovering a portion of fixed costs on the basis of actual water usage has the added benefit for increasing the water conservation incentive reflected in the water rates. The water conservation best management practice for water rates (BMP 1.4), as promulgated by the California Urban Water Conservation Council (CUWCC) specifies that at least 70 percent of water rate revenue be generated through water usage charges. While the City is not subject to the CUWCC's requirements, such an approach also provides customers with added ability to affect the amount of their water bill by managing water usage. The allocation of costs, as well as the resulting rate calculations, reflects a balanced approach to considering different rate -setting objectives. Based on a review of water system financial information, the cost allocation resulted in a distribution of the costs to customer, capacity, and commodity components of 5 percent, 40 percent, and 55 percent, respectively. Exhibit II4 shows how the usage -based revenue requirement is allocated to cost components, as well as the resulting determination of water rates. Usage -based water rates include a fixed monthly service charge, to recover customer and capacity costs, and water usage rates, to recover commodity costs. The monthly service charges are calculated by allocating customer costs equally across all customer accounts and by allocating capacity related costs in proportion to meter capacity. As a result, monthly service charges increase with increasing meter sizes. While the current monthly service charges also vary with meter size the variation across meter sizes does not fully reflect the capacity relationship across meter sizes. With the correct capacity factors applied monthly service charges for the smaller meter sizes decrease while the charges for larger meters increase. The increase is greatest for the largest meter sizes but is, nevertheless, consistent with cost of service principles and the capacity relationship. The City's water rate structure includes a uniform water usage rate for multi -family and non-residential customers. The uniform water rate is calculated simply by dividing the commodity costs by the total water sales volume. In 2009, the City implemented a three-tier water rate structure for single family customers. The tier structure provides a lower cost for initial water usage, estimated to reflect indoor water needs that tend to be non -discretionary, and higher costs for more discretionary uses of water. It also serves as a water conservation incentive. The City obtains its water supply from both groundwater and surface water purchased from the Woodbridge Irrigation District. The first tier rate generally reflects the cost of groundwater production (as well as other commodity costs recovered through the usage rates), and the third tier rate generally reflects the cost of purchasing and treating surface water (as well as other commodity costs recovered through the usage rates).

Equity is improved between the single family, multi -family, and non-residential usage rates with the proposed rates because the weighted average rate across the three single family tiers equals the uniform rate applicable to multi -family and non-residential accounts. PROPOSED WATER RATE SCHEDULES Current and proposed water rate schedules for both flat rates and usage -based rates are presented in Exhibits II -5 and II -6, respectively. All rates reflect an overall 2.5 percent revenue increase relative to the current water rates. However, due to the changes in the usage -based rate structure the change in customer water bills will vary, and will be a function of customer class, meter size, and monthly water usage, as previously presented in the section Usage -Based Rate Cost of Service Analysis (above). Illustrative examples of customer bill impacts are included in Exhibits I-5 and I-6, earlier in the report.

Three -Year Transition for Usage -Based Rates The proposed modifications to the usage -based water rate structure include changes that may impact some non-residential customers (those with large meters and/or high water usage) more dramatically than other customers. This is due to both the increased monthly service charges for larger meter sizes, as well as the necessary increase in the uniform water rate to bring it up from the single family first tier rate to the weighted average across all tiers. (At present, nearly all multi -family accounts still pay for water service under flat rates; therefore they will not directly be affected by the changes in the usage -based rate structure.) To ease the potential affects of the proposed new water rate structure, it is recommended that the usage -based rate structure be phased in over a three-year period.

Three -Year Transition for Usage -Based Rates The proposed modifications to the usage -based water rate structure include changes that may impact some non-residential customers (those with large meters and/or high water usage) more dramatically than other customers. This is due to both the increased monthly service charges for larger meter sizes, as well as the necessary increase in the uniform water rate to bring it up from the single family first tier rate to the weighted average across all tiers. (At present, nearly all multi -family accounts still pay for water service under flat rates; therefore they will not directly be affected by the changes in the usage -based rate structure.) To ease the potential affects of the proposed new water rate structure, it is recommended that the usage -based rate structure be phased in over a three-year period. The rate schedule presented in Exhibit II -6 illustrates the transition. The rate schedules for THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 19 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY all three years are revenue neutral to each other (and reflect an overall 2.5 percent revenue increase over the current rates). Therefore, in both 2015 and 2016 the rate schedules will need to be adjusted to incorporate the inflationary adjustments to the rates, based on changes in the ENR. The usage -based water rate schedule presented in Exhibit I-2 reflect the proposed rate structure phased implementation, as well as reflecting the maximum potential rate adjustment of 3.0 percent per year, based on ENR indexing criteria. METER INSTALLATION AND TRANSITION TO USAGE -BASED BILLING The City continues to install water meters on all unmetered water service connections. Below is a summary of the status of the metering program and plans to transition customers from flat water rates to usage -based water rates. Each January an additional batch of customers is transitioned to usage -based rates. • Single Family - More than 50 percent of single family homes now have water meters with two- to three -thousand additional meters installed each year. The transition to usage -based rates is expected to be completed by January 2019. • Mobile Home Parks - All mobile home parks have now been provided with master water meters on the connections serving each park. The City plans to convert all mobile home parks to usage -based water rates in the near future. • Multi -Family - The City is currently installing water meters for apartment and condominium complexes, and plans to complete these installations by 2018. All multi -family accounts (including duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes) are expected to transition to usage -based water rates in January 2020. Similar to mobile home parks, at that time, billing may also shift from tenant to property owner. • Non -Residential - At present, about 75 percent of non-residential accounts have water meters and are subject to usage -based water rates. Remaining unmetered accounts will be metered in the next few years, and the City expects to implement usage -based rates on these accounts by January 2017. Non- residential accounts include commercial, industrial, institutional, and dedicated irrigation account types. The transition from flat rates to usage -based rates may affect the total amount of customers' water bills. Monthly bills may be higher in the summer during the irrigation season, and lower in winter months when water demand is lower. For single family customers many will have a decrease in their annual water cost with the transition to usage -based rates, while others will have an overall increase. Multi -family customers will generally benefit from the transition to usage -based water rates. As noted previously non- residential customers may have larger water bills with the proposed rates. THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 20 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY SECTION III: WASTEWATER RATES This section of the report describes wastewater rate recommendations for the City's wastewater utility. The City's multi-year financial plan was used to determine annual wastewater rate revenue requirements, and to develop the strategy for meeting current and future financial obligations. The annual rate revenue requirement is the amount of revenue needed from wastewater rates to cover estimated operating, maintenance, debt service, and capital program costs with consideration of other revenues and financial reserves. Wastewater rate recommendations are also intended to assist the City in the transition to a fully metered water system and usage -based wastewater rates. Rate structure changes are intended to improve equity across customer classes by better reflecting the cost of providing service. CURRENT WASTEWATER RATES The City's current wastewater rates are summarized in Exhibit III -1. Wastewater rates were last adjusted in July 2013 with a 2.5 percent across-the-board increase based on changes in he Engineering New Record's 20 -Cities Construction Cost Index (ENR). This index is used by the City to annually adjust the level of water and wastewater rates. Residential flat rates are based on the number of bedrooms in each dwelling, and were based on estimated sewer flows made prior to the availability of water usage data. Non- residential wastewater rates are based on the number of sanitary sewer units (SSUs) for each account, as determined by City staff. One SSU is equivalent to a two-bedroom single family home. All flat wastewater rates will be phased out as the installation of water meters is completed. Wastewater usage -based rates are currently available for single family customers. They include a fixed monthly service charge for each dwelling unit, and a usage charge based on a customer's winter water usage. Winter water usage is used for sewer flow estimation since irrigation usage is minimized during this time period. The City uses the average monthly water usage from December through February for determining the average winter water use, and hence estimated monthly sewer flow. The City has a small number of large industrial customers (primarily food processing). Each of these customers pays for wastewater service based on actual wastewater flows and loading characteristics. Industrial rates for users discharging into the City's domestic sewer collection system are included in Exhibit III -1. Separate (lower) rates apply to the few industrial users that discharge into the industrial line, which requires less treatment. Those rates are outside of the scope of this study. At present, tenants of multi -family apartments and mobile home parks are individually billed for water and wastewater services. As water meters are installed for apartment complexes and mobile home parks the billing for these services may be transferred from tenants to property owners. THE REED GROUP, INC.

(4) Annual charges apply to industrial users discharging into the domestic sanitary sewer system. Separate charges apply to discharges to the industrial line. CUSTOMER BASE AND WASTEWATER FLOW ESTIMATES Like the water utility, the wastewater utility's customer base is predominately comprised of single family and multi -family residential customers, along with commercial, industrial, and municipal customers. Some non-residential customers, including food- processing facilities, generate very large quantities of wastewater. Because the City is not entirely metered water usage and sewer flows must be estimated. It is fairly common to use winter water usage data to estimate wastewater flows. During the winter irrigation water use (which does not enter the wastewater system) is minimized. Exhibit III -2 summarizes customer account and wastewater flow estimates derived from the City's utility billing system for 2012. With residential accounts expressed as the number of dwelling units, the wastewater utility customer base is about 23,600 accounts and estimated annual wastewater flow is about 1,184 million gallons (MG). Single family accounts represent 70 percent of the customers and 62 percent of the wastewater flow. Multi -family accounts represent 22 percent of the customers and 12 percent of the wastewater flow. Non-residential accounts, including commercial, industrial, and THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 22 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY institutional, comprise about 8 percent of the customer base, and also represent about 23 percent of annual wastewater. There are eight large industrial customers (discharging to the domestic system), and they generate about 3 percent of the annual wastewater flow. The City's largest wastewater users include several of the industrial customers (primarily food-processing), as well as the City of Lodi, and the Lodi Unified School District.

(2) Total customer accounts equals 23,614. Residential accounts expressed in dwelling units. (3) Total estimated annual wastewater flow equals 1,908 million gallons (MG). In July 2012 the City moved an initial batch of single family residential customers (about 2,940) to usage -based wastewater rates, as a pilot test of those wastewater rates. Additional single family customers will be transitioned beginning in July 2014, with an additional batch each July until all have been transitioned. By July 2020, all of the City's single family residential customers will be on usage -based wastewater rates. The transition of multi -family and non-residential wastewater customers to usage -based wastewater rates will lag the transition to usage -based water rates. In the near term, the focus will be on mobile home parks and school accounts. Non-residential customers will need to be categorized into strength classifications (as described later in this section) before the transition can be made. ANNUAL WASTEWATER REVENUE RATE REQUIREMENT The City updated its multi-year financial model with actual revenues and expenses (pre -audit) for FY 12-13 and the approved budget for FY 13-14. Based on that model, the City estimates annual wastewater rate increases of up to 3 percent per year may be required. These increases are believed to be sufficient to meet the utility's operating and maintenance costs, debt service obligations, and capital program needs through FY 19-20. THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 23 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY The City adjusts its wastewater rates in July of each year, and the rate analyses presented herein are based on a 3 percent increase effective in July 2014. This is consistent with the City's financial plan model. The actual rate increase will be based on the change in the ENR, but will be no more than 3 percent. The City anticipates an additional 3,700 single family residential customers will be converted to usage -based rates in July 2014. With that shift, and an overall 3 percent rate increase, water rate revenues from flat and usage based customers is estimated to be $14,570,000, as summarized below Flat rate revenue $9,751,000 Usage -based rate revenue $4,461,000 Industrial line rate revenue $358,000 Total 2014 water rate revenue $14,570,000 No changes are proposed to the City's flat wastewater rate structure. Therefore, a 3 percent rate increase will mean a 3 percent increase to all flat wastewater rates. With a transition of approximately 3,700 additional single family customers to usage -based rates in July 2014 the wastewater utility will be billing nearly 6,650 customer accounts through usage -based rates. The annual wastewater rate revenue requirement for the City's usage - based wastewater rates will be $4,461,000 for FY 14-15, with this growing portion of the single family residential customer base on usage -based rates. This $4,461,000 includes $937,000 related to industrial users that discharge into the domestic collection system. Industrial users on the industrial line are subject to a separate treatment process, and different rates (outside of the scope of this study), and represent about $358,000 of the total FY 14-15 wastewater rate revenue requirement. COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS AND RATE DESIGN The annual wastewater rate revenue requirement of $14,570,000 for FY 14-15 has been split between flat rates, usage -based rates, and industrial charges based on the number of accounts and wastewater use characteristics of the customer base within each group. The cost of service analysis for each group is separately presented below. Flat Rate Cost of Service Analysis As the City will be phasing out the system of flat wastewater rates in the next several years, no changes to the rate structure are proposed. The City's flat rates are based on the number of bedrooms in each single family and multi -family dwelling unit. Non- residential flat rate accounts have each been assigned a unique sanitary sewer unit (SSU) factor, based on estimated usage characteristics, relative to a 2 -bedroom single family home. Exhibit III -3 summarizes the distribution of the FY 14-15 revenue requirement for flat rate accounts of various customer types, and shows the calculation of the monthly flat wastewater rates with a 3 percent increase. Monthly flat water rates are proposed to increase by no more than 3 percent in July 2014, with the actual adjustment dependent on the annual change in the ENR, with a 3 percent cap.

Usage -Based Rate Cost of Service Analysis A more detailed cost of service analysis is warranted for the City's usage -based wastewater rates. However, the City does not yet have sufficient information for the complete development of wastewater rates that consider wastewater flow as well as different strength categories for various types of non-residential customers. The following steps will need to be taken in order for fully develop these wastewater rates: • All non-residential customers should be assigned to a low, medium, or high strength category based on type of business. City staff and consultant plan to work on this jointly in 2014 using industry guidelines for assigning different types of businesses. It is estimated that about 80 percent of non-residential users will fall into a low strength category, 15 percent into medium strength, and 5 percent into high strength. • The size of water meters should be identified (or estimated) for all multi -family and non-residential accounts. At present, about 75 percent of non-residential accounts are metered. The City will begin metering multi -family accounts and the remaining non-residential accounts in a few years. Estimates of future meter sizes would be adequate to move forward with rate analyses. THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 25 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY • Estimate wastewater flow from each customer class based on winter water usage data. Data is now becoming available for single family customers, and is available for most non-residential accounts (those with water meters), but not for multi -family customers or about one-quarter of non-residential customers. Once a significant portion of multi -family customers have been metered it may be possible to develop reasonable estimates for this customer class. It may also be possible to extrapolate water usage data from existing metered non- residential accounts to those that are unmetered, though some uncertainty would remain because of the non-homogenous nature of non-residential water use. • Assign standard biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and suspended solids (SS) loading factors to residential and low, medium, and high strength non- residential customer categories. This would be accomplished using available industry guidelines, as well as through calculations that seek to balance calculated wastewater flow and loading data from wastewater customers with the actual inflow data at the City's White Slough wastewater treatment plant. Under current usage -based wastewater rates, all single family customers are subject to the same fixed monthly service charge, even if meters vary in size. This is due to the fact that variation in meter sizes for single family homes is due to either landscape irrigation requirements or fire flow capacity requirements within the home. It is not related to wastewater capacity needs. The independence from meter size does not extend to other customer classes, however, because demand characteristics (for both water and wastewater) are much more varied for each customer connection. The proposed usage -based wastewater rates for FY 14-15 extend the current usage - based rates applicable for single family customers to include fixed monthly service charges based on meter size that should be applied to multi -family and non-residential accounts. The wastewater usage rate for multi -family customers would be the same as that for single family customers. Placeholder estimates are also provided for non-residential low, medium, and high strength categories. Proposed industrial rates reflect a 3.0 percent overall increase in each rate component. The development of fixed monthly wastewater service charges for multi -family and non-residential accounts follows the same basic cost allocation methodology as for water rates. In this case, a review of wastewater costs resulted in a recommended allocation of the wastewater rate revenue requirement to customer, capacity, and commodity components. The allocation of costs, as well as the resulting rate calculations, reflects a balanced approach to considering different rate -setting objectives. Based on a review of wastewater system financial information, the cost allocation resulted in a distribution of the costs to customer, capacity, and commodity components of 5 percent, 45 percent, and 50 percent, respectively. Like the water rates, the monthly service charge will recover customer and capacity costs, and usage rates will recover commodity costs. Exhibit III4 summarizes the calculation of fixed monthly wastewater service charges based on size of the water meter. The monthly service charges are calculated by allocating customer costs equally across all customer accounts and by allocating capacity related costs in proportion to meter capacity.

(4) Sum of customer and capacity costs for each meter size. The City's wastewater rate structure currently includes a uniform wastewater usage rate for single family customers. For FY 14-15, that rate will be increased by up to 3.0 percent. The same rate would also apply to multi -family customers, as the strength characteristics (BOD and SS) for single family and multi -family customers are the same. Wastewater flows for single family customers are estimated based on the average monthly water use from December through February of each year. This average winter water use is a reasonable estimate of wastewater flow throughout the year, because it generally reflect water usage in the absence of irrigation demands. Each July, the City determines a wastewater usage charge based on the winter water use and the applicable wastewater usage rate. The monthly service charge is then added to the usage charge to arrive at the total wastewater bill. This bill amount then remains fixed until the following July, when the process is repeated with the then most recent winter water use data and current wastewater rates. Winter water use can be used to determine wastewater usage charges for multi -family and non-residential customers as well. One potential problem, however, could occur with businesses that have a seasonal component where winter water usage did not necessarily provide a reasonable estimate for wastewater flow throughout the year. It is recommended that the Director of Public Works be extended authority to adjust the wastewater flow volume (usage) for individual customers where this is a concern. THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 27 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY Wastewater utilities generally identify different strength -based usage charges for non- residential customers due to the variation in waste discharges. A fairly simple approach to strength -based rates, and one recommended for the City, is to establish low, medium, and high strength categories. All non-residential customers (with the exception of industrial customers) would be assigned to one of these categories, based on the type of business. A higher usage rate would be established for the higher strength categories, commensurate with the costs of removing BOD and SS for wastewater. Until non-residential customers can be assigned to a strength category, and additional meter size and water use data obtained, it is recommended that the City use "placeholder " estimates for strength -based wastewater rates for non-residential customers. These would give City staff, as well as customers, a sense for what future rates may be like under this rate approach. PROPOSED WASTEWATER RATE SCHEDULES Current and proposed wastewater rate schedules for both flat rates and usage -based rates are presented in Exhibits III -5 and III -6, respectively. All rates reflect an overall 3.0 percent revenue increase relative to the current wastewater rates.

An examination of winter water use data (excluding December due to the winter break), as well as consideration of THE REED GROUP, INC. PAGE 29 CITY OF LODI WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE UPDATE STUDY the overall level of activity at schools throughout the year (including reduced activity in summer months) resulted in a determination that all schools of the LUSD should be charged for wastewater service based on 18 students per SSU. While this change will affect the wastewater bills of all schools, it will have only a minor affect on the aggregate for all schools. METER INSTALLATION AND TRANSITION TO USAGE -BASED BILLING The City continues to install water meters on all unmetered water service connections. Below is a summary of the status of the metering program and plans to transition customers from flat wastewater rates to usage -based wastewater rates. Each July an additional batch of customers is transitioned to usage -based wastewater rates. • Single Family - More than 50 percent of single family homes now have water meters with two- to three -thousand additional meters installed each year. The transition to usage -based wastewater rates is lagging the transition to usage - based water rates by about 18 months. In July 2014, a second batch of single family customers will transition to usage -based water rates (about 3,700 accounts). The transition to usage -based wastewater rates for single family customers is expected to be completed by about July 2020. • Mobile Home Parks - All mobile home parks have now been provided with master water meters on the connections serving each park. The City plans to convert all mobile home parks to usage -based wastewater rates in the near future. • Multi -Family - The City will begin installing water meters for apartment and condominium complexes, and plans to complete these installations by 2018. All multi -family accounts (including duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes) are expected to transition to usage -based wastewater rates in July 2020. Similar to mobile home parks, at that time billing may shift from tenant to property owner. • Non -Residential - At present, about 75 percent of non-residential accounts have water meters and are subject to usage -based water rates. With the exception of industrial users, all non-residential customers currently pay flat wastewater rates. Further analysis will be needed to fully develop a strength and usage - based wastewater rate structure for non-residential accounts. It may be several years before these customers are fully transitioned to usage -based rates. The transition from flat rates to usage -based rates may affect the total amount of customers' wastewater bills. For single family customers many will have a decrease in their monthly wastewater bill with that transition, while others may have an increase. Multi -family customers will generally benefit from the transition to usage -based wastewater rates. It is too early to tell how individual non-residential customers may be affected by the transition. THE REED GROUP, INC.

Executed on March 6, 2014, at Lodi, California. 13 = ME N:\Administration\CLERK\Fonns\DECPOSTPW.DOC ORDERED BY: RANDI JOHL-OLSON CITY CLERK MARIA DITMORE ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK Proposition 218 Notification and Protest Hearing Process Summary: The Lodi City Council will consider proposed future water, wastewater and contracted solid waste rate increases at a public hearing at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at the Carnegie Forum, 305 West Pine Street, Lodi. A majority protest would stop the proposed future increases. If you wish to protest the proposed increases written protests may be made in person at the hearing or delivered to: City of Lodi Attention: City Clerk 221 West Pine Street Post Office Box 3006 Lodi, California 95241-1910 If you already filed a protest prior to the continuance of the December 18, 2013 hearing on this Notice, your prior protest will be counted. Explanation of Protest Process Proposition 218 requires that the City provide a notice of the proposed future rate schedule to all property owners forty-five (45) days prior to holding a public hearing. If a majority of the property owners or renters who pay the utility bill file oppositions to the increase, the increase will not take effect. A protest must contain a description of the property owned sufficient to identify the property. The address or assessor's parcel number is shown on this mailing. If the name on the written protest is not shown on the last equalized assessment roll of San Joaquin County as the owner of the property or on the utility account, the signer of the protest must also submit written evidence of ownership or rentership and utility bill responsibility. At the public hearing, Council shall hear all protests and tabulate the ballots. One written protest per parcel, filed by the owner or tenant (paying the utility bill) of the parcel shall be counted in calculating a majority protest to a proposed new fee or charge subject to the requirements of Section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution. If the votes conflict, the City will count the no vote. Explanation of Proposed Future Increases: City Staff is requesting that the City Council pre -authorize inflationary based adjustments in an amount up to the lesser of three percent (3%) or the actual amount of inflation for the next five years to pay for anticipated inflationary based cost increases. Water rates will be increased by up to their applicable index each January 1, from 2015 through 2019 and wastewater rates each July 1, from 2014 through 2019. In addition staff is requesting that Council make a small adjustment to rates to more equitably distribute costs among its various classes of rate payers. Currently, metered single family residential customers pay for water on a tiered system. The more a customer uses, the more they pay per gallon. However, multi -family (condominiums/duplexes), commercial and industrial customers pay for all their water at the first tier rate. This rate restructuring would effectively lower costs for single family metered customers and increase rates for multi -family, commercial and industrial customers to achieve better equity between these customer classes. Net rate revenues will remain unchanged. The City of Lodi proposes to increase all water and wastewater rates by an amount up to the percentage increase in the annual average of the Engineering News Record (20 cities average) Index ("ENR"), as of September 30 (water) and March 31 (wastewater) of each year from 2014 through 2018. The City of Lodi also proposes to increase contracted solid waste charges by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for San Francisco -San Jose California Area All Items (1982-84=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ("CPI") as of December 31 of each year from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2018. The water and wastewater increases shall not exceed three percent (3%) per year. The ENR and CPI based increases will be implemented as needed to pay for inflation -based increased costs of providing water, wastewater and contracted solid waste services. The City also proposes to institute new rates for installation of meters over 3/a of an inch as set forth in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit A Meter Charge Schedule; establish a new vacant unit rate as set forth in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit B Vacant Unit Rate; approve new flat rate water and wastewater rates as set forth in the attached rate tables entitled Exhibit C Current and Proposed Flat Water Rates and Flat Wastewater Rates; and restructure rates for single-family residential, multi -family and non residential as further described in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit D Current and Proposed Usage Based Water Rates and Usage Based Wastewater Rates. The current commercial compactor rates for solid waste are shown in Exhibit E and will be adjusted for CPI changes as provided in the next paragraph. The rate restructuring, vacant unit rate and meter installation rate for meters exceeding % inch will take place on May 8, 2014. Basis of Proposed Rate Calculation The new ENR and CPI based rates will be calculated by increasing the then existing rate in each of five years starting in 2014 by the prior year's increase in the ENR or CPI but not to exceed 3 percent for water and wastewater. Staff's recommended rate for the meter installation over 3/a of an inch is calculated as the City's actual contracted cost to purchase the meter plus 55 percent to cover a portion of the installation cost and is presented in column 2 of the Exhibit A Meter Charge Schedule. The vacant rate is calculated as the monthly base charge for water or wastewater. The rate restructuring is calculated by increasing the single tier for multi -family and non-residential by the weighted average of the multiple tier rate and decreasing all of the single- family rates by the exact amount of the revenue that the increase to multi -family and non- residential is projected to generate. Conclusion: If you have any questions about this notice, please call the Public Works Department at (209) 333-6706 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Friday.

RANDI JOHL-OLSON, City Clerk City of Lodi Notificaci6n de Proposici6n 218 y proceso de audiencia de protesta Resumen: El Consejo de la ciudad de Lodi considerara los incrementos propuestos en las tarifas de agua, aguas residuales y desechos solidos contratados en una audiencia pitblica a las 7 PM, el midreoles 7 de mayo de 2014, en el Carnegie Forum, en el 305 West Pine Street, Lodi. Una protesta mayoritaria detendran los incrementos futuros propuestos. Si desea protestar por los incrementos se pueden hacer protestas por escrito en persona en la audiencia o las puede entregar en: Ciudad de Lodi Atenci6n: City Clerk 221 West Pine Street Post Office Box 3006 Lodi, California 95241-1910 Si ya present6 una protesta antes del aplazamiento de la audiencia del 18 de diciembre de 2013 por esta Notificaci6n, su protesta anterior sera contada. Explicaci6n del proceso de protesta La Proposici6n 218 requiere que la Ciudad proporcione una notificaci6n del programa de tarifas futuras propuestas a todos los duenos de propiedad cuarenta y cinco (45) dias antes de llevar a cabo la audiencia pizblica. Si la mayoria de los duenos de propiedad o renteros que pagan el recibo de servicios presentan oposiciones por el incremento, este no entrard en vigor. Una protesta debe contener una descripcion de la propiedad suficiente para identificar la misma. La direccion o numero de parcela del valuador se muestra en este correo. Si no se muestra el nombre en la protesta por escrito en la Ultima lista de tasaci6n ajustada del Condado de San Joaquin como dueno de la propiedad o en la cuenta de servicios, el firmante de la propuesta tambidn debe presentar evidencia por escrito de dicha propiedad o arrendamiento y su responsabilidad por el recibo de servicios. En la audiencia publica, el Consejo debera escuchar todas las propuestas y tabular los votos. Se debera contar una protesta por escrito por parcela, presentada por el propietario o inquilino (pagando el recibo de servicios) de la parcela para el calculo de una protesta mayoritaria por un cargo o tarifa nueva propuesta sujeto a los requerimientos de la Secci6n 6 del Articulo XIII D de la Constitucion de California. Si hay conflicto en los votos, la Ciudad to contara sin voto. Explicaci6n de los incrementos futuros propuestos: El personal de la Ciudad esta solicitando que el Consejo de la ciudad pre-autorice los ajustes basados en la inflacion por una cantidad que sea la menor de tres por Ciento (3%) o la cantidad real de la inflacion por los siguientes cinco anos para pagar los incrementos de costos anticipados basados en la inflacion. Las tarifas de agua se incrementaran hasta su indice aplicable cada 1 de enero, de 2015 a 2019 y las tarifas por aguas residuales cada 1 de julio, de 2014 a12019. Ademas, el personal solicita que el Consejo haga pequenos ajustes a las tarifas para distribuir los costos mas equitativamente entre sus diversas clases de pagadores de tarifa. Actualmente, los clientes residenciales unifamiliares con medidor pagan por agua con un sistema de niveles. Entre mas usa un cliente, mas paga por galdn. Sin embargo, los clientes de multifamiliares (condominios/d(iplex), comerciales a industriales pagan por toda su agua con tarifa de primer nivel. Esta reestructuraci6n de tarifas disminuira efectivamente los costos para los clientes unifamiliares con medidor a incrementara las tarifas para clientes multifamiliares, comerciales e industriales para lograr una mayor equidad entre las clases de clientes. Los ingresos netos por tarifas permaneceran sin cambio. La Ciudad de Lodi propone incrementar todas las tarifas de agua y aguas residuales por una cantidad de hasta el porcentaje de incremento en el promedio anual del Indice del Engineering New Record (`ENR") (promedio de 20 ciudades), al 30 de septiembre (agua) y 31 de marzo (aguas residuales) para cada ano del 2014 al 2018. La Ciudad de Lodi tambidn propone incrementar los cargos por desechos sblidos contratados por el cambio anual en el Indice de precios al consumidor Para todos los consumidores urbanos del area de San Francisco-San Jose California, todos los conceptos (1982-84=100) publicados por la Oficina de Estadisticas Laborales ("IPC") al 31 de diciembre de cada aflo del 31 de diciembre de 2014 al 31 de diciembre de 2018. Los incrementos en agua y aguas residuales no excedera del tres por ciento (30/6) por ano. Los incrementos basados en ENR e IPC seran implementados segun sea necesario para pagar los costos incrementados basados en la inflaci6n para proporcionar servicios de agua, aguas residuales y desechos sblidos contraidos. La Ciudad tambidn propone instituir nuevas tarifas para la instalaci6n de medidores de mas de 3/4 de pulgada como se establece en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada como Anexo A Programa de cargos por medidor; establecer una nueva tarifa de unidad vacante como se establece en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada como Anexo B Tarifa de unidad vacante; aprobar una nueva tarifa fij a Para agua y aguas residuales como se establece en las tablas de tarifas adjuntas tituladas Anexo C Tarifas de agua fijas y tarifas de aguas residuales fijas actuales y propuestas; y tarifas de reestructuraci6n para unifamiliares residenciales, multifamiliares y no residenciales como se describe en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada Anexo D Tarifas de agua y tarifas de aguas residuales basadas en use actuales y propuestas. Las tarifas de compactador comercial actuales se muestran en el Anexo E y se ajustaran segun los campos en el IPC como se indica en el siguiente parrafo. La tarifa de reestructuraci6n, la tarifa de unidad vacante y la tarifa de instalaci6n de medidor para medidores que exceden 3/4 de pulgada se aplicaran el 8 de mayo de 2014. Bases para el calculo de la tarifa propuesta Las nuevas tarifas basadas en el ENR y el IPC seran calculadas al incrementar la tarifa entonces existents en cada uno de los cinco anos a partir de 2014 por el incremento del ano anterior en el ENR o el IPC sin exceder el 3 por ciento para agua y aguas residuales. La tarifa recomendada por el personal para la instalaci6n de medidor de mas de 3/4 de pulgada se calcula segun el costo contratado actual de la Ciudad para comprar el medidor mas 55 por ciento para cubrir una porci6n de la instalaci6n y se presenta en la columna 2 del Anexo A Programa de cargos por medidor. La tarifa de vacantes se calcula en un cargo mensual por agua y aguas residuales. La tarifa de reestructuraci6n se calcula al incrementar el nivel unico para multifamiliar y no residencial segun el promedio ponderado de tarifas de multiple nivel y disminuyendo todas las tarifas de unifamiliares por la cantidad exacta de ingresos que el incremento en multifamiliares y no residenciales se proyecta que genre. Conclusion: Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre esta notificaci6n, hamar al Departamento de Obras Publicas al (209) 333-6706 entre 7:30 AM y 5:30 PM, de lunes a jueves y entre las 8:00 AM y las 5:00 PM los viernes.

BOX 3006 BOB JOHNSON LODI, CALIFORNIA 95241-1910 JOANNE L.

STEPHEN SCHWABAUER, City Attorney F. WALLY SANDELIN, Public Works Director This letter to our utility customers addresses some commonly questioned aspects of the Proposition 218 process relative to forecasted utility rate increases. One, the City's Proposition 218 notices will not result in any increase in utility rates. The Proposition 218 notice is a notice of proposed rate schedules and does not constitute a utility rate increase. It the case of water and wastewater rates, it sets a maximum limit of 3% for future rate increases, even if the inflationary index exceeds 3%. In the case of refuse rates, it sets a maximum limit equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Two, the City has acted transparently by regularly presenting at numerous public meetings the financial models for the water and wastewater utilities that contain specific information on the forecasted increases in costs for personnel, utilities, materials, supplies, and debt service and lists specific system improvement projects. As recently as October 15, 2013, this information was presented at the Shirtsleeve meeting and is available online at the City Council Agendas and Minutes site. Three, the financial models present the best information available that support the notion of continued modest increases in rates. Again, the Council will not be voting on April 16 to increase rates by 3% for each of the next five years. Each year, actual numbers from the prior year and budget numbers for the next year provide the facts to Council so a decision can be made as to whether there should be no rate increase or a modest increase. Four, the objective of the proposed rate schedules is to make it possible to offset inflationary increases in water and wastewater operating costs should that become necessary. The rate changes are not intended to fund capital projects. In the past, maximum permitted rate increases have not been implemented and, in fact, the average annual water rate increase has been 1.2% over the past six years. Five, the proposed rate schedules will not be used to pay for infrastructure required to serve the demands presented by new development. The development impact fee program requires new development to reimburse the City for past and future investments in water, wastewater, streets, police, fire and other infrastructure. In fact, if new development exceeds that forecasted in the financial models, this could partially offset recommended inflationary increases. Lastly, significant system improvements are planned that will, in the long term, significantly reduce expensive maintenance costs and evenly spread utility costs (rates) amongst our customers. These system improvements include the water and wastewater replacement program, water meter installation program, old water meter retrofit program, and system -wide well maintenance. And there are administration costs to run the utilities with much of those costs related to meeting State requirements for the operation of the wastewater treatment plant and the recently -completed water treatment plant.

STEPHEN SCHWABALIER, City Attorney F. WALLY SANDELIN, Public Works Director Esta carta para nuestros clientes de servicios trata algunos de los aspectos com6nmente cuestionados sobre el proceso de la Proposici6n 218 relativo a la predicci6n de incrementos en las tarifas de servicios. Uno, las notificaciones de la Proposici6n 218 de la ciudad no resultaran en ningun incremento de las tarifas de servicios. La notif[caci6n de la Proposici6n 218 es una notif[caci6n sobre el programa de tarifas propuesta y no constituye un incremento en las tarifas de servicios. En el caso de las tarifas por agua y aguas residuales, se tiene establecido un limite maximo de 3% para futuros incrementos en tarifas, incluso si el indice inflacionario excede el 3%. En el caso de tarifas de rechazo, se establece un limite maximo igual al cambio en el Indice de precios al consumidor (IPC). Dos, la Ciudad ha actuado de manera transparente al presentar regularmente en numerosas reuniones pOblicas los modelos f[nancieros de los servicios de agua y aguas residuales los cuales contienen informaci6n especif[ca sobe los incrementos pronosticados en cuanto a los costos de personal, servicios, materiales, suministros y servicios de deuda y enumera proyectos especif[cos de mejora en el sistema. Tan reciente como el 15 de octubre de 2013, esta informaci6n fue presentada en la reuni6n de Shirtsleeve y tambien esta disponible en linea en el sitio de Agenda y minutas del consejo municipal. Tres, los modelos f[nancieros presentan la mejor informaci6n disponible que apoya la noci6n de incrementos modestos continuos en las tarifas. De nuevo, el Consejo no votary el 16 de abril para el incremento de las tarifas en un 3% para cada uno de los siguientes cinco anos. Cada ano, los n6meros reales del ano anterior y los nomeros del presupuesto para el siguiente ano proporcionan los hechos para el Consejo de manera que se pueda tomar una decisi6n respecto a si no debe haber incremento en las tarifas o si debe haber un incremento modesto. EI objetivo del programa de tarifas propuesto es el de poder compensar los incrementos inflacionarios en los costos de operaci6n del agua y aguas residuales de ser estos necesarios. Los cambios en las tarifas no tienen el prop6sito de generar fondos para proyectos de inversi6n. En el pasado, los incrementos maximos permitidos a las tarifas no fueron implementado y, de hecho, la tarifa promedio anual por agua ha incrementado 1.2$ durante los tiltimos seis anos. Cinco, el programa de tarifas propuesto no sera usado para pagar por la infraestructura requerida para dar servicio a la demanda requerida por el nuevo desarrollo. EI programa de cuota de impacto del desarrollo requiere que el nuevo desarrollo reembolse a la Ciudad las inversion es pasadas y futuras en agua, aguas residuales, calles, policfa, incendio y demas infraestructuras. De hecho, si el nuevo desarrollo excede dicho pron6stico en los modelos financieros, esto podrfa compensar parcialmente los incrementos inflacionarios recomendados. Por ultimo, se planean significativas mejoras en el sistema que, a largo plazo, reduciran significativamente los caros costos de mantenimiento y distribuiran de manera equitativa los costos (tarifas) por servicios entre nuestros clientes. Estas mejoras en el sistema incluyen programa de reemplazo de agua y aguas residuales, programa de instalaci6n de medidores de agua, programa de reacondicionamiento de medidores antiguos de agua y mantenimiento de todo el sistema. Y hay costos administrativos para hacer funcionar los servicios con muchos de esos costos relacionados a cumplir con los requerimientos estatales por operaci6n de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales y la planta de tratamiento de agua recientemente terminada.

PS Form 3602-R (Page 4 of 4) Proposition 218 Notification and Protest Hearing Process Summary: The Lodi City Council will consider proposed future water, wastewater and contracted solid waste rate increases at a public hearing at 7:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 7, 2014, at the Carnegie Forum, 305 West Pine Street, Lodi. A majority protest would stop the proposed future increases. If you wish to protest the proposed increases written protests may be made in person at the hearing or delivered to: City of Lodi Attention: City Clerk 221 West Pine Street Post Office Box 3006 Lodi, California 95241-1910 If you already filed a protest prior to the continuance of the December 18, 2013 hearing on this Notice, your prior protest will be counted. Explanation of Protest Process Proposition 218 requires that the City provide a notice of the proposed future rate schedule to all property owners forty-five (45) days prior to holding a public hearing. If a majority of the property owners or renters who pay the utility bill file oppositions to the increase, the increase will not take effect. A protest must contain a description of the property owned sufficient to identify the property. The address or assessor's parcel number is shown on this mailing. If the name on the written protest is not shown on the last equalized assessment roll of San Joaquin County as the owner of the property or on the utility account, the signer of the protest must also submit written evidence of ownership or rentership and utility bill responsibility. At the public hearing, Council shall hear all protests and tabulate the ballots. One written protest per parcel, filed by the owner or tenant (paying the utility bill) of the parcel shall be counted in calculating a majority protest to a proposed new fee or charge subject to the requirements of Section 6 of Article XIII D of the California Constitution. If the votes conflict, the City will count the no vote. Explanation of Proposed Future Increases: City Staff is requesting that the City Council pre -authorize inflationary based adjustments in an amount up to the lesser of three percent (3%) or the actual amount of inflation for the next five years to pay for anticipated inflationary based cost increases. Water rates will be increased by up to their applicable index each January 1, from 2015 through 2019 and wastewater rates each July 1, from 2014 through 2019. In addition staff is requesting that Council make a small adjustment to rates to more equitably distribute costs among its various classes of rate payers. Currently, metered single family residential customers pay for water on a tiered system. The more a customer uses, the more they pay per gallon. However, multi -family (condominiums/duplexes), commercial and industrial customers pay for all their water at the first tier rate. This rate restructuring would effectively lower costs for single family metered customers and increase rates for multi -family, commercial and industrial customers to achieve better equity between these customer classes. Net rate revenues will remain unchanged. The City of Lodi proposes to increase all water and wastewater rates by an amount up to the percentage increase in the annual average of the Engineering News Record (20 cities average) Index ("ENR"), as of September 30 (water) and March 31 (wastewater) of each year from 2014 through 2018. The City of Lodi also proposes to increase contracted solid waste charges by the annual change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for San Francisco -San Jose California Area All Items (1982-84=100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ("CPI") as of December 31 of each year from December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2018. The water and wastewater increases shall not exceed three percent (3%) per year. The ENR and CPI based increases will be implemented as needed to pay for inflation -based increased costs of providing water, wastewater and contracted solid waste services. The City also proposes to institute new rates for installation of meters over 3/4 of an inch as set forth in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit A Meter Charge Schedule; establish a new vacant unit rate as set forth in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit B Vacant Unit Rate; approve new flat rate water and wastewater rates as set forth in the attached rate tables entitled Exhibit C Current and Proposed Flat Water Rates and Flat Wastewater Rates; and restructure rates for single-family residential, multi -family and non residential as further described in the attached rate table entitled Exhibit D Current and Proposed Usage Based Water Rates and Usage Based Wastewater Rates. The current commercial compactor rates for solid waste are shown in Exhibit E and will be adjusted for CPI changes as provided in the next paragraph. The rate restructuring, vacant unit rate and meter installation rate for meters exceeding % inch will take place on May 8, 2014. Basis of Proposed Rate Calculation The new ENR and CPI based rates will be calculated by increasing the then existing rate in each of five years starting in 2014 by the prior year's increase in the ENR or CPI but not to exceed 3 percent for water and wastewater. Staff's recommended rate for the meter installation over % of an inch is calculated as the City's actual contracted cost to purchase the meter plus 55 percent to cover a portion of the installation cost and is presented in column 2 of the Exhibit A Meter Charge Schedule. The vacant rate is calculated as the monthly base charge for water or wastewater. The rate restructuring is calculated by increasing the single tier for multi -family and non-residential by the weighted average of the multiple tier rate and decreasing all of the single- family rates by the exact amount of the revenue that the increase to multi -family and non- residential is projected to generate. Conclusion: If you have any questions about this notice, please call the Public Works Department at (209) 333-6706 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on Friday. City Hall is closed every other Friday. RANDI JOHL-OLSON, City Clerk City of Lodi Notificaci6n de Proposici6n 218 y proceso de audiencia de protesta Resumen: El Consejo de la ciudad de Lodi considerara los incrementos propuestos en las tarifas de agua, aguas residuales y desechos sdlidos contratados en una audiencia publica a las 7 PM, el miercoles 7 de mayo de 2014, en el Carnegie Forum, en el 305 West Pine Street, Lodi. Una protesta mayoritaria detendran los incrementos futuros propuestos. Si desea protestar por los incrementos se pueden hacer protestas por escrito en persona en la audiencia o las puede entregar en: Ciudad de Lodi Atenci6n: City Clerk 221 West Pine Street Post Office Box 3006 Lodi, California 95241-1910 Si ya present6 una protesta antes del aplazamiento de la audiencia del 18 de diciembre de 2013 por esta Notificacidn, su protesta anterior sera contada. Explicaci6n del proceso de protesta La Proposici6n 218 requiere que la Ciudad proporcione una notificaci6n del programa de tarifas futuras propuestas a todos los duenos de propiedad cuarenta y cinco (45) dias antes de llevar a cabo la audiencia publica. Si la mayoria de los duenos de propiedad o renteros que pagan el recibo de servicios presentan oposiciones por el incremento, este no entrara en vigor. Una protesta debe contener una descripcion de la propiedad suficiente para identificar la misma. La direccidn o numero de parcela del valuador se muestra en este correo. Si no se muestra el nombre en la protesta por escrito en la Ultima lista de tasaci6n ajustada del Condado de San Joaquin como dueno de la propiedad o en la cuenta de servicios, el firmante de la propuesta tambien debe presentar evidencia por escrito de dicha propiedad o arrendamiento y su responsabilidad por el recibo de servicios. En la audiencia publica, el Consejo debera escuchar todas las propuestas y tabular los votos. Se debera contar una protesta por escrito por parcela, presentada por el propietario o inquilino (pagando el recibo de servicios) de la parcela para el calculo de una protesta mayoritaria por un cargo o tarifa nueva propuesta sujeto a los requerimientos de la Secci6n 6 del Articulo XIII D de la Constituci6n de California. Si hay conflicto en los votos, la Ciudad to contara sin voto. Explicaci6n de los incrementos futuros propuestos: El personal de la Ciudad esta solicitando que el Consejo de la ciudad pre-autorice los ajustes basados en la inflaci6n por una cantidad que sea la menor de tres por ciento (3%) o la cantidad real de la inflaci6n por los siguientes cinco anos para pagar los incrementos de costos anticipados basados en la inflaci6n. Las tarifas de agua se incrementaran hasta su indice aplicable cada 1 de enero, de 2015 a 2019 y las tarifas por aguas residuales cada 1 de julio, de 2014 al 2019. Ademas, el personal solicita que el Consejo haga pequeflos ajustes a las tarifas para distribuir los costos mas equitativamente entre sus diversas clases de pagadores de tarifa. Actualmente, los clientes residenciales unifamiliares con medidor pagan por agua con un sistema de niveles. Entre mas usa un cliente, mas paga por gal6n. Sin embargo, los clientes de multifamiliares (condominios/duplex), comerciales e industriales pagan por toda su agua con tarifa de primer nivel. Esta reestructuraci6n de tarifas disminuira efectivamente los costos para los clientes unifamiliares con medidor e incrementara las tarifas para clientes multifamiliares, comerciales e industriales para lograr una mayor equidad entre las clases de clientes. Los ingresos netos por tarifas permanecerdn sin cambio. La Ciudad de Lodi propone incrementar todas las tarifas de agua y aguas residuales por una. cantidad de hasta el porcentaje de incremento en el promedio anual del Indice del Engineering New Record (`ENR") (promedio de 20 ciudades), al 30 de septiembre (agua) y 31 de marzo (aguas residuales) para cada ano del 2014 al 2018. La Ciudad de Lodi tambi6n propone incrementar los cargos por desechos s6lidos contratados por el cambio anual en el Indice de precios al consumidor para todos los consumidores urbanos del area de San Francisco -San Jose California, todos los conceptos (1982-84=100) publicados por la Oficina de Estadisticas Laborales ("IPC") al 31 de diciembre de cada ano del 31 de diciembre de 2014 al 31 de diciembre de 2018. Los incrementos en agua y aguas residuales no excederd del tres por ciento (3%) por ano. Los incrementos basados en ENR e IPC serdn implementados segun sea necesario para pagar los costos incrementados basados en la inflaci6n para proporcionar servicios de agua, aguas residuales y desechos s6lidos contraidos. La Ciudad tambien propone instituir nuevas tarifas para la instalaci6n de medidores de mds de/4 de pulgada como se establece en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada como Anexo A Programa de cargos por medidor; establecer una. nueva tarifa de unidad vacante como se establece en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada como Anexo B Tarifa de unidad vacante; aprobar una nueva tarifa fija para agua y aguas residuales como se establece en las tablas de tarifas adjuntas tituladas Anexo C Tarifas de agua fijas y tarifas de aguas residuales fijas actuales y propuestas; y tarifas de reestructuraci6n para unifamiliares residenciales, multifamiliares y no residenciales como se describe en la tabla de tarifas adjunta titulada Anexo D Tarifas de agua y tarifas de aguas residuales basadas en use actuales y propuestas. Las tarifas de compactador comercial actuales se muestran en el Anexo E y se ajustardn segun los campos en el IPC como se indica en el siguiente pdrrafo. La tarifa de reestructuraci6n, la tarifa de unidad vacante y la tarifa de instalaci6n de medidor para medidores que exceden 3/4 de pulgada se aplicardn el 8 de mayo de 2014. Bases para el calculo de la tarifa propuesta Las nuevas tarifas basadas en el ENR y el IPC serdn calculadas al incrementar la tarifa entonces existente en cada uno de los cinco aflos a partir de 2014 por el incremento del ano anterior en el ENR o el IPC sin exceder el 3 por ciento para agua y aguas residuales. La tarifa recomendada por el personal para la instalaci6n de medidor de mds de 3/4 de pulgada se calcula segun el costo contratado actual de la Ciudad para comprar el medidor mds 55 por ciento para cubrir una. porci6n de la instalaci6n y se presenta en la columna 2 del Anexo A Programa de cargos por medidor. La tarifa de vacantes se calcula en un cargo mensual por agua y aguas residuales. La tarifa de reestructuraci6n se calcula al incrementar el nivel nnico para multifamiliar y no residencial segun el promedio ponderado de tarifas de multiple nivel y disminuyendo todas las tarifas de unifamiliares por la cantidad exacta de ingresos que el incremento en multifamiliares y no residenciales se proyecta que genre.

WALLY SANDELIN, Public Works Director February 1, 2014 SUBJECT: Proposed Schedule of Utility Rate Increases This letter to our utility customers addresses some commonly questioned aspects of the Proposition 218 process relative to forecasted utility rate increases. One, the City's Proposition 218 notices will not result in any increase in utility rates. The Proposition 218 notice is a notice of proposed rate schedules and does not constitute a utility rate increase. It the case of water and wastewater rates, it sets a maximum limit of 3% for future rate increases, even if the inflationary index exceeds 3%. In the case of refuse rates, it sets a maximum limit equal to the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Two, the City has acted transparently by regularly presenting at numerous public meetings the financial models for the water and wastewater utilities that contain specific information on the forecasted increases in costs for personnel, utilities, materials, supplies, and debt service and lists specific system improvement projects. As recently as October 15, 2013, this information was presented at the Shirtsleeve meeting and is available online at the City Council Agendas and Minutes site. Three, the financial models present the best information available that support the notion of continued modest increases in rates. Again, the Council will not be voting on April 16 to increase rates by 3% for each of the next five years. Each year, actual numbers from the prior year and budget numbers for the next year provide the facts to Council so a decision can be made as to whether there should be no rate increase or a modest increase. Four, the objective of the proposed rate schedules is to make it possible to offset inflationary increases in water and wastewater operating costs should that become necessary. The rate changes are not intended to fund capital projects. In the past, maximum permitted rate increases have not been implemented and, in fact, the average annual water rate increase has been 1.2% over the past six years. Five, the proposed rate schedules will not be used to pay for infrastructure required to serve the demands presented by new development. The development impact fee program requires new development to reimburse the City for past and future investments in water, wastewater, streets, police, fire and other infrastructure. In fact, if new development exceeds that forecasted in the financial models, this could partially offset recommended inflationary increases. K:\WP\UTILITY RATES\W W1M2014 W -WW Rate Increase\Prop218\2nd Notice\ExplanationLetter.doc 5 Lastly, significant system improvements are planned that will, in the long term, significantly reduce expensive maintenance costs and evenly spread utility costs (rates) amongst our customers. These system improvements include the water and wastewater replacement program, water meter installation program, old water meter retrofit program, and system -wide well maintenance. And there are administration costs to run the utilities with much of those costs related to meeting State requirements for the operation of the wastewater treatment plant and the recently -completed water treatment plant.

STEPHEN SCHWABAUER, City Attorney F. WALLY SANDELIN, Public Works Director Esta carta para nuestros clientes de servicios trata algunos de los aspectos comOnmente cuestionados sobre el proceso de la Proposici6n 218 relativo a la predicci6n de incrementos en las tarifas de servicios. Uno, las notificaciones de la Proposici6n 218 de la ciudad no resultaran en ningun incremento de las tarifas de servicios. La notificaci6n de la Proposici6n 218 es una notificaci6n sobre el programa de tarifas propuesta y no constituye un incremento en las tarifas de servicios. En el caso de las tarifas por agua y aguas residuales, se tiene establecido un limite maximo de 3% para futuros incrementos en tarifas, incluso si el indice inflacionario excede el 3%. En el caso de tarifas de rechazo, se establece un limite maximo igual al cambio en el indice de precios al consumidor (IPC). Dos, la Ciudad ha actuado de manera transparente al presentar regularmente en numerosas reuniones p6blicas los modelos financieros de los servicios de agua y aguas residuales los cuales contienen informaci6n especifica sobe los incrementos pronosticados en cuanto a los costos de personal, servicios, materiales, suministros y servicios de deuda y enumera proyectos especificos de mejora en el sistema. Tan reciente como el 15 de octubre de 2013, esta informaci6n fue presentada en la reuni6n de Shirtsleeve y tambien esta disponible en linea en el sitio de Agenda y minutas del consejo municipal. Tres, los modelos financieros presentan la mejor informaci6n disponible que apoya la noci6n de incrementos modestos continuos en las tarifas. De nuevo, el Consejo no votary el 16 de abril para el incremento de las tarifas en un 3% para cada uno de los siguientes cinco anos. Cada ano, los numeros reales del ano anterior y los numeros del presupuesto para el siguiente ano proporcionan los hechos para el Consejo de manera que se pueda tomar una decisi6n respecto a si no debe haber incremento en las tarifas o si debe haber un incremento modesto. EI objetivo del programa de tarifas propuesto es el de poder compensar los incrementos inflacionarios en los costos de operaci6n del agua y aguas residuales de ser estos necesarios. Los cambios en las tarifas no tienen el prop6sito de generar fondos para proyectos de inversi6n. En el pasado, los incrementos maximos permitidos a las tarifas no fueron implementado y, de hecho, la tarifa promedio anual por agua ha incrementado 1.2$ durante los Gltimos seis anos. K:\WP\UTILITY RATES\W_WIM2014 W -WW Rate Increase\Prop218\2nd Notice\7159 ExplanationLetter ES.doc 7 Cinco, el programa de tarifas propuesto no sera usado para pagar por la infraestructura requerida para dar servicio a la demanda requerida por el nuevo desarrollo. EI programa de cuota de impacto del desarrollo requiere que el nuevo desarrollo reembolse a la Ciudad las inversion es pasadas y futuras en agua, aguas residuales, calles, policia, incendio y demas infraestructuras. De hecho, si el nuevo desarrollo excede dicho pronostico en los modelos financieros, esto podria compensar parcialmente los incrementos inflacionarios recomendados. Por ultimo, se planean significativas mejoras en el sistema que, a largo plazo, reduciran significativamente los caros costos de mantenimiento y distribuiran de manera equitativa los costos (tarifas) por servicios entre nuestros clientes. Estas mejoras en el sistema incluyen programa de reemplazo de agua y aguas residuales, programa de instalacion de medidores de agua, programa de reacondicionamiento de medidores antiguos de agua y mantenimiento de todo el sistema. Y hay costos administrativos para hacer funcionar los servicios con muchos de esos costos relacionados a cumplir con los requerimientos estatales por operacion de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales y la planta de tratamiento de agua recientemente terminada.
