BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council has made numerous water rate decisions over the past several years. On May 7, 2014, City Council approved a five-year program of rate adjustments for water, wastewater, and solid waste services in accordance with the Proposition 218 rate setting process. For the water and wastewater utilities, the approved annual rate adjustment is the lesser of the Engineering News Record (ENR) index change or three -percent. A summary of the past years water rate adjustments relative to the ENR index change is provided in Attachment A. The purpose of this table is to demonstrate that past actual rate increases have frequently been below the approved maximum. The previous year's ENR index change was 443 3.98 percent. In response to the anticipated downward trend in Water Fund balance, staff is recommending a water rate increase of 3 percent followed by 3 - percent increases annually through completion of the Water Meter Program (WMP). Cash flow requirements to fund WMP construction costs, and to a lesser extent water conservation, is driving the recommendation for the maximum 3 -percent increase. A substantial portion of the costs to operate the water utility are fixed since Lodi buys only a small fraction of its water supply. The bulk of the fixed costs is related to the debt service associated with constructing the water treatment plant and fixed costs to maintain the well production and delivery system. As such, conservation does not reduce fixed operation costs. While a 3 -percent increase (if approved) will allow for the planned construction of WMP Phase 8 in Fiscal Year 2017/18, it is expected the utility will dip into reserves by $759,000 this fiscal year and by $1.65 million in Fiscal Year 2018/19. This short-term financial condition is tolerable because of the overall good condition of the water system, and a minimum of $405,000 in Fiscal Year 2018/19 is available to account for unforeseen conditions that may be experienced by the utility. All debt service coverage requirements are being met during this period. A summary of current and proposed rates for flat rate and usage -based rate customers is provided in Attachment B. The attachment includes the rate sunset scheduled in January of 2021 that will role water rates back to January 1, 2017 levels. This action was directed by Council at the February 15, 2017 meeting. For a resident still on the flat rate, the monthly charge for a three-bedroom home will increase from $47.27 to $48.69, or $1.42 per month. A metered resident using an average of 1,800 cubic feet of water per month will see an increase from $41.89 to $43.17, or $1.28 per month.

This year corresponds with the rate sunset, as reflected in Resolution No. 2017-23 (Attachment D), and completion of the City's multi-year WMP. FISCAL IMPACT: The Water Utility is requiring increased revenue to fund the remaining phases of the WMP and to minimize declining fund balances until the WMP is complete.

A Proposition 218 procedure was conducted that validated this action; and WHEREAS, staff has regularly updated the Water Utility Financial Plan with the assistance of the The Reed Consulting Group, Inc., of Sacramento; and WHEREAS, the current water rate adjustment reflects a three -percent increase; and WHEREAS, the adjustment includes a "rate sunset" at the end of the Water Meter Program, which will eliminate this rate increase going forward from January 1, 2021. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby set pre -approved Engineering News Record adjustment index for usage -based and flat water rates for residential, commercial, and industrial customers as outlined on Exhibit A, with the effective date of the increase to be March 1, 2017; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the adjustment includes a "rate sunset" at the end of the Water Meter Program whereby water rates will be reset going forward from January 1, 2021, to the applicable rate as if this resolution had never passed.
