COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for November 1, 2017, to Consider Adopting Resolution
Setting Pre -Approved Engineering News Record Adjustment Index for
Usage -Based and Flat Water Rates for Residential, Commercial, and Industrial
Customers
MEETING DATE: October 4, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Set public hearing for November 1, 2017, to consider adopting
resolution setting pre -approved Engineering News Record
adjustment index for usage -based and flat water rates for
residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
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.

As reflected in the City's Financial Plan (Attachment C), fund balances rebound substantially starting
in Fiscal Year 2020/21 due to WMP expenditures no longer being required. 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.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
