RECOIIIIMENDED ACTION Public hearing to consider adopting resolution setting pre-approved
Engineering News Record adjustment index for wastewater rates for
residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City Council has made numerous water rate decisions over the
past several years. On March 20,2019, Council voted to approve a
five-year program of rate adjustments for water, wastewater, and
solid waste services, in accordance with the Proposition 218 rate setting process. The proposed rate
adjustments are needed to generate sufficient revenue to meet ongoing operation and maintenance
costs and debt service obligations, as well as, necessary capital maintenance improvements.
For the water and wastewater utilities, the annual rate adjustment, if approved, is the lesser of the
Engineering News Record (ENR) index change or three percent. A summary of the past years'
wastewater rate adjustments relative to the ENR index change is provided in the table below. The
purpose of this table is to demonstrate that, due to sound financial management, past actual rate
increases have frequently been below the approved maximum or deferred to coordinate with the
programming of capital improvement projects. ln fact, staff has not recommended a wastewater rate
increase since July 1, 2016.

ln preparation of the new five-year rate program, staff engaged the services of The Reed Group, lnc. to
analyze and update the financial models and current rate structure within both utilities. At present, the
wastewater operating fund balance exceeds target operating reserves. This surplus will be needed to
fund wastewater expenditures amounting to over $30 million over the next five years without borrowing.
A copy of the current wastewater Financial Plan is attached as Exhibit A. The recommended rate
adjustments in the Financial Plan are 2.9 percent, beginning July 1 ,2019. The rates for this next year
