COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2021/22 Water, Wastewater and Electric Utility Department
Financial Reports
MEETING DATE: July 20, 2022
PREPARED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Receive utility financial reports for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2021/22.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In accordance with the Lodi Municipal Code, quarterly financial reports are
to be prepared for the Water, Wastewater, and Electric Utilities.
Quarterly update presentations have been included in this report and a highlight of activities and progress is
outlined below for each utility.
Electric Utility Financial Highlights
REVENUE is stable tracking at 77 percent of budget.
✓ Energy sales revenues are strong tracking at 76 percent of budget based on adjustments made
at midyear to reflect an approximate 2.5 percent increase in energy usage.
✓ In addition, the utility is tracking higher than estimated interest income, payments received by
others for work performed by utility personnel as a result of increasing development and
business expansion activities as well as higher than estimated Cap and Trade auction proceeds
due to rising auction clearing prices.
EXPENSES are tracking at nearly 70 percent of budget three-quarters of the way through the year.
✓ Non -power operating expenses are tracking at just over 60 percent of budget.
✓ With three months remaining to report for the fiscal year, power supply costs are tracking at 72
percent of budget based on adjustments made at midyear.
✓ Capital outlay expenses are tracking at slightly over 40 percent of budget. Approximately 40
percent of the total capital budget is allocated to the utility's building renovation project for which
construction activities were completed in May; total expenses for this project will be reflected in
the final Fiscal Year 2022 results. In addition, the capital budget includes over $2M in budgeted
vehicle and equipment purchases. Due to long lead times associated with these items as a
result of supply chain challenges, expenses may not be realized for another 12 to 24 months.
RESERVES as of March 31, 2022 totaled approximately $43.7 million. These reserves are used to func
pay-as-you-go capital improvement and system maintenance projects.
APPROVED: "- `t,
Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS includes over $25 million over 5 years for capital improvement
efforts. The projects listed are included in the City's current Capital Improvement Program included in
the adopted budget.
5 -YEAR FINANCIAL FORECAST indicates sufficient reserves through Fiscal Year 2025. However,
based on a variety of assumptions, a CPI level rate adjustment of approximately 2 percent is projected
in Fiscal Year 2026 in order to meet Council approved reserve targets.

$1 million for the Fan Press Replacement, $3 million for the Aeration Diffuser Replacement and
$500,000 for the Digester #2 projects at White Slough. Capital expense is tracking far lower

• RESERVES as of March 31, 2022 totaled $17.5 million, which is 443 percent of the 180 days cash
