Authorize and direct staff to prepare all required documents necessary to proceed with notification of proposed water and sewer rate adjustments in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements, including, but not limited to, the following: a) Prepare and mail proposed rate adjustment notices to all Santa Ana property owners in compliance with Proposition 218 requirements at cost not to exceed $75,000; b) Schedule a public hearing at a future Council meeting, on or after November 5, 2019; c) Prepare all other documents required to proceed with proposed water and sewer rate adjustments. d) Explore the feasibility of implementing a water and sewer low-income assistance program. DISCUSSION Background The City owns and operates a water distribution system and a sewer collection system that provides services to a community of nearly 350,000 residents and 5,000 businesses. The City water system consists of approximately 480 miles of mains, 10 reservoirs, 7 pumping stations, and 20 active wells. The City sewer system consists of 398 miles of main, 8,000 manholes, and 2 lift stations. The cost to keep these critical assets operational and invest in their replacement comes from the water and sewer rates charged to and collected from the community they serve. The California Constitution, via Proposition 218, ensures that all revenue collected from water and sewer charges is used for water and sewer operations and infrastructure related expenses. The City last performed a cost of service and rate study in 2014. The last adopted rate adjustment took effect on July 1, 2018. Due to various factors, including the drought conditions 65B-1 Authorize Staff to Prepare Documents for Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments September 17, 2019 Page 2 experienced in recent years, the rate revenue collected for both the water and sewer enterprises has been far below that which is necessary keep up with needed capital improvement projects. Currently 20% of the water distribution infrastructure is past its useful life and an estimated 70% will reach its useful life by 2040. Similarly, the sewer system requires an average of 4 miles of pipe replacement a year for the next 100 years but currently only about 1 mile of replacement a year can be afforded. On February 5, 2018, the City Council directed staff to perform a comprehensive rate study for both the water and sanitary sewer enterprises. A prior such study had been performed in 2014. On July 3, 2018, upon completion of a competitive bid process, the City awarded a contract to Stantec to develop a financial plan, cost of service, and rate structure analyses for water, recycled water, and sewer rates. The objectives of the study is to ensure the financial stability of both water and sewer enterprises while ensuring that the rates are in compliance with applicable law (namely California's Proposition 218 requirements). Capital Improvement Program The City's Water Resources Division has determined that both the water and sewer utilities need significant investment in the repair and rehabilitation of its aging infrastructure. The Water Enterprise has completed a Water Master Plan which identifies critical projects that will average nearly $15 million in annual capital spending for the next 20 years. Over the past 4 years the City has spent an average of less than $4 million annually. The water and sewer systems are already showing signs of distress. In past year alone the systems experienced 21 water main breaks, 173. water service leaks, 132 sewer laterals repaired, and 2 pump stations and 6 groundwater wells downed due to mechanical and/or electrical failures. While the Public Works Agency has excelled in making cost-effective repairs and rehabilitations, continued deferral of capital project investment will eventually result in the complete failure and loss of critical assets. The proposed projects predominately focus on groundwater well improvements, pipe replacement, and a major Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Project. With this increase in capital spending, the Water Enterprise will require a higher level of staffing to manage the projects (as many as an additional 8 full-time positions). Planned capital spending for the Sewer Enterprise includes pipe replacement at rate of 4 miles of aging pipe per year and the construction of a new $7 million pump station (which will be paid for with developer fees). This signifies an increase in average annual capital spending from under $1 million to over $6 million for the next 20 years. With this increase in capital spending, the Sewer Enterprise will require a higher level of staffing to manage the projects (as many as an additional 3 full-time positions). Financial Plan The rate study proposes to primarily cash finance the above re -investments in critical water and sewer infrastructure, with the exception of the AMI project. Cash financing is more appropriate to pay for average/typical capital spending levels. Cash financing avoids the cost of interest and ensures that a utility is not creating undue burden on future ratepayers through the accumulation of debt. For the AMI Project, some grant funding has already been secured and additional debt financing is being sought. Debt financing is appropriate for one-time, large capital projects (such 65B-2 Authorize Staff to Prepare Documents for Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments September 17, 2019 Page 3 as the AMI Project) that are anomalies compared to normal capital spending levels. Debt financing in those cases allows the utility to avoid unnecessary "rate shock" and helps spread the cost of large projects over a longer period. It also ensures that future ratepayers who benefit from the project will also pay for the project. As part of the analysis, existing reserve levels were examined. Recommended reserves include an Operating & Maintenance Reserve target equal to 90 days (3 months) of annual operating expenses; an Emergency Reserve set a $4 million (for both the Water and Sewer Enterprises); and a Repair, Renewal, and Replacement Capital Reserve equal to 50% of average annual projected capital spending. Rate Design Over the past decade the legal requirements surrounding utility rate setting in California have evolved. Namely the courts have made rulings with respect to California Constitution Article XIII C and D (commonly known as Proposition 218) that have created a higher "cost of service" standard for rate setting than has historically been practiced by public utilities. Simply put, the burden of proof is on utilities to demonstrate that all aspects of water and sewer rates are directly proportionate to the cost of providing service. This means aligning fixed revenue (fixed charges) with fixed costs, and variable revenue (usage rates) with variable costs. In addition, Stantec looked at opportunities to strengthen revenue stability for both utilities, which were found to rely too heavily on usage rates, making the utilities susceptible to revenue volatility. Currently, the City's water utility recovers approximately 17% of revenues through the fixed base charge while the sewer utility collects approximately 13% through fixed charges. These rates were not found to be aligned with the utilities' actual fixed costs, which were found to be closer to 40% for the water utility and nearly 100% for the sewer utility. The proposed water rates are structured to directly align the water utility's variable costs (i.e., water purchases and electricity) with the wafter usage rates ("Water Usage Charge"). By extension, the water utility's fixed costs (i.e., salaries, capital spending, maintenance, and overhead) will be aligned with the fixed water charges ("Water Utility Charge"). Sewer rates ("Sewer Utility Charge") are proposed to be fixed for all customers based on the size of their meter and the type of customer, since some customers (e.g., commercial accounts) return a larger percentage of their water to the sewer than others (e.g., single-family residences) which have higher irrigation needs. The Fats Oils and Grease (FOG) Charge for food service accounts will increase by 68% in order to better reflect the cost of the FOG Control Program. The proposed rate revenue adjustments outlined below support the recommended CIP plans and allow both enterprises to meet their respective financial goals: L• Authorize Staff to Prepare Documents for Proposed Water and Sewer Rate Adjustments September 17, 2019 Page 4 Typical Bill Impact The financial impact of the proposed revenue adjustments and rate structure changes on the typical customer was carefully evaluated. The overall increase in the combined typical bill of a single-family residential customer will be $4.92 per month (based on the average 1,257 cubic feet of water used per month by typical single-family residences). When compared to neighboring cities, the typical Santa Ana customer will continue to pay a similar amount, on average, for water and sewer services as compared to its neighboring cities such as Garden Grove, Brea, Fullerton and Orange. Low-income Assistance Program While the proposed rate structure will provide rate relief to numerous multifamily accounts, the rate setting requirements of applicable law (namely California's Proposition 218) disallows the use of rate revenue to fund a low-income water and/or sewer rate assistance program. Any such program needs to be funded through an outside source of revenue. Staff will explore viable options for funding a low-income subsidy program and report findings to Council at a future date. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 — Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy H (complete water/waste water rate study to ensure adequate resources to capture critical long-term capital needs). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT There is no environmental impact associated with this action.

The Santa Ana City Council will hold a public hearing at the time, date, and location specified above to consider a proposed five-year schedule of increases to the City's water rates and sewer charges. If adopted, proposed rate increases and charges will become effective on July 1, 2019; July 1, 2020; July 1, 2021; July 1, 2022; July 1, 2023, respectively. The public hearing will be conducted per California Constitution Article XIII D, Section 6 (also known as "Proposition 218"). This notice is being sent to all property owners and customers whose parcels receive water and/or sewer service from the City of Santa Ana, who would be impacted by imposed rates and charges. All members of the public are invited to attend the public hearing. Additionally, under California State Law, all of the City's property owners and customers of record may submit a written protest to the proposed rate changes. Only one protest per parcel is permitted. Please refer to the "How Can I Participate?" section of this document for instructions on submitting a formal written protest against the proposed action. You may also appear at the public hearing at the date and time specified above. More information, including a rate estimator, is available online at: www.Santa-Ana.org/pw/Water-and-Sewer. The City of Santa Ana is dedicated to providing reliable and cost- effective water and sewer service to its customers at rates that do not exceed the cost of service, while maintaining essential water and sewer infrastructure. The City hired an independent, third -party consultant to determine that cost of service. The City of Santa Ana is proposing changes to its water and sewer rate structures and charges. Customers who may be impacted by these changes are receiving this notice. We are seeking feedback to help the City Council make the right choice for the City of Santa Ana-and-fts-ratepayers. Y� r EXPIRING RATE SCHEDULE $ $ The City's existing 5-year rate schedule was established in 2014. A new schedule of rates is needed to ensure the City is fairly and equitably recovering the costs of providing service, using industry best practices and meeting legal requirements. AGING SYSTEM 4 0 The City of Santa Ana maintains a complex system of pipelines and facilities to provide safe, reliable water and sewer service to customers. As the system ages, resources are needed to keep these assets in good working condition and benefit rate payers by making timely re -investments in critical infrastructure.

WATER RATE STRUCTURE The proposed water rate structure is comprised of two components: a fixed monthly service charge (the "Water Utility Charge"), and the variable water consumption charge (the "Water Usage Charge"). Four customer classes would be established — Single Family, Multi -Family, Non -Residential and Recycled Water users. Commodity costs would be distributed among them based on each customer classes' total water use. Commodity costs for recycled water would be allocated 100 percent to those customers. Utility costs would be allocated to each respective customer class based on meter size. Water usage charges would have two tiers based on the source of the water and its availability. The Tier 1 rate would recover the cost of groundwater extraction, the electricity for producing and distributing that water, and some other costs. Tier 2 would recover the costs of purchasing imported water, the electrical costs for distributing that volume of water. The allocation of water in each tier would be based on the amount of water supply that is available from each respective source. SEWER RATE STRUCTURE The variable Sewer Commodity Charge and fixed Service Charge would be replaced by a single fixed Sewer Utility Charge, based on the size of the water meter and customer class. FIXED CHARGES are independent of the amount of water used. They cover non -fluctuating costs such as capital projects, transmission, distribution, meters and service. VARIABLE CHARGES are calculated based on the amount of water moving through a customer's meter. These charges cover expenses such as purchased water, electricity and treatment chemicals. ED RATE STRUCTURES If the proposed rate changes are approved by the City Council, all water and sewer services will be billed at the rates set forth in the tables on the following pages: Current Effective Effective Effective Effective Effective .I, Rate January 1,July 1, 2020 July 1, 2021 .July 1, 2022 July 1, 2023 r ' Per CCF") 2020 TIER 1•• $3.02 $2.03 $2.17 I $2.31 $2.36 $2.41 TIER 2`•' - $3.59 $4.79 $5.13 $5.46 $5.57 $5.68 - - - ------ I-.- --- -- RECYCLED ��------ ----- _--- - � - WATER $2.42 $2.15 $2.30 $2.45 $2.55 ---- --i------�---- $2.50 Z- - - 1 CCF=748 Gallons **See tier allocation table. ••' Tier 2 is any amount of water used over the amount allocated in Tier 1 i I w Proposed Proposed Proposed I.

Se establecerian cuatro clases de clientes: usuarios unifamiliares, multifamiliares, no residenciales y de agua reciclada. Los costos del producto se distribuirian entre ellos en funci6n del use total de agua de cada clase de cliente. Los costos del producto basico para el agua reciclada se asignarian al 100 por ciento a esos clientes. Los costos de servicios publicos se asignarian a cada clase de cliente respectiva en funci6n del tamano del medidor. Los cargos por use de agua tendrian dos niveles basados en la fuente del agua y su disponibilidad. La tarifa de Nivel 1 recuperaria el costo de la extracci6n de agua subterranea, la electricidad para producir y distribuir esa agua, y algunos otros costos. El Nivel 2 recuperaria los costos de comprar agua importada y los costos electricos para distribuir ese volumen de agua. La asignaci6n de agua en cada nivel se basarfa en la cantidad de suministro de agua disponible de cada fuente respectiva. LA ESTRUCTURA DE LA TARIFA DE ALCANTARILLADO El cargo variable por producto basico de alcantarillado y el cargo fiijo por servicio se reemplazarian por un unico cargo por servicios publicos de alcantarillado, basado en el tamano del medidor de agua y la clase de cliente. CARGOS FIJOS VS. VARIABLES LOS CARGOS FIJOS son independientes de la cantidad de agua utilizada. Cubren costos no MAS INFORMACION fluctuantes Como proyectos de capital, transmisi6n, distribuci6n, medidores y servicio. .. LOS CARGOS VARIABLES se calculan en funci6n de la cantidad de agua clue pasa a traves del medidor de un cliente.
