The project is identifie1 the tasks shown below: Task Groq Subject 1 Meetings 2 Data Compilation and Review 3 Data Projection 4 5 InventorylValuation of Assets 6 Reports and Deliverables User Charge and Fee Development These tasks are described below. TASK GROUP I - MEETINGS Ongoing communications are of prime importance to successful planning. We prefer a "no-surprises" relationship with the City and promote frequent and written oral communication. We propose the following meetings: Task 1.1 - Kick-Off Meeting The kick-off meeting will be convened within a week of Notice to Proceed. Prior to the kick-off meeting, JMM shall provide a detailed listing of the data needed from the City. The kick-off meeting will have the following agenda: Introduction of City staff and JMM study team. Exchange of data with discussion of possible data holes. Discussion of policy consideration and restraints on: o capital financing o growth projections 0 rate structure o budget schedule and needs Adjustments or refinements to schedule and scope. 1. 2. 3. 4. -2- i 0 a Task 1.2 - Mid-course Meeting This meeting will be held approximately 30 days into the project study. Tables showing the results of data compilation and rate review will be presented to show status of the study. Task 1.3 - Draft Review Meeting A meeting will be held to review and address City staff comments on Draft Report. Task 1.4 - Workshop Meeting This meeting will be held with the City Mmager &~d Assistant City Manager. JMM Will present the recommendations of the study and answer questions regarding any aspects of the study. Task 1.5 - City Council Meeting/Public Hearing JMM will make a formal presentation to City Council at a public hearing and will answer any questions that the Council or public may have about the financial plan and wastewater rate study, JMM will assist preparing the staff report to Council. if requested. TASK GROUP 2 - DATA COMPILATION AND REVIEW TASK 2.1 - Review Current and Historical Revenues and Reserves Existing data and reports regarding the City’s current rate and revenue structure and reserve balance will be reviewed if available. The analysis will include property taxes. interest income, and revenues from standby charges, service charges, service connection fees, regional connection fees, and any other revenue sources reported in the City’s audit or budget reports, It is understood that the City will identify reserve funds as encumbered or unencumbered, operational and capital as the case may be. Task 2.2 - Review Current Operating Budget and Historical Expenditures City expenditures and those from the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility for the past five years will be analyzed and summarized in a form suitabie to JMM for data projections and allocations in subsequent tasks. The City shall ais0 provide budgeted expenses for 1989-90. -3- * + e' 0 - Task 2.3 - Review User Data City staff will provide data regarding the numbers of accounts by user classification for review by JMM. The user classifications will be as follows if possible: Multiple family residential and mobile homes (number of units) Commercial with low pollutant loadings Commercial with medium pollutant loadings 1A. Single family residential 1B. 11. 111. IV. Commercial with high p V. Schools nlliitont WLPULLU~L 1fiart;nnn xuu=.aip VI. High-volume users - Low pollutant loadings are generally defined as those whose combined BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and SS (suspended solids) strength is less than 400 mg/l. Medium loading is similarly defined at combined strength of between 400 to 1000 mg/l and high loading for strength greater than 1000 mg/l. High volume users are those using more than 25,000 gallons per day (gpd). Section 5 presents the different types of commercial users. Task 2.4 - Review Wastewater Flow Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) Data City staff will provide last year's water use data and any known wastewater quantity data for each of the non-residential user classifications for review by JMM. Data on EDU's for existing non-residential users should also be provided. Infiltration and inflow data should be provided if available. Task 2.5 - Review Current Charge System TASK GROUP 3 - DATA PROJECTION A five-year financial planning period will be used to make projections. It iz recognized that financial figures such as revenues and expenses and related operatior figures like quantity of wastewater generated can be projected with sufficienl accuracy only for a few years. The model will be set up so that projections foi additional years can be accomplished easily. Task 3.1 - Project User and WastewatedEDU Data Using growth figures received from the City staff. the number and types of services resulting wastewater generation over the planning period will be projected. Data ir the Master Plan may be updated at this stage. Task 3.2 - Project Revenue Sources The various revenue sources currently funding the City's operations will be reviewec and projected. -4- * 0 0 Task 3.3 - Project Operations and Maintenance Costs Each expenditure item will be reviewed and projected separately. Costs such s power will be projected using the latest available cost and energy indices anc economic forecasts. Changes, if any, in O&M costs due to changes in number ol users, capacity or because of regulatory requirements will be considered. Treatmen1 costs from the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility will be obtained. Task 3.4- Review Capital Improvement Plans Capital improvement plans as described in the Citfl-Master Plan will be reviewed Expansion costs of the Encina Water Pollution Control Facility will be obtained anc reviewed with the City Engineer. Cash requirements associated with - capita improvement plans for the planning period will be reviewed with City staff. TASK GROUP 4 - USER CHARGE AND FEE DEVELOPMENT TASK 4.1 - Allocate Revenue Requirements The revenue requirements determined by projecting the fiscal data in Task 3.2 will be allocated as to flow, BOD, and suspended solids. Task 4.2 - Calculate User Charges JMM will provide an alternative to the existing method of charges based on EDU’s. This alternative method will be based on flow for commercial and non-commercial users. Allocated costs of operation, maintenance and replacement will be used tc formulate a fair and equitable user charge system. The allocated costs will be divided by the appropriate use measures (e.g. numbers of accounts, gallons of flou or pounds of BOD and suspended solids) to obtain unit costs which will then be used to determine wastewater ratesifor each cusdner class. Task 4.3 - Recommend Rates and Financial Plan Based on the calculations and City policies, an acceptable set of rates and plans tc meet City’s goals will be prepared. The rates will be structured taking intc consideration bond coverage requirements. @ c 0 TASK GROUP 5 - INVENTORY AND VALUATION OF ASSETS JMM will work with the City to compile an extensive list of assets that comprise the City’s wastewater system. Valuation of these assets will then be performed using two methods--reproduction costs new (RCN) and reproduction costs new less depreciation (RCNLD). Both of these valuation parameters will be useful to the City. -5- % 0- a TASK GROUP 6 - REPORTS AND DELIVERABLES Task 6.1 - Mid-Course Report The report for the mid-course meeting will be a compendium of tables, without text, showing the effects of various alternatives on rates. Five copies will be provided. Task 6.2 - Draft Report Pdcr to the ~arbhp, a draft rcport will be prcxhced fei cr%czl revk-iv by staff and JMM. Five copies of the draft report will be provided.
