F’N OF REVISED FEES RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Hold Public Hearing on the Water District’s 1994-95 Operating Budget, Capital improvement Program, and on the revision of Water District fees. 2. Adopt Resolution No. 8 3 b adopting the 1994-95 Operating Budget and Capital Improvement Program. 3. Adopt Resolution No. 83 r/ establishing the spending limit for 1994-95. 4. Adopt Resolution No. 873 setting Water District fees. ITEM EXPLANATION: This item is established to allow the public the opportunity to comment on the Water District’s proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets. Following the public hearing, the Board may adopt the Operating and Capital Improvement Budgets for 1994-95. The proposed Operating Budget for the Water District is $12.5 million, which has decreased by $291,000 or 2.3% from the current 1993-94 budget. The expenditure plan is based on the implementation of an increase in the water rate and delivery charge. The increase is needed to offset the higher rates charged for purchased water by the Metropolitan Water District. . The Water District portion of the CIP totals $63.3 million from 1994-95 to Buildout, while expenditures planned for 1994-95 total $10.6 million. Additional information regarding the CIP is available and contained within the City of Carlsbad 1994-95 Operating Budget and 1994-95 to Buildout Capital Improvement Program, on file with the District Secretary. Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires that the Gann Spending limit be presented with the Operating Budget. The spending limit for 1994-95 is $1 ,199,811, with no appropriations of “proceeds of taxes.” All revenues subject to the Gann Appropriations Limit are appropriated within the capital replacement fund and are therefore exempt. It is also recommended that the Water Board increase fees for both the water rate and the cost of delivery charge in order to pass through the rate increase assessed by the Metropolitan Water District. The recommended water rate increase is $.03 per unit, yielding a total charge of $1.70 per unit. The cost of delivery charge would increase by varying amounts depending upon the size of the water meter. A standard residential customer would experience a monthly increase of $1 .OO, for a total monthly delivery charge of $8.50. It is estimated that the rate increase will result in approximately $400,000 in additional revenues. -- FISCAL IMPACT: -- The fiscal impacts of the proposed Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budgets are detailed in the attached pages. 1.

The revenues which are subject to the Limitation are those considered “proceeds of taxes.” The basis for calculating the Limit began in fiscal year 1978-79 and is increased based on population growth and inflation. The major change made by Proposition 111 allows the Carlsbad Municipal Water District to annually choose among the following options for calculating its Gann Limit: b Growth in California per capita income, OR ä Growth in non-residential assessed valuation due to new construction in the City, AND l Population growth of Carlsbad, OR b Population growth within San Diego County. The factors used to calculate the 1994-95 Limit were: b Population growth within San Diego County, AND b Growth in California per capita income. The formula is outlined below: 1993-94 Expenditure Limit $1 ,174,671 % San Diego County Growth Growth in California per capita income Net Increase Factor 1 .0142 x 1.0071 1.0214 1994-95 Limit (198990 Limit X Factor) $1.199.811 Current Appropriation of Proceeds of Taxes $0.00 The spending limit for the Carlsbad Municipal Water District for 1994-95 is $1 ,199,811 with no appropriations of “proceeds of taxes”.
