MEMORANDUM

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

3. Date of maturity.

City Council
Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

This report represents the City’s investments as of January 31, 2022. It includes all investments managed by the City, the investment institution, investment type, book value, maturity date, and rate of interest. As of January 31, 2022, the investment portfolio was in compliance with all State laws and the City’s investment policy.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Recommended Alternative - Approve staff’s recommendation to receive and file the attached report listing the investment deposits;

2. Do not approve staff’s recommendation; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Investments are undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.

DISADVANTAGES:

Some level of risk is present in any investment transaction. Losses could be incurred due to market price changes, technical cash flow complications such as the need to withdraw a non-negotiable Time Certificate of Deposit early, or even the default of an issuer. To minimize such risks, diversifications of the investment portfolio by institution and by investment instruments are being used as much as is practical and prudent.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Timothy J. Carmel, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued Local Emergency Related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Adoption of the Resolution will continue the declared local emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There are no direct fiscal impacts related to the proposed action; however, adoption of the Resolution will facilitate the ability for the City to request resources including financial support and reimbursement from the State Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for costs incurred in preparation and/or response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution declaring a continued local emergency related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

BACKGROUND:

As the City Council is aware, in accordance with Section 8.12.060 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code, the former City Manager, in his capacity as the Director of Emergency Services, proclaimed a local emergency on March 16, 2020, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The City Council ratified the proclamation at its regular meeting on March 24, 2020, and adopted resolutions declaring a continued local emergency since that time as the pandemic has persisted.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Section 8.12.065(C) provides that the City Council is to “Review the need for a continuing emergency declaration at regularly scheduled meetings at least every twenty-one (21) days until the emergency is terminated.” Accordingly, the City Council has adopted the appropriate Resolutions declaring a continued local

Item 8.d.

City Council

Page 2 ends

emergency related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic within the required 21-day time period since the ratification of the proclamation at its March 24, 2020 meeting.

This item is being presented to the City Council to satisfy the requirements of Section

8.12.065(C). Given the ongoing state of emergency proclaimed by the Governor, the ongoing public health orders issued by the State, and the ongoing work required of City staff to respond to the pandemic and these proclamations and orders, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the emergency declaration. The San Luis Obispo County (County) Public Health Officer and the County Emergency Services Director terminated the County’s emergency declarations with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic on February 25, 2022. However, a statewide emergency declaration issued by the Governor remains in place related to the pandemic.

In light of the ongoing statewide emergency, the ongoing impacts associated with the coronavirus within the Arroyo Grande community and the City organization, it is recommended that the City Council continue the declared local emergency.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the declared local emergency; or

2. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Adoption of the Resolution will satisfy the requirement of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding the periodic review of the declared local emergency related to the COVID19 pandemic.

DISADVANTAGES:

No disadvantages have been identified to adopting the Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Timothy J. Carmel, City Attorney
Steve Lieberman, Five Cities Fire Chief/Executive Officer Michael Martinez, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Consider Introduction of Ordinance Amending Ch. 8.08 of Title 8 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding Sale & Discharge of Class C (“Safe and Sane”) Fireworks & Adoption of Resolution Establishing Fines & Penalties for Illegal Fireworks Violations
DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

The proposed Ordinance would amend the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (“AGMC”) with regard to the discharge and sale of Class C “safe and sane” fireworks and adopt an administrative fine of $1,000 for possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling or use or illegal fireworks.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

No financial impact to the City is projected.

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

Chapter 8.08 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) lays out the City’s current fireworks program, which allows the sale and discharge of fireworks approved by the California Fire Marshall (also known as “safe and sane” fireworks) within the City, subject to certain limitations and requirements. The City’s fireworks program has been discussed by the City Council at various times over the years. Most recently, Municipal Code Section

8.08.100 was revised in 2019 to limit the public discharge of safe and sane fireworks to July 4th only. Following the receipt of renewed questions and concerns from the public regarding the City’s current fireworks program, the City Council directed staff at its

March 8, 2022

Page 2 ends

January 11, 2022 regular meeting to schedule a future agenda item to discuss potential amendments to the City’s current fireworks program.

On February 22, 2022, the City Council received a report regarding the status of the City’s fireworks program and discussed potential changes to the City’s Municipal Code to help address concerns regarding the impacts of fireworks within the community and to bring greater consistency with the regulations of the other two agencies within the Five Cities Fire Authority (FCFA). At that time, Council directed that changes to the City’s fireworks program be brought forward for implementation ahead of the 2022 Fourth of July holiday.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The provisions contained in Chapter 8.08 of the City’s Municipal Code (Attachment 1) delineate the conditions under which the sale and discharge of safe and sane fireworks may occur within the City. Sales may occur only at temporary booths permitted by the City’s fire chief, now the FCFA Fire Chief/Executive Officer, operated and maintained by a recognized charitable, civic or patriotic group or organization. Applications for permits to sell fireworks must be filed with the FCFA between March 1-April 15 each year. The maximum number of permits available each year is limited to one permit per each three thousand (3,000) residents of the City, resulting in a current total of six (6) available permits at this time. Sales are permitted to occur between noon on June 28th through noon on July 5th. As mentioned above, Municipal Code Section 8.08.100 allows fireworks to be discharged on July 4th only but without specifying the time of day. The result is that safe and sane fireworks may be discharged in the City from 12:00 am through 11:59 pm on July 4th.

On February 22, 2022, the City Council directed that certain changes be made to Municipal Code Chapter 8.08, including restricting the time of day that fireworks may be discharged, prohibiting the sale of fireworks past 9:00 pm on July 4th, changing the location limitations on fireworks stands consistent with other FCFA agency regulations, and establishment of a one thousand dollar ($1,000) fine for the possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, or use of illegal fireworks that may be imposed through an administrative citation. The proposed Ordinance provided for introduction addresses each of these Code changes, as described below. The proposed Resolution establishes the $1,000 fine.

Discharge of “Safe and Sane Fireworks”
Municipal Code Section 8.08.100 currently states, “Discharge of ‘safe and sane fireworks’ may only occur on July 4th in legally permitted locations. No person under eighteen (18) years of age may possess or discharge ‘safe and sane fireworks’ except when under the direct supervision of a person twenty-one (21) years of age or older.”

Item 8.e.

Page 3 ends

The proposed Ordinance reflects the Council’s direction on February 22, 2022 to restrict the discharge of “safe and sane fireworks” to July 4th only, from the hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Additionally, the Ordinance now includes a specific prohibition on the possession, manufacture, storage, sale, handling, or use of illegal fireworks.

Sale of “Safe and Sane” Fireworks
Pursuant to AGMC Section 8.08.070A the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks is currently allowed between noon on June 28th through July 5th at noon.

The proposed Ordinance reflects the Council’s direction on February 22, 2022 to restrict the sale of “safe and sane” fireworks from noon on June 28th through July 4th at 9 p.m.

Fireworks Stands – Placement
AGMC Section 8.08.060A currently states, “No fireworks stands shall be located with fifty (50) feet of any other building, within one hundred (100) feet of a gasoline or other type of flammable fuel pump or storage area, within five hundred (500) feet of another fireworks stand or less than one-eighth of a mile from the city’s boundary with another jurisdiction.” The proposed Ordinance reflects the Council’s direction on February 22, 2022 to modify the location of fireworks stands to thirty (30) feet from any building and five hundred (500) feet from other fireworks stands, consistent with the other FCFA agencies’ regulations.

Should the City Council approve revisions to the AGMC, the administrative impacts to the FCFA will be limited in scope. Application forms and supporting documents will be modified to disclose potential changes to the “Arroyo Grande Fireworks Program.” ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Introduce the Ordinance amending Chapter 8.08 related to the sale and discharge of “safe and sane” fireworks and adopt the Resolution establishing the fine;

2. Modify and re-introduce the Ordinance and modify and adopt the Resolution; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Limiting the number of hours upon which “safe and sane” fireworks may be discharged may reduce the negative effects associated with fireworks. Changing the fines for violations will discourage residents from discharging illegal fireworks. Other proposed changes will help standardize regulations administered by the FCFA among its three member agencies.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
By: Sarah Lansburgh, Deputy City Clerk/Communications Coordinator SUBJECT: Supplemental Information
Agenda Item 8.e. – Consider Introduction of Ordinance Amending Ch. 8.08 of Title 8 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding Sale & Discharge of Class C (“Safe and Sane”) Fireworks & Adoption of Resolution Establishing Fines & Penalties for Illegal Fireworks Violations
DATE: March 4, 2022
Following publication of the March 8, 2022 City Council Meeting agenda, it was discovered that the proposed Ordinance included in Item 8.e. mistakenly included a proposed revision to the distance limitation between fireworks stands. The current Arroyo Grande Municipal Code section 8.08.060.A states:

No fireworks stands shall be located within fifty (50) feet of any other building, within one hundred (100) feet of a gasoline or other type of flammable fuel pump or storage area, within five hundred (500) feet of another fireworks stand or less than one-eighth of a mile from the city's boundary with another jurisdiction.

The proposed Ordinance included with the published staff report mistakenly replaced the reference to “five hundred (500) feet” with “thirty (30) feet.” The proposed Ordinance has now been updated to reflect the direction of the City Council provided during its February 22, 2022 regular meeting that retained the original distance requirement between fireworks stands but modified the distance requirement for fireworks stands from other buildings from fifty (50) feet to thirty (30) feet. Section 2 of the proposed Ordinance has been updated as follows:

SECTION 2. Subsection A of Section 8.08.060 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

8.08.060A Fireworks Stands – Construction and Placement No fireworks stands shall be located within thirty (30) feet of any other building, within one hundred (100) feet of a gasoline or other

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Brian Pedrotti, Community Development Director
BY: Andrew Perez, Acting Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of the 2021 General Plan Annual Report DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

The General Plan Annual Report is an informational document identifying work completed in the previous year to implement the City’s General Plan. It is an informational document only and once received and filed by the City Council is filed with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the California Department of Housing and Community Development.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

No financial impact is projected.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended the City Council review and accept the 2021 General Plan Annual Report (the “Annual Report” or “Report”) and direct staff to forward the Report to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development.

BACKGROUND:

California Government Code Section 65400 requires all cities to file a General Plan Annual Report with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). The purpose of the Report is to monitor the City's implementation of the General Plan over time, to help identify statewide trends, document progress in meeting the City’s share of regional housing needs, and inform local decision makers. Prior to submittal to the state, the Annual Report must be presented to the City Council for review and acceptance.

Item 8.f.

City Council
Consideration of the 2021 General Plan Annual Report
March 8, 2022

Page 2 ends

The City's General Plan was adopted in October 2001. A number of activities have been undertaken that implement the goals and policies of the General Plan since that time, including implementation of the optional elements adopted by the City.

Planning Commission
The Annual Report was presented to the Planning Commission at its meeting on March 1, 2022. The Planning Commission recommended that the report be submitted to the City Council for final acceptance.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The Annual Report provides an overview of the activities completed or undertaken during 2021 to implement or update the General Plan. During the 2021 calendar year, amendments to two (2) General Plan elements were adopted.

Adopted by City Council on January 26, 2021, the Housing Element was deemed in compliance with State Housing Element Law by the State Department of Housing and Community Development on May 5, 2021. The Housing Element established policies and programs to meet the City’s 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 692 units. An important element in achieving the housing goals is creation of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Housing Element Program A.2-1 encourages ADU development through updates to the ADU Ordinance and execution of the pre-approved ADU plan program.

Community Development staff obtained comments and direction about the ADU Ordinance from City Council on February 8, 2022. Revisions to the draft Ordinance are anticipated to return to Council for consideration later this Spring. The pre-approved ADU plan program, a regional effort with the cities of Atascadero, Grover Beach, and Morro Bay, is underway and expected to be completed later this year.

Council also adopted an update to the Circulation Element on June 22, 2021. The adopted Element includes updated policies for traffic management and analysis, parking, and safety. These policies bring the Circulation Element into compliance with recent legislative directives, such as The Complete Streets Act (AB 1358), Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), and The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act (SB 375). Additionally, Multimodal Transportation Impact Study Guidelines were adopted, which establish a comprehensive, clear and consistent standard for analysis for all development projects within the City.

The City’s Annual Report is formatted into two (2) sections:
 Section 1: Introduction, including the legal requirements of the Annual Report and status of the adopted Elements of the General Plan; and  Section 2: Summary of Activity for 2021.

This report fulfills the requirements of Section 65400 of the California Government Code, which requires the City to file an annual report addressing the status of the General Plan and progress made toward goals and objectives. This annual report provides a means to monitor the success of implementing the General Plan and determine if changes need to be made in the plan or its implementation programs.

It defines the framework by which the physical, economic and human resources of the City are to be managed and utilized over time. The General Plan is available for public review at City Hall and on the City’s website.

The General Plan acts to clarify and articulate the intentions of the City with respect to the rights and expectations of the public, property owners, and prospective investors and business interests.

C. Status of the Adopted Elements of the City’s General Plan State law requires that the General Plan include seven elements. These mandatory elements must cover the following topics: Land Use, Circulation, Housing, Safety, Noise, Conservation, and Open Space. State law allows the City to adopt any additional general plan elements that the City deems necessary. The City has adopted the Parks and Recreation, Agriculture, and Economic Development Elements as optional elements, which have the same decision making weight as the mandatory elements. Additionally, the elements of the general plan may combine elements as it deems necessary. The City of Arroyo Grande General Plan combines Agriculture, Open Space, and Conservation elements into a single element. The following is a breakdown of the City’s General Plan:

The following is a brief overview of actions taken in 2021 relative to each individual Element:

Land Use Element (Adopted October 2001)
No text amendments to the Land Use Element occurred in 2021.

Circulation Element (Adopted June 2021)
City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the City’s Circulation Element on June 22, 2021.

The adopted Element includes updated policies for traffic management and analysis, parking, and

Page 60 of 636 ends

Arroyo Grande General Plan Annual Report - 2021 Page 7
safety. These policies bring the Circulation Element into compliance with recent legislative directives such as The Complete Streets Act (AB 1358), Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), and The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act (SB 375). Additionally, Multimodal Transportation Impact Study Guidelines were adopted, which establish a comprehensive, clear and consistent standard for analysis for all development projects within the City.

Housing Element (Adopted January 2021)
City Council adopted the Housing Element update on January 26, 2021. Upon adoption by City Council, the Housing Element was submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for review. On May 5, 2021, HCD found the Housing Element in full compliance with the State Housing Element Law. Another update is not anticipated until the conclusion of this housing cycle in 2028.

The City also partnered with the cities of Atascadero, Morro Bay, and Grover Breach to obtain funding from the Regional Early Action Planning grant program to develop pre-approved accessory dwelling unit (ADU) plans. The adopted Housing Element relies heavily on the development of ADUs to meet the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 692 units. The regional pre-approved ADU plan program will implement programs identified in the 6th cycle Housing Element to meet the City’s housing goals.

Table 1 reflects the number of units that were entitled, permitted, and/or finaled in 2021. This is compared to the number of units permitted in 2020. With changes in reporting requirements for the State, future Annual Reports will have comparable data between the current and previous years:

Table 1: Entitled, Permitted, & Finaled Units – 2020 vs. 2021 Income Level Entitled Permitted Finaled

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Sheridan Bohlken, Recreation Services Director
SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Purchase of Pour In Place (PIP) Surfacing and Installation Services Using the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Omnia Partners for the Inclusive Playground Replacement Project at Elm Street Park
DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Approval to purchase Pour In Place surfacing and installation services using the cooperative purchasing agreement with OMNIA Partners for playground surfacing with Play & Park Structures for the Inclusive Elm Street Park Playground Replacement Project.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The Pour In Place (PIP) surfacing and installation services for the Inclusive Elm Street Playground Replacement Project is anticipated to cost $90,000. The playground PIP expenditures will be funded out of the approved Capital Improvement Program Budget totaling $369,484 for the project in FY 2021-22. The total budget to fund this project is inclusive of the awarded Prop 68 Per Capita Grant Program for $177,952. By purchasing the PIP and installation using the cooperative purchasing agreement with OMNIA Partners, the City will save an anticipated $25,000.

RECOMMENDATION:

BACKGROUND:

On June 5, 2018, California voters approved Proposition 68, the “Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018” (Senate Bill 5). The “Per Capita Program,” administered by California State Park’s Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS), was established through this proposition with the intent of supplementing existing capital outlay expenditures for recreation purposes. Allocations for the Per Capita Program are determined based on the population of cities, counties, or other eligible districts. Under this program, grant

recipients are encouraged to utilize awards to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and to address deficiencies in neighborhoods lacking access to the outdoors.

On October 22, 2019, a resolution was adopted authorizing the City Manager to submit a grant application and associated documents for the “Per Capita Program”. On October 26, 2021, a project proposal was presented to the Council for the Inclusive Elm Street Park Playground Replacement Project, and the project, as well as the additional funding required, were approved. On December 2, 2021, the application for the Per Capita Grant Program was approved and signed by the State for $177,952.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Play & Park Structures is a member of the OMNIA Partners purchasing cooperative. The City of Arroyo Grande has been a member of OMNIA Partners (formerly known as National IPA & U.S. Communities) since 2007. OMNIA Partners is a cooperative purchasing organization for public sector procurement. The collective buying power provides savings for public agencies nationwide. Cooperative contracts are competitively solicited and publicly awarded. This process reduces product and administrative costs.

By purchasing the PIP surfacing and installation services for the Inclusive Elm Street Park Playground Replacement Project with Play & Park Structures through OMNIA Partners, the City not only receives products and services at an estimated cost savings of $25,000 through the procurement process, the City will receive consistency by using the same company for the playground equipment, design and installation of the PIP surfacing. A separate Request for Proposals/Qualifications will be administered for the playground equipment installation and engineering requirements for the project.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Approve the recommendation to purchase PIP surfacing and installation services with Play & Park Structures through OMNIA Partners for the Inclusive Elm Street Playground Replacement Project;

2. Do not approve the recommendation to purchase PIP surfacing and installation services with Play & Park Structures through OMNIA Partners for the approved Inclusive Elm Street Playground Replacement Project; or

3. Provide other staff direction.

ADVANTAGES:

Approval of the purchase of PIP surfacing and installation services with Play & Park Structures through OMNIA Partners will provide the approved inclusive playground incorporating NatureGrounds, Play-On Technology Promoting Physical Activity, the 7 Principles of Inclusive Playground Design and an Outdoor Adult Fitness Zone, qualifying the playground for four National Demonstration Site accreditations, the first in the nation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director BY: Jill McPeek, Capital Improvement Project Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050 Determining to Continue Work Under Emergency Contracts for the Storm Drain System at 251 East Grand Avenue Project, PW 2021-12
DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Adoption of a Resolution by the required four-fifths vote will allow for the continuance of emergency repairs to the storm drain system at 251 East Grand Avenue.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The FY 2021-22 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, as amended, includes $525,800 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for repair of the Storm Drain System at 251 East Grand Avenue Project. Staff time has been and will continue to be necessary to coordinate construction activities with the property owners, consultant engineer, and contractors.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution finding that there is a need to continue the emergency action for the storm drain system repairs at 251 East Grand Avenue in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22050.

BACKGROUND:

Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 22050 allows a public agency, in the case of an emergency, to repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes without going through a formal bid process. On November 9, 2021, the Council adopted Resolution No. 5124 declaring an emergency and authorizing the immediate expenditure of funds to repair the storm drain system located at 251 East Grand Avenue, which had failed following a storm that occurred in October 2021. The urgency for the repairs was to prevent storm water from entering a deteriorating

corrugated metal pipe (CMP) which undermines the soil surrounding the CMP and causes voids under the pavement leading to surface depressions and eventually sink holes.

PCC Section 22050 requires that after proceeding with an emergency project, the City Council shall review the emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the emergency action is terminated, and if it is determined that there is a need to continue the action, authorize continuation of the emergency action by a four-fifths vote. On February 22, 2022, the Council adopted Resolution No. 5160 determining a need to continue work under emergency contracts to repair the storm drain system at 251 East Grand Avenue.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Since the February 22, 2022, Council meeting, the status of the project as of March 2, 2022, is as follows:
 CalPortland completed construction of the new headwalls at the inlet and outlet of the new storm drain pipe;
 CalPortland began backfilling behind the headwalls and restoring the work pad area to pre-construction condition; and
 CalPortland completed repairs to damaged concrete curbing.

As of March 2, 2022, the project costs are estimated as follows, including expended plus anticipated costs:

Plug and fill existing CMP storm drain $ 47,200
Installation of new storm drain pipe 336,300
Extra work due to new storm drain obstructions 102,600
Site restoration, fencing & barricade rental 15,600
Before/after testing of fuel lines 2,800
Consultant services - design, construction, testing 21,300 Total $ 525,800
With the failed CMP being filled, the potential for directed storm water flow into the failed CMP and surrounding voids no longer exists and storm water will now enter the new permanent storm drain pipe. However, prompt action for a few final components of the project are still required, including lining of the new pipe, testing of the fuel lines, and repairs to an area of depression in the service station asphalt and installation of a permanent asphalt patch. For these reasons, staff recommends continuing the emergency action.

Item 8.h.

Page 3 ends

As required by statute, staff will continue to bring a similar item to the Council on all subsequent regular meeting agendas until the emergency repairs have been completed and the emergency action is terminated by the Council. Staff will continue to work with the contractors and design engineer to complete the emergency repairs.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. Adopt a Resolution determining a need to continue work under the emergency declaration;

2. Do not adopt the proposed Resolution and direct staff to prepare a resolution to terminate the emergency declaration; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Adoption of the Resolution will allow for the continuance of emergency repairs to the storm drain system at 251 East Grand Avenue and will eliminate a serious threat to public health and safety and minimize disruptions to the Chevron station’s operations.

DISADVANTAGES:

None identified at this time.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Bill Robeson, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director
Shane Taylor, Utilities Manger
SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Water and Wastewater Rates for Fiscal Year 2021-22 through Fiscal Year 2025-26
DATE: March 8, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Conduct a public hearing, consider protests regarding the proposed water and wastewater rate adjustments set forth in the notice of public hearing provided to water and wastewater customers based on the 2021 Water and Wastewater Rate Study, and if there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing new Water and Wastewater rates effective April 19, 2022, for Fiscal year 2021-22 though Fiscal Year 2025-26.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The proposed new water rates would increase 6.4% on April 19, 2022, and 6.4% each January 1 through 2026. A wastewater rate increase of 8.3% annually over the next 5 years is also proposed. These increases reflect the anticipated costs of providing water and wastewater services through Fiscal Year 2025-26.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Conduct a public hearing and consider protests regarding the proposed water and wastewater rate adjustments identified in the notice of public hearing, based on the 2021 Water and Wastewater Rate Study; and 2) If there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing new Water and Wastewater rates effective April 19, 2022, and January 1 each year through Fiscal Year 2025-26.

BACKGROUND:

Water and sewer services are a foundational aspect of City services and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. A shared water and sewer system allows for more efficient land use patterns, prevents water borne diseases, avoids conflicts between wells and septic systems, reduces individual large capital investments, and allows for consistently clean, treated and tested water to be delivered

to all residents and businesses regardless of property geography. The water system also includes a citywide fire hydrant system.

In order to gain these foundational benefits, the water and wastewater systems and related infrastructure needs to be managed, maintained, and funded by the users of the system through six utility bills per year. Approximately every 5 years, City staff produces a study of costs and needed revenue to operate the water and wastewater systems.

Once completed, the City Council reviews the study and makes a determination of rates needed to operate the two systems during the next five years.

The previous Water and Wastewater Rate Study was completed in 2014 and set updated water rates for services for Fiscal Years 2014-15 through 2018-19. The wastewater rates were projected to maintain fiscal sustainability and solvency under the same rates established prior to the 2014 study and no rate adjustments were necessary at that time.

The wastewater rates have not been adjusted since 2009.

On January 22, 2019, the City Council approved an agreement with Tuckfield & Associates to prepare a Water, Wastewater and Storm Water Rate Study Update. The study was intended to set rates for the next 5-year period, beginning in 2020.

On October 29, 2019, the City Council held a Special Study Session to receive a presentation of the draft study by Clayton Tuckfield from Tuckfield & Associates. The Study Session provided an opportunity for Council and the public to receive information, ask questions, and discuss the Water, Wastewater and Storm Water Rate Study.

Effective January 1, 2018, Senate Bill 231 classified storm water systems as part of the wastewater/sewer system and provided that storm water fees may be collected using a Proposition 218 rate setting process. A letter was sent to the City dated December 19, 2019, from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The letter argued that Senate Bill 231 conflicts with case law interpreting the California Constitution and that the ability to propose a storm drainage fee is subject to a vote by the property owners or the voting residents of the affected area. The City Attorney confirmed this interpretation and recommended that staff remove the storm water component from the draft rate study.

On December 14, 2021, the City Council reviewed a revised 2021 Water and Wastewater Rate Study (Study) (Attachment 1) and received a presentation from Tuckfield & Associates. The staff report for the December 14, 2021 consideration of the Study is provided as Attachment 3. The major objectives of the Study were:
 Review the current and future financial status of each of the water and wastewater enterprises;

Page 104 of 636 ends

Item 9.a.

City Council
Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Water and Wastewater Rates for Fiscal Year 2021-22 through Fiscal Year 2025-26 March 8, 2022

Page 3 ends

 Evaluate and propose adjustments to the revenue being received to ensure that the enterprises’ financial obligations are met now, and in the future, including adequate reserves and debt service coverage; and
 Design water and wastewater rates that generate the required revenue for the cost of service while being proportionate and equitable for customers.

The City Council’s prior decisions to allocate $1,899,550 in one-time funding received from the Federal government under the American Rescue Plan Act to water and sewer capital improvement projects helped to reduce the overall funding needed to continue operating the City’s water and wastewater systems. However, rate increases were recommended in the Study to ensure the City’s ability to provide water and wastewater service to the City’s customers and to address increased operating and material costs.

Water Rate Discussion
The December 14, 2021 discussion included a description of the City’s water rate structure, which includes two components - fixed monthly and variable (water consumption-based) charges – charged to four different customer classes. Customer classes are groups of customers with similar use characteristics and include SingleFamily Residential (SFR), Multifamily Residential (MFR), non-residential, and irrigation.

As explained during the December 14, 2021 report, the Study’s recommended water rate structure includes maintaining the fixed charge and three-tier variable charge structures, but would modify the variable charge to revise the tier break points for residential customers. The restructuring of the tiers is based on a decline in overall consumption, resulting in a reduction of water sold in all tiers. For SFR and MFR customers, Tier 1 is defined as consumption to provide basic indoor water use and is based on 2.39 persons per household (pph) using 55 gallons per capita per day (gcpd), utilizing the standards recommended by the California Department of Finance and the California Water Board.

These criteria result in a Tier 1 breakpoint of 10 Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF) per billing period. Tier 2 is defined as consumption related to outdoor water use up to the average SFR summer peak demand, which was determined from billing information to be 22 HCF.

Tier 3 is defined as water use above Tier 2.

The Study presented four different water rate options for consideration, including rates with and without the costs of participation in the Central Coast Blue Project (CCB) and drought rates with and without CCB that account for the potential impacts of a sustained drought and the City’s current Stage 1 Water Shortage Emergency Declaration. Following discussion on December 14, 2021, Council directed staff to move forward with the rates presented with the CCB project but without drought rates. The recommended water rate structure and rates with CCB would increase rates by an average of 6.4% beginning on April 19, 2022, and another 6.4% each year beginning on January 1 through 2026, as provided in table 1 below:

Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Water and Wastewater Rates for Fiscal Year 2021-22 through Fiscal Year 2025-26 March 8, 2022

Page 6 ends

Wastewater Rate
The current wastewater rates consist of fixed and variable charges to residential and nonresidential customers. All customers are charged the same fixed charges bi-monthly.

Residential and Non-Residential customers are charged different variable rates. The City’s wastewater rates have not been adjusted since 2009. The Study recommended that wastewater rates be increased by an average of 8.3% beginning on April 19, 2022, and each January 1 through 2026 in order to ensure sufficient funds for needed capital improvements and ongoing operations of the City’s wastewater system. Drought rates for the wastewater system were also developed for consideration but were not recommended by staff or directed for inclusion by Council at the December 14, 2021 meeting.

The recommended wastewater rate structure and rates are provided in table 2 below:

Table 2
Proposed Wastewater Fixed and Variable Charges
On January 11, 2022, the City Council adopted a Resolution approving the 2021 Water and Wastewater Rate Study and set the Public Hearing for March 8, 2022, to consider adjusting the water and wastewater rates for Fiscal Years 2021 through 2026 (Attachment 4).

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The Study proposes water rate increases of 6.4% on April 19, 2022, and each January 1 through 2026 to provide sufficient revenue for ongoing operations as well as participation in the CCB project. A wastewater rate increase of 8.3% annually over the next 5 years is also proposed. These increases reflect the anticipated costs of providing water and wastewater services to the City’s customers.

The water rates with CCB include the City’s full costs to participate in the project without additional grant funding. While it is anticipated that additional grants will be awarded for the project, it is unknown how much grant funding will be received. In the event that additional grants are awarded, staff proposes to evaluate the impacts to the City’s Current April 19, January 1, January 1, January 1, January 1, Rate FY 21-22 FY 22-23 FY 23-24 FY 24-25 FY 25-26

adopted rate adjustments and to recommend reductions as appropriate. It is possible that sufficient grant funding will enable the City to determine that an increase scheduled for January 1 of 2024-2026 is not necessary, though additional analysis will be required following the award of grants for the project.

It is anticipated that the proposed water and wastewater rates will have the following impacts on an average SFR customer:

The proposed water and wastewater rates result in an overall increase of 32.1% and

11.9% respectively over the course of the five-year implementation period. However, the City’s rates will remain lower than the vast majority of the providers in the County during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2021-22, as depicted in Charts 1 and 2 below. (Comparisons of an average SFR customer’s bills in future years have not been included due to the uncertainties of other jurisdictions’ rate changes.)

Based upon the provisions of Proposition 218, all affected rate payers must receive written notice by mail at least 45 days prior to the adoption of adjustments. The notice must include the amount of the fee, the basis on which the fee was calculated and the date, time and place of the public hearing and must clearly advise of the right to protest the fee increase. Proposition 218 notices for the contemplated rate adjustments were mailed by January 22, 2022. A copy of the mailed notice is provided in Attachment 5.

One protest letter provided information about opposing the proposed rates for multifamily being reduced as discussed in the new tier structure above. For multifamily residential customers each residential unit will receive a tiered amount; for example, If written protests to the proposed rate increase are received from a majority of affected parcels, the City Council may not adopt the proposed rates. There are currently 8,807 parcels in Arroyo Grande. Therefore, 4,404 would represent a majority. According to State law, one written protest per parcel will be counted toward reaching a majority. The protest must be submitted in writing, signed by the property owner or the authorized representative of the property owner. At the time this report was prepared, there were 12 protest letters received. Protests have been accepted via email as well as by mail, and will be accepted up to the close of the public hearing. At that time, the total protest letters received will be counted and, if no majority protest has occurred, Council may adopt the proposed Resolution setting forth the new water and wastewater rates that will go into effect on April 19, 2022.

ALTERNATIVES:

The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:

1. 1) Conduct a public hearing and consider protests regarding the proposed water and wastewater rate adjustments identified in the notice of public hearing, based on the 2021 Water and Wastewater Rate Study; and 2) if there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing new Water and Wastewater rates effective April 19, 2022, and January 1 each year through Fiscal Year 2025-26; or

2. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Implementing the proposed water rate increases and rate structure changes will provide ongoing revenue to meet the next five years of operating, capital and debt expenditures in the Water Enterprise Fund and Wastewater Enterprise Fund. The recommendations will balance minimizing rate increases with maintaining adequate reserves available to meet important capital and water supply needs.

DISADVANTAGES:

Customers will experience higher water and wastewater utility costs.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION AND COMMENTS:

The Agenda was posted at City Hall and on the City’s website in accordance with Government Code Section 54954.2.

Water and Wastewater Rate Study  City of Arroyo Grande Tuckfield & Associates 1
Executive Summary
The City of Arroyo Grande (City) retained Tuckfield & Associates to conduct a comprehensive Water and Wastewater Rate Study (Study). The objectives of the Study included determining water and wastewater rates for a five-year period through development of pro forma statements of revenues and revenue requirements for each system and through analyses to determine the costs of providing service. A second objective was to provide recommendations to improve the equity among ratepayers while incorporating local requirements and state laws.

Enterprise Financial Plans
Forward-looking financial plans were developed for FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26 (the “Study Period”) for each of the water and wastewater systems. The amount of revenue needed to recover the projected revenue requirements was determined for FY 2021-22 for each system. This revenue was then increased annually by various percentages that will create sustainable enterprises for each system over the Study Period. A summary of the proposed annual revenue increases for the water and wastewater systems are provided in Table ES-1.

For the water system, the revenue increases were determined with and without the Central Coast Blue (CCB) project. CCB is a water sustainability project that will create a new, high quality, and reliable water supply for the City of Arroyo Grande and other agencies. The CCB project will provide a new advanced water purification facility to create a high-quality water source to supplement local supplies. The CCB project will allow these communities to have a more sustainable groundwater supply especially during multiple dry years.

The percentages in Table ES-1 are an indication of the increases needed in user charges of the utility systems.

The increases are necessary to maintain the financial health of each system and to provide funding for the operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses, capital funding needs, debt service, and reserve requirements.

million hundred cubic feet (HCF) in FY 2013-14 to about 1.0 million HCF in FY 2020-21. For the Single-family Residential (SFR) and Multifamily Residential (MFR) classifications, the decline in consumption resulted in a reduction of water sold in all tiers. In addition, the existing SFR Tier 2 break point that was established as the summer peak average consumption has decreased from 36 HCF bi-monthly to 22 HCF bi-monthly.

It is recommended that the tier break points be changed to reflect the new SFR and MFR consumption patterns.

It is proposed that Tier 1 be revised from zero to 18 HCF to zero to 10 HCF, reflecting current indoor water consumption aggregated over the service area and not by individual home.

It is further recommended that the upper Tier 2 break point be revised from 36 HCF to 22 HCF. The recommended SFR and MFR Tier restructuring is provided in Table ES-2 below.

The proposed water rate structure and rates with CCB are provided in Table ES-3 for implementation beginning April 19, 2022 and each January 1 thereafter for the Study Period.

Water and Wastewater Rate Study  City of Arroyo Grande Tuckfield & Associates 9
Introduction
The City of Arroyo Grande (City) retained Tuckfield & Associates to conduct a comprehensive Water and Wastewater Rate Study (Study) for its water and wastewater enterprise systems. This Study develops pro forma statements of revenues and revenue requirements for each enterprise, determines the cost of providing service to customers, and designs new water and wastewater rates and charges for implementation.

Background
The City of Arroyo Grande was incorporated as a general law City in 1911 and is located in San Luis Obispo County along the Arroyo Grande Creek, more than 180 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The City provides water and wastewater service to a 5.5 square mile service area serving a population of approximately 17,900. Water and wastewater revenues and expenses are accounted for separately in enterprise funds of the City.

The water utility obtains its water supply from nine wells and from surface water obtained from the Lopez Reservoir Project. Groundwater is pumped from the Santa Maria Ground Water Basin. Based on the current Groundwater Management Agreement, the City has an entitlement to 1,323 acre-feet. Groundwater is also pumped from the Pismo Formation and the current pumping capability from this source is 160 acre-feet per year.

The City also receives an entitlement of 2,290 acre-feet of surface water from the Lopez Reservoir Project through an August 2000 water supply contract with the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District. Surplus water from the reservoir may also be purchased by the City when such supplies are available, though it is not considered to be a firm supply for the City.

Storage facilities presently include six above ground or partially buried water tanks with a storage capacity of approximately 6.7 million gallons. The transmission and distribution system include over 87 miles of pipeline ranging in size from 2-inch to 16-inch, six booster pump stations, approximately 6,755 meters, and about 900 public fire hydrants.

The wastewater system consists of sewer pipe, lift stations, and general utility assets used to collect the City’s wastewater. The wastewater is collected through a system of 5 lift stations and sewer pipe ranging in size from 6-inch to 24-inch and is delivered to a trunk sewer provided by the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District (SSLOCSD). The City is a member agency of the SSLOCSD to provide wastewater collection (via the trunk sewer), wastewater treatment, and disposal services. Arroyo Grande is one of three member agencies of SSLOCSD receiving similar services.

Objectives
The objectives of this Study are to (1) review the current and future financial status of each of the water and wastewater enterprises, (2) make any adjustments to the revenue being received to ensure that the financial obligations are being met now and in the future, including adequate reserves and debt service coverage, and (3) design water and wastewater rates that generate the required revenue while being fair and equitable for its customers.

Page 135 of 636 ends

Water and Wastewater Rate Study  City of Arroyo Grande Tuckfield & Associates 10
Scope of the Study
This Study includes the findings and recommendations of analyzing each of the water and wastewater system’s financial status and related Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. Historical trends were analyzed from data supplied by the City showing the number of customers, volumes, revenue, and revenue requirements.

Revenue requirements of each enterprise includes operation and maintenance (O&M) expense, routine capital outlays, CIP funding, debt service, and additions to reserves. Changing conditions such as additional facilities, system growth, employee additions/reductions, and non-recurring maintenance expenditures are recognized.

Inflation for ongoing expenditures is included to reflect cost escalation.

The financial plan and rates developed herein are based on funding of the CIP and estimates of O&M expenses provided by the City. Deviation from the financial plans, construction cost estimates and funding requirements, major operational changes, or other financial policy changes that were not foreseen, may result in the need for lower or higher revenue than anticipated. It is suggested that the City conduct an update to the rate study at least every three years for prudent rate planning.

Assumptions
Several assumptions were used to conduct the Study for the period FY 2021-22 to FY 2025-26. The assumptions included growth rates in customer accounts and related consumption, interest earnings rate, and expense inflation factors used for projecting revenue and expense. The financial planning assumptions are provided in Table 1.

Reserve Policy
The City’s reserve policy goals were developed in the previous rate study in 2014. The reserve goals provide a means to meet unanticipated reductions in revenues, meet changes in the costs of providing services, provide for fixed asset repair and replacement, natural disaster needs, and other issues. The reserves also provide guidelines to maintain the financial health and stability of the enterprise funds. The reserve types and the amount of reserves used in this Study are discussed below.

Operating Reserve
The purpose of the Operating Reserve is to provide working capital to meet cash flow needs during normal operations and support the operation, maintenance and administration of the utility. This reserve ensures that operations can continue should there be significant events that impact cash flows. The target balance to be maintained is 90 days (25 percent) of the current annual operating expense budget.

Capital Reserve
The purpose of the Capital Reserve is to fund future replacement of assets and CIP projects. The Capital reserves are used to fund the construction of the projects as the projects progress and the funds are expended. The reserve target has been established at $500,000 each for the water and wastewater systems.

Facility Fund Reserve
Revenue from water and wastewater development fees (capacity charges) are received and set aside to be used only for system expansion. The reserves remain in a separate account and are only spent on capital improvement projects that are specifically identified for which the fee was collected. There are no specific target balances for the funds.

Lopez Fund Reserve
The Lopez Fund accounts for the revenue and expenditures of the surface water purchases from the County.

Revenues are collected through the water rates in sufficient amounts to provide for a transfer of revenue to meet the expenses in the Lopez Fund. A reserve is maintained in the fund at least equal to annual Lopez debt service.

Beginning Balances and Reserve Targets
As of June 30, 2021, the City’s beginning reserve balances are listed in Table 2. The reserves are used in developing the financial plans for the water and wastewater utility systems. The Target Reserves are also provided in the table.

Water Financial Planning
Financial planning for the water system includes identifying and projecting revenues and revenue requirements for a five-year planning period. This section discusses current water rates, current user classifications, projected revenues and revenue requirements, capital improvement expenditures and financing sources, and proposed revenue adjustments.

Current Water Rates
Table 3 provides the current water rates of the water system. The current rate structure was established with the City’s last rate study in 2014. The water rates consist of fixed and variable charges to residential and nonresidential customers. Fixed charges are shown in the table as monthly charges and bills are mailed to customers bi-monthly. All customers are charged a fixed charge that varies by meter size.

Single-family residential (SFR) and Multifamily residential (MFR) customers are charged for consumption using a bi-monthly three-tier variable rate structure. Tier 1 for both residential types include usage per dwelling unit from zero to 18 hundred cubic feet (HCF). Tier 2 is consumption from 19 to 36 HCF for SFR and 19 to 27 HCF for MFR. Tier 3 is consumption over Tier 2. Non-residential customers are charged a uniform rate for water consumed.

Water User Classifications
Number of Customers
The City classifies water customers as SFR, MFR, Commercial, Irrigation, Hydrant (construction), and Wheeling.

SFR customers account for about 90 percent of the total customers served (excluding fire accounts) by the water system. Growth is projected to occur only in SFR and MFR dwelling units at a rate of 0.50 percent annually or about 30 SFR units and 9 MFR units added each year, following the assumptions listed in Table 1. Table 4 provides the historical and projected average number of customers by classification.

Number of Water Meters
Table 5 provides a summary of the current and projected average number of water customers by meter size. The majority of customers have 5/8-inch meters (83 percent) installed at the service location. It is assumed that all new SFR customers will have 1-inch meters installed and this is the minimum size for new meter installations for the City’s customer base.

improvement needs of the water system and its financing, debt service requirements, and revenue adjustments needed to maintain a sustainable water enterprise.

Water Revenues
The Water Fund receives revenue from several sources. Operating revenue is received from rates and charges for water service. Revenue from water rates is projected by applying the current water rates to the projected number of accounts and consumption volume. Table 7 presents the projected revenue from current water rates of the water system.

Miscellaneous Water Revenue
Miscellaneous revenues are received from several sources including collections from delinquent accounts, meter installations, late payment fees, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, and other sources. Table 8 below provides sources of miscellaneous revenue.

Water Revenue Requirements
Revenue requirements of the water system include O&M expense, CCB Water Supply, Transfer to Lopez Fund for purchased water, annual CIP funding, and debt service. Each of these items are discussed below.

Water Operation and Maintenance Expense
O&M expenses are an on-going obligation of the water system and such costs are normally met from water service revenue. O&M includes the cost to operate and maintain the water supply, reservoirs, and distribution system facilities. Costs also include technical services and other general and administrative expenses.

O&M has been projected recognizing the major expense categories of personnel services, electric power expense, chemicals, all other expenses, and capital outlay. Personnel costs consist of salaries and benefits expense of those personnel directly involved with providing water service. Salaries and wages are projected to increase by 3.5 percent annually, while benefits expense is projected to increase by 8 percent annually. Electric power expense is projected to increase annually by 3 percent while chemicals expense increases also by 3 percent annually. Personnel Transfers increase annually by 4 percent. All other O&M expense is projected to increase by 2 percent annually. Capital outlay is projected to increase by 3 percent annually. Table 9 provides a summary of the O&M expenses for the Study Period. A detailed summary of the budgeted and projected O&M expense is provided in Appendix A-1.

Central Coast Blue Water Supply
Central Coast Blue (CCB) is a water sustainability project that will create a new, high quality, and reliable water supply for the City of Arroyo Grande and other agencies. The CCB project will provide a new advanced water purification facility to create a high-quality water source to supplement local supplies. The cities of Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, and Grover Beach are in discussions to design and build Phase 1 of the project. The CCB project will allow these communities to have a more sustainable groundwater supply especially during multiple dry years. City staff has assumed that the water enterprise fund will support the City’s 25 percent share of the project cost and the water rates designed with the CCB project will support the pipelines, storage, advance treatment, recycled water pump station, and injection wells. The CCB annual O&M expense is shown in Table 9.

Transfer to Lopez Fund
The Water Fund makes a transfer of funds to the Lopez Fund equal to the cost of purchased water expense.

The total expenses for Lopez water supply include Lopez O&M, capital outlay, Lopez Dam 2011A bond debt service, and State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan debt service. The transfer in FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23 are as budgeted by the City. Future Lopez O&M expense is projected to increase by 3 percent annually and capital outlay and debt service payments are projected to remain constant. The Lopez Water Supply expenses are shown in Table 9 and Appendix A-1.

Water Annual CIP Funding
The Water Fund pays for annual capital needs or the water system identified in the City’s CIP plan. The amount spent annually is irregular and depends on other financing sources to meet the expenditure needs of the City’s CIP. The amount spent in each year of the Study is further discussed below in the Water CIP section.

Debt Service
The City does not have any outstanding debt on the water system other than the debt service payments associated with the Lopez purchased water expense. Under the City’s contract with the County, the City is required to set water rates to provide a 25% coverage factor on the Lopez Dam 2011A bonds debt service. The required coverage ratio is 100 percent after inclusion of this factor.

However, with the construction of the CCB project, the City will incur new debt service from a State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan with a 1 percent interest rate and 30 year term. With this new debt, it is assumed that the required debt service coverage ratio would be 125% and this is included in the water rate adjustments.

Water Capital Improvement Program
The City has developed a CIP provided in Table 10 that lists capital expenditures for FY 2021-22 through FY 2025-

26. Over this period the City projects that it would spend over $4.7 million. The major improvements include phased main replacements, Central Coast Blue project, and other projects including service line replacements, SCADA software acquisition, and studies. The CIP is planned to be funded from the Water Fund with the exception of the CCB project construction which will be financed using an SRF loan.

Water Financial Plan
A financial plan has been prepared that includes the revenues and revenue requirements that were identified for the water system. The financial plan, presented in Table 11, incorporates specific financial planning goals to provide guidance to maintain the health of the water utility on an on-going basis.

The financial goals to maintain the health of enterprise included the following.  Generate positive levels of income in each year of the Study period  Maintain the operating, capital, and Lopez Fund reserves at or greater than target levels  Maintain debt service coverage ratios at or greater than the minimum required  Maintain the annual capital funding requirement
Proposed Revenue Adjustments
Table 11 provides the annual revenue increases recommended to meet the financial planning criteria for the five-year Study Period. The financial plan indicates that 6.4 percent revenue increases are recommended on April 19, 2022 and on each January 1 through FY 2025-26, with increases of 4.0 percent thereafter for the next five years after the Study Period. The increases are necessary to meet the planning criteria discussed above.

A graphical depiction of the revenue and revenue requirements from Table 11 are presented in Figure 1.

Revenue using the current rates is shown as the black line while revenue with revenue adjustments is shown as the red line. The green line represents the cash reserve balance at the end of year (which includes operating, capital and Lopez reserves) while the purple line indicates the Target Reserve level for these reserves.

Figure 1 shows that the revenue increases in Table 11 are necessary to meet annual O&M expense including CCB O&M expense, Lopez purchased water expense, CIP funding, CCB debt service, and the Target reserve maintenance level. The figure shows that the reserve balance (green line) declines in the middle years of the ten-year financial plan but meets the Target reserve level by the last year.

The figure shows that the coverage requirement is currently being met and will continue to be met in the later years with the CCB debt service if the revenue increases proposed in the water financial plan in Table 11 are implemented.

Water Cost of Service
This section of the report discusses the allocation of the water system’s operating and capital costs for use in designing water rates. The agency responsible for imposing property-related fees in California is required to establish rates that create a nexus between the cost of providing service and the rates to be imposed.

Industry Methodology
This Study uses methodologies from the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to allocate costs in an appropriate manner. AWWA is an industry trade organization that provides guidance on operations and management of water utilities. AWWA provides general principles to assist agencies in the design of water rates such that they are consistent with local requirements as well as recognizing state laws. The AWWA guidelines have been used to conduct this Study and have been used in the design of the City’s water rates while also following Proposition 218 and the recent San Juan Capistrano court decision.

The annual costs of providing water service from the financial plan are allocated to cost components following guidelines provided in the AWWA Manual M1. The methodology provides the basis to design rates to generate Figure 2

sufficient revenue to meet estimated annual revenue requirements from the financial plan. Costs are then recovered through fixed charges and variable charges to water system users.

Costs of Service to be Allocated
The annual water cost of service consists of the O&M expenses and capital costs of the water system. O&M expenses include costs related to Lopez water supply, water distribution, operation and maintenance of the facilities, and general and administrative costs. Capital costs include capital improvement program funding and debt service discussed in the financial plan.

Costs are first allocated to water system cost component based on the operating characteristics and design of the water system facilities. Cost allocations consider the average quantity of water consumed as well as the peak rate at which water is consumed. The water system is designed to serve average and peak demands, and costs that are related to serving average and peak demands are allocated in a manner such that they may be recovered appropriately.

The cost allocation components for water service for this Study are Water Supply (groundwater and Lopez water), Delivery, Peaking, Meters and Services, Customer, and Direct Fire Protection. The parameters have been further expanded to recognize those costs that are common to all customers, and those that exclude Wheeling customers. Wheeling customers do not pay for water supply costs. FY 2021-22 was used as the Test Year for assigning the operating and capital costs of the water system to each of these parameters. The total cost to be recovered from the users of the water system by cost component for FY 2021-22 is presented in Table 12.

Appendix A-2 provides a detailed allocation.

Water Rate Design
The cost of service analyses described in the previous section provides the basis for water rate design. The intent of the rate design is to achieve fairness and ensure that each customer class pays its fair share of costs. Rates should be simple to administer, easy to understand, and comply with regulatory requirements. This section describes how water rates and charges are designed and includes the proposed schedule of water rates for implementation.

Proposed Water Rate Structure
The recommended water rate structure includes maintaining the fixed charge structure, however modifying the variable rate structure to (1) revise the tier break points for SFR and MFR customers and (2) provide an individual uniform volume charge for non-residential customers.

Proposed Water Fixed Charges
The proposed fixed charges recover the Customer, Meters and Services, and Lopez debt service costs of service identified from Table 12 and recovers costs allocated to public fire protection. Customer costs are recovered based on the number of bills issued. Meters and Services, Lopez debt service, and public fire protection costs are recovered based on meter and service ratios provided by AWWA.

Tables 13 below presents the design of the proposed monthly fixed charges for customers for FY 2021-22 for a 5/8-inch meter. The current fixed charges generate about 40 percent of revenue from water rates. The proposed fixed charges generate approximately 37 percent of the revenue from water rates.

Fixed charges for meter sizes greater than 5/8-inch are increased as shown below in Table 14 for FY 2021-22. The Meter and Services, Lopez Debt Service, and Public Fire Protection charges increase with meter and service cost ratios while the Customer charge does not increase with meter size.

Proposed Private Fire Protection Fixed Charges
Annual costs allocated to the Fire Protection cost component are separated into Public and Private Fire Protection costs. Public Fire Protection costs are included into the monthly service charges as shown in Table 13. Private Fire Protection costs are recovered from those customers that receive the direct fire protection benefit. The monthly cost by equivalent hydrant (fireline) size is provided in Table 15 and the monthly private fireline charges are designed as shown in Table 16.

Proposed Service Fee per Additional Unit Charge
The City charges for additional dwelling units that are connected to SFR and MFR customers. The charge is 2 HCF of water consumption bi-monthly at the Tier 1 rate. A review of residential customers showed that those that had an additional unit consumed 2 HCF more in use. The additional unit charge is shown on Table 20.

Proposed Water Variable Charges
Variable charges are designed to recover the costs that were allocated to the Water Supply, Delivery, and Peaking components shown in Table 12. Consumption and peaking characteristics of water system customers were analyzed to allocate costs to customer classification as well as between each tier. The water supply, delivery, and peaking costs are discussed below.

Water Supply Costs
The City’s water supply costs include groundwater and Lopez water costs. Total water supply costs are shared uniformly by all customers and are not allocated to rate tiers to differentiate the water supply costs on use because 96 percent of the water produced by the City is from Lopez water and the impact to rates is small.

Delivery Costs
Delivery costs are operating, and capital costs of the water system related to delivering water to all customers at an average rate of use. Delivery costs tend to vary with the total quantity of water consumed under average demand conditions. These costs are also shared uniformly by all customers of the system.

Peaking Costs
Peaking costs are costs associated with meeting peak rates of demand requirements of the water system and include operating and capital costs beyond that required for average rates of use. Water system facilities are Table 15

designed to meet peak demand requirements and are apportioned to customer classes based on their system use characteristics. Peaking costs may be assigned to tiers in a tiered-rate structure based on the customers within the tier that are causing the peak demand.

Proposed Single-family and Multifamily Residential Variable Water Rates For this Study it is proposed that the current three-tier rate structure be maintained for SFR and MFR customers, however the tier break points are proposed to be modified. Tier 1 is defined as consumption to provide basic indoor water use and is based on 2.31 persons per household (pph) from the California Department of Finance estimates using 55 gallons per capita per day (gcpd) resulting in a Tier 1 breakpoint of 10 HCF (2.31 pph x 55 gpcd x 365 days per year ÷ 748 gal per HCF ÷ 6 billing periods per year). Tier 2 is defined as consumption related to outdoor water use up to the average of the SFR summer peak demand which was determined from billing information to be 22 HCF. Tier 3 is defined as water use above Tier 2.

Table 17 provides a summary of the variable rate components applicable to the SFR and MFR classification consisting of Water Supply, Delivery, and Peaking costs. Water Supply and Delivery costs are allocated to tiers based on water consumption in each tier. Peaking costs are allocated to the defined tiers based on the peaking factors that occur from customers within the tiers based on the tier break points discussed above. Tier 1 is considered to have a peaking factor of 1.0, Tier 2 and Tier 3 have peaking factors that reflect the average use per customer within these tiers as a ratio to Tier 1.

The sum of the three component’s unit rates equals the water rates in the tiers for the SFR and MFR classifications.

Table 18 provides the resulting water rate by tier from summing the Water Supply, Delivery, and Peaking unit rates. SFR and MFR customers pay for the same Water Supply and Delivery costs per HCF, however they pay for their individual peaking requirements and associated costs depending on which tier their consumption falls into.

Proposed Non-Residential Variable Water Rates
For Non-Residential customers, it is proposed that these classes have an individual uniform volume rate structure that recognizes a blending of the three components of Water Supply, Delivery, and Peaking costs. However, each classification will recognize the individual peaking characteristics of its class in their variable rate. A uniform variable rate structure is recommended for Non-residential classes as they are intended to have separate irrigation meters. Table 19 below provides the Non-residential variable rates.

Proposed Water Rates
Table 20 presents the proposed fixed charges and variable charges for the water system for the next five years.

Table 20 includes the current fixed and variable rates as well as future water rates for implementation beginning on April 19, 2022 and each January 1 through FY 2025-26. The table also includes the current variable charges by rate tier and the new rate structure for April 19, 2022. Water system fixed and variable charges beyond April 19, 2022 are increased by the percentages shown in the financial plan in Table 11.

Water Rate Survey
A water rate survey was conducted for neighboring communities to the City of Arroyo Grande. Chart 1 compares the Arroyo Grande SFR estimated bi-monthly water bill with those of neighboring communities at the same consumption of 19 HCF bi-monthly. The rate survey includes rate schedules in effect August 2021. Water bills for Arroyo Grande are shown using the current rates and the proposed April 19, 2022 rates. The chart indicates that with the April 2022 water rate structure change, an Arroyo Grande SFR customer using the average bimonthly consumption of 19 HCF will experience a bill that is among the lowest of the communities listed.

Water Rates without Central Coast Blue
This section is provided to illustrate the impact of CCB costs on customer water bills. Water revenue increases could be 4.0 percent annually without CCB as contrasted with 6.4 percent with CCB as shown in Table 23. Table 24 provides the water rates without the CCB project.
