MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director BY: Lynda Horejsi, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Presentation of the City’s investment deposits as of April 30, 2022.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no funding impact to the City related to these reports. However, the City does receive interest revenue based on the interest rate of the investments. No or minimal future staff time is projected.

RECOMMENDATION:

Receive and file the attached report listing investment deposits of the City of Arroyo Grande as of April 30, 2022, as required by Government Code Section 53646(b).

BACKGROUND:

The Administrative Services department has historically submitted to the City Council a monthly report, providing the following information:

1. Type of investment.

2. Financial institution (bank, savings and loan, broker, etc).

3. Date of maturity.

4. Principal amount.

5. Rate of interest.

6. Current market value for all securities having a maturity of more than 12 months.

7. Relationship of the monthly report to the annual statement of investment policy.

Item 8.b.

City Council
Consideration of Statement of Investment Deposits
June 14, 2022

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

This report represents the City’s investments as of April 30, 2022. It includes all investments managed by the City, the investment institution, investment type, book value, maturity date, and rate of interest. As of April 30, 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.

Item 8.c.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director BY: Lynda Horejsi, Accounting Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriation Limit DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Calculating the appropriation limit from tax proceeds is required annually by Propositions 4 and 111, and Government Code section 7900 et seq. Adoption of a Resolution establishing the appropriation limit from tax proceeds for Fiscal Year 2022-23 will ensure compliance with these requirements.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There are no significant fiscal or personnel impacts associated with approval of the appropriation limit.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution establishing the appropriation limit from tax proceeds for Fiscal Year 2022-23.

BACKGROUND:

Annually, the City is required to calculate the expenditure appropriation limit from tax proceeds to determine compliance with Propositions 4 (Gann Initiative) and 111 (Spending Limitation Act of 1990), codified at Government Code section 7900 et seq. This calculation is based on the previous year’s appropriation limit ($25,284,708) multiplied by the per capita personal income percentage increase (7.55%) and multiplied again by the population percentage change (-1.31%). The State Department of Finance provides both the population change and the per capita personal income change for the previous fiscal year.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The City is responsible for dividing citywide revenues between tax and non-tax revenue and applying the formula to the cumulative appropriation limit. For Fiscal Year 2022-23, the appropriation limit has been calculated to be $26,838,434.

Item 8.c.

City Council
Consideration of Approval of Fiscal Year 2022-23 Appropriation Limit June 14, 2022

This calculation means that the City cannot receive more than $26,838,434 in tax-based revenues in Fiscal Year 2022-23. The estimated tax-based revenues the City would receive for the Fiscal Year have been calculated to be $18,582,450, approximately $8.3 million less than the appropriation limit. Therefore, the City is in compliance with Article XIIIB of the California Constitution. It is not anticipated that revenues from a new sales tax measure, if approved by the voters, will exceed this appropriation limit.

ALTERNATIVES:

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

1. Adopt a Resolution establishing the appropriation limit for FY 2022-23; or

2. Revise and adopt a Resolution establishing the appropriation limit for FY 2022-23; or

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Adoption of the Resolution establishing the appropriation limit for FY 2022-23 will ensure that the City is in compliance with Propositions 4 and 111.

DISADVANTAGES:

There are no disadvantages identified with the recommended action.

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 Carmel, City Attorney
BY: Jessica Matson, Legislative & Information Services Director/City Clerk SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding a Transaction and Use Tax (“Sales Tax”)
DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

The Ordinance adds Chapter 3.23 to the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (“AGMC”) regarding a Transaction & Use Tax (“Sales Tax”). The Ordinance will become effective if the voters approve the proposed Sales Tax measure at the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no financial impact from adopting the Ordinance. However, if approved by the voters, the sales tax measure would generate approximately $5.6 million in additional annual revenue. As a general tax, the proceeds would be deposited into the General Fund and may be used for any lawful purpose, as designated by the City Council, including maintaining the City’s streets, sidewalks, and stormwater infrastructure, as well as for other underfunded City programs and services.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt an Ordinance adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding a Transaction and Use Tax.

BACKGROUND:

On May 28, 2019, the City Council discussed the City’s revenue and potential opportunities to increase revenue in the face of rising business costs (Attachment 6). At that time, the staff report recognized the work of previous assessments of unfunded or severely underfunded needs for core City infrastructure, including pavement (roads and parking lots), sidewalks, drainage facilities, parks, and government buildings (Attachment 9). These assessments indicated that, at the time, the City needed to invest an additional

Item 8.e.

City Council
Consideration of Adoption of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding a Transaction and Use Tax (“Sales Tax”) June 14, 2022

$2.4 million annually to maintain existing facilities. It was also noted that this investment would still result in a decrease in the pavement condition index (PCI) of the City’s existing street infrastructure over time and that an additional $1.16 million would be needed to keep the PCI at 70 and avoid larger maintenance costs in the future. Together, these needs totaled over $3.5 million in unfunded annual infrastructure maintenance in May 2019.

Following discussion on May 28, 2019, Council directed staff to seek more information about community surveys and the ballot measure process for a potential local sales tax increase. Further information was provided regarding community survey options on August 13, 2019, and Council authorized the City Manager to select a professional research firm to conduct a statistically valid voter opinion survey of Arroyo Grande voters.

On January 28, 2020, Council received a presentation of the community survey results from True North Research (Attachment 5).

At its June 23, 2020 meeting, the City Council received a comprehensive presentation regarding a proposed revenue measure to address the City’s future funding needs and provided direction to staff to prepare a proposed 1% (increasing from 7.75% to 8.75%) local sales tax revenue measure for the November 3, 2020 ballot (Attachment 4). On July 14, 2020, the City Council considered placing the Local Transaction and Use Tax Measure on the November 3, 2020 Ballot. Extensive Council discussion ensued and, ultimately, Council did not direct pursuit of a measure at that time, primarily due to the unknown financial impacts on the City’s residents as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

On April 27, 2021, the City Council considered and established goals and priorities for incorporation into the upcoming Biennial Budget. The adopted goals and priories were included within the Fiscal Years 2021-23 Biennial Budget and addressed three broad categories:
 Investing in the Future
 Investing in City Infrastructure and Facilities
 Investing in People.

Within the “Investing in City Infrastructure and Facilities” category, an item was included to “identify and pursue short- and long-term funding mechanisms, such as a sales tax measure, for pavement maintenance and other infrastructure maintenance needs.” At its April 26, 2022 meeting, the City Council received a comprehensive report and presentation regarding the City’s pavement, sidewalk, and stormwater infrastructure maintenance needs and options for financing those needs, including a potential general revenue sales tax measure (Attachment 3). As reported in the 2022 Pavement Management Program Update presented on April 26, 2022, despite past efforts, the condition of the City’s streets has significantly declined. On a pavement condition scale

Item 8.e.

City Council
Consideration of Adoption of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding a Transaction and Use Tax (“Sales Tax”) June 14, 2022

of 0 to 100, the City’s streets now rank an average PCI of 56, down from an average PCI of 69 in 2016. As explained in the April 26, 2022 staff report, in order to maintain an overall PCI of “Fair” (PCI range of 51 to 70), approximately $6.25 million is needed annually to maintain the City’s current pavement PCI. However, the City has historically only been able to allocate approximately $1.25 million annually to pavement maintenance from its existing revenue sources.

At the April 26, 2022 meeting, staff recommended that a potential new 1% sales tax measure include the following provisions that provide accountability and transparency, consistent with the practices included in Measure O-06:
 Publication of an Annual Local Sales Tax Allocation Report  Public hearing to determine ongoing necessity for the tax every 5 years Following consideration and discussion of the presentation on April 26, 2022, the City Council provided direction to staff to prepare a proposed 1% (increasing from 7.75% to

8.75%) local sales tax revenue measure for the November 8, 2022 ballot.

At its May 24, 2022 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolutions and introduced the Ordinance enabling the voters to determine at the November 8, 2022 General Municipal Election whether to enact a local transactions and use tax (“sales tax”) that would provide additional general revenue to the City (Attachment 2).

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

Revenue and Taxation Code Section 7285.9 authorizes the City to increase a transactions and use tax for general purposes, and provides that the ordinance proposing the tax is to be approved by a two-thirds vote of all members of that governing body.

Likewise, for general taxes, Government Code Section 53724(b) provides that the ordinance or resolution proposing the tax must be approved by a 2/3rd vote of the legislative body. The required Ordinance was introduced by a unanimous vote of the City Council on May 24, 2022, and is now ready for adoption. Pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance, it is subject to voter approval and will not be effective unless approved by a majority of voters on November 8, 2022.

ALTERNATIVES:

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

1. Adopt the Ordinance adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code regarding a Transaction and Use Tax; or

2. Provide other direction to staff.

Item 8.e.

City Council
Consideration of Adoption of an Ordinance Adding Chapter 3.23 to Title 3 of the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code Regarding a Transaction and Use Tax (“Sales Tax”) June 14, 2022

ADVANTAGES:

Adopting the Ordinance will meet the provisions required by the California Elections, Revenue and Taxation, and Government Codes for submitting to the voters a measure relating to the establishment of a local sales tax in the City.

DISADVANTAGES:

No disadvantages have been identified.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

Adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from environmental review as the adoption of this Ordinance does not qualify as a “project” pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, under Public Resource Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15320, 15378, and 15061(b)(3), as there is no possibility that such action would cause either a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment.

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. A Summary of the Ordinance was published in the Newspaper in accordance with Government Code Section 40806.

ORDINANCE NO
PAGE 2

For the purpose of this chapter the following words terms shall have the meaning given in this section:

3.11.040 prior to such date, the operative date shall be the first day of the first calendar quarter following the execution of such a contract.

D. To adopt a retail transactions and use tax that can be administered in a manner that will, to the greatest degree possible, be consistent with the provisions of Part1.6 of Division 2 of the said Revenue and Taxation Code, and thereby minimize the cost of collecting city transactions and use taxes, and at the same time minimize the burden of record keeping upon persons subject to taxation under the provisions thereof.

June 14, 2022
Dear City Council Members,
8e - I protest a tax increase and encourage you to consider the many negative ramifications of passing it. With gas, food, childcare, and other items at an all-time high, this will only further hurt the hard-working families that make up this community. Tourism isn't high enough to justify a 1% tax, especially with fewer and fewer events occurring and gas prices. 9c - I also protest this resolution and encourage you, again, to stop passing items that only hurt the community in which you serve. ADUs serve as a great way for families to help each other. With your proposal, if I wanted to add an ADU for in-laws or adult children, I’d have to provide an offsite parking space. With the propose “street diet” for my street, we will lose ALL parking in front of our home. It’s a silly loop that needs to be considered.

Please stop adding hotels that we do not want and do not need. Clearly the TOT isn’t paying for roads, and we don’t have adequate water supplies and we’re in a drought.

A.Miller
Arroyo Grande resident

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 COVID-19 Pandemic and Authorizing the Continuance of Remote Teleconference Meetings of the Legislative Bodies Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3) DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Adoption of the Resolution will continue the declared local emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic and will also enable the City to continue to comply with the requirements of legislation, AB 361, to authorize the continued use of teleconferencing for meetings of the City’s legislative bodies.

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 and authorizing the continuance of remote teleconference meetings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3).

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.

Item 8.f.

City Council
Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Declaring a Continued Local Emergency Related to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Authorizing the Continuance of Remote Teleconference Meetings of the Legislative Bodies Pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3)
June 14, 2022

In addition, AB 361 amended Government Code Section 54953, adding a new subsection (e) that permits legislative bodies, when there is a proclaimed State of Emergency declared by the Governor pursuant to Government Code Section 8625, to make a determination to authorize meeting remotely via teleconferencing as a result of the emergency. To do so, a resolution would need to be adopted in which the legislative body finds that meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, or that State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.

The City Council first adopted a Resolution making findings in accordance with AB 361 and Government Code Section 54953(e) at its September 28, 2021 meeting. The Resolution is valid for thirty (30) days after teleconferencing for the first time under the new regulations. If the State of Emergency remains active after that 30 day period, the local agency may act to renew its resolution authorizing remote teleconferenced meetings by passing another resolution which includes findings that the State of Emergency declaration remains active, the local agency has reconsidered the circumstances of the State of Emergency, and the local agency has either identified: A) ongoing, direct impacts to the ability to meet safely in-person, or B) active social distancing measures as directed by relevant State or local officials.

In the past, the City has adopted separate resolutions related to the continuing emergency declaration and the continuance of remote teleconference meetings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3). Staff has combined the two items into one resolution to eliminate the need for separate agenda items.

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 emergency related to the 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. In addition, the Resolution will allow the City to continue conducting its public meetings via teleconference. The Resolution includes continued findings based upon a determination that, as a result of the proclaimed State of Emergency in California due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its continued spread in San Luis Obispo County and Arroyo Grande

through the Omicron, BA2 and other variants of SARS-CoV-2, which are far more transmissible than prior variants of the virus and, as even fully vaccinated individuals can spread the virus to others, holding meetings in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.

While the Resolution provides authority for the City to continue conducting public meetings remotely for the next thirty (30) days, the City has also determined to resume meetings in-person prior to the expiration of that thirty-day period, and conducted the City Council meetings beginning on March 8, 2022, as in-person meetings at Council Chambers while also retaining an option for the public, staff, and consultants to participate via Zoom. It is recommended that the proposed Resolution be adopted to continue to provide flexibility for future meetings of the City Council and its advisory bodies in the event that guidance from the State or County Health Officers changes within the next thirty (30) days. This flexibility will also allow members of the City Council or advisory bodies to attend meetings remotely if they also desire or if they are required to quarantine due to exposure to COVID-19.

Based upon the foregoing, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the emergency declaration and also authorizing the continuance of remote teleconference meetings pursuant to Government Code Section 54953(e)(3).

ALTERNATIVES:

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

1. Adopt the Resolution declaring the need to continue the declared local emergency and authorizing the continuance of remote teleconference meetings;

2. Do not adopt the Resolution; or

3. 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. It will also satisfy the requirements of Government Code Section 54953(e)(3) and allow the City to safely continue carrying out its business in a manner that will minimize the risk of contracting COVID-19 for everyone involved.

DISADVANTAGES:

No disadvantages have been identified to adopting the Resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

No environmental review is required for this item.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
BY: Sarah Lansburgh, Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Arroyo Grande Tourism Business Improvement District Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget
DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Approve the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 operating budget for the Arroyo Grande Tourism Business Improvement District (AGTBID).

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The AGTBID budget provides $5,000 to the City to cover a portion of the City’s cost associated with supporting a Community Services Specialist position for vacation rental code compliance. The AGTBID budget also provides $3,000 to the City for administrative support. The AGTBID budget has been incorporated into the FY 2022-23 Mid-Cycle Budget Update as part of the Special Revenue Funds, Fund 240. The budget proposes $293,000 in expenditures, which is an increase of $63,500 compared to the FY 2021-22 AGTBID operating budget.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution approving the FY 2022-23 operating budget for the AGTBID.

BACKGROUND:

In May 2013, the City Council adopted an Ordinance establishing the AGTBID. The AGTBID was formed under the Parking and Business improvement Law of 1989, Sections 36500 et. seq. of the Streets and Highways Code and incorporated into the Arroyo Grande Municipal Code (AGMC) in Title 3, Chapter 3.46. The purpose of forming the AGTBID was to provide revenue to defray the cost of services, activities, and programs promoting lodging businesses in the AGTBID through the promotion of scenic, recreational, cultural, and other attractions in the AGTBID as a tourist destination.

Item 8.g.

City Council
Consideration of Adoption of a Resolution Approving the Arroyo Grande Tourism Business Improvement District Fiscal Year 2022-23 Budget June 14, 2022

The AGTBID has been in effect for almost nine (9) years and has been considered successful. In January 2018, the City Council combined the Tourism Marketing Committee, which was coordinated by the Chamber of Commerce, and the AGTBID Advisory Board, increasing the number of members of the Advisory Board from a minimum of three (3) to not more than nine (9). The Advisory Board implements the programs and activities funded through the AGTBID. The South County Chamber of Commerce is contracted to administer the AGTBID program; therefore, minimal staff time has been required by the City.

The AGTBID Advisory Board is responsible for developing an annual preliminary budget, detailing anticipated expenditures and submitting the preliminary budget to City Council for approval. At the May 23, 2022 AGTBID special meeting, the Advisory Board reviewed a preliminary budget for recommendation to the City Council.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The FY 2021-22 AGTBID operating budget provided $229,500 for expenditures and included funding in the following categories:

AGTBID assessments have exceeded projections for FY 2021-22 despite the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the financial update provided to the AGTBID Advisory Board on April 25, 2022, revenues are expected to exceed adopted FY 2021-22 budget by approximately $110,000, and the ending fund balance is anticipated to be $325,075. Total revenues from TBID assessments are anticipated to be $246,200.

The proposed budget for FY 2022-23 is as follows:

The City’s allocation of SB1 funding for FY 2022-23 is projected to be $388,740. This funding will be utilized to maintain the City’s street system. With this allocation, and the City’s Gas Tax funding of $502,326 the total funding available from the State for street and road maintenance is $891,066.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Adopt a Resolution approving a list of projects to be funded by SB1 in Fiscal Year 2022-23; and 2) Authorize the Director of Administrative Services to submit the Resolution to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).

BACKGROUND:

On April 28, 2017, the Governor signed SB1, known as the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. SB1 increases gasoline and diesel taxes and vehicle registration fees to address deferred maintenance on the State highway system and the local street and road system. These additional taxes are deposited by the State Controller into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA). A portion of this funding is apportioned by formula to eligible cities and counties, including Arroyo Grande, pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code (SHC) Section 2032(h) and are to be

Item 8.h.

used for basic road maintenance, rehabilitation, and critical safety projects on the local streets and roads system.

Because SB1 emphasizes accountability and transparency in transportation funding, programming and use of the new funds is contingent on recipient cities and counties providing annual project reporting. Per SHC Section 2034(a)(1), prior to receiving any RMRA funding, cities and counties must submit a list of projects, adopted by Resolution, to be funded with the RMRA funds.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

SHC Section 2030(b) provides a number of example projects and uses for RMRA funding that include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
 Safety Projects
 Railroad Grade Separations
 Complete Streets Components, including active transportation purposes, pedestrian and bicycle safety projects, transit facilities, and drainage and storm water capture projects in conjunction with any other allowable project  Traffic Control Devices
 Matching funds to State or federal funds for projects under this subdivision Pursuant to SHC Section 2037, a city or county may spend its apportionment of RMRA funds on transportation priorities other than those outlined in SHC Section 2030 if the city’s or county’s average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) meets or exceeds 80. The City of Arroyo Grande’s current PCI is estimated to be 56.

The City maintains its 67.5 miles of streets through two mechanisms: The City’s in-house street crew that provides daily efforts to keep the condition of streets from declining, and capital projects to provide long term maintenance. Based on the SHC, the City can use its RMRA funds for either of these services. Historically, the City has utilized its RMRA funds to augment the City’s pavement management program for upcoming roadway rehabilitation projects as opposed to allocating the funds to the City’s in-house street maintenance program. This has been staff’s recommendation to Council due to uncertainties that would be created by a decline in RMRA revenues or a possible repeal of SB1. In these events, it would be less impactful to cut a specific project or a portion thereof than to reduce the City’s in-house street maintenance program that addresses constant, immediate short- and medium-term street safety issues (e.g., debris removal, potholes, skin patching, re-striping, storm water and drainage repairs, etc.).

In accordance with California Streets and Highway Code (SHC) Section 2036, the City must maintain its existing commitment of local funds for street purposes to remain eligible for allocations of RMRA funds. This commitment is generally referred to as Maintenance

of Effort (MOE). In order to receive these RMRA funds, each year the City must expend from its General Fund for street purposes an amount not less than the annual average of General Fund expenditures during fiscal years (FY) 2009-10, FY 2010-11 and FY 2011- 12, as reported to the State Controller’s Office, pursuant to SHC Section 2151. For the City of Arroyo Grande, the amount of annual expenditures that must be spent from the General Fund for street purposes is $1,431,971.

Additionally, SHC Section 2034(a)(1) details the requirement that cities and counties must comply with when submitting its list of proposed projects to the CTC to be funded with RMRA funds each fiscal year. The requirements include:

1. The proposed projects must be adopted by Resolution by the City Council at a regular public meeting

2. A description and the location of each proposed project

3. A proposed schedule for the project’s completion

4. The estimated useful life of the improvement
The State has provided an estimate for the amount of FY 2022-23 RMRA funding available to the City of Arroyo Grande as $388,740. It is recommended these RMRA funds be used to augment the City’s pavement management program. As the City just recently updated its Pavement Management Program Report and its findings in April 2022, a list of streets and recommended rehabilitation has not yet been identified for the City’s next annual pavement management project. Therefore, it is recommended that the Resolution state that specific sections and limits of roadways on which treatment will be applied will be prioritized and selected during the project development phase of the project based on identified needs.

ALTERNATIVES:

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

1. Adopt a Resolution approving a list of projects to be funded by SB1 in Fiscal Year 2022-23;

2. Do not approve a Resolution approving a list of projects to be funded by SB1 in Fiscal Year 2022-23 and request further information;

3. Modify staff’s recommendation and adopt a Resolution approving a list of projects to be funded by SB1 in Fiscal Year 2022-23; or

4. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Submitting a list of projects to the CTC will allow the City to receive RMRA funds. The projects will help to protect the City’s investment in its roadway system and maintain the roadways before they deteriorate beyond routine maintenance.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael T. Martinez, Chief of Police
BY: Zak Ayala, Police Commander
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Arroyo Grande Police Department and the Lucia Mar Unified School District for School Resource Officer Services, Fiscal Year 2022-23
DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding (agreement) with the Lucia Mar Unified School District will authorize the continued sharing of costs for an Arroyo Grande Police Officer to provide School Resource Officer Services for the 2022/2023 school year.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The cost of the school Resource Officer position is approximately $157,500 for Fiscal Year 2022-23. The proposed agreement shares the cost of the salary and benefits associated with the officer between the City and Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD). The City will receive fifty percent (50%) of the cost from LMUSD, totaling $78,750. These funds are included as estimated revenues in the proposed Mid-Cycle Budget Update for FY 2022-23.

RECOMMENDATION:

Approve and authorize the Chief of Police to execute an agreement between the City of Arroyo Grande and the Lucia Mar Unified School District to share the cost of salary and benefits for one School Resource Officer position in Fiscal Year 2022-23.

BACKGROUND:

The Arroyo Grande Police Department has been providing School Resource Officer (SRO) services to the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) since the early 1990’s.

The SRO Program is a collaborative effort between the Arroyo Grande Police Department and the LMUSD with the goal of reducing crime, drug abuse, violence, and providing a safe school environment. The SRO is a full-time police officer whose primary function is to address law enforcement concerns at their respective schools. The AGPD

and LMUSD work closely in selecting the SRO by identifying specific traits that are essential to working in a school environment. The SRO works closely with school officials and administrators to develop positive relationships with the community, students, parents and school officials. While the position is housed at, and primarily assigned to, Arroyo Grande High School, the SRO is responsible for responding to requests from Paulding Middle School, Ocean View and Harloe Elementary schools. The SRO interacts with students from a variety of ages and backgrounds, often serving in a mentorship role.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The LMUSD has requested SRO services be provided for the 2022-2023 school year.

The term of the agreement begins July 1, 2022, and ends June 30, 2023. This agreement is reviewed and considered annually.

The SRO position has been in existence since the 1990’s and staff believes this program is extremely important to the City’s public safety services and should be maintained.

Given the City’s demographics, a substantial portion of public safety issues are youth related. If the position were not dedicated to schools, it would require other Police Department patrol personnel to respond to a large volume of school related calls for service. The SRO historically provides advantages and efficiency of personal relationships and collaboration from being teamed with school administration to address safety issues in a proactive role, rather than responding after the fact.

Another highlight of this program is the ability for the SRO to provide counseling to students on both a formal and informal basis. The SRO regularly interacts with students and is often viewed as a role model. The SRO provides opportunities to forge beneficial relationships with staff and students, all the while being a visible deterrent to crime and other untoward behavior. The relationships that SRO’s establish with students are enduring beyond students’ graduation for personal and professional development. Onsite law enforcement provides familiarity with the layout of the campuses and administration, as well as providing quick assistance with student safety emergencies.

During the LMUSD 2021-2022 school year (specifically July 1, 2021 to May 19, 2022), the SRO responded to 310 calls for service and completed 55 police reports. The Police Department has developed guidelines for the SRO with a multifaceted approach to provide services given the many health and safety requirements set forth by the State.

The LMUSD has agreed to partner with the Police Department for another year of this program supporting the need to provide this valuable resource to the students, staff and the community.

2. Do not approve the agreement;

3. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

The LMUSD will help the City of Arroyo Grande continue enhanced school safety by sharing fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the salary and benefits associated with the actual officer assigned to the SRO position.

1. Proposed School Resource Officer Memorandum of Understanding

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
A. Mission Statement
The community of Arroyo Grande, the Lucia Mar Unified School District, and the Arroyo Grande Police Department are significantly impacted by demands to address incidents and situations directly or indirectly related to juveniles and the schools. The problems of juvenile delinquency, alcoholic beverage and illegal substance abuse, gang involvement, and other youth-related problems that negatively affect the community and the schools can be best addressed in a pro-active, interactive and preventive manner.

Effective education requires a safe and orderly environment in which learning can occur. Consequently, the Arroyo Grande Police Department and the Lucia Mar Unified School District jointly propose to implement the School Resource Officer (SRO) program within the Lucia Mar Unified School District for schools located within the City of Arroyo Grande. The mission of the SRO program shall be to provide appropriate law enforcement resources and a school-based approach to the development of a positive relationship among students, staff and the police, the maintenance of a safe learning environment and the prevention of juvenile delinquency, alcoholic beverage and illegal substance abuse, and gang involvement by our community's youth.

In order to facilitate a proper working relationship between the school administration and the SRO, it is important to establish, maintain, and update specific guidelines and procedures to be followed by the SRO and school administrators.

This Memorandum of Understanding clarifies the roles of the SRO and school administrators, their scope of authority, and the respective responsibilities of the Lucia Mar Unified School District and the Arroyo Grande Police Department in this collaboration. The success of this program relies on effective communication among the SRO, school administrators, and other key staff members of each organization.

All references in this Memorandum of Understanding to responsibilities and obligations of the Lucia Mar Unified School District, the Arroyo Grande Police Department, and the City of Arroyo Grande are applicable only to schools located within the City of Arroyo Grande.

Under the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding, the Lucia Mar Unified School District and the Arroyo Grande Police Department agree that the duties, responsibilities and physical presence of the SRO are not limited to the Arroyo Grande High School but include all schools in the Lucia Mar Unified School District within the City of Arroyo Grande.

LMUSD-AGPD.

ATTACHMENT 1

8. Concept
The SRO program shall utilize the SRO Triad concept as set forth by the NASRO National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) that is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The SRO Triad concept generally means that the officers assigned to the SRO program are law enforcement officers, counselors and teachers. The SRO is first and foremost a law enforcement officer for the City of Arroyo Grande. The SRO shall be responsible for carrying out all duties and responsibilities of a Police Officer and shall ultimately at all times remain under the control of the Arroyo Grande Police Department and its policies and procedures.

The SRO will comply with the policies and procedures of the Lucia Mar Unified School District to the extent that such policies and regulations do not conflict with those of the Arroyo Grande Police Department or the City of Arroyo Grande, are not in conflict with other tenns in this Memorandum of Understanding, and are not in conflict with federal, state, or local laws. The SRO is an enforcement officer in CRIMINAL matters only. The SRO shall not enforce any school or classroom rules. The SRO is not a school disciplinarian and should not assume -this role. The SRO shall not involve themselves in administrative matters of Lucia Mar Unified School District that do not relate to the duties and responsibilities of the SRO. The SRO is not a formal counselor and will not act as such; however, the SRO may be used as a resource to assist students, parents, school staff and all persons involved with the Lucia Mar Unified School District. The SRO may also be used as a teacher and can instruct in a variety of subjects ranging from alcoholic beverage and illegal substance abuse to citizenship and community responsibilities. The SRO may use teaching to build rapport between the students and the staff.

C. Description of General Duties

1. The SRO is a sworn Arroyo Grande Police Officer assigned to provide the law enforcement expertise and resources to assist school staff in maintaining safety and order within the assigned school(s) and in the prevention and control of crime, juvenile delinquency, truancy and disorder on school campuses and in the immediate area of the school campuses if students may reasonably be involved through the enforcement of applicable state statutes and Municipal Codes as appropriate.

2. The SRO will conduct or assist in the investigation of incidents on school campuses.

3. The SRO may assist in the coordination of the efforts of other law enforcement agencies on the school campuses.

4. The SRO will be considered an active member of the administrative team in his/her assigned school(s).

LMUSD-AGPD 2

The Lucia Mar Unified School District shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the salary and benefits associated with the actual officer assigned to the SRO position. Such cost shall include salary; retirement; Social Security; medical, dental and vision insurance; Workers' Compensation; uniform allowance; life insurance, employee assistance plan, bilingual, and educational incentive pay, if applicable; and all additional costs that are or may become applicable for the assigned SRO due to the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Grande Police Officers Association, changes that may be negotiated in the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Arroyo Grande and the Arroyo Grande Police Officers Association or a change in the assigned SRO during the term of this Memorandum of Understanding between the Lucia Mar Unified School District and the Arroyo Grande Police Department. The Arroyo Grande Police Department shall be responsible for the remaining fifty percent (50%) of those same costs.

The Lucia Mar Unified School District shall transmit one-half (1/2) of its share of the program costs in one payment to the City of Arroyo Grande invoiced in September of the annual term of the Memorandum of Understanding and the remaining one-half (1/2) of its share of the program costs in another payment to the City of Arroyo Grande invoiced in February of the annual term of the Memorandum of Understanding. Both payments shall be due in full no later than 30 days after invoice.

It is the expectation of the Lucia Mar Unified School District that the SRO shall not accrue overtime for school-related duties and responsibilities. In addition, if the presence of the SRO at a school-related special event outside normal school hours is reasonably appropriate, the SRO should adjust his/her work schedule to eliminate any potential overtime expense associated with the special event. Any overtime expense for the SRO that cannot be eliminated shall be the responsibility of the Arroyo Grande Police Department.

Lucia Mar Unified School District shall provide a district cell phone for the SRO assigned to Arroyo Grande High School.

M. Termination
This Memorandum of Understanding may be terminated without cause either by the Arroyo Grande Police Department or the Lucia Mar Unified School District upon ninety (90) days written notice. Upon termination, any funds provided the Lucia Mar Unified School District shall be pro-rated and returned as appropriate to the Lucia Mar Unified School District.

01.01.00 Administrative Standards Compliance

01.01.01 Definition
A school resource officer (SRO) is a full-time law
enforcement officer with sworn law enforcement authority, trained in school-based policing and crisis response,
assigned by the employing law enforcement agency to work with the school using community-oriented policing
concepts.
(M)

01.01.02 Purpose
The purpose of a successful SRO program is to “bridge
the gap” between law enforcement and youth. This purpose is best accomplished by using the TRIAD model: Law
Enforcement (LEO), Teacher (Guest Speaker), and
Informal Counselor (Mentor). Each element of the TRIAD
will be further explained throughout this document.
(R)

01.01.03 Knowledge and Support from Agency Administration For the SRO program to be successful, the law
enforcement agency head and the superintendent of the
school district must understand and fully support the SRO program, including an understanding of the standards and best practices put forth in this document.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or a similar
contractual document should be established between the operating law enforcement agency and the school district. This document will assist in developing program goals and evaluating the program to assess the success in meeting identified goals.

Example MOU topics include but are not limited to:
 Defining the roles and responsibilities of formal school discipline (M)
o SROs should not be administering formal school
discipline such as detentions, suspensions, or
expulsions. These decisions are the sole
responsibility of the school personnel.
 SROs act in accordance with the recommended TRIAD
roles (R)
o As a law enforcement officer, the SRO shall abide by
federal, state, and local laws.
o As an informal counselor/mentor, the SRO may

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Sheridan Bohlken, Recreation Services Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with Lucia Mar Unified School District to Provide Fr Click or tap to enter a date.ee Child Care through the Bright Futures Expanded Learning Opportunities Program
DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) (Attachment 1) will provide a mechanism to offer free child care to families during “expanded learning opportunities” during the 2022 summer break. By doing so, the City will be reimbursed through the Bright Futures Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) grant to provide child care at Ocean View Elementary School. While this grant has the potential to continue for the 2022-23 school year for before school, after school, and/or other school breaks and expand to Branch Elementary School, this MOU addresses the first phase of the program to be offered to students enrolled in summer school at Ocean View Elementary.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

The components of the MOU for the ELOP have taken several months to define in parameters that meet both the requirements of the grant and child care programming offered by the City. Staff has met with LMUSD representatives and researched how to meet these requirements (approximately 15 hours), evaluating costs, staffing and facility availability. As presented, the partnership offers a $50 reimbursement to the City per day per student with a minimum payment for 50 students (regardless of enrollment), in addition to a one-time $1,000 partner provider fee. Additionally, materials, guest speakers and other supplies will be reimbursed through ELOP. The proposed Mid-Cycle Budget Update for Fiscal Year 2022-23 includes an estimated $126,000 in total revenue and expenditures for the summer program.

RECOMMENDATION:

Item 8.j.

City Council
Consideration of Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding with Lucia Mar Unified School District to Provide Fr Click or tap to enter a date.ee Child Care through the Bright Futures Expanded Learning Opportunities Program June 14, 2022

Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU with LMUSD for the City to provide child care free of charge to students enrolled in summer school at Ocean View Elementary and be reimbursed through the ELOP grant.

BACKGROUND:

The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) provides state grant funding (Assembly Bill [AB] 130, Chapter 44, Statutes of 2021, as amended by AB 167, Chapter 252, Statutes of 2021) for afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for kindergarten (including transitional kindergarten) through sixth grades. Statewide, educational agencies are receiving $1.75 billion dollars in Fiscal Year 2021-22 with an anticipated growth to $5 billion dollars within the next 3-5 years.

It is the intent of the Legislature that expanded learning programs funded through the ELOP are student-centered, results driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate, learning activities in the regular school day and school year. “Expanded learning” refers to before school, after school, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests of pupils through hands-on, engaging learning experiences.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

LMUSD has received funding allocations for the ELOP and began conversation with City’s Recreation Services Department in January, 2022 to provide services fulfilling the grant requirements. As the City is a child care provider at two LMUSD elementary school sites, partnership with the City was requested to provide ELOP programming first at Ocean View Elementary during the summer of 2022. As this program is intended to continue forward at all elementary schools in the LMUSD for the 2022-2023 school year, planning is currently underway and a separate MOU will be brought forward at a future date for the program to be offered at both Ocean View and Branch Elementary schools. For the summer program, meetings were held between City and LMUSD staff to discuss grant requirements, steps towards program implementation, cost of services and program needs.

Rates of reimbursement have been calculated for the cost of services and have been determined to be $50 per day per student for the first phase of the program in summer 2022. For summer programming, hours of operation will be from 12:30pm-6pm, Monday through Thursday. While the ELOP will only be available to students attending summer school, the City will be offering a regularly scheduled day camp program at Ocean View Elementary school, Monday-Friday, 7am-6pm, open for registration to any child in TK through 6th grade.

Through conversation with LMUSD on how to operate the ELOP (Attachment 2) and how partnering with the City would be best, the school district has agreed to provide materials, support and facilities. The proposed MOU with LMUSD for ELOP requires that the City:

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Nicole Valentine, Administrative Services Director SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Solid Waste Rates
DATE: June 14, 2022
SUMMARY OF ACTION:

Conduct a public hearing, consider protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate adjustment set forth in the notice of public hearing provided to solid waste rate customers based on the Solid Waste Rate Review, and if there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing solid waste rates for June 15, 2022, January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024.

IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:

There is no impact on staff resources related to the proposed action. There will be a minor increase in franchise fee revenue from the increase and a minor increase to the City’s cost for solid waste collection. If the proposed multi-year rate setting approach is approved, future personnel resources will not be required to prepare interim year reviews, thus providing an operational efficiency. Pursuant to the City’s existing Franchise Agreement with South County Sanitary Service (SCSS), the costs of consultant services to review SCSS’s rate adjustment request are paid by SCSS.

RECOMMENDATION:
1) Conduct a public hearing and consider protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate adjustments identified in the notice of public hearing, based on the Solid Waste Rate Review; and 2) If there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing new Solid Waste rates effective June 15, 2022, January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024.

BACKGROUND:

The City has had a Franchise Agreement with SCSS, a subsidiary of Waste Connections, for collection, diversion and disposal of solid waste in the City since 1997. On June 10, 2008, a new Solid Waste Collection Franchise Agreement with SCSS was approved and the Franchise Agreement was subsequently amended twice in 2016. The Franchise Agreement was amended a third time in April 2022 to address necessary changes and requirements associated with Senate Bill (SB) 1383. Through the terms of the Franchise

Item 9.a.

City Council
Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Solid Waste Rates
June 14, 2022

Agreement, SCSS is entitled to compensation for its “labor, equipment, materials and supplies, taxes, insurance, bonds, overhead, transfer and transport, processing, division, disposal, provide and all other things necessary to perform all of the services required by [the] Agreement.” This compensation is received through the rates and charges paid by the City’s customers, which are presented to the City through rate review applications and reviewed by the City Council through the Proposition 218 process.

Per the Franchise Agreement, rates are reviewed in accordance with the “City of San Luis Obispo Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates” (Manual). The Franchise Agreement allows for a base rate adjustment every three years and interim rate increases in the other two years. In interim rate periods, the operator is limited to increases resulting from inflation, tipping fee adjustments, and franchise or regulatory fee increases. During base rate years, the operator is able to request adjustments due to changes in other operational costs as set forth in the Manual.

The following table summarizes the SCSS rate review history beginning in 2005 (based on the year of the application (which is typically the implementation year):

Item 9.a.

City Council

June 14, 2022

The City received an initial rate adjustment request from SCSS on October 20, 2021, and a revised draft application on February 18, 2022, that included a base year rate increase request of 24.65%. Along with the Cities of Grover Beach and Pismo Beach, and the Oceano Community Services District, the City jointly contracted with consultant William C. Statler to prepare a review of the rate increase request to determine if it complies with the provisions of the Manual. The Manual ensures that the hauler’s rates are justifiable and supportable, and reflect the cost of providing the service; it also ensures that there is ongoing review and rate stability, and that the rate setting process is easy to administer and implement. With the assistance of Mr. Statler, the City completes a formal and thorough review of the financial and operating data to protect the City’s ratepayers. The process is designed to prevent large, unexpected fluctuations in rates anticipated from funding a broadening scope of integrated waste management services.

After careful review of the rate adjustment requests from SCSS and relevant supporting documentation, Mr. Statler completed a comprehensive report (Report) evaluating the request and suggesting that a 22.19% increase is justifiable in 2022. The key drivers behind the proposed 22.19% rate increase for 2022 can be summarized as follows:
 8.05% for truck depreciation
 7.71% for investments in food and green waste recycling  2.41% for insurance
 1.06% for increase in gas and oil
 2.96% for all other cost increase including labor, ongoing maintenance, and other pass-through costs
In addition, SCSS proposes to include the next two interim rate adjustments in its request at this time. These rates are proposed to increase each of the next two years to address the following factors:

1. Changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for “controllable” operating costs. The Manual states that the annual change in CPI will be based on the published Bureau of Labor Statistics in their Monthly review.

2. Changes in “pass-through costs” (primarily landfill tipping fees, which are set by the County Board of Supervisors and are not controlled by SCSS).

On April 12, 2022, the City Council reviewed the Solid Waste Rate Review report completed by Mr. Statler (Attachment 2) and received a presentation from Mr. Statler.

The staff report from the April 12, 2022 meeting is provided as Attachment 3.

As explained during the April 12, 2022 presentation, Mr. Statler’s report includes a discussion of Delayed Rate Implementation increases on page 3, which describes a proposal to allow SCSS to recoup increased costs that have been incurred during delays in the consideration of the rate review application. The City has not previously approved delayed implementation rates. However, the Manual does provide for this possibility if

Item 9.a.

City Council
Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Solid Waste Rates
June 14, 2022

there is a delay in implementation of a rate increase of more than 120 days after application if it is “no fault of the franchise hauler.” Given the initial October 20, 2021 submittal date, this would indicate rate approval may have been necessary by March 1.

Two of the factors that mitigate this 120-day period are identified in Mr. Statler’s report as follows:

1. When the 120-day period was set, the understanding at the time was that the Proposition 218 45-day notice and protest requirements did not apply to approval of private company solid waste rates.

2. Review was delayed pending consideration of rate increases by the San Luis Obispo Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) and their possible impact on SCSS’s rates. These new rates were not adopted by the IWMA until March 9, 2022, and will be implemented starting July 1, 2022. SCSS is authorized to bill this fee to the rate payers benefiting from these additional services in compliance with Proposition 218.

In accounting for these factors, Mr. Statler and staff recommend that delayed rate implementation apply for the period between May 1, 2022, and the City Council’s approval of the rate adjustments, anticipated to be considered on June 14, 2022, as discussed further below. While delays in completion of the analysis of the rate review application were “no fault” of SCSS, they were not the fault of the City either. SCSS argued that the delayed rate implementation start period should begin March 1, 2022, 132 days after the original rate review application submittal date of October 20, 2021.

The proposed temporary Delayed Rate Implementation increase is shown in the table below:

Please note that the Delayed Rate Implementation increase ends December 31, 2022.

Beginning January 1, 2023, rates will lower to an increase of 22.19%, plus any changes related to CPI for “controllable” operating costs and changes in “pass-through costs.” The April 12, 2022 staff report also described language in Section 8.3 of the Franchise Agreement that provides that if the rate increase request compared with the rate in effect at the date of the Franchise Agreement exceeds the cumulative cost of living increase from that same date, the City has the option of terminating the Franchise Agreement at any time within nine months following approval of the requested rate increase. The “trigger” calculation does not limit the amount of increase that SCSS can request; it simply incentivizes SCSS to keep its requested increases below the cumulative increase in CPI to avoid the City opting to terminate the Franchise Agreement. SCSS’s request exceeded the “trigger” by 26.89%. However, staff recommended against pursuing the termination (“trigger”) option as, based on a detailed review of costs as presented in Attachment 2, Effective

the costs are reasonable and rates have been calculated in accordance with the Manual.

Finally, the requirements of Senate Bill 1383 have created significant new regulatory requirements, burdens, and costs for the City, its solid waste partners such as the IWMA, and SCSS. Franchise Agreement amendments approved in April will require SCSS to help the City meet certain SB 1383 requirements, and termination of the Franchise Agreement with SCSS at this time would create significant disruption in the efforts to comply with the new State regulations.

On April 12, 2022, the City Council set the Public Hearing for June 14, 2022, to consider adjusting the Solid Waste rates for June 15, 2022, January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024.

Additionally, Council directed that the Proposition 218 hearing notice be provided including a Delayed Rate Implementation increase beginning in May 1, 2022. Consistent with the Franchise Agreement, SCSS mailed the required Proposition 218 Notice to affected customers and property owners, as shown in Attachments 4 and 5.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:

The Report proposes Solid Waste rate increases of 22.19%, plus a delayed rate implementation of 5.12%, totaling 27.31% on June 15, 2022. The Delayed Rate Implementation increase is proposed to end December 31, 2022. Beginning January 1, 2023, rates will lower to an increase representing 22.19%, plus any changes related to CPI for “controllable” operating costs and plus any changes in “pass-through costs.” On January 1, 2024, rates will be the January 1, 2023 rates, plus any changes related to CPI for “controllable” operating costs and plus any changes in “pass-through costs.” In summary, single family residential customers will see the following increases, if approved:

In addition, the IWMA’s increased fees adopted on March 9, 2022, will also be passed through to customers. As explained in the April 12, 2022 staff report, the IWMA has taken the lead in implementing SB 1383 on behalf of its member agencies. Following the County’s exit from the IWMA, it became necessary for the IWMA to reevaluate its fees in light of the anticipated loss of revenue from the customers within the unincorporated areas of the County. This reevaluation resulted in a delay in adoption of revised fees, which are levied on the haulers and ultimately passed through to customers. At its March 9, 2022 IWMA Board of Directors meeting, the Board adopted revised fees establishing a solid waste management fee of 5.4% of gross hauler receipts. This revised fee alters the structure previously used by the IWMA, which had included the following: (1) 2% of the Single Family

gross revenue collected from commercial customers; and (2) the solid waste management fee of $0.30 per month for residential accounts charged less than $50 per month and a 2% fee for residential accounts paying more than $50 a month. The new fee no longer charges different fees related to commercial and residential accounts and instead charges an overall fee equivalent to 5.4% of the hauler’s gross receipts, calculated based on the gross receipts amounts used to determine the hauler’s franchise fee obligations to its franchisors.

The proposed IWMA fee with the temporary Delayed Rate Implementation increase is shown in the table below:

If there is no majority protest, the proposed rate increase will be implemented starting July 1, 2022. SCSS is authorized to bill this fee to the rate payers benefiting from these additional services in compliance with Proposition 218.

With the proposed increase, solid waste rates for Arroyo Grande are among the lowest in the Central Coast area for single family residential services, as shown in the following table:

Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of a Resolution Establishing Solid Waste Rates
June 14, 2022

Proposition 218 Process
The City’s practice is to apply the provisions of Proposition 218 to solid waste rates and to require that all property owners and tenant customers receiving solid waste collection services receive written notice by mail at least 45 days prior to the City Council consideration of approving solid waste rate 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 April 29, 2022. A copy of the mailed notice is provided in Attachments 4 and 5.

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 receiving solid waste collection services. Therefore, 4,404 protests 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, or the tenant customer. At the time this report was prepared, there were 11 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 protests received will be counted and, if no majority protest has occurred, Council may adopt the proposed Resolution setting forth the solid waste rates that will go into effect on June 15, 2022.

ALTERNATIVES:

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

1. Conduct a public hearing and consider protests regarding the proposed solid waste rate adjustments identified in the notice of public hearing, based on the Solid Waste Rate Review; and 2) if there is no majority protest, adopt a Resolution establishing new Solid Waste rates effective June 15, 2022, January 1, 2023, and January 1, 2024; or

2. Provide other direction to staff.

ADVANTAGES:

Approval of the rate increase is consistent with the terms of the existing rate setting methodology set forth in the Franchise Agreement and the quality of service provided by SCSS has been good. Therefore, the recommended action will enable continuation of uninterrupted solid waste collection and recycling services at a reasonable cost.

DISADVANTAGES:

Customers will experience higher solid waste collection and recycling 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.

Proposition 218 notices for the proposed rate adjustments were mailed by April 29, 2022.

On Friday, June 3, 2022 the public hearing notice was published in The Tribune and on the City’s website.

Of the eleven protest letters received as of June 8, 2022 (Attachment 6), one protest letter provided information about opposing the 5.12% delayed rate implementation increase.

One protest letter provided information about opposing the increase due to the fact that there are no other garbage service options. One protest letter provided information about opposing the increase related to timing, as well as the percentage amount of each of the rate increases. The remaining 8 simply stated that they would like to protest the increase.

SOLID WASTE RATE REVIEW
For the Communities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach,
Oceano and Pismo Beach

REPORT PURPOSE
On October 20, 2021, South County Sanitary Service (SCSS) submitted a Base Year rate increase application to be effective January 1, 2022 to the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach and the Oceano
Community Services District (CSD). However, due
to complexity, concerns with pending rate
increases by the Integrated Waste Management
Authority (IWMA) and significant subsequent
reviews and information exchanges, a revised
application was submitted on February 18, 2022.

The final application is the focus of this report in
reviewing the SCSS rate increase request in
accordance with adopted Franchise Agreement
provisions regarding rate increase applications and
to make rate recommendations to these four
agencies as appropriate.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS
In its final application, SCSS is requesting a rate
increase of 22.19% in the cities of Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach; and 21.03% for the Oceano CSD (the difference is due to a 5% franchise fee rate in the Oceano CSD versus 10% in the other agencies). This compares with an initial rate request of 24.65% for three agencies (and 23.35% in the Oceano CSD). As discussed in greater detail below, all of the concerns that surfaced in the iterations and further analysis that followed in addressing issues with proposed costs for 2022 have been resolved.

There are two key differences between the initial and revised application:

Joint Agency Review
SCSS provides similar
services to each of these
agencies under formally
approved franchise
agreements that regulate rates
and establish procedures for
considering rate increases.

Because the financial
information for SCSS is
closely related for these four
agencies, this report jointly
reviews rate requests and
provides recommendations for
each of them.

Solid Waste Rate Review

• Greenwaste processing costs have been reclassified as “pass-through” costs: while costs may be recovered, no profit is allowed on them.
• IWMA fees have been excluded from the fee analysis. These are approved by a separate agency and will be charged separately on customer bills.

Key cost drivers in this review include the following, which account for almost 90% of the cost increases since 2020 (last audited financial statements):

Findings
• Complete Application. With its revised application, SCSS has fully provided the supporting documentation required for rate requests under the Franchise Agreements in Arroyo Grande, Oceano, Pismo Beach and Grover Beach. The revised application (Appendix A) has been correctly prepared.
• High Level of Service at a Reasonable Cost. SCSS provides a broad level of high-quality services to these four agencies—including garbage, recycling and green waste collection and disposal as well as hauler-provided “waste wheeler” containers for all three services—at very competitive rates compared with many other communities. In fact, even with the recommended rate increase, rates in these four agencies will be among the lowest of those surveyed. In short, South County communities have the best of both worlds: high quality services at a low cost (compared with other communities). • “Trigger Option.” As discussed in greater detail below, the rate increase exceeds the cost of living threshold that “triggers” the option of terminating the Franchise Agreements within nine months after rate approval.
• Need for Updated Rate-Setting Methodology. The rate-setting process is based on the City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates (Rate Manual) adopted in 1994. In short, with very minor modifications, this approach has been in place for almost 30 years. Because of several complex issues that surfaced in the 2019 rate review that had not been encountered in the past in using this rate-setting methodology (most notably corporate overhead, greenwaste and materials recovery facility (MRF) costs as well as rate structure concerns), I recommended updating the Rate Manual before the next Base Year review. This has not occurred, and accordingly, this review is based on the current methodology. 2022 Cost Increase from 2020 Amount % of Total Rate Impact*
Depreciation 998,708 36% 8.05%
Greenwaste 956,783 35% 7.71%
Insurance 298,612 11% 2.41%
Gas and Oil 131,422 5% 1.06%
Total Key Drivers 2,385,525 87% 19.23%
Other Costs 367,275 13% 2.96%
Total $2,752,800 100% 22.19%

However, the need for an update is even greater now: along with the 2019 concerns, new issues have surfaced in this review. As discussed in greater detail below, these include depreciation amortization period, interim rate reviews, cost allocation methodologies, accounting for disposal costs, timeframe for submitting and reviewing applications and trigger option.
• Delayed Rate Implementation. In the past, there has been no consideration of delayed rate implementation. However, the Rate Manual does provide for this if there is a delay of more than 120 days after application if it is “no fault of the franchise hauler.” Given the initial October 20, 2021 submittal date, this would indicate rate approval by March 1. However, there are three factors that mitigate this 120-day period:

1. When the 120-day period was set, the understanding at the time was that Proposition 218 45-day notice and protest requirements did not apply to approval of private company solid waste rates. However, since then
many agencies have determined that these
provisions are applicable to approval of
rates by companies like SCSS. This alone
conceptually adds 45 days to the review
process.

2. Review was delayed pending consideration
of rate increases by the IWMA and their
possible impact on SCSS rates. These new
rates were not adopted by the IWMA until
March 9, 2022. Moreover, it was
subsequently determined that since these
rates are set by the IWMA – and not the
franchising agencies – that they did not
affect agency rate-setting. (As noted above,
this resulted in a revised application from
SCSS on February 18, 2022).

3. While SCSS has been very responsive in following-up on requests for supporting data, the scope and complexity of the 2022 application has been significantly greater, and subsequently taken longer, than envisioned in the Rate Manual.

In accounting for these factors, I recommend that delayed rate implementation apply for any rates with a May 1, 2022 effective date. In short, while these delays were “no fault” of SCSS, they were not the fault of the agencies, either. That said, SCSS believes the delayed rate implementation start period should be March 1, 2022.

Where delayed rate implementation is applicable, the following temporary rate increases would be required depending on whether the delayed rate implementation start period is March 1 or May 1. (Note: The added rate increase goes up for each month of delay to be recovered while the amortization period is shortened.) Under either start date, rates would be reset in January 2023 to the “core rate” for the Interim Year adjustment.

About Proposition 218 Notices
Not all agencies prepare and issue
“Proposition 218” notices for private
sector solid waste rate increases.

However, for those that do, the notice
sets the maximum amount that rates
can be increased at the public
hearing: rates can be approved at
lesser amounts without re-noticing.

However, agencies cannot adopt
higher rates – even if they only apply
to a few customers – without another
45-day re-noticing. As such, it is
recommended that the notices reflect
the rates requested by SCSS.

Solid Waste Rate Review

Temporary Delayed Implementation Rate Increase*
It should be noted that while the report recommends a May 1 start date for delayed rate implementation, a reasonable case could be made for an even later start date (such as June 1 or July 1) based on the mitigation factors discussed above.

Lastly, several of these review timeframe factors are not unique to the 2022 review. Accordingly, the application submittal and review schedule should be considered in the Rate Manual update.

Rate Recommendations
It is recommended that cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach adopt rate increases of 22.19%; and 21.03% in the Oceano CSD.

As discussed below, this rate increase significantly exceeds the cost of living threshold that triggers the option of terminating the Franchise Agreements within nine months after rate approval. However, it is important to note that this “trigger” calculation does not limit the allowable rate increase that SCSS may request (or limit the amount that agencies may approve) under the methodology set forth in the Franchise Agreements.

Cost of Living “Trigger” Option. Along with establishing the rate review methodology, Section

8.3 of the Franchise Agreements provides that if the rate increase request compared with the rate in effect at the date of the agreement exceeds the cumulative cost of living increase from that same date, each agency has the option of terminating the agreement at any time within nine months following approval of the requested rate increase (assuming it was submitted in accordance with the rate-setting methodology).

This provision was subsequently amended in 2016 allowing for an added increase based on landfill rate increases (“weighted” for their proportion of total costs). It is important to note that other than a waiver for greenwaste cost increases in 2011, no other adjustments (including other pass-through costs) are allowed under the Franchise Agreements. As detailed later in this report, the calculated threshold limit is significantly less than the proposed rate increase.

Rate Summary for Single Family Residential Customers
Table 1 summarizes the proposed
monthly rates for single family
residential (SFR) customers. As reflected
in this summary, given the significant
cost drivers facing SCSS, the increases
will be modest under the proposed rate
increase. For example, for collection of a
32-gallon garbage container (the most
common SFR service level) as well as
separate waste wheelers for recycling
and green waste, the proposed monthly
rate will increase by about $3.80 on
average for the four agencies.

BACKGROUND
On October 20, 2021, SCSS submitted a
Base Year rate increase to be effective
January 1, 2022. As noted above, due to
several complex issues, a revised
application was submitted on February
18, 2022. This application was prepared in accordance with the rate review process and methodology formally set forth in its Franchise Agreements with Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano and Pismo Beach.

In establishing a rate-setting process and methodology, each of these Franchise Agreements specifically reference the City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates. This comprehensive approach to rate reviews was adopted by San Luis Obispo in 1994 and establishes detailed procedures for requesting rate increases and the required supporting documentation to do so. It also sets cost accounting standards and allowable operating profit ratios.

As noted above, the financial information for Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano and Pismo Beach is closely related. For this reason, these four agencies jointly contracted with William C.

Statler (who has extensive experience in evaluating rate requests in accordance with the adopted methodology) on October 6, 2022 to evaluate SCSS’s rate increase application.

This is the seventh Base Year analysis performed under this rate-setting methodology. The first was prepared in September 2001; second in August 2004; the third in August 2007; the fourth in December 2012; September 2015; and the last one in April 2019. As discussed below, several Interim Year rate reviews have prepared since then.

Franchise Agreement Summary
Historically, each agency has had its
own approach to determining
service levels and adopted differing
Franchise Agreements accordingly.

While these became similar
beginning in 1999, in 2008 the
Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover
Beach and Pismo Beach adopted renewed franchise agreements, followed by the Oceano Community Service District in Summer 2010, which are the same in all key provisions:
• Each agency contracts with SCSS for garbage, green/food waste and recycling; and SCSS provides the container (waste wheelers) for each service. • As noted above, each agency has adopted the same rate-setting methodology, including the option of terminating the agreement within nine months following approval of the requested rate increase if it exceeds the cost of living threshold. • Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach and Pismo Beach have adopted franchise fees of 10%; the Oceano CSD reduced its rate to 5% in February 2020.

Each of these agreements were similarly amended in 2016 to:
• Extend the term of the agreement for 20 years in recognizing the amortization of extensive investments in food and green waste processing.
• Revise the cost of living threshold “trigger” to include prorated landfill cost increases.

RATE REVIEW WORKSCOPE
This report addresses four basic questions:
• Should SCSS be granted a rate increase? And if so, how much? • How much does it cost to provide required service levels? • Are these costs reasonable?
• And if so, what is a reasonable level of return on these costs? The following documents were closely reviewed in answering these questions:
• Franchise Agreements and any Amendments for each agency • Independently audited financial statements for SCSS for 2019 and 2020. • City of San Luis Obispo’s Rate Setting Process and Methodology Manual for Integrated Solid Waste Management Rates (Rate Manual)
• SCSS rate increase application and supporting documentation • Follow-up interviews, correspondence and briefings with agency and SCSS staff • Rate surveys of Central Coast communities

REVENUE AND RATE SETTING OBJECTIVES
In considering SCSS’s rate increase request, it is important to note the revenue and rate setting objectives for solid waste services as set forth in the Franchise Agreements via the Rate Manual.

Revenues. These should be set at levels that:
• Are fair to customers and the hauler.
• Are justifiable and supportable.
• Ensure revenue adequacy.
• Provide for ongoing review and rate stability.
• Are clear and straightforward for the agency and hauler to administer.

Rate Structure. Almost any rate structure can meet the revenue principles outlined above and generate the same amount of total revenue. Moreover, almost all rate structures will result in similar costs for the average customer: what different rate structures tell us is how costs will be distributed among non-average customers. The following summarizes adopted rate structure principles for solid waste services:
• Promote source reduction, maximum diversion and recycling. • Provide equity and fairness within classes of customers (similar customers should be treated similarly).
• Be environmentally sound.
• Be easy for customers to understand.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
While detailed financial and service information is provided in the SCSS rate request application (Appendix A), the following summarizes costs, revenues and account information based its proposal for 2022 for all areas serviced by SCSS.

Costs by Type. Total proposed costs for
2022 (after deducting for non-allowable
and limited costs as discussed later in
this report) are 17.3 million. As
reflected in Table 3, five cost areas
accounted for 85% of total costs:
• Direct labor for collection: 23%
• Disposal: landfill, recycling and
greenwaste: 27%
• Vehicle operations and maintenance
(including depreciation): 19%
• Franchise fees: 8%
• Insurance: 8%

Solid Waste Rate Review
- 8 -
Revenues by Source. Total revenues
(without proposed rate increases) are
$15.2 million. As reflected in Table 4,
58% of SCSS’s revenues come from
single-family residential (SFR)
accounts. Services to multi-family
residential and non-residential
customers account for 42% of their
revenues, with less than 1% from other
revenues.

This significant gap between revenues
and expenses (plus allowable profit)
drives the proposed rate increase.

Service Accounts by Type. While
single-family residences account for
58% of revenues, they represent 92% of
total accounts (Table 5).

This reflects the fact that per account,
multi-family and non-residential
customers generate more solid waste
than single-family residential customers
(and thus more revenue per account).

RATE-SETTING PROCESS
Under the Rate Manual, the rate-setting
process follows a three-year cycle:
• Base Year. The first year of the cycle—the Base Year—requires a comprehensive, detailed analysis of revenues, expenses and operating data. This information is evaluated in the context of agreed upon factors in the franchise agreements in determining fair and reasonable rates. As noted above, the last Base Year analysis for SCSS under this approach was prepared in April 2019.
• Two Interim Years. In both the second and third years, SCSS is eligible for Interim Year rate adjustments that address three key change factors: changes in the consumer price index (CPIU) for “controllable” operating costs; changes in “pass-through costs” (primarily landfill tipping fees, which SCSS does not control: they are set by the County Board of Supervisors); and an adjustment to cover increased franchise fees.

The first two adjustment factors are “weighted” by the proportionate share that these costs

Solid Waste Rate Review
- 9 -
represent of total costs (excluding franchise
fees). For example, in the current Base Year
analysis for recommended 2019 rates,
controllable costs account for about 75% of
total costs, with landfill disposal costs
accounting for about 25%.

The rate review for the two Interim Years
requires less information and preparation time
than the Base Year review, while still
providing fair and reasonable rate adjustments.

Rate Increase History
The following summarizes the SCSS rate review
history beginning with 2005 (last eighteen years)
based on the year of the application (which is
typically the implementation year).

Table 6. SFR Rate History: 2005 to 2022 (Last 18 Years)

1. From 2004 to 2011, the franchise fee rate in Pismo Beach was 6% compared with 10% in the other three agencies, and as such, its rate increase was slightly less. In July 2011, Pismo Beach adopted a Year Review Type

Proposed Interim Year Rates
Consistent with past practice, SCSS
has proposed an interim year
approach that is slightly different from
the Rate Manual methodology. In the
interest of a more straightforward,
streamlined process, SCSS proposes
simply adjusting rates by changes in
the CPI-U in 2023 and 2024. As noted
in the past, the concept is consistent
with the Rate Manual approach, but is
simpler and allows for multi-year rate
setting. Accordingly, it is
recommended that four agencies
continue using this approach.

Given the that interim review
methodology set forth in the Rate
Manual has not been used for several
years, this is another area the update
should consider.

10% franchise fee, bringing it in alignment with the other three agencies (as well as most other agencies in San Luis Obispo County). In implementing the 10% rate in 2011, Pismo Beach adopted an added 3.9% increase beyond the interim year rate increase of 5.15% requested by SCSS.

2. SCSS did not request a rate increase in 2010 (which would have been the “normal” cycle to do so), and accordingly, did not submit a Base Year rate application. However, SCSS did submit a rate request in 2011 using an Interim Year methodology. The reasonableness of using the resulting “hybrid” approach was discussed in detail in the 2011 Interim Year report, which concluded that this approach was reasonable given the circumstances.

3. In February 2020, the Oceano CSD reduced its franchise fee from 10% to 5%, reducing rates by 5%.

4. Proposed rate increase.

5. As noted above, this chart reflects SFR rate increases. SCSS began charging for commercial recycle containers. These rates were set at 50% of the garbage rates at that time.

Assuming the proposed rate increases are approved, this will result in an average annual rate increase of 3.6% over the last eighteen years. While there have been notable peaks in 2019 and 2022, largely due to regulatory and external market changes for recyclables, this reflects a high level of rate stability and price containment for SCSS customers.

RATE SETTING METHODOLOGY
Are the Costs Reasonable?
The first step in the rate review process is to determine if costs are reasonable. There are three analytical techniques that can be used in assessing this:
• Detailed review of costs and service responsibilities over time. • Evaluation of external cost factors, such as general increases in the cost of living (as measured by the consumer price index).
• Comparisons of rates with other communities.

Each of these was considered in preparing this report, summarized as follows.

Detailed Cost Review
In its rate application (Appendix A), SCSS provides detailed financial data for five years:
• Audited results for the two prior years (2019 and 2020). • Estimated results for 2021.
• Projected costs for the Base Year (2022).
• Estimated costs for the following year (2023).

Additionally, for virtually all line items, SCSS provided supplemental detail upon request to support cost increases from 2020 to 2022.

Table 7 below provides actual costs for 2020 (most recent audit results) compared with requested and recommended cost projections for 2022. While there are significant cost increases in several categories, they are reasonable given the cost drivers facing SCSS.

The Short Story. The key drivers behind the proposed rate increases for 2022 can be summarized by four cost factors over the past two years:
• Truck depreciation.
• Food and green waste recycling.
• Insurance
• Gas and oil
All other cost increases including labor, ongoing maintenance, disposal costs at the landfill and MRF, account for less than 3% of the rate increase.

These costs are organized by costs where SCSS is allowed a profit (“Allowable”) and those where it can recover the cost but not earn a profit on them (“Pass-Through”).

The following describes the basis for each for the significant changes.

Allowable Costs
• Direct Labor. This reflects a two-year increase of 8.5%, or about 4.2% per year. Given the tight labor market and current increases in CPI, this increase for retention and attraction is reasonable.
• Office Salaries. This also reflect annual increases of about 4% per year. Again, given the tight labor market and current increases in CPI, this increase for retention and attraction is reasonable.
• Depreciation. The 2019 Base Year report noted that as fully depreciated trucks were replaced, significant continuing higher
depreciation costs were expected in the future
due to two factors: annual depreciation costs
on fully depreciated trucks would go from
zero to about $60,000 each; and the cost basis
for new trucks would be significantly higher
than in the past. Given replacements during
2021 and those proposed in 2022, the
increased cost is reasonable. Combined with a
possible change in amortization schedule as
noted in the sidebar, planned replacements
should result in stabilized costs in the future.
• Gas and Oil. These costs are projected to increase by about 7.5% annually. Given the volatility (both up and down) of diesel and CNG costs (especially recent cost spikes), this is a reasonable assumption for 2022 costs.
• Insurance: Health Care and Liability. These costs are projected to increase significantly by about 12.5% annually (7.5% for health care and 22.5% for liability insurance). Given increases in health care costs and current liability insurance market, these are reasonable assumptions for 2022 costs.
• All Other Allowable Costs. While there are ups and downs in the other individual line items, in total these reflect modest annual increases of about 2%.

Pass-Through Costs
• Disposal Costs: Landfill. No rate increases are reflected in the rate application ($41.00 per ton). The modest two-year increase reflects increased tonnage.

Truck Amortization
The Rate Manual calls for
depreciating trucks over seven years.

While this made sense in 1994,
manufacturing improvements since
then have resulted in longer lives, with
ten years becoming the industry
standard. As noted above, this
change should be considered as part
of the Rate Manual update.

• Disposal Costs: Recycling (Related Party). This cost category reflects a decrease in the tonnage rate from $96.00 to $84.59.
• Disposal Costs: Greenwaste. After depreciation, this is the largest cost increase from 2020.

These costs are incurred under an on-site agreement with HZI and reflect costs to build (via depreciation), operate and maintain the anaerobic digestion plant. The purpose of this plant is to process local food and greenwaste in meeting California regulation SB 1383. Key drivers include higher costs than initially projected for construction; ongoing operations and maintenance due to feedstock challenges; and local outbound material. The following further describes these challenges; and a cost summary is provided in Appendix B.

Construction and startup The construction of the anaerobic digester plan in San Luis Obispo was one of the first high solids digesters in the United States and the 99th overall renewable gas anaerobic plant built globally by HZI. The
construction of the anerobic digester in
California posed unique challenges but was
constructed safely and without any
environmental incidents. Given the “first-ofthe-kind” nature of the project in California, the actual cost to construct the anaerobic
digestion plant exceeded the original budget
originally set in 2014. The cost increases were
mainly driven by labor availability, prevailing
wage, civil and underground cost increases,
and equipment and material escalations.

Operation and maintenance. The anaerobic
digestion plant exceeds 95% availability
(uptime) to process waste while producing
renewable green electricity. To ensure the plant
is reliably available to process local community
waste, the operations and maintenance cost of the anaerobic digestion exceeds the original annual budget due to several factors:

1. The quantity of entrained inorganic material (such as sand and metal) entrained in the waste increases the wear and tear on the mechanical components of the plant, which inherently increases the number of staff required to operate and maintain the facility.

2. The lower than anticipated quantity of food was also increases the wear and tear on the equipment, which has mainly been driven need to continue to educate the community on organics recycling and the impacts of COVID on commercial businesses (most notably restaurants).

3. Plant labor costs have increased due to the requirements of processing the waste, maintaining the equipment, competitive labor market and inflationary costs in San Luis Obispo County and more broadly in California. Plant administrative costs such as insurance, legal and taxes continue to increase greater than was historically budgeted.

Local Benefits
It should be noted that that while
costs have increased, HZI and SCSS
believe there are substantial local
benefits to the greenwaste operation,
including:
• Powering over 600 homes with

6.2 million kWh per year of
renewable electricity.
• Diverting 72 million pounds of
organics from landfills per year
• Reducing greenhouse gas
emissions by 5,300 metric tons
per year.

In summary, key operation and maintenance cost increases reflect continual sand removal; increased equipment replacement and maintenance; increased labor hours and rates; and management of backend compost.

Depreciation. Plant depreciation expenses reflect the higher construction costs discussed above in addressing waste profile challenges such as sand and low food waste content.

Lower Natural Gas Production (Revenue). Due to the amount of inorganic material (like sand) and the lower than anticipated food waste content, the overall natural gas production is lower than planned. This directly limits the amount of overall natural gas production potential of the digester and ultimately electricity sales.

In the past, greenwaste contract costs have been considered “allowable” costs. However, as disposal costs, they are more like landfill and recycling costs, which are treated as “passthrough” costs that can be recovered but profit is not allowed on them. Accordingly, this is considered a pass-through cost in this rate review. However, this another area that should be reviewed as part of the rate manual update.
• Franchise Fees. This reflects the removal of IWMA fees from the cost base. • Interest (Related Party). Interest is an allowable cost under the Rate Manual. In this case, interest costs are assessed internally by Waste Connections based on a methodology that takes into account its corporate costs of borrowing and financed assets. Accordingly, this is treated as a “pass-through” cost. SCSS’s auditors have previously provided a written opinion on the reasonableness of the cost methodology; and I have reviewed the calculations underlying the projected costs in accordance with this methodology. Given the increase in financed assets as reflected in depreciation costs, I believe the projected interest costs for 2022 are reasonable.

Trends in External Cost Drivers
The most common external “benchmark” for evaluating cost trends is the consumer price index.

Over the past two calendar years (2020 and 2021), the U.S. CPI-U increased by 8.5% (about

4.2% annually). Excluding the cost drivers discussed above, all other costs over the past two years increased by 4.1% (about 2% annually).

Rates in Comparable Communities
Lastly, reasonableness of rates (and underlying costs) can also be evaluated by comparing rates with comparable communities. However, survey results between “comparable” communities need to be carefully weighed because every community is different.

Nonetheless, surveys are useful assessment tools—but they are not perfect and they should not drive rate increases. Typical reasons why solid waste rates may be different include:
• Franchise fees and AB 939 fee surcharges
• Landfill costs (tipping fees)

• Service levels (frequency, quality)
• Labor market
• Operator efficiency and effectiveness
• Voluntary versus mandatory service
• Direct services provided to the franchising agency at no cost, such as free trash container pick-up at city facilities, on streets and in parks
• Percentage of non-residential customers, and how costs and rates are allocated between customer types
• Revenue collection procedures: Does the hauler or the franchising agency bill for service? And what are the procedures for collecting delinquent accounts? • Services included in the base fee (recycling, green waste, containers, pick-up away from curb)
• Different rates structures
• Land use and density (lower densities will typically result in higher service costs) • Mix of residential and non-residential accounts
With these caveats, the following summarizes single family residential rates for other cities in the Central Coast area compared with the proposed rates for SCSS. As reflected below, even with the recommended or proposed rate increases, Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Oceano and Pismo Beach will have among the lowest rates of the agencies surveyed.
