Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 2025-139.
Electric Rate Increase Discussion
Resolution 2025-139 proposes electric rate increases and revisions to electric rates and tariffs.
Staff Report by Fred Lynn, Electric Director
Fred Lynn, Electric Director, presented the staff report highlighting the need for electric rate increases.
● Financial Decline: The electric utility's finances have significantly declined, moving from a $14 million fund balance in fiscal year 2021 to a negative $9.2 million in fiscal year 2024. ● Reasons for Decline:
a. Insufficient rate of revenue to cover operating expenses. b. Overspending on electric CIP projects using reserves instead of external funding. c. Increases in wholesale power costs.
● Emergency Rate Increase: The City Council previously approved a two-year emergency rate increase of 13.9% for November 1, 2024, and a second 13.9% for November 1, 2025. ● Consultant: New-Gen Strategies was brought on as a consultant to design a comprehensive and sustainable electric cost of service report and rate design. ● Bond Rating: The city's bond rating has declined three grades in the last year and a half due to the current financial situation.
7 ● Equipment Cost Increases: There have been significant increases in the cost of equipment in the electric industry since 2020. For example, transformers have increased by 70-100%. ● Inflation: The CPI inflation for the power distribution sector from 2014 to 2024 was above 40%. ● Consultant Findings: Banning Electric needs to collect an average of $46.5 million annually to keep up with expenses and replenish the depleted fund balance. Currently, the city is collecting about $36 million, resulting in a shortfall of about $10.5 million. ● Proposed Rate Increase Summary: The proposed rate increase will meet the utility's revenue requirements, repay other city funds used during the shortage, comply with existing debt service coverage, and meet the 90-day cash on hand requirement by fiscal year 2028. ● Five-Year Electric Rate Proposal: In year one, the previously approved 13.9% increase would be retracted and replaced with a 20% increase for all rate classes. ● Rate Tariffs: The theme for all rate tariffs will be an increase in the fixed cost (basic service cost) for year one, which will remain constant from year two to five. The increase will be only towards the energy charge and/or the demand charge.
● Competitive Rates: Even with the proposed rate increases, Banning Electric's rates are still below some of the surrounding utilities.
● Monthly Average Increase: The monthly average increase for residential customers in year one would be about $22 per month.
● Fund Balance Forecast: The approval of the five-year rate increase shows the forecast of the utility fund balances increasing to a positive fund balance in year three (fiscal year 28) and back to a healthy fund balance by year five (fiscal year 30). ● Financial Recovery: Approval of the rate increase will begin the process for financial recovery for Banning Electric.
Council members asked clarifying questions of staff.
● Deficit Origin: The deficit was primarily due to relying solely on utility reserves to fund capital infrastructure instead of incorporating projected capital expenses into a cost-of-service analysis. ● Capital Improvements: Capital improvements have already been implemented, and the money has been spent.
● Inventory: The utility stocked up on inventory during COVID due to rising equipment costs and longer lead times.
● Future Capital Improvements: Most capital improvements through the master plan projects are focused on wildfire mitigation and protection, with residential development extensions accounted for through developer-paid funds.
● Billing Issues: Council members raised concerns about the months-long delay in utility billing and the lack of online payment options.
● Billing System Update: The online payment system is available, but the auto-pay function has been temporarily disabled due to the bi-weekly billing schedule. ● Transformer Inventory: Council members inquired about the number and cost of transformers in inventory, expressing concern about overspending.
● Transformer Costs: There are two large substation transformers currently not in use, while others are installed in new substations.
● Developer Reimbursement: Developers are being asked to reimburse the city for substation capacity costs.
Mayor Flynn opened public hearing at 7:45 p.m.
John Hagen: Expressed concern about the accuracy of billing calculations and the potential for increased delinquent accounts.
James Anderson: Called for accountability and transparency, including an independent audit of the billing system and quarterly transparency reports.
Dorrie Gartzke: Suggested spreading the rate increases over a longer period (10 years) and expressed concern about the impact on residents.
Resident: Voiced concerns about poor service quality and the need for new development to pay their fair share.
Richard McCard: Raised concerns about the billing system's inability to accurately credit payments, leading to confusion and potential overpayments. 8 Tim Smith: Criticized the lack of rate studies and the proposed bi-monthly billing, calling for a return to monthly billing and accurate billing practices.
Leslie Evans: A new resident expressed concern about not receiving a bill since May and the uncertainty of future costs.
Anna Anderson: Shared experience of receiving a $34,000 water bill and the ongoing billing issues, urging for billing correction before rate increases.
Terri Smith: Echoed concerns about billing issues and the impact of rate increases on residents, particularly seniors.
Edward Espinosa: Questioned the city's recourse against the previous billing system provider for failing to deliver promised services.
Resident: Highlighted the need for policies to prevent overspending and suggested spreading out the rate increases.
Julie Neitzel: Emphasized the need to resolve billing issues before implementing any rate increases.
Nicholas Jimenez: Raised concerns about comparing Banning's rates to areas with higher energy consumption and suggested a lower residential rate increase.
Leanna Lopez: Agreed with previous speakers, emphasizing the need for current and accurate billing before any rate increases.
Jose Soto: Questioned the impact of the new rates on old, uncorrected bills and emphasized the need for accountability.
Pam Eckert: Compared Banning's proposed meter charges to other areas, finding them significantly higher, and urged for billing accuracy before rate increases.
Mayor Flynn closed public hearing at 8:26 p.m.
Council Member Miller left the meeting due to illness.
Council Discussion
● Council Member Wallace: Inquired about the possibility of extending the rate increases over a longer period and addressing the impact on low-income residents. ● Interim City Manager: Explained the need for a faster recovery to address the electric utility's deficit and improve the city's bond rating.
