City of Brentwood / Water and Wastewater Rate Study 37

4.3. Inflationary and Other Assumptions
This subsection describes the assumptions used in projecting operating and capital expenses as well as reserve coverage requirements that determine the overall revenue adjustments required to ensure the financial stability of the City’s wastewater enterprise. Revenue adjustments represent the average increase in wastewater rates for the City as a whole. Note that rate changes for individual classes will depend on the cost of service.

As with the water rate study, non-rate revenue and O&M projections are based on the City’s FY 2024 projections and projected budgetary increases in FY 2025 through FY 2028. The City uses different inflation factors that are indicative of industry increases for different expenditures within the budget, such as personnel, supplies, or fuel, to capture the impact of market forces over time. On average, the O&M costs are increasing at approximately 6 percent per year.

4.4. Wastewater Enterprise Financial Plan
This subsection of the report provides a discussion of the O&M and capital expenditures, capital improvement financing plan, debt service requirements, and revenue adjustments required to ensure the financial stability of the wastewater enterprise.

4.4.1. Revenue Requirement
A utility’s yearly revenue requirement is the amount of yearly revenue needed to operate, maintain, and ensure fiscal solvency. The revenue requirement includes O&M expenses, rate funded capital expenditures, debt service payments, and reserve funding.

4.4.1.1. O&M Expenses
The City’s wastewater enterprise’s projected O&M expenses are shown in Table 4-4. The Wastewater Financial Plan study period is from FY 2024 to FY 2028. O&M expenses include the cost of wastewater collection, wastewater treatment, billing, and providing lateral maintenance. Table 4-4 summarizes the projected O&M expenses by function.

Table 4-4: Projected Wastewater Enterprise O&M Expenses

4.4.1.2. Capital Improvement Program
Table 4-5 shows the City’s wastewater enterprise rate-funded CIP for FY 2024 through FY 2028, which totals approximately $5.1 million.

4.4.1.3. Debt Service
The City has debt service associated with an existing SRF loan, which was used to finance an initial WWTP expansion, as well as a planned debt issuance for the WWTP Phase II expansion and recycled water projects.

Table 4-6 shows the City’s debt service payments associated with the wastewater enterprise through FY 2028.

These schedules were provided by City staff. The financial plan does not include any additional debt issuances. The wastewater treatment plant note was paid off in FY 2023.

Table 4-6: Wastewater Enterprise Debt Service Payments

4.4.1.4. Proposed Financial Plan and Revenue Adjustment The proposed wastewater revenue adjustments help ensure adequate revenue to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures, and compliance with bond covenants. The Financial Plan model assumes the revenue adjustment occurs on July 1 of each year. The proposed revenue adjustments would enable the City to execute the CIP shown in Table 4-5 and meet its debt service coverage requirements over the study period.

Without these adjustments, the City would not be able to make debt coverage in FY 2029, just past the ratesetting period, and would have to delay necessary capital projects.

development impact fee fund. To calculate debt coverage ratios for the wastewater enterprise, total revenue (including development impact fee revenue) and total debt service payments are included. The wastewater enterprise’s debt coverage requirement is 110 percent. With the proposed increases, the City meets and exceeds its debt coverage requirement throughout the study period.

Table 4-9: Wastewater Enterprise Debt Coverage Calculation The next four figures display the Wastewater Enterprise Financial Plan in graphical format. Figure 4-1 shows the modeled revenue adjustments (blue bars) for the next five years on the left-hand axis and the calculated and required debt coverage requirements shown by the green and red lines respectively on the right-hand axis.

The green line, representing debt coverage calculations with proposed increases is above the required debt coverage as shown by the red line. Without the proposed increases, the calculated coverage would drop to just above the requirement in FY 2028 and below the requirement in FY 2029.

4.5. Wastewater Cost-of-Service Analysis
The total revenue requirement is, by definition, the net cost of providing service. This cost-of-service is then used as the basis to develop unit rates for the wastewater parameters and to allocate costs to the various user classes. The concept of proportionate allocation to user classes implies that allocations should take into consideration the quantity of wastewater a user contributes as well as the strength (i.e., treatment requirements) of the wastewater.

The cost-of-service analysis and rate calculations consist of the following steps:

1. Determination of the total costs to be recovered from rates (cost-of-service)

2. Determination of the wastewater loadings for each customer class, to ensure costs are allocated to each class proportionately

3. Allocation of the cost-of-service to the loading parameters- Flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)

4. Calculation of unit costs for the three parameters and the costs to serve the various user classes based on their loadings

This section of the report discusses the allocation of operating and capital costs to the Flow, BOD, and TSS parameters, the determination of unit rates, and the calculation of user class cost responsibility.

In this study, wastewater rates were calculated for FY 2024, and accordingly FY 2024 revenue requirements are used in the cost allocation process.

4.5.1. Costs-of-Service to be Allocated
The annual cost-of-service to be recovered from wastewater rates (i.e., revenue requirement) includes O&M expenses (Table 4-4Error! Reference source not found.), costs associated with annual renewal and replacements, and other capital-related costs (Table 4-5). O&M expenses include costs directly related to the collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater and maintenance of system facilities. Renewals and replacements represent the annual recurring capital outlay for minor system improvements and purchase of equipment.

The total FY 2024 net cost-of-service to be recovered from the City’s wastewater users, as shown on the last line in Table 4-11, is estimated at $16.4 million, of which $11.5 million are operating costs and the remaining $4.9 million are net capital costs including debt service costs. The cost-of-service analysis is based on the need to generate revenues adequate to meet this estimated revenue requirement. As part of the cost-of-service analysis, revenues from sources other than wastewater rates and charges are deducted from the appropriate cost elements. Additional deductions are made for interest income and other non-operating income during FY 2024. Adjustments are also made for transfers from reserves.

Table 4-11: Allocation of Wastewater Revenue Requirements To allocate the cost-of-service to the various user classes in proportion to their flow and strength contributions, costs first need to be allocated to selected wastewater cost causation parameters. The following subsection describes the allocation of the operating and capital cost-of-service amounts to the parameters of Flow, BOD, and TSS.

4.5.2. Cost Allocation to Wastewater Cost Causation Parameters The cost-of-service allocations in this study are based on Raftelis’ experience with secondary/tertiary treatment plants and are consistent with the revenue program guidelines of the Water Environment Federation (WEF).

The three main cost causation parameters are Flow, BOD, and TSS. BOD and TSS constitute the strength components of the wastewater discharge. Additional parameters include infiltration and inflow, customers, and laterals. Costs are assigned based on the parameters that dictate the design of each process. The allocation of costs to the three main parameters involves:
• Detailed breakdown and functionalization of O&M costs. • Itemization of the capital costs by functions such as collection, treatment, outfall, etc. • Allocation of the functional costs to the wastewater cost causation parameters.

In the absence of a detailed breakdown of fixed assets by process, the WWTP costs are allocated to flow, BOD, and TSS at 50 percent, 25 percent, and 25 percent, respectively. This allocation is representative of other similar treatment plants. Pipelines, outfall, and pumping stations costs are all allocated to flow.

Similarly, operating costs identified with the collection system are allocated to infiltration and inflow (I&I) and wastewater flow, and operating treatment costs are allocated in the same manner as the fixed asset costs.

Costs that could not be specifically identified were categorized as general costs. General costs are ultimately reallocated based on the proportions of other costs (see Table 4-14 below). Costs of lateral maintenance are allocated to laterals and costs of utility billing to customers. The allocation of O&M and capital costs is shown in Appendix B.

4.5.3. Unit Cost-of-Service
The next step of the cost-of-service analysis is to calculate unit costs for Flow, BOD, and TSS. The unit costs of service are developed by dividing the total annual costs allocated to each parameter by the total annual loadings for each parameter. Raftelis determined the total billed residential wastewater flow based on City data for the lowest two winter water production months, when most usage is typically “indoor” and generates wastewater to be treated, and estimated the non-residential flow at 100 percent of the water use since separate irrigation meters measure the “outdoor” use that does not generate wastewater. The remaining influent was assumed to be infiltration and inflow (I&I) that comes from storm or irrigation runoff or groundwater leakage into the pipes. Raftelis calculated an I&I of just under 10 percent of the total plant influent based on the estimated wastewater flow from customers. The net plant loadings (total influent less I&I) provide a basis for determining unit costs.

The strength of different types of non-residential customers is based on data from the City of Los Angeles and the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County (LACSD). Table 4-12 shows the calculation of the units of service for I&I, residential and non-residential customers using the method described above.

City of Brentwood / Water and Wastewater Rate Study 45
Table 4-12: Mass Balance
To verify the validity of the assumptions made, the net calculated strength for a residential account is compared against the expected flow and strength from a residential customer. The City serves 22,461 residential units in FY 2023. The calculated loading for each residential unit is:

Flow 44 gal/capita/day*
BOD 272 mg/L
TSS 387 mg/L
*Based on an average density of 3.2 persons per household from the 2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for the City of Brentwood The residential and non-residential wastewater loadings are used in Table 4-13 to develop the FY 2024 units of service. These units of service are then used in Table 4-14 to determine the unit costs for each of the wastewater parameters. These unit costs are then used along with the loadings to develop the cost to be collected from the different customer classes. Note that general costs are reallocated based on the proportions of the other costs. Since the majority of the collection system costs are fixed, to ensure fairness and revenue stability, a portion of the costs allocated to flow are moved to the fixed category under customers. The resultant fixed revenue, which also covers the City’s fixed costs that are not dependent upon water volume, is 40 percent of the total rate revenue, which compares with the current fixed rate revenue of 35 percent.

4.6. Wastewater Rate Derivation

4.6.1. Existing Rate Structure and Rates
The current wastewater rate structure consists of a base charge, a variable charge, and a lateral maintenance fee. Customers are currently billed monthly. The base charge is levied per dwelling unit for residential customers and per account for non-residential customers. The lateral maintenance fee is levied per account for residential customers only.

Residential customers are subject to a monthly variable charge per unit (kgal) of water used in the two lowest winter months subject to a cap of 7 kgal/mo. Residential monthly billed flow is recalculated each July.

Variable charges for new residential customers are based on the citywide residential average wastewater usage. A maximum charge currently caps monthly residential wastewater bills at $67.64 per month.

Non-residential customers are subject to a monthly variable charge per unit (kgal) of monthly water usage.

4.6.2. Proposed Rates
During the 2018 rate study, the non-residential customers were consolidated into broader strength categories recognizing that wastewater strength can vary widely day-to-day and measurement of strength is not very accurate. Table 4-16 shows each of the five consolidated non-residential customer classes defined by combined strength (the sum of BOD and TSS in mg/L).

Table 4-16: Consolidated Non-Residential Wastewater Customer Classes Table 4-17 shows the proposed wastewater rates for the next five years. Rates are adjusted by the cost-ofservice for FY 2024 and then by two percent on July 1 through the rate setting period, FY 2028.

FY 2023 (Current Rates)
Monthly Base Charge (per dwelling unit) $16.92
Monthly Lateral Maintenance Fee (per account) $3.33
Residential Variable Charge per unit ($/kgal)* $6.77
Residential Monthly Maximum Charge $67.64
Non-Residential Variable Charge ($/kgal of actual water use) Low Strength $5.33
Medium Low Strength $6.06
Medium Strength $6.66
Medium High Strength $13.64
High Strength $15.08
*Residential users' variable charge is based on water usage during two lowest-use winter months. It is capped at 7 kgal/mo.

5. Drought Surcharge
As part of the study, Raftelis calculated the demand reduction surcharge to recover the revenue shortfall that occurs as a result of demand reduction during water shortage situations.

A Drought Surcharge may be imposed during times of a declared drought when a certain level of reduction from the base usage has been mandated. A Drought Surcharge is charged on each unit of water used and is calculated to recover costs resulting from loss of revenue due to reduced water use. The amount of the Drought Surcharge at different levels of usage reduction is based upon the City’s projected revenue shortfall adjusted for changes in costs.

To determine the demand reduction surcharge, the first step is to project the water demand reduction for each customer class under different levels of shortage. Table 5-1 shows the projected water demand for each customer class and tier at different levels of reduction. Raftelis analyzed individual customer usage data, assuming that customers using more water are expected to reduce more since they have more discretionary water use. The analysis shows the increase in commodity rates that need to be applied to all usage including the tiers for each percentage reduction in usage. A magnified version of this table is presented in Appendix C.

Note that the actual reduction achieved under each drought stage is lower than the target.

Table 5-1: Projected Water Demand by Percent Usage Reduction The next step is to estimate the water supply cost savings that result when there is a reduction in demand. The City has a take-or-pay contract with CCWD; therefore, the City would continue to take its full allotment from CCWD. Proportional reduction in supply from BWTP and groundwater is used to ensure water quality. The variable costs associated with each supply are used to determine the cost savings. Almost all other costs are fixed and will not vary based on water demand. Table 5-2 shows the estimated cost savings in the water supply costs for each stage due to the reduction in usage. The total supply assumes a 12 percent water loss from the water usage shown in Table 5-1.

City of Brentwood / Water and Wastewater Rate Study 50
Table 5-2: Estimated Cost Savings by Percent Usage Reduction The final step is to calculate the drought surcharge, shown in Table 5-3. First, the projected potable water revenue is calculated by multiplying the demand projections from Table 5-1 for each level of reduction in use or scenario and the proposed water rates in FY 2024. The revenue shortfall is determined by comparing this revenue for each scenario with the FY 2024 revenues. Next, we add the estimated cost savings from Table 5-2 for each scenario. The total shortfall is divided by the projected demand in each scenario to arrive at a uniform dollar increase per unit of water for each scenario. Table 5-3 shows the proposed surcharge that will be effective July 1, 2023. Surcharges for subsequent years would increase by the overall revenue percentage increase of 6.5% shown in Table 3-7. Rates for intermediate conservation goals may be determined by linearly prorating the increases per unit.

a. From plans provided by the City on 11/11/25 and reviewed with the City on 11/18/25. b. The City specified that each multi-family, commercial, and city project will have an associated irrigation, city irrigation, or reclaimed water connection (with about 40 percent of the landscape connections being reclaimed water connections). Therefore, these connections will not be associated with any particular parcel or map location in Figure 3-3. c. Duplex development patterns differ from most multi‑family projects in the City. Since it is assumed that vacant multi‑family parcels will exhibit more typical historical development behavior, the acreage associated with this duplex project is excluded from growth‑rate calculations.

Section 7
Water Shortage Contingency
Planning
“Every urban water supplier shall prepare and adopt a water shortage contingency plan as part of its urban water management plan that consists of each of the following elements: […]” (CWC §§ 10632(a)).

The WSCP defines how the City will act in the case of an actual water shortage. A water shortage means that the water supply available is insufficient to meet the normally expected customer water use at a given point in time. The WSCP provides pre-planned guidance for managing and mitigating a potential shortage of water supply.

The WSCP is an element of the City’s UWMP and updated every five years in accordance with state law. The City’s WSCP is consistent with provisions in the state regulations pertaining to water planning in Water Code Section 10632. The WSCP consists of the following elements and are discussed in this section.
x Water Supply Reliability Analysis
x Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures
x Six Standard Water Shortage Stages
x Shortage Response Actions
x Special Water Feature Distinction
x Communication Protocols
x Compliance and Enforcement
x Legal Authorities
x Financial Consequences of WSCP
x Monitoring and Reporting
x WSCP Refinement Procedures
x WSCP Adoption, Submittal, and Availability

7.1 Water Supply Reliability Analysis
“The analysis of water supply reliability conducted pursuant to Section 10635” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(1)).

The water supply reliability analysis of the City’s supplies is summarized. The key issues that may create a shortage condition relative to the City’s water supply portfolio are described.

7.1.1 Water System Reliability
As discussed in Sections 5 and 6 of this UWMP, the City’s water supply consists of surface water from the Delta, groundwater from the ECC Subbasin, and recycled water. The reliability of the City’s surface water supply is relatively high and historically have not been subject to delivery reductions during water shortages, including regulatory restrictions and drought years. The City’s groundwater

2025 Urban Water Management Plan Section 7: Water Shortage Contingency Planning 7-2
DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. supply also appears to be reliable as available data for the ECC Subbasin indicate that historical extraction patterns have not exceeded the safe yield of the basin.

The comparison of current and projected water supply and demand conducted as part of the water supply reliability assessment (Section 6) shows that the City water supply is adequate to meet the projected demand across all year types.

7.1.2 Key Issues to Potential Shortage Condition
As discussed in Section 6 of this UWMP, the reliability of the City’s water supply is relatively high.

However, there are issues that could result in the City declaring a water shortage stage condition.

Below is a list of the key issues that could potentially result in a shortage condition for the City. x Statewide climate influences including Governor Executive Order related to water supply reduction (regulatory driven shortage)
x Availability of Delta surface water supplies
 Climate change-related sea-level rise and extreme weather  Water quality conditions/contamination
 Mechanical breakdown of surface water diversion structure, intake, or WTP facilities x Impacted groundwater supply
 Declining groundwater levels
 GSP sustainable groundwater pumping limitations (this would be due to future potential condition in GSP updates, as there are no current limitations in place)  Contamination of multiple wells
 Multiple well failures
 System-wide power failure
Some of these issues were utilized as drivers for the shortage condition considered in the DRA that is included in Section 6 of the UWMP. In all DRA years, the City was found to have a surplus of water supplies.

7.2 Annual Water Supply and Demand Assessment Procedures “An urban water supplier shall conduct an annual water supply and demand assessment pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 10632 and, on or before July 1 of each year, submit an annual water shortage assessment report to the department with information for anticipated shortage, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions consistent with the supplier’s water shortage contingency plan. An urban water supplier that relies on imported water from the State Water Project or the Bureau of Reclamation shall submit its annual water supply and demand assessment within 14 days of receiving its final allocations, or by July 1 of each year, whichever is later” (CWC §§ 10632.1).

The annual water supply and demand assessment is conducted annually on or before July 1 of each year. The Annual Assessment report is submitted to DWR with information for anticipated shortage, triggered shortage response actions, compliance and enforcement actions, and communication actions consistent with this WSCP.

7.2.1 Evaluation Criteria
The Annual Assessment determination will be based on considerations of unconstrained water demand, available water supplies, and infrastructure considerations. Since shortages are based on the difference between expected water supplies and unconstrained demand under current year and dry year conditions, the locally-applicable evaluation criteria to be used in the Annual Assessment for determining a shortage include the following:
x Depiction of current year and subsequent dry year based on best-available data, including anticipated hydrologic conditions
x Current and subsequent dry year unconstrained demand for the City’s customers considering weather, growth, and other influencing factors
x Estimation of available water supply for current and subsequent dry year

7.2.2 Decision Making Process
The City will conduct an Annual Assessment that follows the steps illustrated in Figure 7-1 and described below.

Figure 7-1. Annual assessment procedure and decision making process Step 1. Estimate Unconstrained Customer Demand - Current year unconstrained demand considering weather, growth, and other influencing factors such as policies to manage current supplies to meet demand objectives in future years, as applicable is estimated. Unconstrained customer demand does not include demand reductions that may occur as a result of the City implementing any special shortage response actions that may be necessary.

Step 2. Estimate Available Water Supply - The available water supply by source is estimated for the current year and one subsequent dry year:
x Quantify each source of water supply and provide descriptive text of each source x Quantify current year available supply by source, this includes coordinating with ECCID and CCWD and considerations for hydrological and regulatory conditions in the current year x Quantify available supply by source for one subsequent dry year

 The existing infrastructure capabilities and plausible constraints as they impact the City’s ability to deliver supplies to meet expected customer water use needs in the coming year should be considered
 Specific locally applicable factors that can influence or disrupt each supply source Step 3. Compare Projected Water Supplies to Demands – The estimated water supplies identified in the Annual Assessment will represent the water demand that can be met after factoring in the considerations noted in Step 2.

Step 4. Identify and Quantify Anticipated Water Supply Shortages, if any – The estimated water supplies in comparison to unconstrained water demands will identify and quantify any anticipated water shortages. Depending on the extent of the projected shortage, the appropriate shortage stage will be selected.

Step 5. Develop Draft Annual Assessment Report – The City compiles the draft Annual Assessment report based on the format to be determined by DWR using the key data inputs and evaluation criteria.

Step 6. Review Draft Annual Assessment Report – The City will review and provide comment on the draft Annual Assessment report.

Step 7. Address Comments to the Draft Annual Assessment Report, Finalize Report – The City will address internal comments to the draft Annual Assessment report and will finalize the report.

Step 8. Submit Annual Assessment Report to DWR – The City will submit the Annual Assessment report to DWR.

7.3 Six Standard Water Shortage Stages
“(A) Six standard water shortage levels corresponding to progressive ranges of up to 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 percent shortages and greater than 50 percent shortage. Urban water suppliers shall define these shortage levels based on the suppliers’ […] (B) An urban water supplier with an existing water shortage contingency plan that uses different water shortage levels may comply with the requirement in subparagraph (A) by developing and including a cross-reference relating its existing categories to the six standard water shortage levels” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(3)(A)–10632(a)(3)(B)).

The City has a six-stage WSCP, as shown in Table 7-1, to invoke during declared water shortages.

The six standard water shortage levels correspond to progressively increasing estimated shortage conditions and align with the response action the City would implement to meet the severity of the impending shortages. Triggering from one WSCP stage to the next is done at the recommendation of the Director of Public Works. Factors to take into consideration include decreases in water allotments from the water supply provider, from reductions in infrastructure capacity related to the water treatment plants, pipelines or water treatment plants, or climate or from state political conditions that would impact the allotment of water supply.

7.4 Shortage Response Actions
“[Provide] shortage response actions that align with the defined shortage levels and include, at a minimum, all of the following: […]” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(4)).

The City’s shortage response actions include demand reduction actions, supply augmentation actions, operational changes, locally appropriate mandatory prohibitions against specific water use practices, and consideration of state mandated prohibitions. For each activity the extent to which the gap between supplies and demand will be reduced by each shortage response action is estimated.

As the water purveyor, the City must provide the minimum health and safety water needs of the community at all times. The objective is to design the WSCP so that the demand reduction and supply augmentation activities in each stage reduce the shortage by the percent shortage range for each stage. Table 7-2 provides a summary of the estimated water savings from the demand reduction and supply augmentation activities in each stage.

Sections 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 provide detailed information as to the activities and the estimated savings for each activity.

7.4.1 Demand Reduction Actions
Locally appropriate demand reduction actions to adequately respond to shortages are specified in Table 7-3. Priorities for use of available potable water during shortages are based on the difference between basic needs (e.g. drinking, toilet flushing) and discretionary uses (e.g. landscape irrigation), and legal requirements set forth in the CWC, Sections 350-358. Water allocations are established for all customers according to the following:
x Minimum health and safety allocations for interior residential needs (includes single-family, multifamily, hospitals and convalescent facilities, retirement and mobile home communities, and firefighting and public safety)
x Commercial, industrial, institutional/governmental operations (where water is used for manufacturing and for minimum health and safety allocations for employees and visitors), to maintain jobs and economic base of the community (not for landscape uses) x Existing landscaping
x New customers, proposed projects without permits when shortage declared In 2011, the City adopted the current Municipal Code Section 17.630, which addresses landscaping and irrigation for new construction of homes, commercial, and industrial facilities. This code is a proactive means of reducing the water demand in the City. Restrictions in Level 1 are always in place per City Municipal Code 14.01.510, Conservation – Water waste prohibited (Appendix F). Should drought conditions warrant mandatory reductions, during Level 2 of a water supply shortage, the City may adopt and implement an ordinance for mandatory conservation and water restriction plan. This ordinance may require a drought surcharge for the City to enforce the plan.

The estimated annual volume of water that the demand reduction action will reduce the shortage gap by is included in Table 7-3 as is any note of a penalty, charge, or other enforcement for each demand reduction action. The assumptions and references for the estimated volume by demand reduction action items is provided in Appendix N.

7.4.3 Special Water Feature Distinction
“For purposes of developing the water shortage contingency plan pursuant to subdivision (a), an urban water supplier shall analyze and define water features that are artificially supplied with water, including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains, separately from swimming pools and spas, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 115921 of the Health and Safety Code” (CWC §§ 10632 (b)).

Water features that are not pools or spas are analyzed and defined separately from pools and spas in the WSCP. Non-pool or non-spa water features including ponds, lakes, waterfalls, and fountains that do not require the use of potable water for health and safety considerations, are defined as decorative water features and recreational water features and are included as such in the response actions and are enforced and monitored as part of the WSCP process.

Under all conditions and shortage levels the WSCP prohibits using potable water in an ornamental fountain or other decorative water feature, except where the water is part of a recirculating system.

At Level 3, all decorative water features that use potable water must be drained and kept dry.

7.5 Emergency Response Plan
The City is part of and maintains a regional Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to address responding to catastrophic supply interruptions as well as other emergencies. Due to security reasons, only the ERP Table of Contents is included in this document in Appendix G.

Some of the shortage response actions included in Table 7-2 may also be utilized to respond to catastrophic water shortages. When a shortage declaration appears imminent, the Director of Public Works is in charge of managing related activities. The Director of Public Works coordinates efforts with the City Manager and other departments including fire, planning, police, parks and recreation, and the City Manager’s Office.

The City has sufficient facilities and infrastructure to reroute around a temporary disruption.

2025 Urban Water Management Plan Section 7: Water Shortage Contingency Planning 7-10
DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document.

Under the regional ERP, member agencies can request mutual aid for sharing resources with other water agencies including labor, materials, or potable water to facilitate rapid, short-term deployment of support prior to, during, or after an event. These mutual aid benefits are particularly useful should a shortage be caused by a power outage or other natural disaster. All existing water supply storage, treatment, and distribution infrastructure is inspected per a maintenance schedule. These same procedures apply to all wastewater treatment facilities as well. The City will coordinate with any city or county which it provides water for the possible proclamation of a local emergency.

Table 7-5 summarizes possible water supply catastrophes that could impact the City. Potential actions and responses are found in Table 7-6.

7.6 Seismic Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan
“(a) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 10632, beginning January 1, 2020, the plan shall include a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the various facilities of a water system and mitigate those vulnerabilities. […] (c) An urban water supplier may comply with this section by submitting, pursuant to Section 10644, a copy of the most recent adopted local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) if the local hazard mitigation plan or multihazard mitigation plan addresses seismic risk” (CWC §§ 10632.5).

This section includes a seismic risk assessment and mitigation plan to assess the vulnerability of each of the water system’s facilities and methods to mitigate those vulnerabilities. The City’s seismic risk assessment will be updated every 5 years when updating the UWMP. Water suppliers may also comply with 2025 UWMP requirements by submitting a copy of the most recent adopted local hazard mitigation plan (HMP) or multihazard mitigation plan under the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-390) if the local HMP or multihazard mitigation plan addresses seismic risk.

The City has prepared a confidential risk and resilience assessment in compliance with America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) Public Law 115-270, S. 3021. A summary of the risk of earthquake to the City’s facilities is discussed below. Note that the Risk and Resilience Assessment (RRA) is not included as an appendix this UWMP due to security concerns, but the Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) is available in complying with 2025 UWMP requirements. Due to the large size of the HMP document only the cover and table of contents pages are included in

2025 Urban Water Management Plan Section 7: Water Shortage Contingency Planning 7-11
DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document.

Appendix H. The full document can be accessed at https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/6842/DraftLocal-Hazard-Mitigation-Plan-Update, to view the plan for the entire County.

The AWIA law requires a community water system (CWS) serving more than 3,300 people to develop an RRA and an ERP. CWSs serving a population of 50,000 or more, such as the City, were originally required to conduct an RRA and submit certification of its completion to the US Environmental Protection Agency by December 31, 2020. The deadline for completing and certifying the ERP was fixed at six months following the RRA certification. The City updated and recertified their RRA by the December 31, 2025 deadline. They are in the process of updating the ERP by June 2026. As part of the RRA and ERP, the City evaluated seismic risk to its facilities and mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of the earthquake threat.

Earthquake damage can include structural, injury, loss of life, and infrastructure damage, and can vary in degrees based on factors such as magnitude, focal depth, distance of fault, and topography.

Types of hazards related to earthquakes include the ground shaking, seismic structural safety, liquefaction, settlement, and faults.

Areas of Contra Costa County most susceptible to earthquake include those near active fault zones.

There are numerous known faults in Contra Costa County, the most significant are the Hayward, Calaveras North, Concord-Green Valley, Mount Diablo, and Greenville faults, (Contra Costa County, 2018). The Hayward and Rodgers Creek Faults have high potential for experiencing major to great seismic events. There is a 72 percent likelihood that at least one earthquake with a magnitude of

6.7 or greater will occur in the San Francisco Bay area before 2043 causing widespread damage.

The United States Geological Survey ground motion maps indicate the peak ground acceleration, that has a 10 percent probability of being exceeded in a 50-year period, is 0.4g. The entire County planning area is at risk to direct and indirect impacts from earthquakes according to the HMP. In the City, a total of 52 critical facilities were identified to be exposed to the earthquake hazard per the HMP.

Based on the 2024 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (Contra Costa County, 2024) there are no known active faults located within the City boundaries, however, there are numerous faults located in the regional vicinity. These faults include the Davis Fault and the Greenville-Marsh Creek Fault. The Greenville-Marsh Creek Fault is located about eight miles south/southwest of Brentwood. This fault produced a moderate magnitude earthquake in 1980 and has a recurrence interval estimated to be 550 years. There are also several structures in the downtown area that are seismically unreinforced and prone to collapse. Along with structures downtown, many residents live in older homes that are not built to current seismic building codes. In the event of an earthquake, the City’s vulnerable residents would be competing to secure funding and other resources. The annualized frequency of an earthquake is 0.010% chance per year.

The City’s RRA identifies specific assets and risks associated with seismic activity. Earthquake is estimated to be the City’s costliest threat per the RRA. The cost is not as significant on an asset basis, but when added together, earthquakes have the potential to impact several assets simultaneously. It was determined that many of the City’s facilities are at risk to earthquake threat including:
x COBWTP
x All pump stations
x Randall Bold Intertie

7.7 Communication Protocols
“[Describe] communication protocols and procedures to inform customers, the public, interested parties, and local, regional, and state governments, regarding, at a minimum, all of the following:
[…]” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(5)).

Timely and effective communication is a key element of WSCP implementation. The City’s communication protocols and procedures in the event of a water shortage are structured to be activated through authorization by the City Council. Under a water shortage condition, the actual water supply and demand information and conditions would be assessed to determine whether activating the WSCP is warranted. If so, the Director of Public Works would recommend activation of the appropriate stage alert, and request City Council authorization to initiate the measures necessary to achieve the appropriate demand reduction target. The public would be encouraged to understand and be involved in the decision-making process and provide feedback to the City Council on such an action. The WSCP is flexible and can be implemented to best match actual conditions of a particular water shortage event.

Specific communication protocols to inform customers, the public, interested parties, and local, regional, state governments of any current or projected shortage as determined by the Annual Assessment described in Section 7.2 and any shortage response actions as a result of the Annual Assessment are listed below:
x Expanded public information and awareness program by implementing workshops, distributing park signs, adding bill inserts, and increasing the number of educational programs at schools.

Use of social media and e-mail blasts to customers.
x A multi-year water use history is maintained in the billing software database. The City provides internet bill access capability to customers so they can easily access the past 12 months of their water use. Additional data can be requested. This is particularly useful during a water shortage condition for both the City and its customers.

7.8 Compliance and Enforcement
“[Describe]…customer compliance, enforcement, appeal, and exemption procedures for triggered shortage response actions as determined pursuant to Section 10632.2” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(6)).

Section 10632(a)(6) of the CWC requires a water supplier to describe how it will ensure compliance with and enforce provisions of the WSCP. The City, after one written warning, may install a flowrestricting device on the service line of any customer observed by City personnel to be using water for any non-essential or unauthorized use defined in a City ordinance.

An excess use penalty per 1,000 gallons of water (sometimes referred to as one unit) used above the applicable allocation during each billing period may be charged by the City for all service rendered on and after the effective date of an ordinance. Repeated violations of unauthorized water use can result in discontinuance of water service. Table 7-7 lists penalties and charges and the stage during which they take effect.

7.9 Legal Authorities
“(A) A description of the legal authorities that empower the urban water supplier to implement and enforce its shortage response actions specified in paragraph (4) that may include, but are not limited to, statutory authorities, ordinances, resolutions, and contract provisions. […] (C) A statement that an urban water supplier shall coordinate with any city or county within which it provides water supply services for the possible proclamation of a local emergency, as defined in Section 8558 of the Government Code” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(7)).

The relevant statutory authorities, local ordinances and resolutions and water supply contract provisions to which the City is subject are listed below:
x The City’s WSCP was adopted in June of 2016 as part of the City’s 2015 UWMP and is updated every five years as part of the UWMP. The City Council may, by resolution and after a noticed public hearing, determine that water shortage conditions exist within the City. Based on this determination, the City Council may determine that water shortage measures become operative within the City and remain in effect until the City Council, by resolution, determines that the water shortage condition no longer exists.

The City shall declare a water shortage emergency condition in accordance with Water Code Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 350) of Division 1 as stated below:

Declaration of water shortage emergency condition. The governing body of a distributor of a public water supply, whether publicly or privately owned and including a mutual water company, shall declare a water shortage emergency condition to prevail within the area served by such distributor whenever it finds and determines that the ordinary demands and requirements of water consumers cannot be satisfied without depleting the water supply of the distributor to the extent that there would be insufficient water for human consumption, sanitation, and fire protection.

The City shall coordinate with any city or county within which it provides water supply services for the possible proclamation of a local emergency under California Government Code, California Emergency Services Act (Article 2, Section 8558). Below is a list of contacts for all cities or counties for which the City provides services in this WSCP, along with developed coordination protocols that can facilitate compliance with the Water Code in the event of a local emergency as defined in subpart (c) of Government Code Section 8558:
x City of Brentwood, Department of Public Works – Water Operations, (925) 516-6000 x City of Brentwood, Office of Emergency Services, (925) 809-7737

7.10 Financial Consequences of WSCP
“A description of the financial consequences of, and responses for, drought conditions, including, but not limited to, all of the following: […]” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(8)).

The financial consequence of implementing the WSCP include potential revenue reductions and expense increases. The City has developed mitigation actions to reduce these impacts and the cost of compliance.

7.10.1 Potential Revenue Reductions and Expense Increases The City understands the projected ranges of water sales by shortage stage and what the impact would be on projected revenues and expenditures by each shortage stage. Revenues would decrease as consumption is decreased. Expenditures would increase as response actions are implemented. Surcharges would have to be adopted to avoid severe financial hardship during a water shortage condition.

7.10.2 Mitigation Actions
In Shortage Level 1 and 2 conditions, the City would attempt to avoid rate adjustments. However, if the water shortage conditions persisted and/or became more severe thereby further reducing demands, rate changes would be imperative.
x Memorandum Accounts - The City will establish memorandum accounts to track expenses and revenue shortfalls caused by both mandatory rationing and voluntary conservation efforts. The City may implement a surcharge to recover revenue shortfalls recorded in their drought memorandum accounts.
x Drought Rate Structures and Surcharges – City may implement a drought surcharge so the City can receive sufficient revenues to cover the cost of providing water service when consumption decreases due to drought conditions. The water shortage surcharge only applies to the metered water charge.
x Use of Financial Reserves - The City has financial reserves to address decreased water sales during a water shortage.
x Other Measures - The City does not have additional measures formalized such as postponement of capital improvements.

7.10.3 Cost of Compliance
The cost of compliance with the City’s drought rate structure and surcharges and compliance to address excessive residential water use includes City efforts such as additional staff focused on high consumption monitoring, additional water waste patrols as required as part of the City’s WSCP, and additional expenditures and fees for providing water rebates to customers that exceed water use reductions. The City’s Director of Public Works or designee will evaluate revenues and reserves monthly during a prolonged water shortage event.

7.11 Monitoring and Reporting
“[Describe] monitoring and reporting requirements and procedures that ensure appropriate data is collected, tracked, and analyzed for purposes of monitoring customer compliance and to meet state reporting requirements” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(9)).

Water production data is recorded daily. It is monitored by the Public Works Director or designee during normal and shortage water supply conditions. Totals are reported monthly and are incorporated into water supply reports. The City maintains extensive water use records on individual

2025 Urban Water Management Plan Section 7: Water Shortage Contingency Planning 7-15
DRAFT for review purposes only. Use of contents on this sheet is subject to the limitations specified at the end of this document. customer accounts. Exceptionally high usage is identified at meter reading time by the City’s electronic meter reading management system. City staff investigates these accounts for potential water loss or abuse problems. During all stages of water shortages, the Director of Public Works or designee receives and monitors daily production figures.

7.12 WSCP Refinement, Adoption, Submittal, and Availability “[Describe] reevaluation and improvement procedures for systematically monitoring and evaluating the functionality of the water shortage contingency plan in order to ensure shortage risk tolerance is adequate and appropriate water shortage mitigation strategies are implemented as needed” (CWC §§ 10632(a)(10)).

The WSCP is routinely evaluated to improve functionality to ensure the shortage risk tolerance is adequate and the appropriate water shortage mitigation strategies can be implemented as needed.

The updated WSCP is adopted, submitted, and available per the Water Code requirements.

7.12.1 Refinement Procedures
The WSCP may be updated independently of the UWMP. The City reviewed the prior WSCP following the latest drought and incorporated permanent restrictions on water use required by the SWCRB.

Additional modifications to the WSCP were considered based upon lessons learned from the recent drought. This review and update process shall be continued at a minimum of every five years in parallel with the UWMP update.

7.12.2 Adoption, Submittal, and Availability
“The urban water supplier shall make available the water shortage contingency plan prepared pursuant to this article to its customers and any city or county within which it provides water supplies no later than 30 days after adoption of the water shortage contingency plan” (CWC §§ 10632 (c)).

The WSCP is typically reviewed and adopted as part of the UWMP review and adoption process. The WSCP may also be periodically amended independently of the UWMP, as needed. In either instance the public review period and adoption process following Government Code Section 6066 are followed.

The updated WSCP is made available to the City and the appropriate cities and counties no later than 30 days after it is adopted. The WSCP is available at the City’s website and as part of the UWMP document, also located on the City’s website and the California State Library.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolutions approving the 2025 Water Shortage Contingency Plan and 2025 Urban Water Management Plan
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
STAFF: Casey Wichert, Director of Public Works
James Wolfe, Water Operations Manager

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Resolution approving the Water Shortage Contingency Plan (“WSCP”) for submittal to the California Department of Water Resources (“DWR”) as prepared by City staff and Brown and Caldwell, Engineering Consultants.

2. Adopt a Resolution approving the Urban Water Management Plan (“UWMP”) for submittal to DWR as prepared by City staff and Brown and Caldwell, Engineering Consultants.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to prepare the 2025 UWMP and WSCP was $95,538. This cost for these plans is included in the 2025/26 Water Enterprise Fund Operating Budget.

BACKGROUND
Urban Water Management Plans are prepared by California’s urban water suppliers to support long-term resource planning and ensure adequate water supplies are available to meet existing and future water demands. As required by the Urban Water Management Planning Act of 1983 (Act) (described in California Water Code (CWC) Division 6, Part 2.55 and Part 2.6, Section 10608 and Sections 10610 - 10656), every urban water supplier providing water for municipal purposes to more than 3,000 customers or supplying more than 3,000 acre-feet of water annually is required to adopt and submit an UWMP every five years to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The Act describes the contents of the UWMP as well as how urban water suppliers should adopt and implement the UWMP.

As part of this mandate, suppliers must assess the reliability of their water sources over a 20-year planning horizon, specifically considering normal, dry, and multiple dry years. This assessment is to be included in its UWMP, which is prepared every five years and submitted to the DWR.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.1
05/26/2026
The UWMP must be submitted to the DWR by July 1, 2026, and must incorporate the WSCP, but the WSCP must be treated as a separate plan for the public hearing and adoption procedures. Separate resolutions allow for the WSCP to be amended, as needed, without amending the corresponding UWMP.

Upon adoption by City Council, the 2025 UWMP will be submitted to DWR for review.

If DWR recommends changes, the UWMP will be brought back before City Council for adoption of the changes.

The draft 2025 UWMP and WSCP have been posted on the City’s website at the following link: www.brentwoodca.gov/UWMP and notifications have been sent to stakeholders advising that the documents are available to review. In accordance with Government Code 6066, a public hearing notice was published on May 8 and May 15.

Please see the public hearing staff report above on this topic for the draft UWMP and WSCP which are not also attached here due to their size.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
05/26/2026
SUBJECT: Adopt a resolution regarding 1) enhancement of Solid Waste collection services and 2) implementing lower water rates than were previously approved in the FY 2023/24 – 2027/28 Utility Rate Study
DEPARTMENT: Public Works and Finance
STAFF: Kerry Breen, Director of Finance & Information Systems Casey Wichert, Director of Public Works

TITLE/RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution regarding 1) enhancement of Solid Waste collection services to include weekly green waste (organics) collection and 2) implementing a reduced water rate increase of 4% for FY 2026/27, lowered from the previously approved

6.5%.

FISCAL IMPACT
Reduced water rate adjustments
Staff continuously monitors the financial condition of the Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Enterprise Funds. The Wastewater Fund remains within the financial parameters established by the most recent utility rate study. However, due to a combination of cost savings, project cancellations, and higher than anticipated revenues, the Water Fund has the capacity to implement a lower annual rate increase compared to what was previously adopted by the City Council. The adopted rate study authorized an increase of 6.5% for FY 2026/27. Based on current financial conditions, on April 28, 2026 staff recommended and the City Council directed staff to return with a resolution formalizing a reduction in the increase to 4% (applied to the current FY 2025/26 rates).

FY 2026/27 6.5% 4.0%

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
05/26/2026
Enhanced Solid Waste Collection Services
The adopted rate study authorized rate increases between 3% – 5% for FY 2026/27 and 3% – 4% for FY 2027/28, depending upon type of service (cart, bin and roll-off).

The existing rate study contemplated significant additional costs associated with the implementation of Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) requirements. The Solid Waste Fund is in a financial position to offer enhanced collection services which would help address concerns raised by residents regarding bi-weekly collection of green waste.

On April 28, 2026 staff recommended and the City Council directed that staff return with a resolution to allow enhancement of the Solid Waste service level to include weekly green waste collection service.

Enhanced Organics Service (Weekly Garbage and Green Waste; Bi-weekly Recycling)
 One-time cost (funded by existing excess cash reserves): Approximately $4.5 million for the purchase of five new single-body garbage trucks.  On-going costs: Approximately $1.7 million per year (FY 2026/27 dollars) including three additional drivers and one additional truck mechanic.  Rate adjustment: No change to previously adopted rate increases (3% – 5%) and no expected impact to future rates.

Feature Impact/Cost
Green Waste Service (including
Organics) Weekly Collection (upgraded)
Recycling Service Bi-weekly Collection (no change)
Effect on Rates
No change to adopted increases;
no impact beyond inflation for
next rate study
One-Time Cost Approximately $4.5M (Purchase of
5 new trucks)
Ongoing Annual Cost* Approximately $1.7M
*Ongoing annual costs include increased costs for personnel, electricity, fuel, maintenance, insurance, administration and replacement funding.

Authorization for the new positions, budgets for personnel costs, vehicles and other operating costs will be incorporated into the final version of the Fiscal Year 2026/27 – 2027/28 Operating Budget and presented for consideration of adoption at the June 23, 2026 City Council meeting.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
05/26/2026

BACKGROUND
During the Council meeting on April 28, 2026, staff requested City Council direction related to enhancement of Solid Waste collection services and implementing lower water rates than were previously approved in the FY 2023/24 – 2027/28 Utility Rate Study. Council discussion led to clear direction to staff to enhance Solid Waste services by implementing weekly pick-up of green waste and implement lower than previously approved water rate increases for next fiscal year.

Since the models used for the FY 2023/24 – 2027/28 Water, Wastewater, and Solid Waste Rate Studies are projections, staff performs regular analysis of the financial health of the funds and verifies that the adopted rates provide the necessary revenues to ensure financial stability. If changes to the adopted rate schedules are warranted, staff presents the analysis to Council and makes a recommendation for any needed changes to the previously adopted rates. On June 24, 2025 the City Council approved a 4% increase for FY 2025/26 for the Water Enterprise rather than the 6.5% increase adopted in the original rate study. Staff recommended the same change for FY 2026/27 at the April 28, 2026, City Council meeting.

Water
The Water Enterprise Fund remains healthy, and the fund balance has increased since the rate study was completed in 2023. Of particular note, approximately $7 million was set aside for buy-in to the planned expansion of the Los Vaqueros Dam Expansion Project. That project has dissolved, and the $7 million set aside for that project is now available for other uses. Annual personnel and supplies and services budget savings have added to the fund balance. In addition, the Water Enterprise Fund is experiencing higher revenues due to higher water use. As a result, the Water Enterprise has a cash balance above the target reserve amount.

As directed at the April 28, 2026, City Council meeting, Staff is requesting that Council approve a lower rate increase than what was adopted in the 2023 rate study with a 4% water rate increase rather than the previously approved 6.5% increase for FY 2026/27. The FY 2026/27 increase would be calculated from the current FY 2025/26 rates.

Solid Waste and Enhanced Services
The Solid Waste Enterprise Fund remains healthy, and the fund balance has increased since the rate study was completed in 2023. Of particular note, the rate study included several million dollars of debt service for the Solid Waste Organics project.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. H.2
05/26/2026
That project was estimated to cost $95 million, but ultimately increased to $160 million. Due to the significant project cost increase, staff determined that it was in the best interest to abandon the project. Staff has also been able to delay the implementation of increased costs associated with SB 1383 compliance which has contributed to the financial health of the Enterprise.

SB 1383 requires food waste and organics to be placed in the green cart. Staff has received feedback from residents that the hot summer months could result in increased odors and pest activity around green waste. With the cancellation of the Solid Waste Organics project, the Solid Waste Enterprise has the financial capacity to address these concerns with enhanced (i.e., weekly) green waste collection services.

Weekly green waste collection service will require the purchase of five new singlebody trucks to handle the increased collection activity. These new trucks will likely be EV-powered and will count towards the City’s requirements to convert fleet vehicles from gas powered to EV. In addition, three new drivers will be needed to staff the additional routes created by the increased level of service, and one new truck mechanic will be needed to maintain the additional trucks. The existing cash balance in the Fund will be sufficient to fund the purchase of the trucks and the scheduled rate increases (3% - 5% for FY 2026/27 & 3% - 4% for FY 2027/28) will be sufficient to cover the ongoing cost of new employees for the remaining two years of the current rate study. The next rate study will not be negatively impacted by the enhanced services, and staff anticipates that future rate increases will be near inflation levels.

As directed by the City Council on April 28, 2026, staff is requesting approval to implement adjustments to Solid Waste collection services to transition from bi-weekly to weekly green waste service.

WHEREAS, the Wastewater Enterprise fund remains healthy and forecasted expenditures indicate the previously adopted 2% annual increases are appropriate; and
WHEREAS, the Water Enterprise Fund remains healthy, and the fund balance has increased substantially since the rate study was completed in 2023; and WHEREAS, the proposed 4% water rate increase for Fiscal Year 2026/27 is lower than the 6.5% increase previously approved by the City Council and does not exceed the maximum rates previously noticed and approved through the Proposition 218 process; and
WHEREAS, Staff recommends a 4% rate increase for the Water Enterprise Fund for the 2026/27 fiscal year instead of the 6.5% increase that was adopted in the 2023 rate study; and
WHEREAS, Staff is recommending no changes to the previously approved Solid Waste rate increases for the next two fiscal years; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that this action is not a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it involves utility rate-setting, fiscal planning, and service-level direction and does not commit the City to a specific physical project that may result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
