Subject: Transmittal of FY 2026-27 Recommended Operating & Capital Budgets This letter transmits the Encina Wastewater Authority’s (Encina) Recommended Fiscal Year 2026-27 Operating and Capital Budgets. In conformance with the Revised Basic Agreement for Ownership, Operation and Maintenance of the Encina Joint Sewage System, this Recommended Budget estimates the amount of money required to sustainably operate, maintain and administer the Joint System during Fiscal Year 2026-27. It also includes estimates for each Member Agency’s proportionate share of the budget.

Encina’s operations directly support public and environmental health and a North San Diego economy in excess of $20 billion dollars. The economic environment Encina operates in continues to be characterized by elevated volatility and uncertainty.

Cost pressures related to insurance, construction materials, energy, and other critical inputs continue to be influenced by these factors. This budget emphasizes adaptability, sustainability, and long-term resilience. It reflects the deliberate actions of staff to manage near-term cost pressures while advancing strategies and tactical goals that strengthen Encina’s financial and operational position over time, some of which are discussed below. This budget continues the journey to proactively adapt to a volatile environment and creates a roadmap to help ensure Encina protects public and environmental health for generations to come.

As shown in the table below, the Recommended Fiscal Year 2026-27 budget reflects a 3.9% increase over last year’s budget:

The following sections will describe how this budget will allow Encina to continue its mission to provide reliable, resilient and sustainable wastewater services to North San Diego County while optimizing the use of renewable resources.

OPERATING BUDGET OVERVIEW
The FY 2026-27 Operating Budget reflects Encina’s continuing commitment to provide sustainable and fiscally responsible wastewater services to the communities it serves while maximizing the use of alternative and renewable resources. The Recommended FY 2026-27 Operating Budget is comprised of seven (7) operational programs that provide services to the Encina Member Agencies. Each operational program includes direct personnel and non-personnel expenses and related internal service fund (ISF) charges. The Recommended FY 2026-27 Budget reflects management’s strategies and objectives to ensure continued achievement within each of the six (6) Strategic Initiatives identified in the Five-Year Strategic Plan (2024- 2028): Protect Public and Environmental Health; Remain an Employer of Choice; Ensure Administrative Effectiveness; Maintain Infrastructure Reliability & Safeguard Public Assets; Pursue Resource Recovery; and Optimize Operational Performance.

The Recommended FY 2026-27 Operating Budget totals approximately $29.9M for the seven (7) operational programs summarized below:

The operating budget increases appear to be stabilizing after recent years’ impacts due to volatility. While that is true, personnel costs continue to play a factor in the increase due to their share of the budget. As part of Encina’s commitment to an adaptive management approach to staffing, a reorganization was implemented during Fiscal Year 2025–26 to better align resources with current operational needs while maintaining overall headcount. Within the Operating Program, two Operations Manager positions, the Operations Training and Quality Control Specialist position, and an operator position were eliminated. The change associated with the elimination of one Operations Manager is discussed in the General Capital section below.

The elimination of the second Operations Manager position enabled the creation of a new Energy Systems Manager position to support Encina’s evolving energy infrastructure. This role is anticipated to provide oversight of Encina’s existing energy infrastructure and future energy systems, including potential linear generators, battery storage, and a microgrid controller associated with the Cogeneration Low Emission & Augmentation Retrofit (CLEAR) project.

In addition, the elimination of the Operations Training and Quality Control Specialist position allowed for the creation of an Electrical and Instrumentation Technician position. This change reflects Encina’s increasing reliance on automated systems and the need for specialized technical staff to support the operation and maintenance of more complex equipment.

Lastly, the elimination of an Operator position allowed for the creation of an Environmental Compliance Analyst position.

This change reflects Encina’s increasingly complex regulatory requirements, especially in air quality, and the need for specialized technical staff to support the tracking, implementation, and recordkeeping associated with more complex regulations.

The budget also reflects the implementation of year one in the three-year salary and benefit package approved by the Board of Directors in April 2026. Overall, staffing cost increases have moderated. Increases in health benefit costs are partially offset by employee elections. Costs related to CalPERS unfunded accrued liability and Encina’s Pension Policy are included within this budget. The additional discretionary payment budgeted pursuant to the Pension Policy is significantly lower than last year as a result of CalPERS investment performance which resulted in a slightly lower overall unfunded liability payment.

Chemical pricing has stabilized, with Encina’s primary chemical contracts locked in during Spring 2025. The largest chemical contract allows no price increases for three years, while other contracts cap annual increases at 5%. In addition, new Operating Program Actual

instrumentation has improved dosing efficiency, reducing ferric usage required to manage organic loading and lowering the associated budget.

Planned Heat Dryer maintenance in the upcoming fiscal year will suspend Class A biosolids production for up to 12 weeks.

The maintenance includes re-cladding the rotary drum to extend the useful life of the Heat Dryer, which has operated continuously for more than 14 years since its installation under the Phase V projects. As a result, biosolids hauling, electricity, natural gas, and polymer operating accounts will be impacted.

Energy continues to impact the operating budget. The commissioning of Digester 4 has increased overall electricity consumption, as the 150 ‑HP mix pump operates continuously. Over the longer term, the CLEAR project currently in development is intended to stabilize energy costs, taking full advantage of on-site resources, and address increasingly stringent air‑quality regulations while maximizing value for Encina and its Member Agencies.

The operating budget also includes funding for a strategic assessment of the South Parcel to evaluate potential monetization opportunities that could generate non ‑rate revenue. This effort is intended to help mitigate upward pressure on future operating costs passed through to Member Agencies and their ratepayers, while maintaining long‑term operational and policy flexibility for Encina.

CAPITAL BUDGET OVERVIEW
The Recommended FY 2026-27 Capital Budget totals approximately $25.3M for the following Encina capital programs summarized below:

Despite a history of strategic planning, capital costs have increased rapidly over the past 4 years driven by the global volatility discussed in previous budgets. While the Recommended FY 2026-27 Capital Budget reflects pressures from several directions including aging infrastructure renewal, solids management capacity due to solids inflow growth, and regulations, it also reflects the opportunity to adapt to a new paradigm, while enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.

Aging Infrastructure Renewal
Facility age and a uniquely corrosive marine environment, given Encina’s coastal location and the nature of the resources Encina manages, are putting significant pressure on infrastructure renewal. The original treatment plant was constructed in 1963 with Phase I and II following in 1971 and 1975 respectively. The first three phases were built between 50 and 62 years ago. Phase III and IV were built in 1988 and 1992, respectively; over 30 years ago. Phase V, the most recent comprehensive expansion, was built in 2006. Based on estimates from July 2025 Encina is responsible for ~$808 million worth of Joint System Assets at the EWPCF. Many of these assets are near or at the end of their useful life. Failure to proactively maintain Encina’s aging infrastructure can lead to process failures resulting in wastewater spills that negatively impact the environment and Capital Program Actual

north San Diego County economy. Over the next several years, plant rehabilitation to maintain core services is expected to have a cost order of magnitude of ~$75 million through Fiscal Year 2030-31. This does not include other necessary infrastructure upgrades discussed below.

Solids Management Capacity due to Growth
Growth within the Member Agencies’ service area is also putting pressure on Encina’s solids management capacity. About 63% of the overall 43.31 million gallons per day of solids capacity is currently used which creates three challenges. First, reduced hydraulic detention time of solids in the digesters is near the permit limit of 15 days with one digester out of service.

This permit limit allows for the disposal of Class “B” solids when the heat dryer system does not have adequate capacity to meet demands. The Biosolids Management Plan completed in 2022 identified the need for either increased hydraulic capacity at the digesters or the installation of a second heat dryer system; adding hydraulic capacity was determined to be the least cost alternative as rehabilitation of unused existing infrastructure would reduce overall project costs. Second, the additional digester capacity would provide buffering capabilities if Encina experiences a process upset where an upset digester would need to be isolated and the biological activity restored to normal levels without the potential to spill digested solids. Third, spare solids management capacity is needed to ensure preventive maintenance can be performed on the digesters helping increase infrastructure sustainability and resiliency and lowering long-term costs. Without the spare capacity to meet permit requirements, allow for appropriate control of process upsets and for proactive and preventative maintenance, the risk of permit violations, infrastructure failures and costly rehabilitation increases significantly. Over the next 5 years, improvements to Encina's Digester 1, 2, and 3 are expected to have a cost order of magnitude of $40-50 million, in 2026 dollars.

Regulatory Environment
Stringent regulations continue to put significant pressure on Encina and contribute to increased long term business risk due to their unpredictable nature. Encina leadership remains engaged with current and planned regulatory efforts by local, state, and federal agencies with authority over authority over Encina’s operations, especially: air quality, ocean outfall water quality, and biosolids disposal. The most evident impact on Encina’s budget is due to air quality regulations on toxic compounds by the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, threatening Encina’s continued use of the cogeneration engines to produce power onsite. Without a viable and adaptable alternative, Encina calculated energy costs would increase ~$3.3 million annually, in 2025 dollars. The CLEAR project aims to stabilize those energy costs while simultaneously addressing air quality regulations. Federal funding totaling ~$14 million is expected to offset a portion of the expected ~$30 million for the CLEAR project.

In regards to water quality and biosolids, staff anticipates Encina’s 2018 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, will be renewed by 2027 with additional requirements not yet known. It is expected the Regional Water Quality Control Board will require monitoring of nutrients discharged from the Encina Ocean Outfall, along with costly Polyfluorinated Aromatic Compounds (PFAS) sampling in ocean discharge and biosolids. Future restriction of nutrients allowed from Encina’s outfall could be ultimately incredibly costly, estimated between $100-$220 million in 2025 dollars, and investments beyond monitoring would be needed as early as the next permit cycle in 2032-2037. Biosolids disposal rules under the Federal Clean Water Act appear stable under the current administration, but state legislation or other market pressures from the state of Arizona may impact Encina’s ability to continue current biosolids hauling and disposal practices in future fiscal years.

General Capital
The proposed capital budget reflects steps to begin addressing these challenges. The Capital Improvement Projects are planned, scoped, and prioritized to consider anticipated changes in regulatory requirements, prospective operational efficiencies, funding availability, available resources and other factors.

Staffing resources are also critical to the successful execution of the decades-long capital plan to address Encina’s challenges.

As such, the Recommended FY 2026-27 Capital Budget includes funding for ~11 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions. These positions include full and part-time efforts of Encina executives, professionals, managers, and technical staff who plan, direct, and support Encina’s Capital Program. The addition of the Engineer position during the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget cycle has helped support the significant workload associated with Encina’s aging infrastructure, capacity improvements, and regulatory requirements. As part of Encina’s commitment to “adaptive management” and to further support the capital program, two additional changes were made during Fiscal Year 2025-26. The Engineering Services Manager position was eliminated and a Director of Engineering position was created. Additionally, one Operations Manager position was eliminated and an Associate Engineer position was created. These staffing changes are anticipated to support project delivery, long-term asset management, and regulatory and permit compliance, among other factors.

Capital Improvement Projects for FY 2026-27 include new and continued funding of the Primary Sedimentation Basin Mechanical Rehabilitation ($5.6M), the Secondaries & Effluent Electrical & Controls Improvements ($4.5M), Odor Reducing Facility I System Rehabilitation ($2.5M), and CLEAR ($1.5M), along with over 55 other projects of lesser value.

Planned Asset Rehabilitation and Replacement (PARR) effort at EWPCF reflects minor plant rehabilitation efforts undertaken by Encina staff to maintain the Joint System assets. PARR Projects total ~$1.7M. EWPCF Capital Acquisitions total ~$0.5M and reflect investment in minor infrastructure and equipment. Remote Facilities – Acquisitions and Rehabilitation total ~$1.2M and reflect investment in remote facility improvements.

SUMMARY
Staff has made every effort to coordinate with the Member Agencies and provides its best professional judgement based on understanding the day-to-day operating requirements and capital investment needs while developing the budget. This budget represents a comprehensive plan to address the challenges Encina is facing. The two largest factors influencing the success of its decades-long plan are funding and staffing. As such, staff will be working with the Member Agencies to identify alternatives to pay-as-you-go funding to help minimize the financial impacts to their ratepayers and realize the economic value of Encina’s resources. A staffing framework has also been developed to support these efforts. However, given the impacts of adding staff, Encina is proposing to take an “adaptive management" approach to ensure Encina continues to operate using a lean staffing model; only having the staff necessary to support its mission and reassessing staffing needs when appropriate. This commitment has been demonstrated by the staffing changes discussed elsewhere in this letter and reflected in the Authorized Positions section of the budget. Staff will be working with the Board and Member Agencies on solutions over the next decade to ensure Encina can continue to protect public and environmental health for generations to come.

Through efforts by staff, Encina consistently looks for opportunities to enhance efficiency and provide value to its Member Agencies and their rate payers. As a result, Encina has been able to hold a very tight line on all costs that are discretionary with an increase of ~0.8% above last year’s budget. Encina continues to look for long-term solutions to infrastructure challenges that provide lasting value for the community it serves.

Please join me in recognizing the staff whose efforts produced this document. Assistant General Manager Jennifer Sabine, who prepared and developed operations estimates with the Executive Leadership team at Encina. Aaron Beanan, Director of Finance, who led efforts in the preparation and development of the Recommended FY 2026-27 Budget. Finally, the Executive Leadership Team coordinated the budget development processes within their respective departments.

RESOURCE RECOVERY
Encinas has long been a leader in the wastewater industry while still remaining within the industry standards for cost of service. Encina
was one of the first in the nation to
adopt a cogeneration model back in
the 1980’s, one of the first in the state
and nation to adopt a heat dryer
model, and one of the first in the
nation to use beer wastes as a power
generation source in 2017. Each of
these has provided value to Encina, its
Member Agencies, and their
ratepayers. Because of Encina’s
unique approach within the industry, it provides exceptional value for its Member Agencies and ratepayers.

ORGANIZATION OF EXCELLENCE

ENCINA WATER POLLUTION CONTROL FACILITY
The Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (EWPCF), located in Carlsbad, California, provides wastewater treatment services to approximately 380,000 residents in a 123 square mile service area of northwest San Diego County. The EWPCF consists of three major components: the treatment plant; the Encina Ocean Outfall (EOO); and the Joint Flow Metering System (JFMS).

The EWPCF was constructed in 1963 to treat wastewater from the Cities of Carlsbad and Vista, with the City of Encinitas, Vallecitos Water District, Buena Sanitation District and Leucadia Wastewater District joining the partnership in the subsequent years. Since its original design and construction, the treatment plant has undergone four (4) major expansions – the latest completed in 2009 – and is beginning another round of construction to address reliability and aging infrastructure.

Today, the EWPCF is a modern resource recovery facility that produces: clean water for recycling and Pacific Ocean discharge (via primary and secondary activated sludge treatment processes); flow equalization facilities; and a 1.5 mile EOO, which discharges treated effluent at an average depth of one-hundred-fifty (150) feet; a granular fertilizer marketed under the trade name PureGreen (via anaerobic digesters, solids dewatering centrifuges, and a triple-pass rotary drum heat dryer); and, between 80 and 85% of the electricity required to power the EWPCF (via a Combined Heat & Cogeneration Power System) in a typical year. In addition, the JFMS consists of nineteen (19) flow meters strategically placed throughout the collection system. The data collected at these metering sites, which is analyzed and certified by an independent consultant, is a critical element in allocating EWPCF costs among the Encina Member Agencies.

Capacity – The EWPCF has a rated liquid treatment capacity of 40.51 million gallons per day (MGD) and a rated solids treatment capacity of 43.53 MGD. During FY 2025-26, the EWPCF will: (1) clean more than 9.14 billion gallons of water; (2) recycle about 2.1 billion gallons for on-site use and regional irrigation; and, (3) process 103 million gallons of digested sludge into over 6,979 tons of biosolids as 5,088 tons of Class A Exceptional Quality biosolids and 1,891 tons of Class B biosolids based on prior year actuals.

Cost Allocation – The EWPCF costs are allocated among member agencies based on ownership and usage charges in accordance with the Financial Plan and Revenue Program. EOO costs are allocated among Member Agencies based on the volume of effluent discharged. JFMS costs are allocated among the Member Agencies based on the number, location and type of meters.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
& REGIONAL SOURCE CONTROL
The EWPCF discharges clean water to the Pacific Ocean via the Encina Ocean Outfall pursuant to a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit issued under the authority of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA also covers non-domestic sources of wastewater that discharge directly to a publicly owned treatment works like the EWPCF.

Such discharges may be federally regulated or regulated by Encina’s Pretreatment Ordinance, which are enforced by Encina in cooperation with the host Member Agency under authority derived from the federal CWA. The goal of Encina’s Regional Source Control Program is to prevent the discharge of pollutants into the Member Agency sewer system, which may interfere with the operation of the EWPCF or pass through the system and negatively impact the ocean environment, the quality of PureGreen fertilizer or the ability to reclaim water. The Source Control Program achieves this goal by: identifying regulated industries; conducting facility inspections; issuing wastewater discharge permits; sampling industrial discharges to determine compliance; taking enforcement in response to noncompliance; responding to Member Agency requests to perform investigations regarding non-routine discharges; and, conducting related public outreach activities.

Capacity – During FY 2026-27 staff estimates sixty (60) industries will be fully permitted under a Class I, II, or III permit, while another 520 businesses will participate in Encina’s Best Management Practices Program.

Cost Allocation – Personnel Expenses make up over 83% of Source Control’s budgeted expenses. Over 81% of personnel expenses are allocated to Member Agencies based on the actual level of effort by staff. The remaining personnel expenses and all non-personnel expenses are allocated to the Member Agencies on the basis of Encina Ocean Outfall flows.

REMOTE FACILITIES

CARLSBAD WATER RECYCLING FACILITY
The Carlsbad Water Recycling Facility (CWRF) is owned by the City of Carlsbad via the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. The facility is located on nine (9) acres directly adjacent to the southwest border of the EWPCF.

Capacity – The CWRF treats EWPCF secondary effluent to meet title 22, California Code of Regulations standards for disinfected tertiary recycled water, which is conveyed throughout the City for irrigation purposes. A plant expansion completed during FY 2016-17 increased the plant capacity to 7 MGD.

Cost Allocation – The CWRF is operated by Encina under a contract with the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. 100% of the costs for operating and maintaining the CWRF are paid by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District, via the City of Carlsbad, in accordance with the February 2025 Memorandum of Understanding. Recommended expenses are based on the expected recycled water production volume. Production volume is anticipated to remain consistent during Fiscal Year 2026-27 due to decreased production at the Vallecitos Water District’s Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility. The Meadowlark Water Reclamation Facility typically supplies a portion of the City of Carlsbad’s recycled water needs but will continue to be offline due to planned maintenance activities for a portion of the fiscal year. Actual expenditures will reflect the actual volume of recycled water production.

INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
Internal Service Funds (ISFs) make categorical and overhead charges to operating and capital programs. Categorical charges are costs incurred by the ISF that are directly attributable to a particular operating or capital program the ISF supports.

Overhead charges are costs incurred by the ISF that support more than one operating or capital program. Encina’s budget reflects three ISFs: (1) Administration; (2) Laboratory; and, (3) Energy Management. The existence of these ISFs traces back to the 1998 Encina Staffing Reorganization and management’s effort to distinguish between costs required to ensure public health, produce effluent water compliant with NPDES Permit standards, and maintain the associated Encina Joint System infrastructure from costs associated with administering the Encina Joint System that could be taken on by a Member Agency or a third party administrator (Administration), permit compliance activities that could be contracted out (Laboratory), and power that could be purchased from San Diego Gas & Electric (Energy Management).

Administration – The Administration Internal Service Fund provides professional support services to Encina’s Board of Directors as well as all Operating and Capital Programs. Administration plans and executes Encina’s business, asset management, and financial plans; provides treasury and accountancy management; is responsible for required and supplemental financial reporting; administers all human resources functions, employee benefits, professional development, and other “Employer of Choice” initiatives; and, supports Encina’s governance activities. Administration also supports technology infrastructure, provides cybersecurity and data protection, provides disaster recovery and continuity planning, provides support and helpdesk services, and helps ensure compliance with various governance activities.

Laboratory – The Laboratory Internal Service Fund is responsible for monitoring and reporting activities required by: (1) Encina’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit; (2) permits related to facilities operated and maintained by Encina staff; (3) Encina’s Storm Water Permit; and, (4) permits and contracts related to biosolids use. The Laboratory is also responsible for management of Encina’s Joint Flow Metering System (JFMS), as well as the sampling and data compilation elements of Encina’s Financial Plan and Revenue Program.

Encina’s Laboratory, which is certified by the State of California’s Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program, analyzes over 30,000 samples per year including process control, plant influent and effluent, biosolids, industrial user samples, ocean water, storm water, and drinking water. A portion of the analyses is completed under contract for Encina’s Member Agencies, which generated over $205,000 in revenue in FY 2024-25, the most recent audited data, offsetting operating expenses.

Energy Management – The Energy Management Internal Service Fund utilizes the EWPCF’s power production and heat exchange facilities to maximize the beneficial reuse of digester gas produced in the wastewater treatment process thus minimizing the amount of energy Encina must purchase to operate the EWPCF. EWPCF’s Energy Management facilities generates about 12 million kilowatt hours of green electricity per year from biogas thus providing up to 85% of the electricity required to operate the EWPCF. Encina is a member of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Green Power Partnership and has been ranked in the Top 30 of the Green Power Leadership Club for On-Site Generation since 2011.

Cost Allocation – All ISF costs and revenues are allocated internally to one or more Operating or Capital program on the basis of use. Each Operating and Capital program has its own cost allocation that apportions its net costs the Member Agencies.

CAPITAL PROGRAM
The Authority’s Capital Program consists of the following elements: (1) EWPCF – Capital Improvements; (2) EWPCF – Planned Asset Rehabilitation & Replacement; (3) EWPCF – Capital Acquisitions; (4) Remote Facilities – Acquisitions & Rehabilitation; (5) Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan; and (6) Twenty Year Capital Improvement Plan.

EWPCF – Capital Improvements – Capital Improvement Projects are those projects that increase or maintain the capacity of the Joint System and require a significant time commitment from staff. These projects regularly span multiple fiscal years and, therefore, unspent appropriations are carried forward by the Authority’s annual Appropriations Resolution. Capital Project costs are allocated to Member Agencies based on ownership of the affected facilities. All Capital Projects are studied, designed, and executed pursuant to Encina’s Comprehensive Asset Management Plan.

Encina Wastewater Authority, 2014
EWPCF – Planned Asset Rehabilitation & Replacement – Planned Asset Rehabilitation & Replacement projects extend the useful life of existing Joint System facilities and require a significant time commitment from staff. These projects are typically completed within a fiscal year, however, if a project cannot be completed, the Authority’s annual Appropriations Resolution will identify unspent appropriations to be carried forward. Planned Asset Replacement costs are allocated based on ownership of the affected facilities.

EWPCF – Capital Acquisitions – Capital Acquisitions include the purchase of new items and minor facility projects that maintain the capacity and useful life of existing Joint System facilities. Expenditures are allocated based on the benefiting program or internal service fund.

Remote Facilities – Acquisitions & Rehabilitation – Remote Facility Acquisitions and Rehabilitation include the purchase of new items and minor facility projects that maintain the capacity and useful life of existing remote facilities operated by the Authority. Expenditures are allocated based on ownership of the affected facilities.

CAPITAL PROGRAM (cont.)

LONG TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan – The Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan includes expenditure projections for current and planned projects expected to require additional appropriations through FY 2030-3`, as identified by Encina’s Comprehensive Asset Management Plan (E-CAMP) documents. The Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan is developed and sequenced pursuant to E-CAMP.

Twenty-Year Capital Improvement Plan – The Twenty-Year Capital Improvement Plan includes expenditure projections for current and planned projects expected to require additional appropriations through FY 2045-46.

As planning reports are updated or other information becomes available, the long-term financial schedules may be revised.

Capital Programs may also be modified due to unanticipated wastewater service requirements by one or more Member Agencies, cost inflation, changes in local population and development growth patterns, and new regulatory requirements. All projections are shown in current year dollars.

1. Amount authorized represents Board of Director's appropriations/authorizations (>$100,000) and/or General Manager appropriations/authorization (<$100,000) and may be different than existing project appropriations due to the "cash flow" budgeting approach for projects.

2. Historical data based on available information from when Munis was implemented over 10 years ago.

3. Reflects transfers occuring after the FY 2025-26 published budget document and may include transfers to/from projects now closed. The transfers are due to project timining differences and in lieu of appropriation requests to minimize cash flow impacts.

4. Includes actual expenditures through mid-February 2025.

5. The estimated carryforward includes encumbrances and available balance through mid-February 2025 and may vary based on actual spending through fiscal year end.

6. Cogeneration Low Emission Augmentation & Retrofit (CLEAR) project offsets are currently anticipated from Investment Tax Credit (via the Inflation Reduction Act) and Self-Generation Incentive Program (via the California Public Utilities Commission) funds.

7. Represent prior projects with current activity not included in FY 2024-25 published budget document.

8. Partially offset by Federal grant revenues.

9. Represents anticipated expenditures based on historical experience that have not yet been assigned to a specific project.

LONG-TERM CAPITAL FINANCIAL PLAN
5 YEAR and 20 YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET

1. Project offsets are currently anticipated from the Investment Tax Credit program ("ITC" via the Inflation Reduction Act) for the recently completed Digester Rehabilitation & Improvements project. Based on the most recent data from Baker Tilly, which uses project estimates from January 2025 and assumes a project "without domestic content," ~$7.55M in ITC funding is possible for the digester project. Encina plans on applying for the ITC funding around May 2026. If funding is received, it is anticipated to be received during Fiscal Year 2026-27.

2. Cogeneration Low Emission Augmentation & Retrofit (CLEAR) project offsets are currently anticipated from the Investment Tax Credit program ("ITC" via the Inflation Reduction Act) and Self-Generation Incentive Program (via the California Public Utilities Commission) funds. Based on the most recent data from Baker Tilly, which uses project estimates from January 2025 and assumes a project "without domestic content," ~$9.40M in ITC funding is possible for the CLEAR project. Based on Encina's SGIP application, ~$1.15M may be available for the CLEAR project. If grant funding is received, it is anticipated to be received upon completion of the project.
