Staff Report

Meeting Date: August 19, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Ray Bruno, Fire Chief
Item Name: Weed Abatement - TIME AND PLACE FIXED TO CONSIDER A PUBLIC

HEARING TO APPROVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF

THE CITY OF COLTON TO ADOPT A REPORT AND STATEMENT OF EXPENSES FOR THE CITY’S WEED ABATEMENT PROGRAM AND IMPOSING A LIEN UPON PROPERTY FOR PAYMENT THEREOF, RESOLUTION NO. R-67-25.

Recommended Action:

Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action:

1. Adopt Resolution R-67-25 to accept the report of cost for the 2024/25 weed abatement program and authorize the inclusion of these costs to be added to the San Bernardino County Assessors' Tax Rolls for collection.

2. Continue to implement year-round weed abatement as per Resolution R-82-24, approved on August 6, 2024.

Background:

The 2024–2025 Weed Abatement Program has been successfully administered, addressing approximately 197 parcels throughout the City. Of these, roughly 55 parcels required abatement by the City’s contractor, while the remaining parcels were cleared by property owners prior to contractor intervention. Under previous circumstances, this would conclude the enforcement phase of the program.

On August 6, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution R-82-24, which transitions the weed abatement program to a year-round enforcement model. As a result, we are required to reopen the process and hold this public hearing in accordance with the updated program guidelines.

Issues/Analysis:

At the regular City Council Meeting on August 6, 2024, Resolution R-82-24 was passed, designating weeds, rubbish, and trash as public nuisances, and directing the Fire Chief to oversee

Page 9 of 182 ends

abatement measures and include all uncollected fees to be added to the San Bernardino County Assessor’s Tax Rolls for collection.

Fiscal Impacts:

The total administrative fees for the 2024/25 weed abatement program amount to approximately $68,480, with contractors' fees totaling $23,974. Invoices have been issued to property owners, with outstanding balances due by August 10, 2025. Unpaid invoices will be added to the Property Tax Rolls for collection. These “pass-through” costs are recouped through direct billing and the County Tax Rolls.

Alternatives:

1. Provide alternative directions to staff.

Attachments:

1. RESOLUTION R-67-25

Staff Report

Meeting Date: August 19, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Ray Bruno, Fire Chief
Item Name: Fee Update - Fire Department User Fees - TIME AND PLACE FIXED TO

CONSIDER A PUBLIC HEARING TO APPROVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE

CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON UPDATING FIRE DEPARTMENT FEES FOR

SERVICES PERFORMED BY THE CITY, ESTABLISHING NEW FEES, AND REPEALING SELECTED FEES ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION NO. R-32-21, RESOLUTION NO. R-64-

25. Recommended Action:

It is recommended that the City Council approve the updated Fire Department Fee Schedule and adopt Resolution R-64-25.

Background:

In 2011, the City undertook a comprehensive User Fee Study with a consultant to review and update fees city-wide. Over an 18-month timeframe, all fees were reviewed and assessed based on expenditures and comparable fees with neighboring, similarly sized cities. On February 19, 2013, City Council adopted Resolution R-05-13, which created a new Master Fee Schedule updating all fees city-wide. In 2016, Resolution R-49-16 was passed amending a portion of the fire department fees, increasing some fees by 3.8% to account for increases in cost-of-service delivery. The last fee update was in 2021 when the City adopted Resolution R-32-21.

Issues/Analysis:

Since the adoption of Resolution R-32-21, costs to provide services by the Fire Department have increased with no increase in fees collected. The Community Risk Reduction (CRR) Division has continued to expand their list of services; with the rising costs of supplies and equipment and the increase in demand for services and additional needs for personnel to carry out these services, updated fees are necessary to meet the same service levels.

The attached Exhibit “A” shows the approximate four-month Fire Prevention Fee Study

conducted by Willdan. The process of assessing fees was a collaborative effort between Willdan and CRR staff, who identified services rendered and calculated time in motion to assess cost recovery. Fire suppression and emergency response cost recovery are tied to actual staff, supply, and equipment loss or damage costs. Vehicle and administrative costs are tied to the annually updated Agreement for Local Government Fire and Emergency Assistance, also known as the California Fire Assistance Agreement (CFAA).

Fiscal Impacts:

Although the previous fee study conducted in 2021 achieved full cost recovery, rising operational expenses have since impacted service delivery. Based on current analysis, Willdan has determined that the Colton Fire Department’s Community Risk Reduction Division is now recovering only 76% of the actual cost for services rendered. The adoption of the proposed updated fee schedule would restore full cost recovery, resulting in an average fee increase of 24%. This adjustment is projected to generate approximately $133,000 in additional annual revenue to offset the increase in costs and achieve cost recovery for fee services. Cost recovery revenues will be assessed through the mid-year budget to ensure alignment with current fee volume.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff.

1 Fire User Fee Study

Executive Summary
The City of Colton engaged Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) to determine the full costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which th e City charges user fees. Due to the complexity an d the breadth of performing a comprehensive review of fee s, Willdan employed a variety of fee methodologies to identify the full costs of individual fee and pr ogram activities. This report and the appendices h erein identifies 100% full cost recovery for City service s and the recommended level of recovery as determin ed through discussion with departmental staff.

The reality of the local government fee environment is that significant increases to achieve 100% cost recovery can often not be feasible, desirable, or appropriate depending on policy direction —particularly in a single year. The recommended fees identified herein are either at or less than full cost recovery.

2 Fire User Fee Study

User Fee Background
Background
As part of a general cost recovery strategy, local governments adopt user fees to fund programs and services that provide limited or no direct benefit to the community as a whole. As cities struggle to maintain levels of service and variability of demand, they have bec ome increasingly aware of subsidies provided by the General Fund and have implemented cost-recovery tar gets. To the extent that governments use general tax monies to provide individuals with private bene fits, and not require them to pay the full cost of the service (and, therefore, receive a subsidy), the government is limiting funds that may be available to provide other community-wide benefits. In effect, the gover nment is using community funds to pay for private benefit. Unlike most revenue sources, cities have m ore control over the level of user fees they charge to recover costs, or the subsidies they can institute.

Fees in California are required to conform to the s tatutory requirements of the California Constitutio n, Proposition 218, and the California Code of Regulations. The Code also requires that the City Council adopt fees by either ordinance or resolution, and that any fees in excess of the estimated total cost of ren dering the related services must be approved by a popular vote of two-thirds of those electors voting because the charge would be considered a tax and not a fee.

California User Fee History
Before Proposition 13, California cities were less concerned with potential subsidies and recovering the cost of their services from individual fee payers. In times of fiscal shortages, cities simply raised property taxes, which funded everything from police and recreation to development-related services. However, this situation changed with the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.

Proposition 13 established the era of revenue limitation in California local government. In subsequent years, the state saw a series of additional limitations to local government revenues. Proposition 4 (1979) defined the difference between a tax and a fee: a fee can be no greater than the cost of providing the service; and Proposition 218 (1996) further limited the impositi on of taxes for certain classes of fees. As a resul t, cities were required to secure a supermajority vote in order to enact or increase taxes. Since the public continues to resist efforts to raise local government taxes, cities have little control and very few successful options for new revenues. Compounding this limitation, the Stat e of California took a series of actions in the 199 0’s and 2000’s to improve the State’s fiscal situation—at the expense of local governments. As an example, in 2004-05, the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (“ERAF”) take-away of property taxes and the reduction of Vehicle License Fees have severely reduced local tax revenues.

In addition, on November 2, 2010, California voters approved Proposition 26, the “Stop Hidden Taxes Initiative”, which is aimed at defining “regulatory fees” as a special tax rather than a fee, thus req uiring approval by two-thirds vote of local voters. These regulatory fees are typically intended to mitigate the societal and environmental impacts of a business or person’s activities. Proposition 26 contains seve n categories of exceptions. The vast majority of fee s that cities would seek to adopt will most likely fall into one or more of these exemptions.

3 Fire User Fee Study

Additional Policy Considerations
The recent trend for municipalities is to update th eir fee schedules to reflect the actual costs of ce rtain public services primarily benefitting users. User Fees recover costs associated with the provision of specific services benefiting the user, thereby reducing the use of General Fund monies for such purposes.

In addition to collecting the direct cost of labor and materials associated with processing and administering user services, it is common for local governments t o recover support costs. Support costs are those c osts relating to a local government’s central service de partments that are properly allocable to the local government’s operating departments. Central service s support cost allocations were incorporated using the resulting indirect overhead percentages determi ned through the Cost Allocation Plan. This plan was developed prior to the User Fee study to determine the burden placed upon central services by the operating departments in order to allocate a proportionate share of central service cost.

As labor effort and costs associated with the provision of services fluctuate over time, a significant element in the development of any fee schedule is that it h as the flexibility to remain current. Therefore, i t is recommended that the City include an inflationary f actor in the resolution adopting the fee schedule t o allow the City Council, by resolution, to annually increase or decrease the fees.

The City may employ many different inflationary fac tors. The most commonly used inflator is some form of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as it is widely w ell known and accepted. A similar inflator is the implicit price deflator for GDP, which is much like the CPI except that while the CPI is based on the same “bas ket” of goods and services every year, the price deflato rs’ “basket” can change year to year. Since the pr imary factor for the cost of a City’s services is usually the costs of the personnel involved, tying an infl ationary factor that connects more directly to the personnel costs can be suitable if there is a clear method, or current practice of obtaining said factor.

Each City should use an inflator that they believe works the best for their specific situation and needs. It is also recommended that the City perform this interna l review annually with a comprehensive review of services and fees performed every three to five years, which would include adding or removing fees for any new or eliminated programs/services.

4 Fire User Fee Study

Study Objective
As the City of Colton seeks to efficiently manage l imited resources and adequately respond to increase d service demands, it needs a variety of tools. Thes e tools provide assurance that the City has the bes t information and the best resources available to mak e sound decisions, fairly and legitimately set fees , maintain compliance with state law and local polici es, and meet the needs of the City administration a nd its constituency. Given the limitations on raising revenue in local government, the City recognizes th at a User Fee Study is a very cost-effective way to unde rstand the total cost of services and identify pote ntial fee deficiencies. Essentially, a User Fee is a payment for a requested service provided by a local government that primarily benefits an individual or group.

The total cost of each service included in this ana lysis is based on the full cost of providing City s ervices, including direct salaries and benefits of City staff, direct departmental costs, and indirect costs from central service support. This study determines the full co st recovery fee for the City to provide each servic e; however, each fee is set at the City’s discretion, up to 100% of the total cost, as specified in this report.

The principle goal of the study was to help the Cit y determine the full cost of the services that the City provides. In addition, Willdan established a series of additional objectives including:
 Developing a rational basis for setting fees
 Identifying subsidy amount, if applicable, of each fee in the model  Ensuring compliance with State law
 Developing an updatable and comprehensive list of fees  Maintaining accordance with City policies and goals
The study results will help the City better underst and its true costs of providing services and may se rve as a basis for making informed policy decisions regard ing the most appropriate fees, if any, to collect f rom individuals and organizations that require individualized services from the City.

Scope of the Study
The scope of this study encompasses a review and calculation of user fees charged by the Fire Department.

The study involved the identification of existing a nd potential new fees, fee schedule restructuring, data collection and analysis, orientation and consultati on, quality control, communication and presentation s, and calculation of individual service costs (fees) or program cost recovery levels.

Aim of the Report
The User Fee Study focused on the cost of City serv ices, as City staff currently provides them at exis ting, known, or reasonably anticipated service and staff levels. This report provides a summary of the stud y results, and a general description of the approach and methods Willdan and City staff used to determin e the recommended fee schedule. The report is not int ended to document all of the numerous discussions throughout the process, nor is it intended to provide influential dissertation on the qualities of the utilized tools, techniques, or other approaches.

5 Fire User Fee Study

Project Approach and Methodology
Conceptual Approach
The basic concept of a User Fee Study is to determi ne the “reasonable cost” of each service provided by the City for which it charges a user fee. The full cost of providing a service may not necessarily become the City’s fee, but it serves as the objective basis as to the maximum amount that may be collected.

The standard fee limitation established in California law for property-related (non-discretionary) fees is the “estimated, reasonable cost” principle. In order to maintain compliance with the letter and spirit of this standard, every component of the fee study process included a related review. The use of budget figure s, time estimates, and improvement valuation clearly indicates reliance upon estimates for some data.

Fully Burdened Hourly Rates
The total cost of each service included in this analysis is primarily based on the Fully Burdened Hourly Rates (FBHRs) that were determined for City personnel directly involved in providing services. The FBHRs include not only personnel salary and benefits, but also any costs that are reasonably ascribable to personnel. The cost elements that are included in the calculation of fully burdened rates are:
 Salaries & benefits of personnel involved
 Operating costs applicable to fee operations
 Departmental support, supervision, and administration overhead  Indirect City-wide overhead costs calculated through the Cost Allocation Plan An important factor in determining the fully burden ed rate is in the calculation of productive hours f or personnel. This calculation takes the available workable hours in a year of 2,080 and adjusts this fi gure to account for calculated or anticipated hours’ employ ees are involved in non-billable activities such as paid vacation, sick leave, emergency leave, holidays, and other considerations as necessary. Dividing the full cost by the number of productive hours provides the FBHR.

The FBHRs are then used in conjunction with time es timates, when appropriate, to calculate a fees' cos t based on the personnel and the amount of their time that is involved in providing each service.

Summary Steps of the Study
The methodology to evaluate most User Fee levels is straightforward and simple in concept. The following list provides a summary of the study process steps:

Allowable Costs
This report identifies three types of costs that, w hen combined, constitute the fully burdened cost of a service (Appendix A) . Costs are defined as
direct labor, including salary and benefits,
departmental overhead costs, and the City’s
central services overhead, where
departmental and central service overhead
costs constitute support costs. These cost
types are defined as follows:
 Direct Labor (Personnel Costs): The
costs related to staff salaries for
time spent directly on fee-related
services.
 Departmental Overhead: A
proportional allocation of
departmental overhead costs,
including operation costs such as
supplies and materials that are necessary for the department to function.  Central Services Overhead: These costs, detailed in the City’s Cost Allocation Plan, represent services provided by those Central Services Departm ents whose primary function is to support other City departments.

7 Fire User Fee Study

Methodology
The method of analysis for calculating fees used in this report is the case study method (standard unit cost build-up approach). This approach estimates the actual labor and material costs associated with providing a unit of service to a single user. This analysis i s suitable when City staff time requirements do not vary dramatically for a service, or for special projects where the time and cost requirements are easy to identify at the project’s outset. Further, the method is eff ective in instances when a staff member from one department assists on an application, service or pe rmit for another department on an as-needed basis.

Costs are estimated based upon interviews with City staff regarding the time typically spent on tasks, a review of available records, and a time and materials analysis.

Quality Control/Quality Assurance
All study components are interrelated, thus flawed data at any step in the process will cause the ulti mate results to be inconsistent and unsound. The element s of our Quality Control process for User Fee calculations include:
 Involvement of knowledgeable City staff
 Clear instructions and guidance to City staff
 Reasonableness tests and validation
 Internal and external reviews
 Cross-checking
Reasons for cost increases/decreases over current f ees Within the fee tables in Appendix C , the differences identified between the full costs calculated through the study and the fee levels currently in effect. The reasons for differences between the two can arise from a number of possible factors including:
 Previous fee levels may have been set at levels les s than full cost intentionally, based on policy decisions
 Position staffing levels, seniority, and the positions that complete fee and service activity may vary from when the previous costs were calculated
 Personnel and materials costs could have increased at levels that differed from any inflationary factors used to increase fees since the last study
 Changes in processes and procedures within a department, or the City as a whole  Changes in the demand for services in a City may ha ve also changed the staffing or cost structure of departments over time
City Staff Contributions
As part of the study process, Willdan received tremendous support and cooperation from City staff, which contributed and reviewed a variety of components to the study, including:
 Budget and other cost data

Page 24 of 182 ends

8 Fire User Fee Study

 Staffing structures
 Fee and service structures, organization, and descriptions  Direct work hours (billable/non-billable)
 Time estimates to complete work tasks
 Review of draft results and other documentation
A User Fee Study requires significant involvement o f the managers and line staff from the departments— on top of their existing workloads and competing pr iorities. The contributions from City staff were cr itical to this study. We would like to express our appreci ation to the City and its staff for their assistanc e, professionalism, positive attitudes, helpful suggestions, responsiveness, and overall cooperation.

Colton User Fees
Cost Recovery
The cost recovery models, by department/division fee type, are presented in detail in Appendix C . Full cost recovery is predominantly determined by summing the estimated amount of time each position (in increments of minutes or hours) spends to render a service. Time estimates for each service rendered were predominately determined by Willdan and City Staff through a time and materials survey conducted for each department/division fee included in the study. The resulting cost recovery amount represents the total cost of providing each service. The City’s current fee being charged for each service, if applicable, is provided in this section, as well, for reference.

It is important to note that the time and materials survey used to determine the amount of time each employee spends assisting in the provision of the services listed on the fee schedule is an essential working document in identifying the total cost of providing each service. Specifically, in providing services, a number of employees are often involved in various aspects of the process, spending anywhere from a few minutes to several hours on the service.

The principle goal of this study was to identify th e cost of City services, to provide information to help the City make informed decisions regarding the actual f ee levels and charges. The responsibility to determ ine the final fee levels is a complicated task. City st aff must consider many issues in formulating recommendations, and the City Council must consider those same issues and more in making the final decisions.

City staff assumes the responsibility to develop sp ecific fee level recommendations to present to the City Council. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules to guide the City, since many of the considerations are based on the unique characteristics of the City of Colton, and administrative and political discre tion.

However, in setting the level of full cost recovery for each fee, one should consider whether the serv ice solely benefits one end user or the general community.

Subsidization
Recalling the definition of a user fee helps guide decisions regarding subsidization. The general standard is that individuals (or groups) whom receive a wholly private benefit should pay 100% of the full cost of the services. In contrast, services that are simply public benefit should be funded entirely by the general fund’s tax dollars. Unfortunately, for the decision makers , many services fall into the range between these t wo extremes.

Further complicating the decision, opponents of fee s often assert that the activities subject to the f ees provide economic, cultural, “quality of life,” or other community benefits that exceed the costs to the City.

It is recommended the City consider such factors during its deliberations regarding appropriate fee levels.

Of course, subsidization can be an effective public policy tool, since it can be used to reduce fees t o encourage certain activities (such as compliance inspections to ensure public safety) or allow some people to be able to afford to receive services they other wise could not at the full cost. In addition, subsi dies can

Page 26 of 182 ends

10 Fire User Fee Study

be an appropriate and justifiable action, such as t o allow citizens to rightfully access services, wit hout burdensome costs.

Despite the intent, it is important for the City an d public to understand that subsidies must be cover ed by another revenue source, such as the General Fund. Therefore, the general taxpayer will potentially help to fund private benefits, and/or other City services will not receive funds that are otherwise directed to cover subsidies.

Impact on Demand (Elasticity)
Economic principles of elasticity suggest that increased costs for services (higher fees) will eventually curtail the demand for the services; whereas lower fees may spark an incentive to utilize the services and encourage certain actions. Either of these conditi ons may be a desirable effect to the City. However, the level of the fees that would cause demand changes i s largely unknown. The Cost of Service Study did no t attempt to evaluate the economic or behavioral impa cts of higher or lower fees; nevertheless, the City should consider the potential impacts of these issues when deciding on fee levels.

Summary
City staff is recommending setting user fees at suggested fee amounts as detailed in Appendix C. City and departmental goals, City Council priorities, policy initiatives, past performance, implementation issues, and other internal and external factors should influenc e staff recommendations and City Council decisions. In this case, the proper identification of additional services (new or existing services) and the update to a consistent and comprehensive fee schedule were the primary objectives of this study. City staff has reviewed the full costs and identified the recommended fee levels for consideration by City Council.

The following section provide background for the Fire Department and the results of this study’s analysis of their fees. For the full list of each fee’s analysis, refer to Appendix C of this report.

11 Fire User Fee Study

Fire
The Colton Fire Department (CFD) was formed on November 21, 1889 and currently serves a population of 54,828 people in the 16-square mile city out of fou r strategically located fire stations. There are cu rrently 48 full-time firefighters, one Executive Assistant, one Office Specialist, one Fire Safety Specialist, and one contract Physician Medical Director who staff the department. In 2023 the department responded to over 8,161 calls for service dispatched through the Conf ire Joint Powers Agency Dispatch. CFD deploys thre e Type-I engines, and a Truck staffed by one Captain, one Engineer, and one Firefighter Paramedic and on e Paramedic Squad staffed with two Firefighter Parame dics; one Battalion Chief is on-duty per day, one Deputy Fire Chief and one Battalion Chief/Fire Mars hal. Colton has provided Paramedic Advanced Life Support to its citizens as one of the first paramedic providers in San Bernardino County since July 1975.

Analysis
Willdan individually reviewed the services and programs associated with the Fire Department. The review also consisted of an evaluation of existing services in an effort to update the fee schedule.

The analysis of Fire Services cost of service relied upon a standard unit cost build-up approach, whereby we determined the reasonable cost of each fee occurren ce using staff provided time data for direct staff involvement and positional fully burdened hourly rates to determine the cost of staff and the pro-rata share of departmental costs, including indirect costs for City Central Services. Willdan then compared the calculated full cost against the current fee amount to determine, if charged, whether the current fee is recovering the costs associated with the requested service. The analysis found that current fees are s et at levels that subsidize the cost of providing service s. Services are being subsidized, and staff has pr ovided suggested fee levels to increase cost recovery . Staff is recommending that fees be adjusted to ful l cost recovery as detailed in Appendix C . As a result, there would be:
 an increase to 163 fees;
 6 new fees to add personnel rates for special service cost recovery would be added;  a decrease to 1 fee for plans archiving;
 3 equipment rates would change from a fixed hourly rate to the OES Reimbursement Rate;  20 fees set at actual cost and the penalty for work without a permit would remain as is, and;  the average fee increase for Fire would be around 24%.

Appendix A – Total Allowable Cost to be Recovered
Below are the total allowable costs that may be recovered through User Fees; however, only a percentage of the total allowable cost is realized as staff not only works on services related to User Fees, but also works on an array of other City functions during the operational hours of the City. The amounts listed below will not reconcile to City budgets as costs that should not be included in overhead for personnel in the application of determining fully burdened hourly rates were excluded. Examples of these costs are capital, debt, monetary transfers, contract costs, and any o ther costs that is charged directly to the service requestor.

Item: 1.

Staff Report

Meeting Date: August 19, 2025
To: City Council
From: Bill Smith, City Manager
Prepared By: Charles Berry, Electric Utility Director
Item Name: Power Cost Adjustment Policy - Approve Resolution Updating the City's Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) Policy, RESOLUTION R-68-25.

Recommended Action:

Adopt Resolution R-68-25 updating the City's Power Cost Adjustment Policy

Background:

Publicly owned electric utilities (POUs) in California, including municipal utilities, public utility districts, and irrigation districts are not subject to oversight by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Instead, they are governed locally by city councils or utility boards, which are responsible for setting electric rates, fiscal policies, and operational priorities tailored to community needs.

One of the most common and important tools POUs use to maintain financial health and ensure equitable cost distribution and recovery is the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA), also referred to interchangeably as the Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA). These two terms are synonymous and describe a variable rate mechanism used to reconcile the unplanned realized costs and forecasted costs beyond the absorption capacity of adopted base rate structures.

Power supply costs are inherently volatile and subject to a wide range of external factors, including but not limited to:
• Wholesale electricity market price fluctuations.
• Natural gas or fuel price volatility.
• Reduced hydroelectric generation due to drought or climate variability. • Regional transmission congestion or constraints.
• Emergency or short-notice energy purchases to meet peak demand or cover outages. • Regulatory or environmental policy shifts that alter procurement strategies.

Even with responsible forecasting and cost-of-service studies, such events can lead to unplanned and unbudgeted expenses. The rate component of the PCA mechanism allows publicly owned

Page 45 of 182 ends

utilities to recover those expenses and financially stabilize the utility in response to extraordinary circumstances through a rate mechanism that is a proportional financial response to market conditions.

This practice is recognized as an industry best practice and is not intended to build or accumulate discretionary financial reserves. Rather, it is an adopted component of the rate structure and a policy mechanism that enables the recovery of costs necessary to maintain compliance with established financial reserve policies adopted by the Colton City Council.

As part of its proactive fiscal management approach, the Colton City Council adopted a Rate Study Policy at its regular meeting on May 6, 2025. This policy formalizes a structured process for evaluating electric rates and financial conditions. Under this policy, certain magnitudes of realized and forecasted power supply costs that are long-term in duration may trigger a Cost of Service Analysis (COSA). This ensures that rate structures remain aligned with actual utility costs, revenue requirements and financial policies in the face of sustained market shifts. Additionally, this rate structure relies upon an embedded a PCA element that when needed, can be utilized.

All POUs surveyed by staff that use a PCA do so under formally adopted electric rate schedules, approved by their respective governing bodies and delegate the use of this element of adopted rates to staff. These delegated authorities include specific provisions that:
• Direct staff to monitor deviations between actual and forecasted power supply costs. • Define pre-approved formulas or methodologies for calculating the PCA. • Delegate authority to staff to implement the use and changes to the PCA without requiring individual council or board approval for each update.

This approach ensures that the utility can respond quickly to market conditions while staying within the guardrails of the Council adopted fiscal policy(ies). It also improves administrative efficiency, maintains rate stability, and avoids delayed cost recovery that could otherwise disrupt utility cash flow, while also jeopardizing important general fund transfer obligations.

Credit rating agencies, including Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P, view the use of a PCA favorably when evaluating the financial stability and credit worthiness of publicly owned utilities. These mechanisms demonstrate strong fiscal governance and proactive risk management. They help protect utilities from revenue shortfalls during periods of high market volatility and support the maintenance of key financial metrics such as:
• Debt service coverage ratios.
• Bond covenance obligations.
• Liquidity and working capital reserves.
• Timely cost recovery and financial forecasting accuracy.

As a result, a well-managed PCA contributes to steady or stronger credit ratings and more favorable borrowing terms, ultimately benefiting ratepayers by reducing long-term capital financing costs and responding to near-term market volatility.

In contrast to POUs, California’s investor-owned utilities (IOUs), including PG&E, Southern California Edison (SCE), and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), operate under California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) oversight and have broader regulatory tools to recover power supply and extraordinary costs.

Page 46 of 182 ends

• IOUs recover energy procurement costs through Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) proceedings. These proceedings authorize utilities to pass through actual power costs, dollar-for-dollar, with true-ups for any over or under collections. • In the case of extraordinary events, such as wildfires, severe weather, or emergencies, IOUs may seek CPUC approval to establish memorandum accounts or obtain financing orders.

These tools allow IOUs to retroactively recover extraordinary costs, including through the issuance of recovery bonds or multi-year surcharges.
• CPUC authorized retroactive recovery mechanisms have been used in cases involving wildfire liabilities, emergency procurement, revenue shortfalls and pandemic related expenses.

This regulatory framework gives IOUs access to cost recovery options that go far beyond the limited scope of PCA mechanisms available to POUs, but also adds complexity, delay, and regulatory risk, in addition to a substantial exposure, risk burden and unpredictability to rate payers.

Several Southern California publicly owned utilities incorporate a PCA into their adopted electric rate structures, including but not limited to:
• Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) – Uses an Energy Cost Adjustment Factor (ECAF). • Pasadena Water & Power (PWP) – Applies a PCA to recover procurement deviations. • Anaheim Public Utilities – Employs an Energy Cost Adjustment Rate (ECAR) for cost recovery.
• Burbank Water and Power (BWP) – Uses a PCA to address fuel and market variability. • Azusa Light & Water – Implements a PCA for supply cost fluctuations. • Imperial Irrigation District (IID) – Includes a PCA as part of its standard rate recovery model.

The commonality across all utilities that use a PCA mechanism is full cost recovery. These utilities have adopted PCA (or equivalent) mechanisms as standard best practices, with implementation delegated to staff under clearly defined policy frameworks. The result is an adaptable, transparent, and fiscally responsible approach to managing operational cost volatility.

Issues/Analysis:

The City of Colton first established a mechanism for recovering power supply cost variability through Resolution No. 3426, which implemented a fuel cost adjustment tied to wholesale energy and fuel market changes. This legacy framework allowed the Electric Utility to respond to then current energy price volatility but was limited in scope and not well-suited to longer-term modern operational complexities.

Recognizing the need for a more comprehensive and adaptable mechanism, the City Council subsequently adopted Resolution No. 4502 on August 21, 1984, following recommendations from R.W. Beck & Associates. That resolution formally replaced the fuel cost adjustment with a broader Power Cost Adjustment (PCA). The PCA was designed to reconcile variances between estimated and actual power supply costs, including, but not limited to:
• Fuel cost.
• Purchased power costs.
• Transmission charges.

Page 47 of 182 ends

• Congestion-related costs.

This adjustment mechanism provided the City with greater flexibility to address fluctuations in power market conditions without requiring frequent changes to base rates, yet it is insufficient in a modern and complex energy market.

Codifying this structure, the Colton Electric Utility’s Rules and Regulations as adopted by the Colton City Council include a “Schedule Power Cost Adjustment,” which further defines the purpose and scope of the PCA. It states:

The Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) is a charge per kWh which is used (1) to adjust the Electric Department's electric rates for the actual cost of purchasing and generating electric power and energy to service the City's Customers, and (2) to minimize the fluctuations in rates. As of July 1, 2014, the PCA is set to zero ($0.00) but can be changed by the Colton Electric Director as necessary to reflect changes in actual power supply costs. The PCA may reflect changes in power and energy costs including the following:
• Changes in any component of the wholesale costs.
• Changes in transmission and wheeling payments.
• Changes in scheduling and dispatching payments.
• Changes in capacity costs.
• Changes in contract incremental costs.
• Changes in non-firm energy purchases.
• Changes in take-or-pay power supply cost obligations.

While the proposed framework remains consistent with the intent of Resolution 4502, it better reflects evolving operational realities, rate administration practices and includes mechanisms to enhance public transparency. The proposed 2025 Power Cost Adjustment Policy for consideration via Resolution R-68-25, modernizes this approach by formalizing key elements where Resolution 4502 is silent. They include:
• The PCA may be calculated using both backward and forward-looking methodologies based on actual or projected power supply cost variances against the base power cost. • It may be adjusted periodically by the Electric Utility Director as necessary to meet adopted financial targets, in accordance with City Council policies. • It is applied proportionally across all customer classes, itemized on bills for transparency, and reviewed no less than semi – annually.
• The PCA may reflect emergency expenditures, unplanned cost increases, or financial stabilization needs.
• The City Council will receive a formal report prior to PCA implementation (or as soon as practicable in emergencies) detailing financial justification, ratepayer impacts, reserve implications, and anticipated duration.
• Reconciliations of over or under recoveries are conducted periodically and integrated into future adjustments.

Page 48 of 182 ends

• Requires regular reporting requirements to the City Council.

In response to the need for a modern policy and with input from the public, and the Utilities Commission, the Colton City Council adopted a formal Rate Study Policy on May 6, 2025. This policy outlines a structured and transparent process for evaluating electric rate adequacy, financial performance, and system investment needs. As a tenet of this policy, certain magnitudes of realized or forecasted costs that are long-term in duration may trigger a Cost of Service Analysis (COSA), ensuring that sustained or structural changes are evaluated holistically, rather than absorbed indefinitely through the PCA alone.

This proposal is brought forward in direct response to public, Commission input and City Council direction to develop and present a modernized PCA policy that integrates best practices while preserving the foundational intent of the original 1984 policy, increasing transparency and reporting requirements while reflecting current industry trends. Staff’s recommendation honors that historical framework while aligning with current standards for equitable cost recovery, enhancing fiscal transparency, and improving utility financial resilience.

Maintaining and modernizing this dual-framework approach allows the Electric Utility to:
• Meet Council adopted financial reserve policy targets. • Preserve customer rate stability and enhance transparency. • Enhance credit rating agency confidence.
• Align short-term PCA adjustments with long-term base rate review triggers. • Uphold legal and regulatory compliance in rate-setting.

Staff recommends adoption of Resolution R-68-25, which would repeal and replace in its entirety, Resolution 4502. This action ensures alignment with the 2025 Rate Study Policy, the 2025 adopted Financial Policy(ies), modern utility cost recovery practices, and City of Colton’s long-term financial and operational sustainability.

Fiscal Impacts:

There are no fiscal impacts related to adoption of this policy and Resolution R-68-25.

Alternatives:

Provide alternative direction to staff.

Power Cost Adjustment Policy

1. Purpose The purpose of this Power Cost Adjustment Policy (Policy) is to establish a framework for the use of a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) as a component of electric rates.

The PCA intends to provide a mechanism for adjusting customer bills to reflect fluctuations in current and future power supply costs, unplanned and/or emergency expenditures, or as needed to stabilize the financial position of the City of Colton’s (City) Electric Department.

2. Scope This Policy is maintained by the Electric Department and applies to all electric customers served by the City and governs the methodology used to calculate and apply the PCA as part of the overall electric rate structure while stipulating mandatory reporting requirements.

3. Definitions
• Base Power Cost: The power supply cost included in the standard electric rate, determined during the most recent rate-setting process. • Actual Power Cost: The actual cost of purchasing or generating electricity, including fuel, purchased power, transmission, distribution and other related expenses. • Future Power Cost Projections: Estimated power supply costs based on market trends, fuel price forecasts, and regulatory changes.
• Power Cost Adjustment (PCA): A charge applied to customer bills to account for differences between the Base Power Cost and the Actual Power Cost and/or Future Power Cost Projections.

4. PCA Calculation
The PCA shall be calculated or recalculated periodically using the following formulas and does not apply retroactively to any customer or customer class for the purpose of cost recovery with the exception of Electric Rules & Regulations or other applicable policies, which may be amended from time to time, governing billing errors, disputes or cases of theft. The calculation to be implemented as a surcharge shall consider actual costs (backward-looking PCA calculation) and future costs (forward-looking PCA calculation) to determine the value of the PCA to be implemented and/or adjusted from time to time to reflect over or under collection
Backward-Looking PCA Calculation: PCA ($/kWh) = (Actual Power Cost - Base Power Cost) / total kWh sales.

Page 53 of 182 ends

23152.04000\44020200.1

Forward-Looking PCA Calculation: PCA ($/kWh) = (Projected Power Cost - Base Power Cost) / total estimated kWh sales.

Where:
• The Actual Power Cost is based on verified expenses incurred by the utility during the applicable period.
• The Future Power Cost Projections consider expected changes in fuel prices, market conditions, and regulatory impacts.
• The Base Power Cost is set in the utility’s approved rate schedule. • Total kWh Sales represent the total energy sales for all customers during the applicable period.

Example Calculations:

Backward-Looking Example: This example assumes the following values for a prior month:
• Base Power Cost: $0.08 per kWh
• Actual Power Cost: $0.09 per kWh
• Total kWh sales: 10,000,000 kWh
PCA = ($0.09 - $0.08) / 10,000,000 kWh PCA = $0.01 per kWh If a residential customer used 1,000 kWh in that month, the PCA charge would be: 1,000 kWh × $0.01 = $10.00 additional charge on their bill.

Forward-Looking Example: This example assumes the following projected values for an upcoming month:
• Base Power Cost: $0.08 per kWh
• Projected Power Cost: $0.10 per kWh
• Total estimated kWh Sales: 10,000,000 kWh
PCA = ($0.10 - $0.08) / 10,000,000 kWh PCA = $0.02 per kWh If a residential customer is expected to use 1,000 kWh in that month, the PCA charge would be: 1,000 kWh × $0.02 = $20.00 additional charge on their bill.

5. Application of the PCA
• The PCA shall be applied to all customer classes based on energy consumption.

Page 54 of 182 ends

23152.04000\44020200.1

• The PCA shall be a surcharge based upon actual (backward looking) and projected (forward looking) power costs that exceed the programmed budget expenditure(s). • The PCA will be itemized separately on customer bills for transparency.

6. Review, Adjustment Authority, and Frequency
• The Electric Utility Director shall have the authority to implement and adjust the PCA as necessary to recover the cost of providing power and stabilize the finances of the electric utility.
• The PCA shall be reviewed and updated by Electric Director or designee on a regular interval, of not less than a semiannual basis.
• A reconciliation process will be conducted periodically (but not to exceed semi- annually) by the Electric Director or designee, to ensure that over - or under - recoveries are appropriately accounted for in subsequent PCA calculations. • Adjustments to the PCA must be documented and made available to customers upon request.

7. Legal and Regulatory Compliance; Oversight
• The PCA shall comply with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and be subject to review by the City Council.
• The Electric Utility shall provide public notification via its outreach channels (to include but not necessarily limited to website(s), bill inserts, and digital media outlets) of implementation, any significant changes to the PCA, changes in methodology or application.
o A significant change to the Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) shall mean a projected change in the PCA value exceeding ±5% based on the then current PCA rate established by the Electric Director.
• The Electric Director will provide a report to the City Council in advance of implementation of the PCA, or as soon as practicable thereafter if emergency conditions do not warrant an agendized item at a regular meeting. The report will include:
o Clear identification of the financial need for the PCA, o Impacts on reserve levels,
o Projected bill impacts, and

Page 55 of 182 ends

23152.04000\44020200.1

o Anticipated duration of the PCA.
• Reports will be provided to the City Council on at least a semi-annual basis upon implementation of the PCA while the PCA is in effect. Reports will include:
o Projected bill impacts,
o Anticipated duration of the PCA,
o Results of any reconciliation(s), and
o Adjustments to the PCA resulting from a change in conditions.

8. Customer Communication
• The Finance Department shall provide clear explanations of PCA charges on customer bills via readily identifiable line-item surcharge. • Educational materials regarding the PCA and its impact on electric rates shall be provided by the Electric Department and made available to customers.

9. Effective Date and Amendments This Policy shall take effect upon approval by the City Council. Amendments to this Policy may be made as needed to reflect changes in regulatory requirements, market conditions, or operational needs.

safety hazards; In that the proposed project has been adequately designed with one car parking garages for each dwelling with additional covered and uncovered spaces that are within easy access for all of the units. In addition to the on -site parking for the project, there is a reasonable number of on-street parallel parking spaces located adjacent to the site on 2 nd Street. The driveways provide safe circulation areas for both pedestrians and vehicles.

b. The bulk, location and height proposed will not be detrimental or injurious to other development in the neighborhood or will result in the loss of or damage to unique natural or topographic features of the site that are important to the environmental quality of life for the citizens of Colton, and the development is feasible in a manner that will avoid such detrimental or injurious results or such loss or damage; in that the topography of the site is flat with no unique natural or topographic features. The proposed two-story residential condominium project is required to provide final water, hydrology, soils, structural, and other construction documents that will ensure the project will not be detrimental or injurious to the surrounding neighborhood as grading, hydrology and adequate infrastructure is available so as not to cause loss or damage to future residents and existing residents of the area.

c The provisions for exterior lighting are adequate for human safety and will not diminish the value and/or usability of adjacent property; in that, the proposed lighting will be located with security in mind and as enhancement to the residential project’s visibility and safety. All lighting is required to comply with the City’s lighting requirements by providing one-foot candle lighting and be shielded so that all glare does not spill onto adjacent property and right-of-way, eliminating any lighting nuisance that may diminish the value and/or usability of adjacent property.

d. The exterior design of the buildings and structures will not be injurious or detrimental to the environmental or historic features of the immediate neighborhood in which the proposed development is located and will not cause irreparable damage to property in the neighborhood, to the City and to its citizens; The project has been conditioned to comply with all local, state and federal code requirements. The project will incorporate noise reduction construction measures to ensure noise standards are met. The project site is designed to be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood. There are no designated historical buildings within the surrounding vicinity of the proposed project.

e. The proposed development will not impose an undue burden upon off-site public services, including sewer, water and streets, which conclusion shall be based upon a written report of the City Engineer; and there is no provision in the capital works program of the City to correct the specific burden within a reasonable period after the Development will be completed; the development of the residential condominium units and open space areas/recreational area are within an urban neighborhood where all improvements, including electrical, sewer, and water will be provided to adequately serve the project.

The project materials and construction will be required to comply with all current California Codes including energy efficient standards and green code requirements. b. The proposed subdivision and the provisions for its design and improvement are consistent with the general plan for the City of Colton (“General Plan”), because the proposed condominium subdivision provides diverse housing types, amenities and architectural enhancements consistent with the Residential Overlay Zone objectives and density parameters set by the City’s Land Use and Housing Elements. c. The Subject Site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed in the Tentative Tract Map No. 20 767 because the site is located where existing utilities/sewer lines, and road improvements are available to address ingress and egress requirements for vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. The proposed development will provide all the necessary on-site and off-site improvements that meet or exceed the development standards set forth in Colton’s Zoning Code standards for Residential Subdivisions.
d. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Tract Map No. 20 767 are not likely to cause serious public health problems because all development and public improvements will be performed per the requirements of all applicable standards and codes, including the zoning and building codes. e. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed in the Tentative Tract Map No. 20767 will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of the Subject Site . The proposed subdivision map and title report have been reviewed and there are no conflicts with easements or future dedications for developing the proposed project site.
f. The discharge of waste into an existing sewer system from development proposed in the Tentative Tract Map No. 20767 will not cause a violation of existing requirements prescribed by the local water quality control board because the City’s Engineering and Water Utilities Divisions of Public Works have reviewed and conditionally approved the proposal to address waste & wastewater requirements, drainage, grading, storm water, NPDS construction activity, Improvement Plans and Final Map submission requirements in making sure the discharge of waste is designed correctly so it does not impact existing water sources.

SECTION 3. The Planning Commission of the City of Colton, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, has found that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and is Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Article 19, Section 15332,

▪ Policy H -4.3 Encourage compatible residential development in areas where land use policies support higher densities, the project site is located in an area where single family homes are located. However, the mix of residential lot project types remains compatible and provides a more diverse option of residential housing for the neighborhood. The density is supported an d compatible with the scale and size of surrounding residential and commercial development projects in the neighborhood. The architecture compliments the current homes in the neighborhood and the two story building heights are compatible with the existing homes in the area.
o The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species, in that the project is not located in an area with protected habitat or other endangered, rare or threatened species.
o Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services, in that the proposed 16 unit condominium project is screened out of Vehicle Miles Traveled analysis because it will generate less than the City’s threshold of 110 daily trips. No further analysis is needed. Also, noise construction measures will be incorporated to ensure noise standards are met.

SECTION 5. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 24th day of June 2025.
