Subject: Tonight’s study session

I am not able to attend the study session tonight. I was at the last one/zoom/ and had hoped to make it.

I am in opposition to this ever happening. I surely hope this isn’t a last meeting prior to approval! So very bad for the location.

My family owns 1549 and 1561 across the street.

I stand by my comments last time about traffic on that part-slight turn-directly in front of proposed development. It is extremely hard to get out of the driveway that is there now.

This has been tried before as I mentioned…before you were working for the city.

Let’s improve the neighborhood as we have done on the 2 properties across from this project, not bring in more apartments, more cars, and more traffic on already busy Farm Bureau Road.

In addition, I can be in the living room at 1561 FB, and hear the trucks and a great deal of traffic day and night.

I heard much opposition to this last time.

Let me know what we can do.

You can actually read this as an opinion tonight.

Regards,
Vikki Chavez/trustee of
1549, 1561 Farm Bureau Road/Gazano family

Report in Brief
Policy & Procedure No. 170 requires that certain fees and charges for City services be adjusted based on changes in labor costs. Staff received wage adjustments in FY 2021-

22. In addition to the fees that are adjusted based on changes in labor costs, staff is recommending fee adjustments in Finance, Parks & Recreation, Community Development, Sewer Service, Police, and Sanitation and Refuse to more fully recover costs based on recent analysis and market surveys. Staff also seeks direction from Council on adopting one of five scenarios for a 5-year phase-in of base rate increases for Sanitation and Refuse fees which will go into effect on July 1, 2022. These fee changes are discussed in detail in the body of this report.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.a

Recommended Action

1. Provide direction on adopting a base rate for Sanitation and Refuse Fees (Section VI).

2. Adopt a Resolution amending Exhibit A to Resolution No. 78-6042 establishing fees and charges for various municipal services in the City of Concord (Attachment 1).

The Resolution is written such that the fees and changes become effective July 1, 2022 as indicated on Attachment 1 with two exceptions: (1) Special Events fees which become effective September 1 of each year, and (2) certain fees in Parks & Recreation which become effective January 1 or June 1 of each year, as indicated in Exhibit A to Attachment 1, Pages 6-8, Schedule C.

Background
User fees and charges are collected to recover some or all costs incurred to provide a specific service from which one or more individuals obtain a benefit. Each year, the Concord City Council considers adjustments to fees through the adoption of a fees and charges resolution.

In support of the Council’s priority focus area on long-term financial stability, Council adopted Policy & Procedure 170, which sets cost recovery goals and established policy guidelines for setting and updating user fees and charges. Staff hourly rates are determined each year by using the current average cost for each position which may include up to a 3% cost of living increase due to new collective bargaining agreements reached in FY 2021-22. Therefore, fees that reflect hourly staff costs are proposed to be increased in this fee schedule, as required by P&P 170, to avoid requiring the General Fund to subsidize projects that benefit the individual.

The Policy also states that a comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be conducted at least every five years, the last comprehensive analysis was done in FY 2014-15, the next will be scheduled sometime in the next few years. In the interim, in order to avoid abrupt and significant increases of future fees, fees will be adjusted by annual changes in labor costs as approved by the City Council with the exception of Special Events Fees, which shall be adjusted by 3% per annum.1 Per policy, the annual adjustments are intended to allow the fees and charges to keep pace with costs of service delivery and to avoid large increases to fees in any given year.

Analysis
In accordance with Policy & Procedure No. 170, staff proposes establishing fee adjustments for FY 2022-23 to reflect the wage adjustments received by certain staff.

As part of the fee review process, staff analyzed the costs to provide the various 1 Policy & Procedure 170 was amended to adjust Special Events staff fees by 3% per year to ensure regular modest adjustments to the fees each year, creating predictability and avoiding cost spikes for special event applicants.

services in the Master Fee Schedule and are recommending adjustments consistent with the costs of providing the services. The Master Fee Schedule is reviewed and adjusted annually by the Council, to keep pace with costs and avoid major spikes in costs for services.

Other Fee Adjustments. In addition to fees that are proposed to increase based on changes in labor costs described above, below is a list of the most significant other proposed adjustments to the Master Fees and Charges schedule. The proposed fee changes conform to the City’s Policy and Procedure 170: User Fees and Charges Recovery. A detailed listing of the current fees and proposed changes are listed in the Attachment to Resolution 22-6042.1 Establishing Fees and Charges for Various Municipal Services in the City of Concord (Attachment 1).

I. Finance
Staff recommends increasing the Business, Professions, and Trades Fees to more accurately capture staff time spent on processing these licenses and permits.

Business, Professions, and Trades Fees (Page 5, Schedule B, various line items)
II. Parks and Recreation
Due to continued annual increases in minimum wage and additional increases in other costs of doing business, the Parks and Recreation Department is requesting fee changes to a few programs and services.

A. Preschool Programs
As part of the annual program evaluation process, fee studies were completed at the beginning of 2022, comparing fees of similar programs in the area. The proposed fees keep Concord’s Preschool program competitively priced in the marketplace while remaining an affordable option for Concord residents and other customers.

B. Camp Concord
Camp Concord utilizes the Active Network (SaaS) Recreation Management software system, which was approved by Council in 2017, to process and manage all Camp Concord reservations. The cost to the city for this technology can be as high as 4.25% of the group rental fees. One of the proposed changes includes significantly broadening the range for the Technology Fee charged to organizational user groups, enabling the city to more appropriately offset the direct costs incurred.

The proposed rental fees support continuing the new group rental operation model approved during the FY 2019-2020 budget process and are designed to enable the 29-acre resident camp facility, located in South Lake Tahoe, to

achieve the highest possible cost recovery goals while still making the camp affordable to non-profit and family groups.

C. Diablo Creek Golf Course – Enterprise Fund
The Parks & Recreation Department and Diablo Creek Golf Course’s contractual partner for golf course operations have prioritized maintaining and increasing customers as a top goal in an evolving golf market. Participation levels rose dramatically during the pandemic and the golf industry as a whole anticipates strong demand will continue across all sectors but particularly with youth. Diablo Creek has positioned itself as a high quality, consistent, full service municipal golf experience with an excellent location that has weathered the impacts of recession and benefited from other golf course closures. A green fee study of municipal golf courses located in neighboring communities was conducted last month and the analysis resulted in an opportunity to strategically propose moderate increases to selected green fee categories. The recommended rate increases will still position Diablo Creek Golf Course as a value oriented experience when compared to the closest community golf course options while assisting the recreation asset to remain financially sustainable as a stand-alone enterprise.

o Various Fee Increases Based on Hourly Rates
Multiple fees are directly based on employee hourly rates. These fees are updated to match new employee hourly rates per Table T1. Where multiple positions charge the same fee, an average of the position hourly rates is used.
o Preliminary Applications
Adding a new fee titled “SB 9 Eligibility Determination.” This fee would be a $3,000 deposit to pay for staff time to review applications to determine if projects are eligible for up to two additional units and/or a lot split under the provisions of Senate Bill 9.

The Director of Public Works has recommended that the City Council approve collection of established Annual Sewer Service Charges at a rate which is currently set by Resolution No. 20-6042.3 and adopted by the City Council of the City of Concord on June 2, 2020.

Due to increases in operating costs for taxicab companies and tow operators, staff recommends increases to the following fees to aid in cost recovery.

A. Taxicab Rates
The City of Concord taxicabs are regulated pursuant to Municipal Code

5.95.300(d). Although not a fee collected by the city, the Master Fee Schedule

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.a
May 3, 2022
sets the maximum rate taxicab companies may charge. The last adjustment of those fees occurred in 2014. There are five companies permitted to provide taxicab service in the City. There has been an expressed request to raise rates as a response to increased operating costs. These five companies were surveyed for input on rate increases. The proposed fee adjustments are an average of their responses. These proposed fees were found to be comparable to other regulated taxicab rates in the region.

B. Franchise Tow Fees
Tow operators who provide City-related towing services are part of the City of Concord Towing Services Franchise Program. Tow operators enter into a Franchise Tow Agreement with the City where Tow Operators are placed on the City’s Rotation List in exchange for payment of a Franchise Fee and adherence to the conditions and regulations imposed in that agreement. Increasing the Franchise Fee is recommended to cover the associated staff cost of operation and management of this program.

Waste disposal includes garbage, recyclables, organic materials, construction and demolition debris, and drop box services. Rates for these services must be adjusted in response to Senate Bill (SB) 1383, which went into effect on January 1, 2022. SB 1383 can be summed up as a requirement to divert food waste from being landfilled. In order for MDRR to divert food waste in compliance with SB 1383, it must complete operational changes and capital improvements including where solid waste is hauled, expansion and modification of existing facilities, new programs such as food waste recovery, education, and enforcement.

As discussed in further detail below, City staff negotiated the needed contract and rate modifications with MDRR while updating and seeking direction from the Infrastructure & Franchise Committee. Public meetings were held for this purpose on March 25, 2021, June 28, 2021, November 8, 2021, February 9, 2022 and March 23, 2022. The Infrastructure & Franchise Committee was unanimous on the need to increase rates in order to comply with the law; however, Committee members were not unanimous on the preferred approach for increasing rates. Council is being asked to choose one of five scenarios for increasing rates over the next five years, two of which are preferred by the Committee (additional details are below). These rates are reviewed and adjusted through a formal Base Year Rate Application that is submitted by MDRR.

Agenda Item No. 6.a
May 3, 2022
R3, the City’s solid waste consultant, has completed its review of Mount Diablo Resource Recovery 2022 Base Year Rate Application. As a result of the review, R3 is recommending adjustments to MDRR’s Rate Application, from a one-time rate increase of 27.11% to a one-time increase of 21.55%. R3 has reviewed all adjustments with MDRR, and MDRR concurs with R3’s findings and is accepting of the resultant 21.55% one-time rate adjustment calculation. This 21.55% adjustment translates to a range of $7.57 – $12.56 increase to the monthly rate, depending on container size. Details regarding R3’s review methodology and specifics regarding the recommended adjustments are included in Attachment 3.

To summarize, R3’s recommended adjustments to the Rate Application include:
 $9,100 reduction to incorporate overhead costs based on the allowances described in the City’s Rate Manual.
 $60,300 increase in allowed costs to reimburse City for an additional half- time recycling coordinator/diversion specialist/city compliance officer for SB 1383 compliance and enforcement, debris box enforcement, and recycling theft prevention.
 $762,000 decrease in 2022 tipping fee costs. Further increases to tipping fees will occur in 2023 and 2024 via the annual indexed rate adjustment process (called the “Refuse Rate Index” or “RRI”) and are due to City of Pittsburg approved increases in tipping fees for SB 1383 and other factors.
 $398,600 reduction to MDRR’s profit calculation in accordance with the City’s Rate Setting Manual and the adjustments identified above.  $330,500 increase in allowed costs for additional debris boxes for City clean-up events, as requested by the City.
 $121,000 reduction in calculated City franchise fees resulting from the adjustments above.

Overall, the above represent a decrease of $900,000 in annual revenues needed to cover the cost of solid waste services as compared to those included in MDRR’s rate application, yielding a 21.55% one-time rate adjustment. That adjustment is generally comprised of the following categories:

Negotiated adjustments for increase services:
 0.49% increase for an additional half-time enforcement officer, relating to implementation of SB 1383 requirements and enforcement of exclusive debris box rights
 2.08% increase for additional debris boxes for City clean-up events, up to the maximum allowed under the agreement.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.a
May 3, 2022
Standard cost increases since 2019 (no adjustments made in 2020 and 2021):
 1.47% increase due to incorporating the additional costs of recycling into the base rate, replacing and reducing the prior temporary Residential Recycling surcharge
 4.65% increase due to changing operating expenses, such as labor, trucking, and CPI on current tipping fees. It should be noted that no annual RRI rate adjustment was made in 2020 or 2021 to shield ratepayers from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, so this incorporates increases spanning from 2019 to 2022.

Increases for unfunded state mandates:
 5.58% increase due to long-term planned fleet update for compliance with California Air Resource Board (CARB) regulations.
 7.28% increase due to implementing SB 1383, including: higher tipping fees to funding increase composting processing costs with introduction of food waste as well as needed capital improvements at the transfer station; additional organics collection routes; new color-compliant carts, lids and labels; new residential and multi-family food scrap pails; new outreach and education activities; and SB 1383 compliance services such as contamination audits and others included in the Amendment to the Franchise Agreement.

Note that the each of the above include any associated MDRR profits and City franchise fees. Overall, R3 found MDRR’s rate application to be complete and reasonable given the context of the changes in the solid waste marketplace that are driven by outside factors. These outside factors include new State regulations (SB 1383 and CARB), changes in the recycling marketplace (which previously prompted MDRR’s special extraordinary request for rate adjustment via the Recycling Surcharge), changes in City services, and normally expected changes in operating costs.

Though the adjusted one-time rate increase for 2022 would be 21.55% as calculated by R3, MDRR is agreeable to spreading the rate adjustment out over a five-year period. Staff, R3 and MDRR prepared four scenarios for a five-year rate adjustment. The Infrastructure & Franchise Committee reviewed the four scenarios, and recommended that the Council consider either Scenario 2, which provides for the lowest overall increase in 2022, or Scenario 4, which evens out the increase over the five-year period.

The scenarios for City Council consideration are below; the corresponding customer bill amounts for each scenario is provided in Attachment 4.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 6.a
May 3, 2022
 One-Time Increase – 21% increase in 2022 followed by four years of RRI ranging from 3.50 to 5.15%.
 Scenario 1 – 14% increase in 2022 followed by four years of RRI plus

3.22%.
 Scenario 2 – 3% increase in 2022 followed by four years of RRI plus

8.34%.
 Scenario 3 – 6.6% increase in 2022 followed by four years of RRI plus

6.6%.
 Scenario 4 – 9.76% increase in 2022 followed by RRI plus 4.61% in 2023 and 2024 and RRI plus 6.26% in 2025 and 2026 (with the intention of having the resulting rate adjustment in all five years be at or around

9.76%).

Each of these scenarios was developed to achieve the same overall amount of revenue to MDRR, amounting to $105.9 million from 2022 through 2026.

Additionally, the scenarios assume a base RRI of 3.5%, which is consistent with historical indexed rate adjustments. However, future RRI adjustments starting in 2023 will be impacted in two ways. First, the RRI in 2023 and 2024 will include the effects of known City of Pittsburg approved increases in tipping fees at the transfer station, which are estimated at an additional 1.65% each year. Second, it is likely that inflation will result in higher RRI increases, though the precise effects of inflation cannot be known at this time, and thus are not included in this analysis.

The City’s Rate Setting Manual caps annual RRI adjustments at 7%. With the combined effects of inflation and the known tipping fee adjustments in 2023 and 2024, it is possible that future RRI calculations will exceed 7%. If that becomes the case, it is anticipated that MDRR may request a special extraordinary adjustment to the rates, as it did previously for the now sunsetting Residential Recycling Surcharge.

To assist the Council in considering the four scenarios for spreading the rate increase out over five years, R3 prepared a comparison of the City’s current residential rates to the rates in surrounding communities. This comparison is shown in Table 1, below, and includes the City’s projected 2022 rates via a one- time 21.55% rate increase as well as the year 1 rate increases for each of the four phased-in rate increase scenarios. It should be noted that the City’s current residential rates are well below the average, ranging from $5.49 (14%) below the average for the 32-gallon monthly rate, $21.04 (31%) below for the 64-gallon rate, and $41.49 (42%) below the average for the 96-gallon monthly rate.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and implementing State CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations (collectively, “CEQA”), the updates to the City’s Master Fees and Charges Schedule do not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065, 14 Cal Code Reg. Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), or 15378 because the fiscal activities do not involve a commitment to a specific project, it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In addition, the proposed amendments are categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), “Review for Exemptions” of the CEQA Guidelines because there is no possibility that the updates to the City’s Master Fees and Charges Schedule may have a significant effect on the environment, and no unusual circumstances are present. Accordingly, further environmental review is required.

Financial Impact
Policy & Procedure No. 170 requires the annual updating of the City’s fees and charges.

The recommended fee updates listed in Attachment 1 could recover an additional $146,000 in FY 2022-23, which is offset by the costs of providing these fee services.

Public Contact
Notice of this hearing was published in the East Bay Times, as required by State Law and the Concord Municipal Code. The City Council Agenda was posted. Interested parties who have expressed an interest in this topic were notified as well as current contractors doing business with the City, the California Building Industry Association and NARI (National Association of the Remodeling Industry) of Diablo Valley, and the Concord Chamber of Commerce.

General:

Referenced in Schedule:
[C] Withdrawal application and refund of fee:
[D] Fixed fees include a maximum of two completeness reviews and two public meetings. Additional completeness reviews will be charged, based upon the adopted hourly rate. [E] Fee exempt from Technology Fee.
[F] City subsidized fee.

For services rendered by City staff which have no fee listed in this section of the fee schedule, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall determine the appropriate fee based on the established hourly rates for
the applicable City staff as provided in Table 1. Additionally, the City will pass-through to the applicant any discrete costs incurred from the use of external service providers required to process the specific application, including an administrative fee of 20% to cover the associated Citywide overhead costs.

Overpayment Information Any permit overpayment made by check of $15 or more will be processed for refund by check. Such refunds may take up to three weeks. Any permit overpayment made by check less than $15 will be forfeited by the applicant, as the cost to the City of processing such refunds exceeds the refund amount. Overpayments made by credit card follow the same guidelines unless the charge can be voided and correctly processed. [A] Security Deposits (also called Refundable Security Deposits) are required in an amount equal to the expected cost of restoring City property, public infrastructure or right-of-way to its original condition. Security deposits are refundable when the deposit condition has been satisfied, but may at that time be applied by the City to any unpaid fees, hourly charges, or other costs associated with the project, after construction or other pledged purposes have been met. Applicants must request refunds of security deposits within 30 days of acceptance by the City or 30 days of permit finalization (unless otherwise stated in the Master Fee Schedule.) Any deposits unclaimed after four years from the date of the deposit will be forfeited. [B] Trust Account Deposit Required. Fees billed on an hourly basis require an upfront deposit of estimated fees (see "Trust Account Information" below); the totals provided on this line item represent the required minimum
deposit. The Chief Building Official, City Engineer, Planning Manager or Economic Development Manager may adjust the required minimum deposit based on the project parameters and any additional information they may have. Additionally, all outside consultant costs required for the project are billed at actual cost plus 20% administrative costs to cover the City's costs of administering the requisite contract; a deposit to a trust account is required prior to any work commencing, and will be calculated based upon the consultant's estimate (including any contingency amount) plus 20%. Funds will be drawn down from the applicant's trust account as needed to pay the actual invoices and associated 20% admin fee on amounts paid.

Additional Trust Account Information Refunds of unused trust account balances will be provided upon request. Any amounts remaining in an inactive trust account will be forfeited by the depositor and/or applicant; if the remaining balance is $15 or less, account will be considered inactive after one year from date of last transaction, and in all other instances, the account will be considered inacti v
after four years from date of last transaction.
1) If written request to withdraw an application is submitted within three (3) workdays of filing an application, the full filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) 2) If written request to withdraw an application is submitted after three (3) and within seven (7) workdays of filing an application, forty precent (40%) of the filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) 3) If no written request for withdrawal is submitted by the time specified in 1) or 2) above, no part of the filing fee shall be refundable. (12-28-92) 18

USER FEES AND CHARGES RECOVERY

1. PURPOSE
To establish policy guidelines for setting and updating User Fees and Charges; establish cost recovery goals; and ensure compliance with State law.

2. GENERAL
California Constitution Articles XIIIC and XIIID [Prop 218], Article XIIIC §1(e) [Prop 26] and Article XIIIA [Proposition 13] have placed both substantive and procedural limits on cities’ ability to impose fees and charges. This policy establishes a process for Concord’s User Fees and Charges to be reviewed and updated on an ongoing basis to ensure that fees do not exceed the City’s costs of providing services; keep pace with changes in the costs of providing the services; and keep pace with changes in methods of levels of service delivery.

3. REVIEW AND UPDATE
A comprehensive analysis of City costs and fees should be conducted at least every five years. In the interim, fees will be adjusted by annual changes in labor costs as approved by the City Council with the exception of Special Events Fees, which shall be adjusted by 3% per annum. Fees may also be changed based on supplemental analysis whenever there have been significant changes in the method, level or cost of service delivery.

4. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Concord to set User Fees and Charges based on cost recovery levels in lieu of fully subsidizing fee-related activities with General Fund dollars. The cost recovery levels are reflective of the following policy statements.

4.1 Community-wide vs. Private Benefit: The level of user fee cost recovery should consider the community-wide versus private-benefit nature of the program or activity. The use of general- purpose revenues is appropriate for community-wide services, while user fees are appropriate for services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or groups.

4.2 Service Recipient vs. Service Driver: The concept of the service recipient versus service driver is particularly important for regulated activities such as development review and police-issued permits. It could be argued that the applicant is not the beneficiary of the City's development review efforts and that the community is the primary beneficiary. However, the applicant is the driver of development review costs, and as such, cost recovery from the applicant is appropriate.

4.3 Consistency with City Goals and Policies: City policies and Council goals related to the community’s quality of life may also be factors in setting cost recovery levels. For example, fees can promote city-wide goals, facilitate environmental stewardship, encourage compliance

POLICY & PROCEDURE
Attachment 2

POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 170

with City regulations (e.g. water heater permits, minor but important permits to ensure safety) or discourage certain actions (e.g. false alarms, which negatively impact law enforcement).

4.4 Elasticity of Demand for Services: The level of cost recovery and related pricing of services can significantly affect the demand and subsequent level of services provided. At full cost recovery, this has the specific advantage of ensuring that the City is providing services for which there is genuinely a market that is not overly-stimulated by low fees.

Conversely, high levels of cost recovery will negatively impact the delivery of services to lower income groups. This negative feature is especially pronounced, and works against public policy, if the services are specifically targeted to low income groups.

4.5 Availability of Services from the Private Sector: High cost recovery levels are generally sought in situations where the service is available from other sources in order to preserve taxpayer funds for core City services. Conversely, services that are not available from other sources and are typically delivered when residents experience an emergency typically have low or zero cost recovery levels (e.g. response to a 911 call).

It should be noted, that the current Master Fee Schedule for recreational services includes a lower rate for Concord residents than residents living outside of Concord.

4.6 Feasibility of Collection and Recovery: Although it may be determined that a high level of cost recovery may be appropriate for specific services, it may be impractical or too costly to estab- lish a system to identify and charge the user. Accordingly, the feasibility of assessing and col- lecting charges should also be considered in developing user fees, especially if significant pro- gram costs are intended to be financed from that source.

POLICY & PROCEDURE NO. 170

Target Cost Recovery Levels

Based on these policy statements, the following table overlays certain cost recovery levels grouped in low (0- 40%), medium (40.1% to 80%), and high (80.1% to 100%) cost recovery ranges. It is important to note that these groupings provide policy guidance and are not absolute. Some policy statements may weigh more heavily than others, which may result in a different cost recovery level grouping for particular fees. For example, fees for recre- ational activities are expected to be set in general at the medium cost recovery level. However, fees for recreational activities for which there is high demand may have a high cost recovery level due to high enrollment levels per class. It is important to note that User Fees and Charges will be reviewed at least biennially by the City Council as part of approval of the Master Fee Schedule.

SUBJECT: Review of Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery’s 2022 Base Year Rate Application
Dear Mr. Blythe,

R3 Consulting Group (R3) is engaged by the City of Concord (City) to review the 2022 Residential Base Year Rate Application from its franchised solid waste hauler, Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR).

This report presents the results of R3’s review and our recommended adjustments to MDRR’s 2022 Base Year Rate Application. A copy of MDRR’s 2022 Base Year Rate Application is provided in Attachment 1 and a copy of the application with R3’s adjustments is provided in Attachment 2.

MDRR’s original 2022 Residential Base Year Rate Application calculated a required increase in revenues of approximately $4,300,000, which equated to a one-time rate increase of 27.11%. Based on our review we are recommending adjustments that would result in a one-time rate increase of

21.55%, with a revised projected additional revenue requirement of approximately $3,420,000.

In addition to a one-time rate increase scenario described above, MDRR proposed a 5-year schedule to phase the rate increase in over time, which will decrease the immediate impact to ratepayers such that the revenue generating outcomes of a 21.55% one-time rate increase are achieved over 5-years instead of one. Several equivalent alternatives for the 5-year phase-in schedule are included in this report.
* * * * * * *
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and would like to thank MDRR’s staff for their support during the review. Should you have any questions regarding this report or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out directly.

Sincerely,

1. INTRODUCTION
City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 1 of 14 Background
Service Areas
The City has an exclusive franchise agreement with MDRR to collect and remove for disposal and recycling, residential and commercial solid waste and recyclable materials. This contract has a 15-year term which automatically extends by 12 months at the end of every year until notice of termination.

In addition to the City, MDRR also services accounts in neighboring communities including Pittsburg, Oakley, Rio Vista, Brentwood, Bay Point, and Discovery Bay.

Overview of Rate Setting Process
Per Section 15 of the City’s Franchise Agreement (Agreement) with MDRR, the City and MDRR adopted the Rate Setting Manual for the purposes of determining collection rates which are fair to City of Concord residents while at the same time providing a fair return to the hauler. The Rate Setting Manual contains the methods of adjusting rates and describes the adjustment process between the City and MDRR.

That methodology primarily involves two distinct rate setting purposes:
》 Interim Year Rate Setting Process; and
》 Base Year Rate Setting Process.

Base year rate adjustments occur no more than every six (6) years with indexed based rate adjustments used to set the rates years between base rate adjustments.

Base Year Rate Setting Process
For the upcoming rate year (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023) the current rates are to be adjusted based on the Base Year Rate Setting Process.

With the Base Year Rate Application, the franchised hauler submits financial statements for the previously completed fiscal year, which serve as the base documents for the Rate Application.

The Base Year Rate Application is based on three years of data:
》 Actual results for the most recently completed year (2020 at the time the application was received), which are based on the audited financial statements; 》 Projected results for the current year (2021), which are to be based on year-to-date information available at the time the application is submitted; and 》 Projected results for the next year (2022 - the Base Year).

MDRR did not provide the current year (2021) projections at the time of submittal, but provided a Refuse Rate Index (RRI) rate increases to each cost category in a separate document. These RRI calculations assisted the review, however all expense projections are based on 2020 audited values. Therefore, all adjustments described in this report are based on the audited 2020 values, and not 2021 actuals.

Overall, per the Base Year Rate Application rate adjustment approach, rate adjustments are established based on the hauler’s projected revenue requirement.

The revenue requirement is defined as the sum of the following:
》 Allowed costs;
》 Allowable operating profit; and
》 Pass through costs.

Introduction

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 2 of 14 Change in Base Year Frequency
The current Agreement allows for a base year rate adjustment no more than every six (6) years. It is R3’s understanding that the City and MDRR intend to amend the Agreement to allow for base year rate adjustments every five (5) years. MDRR’s base year rate application is based on a five-year schedule and thus R3’s review followed such methodology.

Change in Commercial Rates
The City’s commercial solid waste rates are set by MDRR. Although the base year rate application (and proposed rate adjustment) is focused entirely on the residential line of business, Scope of Analysis
Our review of the Base Year Rate Application included but was not limited to the following:
》 Reviewed the 2022 Base Year Rate Application for consistency with the Rate Setting Manual Methodology;
》 Reviewed the 2022 Base Year Rate Application for mathematical accuracy; 》 Reviewed MDRR’s 2019 and 2020 audited financial statements; 》 Reviewed 2021 and 2022 projected revenues and expenses for reasonableness, including general consistency with changes in reported revenues, accounts, and tonnages; and 》 Conducted a survey of rates in neighboring communities.

2. REVIEW OF RATE APPLICATION
City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 3 of 14 Allowable Operating Costs
Direct Labor
MDRR has a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its collection drivers that sets rates for wages and benefits. MDRR projected a overall 3.51% increase in Direct Labor costs for 2022 as compared to 2020. The largest portion of this increase is related to pension benefits.

Assessment
MDRR’s projected direct labor expense increase is in alignment with series data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These adjustments are based on MDRR’s CBA.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Tipping Fee Profit (up to $51/ton)
Page I-5 of the Rate Setting Manual allows MDRR to claim operating profit on tipping fees up to $51/ton.

Any excess tipping fee cost is categorized as a pass-through cost (no profit allowed).

Assessment
MDRR is allowed to claim profit on up to $51/ton of tipping fees, however MDRR listed $55/ton in their rate application. During review of the application, MDRR agreed to adjust this limit to $51/ton.

Adjustments
Adjusted MDRR’s allowable profit on tipping fees from $55/ton to $51/ton.

Corporate Overhead
Page III-7 of the Rate Setting Manual limits corporate overhead expenses to a maximum of three percent (3%) of total operating costs.

Assessment
MDRR requested a corporate overhead expense allotment of three percent (3%) of total operating costs.

This equates to approximately 3.40% increase from 2020 corporate overhead costs.

Adjustments
Reduced corporate overhead costs by $9,107 in alignment with the reduction in total operating cost derived from other recommended adjustments.

Office Salaries
MDRR projected an increase in office salaires of 3.80% above 2020 expenses.

Assessment
MDRR’s requested increase in office salary expense is reasonable and in alignment with findings from the BLS.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Review of Rate Application

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 4 of 14 General and Administrative Costs
General and Administrative (G&A) costs represent a wide range of expenses for daily operational needs.

MDRR requested an overall increase in G&A expenses of 1.83% from 2020 expenses, which includes a 45% increase to gasoline. The increases to individual expense categories other than gasoline are relatively minor and are between 1.70% and 1.80%.

Assessment
We assessed each expense item included in G&A costs and noted only minor increases to expense items other than gasoline.

During the application review, MDRR noted that the requested 45% increase in gasoline expenses is not directly based off of industry data but rather an attempt to estimate the true costs when taking into account the current volatility in the economy and fuel prices. Furthermore, MDRR noted that when setting the 2021 (current) rates, a year-over-year review of fuel price indices demonstrated a decrease in prices.

Despite this year-over-year decrease, MDRR noted that they used a 20% increase in fuel projection when calculating 2021 rates in anticipation for a market rebound.

MDRR also requested a 65% increase for diesel and natural gas expenses for the same reasoning. The pandemic resulted in volatitlity particularly in fuel costs, which explain the abnormal annual shifts in cost.

While fuel prices plummeted in 2020, prices rebounded in 2021 and continue to remain high. MDRR noted to R3 that it would be open to discussing revised methods for calculating and projecting fuel expenses that more closely follows market trends.

After further examination of MDRR’s actual fuel expenses in 2020 and 2021, the original request for a 45% increase from 2020 fuel expenses was determined to be reasonable.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Operating Ratio
The Rate Setting Manual establishes a range of from 88% to 92% for the target operating ratio (profit) used to calculate the Base Year rate adjustment.

Assessment
MDRR’s Rate Application set its 2022 profit level equal to an 90% operating ratio, consistent with the range set forth in the Rate Setting Manual, and at the general midpoint of what R3 observes in other such rate application processes we conduct. The total operating profit projected for the 2022 base year is $1,935,566.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Review of Rate Application

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 5 of 14 Pass-Through Costs (Not Allowable on Profit Ratio)
Trucking Charges
MDRR projected an overall increase of 3.87% to trucking charges, a pass-through expense category that includes rental equipment (majority of the expense), depreciation, and fuel charges.

Assessment
MDRR did not project an increase to rental equipment costs, projected a 3.7% increase in depreciation expenses, and is projecting a 45% increase in both diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) costs.

Similar to the gasoline projection, MDRR noted that their fuel projection was based on an attempt to better anticipate fuel expenses in a time when the market continues to experience volatility.

An examination of the diesel price index from the BLS (U.S. city average) concurs with MDRR in demonstrating a year-over-year decrease (-20.86%) in diesel prices heading into 2021, and demonstrates a 63.98% year-over-year increase heading into 2022. In an attempt to reduce the unusual volatility experienced in 2020, the annual average change from 2019 to 2021 was calculated, resulting in an increase of 29.78%. Since MDRR received a 20% increase in fuel in the 2021 rates (as opposed to a decrease as demonstrated by BLS data), a base year diesel expense increase of 29.78% over 2020 expenses is reasonable and supported by industry data.

An examination of the CNG price records from Pacific Gas & Energy (U.S. city average) demonstrates an

18.28% year-over-year increase from 2019 to 2020 (which was used in setting 2021 rates through the RRI process) and a 17.53% year-over-year increase from 2020 to 2021. The annual average change from 2019 to 2021 results in an increase of 39.10%.

However after further examination of MDRR’s actual fuel expenses in 2020 and 2021, the original request for a 45% increase from 2020 fuel expenses was determined to be reasonable.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Tipping Fees
MDRR requested a tipping fee increase of 1.61% over 2020 expenses resulting from a CPI rate increase.

In addition to the CPI increase, MDRR requested $115,264 in increased tipping fees for organic waste related to implementation of SB 1383.

Assessment
MDRR’s requested tip fee increase of 1.61% ties to the gate rate increase at the Recycling Center and Transfer Station, and was approved by City of Pittsburg Council Resolution in 2021. MDRR’s request for an additional $115,264 in organic waste tipping fees results from a $6.25/ton increase in the fees to match other materials.

MDRR is permitted to claim operating profit on tipping fees up to $51/ton, after which any additional tipping fees are to be treated as pass-through costs. As noted previously, MDRR originally listed profit on $55/ton in tipping fees, which after review was subsequently adjusted to $51/ton. After allocating $51/ton to operating costs, the remaining tipping fees are correctly categorized as pass-through costs.

Adjustments
No adjustments.

Review of Rate Application

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 6 of 14 Franchise Fees
Section 17 of the franchise agreement sets the franchise fee at 13.5% of gross revenues for FY 2017/18 through FY 2021/22. The franchise agreement further defines “gross revenues” as revenue or compensation derived “without subtracting franchise fees or any other cost of doing business.” Thus, the calculation of franchise fees should include such estimated fees as part of gross revenues. Such calculation should be taken with an iterative approach. Additionally, Section 17 of the franchise agreement provisions for the re-examination of the City’s percentage (%) franchise fee during each base year review to confirm its reasonableness in relation to the residential rate structure.

MDRR projected 2022 base year franchise fees to be $6.4 million, which is a 20.21% increase from 2020 values.

Assessment
The adjustments discussed in this report affect the projected gross revenues which in turn affects the amount of franchise fees owed to the City. After making the adjustments herein, MDRR’s projected annual base year franchise fees were reduced to approximately $6.21 million.

Secondly, although MDRR estimated franchise fees based on 13.5% of gross revenues, the franchise fees were subtracted from the gross revenues which is not in alignment with Section 17.a. of the franchise agreement. After adjusting the calculation such that franchise fees are categorized as gross revenues, the projected annual base year franchise fees rose to approximately $6.29 million.

The projected $6.29 million in base year franchise fees represent a $930,000 or 17.45% increase over franchise fee payments in 2020, a large increase that is a result of an unusually high base rate request spurred largely by new SB 1383 related expenses.

Adjustments
Adjusted franchise fees from $6,412,075 to $6,290,494 in accordance with the above.

Additional Expenses to the Base Year Rate Application
In addition to the standard base year application, MDRR requested funding for additional expenses largely in relation to implementing SB 1383 requirements. These additional expenses include operating costs, capital expenditure costs, and tipping fee expenses.

Additional Operating Costs
After submission of the base year rate application, MDRR communicated that there were two additional expenses not accounted for in the application.

The first expense was an additional half-time allotment of code enforcement for the City. MDRR currently remits payment to the City to cover the cost of a half-time code enforcement officer, which is approximately $70,000. This additional half-time code enforcement work brings the total expense to that of a full-time code enforcement officer (fully loaded), which is approximately $133,363. Therefore, an additional $60,363 was added to G&A expenses in the rate application.

The second expense related to the debris box services provided annually to the City. MDRR provides up to 540 debris box collections for City usage as well as up to 300 debris box collections for the City’s Neighborhood Preservation events. In most years there has not been a need to service the full allotment and as such MDRR projected the number of debris box events based past years. However, for the base year projections MDRR requested funding to cover the total potential debris box collections. This resulted in an additional $330,580 in total expenses, including tipping fees and profit, and which was added to the total operating costs.

Review of Rate Application

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 7 of 14 In addition, MDRR requested $743,497 for new vehicles, which was listed in the original application submittal.

Tipping Fees
MDRR sends all collected material to it’s Recycling Center and Transfer Station in the City of Pittsburg.

The City of Pittsburg recently approved a $16.25/ton increase to the tipping fee to fund processing and SB 1383 related expenses including organic processing infrastructure. However, this increase was approved as a three-year phase-in, with equivalent annual increases over the next three years.

MDRR allocates the $16.25/ton tip fee increase to four different expenses: On-site maintenance building ($0.75/ton), organics building & infrastructure ($4.75/ton), recyclables proceesing fee ($6.50/ton), and SB 1383 post collection operations ($4.25/ton).

Although the tip fee escalates evenly over the next three years, MDRR originally requested the full amount in the 2022 base year, which would result in overpayment of tipping fees to MDRR for the next two years. Upon review and discussion, MDRR agreed to include only the first year of the tip fee increase in the base year rate application, whereas the next two annual RRI adjustments will factor in the tip fee increase to fully recover costs.

For the 2023 and 2024 RRI calculations, this will be accomplished by MDRR including a additional $5.42 per ton for “Disposal Fees” in addition to the annual year over year increase in disposal fees. This will be accomplished by MDRR calculating the annual average of the 2022 gate rates PLUS $5.42 per ton divided by the annual average 2021 gate rate, yielding the percentage change in the Disposal Fees component of MDRR’s RRI application. The result is expected to be an approximate 1.65% above the baseline RRI increase in 2023 and 2024.

It should be noted that, per Page I-6 of the Rate Setting Manual, the annual RRI shall be capped at 7%.

As of the writing of this report, it is anticipated that inflation may result in higher RRI figures than have been experienced in recent years. The combined effects of inflation and the increases in disposal fees referenced above may result in a calculated RRI in 2023 and/or 2024 that exceeds the 7% cap. In the even that occurs, MDRR may request a special extraordinary adjustment to the rates, as described on Page I-7 of the Rate Setting Manual.

SB 1383 Expenses
MDRR requested $380,976 for SB 1383 G&A expenses pertaining to cart, lid, and label depreciation, food scrap pails, outreach and education, and contamination monitoring (lid flips).

Assessment
The pails, outreach and education, and monitoring expenses are projected as a single year expense, while carts, lids, and label depreciation are projected as annual expenses over the next five years. When calculating depreciation expenses for the base year application, MDRR included the incremental depreciation costs that will be incurred each of the next five years.

Additionally, the SB 1383 expenses included costs for additional labor ($83,473) and an additional collection route ($142,517). No adjustments were made to these expenses and they were determined to be reasonable.

Adjustments
Adjusted SB 1383-related additional Tipping Fees from $1,516,271 to $505,424.

Review of Rate Application

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 8 of 14 Total Projected Expenses
MDRR’s total projected expenses are comprised of Allowable Costs (those from which profit can be generated on), Operating Profit, and Pass-through costs. The sum of these expenses yields the total revenue requirement - the total annual revenue required from rate payers. Table 1 shows the total adjustment for each major expense category and the total projected revenue requirement based on those adjustments.

Total Projected Revenues
MDRR projected a 0.74% increase in residential revenues at current rates for 2022 as compared to revenue from 2020. MDRR sets commercial rates and has proposed a 9.00% increase to those rates.

MDRR projected recycled material sales to amount to $131,794 in 2022, which is a calculated average of sales in 2019 and 2020. The total pre-based year rate adjustment revenue projected for 2022, including a

9.00% commercial rate increase, is 8.08% higher than 2020 reported revenues. These projected increases in non-residential ratepayer revenues offset the needed amount of residential rate revenue adjustment.

3. RATE ADJUSTMENT IMPLEMENTATION
City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 10 of 14 In past practice, the base rate adjustment would go into full effect in the base rate year, with subsequent years (until the next base rate adjustment) being subject to rate adjustments via the RRI as outlined in the City’s franchise agreement. This base year, however, includes costs that are larger than historical requests due to implementing SB 1383 and maintaining satisfactory operations, and as such MDRR has proposed an alternative rate adjustment schedule that phases in the base adjustment over five (5) years.

MDRR presented this alternate as an option to spread out adjustment over several years, which is a common strategy particularly when facing a large rate increase not unlike the City’s situation. A common reason for phasing in a rate adjustment is to reduce negative perception by reducing the immediate impact on ratepayers. Phasing in a large rate increase over time tends to reduce negative public perception and stabilizes customer subscription migration.

Tables 2-5 below show four (4) scenarios outlining the rate differences in the adjustment methodologies between a one-time base year rate increase and different phased-in approaches. The phased-in rates in each scenario were designed based on the following criteria:

》 Scenario 1: Large increase in the first year (14.00%), followed by minimal adjustments (3.22%) plus projected RRI increase in the following years.
》 Scenario 2: Minimal increase in the first year (3.00%) followed by equivalent adjustments (8.34%) plus the projected RRI increase in the following years. 》 Scenario 3: Base year rate adjustment is evenly spread across rate years at 6.60%, plus the projected RRI increase in the following years.
》 Scenario 4: Total annual adjustments (base year phase-in plus projected RRI) are equivalent across all rate years at approximately 9.76% (depending on actual RRI values).

For each of these scenarios, the total 5-year projected revenue generation is approximately equal at $105.9 million in total from 2022 through 2026, and inclusive of an assumed 5.15% RRI in 2023 and 2024 (inclusive of the Disposal Fee adjustments noted in this report) and 3.5% in 2025 and 2026. As noted elsewhere in this report, the actual RRI values in future years may be higher as a result of inflation; for the purpose of this analysis we used the historical ~3.5% RRI value.

Scenario 1

As shown in Table 2, total five year revenue generation potential for a one-time increase in 2022 vs. a five-year phased-in increase is nearly identical. In a one-time rate increase, the City’s residential ratepayers would see an increase of 21.55% in 2022, followed by the normal projected RRI indexed rate adjustment methodology in the following years. Years 2023 and 2024 have higher projected RRI projections associated with the known tip fee increases at MDRR’s facility in the City of Pittsburg in those years.

As shown in Table 2 on the prior page, in the Scenario 1 phased-in approach, the City’s residential ratepayers would see a 14.00% increase in 2022, followed by annual increases of 3.22% plus the RRI adjustment (again, shown at an assumed 3.50% based on historical trends, but which will vary according to the annual RRI calculation).

Scenario 2

As shown in Table 3, Scenario 2 of the phased-in approach, the City’s residential ratepayers would see a minimal 3.00% increase in 2022, followed by annual increases of 8.34% plus the RRI adjustment.

Scenario 3

As shown in Table 4, Scenario 3 of the phased-in approach, the City’s residential ratepayers would see equal annual rate increases of 6.60%, plus the RRI adjustment.

Rate Adjustment Implementation

City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 12 of 14 Scenario 4

As shown in Table 5, Scenario 4 of the phased-in approach, the City’s residential ratepayers would see a total increase (base-year adjustment plus RRI adjustment) of approximately 9.76% each of the five (5) rate years.

Another aspect to consider in these scenarios is the projected rates after this 5-year period. In terms of the phased-in approaches, Scenario 1 would result in the lowest total projected customer rates compared to the other scenarios. Scenario 2 would result in the highest total projected customer rates.

One-Time Base Year Rate Adjustment

Benefits
》 At the end of five years, the monthly customer rate will be lower than in taking a phased-in approach.
》 Simpler to implement and track.

Drawbacks
》 Large rate increase occurring in a single year.
》 Possible negative ratepayer perception and stronger opposition compared to a phased-in approach.
》 May lead to abnormal subscription migration.

Five-Year Phase-In of Base Year Rate Adjustment

Benefits
》 Less likely to lead to abnormal subscription migration. 》 Likely less negative ratepayer perception and less opposition compared to a one-time increase.

Drawbacks
At the end of five years, the monthly customer rate will be higher than if implementing a one-time increase.

4. COMPARISON OF RATES
City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 13 of 14 When setting new solid waste rates it is good practice to survey the rates of nearby communities to obtain perspective on the industry average. The City’s rates remain competitive among the surveyed jurisdictions below.

As shown in Table 6 below, the City’s current 32-gallon rate is approximately 13% lower than the surveyed average. The 32-gallon container is projected to have approximately 39% of the City’s customers subscribed to this level of service. The 64-gallon rate is ~30% lower than the surveyed average accounting for roughly 34% of the City’s customer base, and the 96-gallon residential rate is ~41% lower than the surveyed average with 24% of the City’s customers subscribing. The 96-gallon container is the least popular option among residential customers, however it is significantly lower in cost than nearby communities. The remaining 3% of City customers are projected to have low income senior citizen rates.

As for a phased-in approach, each of the four (4) scenarios are included in the table. The rate shown for year scenario is associated only with the year one increase. These phased-in rates for 2022 (year one) compare even more favorably to the average.

Table 6: Residential Solid Waste Rate Survey

Differences in rates between jurisdictions are the result of multiple different factors including differences in levels of service offerings. Nevertheless, one factor that helps to explain the City’s rate differences is the types of rate structures used among communities. Several surveyed communities have nearly directly linear rate structures, in which the cost of the container is directly proportional to the size. For each incremental increase in disposal capacity, customers pay an equally associated increase in price, which is known as a “Pay-As-You-Throw” (PAYT) rate structure. This type of rate structure typically results in lower rates for the smallest cart and higher rates for the largest cart when compared to rates in other jurisdictions. Additionally, jurisdictions are implementing SB 1383 on different schedules which affects the rates in each jurisdiction differently depending on when programs were implemented. Furthermore, some jurisdictions implemented SB 1383 while negotiating new contracts with haulers, which may have provided unseen benefits to those jurisdictions and the respective rates.

5. FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
City of Concord | Base Year Rate Adjustment 14 of 14 Recommended Rate Adjustment
MDRR’s original 2022 Base Year Rate Application calculated a required increase in revenues for 2022 of approximately $4,306,483, which equates to a rate increase of 27.11%. Based on our review we are recommending adjustments that would result in a one-time rate increase of 21.55%. That is based on a revised revenue increase requirement of approximately $3,423,782.

The difference between the adjusted rate adjustment and MDRR’s calculated rate adjustment is due to the following:
》 Reduced the amount of profit-allowed tipping fees by $363,940 to account for profit on up to $51/ton rather than the original $55/ton listed on the original rate application; 》 Reduced corporate overhead by $9,107, which is a result of overall reduction in allowable costs (corporate overhead is limited to 3% of the other allowable cost; 》 Increased other and general administrative costs by $60,363 for the additional cost of a City half- time code enforcement officer;
》 Reduced operating profit by $34,743 resulting from the above adjustments; 》 Reduced pass-through tipping fees by $762,171 as a result of only including one year of tipping fee adjustments (whereas the second and third years of tipping fee increases will be implemented through the RRI process) while reducing the amount of profit-allowed tipping fees as explained above;
》 Adjusted the calculation of franchise fees such that gross revenues include the franchise fees received; and
》 Reduced franchise fees by $121,581 as a result of the above adjustments.

Table 7, below, shows the City’s monthly residential rate impact of the recommended 21.55% rate increase.

Table 6 on the prior page demonstrates the impact to the monthly residential rates via the 5-year phased-in rate adjustment alternatives.

5. 5-Year Rate Adjustment Options

10 •Base Year Rate Adjustment
◦ Base Year rate adjustment was last completed in 2016
◦ Expenses for the coming rate year are projected based on actual expenses in prior years plus projected changes
◦ Revenues prior to rate adjustments are based on current rates and subscription levels
◦ The difference between projected expenses and projected revenues at current rates yields a revenue shortfall (or surplus) ◦ Shortfall divided by current revenues yields percentage increase

11 •Unique Circumstances Related to COVID-19
◦ There was a significant increase in unpaid accounts across residential, multi-family, commercial, & roll off revenue (~$1 million / 1,436 accounts)
◦ Although allowed by the Rate Manual, un-collected revenue is not in MDRR’s Base Year rate request
◦ MDRR did not apply for Refuse Rate Index (RRI) and held rates flat
◦ MDRR’s Base Year rate request uses pre-pandemic commercial revenue numbers thus helping to lower the overall residential revenue requirement

Rate Review Outcomes
•Adjusted Base Year Rate Adjustment
◦ Recommended one-t ime increase of 21.55%
◦ Findings reviewed and agreed to by MDRR
◦ Adjustments included:
◦ Funding for City enforcement staffing (for SB 1383 and other solid waste c
ompliance matters)
◦ Funding for full usage of allotted clean-u p services to the City ◦ Phasing-i n of government approved increases in tipping expenses (for SB 1383 compliance, capital improvements, recycling)
◦ Reductions to corporate overhead costs
◦ Reductions to profit and franchise fees resulting from all other adjustments 12

Factors Affecting Rate Increases
•21.55% rate increase includes:
◦ 1.47% t o replace prior temporary recycling
surcharge
◦ 2.08% f und full allotment of City clean -up
services (any unused services will result in a credit in future rate years)
◦ 4.65% f or changing operating expenses,
and reflective of no rate adjustment since
2019
•Unfunded State Mandates (13.35%)
◦ 0.49% t o fund City enforcement position
(SB 1383 and other solid waste compliance matters)
◦ 5.58% f or compliance with California Air
Resource Board (CARB)
◦ 7.28% f
or SB 1383 implementation,
including
◦ New transfer station infrastructure and
c
omposting costs
◦ Additional organics collection routes
◦ New color- compliant carts, lids and labels
◦ New residential and multi- family food scrap
pails
◦ New outreach and education activities
◦ Contamination audits and others new

Comparison to Other Communities
•R3 compared Concord’s current rates to other cities
◦ Antioch, Danville, Hercules, Kensington, Lafayette, Martinez, Orinda, Oakley, P
inole, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, San Pablo, San Ramon and Walnut Creek
•Concord’s current residential rates are well below average ◦ 32-g allon monthly rate is ~$5.50 or 14% below average (39% of customers) ◦ 64-g allon monthly rate is ~$21.00 or 31% below average (34% of customers) ◦ 96-g allon monthly rate is ~$41.50 or 42% below average (24% of customers) •Concord’s 2022 residential rates via any 5- year Option will remain below current averages
•Commercial rates are not regulated by City but also are below average 15

5-Year Rate Adjustment Options
17 •MDRR is willing to implement the rate
adjustment over 5 years
◦ Years 2 through 5 are in addition to the annual Indexed “RRI” Rate Adjustments
◦ RRI has historically been ~3.5% but will likely be higher in future years due to inflation and increases in tipping fees due to SB 1383 infrastructure improvements
◦ RRI capped at 7% per Rate Manual

Date: May 3, 2022
To: City Council
From: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager
Prepared by: Valerie J. Barone, City Manager

(925) 671-3150
Subject: Considering the formation of a Council Ad Hoc Committee to develop recommendations for full Council review on the
American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) Investment Plan—
specifically on spending categories, dollar allocations to spending categories, and process for allocating funds within each spending category; the Committee will exist until
recommendations are made to the full Council or the end of calendar year 2022, whichever comes first.

CEQA: Not a project/exempt pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c),
15061(b)(3), 15262, and/or 15378.

The Council, at its meeting of April 26, 2022, directed staff to schedule the creation of an ad-hoc committee to support the development of an American Recovery Act Plan (ARPA) Investment Plan on the next available Council meeting of May 3, 2022.

Recommended Action
That the Mayor appoint two Councilmembers to serve on a Council Ad Hoc Committee until recommendations are forwarded to the full Council or December 31, 2022, whichever comes first, to make recommendations to the full Council on the ARPA Investment Plan, specifically including: spending categories, dollar allocations to spending categories, and process for allocating funds within each spending category.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 8.a
May 3, 2022
Background
Ad Hoc Committees
Pursuant to City of Concord – City Council Meeting Procedures Section 4.53.d, the Mayor may, from time to time, announce appointments to ad hoc advisory committees composed solely of less than a majority of the members of the City Council; the announcement of such appointments shall appear on the posted agenda, but shall not require approval from a majority of the City Council.

The use of Ad Hoc committees is permitted under the Brown Act so long as they:
 Serve a limited or single purpose that is not perpetual;  Are comprised solely of less than a quorum of the City Council (for a five member Council as in Concord, that means two Councilmembers.);  Have a defined purpose and timeframe to accomplish that purpose;  Dissolve once the specific task is complete or the time has expired; and  Are advisory.

An Ad Hoc committee is not subject to notice and posting requirements, nor to holding public meetings, if the above requirements are followed.

Analysis
The proposed Ad Hoc committee meets all the requirements of City Council meeting procedures Section 4.53.d.

Financial Impact
Creation of the Ad Hoc Committee has no financial impact; however, matters discussed may result in City Manager actions or recommendations to the City Council that have a monetary effect.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c), 15061(b)(3), 15262), and/or 15378, City Council action on this item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and falls within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.”
