The event will include vendors and food trucks selling food, beverages, and merchandise.

La Bonita has reviewed the City’s insurance requirements and has indicated that they will provide adequate insurance. A Condition of Approval has been included which requires proof of

Item type: CONSENT CALENDAR (ACTION)
To: City Council
Subject: Dash Camera Agreement for Police Electric Vehicles Date: March 14, 2023
Written by: Michael Parish, Chief of Police
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a 5 year agreement with Axon for deployment of dash cameras in the police electric vehicles.

Background
The newer police electric vehicles have glass roofs, which prevents the mounting of conventional dash cameras. Older police vehicles can have dash cameras mounted on the interior of the steel roof.

Analysis/Discussion
Dash cameras are an important tool for risk reduction, as they fully capture events prior to the police officer exiting the vehicle. In the event of a complaint or litigation, this allows management to review events leading up to the vehicle stop. Once the officer exits the vehicle, the body worn cameras pick up officer interactions with the citizen. In the event that the police officer is transporting someone, the dash camera also documents the transport.

The Cotati Police use Axon body worn cameras, so the dash camera will work together to fully document the event and automatically upload the video to a secure server.

The Cotati Police were the first to fully deploy body worn cameras in Sonoma County. The deployment of body cameras has greatly improved dispute resolution, and the addition of the dash camera to the electric vehicles will ensure that the Cotati Police remain at the forefront of police technology to ensure continued accountability while reducing the potential for litigation.

Financial Considerations
The proposed 5-year agreement is $12,219.40 per year, for a total cost of $63,566.15 from the General Fund. Due to the 8-month lead time, the City will need to order the equipment now for deployment in January 2024. Therefore, if approved by the City Council, this expense will be

included in the forthcoming FY 23-24 budget.

Environmental Issues
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

To: City Council
Subject: Review of Proposed Sonoma Water Transmission System Budget for Fiscal Year 2023-24
Date: March 14, 2023
Written by: Craig Scott, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Recommendation
It is recommended the City Council adopt a motion providing direction to the City's Water Advisory Committee Member to endorse the proposed Sonoma County Water Agency FY 2023- 24 Water Transmission System Budget.

Background
The Sonoma County Water Agency (Sonoma Water) has a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from the prime water contractors (specific cities and water districts that purchase water from Sonoma Water, as named in the Restructured Agreement for Water Supply), and a Water Advisory Committee (WAC) comprised of designated elected officials from these same prime water contractors.

At the TAC meeting on March 6, 2023, Sonoma Water is to present the attached draft budget for the TAC consideration and recommendation to the WAC. At the prior joint WAC/TAC meeting on February 6, 2023, the WAC chair set April 3, 2023 as the special meeting date to have the WAC vote on the proposed FY 23/24 Water Agency water transmission system budget.

Analysis/Discussion
In accordance with the Restructured Agreement for Water Supply (the wholesale water supply agreement for the prime water contractors, including Cotati), the City’s wholesale water rate is tied to the Petaluma Aqueduct rate. The proposed overall increase to the wholesale water rate for FY 22/23 is 9.42 percent. Based on the Restructured Agreement for Water Supply, the rates are based on budgeted deliveries of 41,847 Acre-Feet (AF) which is the total actual water deliveries for the last twelve months. The proposed Budget package prepared by Sonoma Water is attached and contains a summary, table of contents and budget detail sheet.

The elements of the budget are further described below:

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (O&M) CHARGE. This charge consists of a base

11.A
Packet Pg. 38
O&M charge and four sub-charges that together make up the “Total O&M Charge”.

The base O&M charge would increase by $87.28/AF (10.7%) due to a lower than budgeted water sales resulting in a lower delivery figure for budgeting.

A summary of the O&M fund changes for FY23/24 compared to the FY22/23 adopted budget is shown on page i, and changes to the O&M rate, revenues and expenditures are shown on page ix of the attached document.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SUB-CHARGES
The four sub-funds within the Total O&M Charge are as follows:

1. Water Management Planning. This sub-charge is used primarily to fund the Urban Water Management Plan and related activities. The plan is required by the State for years ending in zero and five. Past rate increases have accumulated the fund balance and has enabled the proposed FY23/24 rate to be zero. The current UWMP was submitted in FY 2021.

2. Watershed Planning/Restoration. This sub-charge is used primarily to fund activities required for the implementation of the Biological Opinion. This subcharge would increase by $3.25/AF (9.9%). The rate increase is primarily due to an 8.5% decrease in deliveries despite using $3.5 million in fund balance.

3. Recycled Water & Local Supply. This sub-charge is used primarily for funding recycled water and local supply projects. Fiscal Year 2023/24 rate is a decrease of $0.50/AF which is a 100 percent decrease. Past rate increases have accumulated sufficient fund balance for this fund.

4. Water Conservation. This sub-charge is used for funding regional water conservation efforts, such as regional media ads and supporting the regional Sonoma-Marin Water Saving Partnership. This sub-charge is to increase by $6.58/AF (13.8%). The rate increase is primarily a result in the 8.5% decrease in deliveries despite using $418,000 in fund balance to moderate the increase.

Summaries of the major expenses in each of these sub-funds can be found on pages 25-34 of the attached Proposed Sonoma Water FY 23/24 Transmission System Budget.

Financial Considerations
Approval of the budget is expected to result in an increase of 9.42 percent to the wholesale rate of water that the City purchases from Sonoma Water. The City’s 5-Year rate model, includes a 6 percent wholesale water rate increase for years 2022 and 2023, and a 5.5 percent increase for years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The difference of the rate model rate and the proposed Sonoma Water rate increase of 3.42% represents approximately $68,000 of increased operations costs to the City. This increase can be offset by increasing City local groundwater pumpage and by finding operational savings. Continued disparities between the City’s rate model and actual wholesale increases over several years may prompt the need for an early reevaluation of the

11.A
Packet Pg. 39
City’s 5-year rate program.

The City, Rohnert Park and Petaluma TAC representatives all agreed to reduce the discretionary Capital Charge from $12/AF to zero to lower the rate from 10.53% to 9.42%. The Capital Charge is to steadily build up a fund for capital projects. A one-year pause may be justified due to the extenuating circumstances of the drought, which led to a dramatic decrease in water deliveries, and this rate can be replenished once demands increase above drought levels.

Page 3 ends

comparison as the water usage varies. Because water usage has steadily increased over this period, the City’s purchased water costs to Sonoma Water have increased.

Slide 15 of the attached power point, is a chart comparing the proposed Sonoma Water rate increase to other wholesale water agencies. Even with the proposed rate increase, Sonoma Water’s rate remains well below those of other wholesale water agencies.

As with the City’s financial planning, the Sonoma Water long range financial model’s goal is to provide long term rate stability while preparing for long range capital projects. The goal is to build up capacity for future projects, while avoiding large year-over-year rate increases.

Environmental Issues
Council action on this item is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not constitute a project as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378.

Dry Creek Habitat Enhancement Phase 4 design activities have been completed. The U.S Army Corps anticipates construction of Phase 4 in the summer of 2023. Right-of-way activities are ongoing for all three phases. Sonoma Water has pending expenditure credits under review by the U.S. Army Corp. The credits may offset a portion of Sonoma Water’s 35% cost share for Phases 4, 5, and 6 construction costs. The draft budget includes the addition of design, right-of way, and construction for Dry Creek Habitat Enhancement Phase 4 inlet 13B, ongoing costs for Phases 5 and 6 design, right-of way, and construction and other required biological opinion activities.

Among other ongoing biological opinion activities, Sonoma Water staff are currently working on revisions in anticipation of recirculating the Draft EIR in 2023.

In FY23/24, a $150,000 match contribution has also been included for the Potter Valley Project Russian River Water Forum Grant application submitted to DWR under the 2022 Urban Community Drought Relief Grant Program. If the grant is awarded additional match would also be provided by the County of Sonoma, County of Mendocino, and the Sonoma Water Russian River Projects Fund.

Programmatic Summary and Effect on Rate Increase:

Sonoma Water and the Sonoma Marin Saving Water Partnership plan to continue work on drought related initiatives and corresponding outreach and education activities.

There was an expansion of programs (at the direction of the Water Contractors) to respond to the historical drought conditions after rates were set in FY21/22 and FY22/23. The costs of these programs were not captured in the previous years’ rates and the expenses we therefore paid for by fund balance. These programs included a $66,000 increase for Drought kits and prize giveaways, as well as $40,000 in printed drought outreach materials, $195,000 in advertising, and $28,000 in ad-design services (photography, videos, and graphic design).

This year we are also proposing to apply for and if awarded administer a Department of Water Resources (DWR) grant through the Urban Community Drought Relief Grant Program. Pursuing this grant does increase the proposed rate in the subfund for FY23/24 by approximately 8.5% due to upfront match costs, which includes not only programmatic match, but also match from grant administration staff expenses that disproportionately fall DRAFT

11.A.b
Packet Pg. 53
Attachment: FY 23-24 Draft WT Budget TAC Bookmarked (SCWA Proposed FY 23-24 Budget) Sonoma Water iv Draft 2/28/2023
in FY23/24 (due to required agreements needed with the Partners) that are only 55 percent reimbursable. The programmatic costs also hit FY23/24 disproportionally due to the match requirements of the grant program.

However, the grant ultimately covers 75% of total programmatic costs and the added benefit to the water contractors vastly outweighs the extra 8.5% rate increase that would be incurred. Additional benefits that will be realized for this cost include a commercial, industrial, and institutional (CII) sector Spatial Analysis to provide landscape area measurements (and non-functional turf measurement) needed for the CII standard of the statewide water conservation framework, a regional WaterSmart Plant Kit Program to convert 1.2 million square feet of turf to low water use landscaping, residential Water Smart Home Assessments, and additional QWEL trainings and development of a new QWEL greywater manual. Grant funds will be able to offset costs we would have incurred anyway for ongoing regional programs such as QWEL trainings, the annual Eco-Friendly Garden Tour, and the WaterSmart Plant Label Program, with some small expansion of this program included in the grant in direct support of marketing the WaterSmart Plant Kit program. Overall, however, these ongoing program costs will be significantly lower for the three-year period of the grant. Lastly, we are maximizing pre-award cost match to keep the programmatic match costs low.

The Water Conservation Subfund budget is otherwise only inclusive of what is needed to maintain existing successful regional programs of the Partnership, including the Water Education Program, Green Business Program, Garden Sense Program, Water Loss Working Group and Validation Services, QWEL Program, DIY Toolkit, Eco-Friendly Garden Tour, Russian River Friendly Landscaping, and the WaterSmart Plant Label Program.

Additional funding is included to sustain the Partnership regional outreach campaigns, website, and regional representation for the developing Urban Water Use Objectives. No expanded services would be included for the plant label program ($10,000) without the grant, and no reimbursement of future program costs for these ongoing programs would occur. The table below summarizes the budget and rates with and without the DWR grant.

Summary
The draft proposed budget for FY 2023/2024 is based on accomplishing the required elements of the Biological Opinion, maintenance of facilities, and continued implementation of hazard mitigation and reliability projects, and projects responsive to the drought conditions.

Sonoma Water recognizes the profound impact of natural hazards and the COVID-19 pandemic to many residents, businesses, and our retail water contractors throughout our county and beyond. In response to the far-reaching financial hardships, Sonoma Water made a conscious effort to keep rate increases at a minimum while continuing to maintain system reliability and public health and safety. Sonoma Water has consistently kept DRAFT

Budget and Rate Reduction Measures reflected in the March 1 draft budget:
• Decreased rate increase from 20% to 10.56% in part by deferring $2.4 million in operations and maintenance projects. Sonoma Water has been deferring millions of dollars of capital and maintenance projects annually to reduce rate increases. The $2.4 million in deferred maintenance projects in this FY 2023/2024 Draft Budget is the maximum that can reasonably be deferred. • Total expenditures budget is 4.91% lower than FY 2022/2023. • Capital Program is fully funded by the 2022 sale of $15 million in Revenue Bonds, grants, and fund balance. No contribution from Water Transmission O&M Fund.

The contractors on the Petaluma AQ have decreased their capital charge to $0 reducing their rate to 9.42%. The contractors on the Sonoma AQ reduced their capital change from $38 to $34.90 reducing their rate to 10.56%.
• Use of $18.15 million in grants, fund balance, and bond proceeds reduces the rate increase from 51.44% to 10.56%.
o Use of Fund Balance: $12.3 million. Unable to use more prudent reserve and remain compliant with debt coverage covenant.
o Grant revenue: $2.99 million
o Bond proceeds: $2.86 million
• Water Transmission System Total Cost per Gallon is $0.004.

Factors affecting the Rate Increase:
• 8.5% decrease in budgeted water deliveries.
• Two years with actual water deliveries between 4% and an estimated 9% less than budget. • 2.5% decrease in total revenue.
• 4.5% increase in O&M costs.
• 77% of the rate increase is attributable to the O&M budget, 14% to debt service, and 8% to the subfunds (Water Management, Watershed Planning and Restoration, Recycled Water and Local Supply, and Water Conservation).
• The net effect of the Water Conservation Rate Increase (including or excluding the proposed Department of Water Resources grant) on the Total Water Transmission Rate Increase is 0.39%. • Increases in material and equipment costs for aging infrastructure and priority maintenance projects that can no longer be deferred, continued supply chain disruptions, long lead times on equipment, and the current inflationary environment are putting upward pressure on the Water Transmission System budget.
