PROGRAM
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign the CDBG Statement of Assurances Mayor Wright opened the public hearing at 6:21 p.m.

City Manager Wier reported to the Council what the process is for the CDBG Notice of Funding Availability and what is required to apply for the next round. Economic Development and Grants Manager Lacey went over the projects that can be applied for in the future, but reiterated that the only two activities that the City currently qualifies for on the 2025 NOFA is Public Service or Planning. She stated that the City's current outreach efforts will also help determine what the community would like to see for future projects when there are more options for applications. The Family Resource Center was the only proposal received for a Public Service activity and City staff has determined that there is not currently the staff capacity to do another Planning activity on this NOFA.

Marina MacNeil, Food Bank Director for the Family Resource Center (FRC) stated how the funding would be used for the Food Bank and how many people they serve. Council Member Shamblin asked if the amount of people they serve are repeated visits, Director MacNeil stated that they are reporting the single visits instead of mulitple. Council Member Greenough asked what other funding FRC receives; Director MacNeil stated both State and Federal funding. Council Member Greenough asked how much of the CDBG funds were left; Director MacNeil stated just under 50%. Council Member Greenough asked how much longer the funds left over will last; Director MacNeil stated a year. Manager Lacey stated that it’s unknown when the NOFA will be released or when the funds would be distributed and that it is anticipated that there will be a sixmonth gap. Council Member Shamblin asked what Federal fund gives to them; Director MacNeil stated the Federal Department of Health and Human Services.

Sam Strait: stated that the number of people being served shows how many people are in need in our community.

Mayor Wright closed the public hearing at 6:34 p.m.

On a motion by Council Member Altman, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Tinkler, and carried unanimously on a 5-0 polled vote, the City Council of the City of Crescent City directed staff to prepare an application for CDBG funding under the 2025 NOFA for the FRC Food Pantry in the amount of $300,000, approved and adopted Resolution No. 2026-17, A RESOLUTION OF THE

CONTINUING BUSINESS

12. Jacobs 10% Basis of Design Report for the WWTP Rotating Biological Contractor (RBC) Capital Upgrade, Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Replacement and Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project and CEQA Determination
• Recommendation: Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Technical questions from the Council
• Adopt the Jacobs Basis of Design Report / 10% Design for Crescent City RBC Capital Upgrade and Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project
• Find that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Class 1 Existing Facilities (§ 15301), Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction (§ 15302), Class 3 New Construction of Conversion of Small Structures (§ 15303), and Class 32 In-Fill Development Projects (§ 15332); and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption City Manager Wier reported to the Council that the WWTP is a vital component for our infrastructure. He explained the Basis of Design Report in detail as well as the details of the RBC Capital Upgrade and Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project. By doing this, it supports our community by having potential access to $50 million in grants to construct the improvements. City Manager Wier outlined the operations of the existing Treatment Plant. He further stated that Jacobs has a very strong team that is doing a great job managing the Plant. He explained that the new NPDES Permit has tighter limits on coliform and bacteria. With the new permit, we did have violations, however, if we were under the old permit, there wouldn’t be as many due to the recent changes in regulations. He explained that the violations were not due to new connections causing failure, they have to do with the high flows during wet weather events. Mayor Wright asked how the construction will affect the operations of the WWTP; City Manager Wier stated it will be timed right to do one at a time and other options that can be done to keep the Plant totally operational. Mayor Pro Tem Tinkler expressed the importance of this project and that one of the first things new Council Members do is tour the WWTP. She emphasized that it is not the connections that cause the violations. Even during tourist season and the number of people coming through town, this is not causing any stress on the Plant, it is the wet weather events.

Plant Manager Austin Nova stated that more solids are created during tourist season, however, staff always plans ahead of time on managing it. Council Member Greenough asked about the Coastal Commission portion of this project and hopes it will be paid for by them. Will there be pushback from the Coastal Commission? City Manager Wier stated they have a job to do as well, however due to the project design being in line with what the Coastal Commission requires, it’ll make it agreeable to them. Planner Brown explained the CEQA process and the categorical exemption.

Roger Gitlin: asked how many hookups there are currently and is there an ability to grow.

Jody Mangum: spoke about when she ran for City Council and when the WWTP expansion and sewer rate increase occurred. She asked about the storm drain item on consent and if CDBG funds would be used to cover the pipes. She stated she doesn’t believe the lab is generating any money like the City said it would.

Council Member Shamblin asked for the connections and flows to be gone over again; City Manager Wier stated that we can have an influx of people come into town, and the WWTP will not having a problem handling the flows. It’s the wet weather flows that create the problem with this permit. He reiterated that even if not another person hooks up to the sewer system, this problem will still exist because of wet weather events. If more people hook up to the sewer, which 6 | P a g e

the capacity is there, there are more people to spread the costs around for the expenses of the WWTP. He further explained that at a future Council meeting, sewer rates will be discussed and reminded everyone that rates haven’t been raised in 10 years, and costs have significantly increased.

On a motion by Mayor Pro Tem Tinkler, seconded by Council Member Shamblin, and carried unanimously on a 5-0 polled vote, the City Council of the City of Crescent City adopted the Jacobs Basis of Design Report / 10% Design for Crescent City RBC Capital Upgrade and Biosolids/Digester Optimization Project and found that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA under Class 1 Existing Facilities (§ 15301), Class 2 Replacement or Reconstruction (§ 15302), Class 3 New Construction of Conversion of Small Structures (§ 15303), and Class 32 InFill Development Projects (§ 15332); and directed staff to file a Notice of Exemption.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: BUDGET-TO-ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF JANUARY 31, 2026 ______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Receive and file budget-to-actual summary of the City’s major operating funds for Fiscal Year 2025-26 as of January 31, 2026

BACKGROUND
In order to provide timely information to the City Council and to the public, the City’s Finance Department has prepared the attached budget-to-actual reports. These reports provide a summary as of January 31, 2026 of the fiscal year-to-date revenues and expenses of the City’s major operating funds: General Fund, Housing Authority Fund, RV Park Fund, Sewer Fund and Water Fund.

ITEM ANALYSIS
As of January 31, 2026, we are 58% through the fiscal year, with 42% of the year remaining. It can be helpful to review the percentage of budgeted revenues received and budgeted expenses incurred to date and to compare those percentages to the calendar date. However, revenues and expenditures are not always even throughout the year for many reasons. Many revenues are not received evenly throughout the year (particularly tax revenues and grant reimbursements), most expenses are not recorded until the invoice is received in the following month, and budgets may include large projects that have not yet been completed.

This report provides a brief summary of the actual revenues and expenditures for the year to date; additional information is provided in the budget-to-actual reports attached. Note the budget numbers in this report do not include the midyear budget updates that were recently approved.

BUDGET TO ACTUAL SUMMARY AS OF JANUARY 31, 2026
MARCH 16, 2026
2 • General Fund
In the General Fund, 51% of budgeted revenues have been received with 49% remaining, and 44% of budgeted expenditures have been incurred with 56% remaining. Many General Fund revenues are received unevenly through the year (sales tax and Measure S are received two months in arrears, TOT and interest are received quarterly, and various property taxes are received in December, January, April, and May).
• Housing Authority Fund
The Housing Authority is funded by monthly disbursements from the federal government, and the monthly housing assistance payments make up the majority of the expenditure budget. Therefore, actual revenues and expenditures usually align closely with how far we are through the fiscal year. At this point, 59% of budgeted revenues have been received with 41% remaining, and 58% of budgeted expenditures have been incurred with 42% remaining.
• RV Park Fund
The RV Park earns revenue primarily from space rents, which are highly seasonal.

As of January 31, 75% of the budgeted revenue has been received with 25% remaining. At this point in the year, 50% of budgeted operating expenses have been incurred with 50% of the budget remaining.
• Sewer Fund
The Sewer Fund earns revenue primarily from monthly charges to the users of its services. As of January 31, the primary revenue source (monthly service) is on track with 59% of the budgeted received with 41% remaining. Of total revenues, 58% of the overall budget has been received with 42% remaining. Of the budgeted operating expenses, 47% has been spent with 53% remaining. • Water Fund
The Water Fund earns revenue primarily from monthly charges for service. As of January 31, the primary revenue source (monthly service) is on track with 58% of the budgeted received with 42% remaining. Of total revenues, 63% of the overall budget has been received with 37% remaining. Of the budgeted operating expenses, 48% has been spent with 52% remaining.
• Summary
The following table summarizes the actual revenues and expenses for the City’s five major operating funds, not including encumbrances:

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR DEL NORTE COUNTY’S EMERGENCY

OPERATIONS CENTER FUNDING REQUEST
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Ratify the City Manager’s signature on the Letter of Support for Del Norte County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) Funding Request.

BACKGROUND
Del Norte County is pursuing federal funding to establish a dedicated Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Public Safety Communications Facility. This project addresses longstanding vulnerabilities due to the county’s geographic isolation, tsunami risk, and need for modernized emergency coordination infrastructure.

ITEM ANALYSIS
Del Norte County requested the City’s letter of support, and the deadline for submission was March 6, 2026. As the project aligns with the City’s goals and does not commit the City to any financial obligations, the City Manager signed the letter and is requesting the Council to ratify the signature.

The proposed EOC will provide a hardened, resilient facility capable of supporting full Operational Area activation, improve emergency communications interoperability, and enhance local, regional, and federal coordination during disasters. Such disasters could include wildfires, tsunamis, severe weather, earthquakes, landslides that block major transportation routes, etc. Given our remote location, Del Norte County and Crescent City cannot necessarily count on rapid response from state or federal agencies. Having a dedicated, fully prepared EOC with communications infrastructure will be vital in such emergencies. Supporting the County’s request for federal funding for this EOC aligns with both the City’s and the County’s long-term readiness and hazard mitigation goals.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact to the City associated with ratifying this letter of support.

JAMES QUEEN, ENGINEERING PROJECT MANAGER
DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: APPROVE CHANGE ORDERS #2 AND #3 FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY

IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (HSIP) CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign contract change orders #2 and #3 with Tidewater Contractors for the HSIP Pedestrian Improvements Project

BACKGROUND
On September 8, 2020, the City Council authorized the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) grant application. The City was awarded $40,000 of which the City was responsible to fund $4,000. The City entered into a professional services agreement (PSA) with PlanWest Partners, Inc. to assist the City with developing the LRSP and an application for an HSIP (Highway Safety Improvement Program) grant.

From 2021 to 2022, the City developed a Local Road Safety Plan that utilized the best available data related to roadway incidents within the City limits. This included analysis of data from SWITRS and TIMS. In addition, comments were collected from the public through an interactive map about potential safety areas. Through this process, the LRSP identified pedestrians as one of the plans six challenge/ emphasis areas. For this reason, pedestrian crossing was identified as a systemic countermeasure that could be implemented citywide.

On December 13, 2023, the City was notified of the publication of the Project List for the HSIP and pending award of $225,000 (plus $25,000 City match) for the requested grant.

On May 15, 2024, the City received the allocation letter for the requested grant.

On June 3, 2024, the City Council approved and adopted Resolution No. 2024-43 authorizing the City Manager to represent the city and enter into agreements with Caltrans for the acceptance of this HSIP grant.

HSIP PROJECT CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER
March 16, 2026
2 The advertisement requesting bids for a Pedestrian Improvement project occurred on March 25, 2025. Four responsive bids were received on April 24th, 2025, with Tidewater Contractors being the low bidder.

ITEM ANALYSIS
By September 29, 2025, Tidewater Contractors was substantially complete with their bid work including minor changes to the scope. Change Order #2 was created to adjust the quantities completed. The result of this adjustment was a change order resulting in a credit to the City.

In discussions with Local Assistance for Caltrans, it was requested that a revised scope of work be submitted as the work completed to date did not match the scope of work submitted in the 2022 grant request. Caltrans wished to review and approve this revised scope of work to verify that the completed work follows the original grant proposal which received the grant award.

The 2022 grant request contained five plan sheets, of which four of the sheets had already been completed through other contracts, or would be completed under future contracts and agreements - specifically the Battery Point Housing project and the upcoming Beachfront Park Phase 1C project. The other grant award criterion that was not met with the current project is the State was not going to pay for any infill sidewalk sections. For example, the grant did not cover placing sidewalks between existing concrete paths and new ADA corners to create ADA accessible pathways.

The revised scope included improving the ADA ramps and crosswalks for the one page of plans originally submitted that was not performed elsewhere in the original grant application. Additional pedestrian crosswalks and striping were added to conform to the original grant objectives. The scope and budget was increased to fully utilize the available $225,000 grant funding by adding work that is reimbursable.

Caltrans notified the City on December 10, 2025 that the revised scope of work had been approved and would be reimbursed through the HSIP grant program.

Contract Change Order #1 was a no cost change order that was superseded by Change Order #2.

Change Order #2 adjusted the original bid quantities based on the work completed in the field. This included both unit quantity increases as well as decreases as well as the unit cost adjustments. The overall adjustment created a credit to the City.

Contract Change Order #3 consists of the work that was approved by Caltrans to be incorporated into our HSIP project to remain eligible for reimbursement. CCO3 changed the scope of the project by adding additional ADA corners at 7th and A Streets as shown in the grant application. Additional striping and signage was also added to comply with the original grant intent, though at locations completed by the Tidewater Contract. Unit costs have been adjusted to coincide with the revised project scope. Below is the CCO 3 in tabled format.

HSIP PROJECT CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER
March 16, 2026
5 By authorizing these change orders, the City will be able to align the eligible scope of work with the grant deliverables as requested by Caltrans. The additional budget of $66,026 is necessary to fund work that was identified as important for pedestrian safety but is not covered by the original grant scope.

The original project budget included the grant funding as well as the required local match.

The City match of $25,000 was allocated from the Measure S budget for FY 24-25 which included $100,000 for pedestrian improvements.

Grant Application: $225,000
Original City Match (Measure S): $ 25,000
Additional Pedestrian Improvement funds (Measure S) $ 66,026 Total Estimated Budget: $316,026
Staff is not requesting any additional budget for this project, as this additional $66,026 is already available and budgeted through Measure “S” street funds. The Fall 2025 pavement rehabilitation project (8th Street and other locations) had a budget of $600,000.

That project only utilized $510,042 of the budget for this fiscal year. The unspent balance from that project will be budgeted to cover the costs required to complete these two change orders.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: BRIDGET LACEY, GRANTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: 2025 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) APPLICATION ____________________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Subrecipient Agreement with the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods for the City’s proposed 2025 CDBG Food Pantry activity.
• Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute an Agreement for 2025 CDBG Funded FRC Food Pantry and Mobile Market Between the City of Crescent City and the County of Del Norte

BACKGROUND
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is a federally funded program through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The principal objective of CDBG is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate-income.

As a non-entitlement jurisdiction (cities with population less than 50,000 and counties with populations less than 200,000), Crescent City applies for CDBG program funding through the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). HCD receives funding from the federal government and releases a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to invite applications from jurisdictions within California. The most recent NOFA was released in September 2025, with approximately $27 million in funding to be awarded.

At the March 2, 2026 City Council meeting, the Council directed staff to move forward with an application for the following activity:

Competitive: Public Service - FRC Food Pantry $300,000

ITEM ANALYSIS
The next step in preparing the proposed applications is to secure all necessary contracts and agreements. For the Food Pantry activity, the Family Resource Center of the Redwoods will operate as the grant subrecipient, as a qualified non-profit, and a copy of that agreement has been attached for review. City staff also propose entering into an agreement with Del Norte County to expand the service area and number of beneficiaries we can reach through the Food 2025 CDBG APPLICATION AGREEMENTS
MARCH 16, 2026
2 Pantry. The City is allowed to retain up to 7% of the grant for general administration costs. The Subrecipient Agreement attached will reflect the following breakdown for project costs and general administration:

FRC Food Pantry project costs $281,000
City general admin $19,000
Total grant: $300,000

FISCAL ANALYSIS
If the grant application is successful, the entire program, including staff time, will be funded through the grant. The application requests the maximum amount of $300,000 and no local match is required.

CDBG funds are dispersed on a reimbursement basis. The subrecipient or consultant responsible for providing the service will invoice the City periodically, and the City will pay the subrecipient and then submit a reimbursement request to HCD. HCD typically reimburses the City approximately 30-90 days after the reimbursement request has been submitted.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
This action supports the following Strategic Plan goals:
• Goal 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors
• Goal 1(A): Enhance collaboration with other agencies and the community to better aid the public
• Goal 1(E): Target economic development improvements that provide additional benefit by enhancing the quality of life for residents
• Goal 2: Promote a thriving local economy
• Goal 2(D): Collaborate with other jurisdictions and non-profits to maximize regional effectiveness and amplify funding opportunities
• Goal 2(E): Create an environment that is conducive to attracting and retaining strong, sustainable businesses that reflect community needs and culture • Goal 2(F)(1): Streamline services that support new, existing, and prospective businesses • Goal 2(F)(9): Expand on the success of grant funding by maximizing utilization of opportunities with corresponding community needs

SPENDING (CDS) GRANT APPLICATIONS
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve staff’s submission of a grant application in the amount of $1,540,000 for the Crescent City Cultural Center Rehabilitation Project to Congressman Huffman, Senator Padilla, and Senator Schiff, to be funded under the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Community Facilities Grant Program
• Approve the letter of support signed by the Mayor endorsing the Crescent City Cultural Center Rehabilitation Project

BACKGROUND
On February 25, 2026, City staff was notified by Congressman Huffman's office that the FY27 Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) application process had opened.

Congressionally Directed Spending allows Congressmen and Senators to drive federal funding to high-impact projects in their states and local communities. CDS items can promote economic development, infrastructure, public safety, education, health care initiatives, and other worthy investments in communities across California. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, tribes, and state/local governments.

Applicants may request funding for the same project from their Congressman and Senators. Applications for funding must qualify under one of the following House Appropriations Subcommittees:
• Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
• Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
• Energy and Water Development
• Homeland Security
• Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies
Community Project Funding Grant Applications
March 16, 2026
2 • Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies • Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies • Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Each House Appropriations Subcommittee has different grant application requirements.

If a Congressman or Senator selects a project for funding, it will go to the Senate Appropriations Committee for review to ensure that it meets all requirements before being considered for funding. Congressionally Directed Spending is contingent upon the passage of annual appropriations bills.

The deadlines for all potential opportunities for funding through CDS were as follows:

Congressman Huffman March 8, 2026
Senator Schiff March 13, 2026
Senator Padilla March 13, 2026

ITEM ANALYSIS
The City has recently secured approximately $3 million in grant funding through the Clean California Grant Program to make the front of the Cultural Center more ADA accessible and visible from Highway 101, by removing the obstructing flights of stairs, adding Gateway signage, reconstructing Front Street, and adding pathways and parking areas with landscaped islands. The existing drive-through feature will be converted into landscaping and pathways to the Tolowa Cultural Trail yet will leave behind an unfinished porte-cochere at the entrance.

The City has completed a feasibility study to upgrade the entire building, which is estimated to cost approximately $13 million. Grant funding for a full remodel is not currently in sight, however CDS offers a worthy opportunity to fund a remodel of the entrance. The proposed Crescent City Cultural Center Rehabilitation Project would consist of enclosing the porte-cochere to expand the entrance area and improve functionality and accessibility. This project is eligible under the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Rural Development Community Facilities Grant. The average grant amount awarded under this subcommittee is $1,000,000.

Due to the unusually short application timeline, City staff were unable to get Council approval before submitting three applications for CDS funding (one under each Senator and one under Congressman Huffman) for the Crescent City Cultural Center Rehabilitation Project and is now requesting approval after the fact. The application under Senator Padilla also required a Letter of Support from the governing agency where the project is located to be submitted with the application, as each application has slightly different requirements. City staff are also asking that Council approve the attached Letter of Support that was signed by the Mayor and submitted with the applications.

Community Project Funding Grant Applications
March 16, 2026
3 FISCAL ANALYSIS
The USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Grant Program requires a 25% grant match. The $3 million dollar Clean California grant will be used as the required $385,000 in matching funds for this project as they will both be improving the entrance to the Cultural Center.

These grants operate on a reimbursable basis, so the City will need to pay the project costs and then request reimbursement from the funding agency. The City is involved in several other large projects with grants awarded and new grant applications have been submitted which could lead to cash-flow problems, however, the timing of this grant award is not likely to occur for another year and a half or more when most of the City's large construction projects are expected to have been completed.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
This action is consistent with the following 2016 Strategic Plan Goals:
• Goal 1: Support quality services, community safety, and health to enhance the quality of life and experience of our residents and visitors. o Encouraging and supporting community participation in the implementation of the Beachfront Park Master Plan through avenues such as Beachfront Park Fund.
o Target economic development improvements that provide additional benefit by enhancing the quality of life for residents.
o Examine methods to maintain, enhance, and expand park and recreation facilities
• Goal 2: Promote a thriving local economy.
o Evaluate and optimize additional revenue sources.
o Support community services that provide measurable services to the community.
o Research and implement methods to increase local tourism and funding for tourism promotion.
o Expand on the success of grant funding by maximizing utilization of opportunities with corresponding community needs.

RECOMMENDATION
• Approve and adopt Resolution No. 2026-20, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY

COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CRESCENT CITY AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2025-2026 BUDGET

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The City’s Public Works Department employs two mechanics to service the City’s vehicles and equipment, including the City’s police department vehicles and the Crescent City Fire Department vehicles and equipment. There is an annual budget for materials, labor and equipment for the repair of these City assets.

By way of contract, the City also performs maintenance on the vehicles and equipment of three fire districts outside of the City Fire Department. These are the Crescent Fire Protection District, which services the unincorporated areas outside the city limits, as well as the Smith River Fire Protection District, and the Gasquet Fire Protection District.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The City budgets material and labor expenses for the maintenance service provided to these fire districts. The City also budgets for the corresponding revenue. During the Fiscal Year 2025-2026, the Gasquet Fire Protection District had an expensive repair to a highpressure turbo fuel system. The Smith River Fire Protection District had an expensive repair to a pump apparatus. These larger cost items depleted the existing fiscal year budgets. To continue to provide service to these fire districts for the balance of this fiscal year the expense budget (and matching revenue) needs to be increased. The existing FY25-26 budget is $10,500 for the purchase of materials. Staff are requesting an increase of $8,000 to complete the last four months of the fiscal year.

Budget Adjustment for Outside Service of Fire Equipment March 16, 2026
2 FISCAL ANALYSIS
Staff request an additional $8,000 to be placed in the expense budget for the equipment department to cover the costs incurred for the repair of the equipment by these outside fire districts. This expense will be off-set by a corresponding increase to the revenue budget for the billings of these repairs.

2. Single-faced or double-faced signs placed under marquees or canopies shall be limited to a maximum size of eighteen inches high and sixty inches long, and shall be not less than nine feet from the sidewalk to the bottom of the sign.

Chairman Altman opened the public hearing at 6:41 p.m.

Housing Authority Executive Director Miller reported to the Council that HUD is strongly encouraging Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to transition Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) families to the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) so that EHV families do not lose assistance and potentially face homelessness. To facilitate this transition, our Administrative Plan needs to be revised to include an EHV preference for waiting list applicants. Director Greenough asked how many were on the program to switch over; Director Miller stated there are 9. Director Tinkler asked if someone needed the EHV, is there another process; Director Miller stated that yes, they can still be on the HCV program. Director Tinkler asked if there was a homeless shelter being planned; Director Miller stated that yes, over on Williams Drive, there are plans for a shelter being done by the County.

RECOMMENDATION

o Hear staff report
o Technical questions for staff
o Receive public comment
• Close the public hearing

• Approve and adopt Resolution No. HA2026-01, A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Crescent City Housing Authority approving and authorizing execution of the FY26 PHA Annual Plan and certifying compliance of the Plan and its related regulations to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

BACKGROUND
The PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to public housing agency (PHA) policies, programs, operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. There are two parts to the PHA Plan: the 5-Year Plan, which the PHA develops once every 5th fiscal year (our last 5-Year Plan was completed in 2025) and the Annual Plan, which is prepared by the PHA every year.

The Annual Plan is designed to keep the public, the Board, and HUD updated on the PHA’s progress in meeting the goals that were established in the 5-Year Plan, and to identify changes in administrative policies, agency priorities, or new activities where they may have occurred since the time of the last Plan submission.

The Annual Plan is submitted to HUD on a streamlined template which includes specific Plan elements and information on where certain Plan elements that are not required to be reviewed by HUD can be obtained locally. The entire PHA Plan, including all required elements, is made available locally at the Crescent City Housing Authority office and on the City website.

The Plan consists of several components, including the disclosure of financial resources, policy changes, and certification of compliance. A progress statement on the goals outlined in the most recent 5-Year Plan is also included.

B.1
Statement of Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs Housing Needs
Based on information provided by the applicable Consolidated Plan, information provided by HUD, and other generally available data, make a reasonable effort to identify the housing needs of the low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families who reside in the jurisdiction served by the PHA, including elderly families, families with disabilities, and households of various races and ethnic groups, and other families who are on the public housing and Section 8 tenantbased assistance waiting lists.

The HCV Waiting List
As of January 7, 2026, the City of Crescent City Housing Authority has 536 applicants on its HCV waiting list, 51% of which are Del Norte County residents (271). Applicant household demographics reflect the following:
• Families with disabilities: 216 (40%)
• Elderly Families: 161 (30%)
• Families with children: 162 (30%)
The racial breakdown of applicants is as follows:
• White: 433 (81%)
• Black: 54 (10%)
• Native: 27 (5%)
• Asian: 21 (4%)
• Pacific Islander: 1 (>1%)
61 (11%) of applicants identified as Hispanic/Latino.

Our waiting list has continually remained open, and we typically receive approximately 35 new applications per month, demonstrating the ongoing and active need for affordable housing in our community.

Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs
Provide a brief description of the PHA’s strategy for addressing the housing needs of families in the jurisdiction and on the waiting list in the upcoming year.

The City of Crescent City Housing Authority will utilize the following strategies and resources to address the housing needs of our community:
o Maximize lease-up rates and monitor per unit cost trends to serve the maximum number of individuals and families
o Promote opportunities for applicants in Project Based Voucher developments, including outreach for PBV waiting lists
o Apply for special purpose vouchers when opportunities are available o Partner with developers to bring new affordable housing projects to our community through the commitment of PBV’s
o Promote and maintain a positive image of the Housing Choice Voucher program in our community to encourage landlord participation
o Develop and maintain strong partnerships with other agencies that offer supportive services to low-income families
o Provide a current listing of available rentals within our community, accessible in our office and online at our website
o Provide a directory of local resources and services available to low-income families and individuals in our community
o Provide maps of the local community to assist families in locating available rental units o Provide literature and publications which assist members of the public in understanding the rights and responsibilities of both tenants and landlords Revision of PHA Plan Elements
Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions The selection policies in our Administrative Plan were revised to include a preference for families at risk of losing housing assistance due to a lack of program funding. This preference was implemented in response to the unexpected ending of the Emergency Housing Voucher program in CY26.

Deconcentration Policy
“It is CCHA’s goal to select sites for PBV housing that provide for deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities. In complying with this goal, the CCHA will limit approval of sites for PBV housing in census tracts that have poverty concentrations of 20 percent or less.

However, the CCHA will grant exceptions to the 20 percent standard where the CCHA determines that the PBV assistance will complement other local redevelopment activities designed to deconcentrate poverty and expand housing and economic opportunities in census tracts with poverty concentrations greater than 20 percent, such as sites in:

A census tract in which the proposed PBV development will be located in a HUD-designated Enterprise Zone, Economic Community, or Renewal Community; A census tract where the concentration of assisted units will be or has decreased as a result of public housing demolition and HOPE VI redevelopment;
A census tract in which the proposed PBV development will be located is undergoing significant revitalization as a result of state, local, or federal dollars invested in the area; A census tract where new market rate units are being developed where such market rate units will positively impact the poverty rate in the area;
A census tract where there has been an overall decline in the poverty rate within the past five years; or a census tract where there are meaningful opportunities for educational and economic advancement.”

Acting on behalf of the Board of Commissioners of the Public Housing Agency (PHA) listed below, as its Chairperson or other authorized PHA official if there is no Board of Commissioners, I approve the submission of the___ 5-Year and/or___ Annual PHA Plan, hereinafter referred to as “the Plan,” of which this document is a part, and make the following certification and agreements with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the PHA fiscal year beginning ________, in which the PHA receives assistance under 42 U.S.C. 1437f and/or 1437g in connection with the submission of the Plan and implementation thereof:

1. The Plan is consistent with the applicable comprehensive housing affordability strategy (or any plan incorporating such strategy) for the jurisdiction in which the PHA is located (24 CFR § 91.2).

2. The Plan contains a signed certification by the appropriate State or local official (form HUD-50077-SL) that the Plan is consistent with the applicable Consolidated Plan, which includes any applicable fair housing goals or strategies, for the PHA's jurisdiction and a description of the way the PHA Plan is consistent with the applicable Consolidated Plan (24 CFR §§ 91.2, 91.225, 91.325, and 91.425).

3. The PHA has established a Resident Advisory Board or Boards, the membership of which represents the residents assisted by the PHA, consulted with this Resident Advisory Board or Boards in developing the Plan, including any changes or revisions to the policies and programs identified in the Plan before they were implemented, and considered the recommendations of the Resident Advisory Board (24 CFR 903.13). The PHA has included in the Plan submission a copy of the recommendations made by the Resident Advisory Board or Boards and a description of the way the Plan addresses these recommendations.

4. The PHA provides assurance as part of this certification that:
i. The Resident Advisory Board had an opportunity to review and comment on the changes to the policies and programs before implementation by the PHA;
ii. The changes were duly approved by the PHA Board of Directors (or similar governing body); and iii. The revised policies and programs are available for review and inspection, at the principal office of the PHA during normal business hours. Where possible, PHAs should make documents available electronically, for public inspection upon request.

5. The PHA made the proposed Plan and all information relevant to the public hearing available for public inspection at least 45 days before the hearing, published a notice that a hearing would be held and conducted a hearing to discuss the Plan and invited public comment. The PHA ensured all notices and meetings provided effective communication with persons with disabilities and further provided meaningful language access for persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).

6. The PHA certifies that it will carry out the public housing program of the agency in conformity with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-2000d—4), the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), the Violence Against Women Act (34 U.S.C. § 12291 et seq.), and other applicable civil rights requirements, and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the administration of all HUD programs. In addition, if it administers a Housing Choice Voucher Program, the PHA certifies that it will administer the program in conformity with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and other applicable civil rights requirements, and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the administration of all HUD programs.

7. The PHA will affirmatively further fair housing, in compliance with the Fair Housing Act, 24 CFR § 5.150 et seq., 24 CFR § 903.7(o), and 24 CFR § 903.15, which means that it will take meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Previous version is obsolete Page 2 of 3 form HUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP (09/30/2027) fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws (24 CFR § 5.151). Pursuant to 24 CFR § 903.15(c)(2), a PHA's policies should be designed to reduce the concentration of tenants and other assisted persons by race, national origin, and disability. PHA policies should include affirmative steps stated in 24 CFR § 903.15(c)(2)(i) and 24 CFR § 903.15(c)(2)(ii). Furthermore, under 24 CFR § 903.7(o), a PHA must submit a civil rights certification with its Annual and 5-year PHA Plans, except for qualified PHAs who submit the Form HUD50077-CR as a standalone document. The PHA certifies that it will take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to affirmatively further fair housing.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: WATER RATE STUDY
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve the 2026 Water Rate Study prepared by Rural Community Assistance Corporation (RCAC)
• Direct staff regarding water rates to be brought back in ordinance form for Council consideration

BACKGROUND
The City provides water service to Crescent City and the surrounding area, serving approximately 16,000 people. The water system is recorded in an enterprise fund, ensuring that water system revenues and expenses are kept separate from other City services. An enterprise fund is intended to collect sufficient revenues from the users of its service to fund the full cost of providing the service.

The City has worked with RCAC to examine the current rate structure, revenues, and expenses of the water fund projected over the next five years. RCAC has completed the attached report with recommendations for rate adjustments to ensure the fiscal health and sustainability of the water fund.

ITEM ANALYSIS
The current water rates were set in an ordinance adopted by the City Council on December 16, 2013. Ordinance No. 777 set the water rates to be adjusted in January 2014 and each July from 2014 through 2017. The rates have not been adjusted since July 2017 (Fiscal Year 2017-18).
2026 WATER RATE STUDY
March 16, 2026
2 The State Water Resources Control Board provided funding for RCAC to complete a water rate study for the City, which is presented tonight for Council approval. The study uses information provided by City staff to analyze and project the next five years of revenues and expenses and to recommend a new rate structure that is equitable and provides sufficient revenue to fully fund the cost of services. The information provided included prior financial reports, the 2013 water rate study, customer billing data, current year budgets, and planned capital improvement projects.

City staff have discussed a projected shortfall in the water fund at multiple public meetings over the last several years. Although the working capital in the water fund is sufficient for current needs, projected expenses over the next five years (including inflation, major maintenance, capital improvements, and recommended reserves) will outpace revenues at the current rates. As that happens, the working capital balance would decrease to an unsustainable level. The five-year projection in the attached study shows a loss of approximately $8.4 million if the projected expenses and capital improvements are completed but revenues are not increased to match.

In order to keep the water fund sustainable and to continue to provide safe drinking water, maintain essential infrastructure, and comply with federal, state, and local requirements, the study recommends changes to the rate structure.

The rate-setting process involves four steps:

1. Revenue requirement – calculate the total amount of revenue needed to fully fund the water system for the five-year period (including operating costs, maintenance, capital improvements, debt service, and reserves)

2. Cost of service analysis – evaluate the costs associated with providing the water service, including fixed costs (these costs do not change depending on the amount of water provided) and variable costs (costs that do change depending on the amount of water provided)

3. Rate design – determine how to structure the rates based on the cost-of-service analysis, considering customer classes (residential, commercial, etc.), water usage, and equity

4. Proposition 218 process – constitutional requirements for property-related charges such as water rates, including how rates are designed, noticing requirements, and the opportunity for public participation
Revenue requirements were calculated based on the current adopted budget (FY 2025- 26) forecasted forward for the next five years (FY 2026-27 through FY 2030-31). The projected expenses include an assumed rate of inflation (4% for most items, adjusted for specific line items such as insurance and electricity costs based on recent City experience), the five-year capital improvement plan, and recommended reserves (at least 90 days of operating expenses, an emergency reserve, and a capital replacement reserve). The City does not currently have any outstanding loans in the water fund, but the five-year capital improvement plan anticipates debt funding for projects beginning in FY 2027-28 (Amador tank rehabilitation, Washington tank rehabilitation, and elevated 2026 WATER RATE STUDY
March 16, 2026
3 tank removal). The revenue requirement includes the anticipated debt service for these projects.

The cost-of-service analysis allocates these costs as fixed or variable, in order to properly set rates for various customer classes and water usage.

The recommended rate design is different from the current rate structure in several ways.

The changes are all for the purpose of complying with Proposition 218, which requires the rates to be based on the cost of providing service to the different customer classes.

One important change is the current rate structure includes 500 cubic feet of water in the base monthly charge. This means a customer who uses 500 cubic feet of water is currently charged the minimum monthly bill, but a customer who uses 100 cubic feet of water is charged the same minimum monthly bill. Under Proposition 218 case law, this is not equitable. Therefore, the proposed rates remove the 500 cubic feet from the base monthly rate; the recommended rates are a flat monthly fee for each customer class based on the fixed costs associated with providing access to the water system for that class, and then all water usage would be billed at the variable rate for the costs associated with providing water to that customer class.

Other changes include the allocation of costs to customer classes using standardized meter capacity ratios from the American Water Works Association’s Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, and changes to the rates for fire service based on the Maine Water Utilities Association Committee on Fire Protection.

The recommended rates developed by the study are summarized below:
2026 WATER RATE STUDY
March 16, 2026
4 Even with the recommended rate increase, Crescent City’s water rates would remain lower than other water systems in our region.

NEXT STEPS
Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached water rate study and provide direction to bring a water rate ordinance back for Council consideration. Once the ordinance is introduced, the Prop 218 process will begin. A formal notice will be mailed to every affected property owner and ratepayer explaining the proposed rates and their opportunity to protest the rate increase. Each parcel is able to submit one valid protest (this can be submitted by either the property owner or the ratepayer).

The Council will also set a public hearing date, which must be at least 45 days after the notice period begins. At the public hearing, property owners and ratepayers will have the opportunity to address the City Council regarding the proposed rates. The public hearing will also officially close the protest period. The protests received will be validated and counted. If valid protests from 50% + 1 of the total number of eligible parcels are received, the rate increase is not allowed to proceed. If fewer than 50% + 1 valid protests are received, the Council may adopt the ordinance and implement the new rate structure.

If the recommended rates are adopted, they would be effective July 1, 2026. Since water service is billed in arrears (the month after the water is used), most customers would see the first increase on their bill in August 2026.
2026 WATER RATE STUDY
March 16, 2026
5 FISCAL ANALYSIS
The rate study project was 100% funded by the State Water Resources Control Board.

Approval of the final report does not have a direct fiscal impact.

If the Council directs staff to develop an ordinance to implement rate changes, there will be costs associated with the Prop 218 process to mail notices to all affected property owners and ratepayers. If new rates are adopted, the increased revenues will be reflected in the water fund and help ensure the long-term sustainability of the fund.

STRATEGIC PLAN ASSESSMENT
This report addresses the following strategic plan goals:
• 1(D): Provide and maintain an efficient, adequate infrastructure to provide for both current and future community needs
• 3(B): Maintain responsible fiscal management and accountability

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 2 Executive Summary
RCAC conducted this water rate study on behalf of City of Crescent City (City) to establish rates that allow the City to operate and maintain the water system for the next five years and collect the necessary reserves for emergencies and capital improvements. RCAC analyzed data for fiscal year ending 2024 (FYE 2024), FYE 2025 and budgeted data for FYE 2026 to set rates for FYE 2027 through FYE 2031.

The City’s current water rates were established on Dec. 16, 2013, through the adoption of Ordinance Number 777. The ordinance set annual rate increases through FYE 2018. The industry standard is to conduct a water rate study every five years to ensure revenues are covering expenses and costs are being applied to customer classes in a fair and equitable manner. This is essential for public entity water systems, which must ensure rate structures are consistent with current Proposition 218 case law. Proposition 218 has specific legal guidance on what is considered fair and equitable ways to distribute costs among customers.

The City requested a water rate analysis for the following reasons:
• To ensure full cost recovery, including operational costs, capital projects, debt, and other expenditure requirements.
• Evaluate the rate structure to ensure compliance with current Proposition 218 requirements and case law.

During the rate study analysis, RCAC determined that, for the test year ending FYE 2026, the City’s projected operational revenue is expected to fall short of the level required to fully support the adopted budget. As a result, the City may need to implement cost reductions during the fiscal year to align expenditures with available funding. The City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is supported by anticipated grant funding, but additional rate revenues are necessary to fully implement the program, and project timelines may be adjusted if grant funding does not materialize. Over the FYE 2027 through FYE 2031 period, the City must increase annual water rate revenues by approximately 16.8% to restore financial sustainability and fully fund operating, capital, and reserve requirements. This revenue adjustment can be achieved through a variety of rate structure strategies. Carefully evaluating these structural options allows the City to meet its revenue target while aligning rates with Proposition 218 cost-of-service principles, financial goals, equity considerations, and long-term system sustainability.

RCAC and City staff explored several rate options that produce rates that are affordable and fair to its customers while also allowing the City to operate and maintain the water system in a way that ensure customers are provided with continuous, safe drinking water. The proposed rate option collects for the true cost of service which includes fully funding the operational and maintenance needs of the City and the planned 5-year CIP. Alternative options were evaluated, including applying a uniform annual percentage increase, phasing in rate adjustments over the five-year study period, and reducing the Capital Improvement Program. However, these City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 3 approaches generally resulted in higher rates by FY 2031 compared to the proposed option and/or delayed the City’s ability to leverage available grant funding.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 5 Introduction
About RCAC
Founded in 1978, RCAC provides training, technical, and financial resources, and advocacy so rural communities can achieve their goals. Since 1978, our dedicated staff and active board, coupled with our key values: leadership, collaboration, commitment, quality, and integrity, have helped effect positive change in rural communities across the West.

RCAC’s work includes environmental infrastructure (water, wastewater, and solid waste facilities); affordable housing development; economic and leadership development; and community development finance. These services are available to communities with populations of fewer than 50,000, other nonprofit groups, tribal organizations, farm workers, colonias and other specific populations. Headquartered in West Sacramento, California, RCAC’s employees serve rural communities in 13 western states and the Pacific islands.

This rate study was funded by Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) Program, for which RCAC is a Technical Assistance Provider. This rate study was performed under the capacity development program at RCAC (SAFERTRAIN). This study was provided at no cost to the City due to their distinction as a disadvantaged community.

Purpose of a Rate Study
An accurate and useful rate analysis not only identifies the total annual revenue required by a utility to conduct its normal day-to-day operations, but it also anticipates and plans for future operating and capital needs. Furthermore, the analysis attempts to determine whether the projected revenue under existing rates will satisfy those needs. The primary objective of this process is to ensure that the utility can obtain sufficient funds to develop, construct, operate, maintain, and manage its water system on a continuing basis, in full compliance with federal, state, and local requirements.

Governing Body Responsibilities
Governing body responsibilities for the water system include maintaining sufficient revenue and reserves to provide for ongoing maintenance for the foreseeable future. The ultimate responsibility of the governing body is to ensure preserved public health and compliance with environmental regulations.

All findings and conclusions of this rate study are RCAC’s professional assessment and are not a directive for action to the community. Whereas RCAC strongly recommends its finding to the community, the governing body must act in accordance with the water system’s governing documents as well as state and federal laws to enact RCAC recommendations in whole or in part.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 6 Disclaimer
The findings, recommendations and conclusions contained in this rate analysis are based on financial information provided to RCAC by the water system. Although reasonable care was taken to ensure the reliability of this information, no warranty is expressed or implied as to the correctness, accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein. Any action taken on the basis of such findings, recommendations or conclusions is undertaken at the discretion of the water system. In no event will RCAC or its partners, employees or agents be liable for any decision made or action taken in reliance on the information contained in this analysis.

Guiding Principles in a Rate Study
Rates should be:
• Sustainable - Rates should cover the costs of the system to provide safe drinking water into the foreseeable future. This includes operations, repairs, interest, loan principal, capital replacement, and all other costs related to providing safe drinking water. • Fair - Rates should be fair to all rate payers. While the costs should not exceed the costs of providing the service, they do need to capture the true costs of service. Low rates for current customers will require high rates for future customers. • Justifiable - Rates must be based on actual needs of the water enterprise system. The water enterprise system expenses and revenue should be tracked separately from other funds.
• Water conservation - Water conservation is a key element of rate studies. Clean and safe water is limited, and inappropriate use of this resource negatively impacts community members.
• State or funder specific requirements – Some water systems may have state or funder requirements to maintain certain financial indicators and reserve levels. Regardless of any requirements, the governing body is obligated by its responsibilities to provide for sufficient reserves and long-term sustainability.

Rate Setting Process
A water rate study typically consists of three to four main components:
• Revenue Requirement – This component calculates the total revenue needed to cover the utility’s operating costs and debt obligations.
• Cost of Service Analysis – This component evaluates the cost allocations associated with providing water services, including fixed and variable costs. It ensures that rates are aligned with the actual way a water system incurs costs when providing water service. • Rate Design and Rate Setting – This step involves determining how to structure the rates based on the cost-of-service analysis. It considers factors like customer classes City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 7 (residential, commercial, etc.), water usage patterns, and equity, aiming to create a fair and sustainable rate system. Based on this, the appropriate rates are set to ensure financial stability and regulatory compliance.
• Proposition 218 Process (applicable for public entities in California) – This process ensures transparency and public participation in the decision-making surrounding water rate changes.

Together, these components help ensure that a water system can provide reliable service through fair and equitable rates while maintaining financial sustainability.

RCAC uses a cash-needs approach to develop revenue requirements to ensure there is sufficient revenue to recover total cash requirements for the 5-year time period of this rate study. This approach uses a format very similar to how many water systems develop an annual budget. While there are several methods to allocate costs, since RCAC mainly works with small, disadvantaged water systems, it is typical for RCAC to use a fixed vs variable cost allocation. The revenue requirement approach and cost allocation methodology used in this rate study can be found in the Rate Design and Options Section under Key Assumptions.

Water System Basic Statistics
Community
The City of Crescent City is in Del Norte County on the Northern Coast of California about 20 miles south of the Oregon border. The City has a population of about 6,000 and its water service boundary serves approximately 16,000 people.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 8 The incorporated city is overseen by a five-member city council, where council members are elected to four-year terms. The City is managed by a city manager that oversees approximately 85 employees. The city’s economy is driven by governmental activities, fishing, agriculture, tourism, and timber. However, the long-term outlook for the fishing and timber industries are uncertain.

Pelican Bay State Prison is the largest water user in the system and has a contract with the City for water service. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation February 2026 Monthly Report of Population, the prison has the capacity to house 1,804 inmates and employs 2,429 people. It is estimated that there are approximately 1,706 inmates in the prison.

The median household income in the City is $35,340 according to the 2024 American Community Survey. The MHI is less than 60% of the current statewide MHI, making Crescent City a severely disadvantaged community.

System Description
The City is a public water system classified as a Community Water System and operates as public entity.

The water system pulls water from the Smith River through a Ranney well, which has the capability of pumping 5.9 million gallons per day (2.181 billion gallons per year). The average daily usage is 1.531 MGD. Water is chlorinated at a treatment facility off Kings Valley Road and City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 9 conveyed to its customers in over 100 miles of pipeline, ranging from small service lines up to 24” water mains. The distribution system also includes three tanks (50,000-gallon elevated storage tank, four-million-gallon Washington Tank, and 1.5-million-gallon Amador tank) and three booster stations.

The City maintains a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that includes an ongoing annual budget for the replacement of water mains, equipment, and vehicles to support long-term system reliability. In recent years, the City has advanced several key infrastructure initiatives, including groundwater well and pump improvements, SCADA upgrades, implementation of automated meter reading (AMR), tank rehabilitation and upgrades, and system-wide surge protection enhancements.

Over the next five years, the City plans to continue proactive system maintenance through the regular replacement of water mains, equipment, and vehicles, while completing the automated meter reading project, advancing tank rehabilitation efforts, and investing in critical resiliency improvements such as a backup generator and redundant pipeline segments in key areas of the distribution system.

Current Water Rate Structure
The last rate study for the City occurred in 2013. The rates were adopted via Ordinance Number 777 on December 16, 2013, setting rates through FYE 2018. The current rate structure for the water system is a monthly base rate that varies by meter size and includes a 500 cubic foot allotment per month and a flat usage rate per 100 cubic feet after the allotment has been met.

There is also a special contract with the Prison, which has its own State water permit, and separate fire charges for services that are only meant for fire protection.

The affordability of these rates for the average residential customer is 0.76 percent, as a measure of the percentage of the average residential customer’s annual income that goes toward paying the average annual residential water bill in the water system.

Customer Water Use Statistics
Water demand varies by month, meter size, and customer class. The City typically experiences higher water usage during the late summer months, which can significantly influence revenue trends. As a result, revenues may appear stronger in the early months of the fiscal year and taper off as seasonal demand declines.

The City should also closely monitor water usage at the Prison, as this large customer accounts for approximately 15–25% of total system demand. Variations in usage from this single customer can materially impact overall water sales and revenue stability.

A summary of customer water usage data can be found in Exhibit B.

Future Population and Usage Projections
The United States Census shows a growth rate in the area as -7.0 percent per year, from April 2020 through July 2024. The City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan estimated population growth to range from -0.49 to -0.54 percent per year. Looking at recent water usage data, the City has been seeing an approximate annual decline of 1.5% in water usage, a smaller adjustment of –0.05% was applied in the model to avoid overestimating revenue impacts.

Financial Condition and Analysis
Current Financial Policies
The financial policies of a public water system play a crucial role in ensuring the system's sustainability and effectiveness. These policies provide a framework for budgeting, revenue generation, expenditure control, debt management, and financial reporting. They help maintain financial stability, promote transparency, and ensure that the water system can meet current and future needs. By adhering to these policies, a public water system can effectively manage its resources, maintain the trust of its stakeholders, and continue to provide reliable and high-quality services to the community.

RCAC did not conduct a policy review as part of this rate study. Agreements between the City and community services districts and the prison were reviewed to understand how they may affect the rate study.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 11 Current Financial Indicators
Water Fund Balance
The estimated working capital balance in the water fund at the end of the test FYE 2026 is $2,872,145. The current working capital balance is slightly above the minimum target of $2,251,694, which is intended to cover three key reserves: 90 days of O&M costs, a replacement Ranney well pump for emergencies, and the average annual revenue needed to support the CIP.

While maintaining a balance modestly above this minimum provides a buffer for unexpected expenses, the City’s current CIP assumptions rely heavily on grants. If grant funding does not materialize as expected, maintaining a reserve above the minimum may be particularly prudent.

Conversely, if near-term projects are well-funded through grants, the City could consider capping the reserve closer to the minimum, while still preserving sufficient contingency for operational and capital risks.

Operating Cash Flow
The operating cash flow for the City has shown a downward projection over recent fiscal years.

Although the actual working capital has shown some increases, this was due to not fully implementing the needed capital improvement plans. As those improvements are constructed, the projected working capital is projected to decrease. In the test year of FYE 2026, operational revenue is estimated to be below the level needed to fully support the adopted budget, requiring the City to implement cost reductions during the fiscal year to align expenditures with available funding. Additionally, the water system is not fully funding its CIP which causes needed infrastructure projects to be delayed.

Revenue Requirement
A revenue requirement for a water system refers to the total amount of money a utility must collect from its customers to cover all its costs. This includes operating expenses, taxes, debt payments, and costs to replace capital assets.

Current Budget
The objective of a budget is to ensure that the utility generates adequate revenue to cover the anticipated costs as they occur. The basic components of the budget include combined cash balances, operating and non-operating revenue, operation and maintenance expense, debt service (principal and interest payments) on borrowed funds, capital costs, reserves, and other cash payments (such as payments in lieu of taxes). Because debt covenants may impact the cash needs of the utility, it is also important to examine these restrictions as well.

A water system should develop and adopt an annual budget every fiscal year prior to the start of the fiscal year. The City was able to provide actuals for FYE 2024 and FYE 2025 and an adopted budget for FYE 2026.

Over the past several years revenues have covered expenses, but the City often finds ways to reduce costs throughout the year to ensure a balanced budget. Additionally, the water system City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 12 delays CIP projects if funding is not available. Underfunding operational budgets and reserves is not considered a financially sustainable method for managing a water system.

In 2026, the current revenue is not expected to cover current operational expenses. Costs have been increasing mainly due to inflation. The actuals and current budget can be seen as part of the rate study budget projections in Exhibit D.

Current Dedicated Reserves
Reserves are an accepted way to stabilize and support a utility’s fiscal management. Small systems usually fund the operating expenses but often do not consider putting money aside for a specific upcoming financial need or project, or for an amount that can be used to provide rate stabilization in years when revenues are unusually low, or expenditures are unusually high. The rationale for maintaining adequate reserve levels is twofold. First, it helps to ensure that the utility will have adequate funds available to meet its financial obligations in times of varying needs.

Second, it provides a framework around which financial decisions can be made to determine when reserve balances are inadequate or excessive and what specific actions need to be taken to remedy the situation.

Utility reserve levels can be thought of as a savings account. Reserve balances are funds that are set aside for a specific cash flow requirement, financial need, project, task, or legal covenant.

Common reserve balances are established around the following four areas: operating reserve, capital improvements and replacement, emergency, and debt service reserve. These balances are maintained to meet short-term cash flow requirements, and at the same time, minimize the risk associated with meeting financial obligations and continued operational needs under adverse conditions.

The annual reserve goals can be seen in the general & administrative expenses in Exhibit D.

Operating Reserve
Operating reserves are established to provide the utility with the ability to withstand short-term cash flow fluctuations. There can be a significant length of time between when a system provides a service and when a customer pays for that service. In addition, a system’s cash flow can be affected by weather and seasonal demand patterns.

The State of California Water Resources Control Board conducted a needs assessment in 2024.

The results of their findings are outlined in the table below.

State Water Resources Control Board Needs Assessment:

Cash on Hand Valuation
No Risk Medium Risk High Risk
>90 Days 30 – 90 Days < 30 Days
Because of potential delays in collecting payment, many utilities attempt to keep an amount of cash equal to at least 90 days or 25 percent of their annual cash O&M expenses in an operating City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 13 reserve to mitigate potential cash flow problems. In discussions with the water system, it was determined the goal would be 90 days cash on hand, this figure was incorporated in the water fund minimum balance.

Emergency Reserve
Emergency reserves are intended to help utilities deal with short-term emergencies which arise from time to time, such as main breaks or pump failures. The appropriate amount of emergency reserves will vary with the size of the utilities and should depend on major infrastructure assets.

An emergency reserve is intended to fund the immediate replacement or reconstruction of the system’s single most critical asset, an asset whose failure will result in an immediate water outage or threat to public safety. In discussions with the water system, it was determined that a Ranney well pump was the critical asset. This required $332,146 in the test year and was based off costs seen in the 2021 Ranney Pump Replacement project. This money was incorporated into the water fund minimum balance.

Capital Replacement Reserve
A capital replacement reserve (also called a repair and replacement reserve) is intended to be used for replacing system assets that have become worn out or obsolete. Unlike the emergency reserve fund, these reserves are intended to be used for planned replacements and improvements. Annual depreciation is frequently used to estimate the minimum level of funding for this capital reserve. But it is important to understand that depreciation expense is an accounting concept for estimating the decline of an asset’s useful life and does not represent the current or future replacement cost of that asset.

To initiate a capital improvement plan, a small water or sewer system will start with a list of assets that includes the remaining service life, theoretical replacement costs in today’s dollars and the remaining service life. It then calculates the monthly and annual reserve that must be collected from each customer to fully capitalize the replacement cost of each asset. In reality, the assets will fail and be replaced gradually, but the replacement cost of water system assets is often a shock to small systems that are struggling to keep rates reasonable.

RCAC did not conduct a capital replacement analysis and relied on the CIP information provided by City staff. The CIP averages $3.346 million in projects per year and is reliant on grants and loans. The average amount of revenue needed in water sales to fund the CIP is $1.127 million. It was decided that having the average annual revenue needed to support the CIP was appropriate for a reserve and added to the water fund minimum balance. A system that relies on grants and loans for their CIP should be aware that:
• Loans – Obtaining loans will come with debt service payments and debt reserve requirements that may increase the expenses in future years • Grants - During this current economic climate, it is not advised to assume grants in the budgeting process
Debt Payments and Reserve
Water utilities that have issued debt to pay for capital assets will often have required reserves that are specifically defined to meet the legal covenants of the debt. Normally, debt service reserve City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 14 represents an amount equal to at least one full annual loan payment and can be accumulated to this level over a period of 5 to 10 years.

The City has no current debt service payments but is expected to take loans out to fund CIP projects of the 5-year rate study period of FYE 2027 – FYE 2031.

Analysis and Recommendations for Financial Condition
The City demonstrates strong budget and CIP management. It is recommended that the City assess the total valuation of its water system and determine the annual funding needed to replace assets at the end of their useful life. This estimate should then be compared to the planned CIP to ensure that sufficient projects are being completed to maintain a sustainable system capable of providing reliably safe drinking water.

The CIP management strategy includes grants and loans. It is recommended the City remember that applying for grants or loans will take staff time and financial resources. Additionally, • Loans – Obtaining loans will come with debt service payments and debt reserve requirements that may increase the expenses in future years • Grants - During this current economic climate, it is not advised to assume grants in the budgeting process
A rate increase is recommended to ensure that the City can cover all their costs, including funding reserves. Over the FYE 2027 through FYE 2031 period, the City must increase annual water rate revenues by approximately 16.8% to restore financial sustainability and fully fund operating, capital, and reserve requirements. This revenue adjustment can be achieved through a variety of rate structure strategies. Carefully evaluating these structural options allows the City to meet its revenue target while aligning rates with Proposition 218 cost-of-service principles, financial goals, equity considerations, and long-term system sustainability.

Cost of Service and Rate Design
Fixed and Variable Costs
Water must be available to customers at all times whether the customer is using the water or not.

A large share of water system costs are associated with bringing the first drop of water to the customer’s tap, regardless of whether any water is used. Other costs occur as water gets used by customers. Fixed costs are those that must be recovered by a water system to ensure that drinking water is available to its customers, while variable costs are more directly related to how much water is being pumped, treated, stored, and distributed. The identification of costs as fixed costs, varied costs, or some percentage of both is a determination that each utility must make for itself. It is done by reviewing the budget and each line item closely. The allocation for the City is in Exhibit F.

Fixed costs are typically collected through a base rate, which is a fixed monthly charge. Variable costs are typically collected through a usage rate, which is a dollar amount per unit of water used by the customer.

Base Rate and Usage Rates
Base Rates
Fixed costs are typically collected through a base rate. These base rates can be calculated using several different methods including:
• Flat base rate – all customers pay the same amount regardless of service connection size. • American Water Works Association Meter Ratios - standard meter ratios that are used to estimate the equivalent cost of service based on the capacity of a water meter.

Variable expenses are typically collected through the usage rate. These usage rates can be calculated using several different methods including:
• Uniform usage rate - customers are charged a single, constant rate for each unit of service. • Tiered usage rate / Based Rate Allocation - the cost per unit of service changes as a customer’s consumption exceeds certain thresholds or "tiers." Variations of tiered rates include increasing block rate and decreasing block rate. Tiered usage rates and base rate allocations are not recommended for public entity water systems due to current Proposition 218 case law.

Assumptions
In a rate study, assumptions are critical because they help frame the calculations and projections that determine pricing or rates. Assumption details used in this rate study can be seen in Exhibits C-F and include:

Financial Assumptions
• Future Inflation Rates – Allows the future cost of asset replacement to be calculated as well as helps to project the budget forward.
• Future Loan Rates and Fees – Important for calculating the debt service payment that will be required if a water system chooses to fund assets in need of replacement over the next 5 years through loan.
• Existing Debt – Annual payment and reserve requirements for current debt.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 17 • Existing Reserves – The water fund balance which can be made up of cash, investments, and other liquid assets. Typically, operating reserves are in a checking account and capital reserves are in an interest-bearing savings account.
• Reserve Targets – Established dollar amounts to maintain in operating, emergency, debt, and capital reserves along with the number of years to build to this amount. • Median Household Income – Average income for residential customers, this can come from several sources such as the SAFER Dashboard or U.S. Census. • Budget to Actual – Identifies the difference between planned and actual figures to help businesses monitor performance, control spending, and adjust forecasts for better financial management.

Usage and Billing Assumptions
• Community Growth Factor – Growth factor to account for an increasing or decreasing population in the area. This data can come from the U.S. Census, the water system’s master plan, or other sources. This factor can also account for any conservation factor if there is an expected reduction in water use seen after a rate increase. A study by the Department of Interior in California states price elasticity of water is -0.1%. RCAC also sometimes uses from -1.0% up to -5.0% from experience with working rural, disadvantage communities. This factor can also include any water system specific concerns for reduction in water use.

Capital Improvement Plan Assumptions
• Default Funding Assumptions - The City’s 5-year capital improvement plan was used.

The City determined the projects and likely funding sources used in this study.

Customized Assumptions
• Budget projections – While future inflation is a tool used to project many budget line items forward. A detailed review of each budget was completed and line items that needed further adjustments were changed based on the City’s experience with these costs.

Inflation Assumptions
Standard Inflation 4%
Other Benefits -4125- 10%
Energy -4210- 6.32%
ISF Allocation - IT -4823- 4.00%
ISF Allocation - Bldg Maint - 4824- 4.00%
ISF Allocation - Insurance -4826- 18.30%
Workers Comp -4123- 11.70%
• Cost Allocation – RCAC uses the identification of fixed and variable costs to allocate costs to base rates and usage rates. The identification of fixed and variable costs is best City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 18 left with the water system to identify. RCAC does advise that any debt service be considered a fixed cost and that many of the pumping and chemical costs be assigned to variable. The following are the cost allocation assumptions used:
o Water Department expenses were assumed to be 60% fixed, 40% variable based on the peak demand vs. the average demand. The exception was to electrical and chemical costs which were assumed to be 100% variable.
o Other Department costs that are needed to support the water department were assumed to be 100% fixed.

Rate Options and Recommendation
This rate study has analyzed various pricing structures for the water utility, taking into account the financial needs of the system, equitable distribution of costs among customers, and the promotion of water conservation. After careful evaluation, the top recommended rate option is being included in this report for the governing body’s approval. City staff determined these rates to be the most fair, sustainable, and financially viable approach for the community. Details on the proposed rate option can be found below; rate tables and results can be seen in Exhibit G.

Alternative options were evaluated, including applying a uniform annual percentage increase, phasing in rate adjustments over the five-year study period, and reducing the Capital Improvement Program. However, these approaches generally resulted in higher rates by FY 2031 compared to the proposed option and/or delayed the City’s ability to leverage available grant funding.

When considering a rate option, it is crucial for the governing body to consider not only the immediate financial implications but also the long-term sustainability and fairness of each approach. The following recommendation aims to guide the selection process and ensure that the chosen rate structure supports the community’s needs while promoting fiscal responsibility and transparency.

RCAC values affordability when drafting rate options for small water systems. However, governing body responsibilities for the water system include maintaining sufficient revenue and reserves to provide for ongoing maintenance for the foreseeable future. The ultimate responsibility of the governing body is to ensure preserved public health and compliance with environmental regulations.

Proposed Rates
The proposed rate option collects for the true cost of service which includes fully funding the operational and maintenance needs of the City and the planned 5-year CIP. These rates were determined to best balance the need for affordable and fair rates for customers while also allowing City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 19 the City to operate and maintain the water system in a way that ensures customers are provided with continuous, safe drinking water.

Proposed Rates Current
Rates 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031
3/4" Meter $22.49 $34.90 $36.60 $38.47 $40.52 $42.79
1" Meter $31.66 $58.16 $61.00 $64.12 $67.54 $71.31

General Implementation Advice
Key points to remember with this rate adjustment are:
• Every year revenues versus expenditures should be reviewed to ensure that the rates cover all costs to the system.
• Rates should be reviewed every 5 years or whenever the water system is at risk of expenditures exceeding revenues.
• Successful utilities are those that strive to be transparent. In day-to-day operations, the City should strive to promote its services (highlights and the low points) and continuously educate residents about why it is necessary to raise and adjust rates. • If possible, CIP reserves should be moved to and maintained in the highest interestbearing accounts available to offset inflation unless the cost of doing so is more than the interest earned on the account.

City of Crescent City Water Rate Study Draft Final Report: Prepared by RCAC – Feb 2026 20 Proposition 218 Overview
When the governing body selects a rate option, this triggers the Proposition 218 process.

Proposition 218 is a voter-approved initiative in California that restricts the authority of government agencies to charge certain taxes or fees. This proposition regulates property-related fees and charges that are imposed on a parcel. Following a California Supreme Court decision, water and sewer rates are now also subject to Proposition 218. Therefore, the water system needs to follow Proposition 218 guidelines and related activities to legally pass new rates, which include sending out a public notice and holding a public hearing.

To be in compliance with Proposition 218, the public notice needs to contain certain information.

This information includes how and why the rate increase was proposed, the consequences of not raising rates, how charges are allocated among different types of users, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing. Proposition 218 requires that a public hearing be held at least 45 days after the public notice has been sent out. After the public hearing, the governing board can adopt the new rates through an ordinance if there is no majority protest (50% plus one) from the property owners/rate payers. All protests are required to be in writing with the protester’s name and affected parcel number. Proposition 218 does not apply to connection charges, capacity charges, wholesale rates, groundwater pumping fees and conservation penalties.

Additionally, the letter should include “In accordance with Senate Bill 323, any judicial action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, validate, or annul an ordinance, resolution, or motion adopting a fee or charge for water service, or modifying or amending an existing fee or charge for water service, shall be commenced within 120 days of the effective date or of the date of the final passage, adoption, or approval of the ordinance, resolution, or motion, whichever is later.” Compliance with Assembly bill 2257 may prohibit a person or entity from bringing judicial action or proceeding with Prop 218 unless person/entity has timely submitted to the local agency a written objection that specifies grounds for noncompliance. Part of this compliance is to ensure a written basis for the rate increase is posted on the system’s external website and includes a link to the public notice.

For full Proposition 218 compliance, always consult with your water system’s legal advisor.

Conclusion
In conclusion, this rate study provides a fair and effective approach to maintaining the financial health of the water system, while ensuring equitable access to clean water for all customers. The recommended rates will allow the utility to continue providing high-quality service in a financially sustainable manner, meeting the needs of the community for years to come.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: MAYOR WRIGHT AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ERIC WIER, CITY MANAGER
BY: LINDA LEAVER, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE

MARTHA RICE, CITY ATTORNEY
DATE: MARCH 16, 2026
SUBJECT: SEWER RATE STUDY
______________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION
• Hear staff report
• Technical questions from the Council
• Receive public comment
• Further Council discussion
• Approve the Crescent City Sewer Rate Study (Willdan Financial Services, Feb. 2026)
• Direct staff regarding sewer rates to be brought back in ordinance form for Council consideration

BACKGROUND
The City provides sewer collection, treatment, and disposal service to Crescent City and the surrounding area, serving customers within City limits and in the County Service Area (CSA). The sewer utility is managed as a stand-alone utility fund, which keeps sewer system revenues and expenses separate from other City services. As a cost-recovery utility, the system is intended to recover the full cost of providing service from its users in accordance with Proposition 218.

The City has not increased sewer rates since FY 2015, while operating costs, regulatory obligations, and capital reinvestment needs have only continued to increase. During the past several years staff has presented this structural deficit to the Council as part of the annual City budget. The Council then authorized staff to hire Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”) as an independent consultant to complete a comprehensive Sewer Rate Study and five-year financial plan (FY 2027–FY 2031). This scope of work included a cost-of-service (COS) analysis and a rate design consistent with Proposition 218’s procedural requirements.
2026 SEWER RATE STUDY
MARCH 16, 2026
2 ITEM ANALYSIS
To complete this work Willdan Financial analyzed: (1) the City’s adopted budget (FY 2025-26), (2) debt schedules and coverage requirements, (3) capital improvement plan (CIP) cash-funding needs, (4) reserve policies/targets, (5) detailed customer and billing datasets (account counts, flows, and strength factors), and (6) other revenue sources (interest, miscellaneous). The Study distinguishes recurring O&M vs. non-operating items, escalates costs appropriately, and removes identified one-time expenses from the out-years.

Willdan’s Rate Study finds that existing rates no longer meet annual revenue requirements (O&M, capital improvements, reserves, debt service and coverage), confirming the structural deficits in the Sewer Fund. In status-quo projections, annual operating results remain negative and the sewer fund has a negative working capital balance by FY 2027-28.

In order to keep the sewer utility sustainable, maintain essential infrastructure, and comply with federal, state, and local requirements, Willdan’s study recommends changes to the rate structure beginning July 1, 2026, followed by annual adjustments through 2030 to restore revenue sufficiency, meet coverage requirements, and rebuild reserves.

The rate-setting process used in the study follows industry standards and Proposition 218 requirements and involves four steps:

1. Revenue Requirement – Calculate the total annual revenue needed to fund sewer operations and maintenance, debt service and coverage, cash-funded capital improvements, and reserve balances over the five-year period.

2. Cost-of-Service (COS) Analysis – Functionally unbundle system costs (Collection, Treatment, Customer, Administration), classify them as fixed or volumetric, and allocate costs to customer classes using units of service (accounts, flows in 100 cubic feet, and strength factors—BOD/TSS) so each class pays its proportionate share.

3. Rate Design – Structure rates to collect the COS-based revenue for each class (e.g., a fixed monthly charge for single-family residential; fixed + volumetric charges for multi-family and non-residential, with strength-based differentiation), ensuring total revenues meet but do not exceed the cost of providing service (including operations, maintenance, debt coverage, capital improvements, and reserves).

4. Proposition 218 Process – Satisfy constitutional requirements for property-related charges (cost basis/proportionality), mail notices to affected owners/customers, and conduct a public hearing with protest tabulation prior to adoption.

Revenue requirements in Willdan’s analysis are built from the City’s adopted FY 2025-26 budget and projected forward for FY 2027–FY 2031, with recurring costs escalated and 2026 SEWER RATE STUDY
MARCH 16, 2026
3 one-time items adjusted in consultation with staff. The plan incorporates debt service of approximately $1.7 million annually and a minimum debt service coverage of ≥1.20x (planning target ~1.50x). It also maintains an Operating Reserve target of 180 days of O&M and dedicated capital reserves consistent with recommended best management practices. Finally, the financial plan paces cash-funded capital averaging roughly $0.88 million per year over the five-year period, to support ongoing rehabilitation, replacement, modernization, and targeted system improvements while avoiding sharp swings in annual cash outlays.

It is important to note the study assumes multiple large capital improvements as outlined in the recently adopted WWTF Basis of Design Report will be grant funded. As such any costs associated with that future project are not included in these rate projections.

The analysis confirms that existing rates cannot meet the City’s financial obligations and policy targets. Willdan’s proposed rate path restores revenue sufficiency, achieves required coverage, and funds planned CIP cash outlays while maintaining reserves.

The recommended rates developed by the study are summarized below:

As stated in the Wildan study on page 23, to provide additional insight and context regarding the proposed rate levels, the analysis includes a comparison of proposed inside 2026 SEWER RATE STUDY
MARCH 16, 2026
4 City and outside City (County CSA) user rates relative to the user rates imposed by other sewer utility systems located in the same region. A summary analysis is provided comparing the cost of monthly sewer service for both inside City and outside City (County) single-family residential customers calculated under the proposed rates of the City with those of the other utilities. The City’s proposed outside City (County) single-family rates only reflect the costs of providing sewer treatment services since sewer collection services are provided by and billed separately by the CSA and are not reflected herein.

The rates utilized for the other neighboring utilities shown in Figure 1 were in effect as of August 2025.

A common question asked with our current rate structure, which will continue under the proposed structure, is: “Why is the County sewer rate lower than the inside-City rate?” The reason is that the inside-City rate includes the full cost of sewer collection, conveyance, and the infrastructure required to deliver wastewater to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Facility. In contrast, the County (CSA) rate includes only the cost of treatment, because the City provides treatment services to CSA customers but does not provide their sewer collection system. As noted in the Rate Study, CSA customers receive separate billing from Del Norte County for sewer collection services, which the County administers and collects independently. These County-administered collection charges are not included in the City’s sewer rates. For this reason, the proposed County CSA rate appears lower than the inside-City rate, because CSA customers pay separately for collection through the County.
2026 SEWER RATE STUDY
MARCH 16, 2026
5 NEXT STEPS
Staff recommends the City Council approve the attached sewer rate study and provide direction to bring a sewer rate ordinance back for Council consideration. Once the ordinance is introduced, the Prop 218 process will begin. A formal notice will be mailed to every affected property owner and ratepayer explaining the proposed rates and their opportunity to protest the rate increase. Each parcel is able to submit one valid protest (this can be submitted by either the property owner or the ratepayer).

If the recommended rates are adopted, they would be effective July 1, 2026. Since sewer service is billed in arrears (the month after the service is provided), most customers would see the first increase on their bill in August 2026.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The sewer rate study was funded by the Sewer Fund. Approval of the final report does not have a direct fiscal impact.

If the Council directs staff to develop an ordinance to implement Sewer rate changes, there will be costs associated with the Prop 218 process to mail notices to all affected property owners and ratepayers. If new rates are adopted, the increased revenues will be reflected in the sewer fund and help ensure the long-term sustainability of the fund.

Section 1 – Executive Summary

1.1 Introduction
Willdan Financial Services (Willdan) is pleased to submit to the City of Crescent City (City) the Sewer Rate Study report (Report) for your consideration. Willdan has completed the study of the City’s sewer rates and summarized the results of the investigations, analyses, and conclusions in this Report.

1.1.1 Sewer System Background
Crescent City is located on the coast 15 miles south of the Oregon border in Del Norte County, California. The City’s sewer service area includes the city limits and the surrounding County Service Area (CSA). The CSA consists of two sub-areas: the Northcrest area which is north of the city and the Bertsch-Oceanview area to the east.

The City and CSA maintain separate sanitary sewer collection systems within the service area. Sewer flows generated within the CSA are collected and conveyed to the City’s collection system. The City’s system then conveys the combined City and County (CSA) - generated sewer flows to the Crescent City Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWWTP) for treatment and disposal. Since the CSA is a separate entity from the City and maintains their own sewer collection infrastructure, the CSA bills customers within its service territory for sewer collection services provided to those customers. The City is not involved in developing or implementing the sewer collection rates and has no control or influence over the sewer collection rates set by the CSA. The City only bills CSA customers for the treatment services they provide to the CSA for wastewater conveyed to its treatment facility.

Raw wastewater from the City and CSA is conveyed to the CCWWTP through a 21-inchdiameter gravity line to the headworks structure. The headworks structure includes mechanically cleaned screens, a flow measuring Parshall Flume, and a wet well in which five pumps are available to lift the flow to the primary clarifiers. Primary treatment consists of two grit removal tanks followed by two rectangular primary clarifiers. Primary sludge is pumped to the gravity thickener. Floatable scum and grease are mechanically skimmed and pumped to the gravity thickener. Secondary treatment is provided by operating the Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) in parallel.

The treated sewage is discharged from the CCWWTP through two ocean outfall lines that are interconnected at the discharge location. The older outfall includes an 18-inch-diameter pipeline from the CCWWTP to the shoreline and a 12-inch-diameter pipeline that runs from the shoreline at Battery Point, across a tidal sand bridge, then along the southern shoreline of Lighthouse Island. The pipe is sloped downward at a 45-degree angle and discharges into the bottom of a natural slot formed in the basalt, a 10-foot-deep surge channel on the south side of Lighthouse Island. The slot faces the direction of prevailing wave impact, which provides for intense wave activity that promotes dilution of effluent. The older outfall has an 2 | P a g e
approximate gravity capacity of 2 MGD and a capacity of 7 MGD when both effluent pumps are operating. The second 24-inch-diameter pipeline was constructed in 2005 to significantly increase effluent conveyance capacity. The newer outfall has a gravity flow capacity of 11 to 13 MGD depending on tide conditions.

1.1.2 Rate Study Background
The City has focused a significant amount of attention and effort on strategic planning measures in all areas of sewer utility operations to ensure that the sewer system is able to maintain critical utility infrastructure, provide a stable and well-functioning system that delivers uninterrupted service to its customers, and so that it remains prepared for the future.

As part of its ongoing strategic planning efforts, the City commissioned Willdan to perform a sewer rate study to analyze the revenue sources and expenditures of the sewer utility system and provide recommendations for proposed rate and/or rate structure adjustments to meet the financial and administrative goals and objectives of the City. The primary objectives of the rate study include:
• Full recovery of costs related to utility operations (i.e., operating and maintenance costs, debt, and other expenditure requirements);
• Development of a cost-based rate structure;
• Consistency with Water Environment Federation (“WEF”) guidelines; • Equity among customer classes;
• Meeting substantive and procedural Proposition 218 requirements; • Administrative efficiency (i.e., easy to understand and implement); and • 5-Year capital funding plan.

1.2 Overview of the Rate Study Process
This study includes the development and presentation of a pro-forma sewer financial plan for a 5-year planning period, as well as the development of cost-based rates through a comprehensive cost-of-service and rate design analysis. Utility rates must be set at a level such that operating, maintenance, debt, and capital expenses are funded with the revenues received from customers. In addition, the revenues generated from sewer utility rates must only be used for these purposes and for the sewer system only. This is a significant point, as failure to achieve the revenues needed can lead to unacceptable service levels and inadequately maintained facilities. Therefore, a rate study typically consists of the following three interrelated analyses:
3 | P a g e
I. Financial Planning/Revenue Requirement Analysis: Creates a five-year financial plan to support an orderly, efficient program of funding for on-going maintenance and operating costs, capital improvement and routine system component replacement activities, debt financing, and retirement of outstanding debt. In addition, the plan should fund and maintain appropriate reserve balances based on industry standards, as well as the City’s fiscal policies and specific needs.

II. Cost-of-Service Analysis: Identifies and apportions annual revenue requirements (i.e., expenditures) to operational and functional cost components based on the relative demand placed on the sewer utility system by various groups or classes of customers. The purpose of this analysis is to develop customer rates that generate revenues proportionate to their share of the utility’s costs. This objective is consistent with industry standards as well as the requirements of Proposition 218 (Prop 218).

III. Rate Design: Develops an equitable and proportionate fixed/variable schedule of rates for the City’s customer base. The policy objectives are coordinated with Prop 218 requirements and cost-of-service objectives to achieve a balance between customer equity and financial stability goals. The balance of fixed and variable charges considers the need for a stable revenue source (the fixed charge) and accounts for customers placing higher costs on the system (through higher sewer use) by incurring a higher bill reflective of their impact on the system (the variable component).

Rate Design Analysis
Considers both the level and structure of the rate design to collect the appropiate and targeted level of revenues.

Cost of Service Analysis
Allocates the revenue requirements to the fixed/variable cost components based on cost of service.

Revenue Requirement Analysis
Compares the revenues to the expenses of the utility
to determine the overall rate adjustment required.
4 | P a g e
This rate study utilizes generally accepted rate-making principles and standards established by industry experts such as the WEF in its “Financing and Charges for Sewer Systems, Manual of Practice No. 27”. The principles established by these entities are used as guidelines in the development of the proposed sewer rates. A discussion of some of the key principles of ratemaking is presented in the following subsection of this Report.

1.3 Summary of Proposed Rates
The rate study methodology applied in the development of updated sewer rates, outlined in this Report, consisted of reviewing the historical operating results of the sewer utility system, analyzing the budget to identify the net revenue requirements to be recovered from user rate revenues, performing general cost-of-service allocations based on the rate components and functional cost categories, and adjusting the user rates based on the applicable costs and expenditures to be recovered. In addition, an analysis of the system’s customers and their usage and demand characteristics was performed to identify the costof-service rate determinants since they form the basis for the recommended rates, which are the primary source for generating revenues. The allocated revenue requirements were utilized in conjunction with the rate determinants and rate structure to develop the proposed sewer rates.

The findings and conclusions of the rate analysis, as well as the resulting revised rate recommendations, were utilized to develop a projection of future operating results for a 5- year planning period from Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 (beginning July 1, 2026) through FY 2031 (ending June 30, 2031), herein referred to as the “Projection Period”. The purpose of developing the 5-year projections is to demonstrate the financial capability of the sewer revenues to support system operations, maintenance, repayment of outstanding and/or anticipated debt and compliance with debt covenants, address policy goals such as accumulation and maintenance of designated reserves, and funding planned rehabilitation and repair of aging system components and minor and major capital improvement projects.

The analyses, findings and accompanying recommendations are presented in the subsequent sections of the Report.

The sewer rate analysis described in the Report is performed based on the general guidelines of the defined objectives, as well as common industry standards for setting utility rates. The proposed sewer rates for assumed implementation effective July 1, 2026 (or other such date as determined by the City) for FY 2026/27 (FY 2027, herein referred to as the “Test Year”) are provided in Table 1. The existing rates are provided in Table 2. 5 | P a g e

[2] Under the existing rates, 500 cubic feet of usage is included in the monthly fixed charge. Therefore, customers who are billed for usage do not pay a volumetric rate per CCF until their usage exceeds 500 cubic feet. Under the proposed rates, usage is no longer included in the monthly fixed charge and customers will pay the volumetric rate per CCF for all usage. 6 | P a g e
Section 2 – Revenue Sufficiency Analysis

2.1 Financial Planning Principles
While the individual rates for a utility system vary based on a variety of factors, rates should be consistent with common rate-making principles within the utility industry. The guiding principle is that rates designed for any utility should provide a reasonable balance between key factors. In general, the utility rates should:
• Generate a stable revenue stream that, when combined with other sources of funds, is sufficient to meet the expenditure requirements and goals of the system. • Be based upon the proportionate cost of providing the service and not exceed the cost of providing the service – in compliance with California Proposition 218.

2.2 Existing Rates
The City has established user rates for sewer service that are applied to retail customers of the system. The rates charged for sewer service are approved by the City Council and are not subject to administrative review or approval by any other local or state agency. The City has historically adjusted rates, as necessary, to provide for recovery of financial obligations including operating expenses, debt service, capital expenditures and any other expenses and transfers.

The existing inside and outside City sewer rates consist of 1) monthly fixed charges that apply to residential and mixed use customers regardless of their usage, 2) monthly fixed charges that apply to multi-family and non-residential customers by account, which include 500 cubic feet of usage, and 2) a volumetric rate component per 100 cubic feet that recovers the costs of collection and treatment of wastewater by customer type. The volumetric rate component only applies to multi-family and non-residential customers. Customers that pay a volumetric rate do not currently pay the volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet until their monthly usage exceeds 500 cubic feet. The existing rates apply to City and CSA customers.

CSA (outside City) customers rates do not include sewer collection and conveyance costs since the CSA provides sewer collection services and bills customers separately for these services. The existing rates for sewer services are provided in Table 2. 7 | P a g e

[2] Under the existing rates, 500 cubic feet of usage is included in the monthly fixed charge. Therefore, customers who are billed for usage do not pay a volumetric rate per CCF until their usage exceeds 500 cubic feet. Under the proposed rates, usage is no longer included in the monthly fixed charge and customers will pay the volumetric rate per CCF for all usage. [3] County customers pay the City for treatment services only. Collection services are provided by and billed separately by the County.

Notes:
[1] All "Residential" and "Mixed Use" customers only pay a monthly flat fee regardless of usage.

2.3 Revenue Sufficiency Process
In evaluating whether the existing rates will generate sufficient revenue to meet the expenditure requirements of the sewer system, the annual expenditures required for the sewer utility system (herein referred to as the “Revenue Requirements”) were developed. The Revenue Sufficiency Analysis compares the forecasted revenues for the sewer utility system under existing rates (including customer growth) to the projected Revenue Requirements.

2.3.1 Budget
The Revenue Sufficiency analysis performed as part of this study and summarized in this report utilizes the City’s adopted budget for FY 2025/26 (the “Budget” for FY ending June 30, 2026) as one variable to determine the gross Revenue Requirement to be recovered from user rates over the Projection Period. The Budget, as prepared by the City, is provided on a line-item basis, and is used for projecting the budgeted financial needs for the Test Year and the remainder of the Projection Period. In developing the rate analysis, certain adjustments are made such that expenditures are categorized into either Operating and Maintenance (O&M) expenses or non-operating expenses. In addition, only recurring costs included in the current Budget were included as part of the Revenue Sufficiency Analysis for the entirety of the Projection Period. One-time costs were identified and evaluated in discussions with City Staff and removed from future years if appropriate. Recurring annual costs were escalated using suitable indexes or escalation factors, again in discussion with City Staff. The O&M expenses are primarily those ongoing costs for labor, materials, chemicals, electricity, supplies, services, etc., required to manage and operate the utility system on a day-to-day basis while maintaining a dependable level of service. The O&M requirements are generally a function of a budgetary process and are directly related to the level of service provided to customers of the utility system. The non-operating expenses include such items as capital outlay and any other expenses & transfers.

The Budget also identifies estimated revenues derived from sources other than sewer user rates. Such other revenue sources include interest earnings on investments, and various other miscellaneous service charges. The revenues generated from the other sources are applied to the gross Revenue Requirement to reduce the amount of revenue required from user rates. The result is the net Revenue Requirement.

2.3.2 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The City provided a list of anticipated capital projects to be undertaken over the Projection Period. These are also included in the development of the gross Revenue Requirement. The capital projects provided by and identified by the City in the CIP are required to modernize and upgrade the system to maintain uninterrupted service to customers by investing in improvements, repairs, or replacements of aging system components as they wear over time. The City also provided cost estimates for the identified capital projects by the fiscal year in which they are estimated to be undertaken. The funding for these capital projects 9 | P a g e
was then used in the analysis, along with O&M and non-operating expenses, to determine the gross Revenue Requirement for the sewer system. The capital projects included in the CIP (represented in $1,000s), along with their assumed funding sources by fiscal year, for the Projection Period are provided in Table 3.

Table 3 – Sewer CIP ($1,000s)

2.3.3 Debt Service
The City currently has one outstanding debt issue associated with the sewer utility system, with an annual payment of approximately $1.7M, as shown in Table 4. A minimum debt service coverage ratio of net revenue of at least 1.20 times the annual debt service payment is typically required to be maintained on an annual basis. In simple terms, this means the utility typically must have $1.20 in net operating revenues for every $1.00 in debt service they are committed to paying on outstanding debt. The debt service coverage is calculated by dividing net operating revenues (revenue less operations and maintenance expenses) by annual debt service. Based on discussions with City staff, there are no future debt issuances anticipated to take place over the Projection Period. The annual debt payments over the Projection Period, which are included in the development of the gross Revenue Requirement, are provided in Table 4.

2.3.4 Gross and Net Revenue Requirement
The proposed sewer rates developed in the Report are designed for assumed implementation for FY 2026/27 (the Test Year as previously defined). The projected Test Year gross and net Revenue Requirement is estimated by utilizing the Budget, actual debt service requirements as provided in the applicable debt service schedules, capital project cost estimates and assumed funding sources for capital projects as provided by the City, along with anticipated transfers to reserves for funding capital projects. The Test Year Revenue Requirement that is used for developing the user rates proposed herein is detailed in Appendix A at the end of this report and summarized in Table 5.

Table 5 – Test Year Revenue Requirements – FY 2027
The projected Revenue Requirements for the sewer system over the entire Projection Period are provided in Table 6.

2.4 Customer Data
The rate study is heavily reliant upon a detailed historical analysis of system customers and their accompanying usage and demand characteristics. Data reflecting the existing utility customer base and metered/billable flows provide the determinants utilized in the cost-ofservice analysis, and ultimately in calculating the monthly sewer user rates and charges, which become the foundation for projecting future revenues generated by the sewer system.

It is important to note that the customer analysis focuses primarily on the customer classifications that will be subject to and impacted by the user rates and charges to be developed in the Report. This consists of the general service (retail) customers that currently pay for utility service pursuant to the existing user rates and charges as previously detailed.

For the purposes of the rate study, it is these customers and their accompanying usage characteristics that will generate revenues based upon the proposed user rates and charges.

2.4.1 Customer Billing Analysis
For the rate study, detailed historical monthly billing information was provided for each customer. This data offered a breakdown of customers by location (inside vs outside City), customer class, usage characteristics, and billed charges. The historical billing data was queried from the City’s electronic billing records. An analysis of the billing data was conducted to obtain an understanding of existing customers, customer classes, demand and usage characteristics, and metered usage per customer class. In accordance with the data, as well as discussions with the City staff, the utility system provides service to various identifiable retail customer classes consisting of:
• Single-Family Residential
• Multi-Family Residential
• Mixed Use
• Commercial/Non-Residential, and
• Industrial Pretreatment.

Each of these customer classes embodies certain common characteristics in their utility use and service demand profiles that provide the basis for establishing an equitable allocation of system costs. The billing data was utilized to identify the number of customer accounts and dwelling units within each class, the metered/billable usage profiles, and sewer strength characteristics.

The historical customer data was also utilized, along with other City planning data and discussions with City staff, to establish growth trends for each customer classification. The growth trends were then used to project the average number of customers within each class for the Test Year plus the remaining years of the Projection Period. 12 | P a g e

2.5 Financial Projections Under Existing Rates
The projected customers and accompanying billable flows were applied to the existing rates to develop a projection of user revenues that would be generated under existing rates. The revenues were then compared to the projected revenue requirements/expenditures to determine if revenue adjustments would be needed to meet the calculated Revenue Requirements shown in Tables 5 and 6.

Based on this comparison, it is projected that under the existing rates, the sewer system would not meet its collective projected operating and maintenance (O&M) financial obligations, debt service payments and coverage requirements, costs of capital projects, and transfers to maintain cash reserves.

Therefore, revenue increases are required and recommended to generate additional cash to fund projected costs of operations, meet debt service requirements, capital projects, and maintain adequate operating and capital cash reserves. In addition, best practice is to maintain at least 180 days of operating cash reserves to help fund ongoing operations in the event of periodic fluctuations in cash flow, and to address unexpected needs that may require cash funding. The City also maintains a separate capital reserve to fund infrastructure needs and capital improvements. The cash-flow statement outlining the projected operating results under existing rates is summarized in Table 7. The proposed rates and projected financial results are addressed in the subsequent sections of this Report. 13 | P a g e

Section 3 – Cost-of-Service (COS) Analysis

3.1 General
The costs incurred by a sewer utility system are generally driven by specific service requirements imposed on the system by its customers. For sewer systems, the primary service requirements that drive costs typically include annual sewer volumes, sewer treatment strength, such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and the number and types of customers served.

There are several different options that can be used to perform a COS analysis, and the allocation methodology depends upon the operating profile of the utility and the basis applied. The sewer cost-of-service analysis detailed in Section 3.2 involves an examination of the number and type of customers served in accordance with the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Revenue Program Guidelines for Wastewater Agencies.

3.2 Sewer Cost-of-Service
The COS analysis utilizes the Revenue Requirements for the Test Year as the cost basis. The Test Year Revenue Requirements are functionally unbundled, classified and allocated to customer classes to determine the cost-of-service by class. As stated in Section 3.1, the sewer COS analysis involves an examination of sewer volumes, strength factors (i.e., BOD and TSS), and the number and type of customers served in accordance with the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Revenue Program Guidelines for Wastewater Agencies. More detail relating to the sewer COS approach can be found in Appendix B.

3.2.1 Functional Unbundling of Revenue Requirements
The sewer system costs are unbundled into Collection, Treatment, Customer and Administration functions. A brief description of each component is as follows:
• Collection – costs associated with lines and facilities that transport wastewater from customer properties to treatment facilities;
• Treatment – costs associated with treating wastewater for disposal reclamation and/or discharge;
• Customer – costs associated with billing, and providing other services to customers (e.g., printing, delivering and collecting utility bills, recordkeeping, etc.). • Administration – various overhead and other non-operating costs The allocation of the functionally unbundled revenue requirements for the Test Year is summarized in Table 8.
15 | P a g e
Table 8 - Functional Unbundled Cost Allocations

3.2.2 Classification of Revenue Requirements
The functionally unbundled revenue requirements for the sewer system are classified into fixed and volumetric customer components based on a methodology consistent with the WEF Manual of Practice No. 27. It is anticipated that the allocation percentages will not change materially during the Projection Period. However, it is important to note that COS analysis is based on the data at a specific point in time (i.e., the most recent fiscal year). To the extent that weather conditions, economic conditions and customer usage characteristics change during the Projection Period, the cost allocators can be impacted.

The system-wide costs by service characteristics are shown in Table 9.

Table 9 - Classification of Unbundled Revenue Requirements

3.2.3 Allocation to Customer Classes and Unit Cost
Development
The functionalized and classified Revenue Requirements are allocated to customer classes utilizing a unit cost approach as follows:
• Collection – Based on relative percentage of annual sewer usage; • Treatment – Based on relative percentage of sewer strength discharge (BOD and TSS);
• Customer – Based on relative percentage of customers by customer class.

The units of service for each component of cost by customer class (if applicable) are provided in Table 10. The units of service consist of the number of customers, annual flows in 100 cubic feet, and sewer strength discharge. Customers are based on the number of customers as provided in the customer data. Collection is the total annual sewer flows projected for the Test Year. BOD and TSS reflect the strength per pound of the sewer discharge collected by the City from each customer class based on standards for wastewater discharge included in the SWRCB Guidelines or based on City samples from sewer for customers whose discharge is monitored.

[1] Since the CSA directly provides sewer collection and conveyance services to outside city customers, their collection costs are handled by the county through their annual CSA tax payment and the County is paid directly for these costs.

Therefore, these units are excluded when developing the "Cost Per Unit", so that the "Cost Per Unit" only reflects the collection costs attributable to providing sewer collection and conveyance services to inside city customers. The City is not involved in, nor does the City have any control over the sewer collection rates set by the CSA. The City only bills CSA customers for the treatment services they provide to the CSA.

3.2.4 Cost-of-Service and Revenue Check
Once the unit costs are developed and the costs associated with each customer class based on the units of service are determined in Section 3.2.3, rates can be developed to ensure that each customer class is generating sufficient revenues to cover their allocated cost of service. The proposed rate structure for the sewer rates is as follows:
• Single-Family Residential Customers – For single-family residential customers, the proposed rates will consist of only a flat fixed charge per single-family residential customer, regardless of usage. Using a flat fixed charge for single-family residential customers is an accepted and predominant industry practice since wastewater is typically not metered, as is the case with the City, and wastewater discharge and demand is relatively uniform among the single-family residential class. Unlike a volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet, a flat rate also addresses single-family residential customers potentially being overcharged for water usage that is not returned to the sewer system, such as seasonal irrigation.
• Multi-Family Residential Customers – For multi-family residential customers, the proposed rates will consist of a fixed charge and a volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet that applies to all sewer discharge.
• Mixed Use Customers – For mixed use customers, the proposed rates will consist of only a flat fixed charge per mixed use customer, regardless of usage. Since water usage data is not available to demonstrate residential vs. commercial usage among the mixed-uses, it was determined to apply a flat fixed rate rather than trying to determine residential vs. commercial usage to calculate a volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet for each customer type within the mixed-use classification. • Non-Residential Customers – For non-residential customers, the proposed rates will consist of a fixed charge and a volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet that applies to all sewer discharge based on each customer class’s respective sewer strength discharge (i.e., light strength and high strength).
• Industrial Pretreatment Customers – For industrial pretreatment customers, the proposed rates will consist of a fixed charge and a volumetric rate per 100 cubic feet that applies to all sewer discharge.

The revenues generated by customer class vs the cost allocated to each customer class are provided in Table 13.

Section 4 – Proposed Test Year Rates

4.1 General
The methodology used to calculate the recommended sewer rates proposed herein involves applying the projected customer units of service to the user rates developed in the preceding COS and rate analysis to calculate the estimated revenues that would be generated. Then, these projected revenues are compared to the estimated Test Year Revenue Requirements, and the sewer rates are adjusted on a percentage basis as necessary until the revenues generated are sufficient to meet the revenue needs of the sewer utility system.

When reviewing potential rate structure options in conjunction with the need for additional revenues, it was determined that revenue adjustments are needed, and the existing rate structure needs to be adjusted based on the COS analysis. The proposed sewer rates for the Test Year are provided again in Table 14.

[1] All "Residential" and "Mixed Use" customers only pay a monthly flat fee regardless of usage.
[3] County customers pay the City for treatment services only. Collection services are provided by and billed separately by the County. [2] Under the existing rates, 500 cubic feet of usage is included in the monthly fixed charge. Therefore, customers who are billed for usage do not pay a volumetric rate per CCF until their usage exceeds 500 cubic feet. Under the proposed rates, usage is no longer included in the monthly fixed charge and customers will pay the volumetric rate per CCF for all usage. 23 | P a g e

4.2 Rate Comparison with Other Utilities
To provide the City with additional insight and context regarding the proposed rate levels, the analysis includes a comparison of proposed inside City and outside City (County) user rates relative to the user rates imposed by other sewer utility systems located in the same region. A summary analysis is provided comparing the cost of monthly sewer service for both inside City and outside City (County) single-family residential customers calculated under the proposed rates of the City with those of the other utilities. The City’s proposed outside City (County) single-family rates only reflect the costs of providing sewer treatment services since sewer collection services are provided by and billed separately by the CSA and are not reflected herein. The rates utilized for the other neighboring utilities shown in Figure 1 were in effect as of August 2025 and are exclusive of local taxes, outside surcharges, franchise fees, regulatory fees, or other rate adjustments. A summary comparison with other utilities for a single-family residential customer receiving 800 cubic feet of service per monthly billing is illustrated in Figure 1.

24 | P a g e
It should be noted that when making comparisons of sewer service with other sewer providers, several factors affect the level of rates and charges. Such factors may include:
• Terms of wholesale service agreements;
• Time since last rate update for comparison providers; • Level of treatment and effluent disposal methods of sewer service; • Anticipated capital improvement programs and capital financing methods; • Plant capacity utilization, age of facilities, and assistance in construction by federal or state grants, connection fees, developer contributions, etc.; • General Fund and/or administrative fee transfers made by other systems which may account for differences in the level of rates charged; and • Bond covenants and funding requirements of the rates.

For the utilities included in the rate comparison, no analysis has been carried out with consideration of the above-mentioned factors as they relate to the reported sewer rates currently being charged.

Section 5 – Projected Operating Results

5.1 General
As a conclusion to the study, a pro-forma operating statement is developed for the sewer system. The statement summarizes the projected financial results based on the system’s revenues, expenses and other Revenue Requirements anticipated in future years.

The individual operating statements cover the 5-fiscal year Projection Period through June 30, 2031, and are prepared on a cash-flow basis. In addition, the pro-forma statement includes the applicable annual percentage rate adjustments necessary to meet the projected Revenue Requirements. The following discussions describe the development of the major components of the projected operating results.

5.2 Projected User Rate Revenues
The user rate and charge revenues are estimated by applying the existing and proposed rates to the projected customer units of service. The resulting revenues are then compared to the projected Revenue Requirements (i.e., O&M expenses, debt service, capital outlay, CIP, transfers, etc.) in each fiscal year to determine if the revenues are sufficient to satisfy the expenditure needs of the system. To the extent that there are revenue shortfalls in any given year of the Projection Period, the sewer rates developed from the COS and Rate analysis outlined previously in Section 3 of this Report are adjusted on a percentage basis, as necessary, to generate the required level of revenues. The projected sewer user rate revenues are provided in Table 15.
26 | P a g e
Table 15 – Projected User Rate Revenues
The projected revenues include the annual sewer rate adjustments anticipated for the remaining years of the Projection Period beyond the Test Year. The proposed user rates, from which the projected operating results are developed for the entire 5-fiscal year Projection Period are provided in Table 16. The rates identified in the proceeding table reflect the cost of providing service to individual customer classes based on the types of customers being served, metered/billable flows, and strength characteristics.

Table 16 – Proposed Monthly Sewer Rates
The projected user rates provided herein for the periods beyond the Test Year are intended for strategic planning purposes, and to provide the City with the estimated future rates that may be needed to satisfy the projected cash flow requirements. The rates are developed in accordance with the assumed customer, flow, expenditure, and revenue estimates projected in this rate study. It is important to note that, since it is necessary to utilize numerous assumptions to develop the projected operating results, to the extent that actual customers, flows and/or system expenditures differ from those assumed herein, additional rate adjustments may be required. For informative purposes, the monthly bill for both inside city and outside city (county) residential customers based on the projected rates for each fiscal year of the Projection Period is included herein. As explained in previous sections of the Report, outside city (county) customer bills only reflect the City’s costs of providing sewer treatment services since sewer collection services are provided by and billed separately by the CSA, which is a separate entity from the City. An illustration of the projected bill path for both an inside city and outside city (county) residential customer are provided in Figures 2 and 3, respectively.

5.3 Debt Service Coverage
The sewer operating statement also includes a calculation of the annual debt service coverage. Debt service coverage is generally viewed as an indicator of the financial strength of the utility. The debt service coverage ratio is broadly calculated by dividing the net revenues by the annual debt service requirement. For the purposes of the debt service coverage calculation developed herein, the net revenues consist of the total operating revenues (user rate revenues plus other revenues) less O&M expenses. It is important to note that the coverage results are provided for informative purposes only and are not intended as a legally supportable calculation for representation to bondholders. The debt service coverage for the sewer system over the projection period is provided in Table 17.

5.4 Summary of Projected Operating Results
The cash-flow statement outlining the projected operating results is summarized in Table 18 for the sewer system. The results demonstrate that the proposed rates and charges along with the other system revenues are anticipated to be sufficient to satisfy the projected Revenue Requirements and capital needs of the utility system.

Section 6 – Conclusions and Recommendations

6.1 Disclaimers

6.1.1 General Disclaimer
In the development of the proposed user rates and charges, certain historical reviews and analyses have been performed, together with the application of assumptions based on prudent financial, operational, and ratemaking relationships. The cost criteria and customer usage characteristics associated with general ratemaking procedures are representative of averages and are not intended as indicators of any individual customer.

In the preparation of the rate study, certain assumptions have been made with respect to conditions that may occur in the future. While it is believed that these assumptions are reasonable for the purpose of this update, they are dependent upon future events and actual conditions may differ from those assumed. In addition, the study has used and relied upon certain information that was provided by other parties not associated with Willdan.

Such information includes, among other things, the City’s audited financial statements, annual operating budgets, periodic reports, and other information and data provided by the City, its independent auditors, and other sources. While the sources are believed to be reliable, there has been no independent verification of the information, and no assurances are offered with respect thereto. To the extent that future conditions differ from those assumed herein or provided by others, the actual results may vary from those projected.

6.1.2 Municipal Advisory Disclaimer
Unless the City of Crescent City, California (the “City”) has a written engagement from Willdan Financial Services (“Willdan”) for municipal advisory services, Willdan is not advising or recommending any action be taken by the recipient of this information with respect to any prospective, new, or existing municipal financial products or issuance of municipal securities (including with respect to the structure, timing, terms and other similar matters concerning such financial products or issues). The City shall discuss any such information and material contained in Willdan’s work product with all internal and/or external advisors and experts, including its own municipal advisor, that it deems appropriate before acting on the information and material.

For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any revenue projections, cash-flow analyses, feasibility studies and/or other analyses Willdan may provide the City with respect to financial, economic or other matters relating to a prospective, new or existing issuance of municipal securities of the City, (A) any such projections, studies and analyses shall be based upon assumptions, opinions or views (including, without limitation, any assumptions related to revenue growth) established by the City, in conjunction with such of its municipal, financial, legal and other advisers as it deems appropriate; and (B) under no circumstances shall Willdan be asked to provide, nor shall it 32 | P a g e
provide, any advice or recommendations or subjective assumptions, opinions or views with respect to the actual or proposed structure, terms, timing, pricing or other similar matters with respect to any municipal financial products or municipal securities issuances, including any revisions or amendments thereto.

6.2 Conclusions
As previously addressed, the purpose of this study is to provide a review of the City’s existing utility rates to determine if rate adjustments are necessary to meet the budgeted and/or projected financial needs in future years. This Report is the result of the collaborative efforts of representatives from both the City and Willdan. City staff were diligent and cooperative in their efforts to ensure the availability and quality of source data on financial and operating matters. Based on the reviews, analyses and assumptions discussed herein, it is concluded that:

1. The proposed user rates and charges are anticipated to generate sufficient revenues to meet the Revenue Requirements of the system based upon the projected expenditures, capital project timing and costs, transfers, and billable customer units estimated for the Test Year. The proposed rates are based on an assumed implementation date of July 1, 2026. To the extent that the implementation date varies from the assumed implementation date, additional rate adjustments and/or appropriations from existing reserves may be necessary.

2. The estimated revenues and resulting rate adjustments for the remaining years of the Projection Period beyond the Test Year are developed based on the customer growth assumptions generated from the historical analyses and discussions with City staff.

3. Customer growth for the sewer system is projected based on historical customer data as provided by the City as well as discussions with the City staff regarding development activity and anticipated construction. If it turns out that the customer growth assumptions are not realized, the resulting revenues could be different than projected.

4. Future capital improvement projects are assumed to occur as reported by the City in its CIP. To the extent that the timing of such projects may change from that estimated herein, the cost of such projects and resulting impact on future rates and charges may vary from those indicated.
33 | P a g e

5. The proposed rates and rate structure are consistent with industry standards for ratesetting practices, comply with Proposition 218 and conform to the City’s financial policies with respect to:
a. Equitably recovering costs;
b. Being based upon the proportionate cost of providing services; and c. Generating sufficient revenue to recover system Revenue Requirements, meet debt service coverage requirements, fund capital needs, and meet reserve requirements.

6.3 Recommendations
Based on the reviews, analyses and assumptions addressed herein, as well as the resulting conclusions provided above, it is respectfully recommended that the City:

1. Adopt the proposed sewer rates.

2. Enact the proposed rates to become effective as of July 1, 2026 (or other such date as determined by the City). Based on the timing of the project and the required public hearing procedures and noticing requirements, it is expected that the proposed rates will become effective on the recommended date.

3. Readdress the COS analysis portion of this study every three to five years to ensure costs are recovered consistently with COS principles and customer characteristics.

We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City in this engagement. In addition, we would like to thank City staff for the valuable assistance provided during the completion of the rate study.

Average strength factors for BOD and TSS are based on the State Water Resources Control Board Revenue Program Guidelines, Appendix G. For the "Monitored" customer class, sewer sample results gathered and provided by the City were utilized to determine BOD and TSS Strength Factors.

Annual sewer flows for single family residential customers were calculated by taking the average winter consumption for the lowest three months of water consumption data provided to determine the factor of winter average usage compared to the total annual average monthly water usage. This factor was then applied to the projected monthly average "Test Year" water consumption to determine the "Test Year" annual sewer flows.

Therefore, these units are excluded when developing the "Cost Per Unit", so that the "Cost Per Unit" only reflects the collection costs attributable to providing sewer collection and conveyance services to inside city customers. The City is not involved in, nor does the City have any control over the sewer collection rates set by the CSA. The City only bills CSA customers for the treatment services they provide to the CSA.
