STUDY SESSION SUMMARY
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors review the budget study session reports prepared for the March 28, 2022 Budget Study Session and provide policy direction relative to the preparation of the FY 2022-2023 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan. Based on that policy direction, City/District staff will prepare the preliminary budget documents and the Proposition 218 public hearing notices for the water and wastewater rates.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
This budget study session focuses on the City/District funds, other than the General Fund, in order to prepare the preliminary FY 2022-2023 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan and to properly notice the public hearings for water and wastewater rates. City/District staff has prepared a series of reports that will be reviewed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors so that policy direction can be provided.
Based on the policy direction received at this study session, City/District staff will proceed to prepare the preliminary FY 2022-2023 budget documents that 5 will be reviewed by the City Council at its Preliminary Budget Review Study Session on May 9, 2022, followed by a budget public hearing on June 6 and then the final FY 2022-2023 budget will be considered for adoption by the City Council at its meeting on June 20, 2022.
ANALYSIS
This study session will focus on a number of budget reports that have been prepared either as part of the normal budget cycle or as requested by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors. The narrative below identifies assumptions and/or requests for direction in preparing the Preliminary FY 2022-2023 Budget.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUNDS
1. Five-Year Capital Improvement Program—FY 2022-2023 to FY 2026- 2027
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consists of projects to maintain and enhance the City/District’s infrastructure of roadways, sidewalks, utilities, structures, and facilities for the benefit of the community. City/District staff seeks adoption of the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program – FY 2022-2023 to FY 2026-2027 in the FY 2022-2023 budget as detailed in the staff report or otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors.
2. Long-Term Capital Improvement Project Funding—City CIP Fund—FY 2022-2023 to FY 2036-2037
During each budget cycle, City staff updates its CIP needs and seeks affirmation of its Long-Term Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Funding program strategy. As part of its budget discussions last year, City Council directed staff to expand the 10-year forecast to 15-years. Staff is recommending “freeing” up the $10 million placeholder for the Levee Project to support other essential City CIP projects. Based on this update as well as the Fund’s reserve position, City staff recommends an escalation approach of $3.5 million General Fund transfers annually to the City Capital Investment Fund through FY 2028-2029, followed by $2.5 million annually for the following eight years of the 15-year forecast as detailed in the staff report or otherwise directed by the City Council.
3. Long-Term Capital Improvement Project Funding—Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds – FY 2022-2023 to FY 2036-2037 6 Enterprise Funds are used to account for District operations that are financed and operated like private business enterprises. User charges are assessed to finance or recover the cost of providing the enterprise’s services to the general public on a continuing basis. The Water Enterprise Funds are for activities associated with providing water services including construction and maintenance of water distribution systems. Whereas, the Wastewater Enterprise Funds are for activities associated with wastewater collection and treatment. As is the case for the City’s CIP program, District staff has updated its CIP needs and seeks affirmation of its Long-Term Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Funding program strategy. As part of its budget discussions last year, the District Board directed staff to expand the 10-year forecast to 15- years. Staff identified $4.875 million of Water CIP projects over the next two years through FY 2023-2024 and $18.07 million of Wastewater CIP projects over the next three years through FY 2024-2025. Based on this update as well as the Water and Wastewater CIP Funds’ reserve position, District staff recommends scaling Water CIP funding at $2.5 million in FY 2022-2023, $1.75 million in FY 2023-2024, before leveling it at $1 million for the remaining 13 years of the 15-year CIP Plan, as well as scaling Wastewater CIP funding at $5.25 million for the first three years before leveling down to $2.1 million for the following 12 years as detailed in the staff report or otherwise directed by the EMID Board of Directors.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
4. Projected Water Rates for FY 2022-2023
a. District staff seeks the adoption of a FY 2022-2023 water rate increase of 3.7% for fixed charges and 3% for variable charges for residential, irrigation and fire line customers based on the analysis contained in the rate study; and
b. District staff seeks authorization to proceed with distributing Proposition 218 Notice based on the EMID Board of Directors’ direction regarding water rates or as otherwise directed by the EMID Board of Directors.
5. Review of Projected Wastewater Rates for FY 2022-2023 to 2026-2027 a. District staff notes that there are three years remaining in EMID Board’s previously approved rolling 5-year wastewater rate increase schedule of 14.25% per year from FY 2021-2022 to FY 2022-2023, an 7 increase of 10.00% for FY 2023-2024, and an increase of 2.0% for FY 2024-2025. No pre-approved rate adjustment is requested for FY 2025- 2026 at this time; and
b. District staff seeks authorization to proceed with distributing a Proposition 218 Notice (as part of a combined notice for water rate increases) based on the EMID Board of Directors’ direction regarding an informational reminder that there is a 14.25% wastewater rate increase for FY 2022-2023 or as otherwise directed by the EMID Board of Directors.
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS
6. Internal Service Summary and Fund Balance Analysis
City/District staff seeks confirmation of the City Council/EMID Board of Directors’ policy on reserve levels and funding methodologies for its Internal Service Funds as detailed in the staff report. Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided by one department to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
7. Vehicle Replacement Fund
The Vehicle Replacement Fund is for vehicle replacement, acquisition, and maintenance service charges and the related billings to various departments. Based on the vehicle replacement schedule and their age, twenty-two (22) vehicles had adequate funding for replacement in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. However, staff is recommending two (2) vehicles be scheduled and funded for replacement in FY 2022-2023.
This is based upon a thorough review of the maintenance history, usage, and condition. Staff does not anticipate that deferring the remaining vehicles will have a significant negative impact on City operations or on future scheduled replacements based on the overall condition of the fleet. One impact is the appropriation of funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives. These funds are available and budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2022-2023 is $74,814. Funding for two vehicles which have been ordered in FY 2021-2022, but are not anticipated to be received until FY 2022-2023, is also being carried over. The second budget impact is the transfer of funding for the future replacement of vehicles. The total recommended transfer is $379,710. The final budget impact is the 8 transfer of funding for replacement cost of vehicles and the cost of the Vehicle Maintenance operation, which is distributed among the various departments and funds based upon allocations that are determined by number of vehicles assigned. The total recommended transfer is $1,362,901. The FY 2022-2023 Vehicle Replacement Fund budget reflects an increase of approximately $16,994 (or 1%) compared to FY 2021-2022, totaling $1,977,502. The increase is due to a combination of reasons including an increase due to insurance, a decrease in the replacement of vehicles and equipment, a decrease in personnel costs and overhead charges, the addition of contingency funds, and an increase in adjustments to equipment-related purchases.
8. Equipment Replacement Fund
The Equipment Replacement Fund is for equipment replacement, acquisition, and the related billings to various departments for Non- Enterprise fund assets. City/District staff seeks confirmation to proceed with preparing the Equipment Replacement Fund budget based on the recommendations and allocations contained in the staff report or as otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors. Overall, the Equipment Replacement Fund is adequately funded. Staff did an analysis of all assets, adjusting replacement values and useful life estimates to accurately reflect the best information currently available about each asset. One impact is the appropriation of funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives. These funds are available and budgeted in the respective Equipment Replacement Funds. The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2022-2023 total $724,825. The second budget impact associated with the Equipment Replacement Fund is the transfer between funds of replacement charges for each asset. The overall changes in replacement charges for the Non-Enterprise (General) Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund is a $234,421 (or 38%) decrease, a $123,096 (or 19%) decrease, and a $11,443 (or 5%) increase, respectively, compared to FY 2021-2022.
9. Self-Insurance Fund
The Self-Insurance Fund is for charges to the various departments for general liability and property insurance premiums, defense costs, and related administrative costs. City/District staff seeks confirmation to prepare the Self-Insurance Fund budget based on the recommendation to maintain a minimum Self-Insurance Fund Reserve Balance of $1 million, along with allocations contained in the staff report or as 9 otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors. With revenues and expenditures projected through June 30, 2021, the estimated fund balance beginning FY 2022-2023 will be $1,015,302 which is above the $1 million reserve target. For FY 2022-2023, the amount budgeted for premiums includes an increase of 47% above the previous year which reflects continued volatility in the insurance market that continues to experience considerable losses in natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and fires throughout the United States and in California.
Self-Insurance internal services charges in the various department budgets reflect an overall increase of $618,897 (or 105.06%) compared to FY 2021-2022 in assessments.
10. Information Technology Fund
The Information Technology Fund is for information technology-related acquisitions, maintenance service charges, and the related billings to various departments. City/District staff seeks confirmation to proceed with preparing the Information Technology Fund budget based on the recommendations and allocations contained in the staff report or as otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors. The total Information Technology internal service charges for FY 2022-2023 will be a decrease of $80,370 (or 3.24%) compared to FY 2021-2022, totaling $2,403,528. The overall decrease is related primarily to lower cost capital replacement projects planned for FY 2022-2023 compared to those in FY 2021-2022.
11. Building Maintenance Fund
The Building Maintenance Fund is for management, maintenance, janitorial service, and some capital replacement for all City/District buildings and building-related equipment. City/District staff seeks confirmation to proceed with preparing the Building Maintenance Fund budget based on the recommendations and allocations contained in this report or as otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board of Directors. One impact is the appropriation of funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives. These funds are available and budgeted in the Building Maintenance Fund. The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2022-2023 is $800,000. The second and third impact is the transfer of funding for replacement cost of building items and the cost of the Building Maintenance operation, which is distributed among the various departments and funds based upon allocations that are determined by square footage of building space. The total recommended transfer for 10 future replacement of building components is $485,261. Whereas, the total recommended transfer to fund the Building Maintenance operation is $2,920,602. The FY 2022-2023 Building Maintenance Fund budget reflects an increase of approximately $448,443 (or 0.7%) compared to FY 2021-2022, totaling $3,720,602. The increase is due to a combination of reasons including an increase in personnel costs and overhead charges, an increase of scheduled building replacement projects, and an increase of equipment-related costs.
12. Compensated Absences Fund
The Compensated Absences Fund is for vacation and sick leave benefits which have monetary value and must be paid out to employees upon separation of employment in accordance with the terms of an existing memorandum of understanding or compensation and benefits plan. City/District staff seeks confirmation to proceed with preparing the Compensated Absences Fund continuing the current compensated absences accrual rate of 3.25% in order to maintain an adequate reserve balance through FY 2022-2023. The resulting FY 2022-2023 Compensated Absences Fund charges to the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are estimated to be $557,850 and $3,186 respectively, for a total of $561,036. This represents an increase of $66,668 (or 13.5%) compared to FY 2021-2022.
13. Longevity Recognition Benefits Plan and Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) Benefits Plan
The Longevity Recognition Benefits Plan Fund is for benefits paid to retired employees in accordance with benefit plans approved in labor contracts and/or compensation and benefits plans, funded by charges to operating departments based on salary costs. Whereas the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) Benefits Plan Fund is for benefits paid on behalf of retirees participating in the CalPERS’ PEMHCA medical benefits plan. In order to fund each Plan’s benefits, the City Council/EMID Board previously established Internal Service Funds and authorized transfers from the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, and other Internal Services funds to the Longevity and PEMHCA Internal Service Funds. Internal service charges are assessed to the applicable departments “receiving” the Longevity and/or PEMHCA benefit. City/District staff seeks confirmation to include an appropriation request of $229,320 and $178,927 respectively in the FY 2022-2023 proposed budget for projected benefit and actuarial services expenditures in the Longevity Recognition and PEMHCA 11 Benefits Plan. The proposed FY 2022-2023 expenditure budget for the Longevity Recognition and PEMHCA Benefit Internal Service Funds are $238,320 and $229,706 respectively. The proposed Internal Service charges to City departments are $229,320 and $220,706 respectively, which represents no increase and an increase of $15,396 respectively compared to FY 2021-2022. Additionally, City/District staff is seeking the City Council/EMID Board's interest in establishing and funding an Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Trust (i.e. IRC Section 115 Irrevocable Trust).
MASTER FEES AND SERVICE CHARGES SCHEDULE
14. Updates to Master Fees and Service Charges Schedule for FY 2022- 2023
The City/District charges fees to the community based on the costs of services provided. These fees are documented in the City/District’s Master Fees & Charges Schedule. The Master Fees & Charges Schedule is approved annually by the City Council/EMID Board, and individual fees may be amended from time to time during a fiscal year.
City/District staff recommends that most fees be raised by 4% based on the higher costs of providing services by the City/District; which is driven primarily from increased personnel costs, as well as the cost of supplies and services that support the delivery of those services to the community. As detailed in the staff report or otherwise directed by the City Council/EMID Board, the updates to the Master Fees & Charges Schedule includes the Community Development Department
recommending modifying the existing General Plan and Zoning fee in order to accumulate resources to do a future comprehensive update of the General Plan, in addition to the Parks and Recreation Department proposing 1) Bocce Court rental rate amendment from $20/hour to $26/hour; 2) new outdoor volleyball court rental fees at Catamaran Park and Boothbay Park of $26/hour and 3) a new fee structure for Leo J.
Ryan Park amphitheater rentals.
SPECIAL REPORTS
15. Project Recommendations from the Community Beautification Subcommittee
City staff has provided an informational report outlining the Community Beautification Subcommittee's project recommendations for improving the City’s physical image and appearance. Some of these 12 recommendations are already programmed in existing or proposed Capital Improvement Projects. Whereas some may be maintenance- related or may require further discussion as possible future projects.
16. Community Benefits Fund
City staff has provided a supplemental report with the intent of full transparency and is seeking direction regarding the uses of Community Benefits Fund money, including direction on appropriation of funding for the FY 2022-2023 budget, and focus areas for consideration of Community Benefits Fund use. The Community Benefits Fund will have approximately $1.21 million available on June 30, 2022. Staff has identified projects appropriate for use of Community Benefits Fund money to be carried out in FY 2022-2023 and is requesting City Council input on the appropriation of $520,000 from the Community Benefits Fund to be included in the FY 2022-2023 budget.
CONCLUSION
Based on the policy direction received at this budget study session, City/District staff will prepare the preliminary budget documents for City Council/EMID Board of Directors consideration at the Budget Study Session on May 9, 2022. The culmination of the budget process will be the adoption of the final FY 2022-2023 Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan, which the City Council/EMID Board of Directors will consider at its June 20, 2022 regular meeting.

Mayor and Members of the City Council
President and Members of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Board of Directors
VIA: Kevin Miller, Interim City/District Manager
FROM: Louis Sun, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: FIVE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – FY 2022- 2023 TO FY 2026-2027
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council/EMID Board of Directors review the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program – FY 2022-2023 to FY 2026- 2027 - and authorize City/District staff to include the program in the FY 2022- 2023 budget as presented, adjusted, and recommended.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As part of the City/District’s Annual Budget process, City/District staff prepares a Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan consisting of projects to maintain and enhance the City/District’s infrastructure of roadways, sidewalks, utilities, structures, and facilities for the benefit of the community. Because the costs of such improvements are usually significant, the plan anticipates future costs and sets forth a financial strategy to fund each project over a five-year period.
The proposed five-year capital improvement plan for the period starting FY 2022-2023 is comprised of funding for thirty-six (36) projects. 14 BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The proposed FY 2022-2023 to FY 2026-2027 CIP plan consists of new funding for thirty-six (36) open and new projects over the next five years from various funding sources. The plan is organized into categories including Building, Parks, Stormwater/Lagoon, Streets/Traffic, Water, and Wastewater Projects.
The plan consists of twenty-six (26) new projects and ten (10) existing projects, including the the Wastewater Treatment Plant Master Plan Improvements Project. Twenty (20) currently open projects, including the multi-year Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project, are on the workplan with no additional funding required.
The City Council approves the appropriation of funding on an annual basis.
Table 1 provides a summary of the FY 2022-2023 projects that are recommended for appropriation and their identified funding sources.

STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE
Attachments 1 and 2 provide a financial summary and narrative description of the proposed Five-Year Capital Improvement Program Plan.
Attachment 3 shows the prioritization of the thirty (30) open and on-going CIP projects and five (5) new priority projects proposed for FY 2022-2023.
Completing and closing these projects is a top priority for the Public Works Department as additional priority projects have been identified in the five (5) and fifteen (15) year timeframes, including a major new lagoon dredging project.
While the Engineering Division does rely on consulting services for some technical assistance, City staff is key to managing maintenance and Capital Projects Citywide. Maintaining staffing levels has been a major factor over the past two (2) years in the Department’s ability to execute, complete and close projects. The Human Resources and Public Works teams continue to work to recruit for and fill key vacancies that are essential to the Capital Project process.
While all of the projects are important, of specific note are the placeholders for the Lagoon Dredging Project in FY 2027-2028 for $300,000 and FY 2028-2029 for $2,000,000. Staff will be evaluating the need to accelerate this project, and may propose moving the $300,000 into the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget in order to start the minimum two-year planning process for this significant project.
The planning process will include securing environmental clearance, finalizing 16 project design, identifying solutions for spoils disposal, completing all legal requirements and acquiring right of entry agreements with waterfront property owners. Also part of this planning process will be to develop a firmer cost estimate, which is likely to be orders of magnitude larger than the $2,000,000 placeholder. The last lagoon dredging project cost around $5,000,000 and was completed in 2005.
Also of special note, the Recreation Center Replacement Project funding has not been shown in the Capital Improvement Plan, but will be added based upon City Council approval of the funding. The Project is prioritized in the workplan as shown in Attachment 3, and a draft project timeline is included in Attachment 4.
As part of the FY 2022-2023 proposed budget, Public Works Department is recommending the addition of two positions, an Associate Engineer and a Senior Engineering Technician that will be part of a core team to manage the three major CIP projects.

(CIP 301-677, Budget $120,000) Library Exterior Wall Sealing and Tile Installation (2017-2018) The project will permanently address water infiltration that has occurred from the exterior into the Library building interior on the southwest wall of the building. The infiltration is most likely due to the failure of joint sealant at the exterior wall/foundation joint and the earth mounded against the exterior wall above that joint.
Water intrusion has been significantly addressed by removing soil from around the southwest wall of the building. In addition, the roots of the trees adjacent to the north wall of the library have damaged the building which has contributed to the water intrusion.
This project consists of the removal of earth around the building, sealing the wall, installing wall drain and drainpipes, removing tiles, re-grading the earth around the exterior of the building, removing trees, and installing new landscaping and sidewalk on the north side of Civic Center Drive.
Similar work was performed to cure water infiltration issues on the northwest wall of the building and staff re-landscaped the adjacent area into an attractive drought tolerant and water efficient habitat garden to attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds.
The soil removal and landscaping will be performed in-house by staff. A consultant will develop project plans and specifications to seal the wall and install appropriate drainage from the building and incorporate the hardscape improvements.

(CIP 301-694, Budget $475,000) Dynamic Signage for Traffic Relief Pilot Program (2019-2020) To address concerns regarding cut-through traffic on East Hillsdale Boulevard during peak evening commute hours, on December 17, 2018, the City Council approved the implementation of a Traffic Relief Pilot Program (TRPP) for a three-month trial period.
On February 11, 2019, staff implemented the TRPP which restricted left turns from east-bound East Hillsdale Boulevard at the intersections at Edgewater and Shell Boulevards during peak evening commute hours from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday (excluding major holidays). The pilot program involved staff manually shutting down the lanes nightly by placing cones to delineate the closed lane; stationing a vehicle in the turn lane; and staffing the lanes to prevent eastbound traffic from making left turns during the restricted period. The personnel costs are not sustainable on a long-term basis.
This next phase of the project includes (1) installing permanent dynamic signage at each of the two intersections that activate during the turn restriction period and (2) adding lighted signage.
On August 19, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2019-084 authorizing the permanent implementation of the Traffic Relief Pilot Program (TRPP) and appropriated $225,000 from the CIP City Fund for the design and construction of the permanent improvements.
A contract in the amount of $31,500 was awarded to Traffic Patterns for professional engineering design services. Design was completed in May 2020. On June 15, 2020, approval of the plans and specifications and a request to call for construction was sought. To minimize construction delays and contractor mark- ups, the dynamic signage and traffic signal poles were to be procured by the City ahead of time. However, it was placed on hold due to reduced traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 29, 2021, the hold was removed during the Special City Council Meeting and authorization was given to procure the dynamic signage equipment and traffic signal poles.
On May 4, 2021, staff had received bids from two vendors for the acquisition of the signage equipment and poles and was approved to order them. An additional $250,000 was requested using SB1 Funds and accepted by the City Council via Minute Order No. 1765. 29 Attachment 1

THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT BUDGETING PROCESS
As part of the City’s Annual Budget and Five Year Financial Plan process, the City prepares a Five Year Capital Improvement Project Program. A Capital Improvement Program consisting of several Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) is a plan for capital expenditures to provide for the acquisition, expansion or rehabilitation of an element of the City's physical plant to be incurred over a fixed period of several future years. Examples of such projects include:
•Street pavement projects
•City facilities construction / refurbishment
•Park infrastructure improvements (e.g., paving basketball courts, walkway construction or rehabilitation) •Water valve or pipe replacement
•Sewer Lift Station refurbishment
Because the costs of such improvements are usually significant, the City prepares a Five Year Capital Improvement Project Program so it can anticipate future costs and funding strategies for projects.
CIP Planning Process
Identifying CIP Projects
Throughout the fiscal year, City staff members continually monitor the functional status and performance of all of the City’s infrastructure. Maintenance activities supporting City infrastructure are documented and analyzed to determine if rehabilitation or replacement is necessary. In addition, throughout the year, policy direction from the City Council may be received to construct, enhance or rehabilitate City facilities. Staff makes note of these projects and begins to define the scope, nature and extent of projects as may be required.
In January of each year, under the direction of the City Manager, staff members assemble to kick-off the Five Year CIP planning process. Updates on CIP projects currently underway are prepared for City Council review in a February study session. Existing projects on the previous year’s Five Year CIP Plan are reviewed and updated. Staff also begins the process of formally identifying, for consideration by the City Council, any new CIP’s which were not on the list in the previous year.
Cost Estimates
Over the next few months, staff develops a draft CIP Plan. Upon identifying the scope and nature of each project, staff begins to prepare cost estimates of the projects. Projects which come up within the next 1-2 years have detailed engineers’ cost estimates prepared for purposes of determining the total costs of the projects. Projects which are 3-5 years out have less detailed cost estimates prepared, but they are sufficient in detail to give an overall order-of-magnitude cost estimate for planning purposes. This is performed for both newly identified projects and projects that are being updated from the previous year’s Five Year CIP Plan.
The City builds in an inflationary factor for cost estimates that are 2-5 years out. Inflationary factors can range anywhere from 2% to 10% per year. Assumptions are made based upon the historical trends and future expectations of raw materials and labor costs for projects. For example, projects that have significant 37 Attachment 1
FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program Page 20 2/14/2022 16:52 amounts of steel or oil products may have a high inflationary factor due to the price increases experienced and forecasted for those raw materials. On the other hand, projects which entail dirt and sod may yield lower inflationary factors.
Cost estimates also include contingency factors that can range from 10% to 25% based upon the historical experience of similar projects and the relative uncertainty with respect to the project itself. For example, a construction project built upon ground that is suspected to have hazardous materials may yield a higher contingency factor than a relatively simple replacement of walkways in a park. Staff exercises significant judgment based upon its professional experience in determining both inflationary and contingency factors.
Cost Components
Staff develops separate cost components for the design phase and the construction phase of a project, where necessary. For larger projects, the construction phase may also be split into separate components for project identification and manageability. In this way, the costs can be identified based upon the timing for each phase of the project. Cost estimates are then prepared and time-activated based upon each component of the project, as described above.
Funding Sources
Once the costs have been identified and projected, a financial analysis is prepared to determine whether or not the projects can be funded. Consideration is given to a variety of sources of funds including:
• Grant funds
• Revenues dedicated for such purposes (e.g., Measure A funds for street improvements) • Park In-lieu fees
• Water and Wastewater revenue rate projections
• Interest earnings
• Existing undesignated funds
Development of Five Year Plan
Funding sources are then compared to project cost estimates to develop the Five Year CIP Plan. The timing of the various projects is taken into consideration given the status of the existing infrastructure, risk management considerations, Council Policy Calendar initiatives, bidding environment, and available funding.
Once the draft plan is created, it is presented to the City Council at a Study Session that is typically held in late March. Council then provides direction on each of the projects within the plan and any changes are incorporated into a revised Five Year CIP Plan. In April, the Planning Commission reviews the proposed Capital Improvement Program for consistency with the General Plan. Any updates requiring further discussion are provided once again to the City Council at its May Budget Study Session.
The Council then holds a Public Hearing on the budget, which includes the Five Year CIP Plan, normally on the first Monday in June. Subject to any public testimony and final Council direction, the final Five Year CIP Plan is prepared, and the project costs associated with any projects which are funded in the next fiscal year are appropriated by the City Council as part of the adoption of the Annual Budget. 38 FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program Page 21 2/14/2022 16:52

LIBRARY EXTERIOR IMPROVEMENTS AND RE-LANDSCAPING (FY 2017-2018) Project Category: C
Project Description:
The project addresses water infiltration from the exterior of the Library building into the Library building interior. The infiltration is most likely due to the failure of joint sealant at the exterior wall/foundation joint and the earth mounded against the exterior wall above that joint. Buildings are typically designed with a minimum of 6 inches of clearance between that joint and the top of earth/landscaping. Addressing the water infiltration problem includes removing earth around the building, sealing the wall, and installing wall drain and drainpipes.
Similar work was performed to cure water infiltration issues on the northwest wall of the building and staff re-landscaped the adjacent area into an attractive drought tolerant and water efficient habitat garden to attract pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds.
Water intrusion has been significantly addressed by removing soil from around the southwest wall of the building, however, some sealing and additional grading is advised and the area around the building will require re-landscaping. In addition, the roots of the trees adjacent to the north wall of the library have damaged the building which has contributed to the water intrusion. These trees will be removed and replaced with a less intrusive species. In addition to re-landscaping, new sidewalk on the north-side of Civic Center Drive will be constructed to connect to the sidewalk that is adjacent to the Library on Shell Boulevard.
The soil removal and landscaping will be performed in-house by staff. A consultant will develop project plans and specifications to seal the wall and install appropriate drainage from the building and incorporate the hardscape improvements and potential green infrastructure.

FUEL SYSTEMS IMPROVEMENTS (FY 2021-2022)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The City has an unleaded fuel system and a diesel fuel system located in the Corporation Yard. The unleaded fuel system provides fuel for the vehicles and equipment of the City and Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID). The diesel fuel system provides fuel to the vehicles, equipment, the lagoon pump engines, and the emergency generator for the Corporation Yard and Lift Station 59. The diesel fuel system also stores fuel for the emergency generators at EMID’s 48 lift stations. Fuel is trucked to lift stations as needed. These systems also have the potential to provide fuel to the San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department in emergency situations.
There are four existing fuel systems that are at the end of their useful life at the following locations:
1. Two – 10,000 gallon underground storage tanks (UGSTs), holding unleaded gas for City vehicles with two fuel dispensers located at the Corporation Yard near Lincoln Centre Drive and installed in the early 1990’s.
2. Two – 5,000 gallon above ground storage tanks (AGSTs) in a covered, concrete vault immediately adjacent to and west of the lagoon pump station building, which provide diesel fuel for vehicles and equipment via a single fuel dispenser and for the day tank inside the pump station, also installed in the early 1990’s.
3. One 210-gallon day tank for diesel fuel, installed in the early 1960’s located inside the lagoon pump station building, which provides fuel to the lagoon pump engines and the Corporation Yard emergency generator and Lift Station 59.
4. One underground storage tank that holds diesel fuel for the emergency generator at Lift Station 29.
Staff identified the need to replace the fuel systems due to safety, environmental, and regulatory compliance concerns. In addition, replacement parts for the dispensers are not readily available as the dispenser manufacturer is no longer in business, and the current Petro Vend fuel control software is no longer supported. Furthermore, SB445, requires the permanent closure of single walled underground storage tanks by December 31, 2025.
The project scope includes (1) removal and replacement of the unleaded and diesel fuel systems and tanks at the Corporation Yard; (2) replacements of all or part (dispensers, electrical, software) of the unleaded and diesel fuel systems; and (3) replacement of the day tank in the lagoon pump house.
A contract was awarded to Tait Environmental Services, Inc. on February 11, 2021, in the amount of $44,527 to perform an assessment of the City’s fuel systems and provide replacement and rehabilitation 41 FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program Page 24 2/14/2022 16:52 alternatives, and address permitting and soil remediation. A technical memorandum has been developed outlining recommendations for improvements including construction cost estimates.

INSTALL REAR SECURITY GATES (FY 2022-2023)
Project Category: C
Project Description:
When the Government Center was constructed, signage was placed at the access points to the parking lot behind City Hall, the Police Station and the Fire Station to indicate that access was for authorized vehicles only. At that time, the possibility of future gate installation was considered likely.
This project was originally scheduled for Fiscal Year 2018-2019, but was pushed back as the adjacent 15-acre site was developed and then the project was closed in Fiscal Year 2021-2022 due to revenue impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, consistently over the years and in increasing volumes, staff has observed general public pedestrian and vehicle users accessing the driveway. With the occupancy of the 15-acres, even more throughway access has been observed.
Security of this area is important for a number of reasons. Most significantly, pedestrians and unauthorized vehicles present a hazard to themselves and to public safety vehicles that are quickly departing the stations. In addition, this area is designated for parking for both City vehicles and 24-hour personnel that can be the targets of vandalism or theft of sensitive and expensive equipment.
This project includes purchase and installation of the gates, loop detectors, UL-required safety devices and local controls as well as electrical and concrete work required to facilitate installation, which could include curb modifications, center island construction and trenching/back filling for power and control wiring.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM UPGRADES (FY 2020-2021)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The City’s traffic signal system was evaluated as part of the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Intersection Evaluation Study (CIP 301-664). This part of the study focused on inventory of the existing traffic signal infrastructure network and identified opportunities to improve efficiency through either equipment or operations enhancements. This project is built upon recommendations from CIP 301-664 and will include the following tasks for design and construction.
1. Citywide Communications Upgrade
The City’s existing traffic signal communications network is in need of an upgrade to help modernize its infrastructure. The current system operates over twisted-copper pair cables using 9,600-baud modems. The communications upgrade will bring the City’s network to current standards, which will allow more flexibility with traffic operations enhancements such as improving traffic flow along the East Hillsdale Boulevard, Foster City Boulevard, and Edgewater Boulevard corridors. Upgrade options may include Ethernet over copper upgrade with some cellular improvements, an upgrade to fiber optic cables to maximize broadband capabilities, or a hybrid approach.
2. Traffic Signal Field Hardware Upgrade
• Vehicle & Pedestrian Signal Heads Replacement
• Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) Replacement
• Traffic Signal Cabinets Upgrades and retrofits onto existing cabinet foundations
3. Traffic Signal Controllers Replacement
The traffic signal controller is considered the “brain” of the signalized intersection and processes detection inputs from the field and sends out signals to turn on and off the traffic signal indications.
These field units communicate with the Central Computer System located in the Public Works Engineering office. The City uses a modern controller from Trafficware but the field hardware is reaching the end of its useful life.
4. Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) – Central Computer System Upgrade This component communicates to the traffic signal controllers and stores data for traffic signal timing development. A new system will provide an enhanced user interface.
Funding for the design and construction of the traffic signal system upgrades in this project will be provided by a combination of City CIP and Measure W funds. Total funding in excess of $8 million will be required to implement and fully fund the design and construction of the traffic signal system upgrades. The project 54 FY 2022-23 Capital Improvement Program Page 37 2/14/2022 16:52 will be deferred until FY 2025-2026 to allow for cash reserves from non-General Fund funding sources to accumulate and lessen the burden on the General Fund.
The City needs to consider how best to upgrade its network and potentially introduce enhancement of additional City services. Due to the complexity of the project, a technical memorandum will be prepared by a professional traffic engineering consultant, that will compare the various upgrade alternatives and associated costs, provide recommendations for the preferred system based on the City’s current and future needs, recommend a phasing plan for design and construction of the improvements, and prepare a schedule for implementation.

STREET REHABILITATION (FY 2021-2022)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
Ongoing maintenance of the public streets is essential. This project is intended to repair/resurface public streets. To implement this ongoing program in the most cost-effective manner, a Pavement Management Program (PMP) is used. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P-TAP) provides the City with various resources to better understand its pavement condition including the PMP. Through the P-TAP, pavement consultants are hired to inspect City streets and update the PMP database every two to three years. The streets selected for the next CIP project are determined primarily through the PMP program analysis. The program also helps determine the most cost- effective treatment to extend the life of the roadway. The normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays. The project also includes curb and gutter replacement and sidewalk repairs on the streets that are being repaired. Sharrow symbols/legends will be incorporated in this project as appropriate.
As part of P-TAP, the City also receives a budgetary need analysis report based the most recent pavement inspections, treatment costs, and various budget scenarios. The ideal pavement strategy is to increase the network average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 81 to 83 and maintain it over a five-year period.
Based on the 2018 report, the analysis of this strategy indicated a need for an amount of approximately $1,500,000 budgeted annually for the next five years.
Federal and state transportation grant funding is used when available. Future multi-year funding is proposed to assure availability of local matching funds to maximize grant eligibilities. Funding for the local share of the project will be provided by Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, SB 1, and/or Measure W.
The design and construction of the project will be combined with the Park Pathway Restoration Project (CIP 301-702) which addresses needed repairs to asphalt pathways within various parks. Combining the projects will improve bid pricing and allow for project delivery efficiencies. Funding of the two projects will be tracked separately.

STREET REHABILITATION AND PARK PATHWAY RESTORATION (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
Ongoing maintenance of the public streets is essential. This project is intended to repair/resurface public streets.
To implement this ongoing program in the most cost-effective manner, a Pavement Management Program (PMP) is used. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (P- TAP) provides the City with various resources to better understand their pavement condition including the PMP.
Through the P-TAP, pavement consultants are hired to inspect City streets and update the PMP database every two to three years. The streets selected for the next CIP project are determined primarily through the PMP program analysis. The program also helps determine the most cost-effective treatment to extend the life of the roadway. The normal repair methods include crack seal, slurry seal, dig-out repairs, and surface overlays. The project also includes curb and gutter replacement and sidewalk repairs on the streets that are being repaired. Sharrow symbols/legends will be incorporated in this project as appropriate.
As part of P-TAP, the City also receives a budgetary need analysis report based the most recent pavement inspections, treatment costs, and various budget scenarios. The ideal pavement strategy is to increase the network average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) from 81 to 83 and maintain it over a five-year period. Based on the 2018 report, the analysis of this strategy indicated a need for an amount of approximately $1,500,000 budgeted annually for the next five years.
Federal and state transportation grant funding is used when available. Future multi-year funding is proposed to assure availability of local matching funds to maximize grant eligibilities. Funding for the local share of the project will be provided by Measure A, Measure M, Gas Tax, SB 1, and/or Measure W.
The design and construction of the project will include up to $300,000 in park pathway restorations, which address needed repairs to asphalt pathways within various parks. Resurfacing park pathways on an on-going basis keeps them in good repair, adds to the general surface life, and prevents major repairs or replacements from becoming necessary. Maintenance activities that keep the paths in good condition include removing and replacing failed and root-damaged asphalt and installing root barrier, slurry seal, and, if needed, line striping. Funding for the pathways portion of the project will be provided from the General Fund.

BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (FY 2024-2025) Project Category: C
Project Description:
In January 2018, Fehr & Peers performed a Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Intersection Evaluation Study (CIP 301-664) to help the City evaluate and determine the current traffic and transportation facilities and potential for improvements. As part of the study, Fehr & Peers performed an assessment for the four schools in Foster City to identify improvements to provide more comfortable bicycle and walking routes to school. A report was generated that describes citywide travel behavior trends for school trips and then provides a site assessment for each of the four Foster City schools, including cost estimates for suggested enhancements.
Some of the report recommendations have already been implemented.
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Project analyzes the remaining enhancements identified for each of the four Foster City schools to meet the City’s goals for pedestrian safety. The newly constructed Beach Park School would be included in the assessment. Some suggested enhancements include physical changes to the roadway, curb/gutter, or sidewalk, striping, and signage modifications. A consultant would review and analyze the assessment, perform field inspections, and perform additional traffic studies to develop project plans and specifications to implement the enhancements and the potential to implement complementary improvements such as green infrastructure (eg. stormwater treatment within curb extensions).
An RFP for assessment and design will be issued in 2024. Construction is anticipated in 2025.

SEISMIC IMPROVEMENTS AT LAGOON PUMP STATION (FY 2022-2023) Project Category: A
Project Description:
The lagoon pump station located at the City/District’s Corporation Yard, houses two (2) engines/pumps used to pump lagoon water into the bay to control the water level in the interior lagoon. A seismic vulnerability assessment of the building by G&E Engineering systems, Inc. was completed in 2013. The report concluded that the building met the seismic code and recommended various improvements that included: (1) reinforce the door frame, (2) isolate the tidal channel walls from the building to prevent differential settlement, (3) install flexible connections to the underground utilities entering the building to allow movement during earthquake, and (4) secure equipment within the building to minimize damage during a seismic event.
Since the 2013 assessment was conducted, there have been various changes in requirements and standards for evaluating existing structures. On April 20, 2020 Murray Smith, Inc. was retained to update, evaluate, and validate the findings in the G&E report, and make recommendations for options for repair and improvement.
In addition, additional deterioration of the facilities has occurred. The report recommended that additional structural evaluation of the lagoon pump station building and the below water structures be performed based on current building code standards. This includes further structural investigation and analysis of the lagoon walkway, channels, trash rack, and foundation to determine potential structural deficiencies. As this is outside of the scope of this study, a new CIP-Lagoon Intake Structure and Pump Station Building Rehabilitation Project (FY 2022-2023) has been created to address an in depth evaluation of the building.
This project will address the following improvements identified in the G&E report and validated by Murray Smith:
1. Isolate the tidal channel walls from the building to stop and prevent differential settlement.
2. Install flexible connections onto the underground utilities entering the building to allow movement during earthquakes.
3. Secure equipment within the building to minimize damage during a seismic event.
In addition, this project will install a temporary walkway over the existing walkway which was identified by staff and Murray Smith as deteriorating, with spalling concrete and rusting reinforcing steel (re-bar). All or a portion of the walkway that extends over the water on the south side of the building will require permanent replacement which will be studied as part of the new CIP-Lagoon Intake Structure and Pump Station Building Rehabilitation Project (FY 2022-2023).

LAGOON INTAKE STRUCTURE AND PUMP STATION BUILDING REHAB STUDY (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will address improvements at two locations supporting the operation of the lagoon system:
1. Replace the intake gates on the lagoon side of the intake structure near Wheel House Lane; and
2. Provide for above and below grade improvements to the lagoon pump station building at the City’s Corporation Yard.
Water from the San Francisco Bay flows through the intake structure located near the end of Wheel House Lane into the lagoon. In 2018, as part of CIP 301-629, the three (3) exterior gates on the Belmont Slough side of the lagoon intake structure were replaced. The interior gates were constructed in the early 1960’s and are starting to fail along with the concrete wall. These reinforced concrete structures are exposed to the salty water and air of the Bay, which causes the reinforcing steel to corrode. The corroding reinforcing steel causes concrete to spall.
The lagoon pump station located at the City/District’s Corporation Yard, houses two (2) engines/pumps used to pump lagoon water into the bay to control the water level in the interior lagoon. It was constructed in the early 1960’s and is one of the oldest City-owned buildings. Water flows through the culverts under the lagoon pump station building and is pumped into the Bay from the Lagoon Pump Station Building. In several locations, significant amounts of concrete have spalled away which adversely affects the structural integrity of certain elements of the facilities. In addition, numerous structural code changes have been adopted since the design of this building.
In a report prepared by Murray Smith, Inc. in May 2021, as part of CIP 690-Sesimic Improvements project, recommendations were made to perform a future in-depth evaluation of the building to include additional structural evaluation of the lagoon pump station building and the below water structures based on current building code standards. The recommendation included further structural investigation and analysis of the lagoon walkway, channels, trash rack, and foundation to determine potential structural deficiencies with the intent to replace.
This project will provide for a seismic analysis of the building including recommendations for structural improvements required to meet current standards. Based on the analysis, a construction budget will be identified, and any additional funding requests will be brought back to the City Council.

ADD THIRD LAGOON PUMP AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project provides for the removal of 2 non-functioning lagoon pump engines, impellers, shafts, and associated plumbing that were abandoned in place when the two current pumps were installed in 2001, so that a third functioning lagoon pump may be installed.
Studies have shown that from 1974 to 2019 storms have become more severe due to climate change effects, resulting in more severe and frequent storms. This project will add a third pump to the existing lagoon pump station which would provide the City with the redundancy to reduce the risk of flooding should a failure occur to one of the two existing pumps during a severe storm and high tide condition.
The two existing lagoon pumps were replaced in 2001 and are 20 years old. Although the useful life is approximately 35 years, if one were to fail, it could take several weeks to repair. Adding a third pump would allow for uninterrupted operation, redundancy, staggered replacement of the lagoon pumps, and provide maximum protection against the potential for flooding and property damage.

WATER TANKS AND FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS (FY 2019-2020)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
Foster City’s water storage tanks provide emergency supply storage, as well as storage for peak use periods and firefighting needs. Three tanks are welded steel structures and are approximately 150 feet in diameter and 30 feet in height. The fourth tank is reinforced concrete.
On April 4, 2020, the District Board authorized the combining of the Water Tanks Improvements Project (which was comprised of CIPs 405-660, 405-670, and 405-688) with 405-687 Seismic Improvements at Water Booster Pump Station project; and renaming the project CIP (405-660) - Water Tank and Facilities Improvements Project.
The scope of work of the combined project consists of:
1.Remove and Recoat Water Tanks Project (formerly CIP 405-660) This project consists of refurbishing the 3 steel tanks by repairing corroded steel and applying new coating to the interior and exterior surfaces.
2. Water Quality Dosing and Tank Improvements Project (formerly CIP 405-670) Due to the most recent drought and required State mandated water use reductions, the District’s current water use is at 1990 levels. Due to the reduction in water consumption and reduced demand during the winter months (2-3 MG per day), water remains in the storage tanks for longer periods resulting in a drop in water quality.
To continue to maintain high water quality at the storage tanks without reducing water storage in the winter months, this project consists of the installation of water mixing devices inside the 3 steel tanks to prolong water quality within the tanks and system wide.
3.Seismic Improvements at Water Tanks 1, 2, and 3 Project (formerly CIP 405-688) A seismic vulnerability assessment performed by G&E Engineering Systems, Inc. in 2013 identified the need for various flexible couplings on the drainpipes of Tanks 1 & 2 to address seismic improvements needed. This project will address the recommendations in the 2013 report by seismically retrofitting the existing drainpipes or installing a new drainpipe at the side of the tanks.
4.CIP 405-687 - Seismic Improvements at Water Booster Pump Station Project A seismic vulnerability assessment of the Water Booster Pump Station completed in 2013 by G&E Engineering Systems, Inc. resulted in recommendations to improve the building. This project includes reinforcing the door frame of the roll-up door to prevent deformation during a seismic event and the installation of flexible connections on the underground utilities entering the building to allow differential movement during a seismic event.

CHLORINE ANALYZERS AND AUTOFLUSHERS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will address water quality issues that Foster City experiences in winter months. This project provides for the design and construction of chlorine analyzers and automatic flushers throughout Foster City. EMID purchases water treated with a disinfectant agent (chloramine) from the SFPUC. Chloramine disinfection is more environmentally friendly but presents operational challenges for distribution system operators. If chloramine is allowed to remain in the distribution system for a lengthy period, the disinfectant can degrade, adversely affecting water quality.
Successful water conservation efforts over the past years have reduced water demand, and as a result, water is subject to “aging” in the distribution system. In the winter months, when water demands are low, and irrigation use is down, staff has observed chlorine residuals falling to actionable levels, forcing staff to flush hydrants to stimulate water circulation to increase the disinfectant levels in the water system, This project will install automatic flushers and chlorine analyzers at various key locations throughout the City. The chlorine analyzers will measure the level of disinfectant in the water in problem areas. At a specified threshold, the analyzers will trigger the automatic flushers to flush water through the system until the chlorine residuals are back to a safe level. The installation of chlorine analyzers and automatic flushers will save staff time in having to flush water mainlines manually, also saving the City funds in labor costs.

PERMANENT EMERGENCY BYPASS TRANSMISSION MAIN ON EAST THIRD AVENUE (FY 2025- 2026)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
This project will improve water supply reliability and redundancy and minimize water service interruptions in a catastrophic seismic event. The District’s 24-inch water transmission main pipeline is the sole source of potable water for the City and is attached to the Seal Slough Bridge. Seal Slough Bridge was built in the 1930’s and is used as a pedway only. The bridge is aging and could fail in the event of an earthquake and with it, the District would lose its primary water supply.
As part of CIP 636-Water System Improvements and Valve Replacements Project, two 12-inch emergency water bypass connections, with isolation valves and fittings were constructed on the transmission main beyond the ends of the bridge to provide a means of restoring water service quickly in the event of the bridge and pipeline failure. The project includes the purchase of 1,250 feet of 12-inch temporary bypass piping that would be stored at the District’s Corporation Yard and assembled by staff quickly (within 1-2 days) in an emergency to restore flow until the transmission main could be repaired.
This project is a continuation of CIP 636, as it provides for the construction of a permanent bypass pipe to be attached to the adjacent bridge on East Third Avenue and joined at the second bypass connection that was constructed as part of CIP 636. The permanent bypass pipe would provide a redundant water supply immediately and increase efficiency and speed of response during an emergency.

COATING ON 24-INCH TRANSMISSION MAIN AT SEAL SLOUGH BRIDGE (FY 2026-2027) Project Category: B
Project Description:
The project will address the application of coating on the 24-inch transmission main line attached to the Seal Slough Bridge. An inspection of the pipeline will be performed, followed by preparation of a technical memorandum recommending removal and coating alternatives, and regulatory permitting requirements, including cost estimates for the pipe preparation and coating application. Design and construction will follow.
The Foster City/EMID 24-inch water transmission main is attached to and runs the length of the Seal Slough Bridge. This steel line is exposed to the elements of the bay. Through the years of exposure to sun and saltwater air along the bay shore, the original protective coating is showing signs of age and corrosion and the pipeline requires recoating to prolong its life. This transmission line runs over the San Francisco Bay and will require procurement of regulatory permits for work over the waterway.

SHELL BRIDGE SANITARY SEWER FORCE MAIN REHABILITATION (FY 2022-2023) Project Category: A
Project Description:
During a routine maintenance inspection, a leak was discovered on the 16” steel force main attached to the Shell Boulevard Bridge. A small crack was identified on the top side of the pipe. Express Plumbing, Inc. (EPS) was hired to perform a temporary emergency repair. While prepping the pipe to install a full circle repair clamp to stop the leak, the crack deteriorated further creating a 12-inch diameter hole on the top side of the pipe. The repairs were completed in February 2021 and included the in-house replacement of the air release valve located on the force main at the high point on the bridge.
This force main was originally constructed in the 60’s. It is a critical facility which delivers over 500,000 gallons of sewage (approximately one quarter of the wastewater generated in the District) daily to the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant. The localized failure of the pipe and air release valve is due to the corrosive environment of wastewater and repeated exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. Other portions of this main may have similarly deteriorated and be vulnerable to failure.
This project provides for an assessment, design, and replacement/rehabilitation of the force main on Shell between Catamaran and Bounty Drive.

SANITARY SEWER LIFT STATION IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 6 (FY 2023-2024) Project Category: A
Project Description:
The project is part of a multi-phase program started in 2000 to rehabilitate EMID's sanitary sewer lift stations. The lift station improvement projects take place every three to four years. The projects include preventative maintenance and upgrades to improve the reliability, durability, and sustainability of the lift stations. Lift stations in the District pump sewage from the low points in the collection system to manholes at higher elevations. The project addresses deficiencies at Lift Stations 11, 13, 29, and 42. Lift station improvements generally include repairing the interior wet wells; replacing critical components, and electrical improvements including installation of additional systems to remotely monitor and control the lift stations.
This project includes the removal of the single walled underground storage tank that holds diesel fuel for the emergency generator at Lift Station 29 in the Bank of America parking lot at the northeast corner of East Hillsdale Boulevard and Edgewater Boulevard.
Eight additional “hot spot” manhole replacement projects have been included for replacement. These manholes operate as force main collectors, receiving sewage flow from various lift stations and require replacement. During the condition assessment performed as part of the Wastewater Master Plan, Manholes 29-07, 18-01, 16-17, 14-02, 22-18, 22-19, 37-11, and 29-31 were witnessed to operate under turbulent conditions during force main discharge cycles. Replacement of these manholes and the intercepting piping will enhance station reliability and public safety.

SANITARY SEWER MANHOLE REPLACEMENTS (FY 2024-2025)
Project Category: A
Project Description:
The project is a continuation of the District's on-going program to repair and replace elements of the sanitary sewer collection system to extend the useful life of the system. The project is comprised of replacing 14 manholes identified in the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan.
Replacement of manholes is typically required due to: (1) the settlement of manholes which adversely affect the connecting pipes and sewage flows; (2) the deterioration of the manhole due to the corrosive gas produced by sewage; and/or (3) the scouring of receiving manholes at the end of a force main, due to the velocity of sewage pumped from the lift station via the force main pipeline.

WW-06 (NEW CIP)
OVERFLOW, REDUNDANCY, BYPASSING AND BACKUP POWER STUDY (FY 2026-2027) Project Category: B
Project Description:
Most EMID lift stations were constructed between the mid-1960’s and the mid-1970’s. The criticality of each existing lift station varies depending upon its relative position within the network, the expected flow rate of influent sewage, and the station’s existing structural and mechanical capacities. Various lift stations throughout the City are equipped with gravity overflow facilities or emergency generators to establish collection system redundancy and to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
This project will provide for a complete system analysis to determine areas within the District’s collection system that are currently unprotected or minimally protected by existing overflow, redundancy, bypassing, and backup power features as identified in the Wastewater Collection Master Plan completed in 2020. This analysis will take into consideration existing gravity overflow piping systems; permanent and portable emergency generators and connections and whether generator fuel capacity meets the minimum 12-hour run time requirement; and bypassing connections to identify collection system vulnerabilities in the event of a power outage and under wet-weather conditions.
This analysis will drive the prioritization of further redundancy measures and develop a cost/benefit analysis of those improvements. Based on the analysis, a construction budget will be identified and additional funding requests for construction will be brought back to the District Board.

SUBJECT: LONG-TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
PROGRAM AND FUNDING PLAN - CITY CAPITAL
INVESTMENT FUND - FY 2022-2023 TO FY 2036-2037
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on the funding strategy for the Long-Term Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the City’s Capital Investment Fund (also known as the Capital Projects Fund) and the list of CIP projects over the next 15-year period.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2010, the City Council approved a funding strategy for its CIPs in the form of a Long-Term CIP Funding program. This program has historically analyzed potential future CIP projects over a 10-year capital expenditure forecast and funds those needs on an annual basis at 1/10th of the unfunded capital expenditures obligation. This was approved recognizing that the City does not anticipate the magnitude of previous one-time revenues or redevelopment agency funds to be available in the future, and in recognition of its “pay-as-you- go” approach to funding capital projects. The City prefers not to use debt financing for its capital projects unless it is necessary due to the magnitude of the project (e.g., Levee Protection Planning and Improvements Project, CIP 327-657). As part of its budget discussions last year, City Council directed staff 96 to expand the 10-year forecast to 15-years effective FY 2022-2023. As a result, City staff has implemented this change.
The prudent accumulation of Capital Investment Fund reserves over the past years is projected to produce a $17.4 million Reserve Balance (inclusive of a $2 million emergency reserve and a $10 million placeholder for Levee Project cost overrun above $90 million) by June 30, 2022. Based on a planned $40.6 million of CIP projects over the next seven years through FY 2028-2029 (excluding the Levee Project which is debt funded), staff recommends “freeing” up the $10 million placeholder for the Levee Project to support these other essential City CIP projects. This will result in annual General Fund transfers of $3.5 million over the next seven fiscal years followed thereafter by eight years of $2.5 million annual transfers, as anticipated projects diminish during the last half of the 15-year CIP Plan.
To prepare the recommended CIP, City staff performed its annual long-term review and made appropriate modifications to the funding amounts and timing of future projects. Projects have been analyzed in two categories based on their separate funding sources:
City Capital Investment Fund (City CIP Fund) – includes projects such as bridges, lagoon structures, levees, parks, and buildings, which are funded from General Fund sources.
Streets-Related Funding – includes streets and traffic signal projects, which are funded first through sources from Measure A, Gas Tax §2103, Measure M, SB 1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account), and Measure W funds.
The analysis for City CIP Fund Projects and Street-Related Projects takes into consideration the existing fund balance resources projected to be available as of June 30, 2022, based on the latest estimates of CIP activity through the end of the current fiscal year and projected revenues available from applicable revenue sources. The analysis for the City CIP Fund ensures that the reserve balances stay above the minimum $2 million emergency reserve level while the Streets-Related Funding analysis has no minimum reserve level policy established, since City CIP Funds can be drawn for those purposes in an emergency.
The City’s CIP projects over a 10-year time horizon are increasing from $63.3 million to $68.9 million with parks projects accounting for $30.9 million of the $68.9 million total. These park projects do include $2.05 million in ancillary 97 funding from Park In Lieu fees and $1.22 million from the Equipment Replacement Fund. Building projects total $6.56 million and include HVAC improvements, roof replacements, fuel system improvements, government center rehabilitation, security gates, and elevator renovations. A third lagoon pump with related infrastructure has been added as a Lagoon Project for FY 2023-2024.
The Streets-Related Funding analysis indicates there are sufficient revenues to fund the forecasted 10-year projects and to maintain the City’s PCI (Pavement Condition Index) rating of 82.
BACKGROUND
The City Council has made it a priority to ensure that the City’s infrastructure is well-maintained on an ongoing basis. Such proactive maintenance and repair of infrastructure ensures that key systems are operating at peak levels, promotes safety, provides for a continuity of services to the community, maintains property values, and maintains the quality of life that the community has come to expect.
When the City was newer, capital improvement efforts included the construction of new infrastructure. Now that the City is at build-out and 50 years old, there has been a transition from new construction to proactive preventative infrastructure maintenance, which affects the types of project and how those future CIP programs are funded to prioritize minimizing the potential for emergency repair situations.
Maintenance vs. CIP
Managing the City’s infrastructure manifests itself in the following ways:
Proactive Maintenance – The preventative maintenance efforts of the City’s Public Works and Parks Maintenance crews on an ongoing basis reduce the overall future costs of City infrastructure. These ongoing operating costs offset the magnitude and expense of future infrastructure replacement projects.
New Infrastructure or Significant Infrastructure Replacement Projects – In some cases, there may be CIP projects that would create new infrastructure or projects that are considered so significant in nature that the entire infrastructure is replaced or built anew. 98 Recurring Capital Improvement Projects – Some CIPs are considered “recurring” and amount to significant repair work, such as street overlays, park turf replacement, and levee maintenance. The underlying infrastructure is still usable, but these larger maintenance efforts help extend the useful lives of that infrastructure.
The first category, Proactive Maintenance Activities, is budgeted in the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments' annual operating budgets in the General Fund.
In FY 2012-2013, the City Council approved a new Capital Asset Acquisition and Replacement Fund (CAARF), funded from the sale of the 11-acre site of the North Peninsula Jewish Campus and subsequent sale of the 15-acre site of the Foster Square project. The CAARF may be used to fund new infrastructure or significant infrastructure replacement projects, thus providing funding for the second category. In fact, the City Council provided direction in early 2022 on a $55 million build-to-budget Recreation Center rebuild project using $36 million from CAARF and the remaining $19 million from General Fund Reserves.
Projects in the final category, Recurring Capital Improvement Projects, are funded from either recurring revenue sources (e.g., Measure A, Gas Tax, Measure M, SB1, Measure W), or are otherwise funded from the City’s General Fund resources as transfers out to the City CIP Fund.
Exclusion of Enterprise Fund Assets
This report excludes the long-term CIP funding of Water and Wastewater system related projects for two primary reasons: (1) such projects are analyzed as part of the 15-year rate model process for each enterprise fund; and (2) the District Board has the opportunity to include such replacements when establishing water and wastewater rates. A separate report addresses the Water and Wastewater CIPs and capital funding.
ANALYSIS
Approach
City staff has updated the Long-Term CIP Funding analysis in light of current maintenance efforts, assessment of replacement requirements, and replacement costs in the following seven (7) categories:
99 Streets – including pavement management efforts (e.g., arterial and collector street overlays) and sidewalks, curbs, and gutters Bridges – including bridges and approaches owned by the City, and only bridge approaches for those overcrossings not owned by the City (i.e., E. Hillsdale Boulevard/Marina Lagoon overcrossing, Foster City Boulevard/92 Overpass, Vintage Park/92 Overpass)
Lagoon Structures – including bulkheads, dredging, boat ramps, culverts, inlets, and storm water pumps
Levee – including the levee infrastructure
Parks – Park infrastructure including hardscapes, landscaping, restrooms, lighting, irrigation systems, and permanent park structures such as tennis and basketball courts. It also includes the medians and cul-de-sacs maintained throughout the City
Street Lights, Traffic Signal, and Crosswalk Systems – physical light and signal structures, controllers, and systems
Buildings – including the Government Center campus, Recreation Center campus, and the Corporation Yard (structures associated with parks are included in Parks above)
Assumptions
Funding Sources
In each category, initial assumptions were made as to the funding sources of various assets. Funding of asset components that are through other sources (e.g. developer fees) were excluded from the analysis. If an asset replacement value was considered so significant that the only effective financing option was to use debt financing (e.g., replacement of City Hall or the voter approved G.O.
Bond funding of the Levee Improvement Project), those assets were also excluded. Assets excluded in each category (including the assumed alternate funding source in parentheses) were as follows:
Streets – LED signal faces and signal controllers, pedestrian LED and appurtenances, backlit street signs (ERF), and traffic improvements as part of the Multi-Project Traffic Improvements Project that are fully funded by developers of the respective projects
Bridges – None
Lagoon – Lagoon itself, shorelines, rip-rap, and retaining walls (debt financing); pump stations, gates, trash racks and flappers (ERF) 100
Levee – Complete rebuild or raising of Levee infrastructure to address sea level rise (debt financing)
Parks – Complete park rebuilds “from the ground up” (potential debt financing)
Buildings – Minor replacement projects (Building Maintenance Fund) Expenditure Assumptions
The key expenditure assumptions were:
Recurring Projects – projects considered recurring in nature (as discussed previously) are based upon replacement values, which were reviewed and updated from the prior year’s analysis, where necessary.
All values were expressed in terms of today’s replacement value, and then rolled forward using an inflationary index (below) based on the estimated useful life of the asset.
Inflation – A 9% to 10% inflation factor was generally used based upon CPI indices, Construction Cost Indices for the Bay Area, and experiences in bidding projects of similar type.
Revenue Assumptions
Key revenue assumptions that affect funding sources are as follows:
City Capital Investment Funding (Attachment 1)
Park-In-Lieu Fees – A $2.05 million designation from Park-In-Lieu Fund Balance is included for the Boothbay Park improvements project for FY 2025-26.
Donations from Youth Sports Groups – $115,750 of donation reimbursements over the next seven years from various sports groups for Sea Cloud Park project are included in the 15-year CIP plan. Grants – The Public Works and Parks Department routinely seek grants to supplement funding of its projects. Until grant funds are identified for various projects and are reasonably expected to be available, additional grant funds are excluded from this analysis.
Streets-Related Funding (Attachment 2)
Measure A – This is a sales tax-based allocation. An assumption of $749,800 in FY 2022-2023 revenue is based on current collections with 2% annual growth.
101
Gas Tax Section 2103 Funding – Revised estimates are based on the Gas Tax Swap legislation approved by the State in 2010, which swapped Prop 42 funding into the Gas Tax funding stream. Gas Tax (Sections 2105-2107) revenues are used to fund Public Works street maintenance operations, but Section 2103 funds must be used for roadway improvements and other transportation initiatives. Revenues for FY 2022-2023 are estimated to be $259,600 based on forecasts from the State and projected to increase 2% annually thereafter. Measure M – This measure, passed by voters in San Mateo County in November 2010, implemented a $10 fee added to vehicle license registrations of County residents for 25 years starting April 2011. Staff is projecting to receive $109,500 in FY 2022-2023 and an additional 2% annually thereafter. Funds are administered by C/CAG and are provided on a reimbursement-basis. These funds may be used for such things as pavement resurfacing, pothole repair, signs and striping, traffic signals, street sweeping, storm-inlet cleaning, and local shuttles.
SB 1 (Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account) – In 2017, the State passed the Road Repair and Accountability Act providing funding for local streets, roads, and other transportation uses. The funding was through a 12-cent per gallon increase to the gasoline excise tax and an additional 20-cent per gallon increase to the diesel excise tax, both of which took effect on November 1, 2017. An additional vehicle registration tax called “Transportation Improvement Fee” with rates based on the value of motor vehicles took effect on January 1, 2018. FY 2022-2023 SB1 revenues to the City are estimated at $637,100, with projected annual growth of 2% thereafter. Measure W – Measure W was passed by the voters of San Mateo County in November 2018. The measure took effect on July 2019 and is estimated to bring approximately $352,500 to Foster City in FY 2022-2023 and can be used to support traffic and traffic congestion relief related initiatives.
Grants – Until which time grant funds are identified for various projects and are reasonably expected to be available, grant revenues are excluded from this analysis.
15-Year Cash Flow Methodology
Foster City uses a funding methodology that looks at the total replacement value of assets which are scheduled to be replaced in the next 15-years, and then averages the replacement amount over the 15-year window. The funding 102
amounts are then compared to the available fund balance reserves and anticipated future revenues.
For the City CIP Fund, a minimum emergency reserve requirement for capital improvement projects is $2 million. There is no such reserve requirement for Street-Related Funding. The analysis also takes into consideration the projected Fund Balance in the Park-In-Lieu Fund to ensure that those funds are only spent on projects related to new parks or projects that increase the capacity of park amenities.
To the extent that there are not sufficient resources available from reserves and projected future revenues to maintain minimum reserves in the respected funding analysis, a transfer is identified from the City’s General Fund to ensure that the minimum fund balance reserve is met each year.
City Capital Investment Funding
Public Works, in consultation with the Parks and Recreation Department, prepared the 15-year project list considering replacement value, timing, and necessity. In the attached analysis, City staff recommends $3.5 million of annual General Fund transfers to the City Capital Investment Fund through FY 2028-2029, followed by $2.5 million annually thereafter for the remaining eight years of the 15-year forecast. This approach allows the City to maintain the minimum $2.0 million reserve and provide capacity for additional CIP projects.
Streets-Related Funding
In the attached analysis, there are sufficient revenues and existing reserves to fund future street projects. Accordingly, no annual funding requirement is needed from the City’s General Fund for Street-Related projects over the 15- year horizon.
Key Changes from the Prior Year (Attachment 4)
Based on direction from the City Council, the 10-year CIP model has been expanded from 10- to 15-years starting this budget cycle. For comparison purposes, fund requirements are increasing from $63.32 million to $68.9 over a 10-year period and to $88.1 million over a 15-year period. Staff approached programming the 15-year period by continuing to add the necessary projects beyond the 10-year period by another five years.
103
The approximately $19 million variance from the 10-year to the 15-year period is attributed to $7.5 million in street resurfacing projects, $10 million in parks projects, and $2 million in building maintenance projects. Certain projects are recurring as scheduled maintenance, such as the street resurfacing, roofing, synthetic resurfacing and turf replacement projects.
The CIP includes a total of $40.8 million over the 15-year period for parks projects, many of which have been identified previously, with the understanding that these projects will need to be evaluated as part of the Parks Master Plan Study. Staff recommends that projects such as the Boothbay Park Family Playground and Picnic Site Improvements Project ($8 million) and many others be reconsidered and reprioritized after the Park Master Plan Study is completed.
Information about the detailed calculations performed and the 15-year projects are found in Attachments 1 to 8 to this report.
City staff seeks City Council direction for implementing the long-term funding strategy for the City’s capital projects and feedback on the list of staff-identified CIP projects.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Based on a planned $40.6 million of CIP projects over the next seven years through FY 2028-2029 (excluding the Levee Project which is debt funded), staff recommends “freeing” up the $10 million placeholder for the Levee Project and direct staff to include annual General Fund transfers of $3.5 million over the next seven fiscal years followed thereafter by eight years of $2.5 million annual transfers.

(2) - Measure A revenues are projected to reach $735,100 in FY 21/22 and then increasing 2% annually thereafter (4) - Measure M revenues were the result of a transportation revenue measure passed by the voters of San Mateo County in November 2010. The measure is estimated to bring approximately $107,400 to Foster City in FY 21/22 and can be used to support transportation related initiatives. A 2% annual growth factor is assumed for this revenue stream. (7) - There is no separate minimum fund balance reserve established by City Council policy regarding streets related projects. The City has a $2 million minimum Capital Investment Fund Balance reserve for emergency contingencies. (3) - Gas Tax - Section 2103 funds are related to the Gas Tax Swap approved by the State in 2010 which replace the Prop 42 monies dedicated to roadway improvements and other transportation projects. Based on the January 2021 State estimates, the City is projected to receive $254,500 in FY 21/22. Staff is estimating these revenues to grow by 2% annually. (5) - SB 1 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) taxes and fees were enacted into law on April 28, 2017. Effective November 1, 2017, SB 1 receipts from the taxes and fees will be deposited into the RMRA. These funds will be apportioned annually to cites and counties by the State Controller's Office for road maintenance and rehabilitation. Estimated revenues for FY 21/22 are $624,600.
(6) - Measure W revenues were the result of a transit and traffic congestion relief revenue measure passed by the voters of San Mateo County in November 2018. The measure took effect on July 2019 and is estimated to bring $345,600 to Foster City in FY 21/22. These monies can be used to support traffic and traffic congestion relief related initiatives. A 2% annual growth factors is assumed for this revenue stream.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) - This analysis identifies the total annual estimated project costs for funding asset construction and/or replacement over a 10-year forecast. (2) - The cash flow requirements for each year are carried forward to the Fund Balance Analyses in Attachments B and A, respectively. (3) - The City is upgrading its levee system to meet new FEMA flood hazard standards at an estimated cost of $85 million. In June 2018, Foster City voters approved Measure P, a $90 million General Obligation Bond ballot measure to pay for this project.
Based on better than expected construction bids, the City updated its total project cost in 2020 to $85 million and issued GO Bonds for that amount. Since this project will be debt financed; it's excluded from the City CIP Funding Model. 108

Based on modeling using the Pavement Management Technical Assistance Program (PTAP), the annual funding is needed to achieve the City's average PCI at 83 over the CIP term is $1,500,000. This funding also includes $300,000 annually for four years, to upgrade parks pathways, a reduction from the previously programmed 10 years.
Minor updates to timing and cost of projects, not significant Parks and Recreation staff forecasts that $30.9 million in parks projects are needed over the course of the next 10 years.
No additional changes to future funding requests for CIP 698 Traffic Signal Upgrades Project. $250k was funded in FY 21-22 for CIP 694-TRPP; and $1M was funded in FY21-22 for CIP 681- 4 new Traffic Signals.
No change from prior estimates. Staff estimates $850,000 is needed for inspections, design, repairs, and maintenance of the City's four bridges (Bicentennial, Foster City, Rainbow, and Shell) over the course of FY 23/24 to FY 24/25. (Pushed back from FY 22/23.)

PROGRAM AND FUNDING PLAN - WATER AND
WASTEWATER ENTERPRISE FUNDS - FY 2022-2023 TO FY
2036-2037
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the EMID Board of Directors provide direction on the funding strategy for the Long-Term Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds and the list of CIP Projects over the next 15-year period.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2010, the EMID Board approved a funding strategy for its Water and Wastewater CIPs in the form of a Long-Term CIP Funding program. This program has historically analyzed potential future CIP projects over a 10-year capital expenditure forecast period and funded those needs on an annual basis at 1/10th of the unfunded capital expenditures obligation. This was approved in recognition of the District’s “pay-as-you-go” approach to funding capital projects. The District prefers not to use debt financing for its capital projects unless it is necessary due to the magnitude of the project (e.g., the Wastewater Treatment Plant project aka WWTP). As part of its budget 114
discussions last year, the District Board directed staff to expand the 10-year forecast to 15 years effective FY 2022-2023.
District staff reviewed the long-term CIP analysis and made some modifications in regards to the funding amounts and timing of future projects and in consideration of the 5-Year Capital Improvement Project Plan proposed under a separate Agenda item this evening. The Capital Improvement Reserve balances in both the Water and Wastewater funds have been taken into consideration in determining the funding necessary to ensure that the reserve balances stay above the minimum $2.0 million emergency reserve level in both Funds.
With the completion of the 15-year CIP for the Water and Wastewater enterprises, staff identified $4.875 million of Water CIP projects over the next two years through FY 2023-2024. As a result, staff recommends scaling Water CIP funding to $2.5 million in FY 2022-2023, $1.75 million in FY 2023- 2024, before leveling it at $1 million for the remaining 13 years of the 15-year CIP Plan.
In the Wastewater Enterprise, staff has identified $18.07 million of CIP projects (including that portion of the WWTP project that is cash funded) over the next three years through FY 2024-2025. As a result, staff also recommends scaling CIP funding to $5.25 million over those three years before leveling it to $2.1 million for the remaining 12 years of the 15-year CIP Plan.
The District is responsible for 24.12% of the cost of the joint Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) project, with the City of San Mateo responsible for the remaining 75.88%. The joint WWTP is an aging infrastructure and the City of San Mateo is under a 2009 cease and desist order for sanitary sewer overflows. As a result, San Mateo, as the lead agency for the project, is currently undertaking a 10-year integrated Wastewater Master Plan (Clean Water Program) for the rehabilitation of the WWTP for which the District will be responsible for its proportionate share of costs of approximately $153 million based on the January 2022 update from San Mateo. Much of these costs require debt financing. Thus far, the District has secured wastewater revenue bonds, Wastewater Revenue Notes, and a WIFIA (Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act) loan for the project. Additional financing in the form a CA Water Board State Revolving Fund (SRF) is currently being evaluated. The debt service costs associated with the financing for the WWTP project are expected to be recovered over time 115
through increases to the District’s wastewater rates. All of the above items have been incorporated into the FY 2022-2023 Water and Wastewater Rate Models that are also on the agenda for consideration this evening.
BACKGROUND
The EMID Board of Directors has made it a priority to ensure that the District’s infrastructure is well maintained on an ongoing basis. Such proactive maintenance and repair of infrastructure ensures that key systems are operating at peak levels, promotes safety, provides for a continuity of services to the community, maintains property values, and maintains the quality of life that the community has come to expect.
In the District’s early years, capital improvement efforts were primarily focused on the construction of new infrastructure. Now that the District is at build-out, there has been a transition from new construction to infrastructure maintenance (with the exception of the WWTP project). This affects how we characterize and fund future CIP programs.
Maintenance vs. CIP
Managing the District’s infrastructure manifests itself in the following ways:
Proactive Maintenance Activities – The preventative maintenance efforts of the District’s Maintenance crews on an ongoing basis reduce the overall future costs of District infrastructure. These ongoing operating costs offset the magnitude and expense of future infrastructure replacement projects.
Recurring Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) – Some CIPs are considered “recurring” and amount to significant repair work, such as pipe repairs, water valve replacements, and water tank lining and coating projects. The underlying infrastructure is still usable, but these larger maintenance efforts help to extend the useful lives of the underlying infrastructure.
Infrastructure Replacement/Construction Projects – Other CIPs are considered so significant in nature that the entire infrastructure is replaced or built anew. An example of this is the Lift Station rehabilitation projects.
116
The District has historically considered the latter two categories (Recurring CIPs and Infrastructure Replacement/Construction) as Capital Improvement Projects, and has funded these projects out of specifically designated CIP funds within each respective Enterprise fund. The District has also incorporated long-term CIP projects in its rate models so that the burden of such projects can be planned for and incorporated into the rate structure to mitigate the impact on customers over a longer period.
ANALYSIS
Approach
The District hired Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) to update the water and wastewater rate model to include the fiscal impacts of the WWTP project on the Long-Term CIP Funding analysis and in light of current maintenance efforts, assessment of replacement requirements, and replacement costs in the following categories:
Water System
Fire Hydrants – these important safety amenities are included in the water operations
Water Infrastructure – this includes pipes, valves, seismic retrofits, water tank improvements (not replacement), and other elements of the delivery of water from the point of the District’s water structures to delivery at customers’ properties
Water Structures – this includes the four (4) water tanks and the booster pump station located at the Corporation Yard
Wastewater System
Pipelines – the primary means of collecting wastewater from customers and transporting it to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in San Mateo
Valves – which serve as critical junction and shutoff points within the system
Lift Stations – since Foster City is relatively flat, Lift Stations and their accompanying generators assist wastewater to flow through the system to the wastewater treatment plant where gravity would otherwise serve this purpose
117
Parallel Force Mains – critical elements at key points that connect the lift stations together in one system
Next, District staff considered the level of maintenance and serviceability of capital assets in order to determine the appropriate estimated useful lives of each asset. District staff also considered the relative costs associated with such maintenance to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such maintenance efforts.
Assumptions
Funding Sources
In each category, initial assumptions were made as to the funding sources of various assets. It is unlikely that very many new infrastructures, other than the WWTP will be constructed. Nevertheless, any new construction, such as the WWTP, is assumed to be funded from new sources (e.g., debt financing, development fees). In addition, if an asset replacement value was considered so significant that the only effective financing option was to use debt financing (in the form of bonds, federal and state programs, bank loans, etc.), or if those assets were funded from other sources (e.g., Equipment Replacement Funds), those assets were excluded. Assets excluded in each category (including the assumed alternate funding source in parentheses) were as follows:
Water System
Fire Hydrants – hydrants do not typically call for replacement; operating funds are used to replace hydrants which are damaged or require repair
Valves – CIP funding is needed to replace, rehabilitate or repair various infrastructure elements such as pipes, valves, and other elements mentioned above when necessary; system wide
replacement of each element type is not anticipated short of a catastrophic event
Water Structures – water tanks have very long lives; lining in the three steel tanks requires CIP funding approximately every 15 years Water Meters – funding for meters that are replaced as part of CIPs is included in the analysis. Some water meter replacements that are 118
in the Equipment Replacement Fund or replaced during maintenance operations are not considered as part of this analysis
Wastewater System
Pipes – CIP funding for pipes requiring rehabilitation or repair; system-wide replacement of pipes is not anticipated short of a catastrophic event
Valves – valve replacement costs are included in CIP plans. Lift Stations – lift station rehabilitation projects require CIP funding; generators, their transfer switches, and portable generators are funded through Equipment Replacement funds and are not
considered as part of this analysis
Parallel Force Mains – force main replacement requires CIP funding Wastewater Treatment System (WWTP) – rehabilitation that San Mateo is undertaking under its 10-year integrated Wastewater Master Plan (Clean Water Program) for which the District will be responsible for its proportionate share of costs of approximately $153 million.
Expenditure Assumptions
The key expenditure assumptions were:
Replacement Values – replacement values were reviewed and updated from the prior year’s analysis, if necessary. All values were expressed in terms of future replacement, taking into consideration factors such as inflation (see below), project size, timing of replacement/repair/rehabilitation, and construction contingency funding.
Inflation – A 9% to 10% inflation factor was generally used based upon CPI indices, Construction Cost Indices for the Bay Area, and experience in bidding projects of a similar type.
Revenue Assumptions
In both the cases of Water and Wastewater rates, CIP funding is considered as part of the “fixed costs” of each system and is included in the existing rate model which projects costs over a 10-year period using a “pay-as-you-go” philosophy. The rate model does not reflect the actual 5-Year or 15-Year CIP 119
expenditures on CIPs; rather it reflects the annual planned funding from this 15-Year analysis.
15-Year Capital Expenditure Funding Methodology
The District uses a funding methodology that looks at the total replacement value of assets which are scheduled to be replaced in the next 15-year window, and then averages the replacement amount over the 15-year window. The Public Works Department prepared the 15-year project list considering replacement value, timing, and necessity.
Based upon District staff’s review of the components of the 15-Year CIP funding needs, the scenario generates an annual CIP amount averaging $1.14 million for Water Infrastructure, and $2.78 million for Wastewater Infrastructure (excluding WWTP, which is currently funded by various debt issuances).
This funding amount is then compared to the available fund balance reserves, and those reserves are compared to the cash flow requirements to fund projects in the 15-year forecast. The EMID Board of Directors' minimum emergency reserve requirement for capital improvement projects is $2.0 million each for the Water Capital Investment Fund (aka Water Capital Improvement Projects Fund) and the Wastewater Capital Investment Fund (aka Wastewater Capital Improvements Project Fund), respectively. The 15- Year Fund Balance analysis then reduces the 15-Year Average CIP funding to maintain the Capital Investment Reserves in each fund comfortably above the $2 million minimum reserve threshold over the 15-year forecast.
In the attached analysis, the Water Capital Investment funding requirement is heavy in the first two years with $4.875 million of recommended projects. Therefore, the proposed annual funding for the Water program is $2.5 million in the first year, $1.75 million in the second year, followed by $1.0 million for the remaining 13 years. The proposed annual funding for the Wastewater program is also scaled due to the value of projects in the first three years of the 15-year CIP Plan. As a result, the annual funding for the first three years is $5.25 million before leveling down to $2.1 million for the following 12 years. Since the WWTP is a shared project with the City of San Mateo and is currently funded by wastewater revenue bonds and notes, followed by a WIFIA loan in subsequent years, District staff has intentionally 120
segregated it in the 15-year analysis and excluded the financed portion of the project from the Reserve funding.
Key Changes from Prior Year’s Analysis
Key changes in this year’s analysis from the prior year’s analysis include:
Staff approached programming the 15-year period by continuing to add the necessary projects beyond the 10-year period by another five years while making adjustments to projects previously proposed in the 10-year period as needed.
Projects that recur as scheduled maintenance are programmed into the CIP on a regular basis as required.
The detailed calculations performed and the list of 15-year projects are found in Attachments 1 to 6 to this report.
District staff seeks EMID Board direction for implementing the long-term funding strategy for the District’s (Enterprise) capital projects and feedback on the list of staff recommended CIP projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
Based upon the 15-year CIP analysis, staff identified $4.875 million of Water CIP projects over the next two years through FY 2023-2024. As a result, staff recommends scaling Water CIP funding at $2.5 million in FY 2022-23, $1.75 million in FY 2023-2024, before leveling it at $1 million for the remaining 13 years of the 15-year CIP Plan.
In the Wastewater Enterprise, staff has identified $18.07 million of CIP projects (excluding the debt financed portion of the WWTP project) over the next three years through FY 2024-2025. As a result, staff also recommends scaling CIP funding at $5.25 million over those three years before leveling it at $2.1 million for the remaining 12 years of the 15-year CIP Plan.
The Capital Improvement Reserve balances in both the Water and Wastewater funds have been taken into consideration in determining the funding necessary to ensure that the reserve balances stay above the minimum $2.0 million emergency reserve level in both Funds. 121

This strategy identifies the average annual cash flow requirements for funding asset replacement over a 15-year forecast. (1) The District and the City of San Mateo are undertaking the rehabilitation of its jointly owned wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located in San Mateo. Under the terms of the Joint Powers Agreement, EMID is responsible for 24.12% and the City of San Mateo is responsible for 75.88% of the WWTP costs. The estimated District apportionment of total project cost is $153.6 million through FY 26/27. The project requires debt financing including the issuance of Revenue Bonds and anticipated WIFIA loans. Debt service costs are expected to be recovered over time through increases to the District's wastewater rates.
(2) The District is able to pay some joint WWTP costs from its Operating Fund working capital instead of using financing as a result savings from lower than anticipated interest rates on its debt. (3) The District also has EMID only costs consisting of consultants (EKI, Hydroscience, etc.) and legal counsel. 126

DATE: March 28, 2022
TO: President and Members of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Board of Directors
VIA: Kevin Miller, Interim District Manager
FROM: Louis Sun, Public Works Director
Edmund Suen, Finance Director
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PROJECTED WATER RATES FOR FY 2022-2023
AND POLICY DIRECTION FOR RATE NOTIFICATION UNDER
PROPOSITION 218
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Board of Directors review and discuss the proposed water rates for FY 2022- 2023 based on a conservation-based rate model with two rate tiers and by Minute Order provide direction on the issuance of a notice to all rate payers under the requirements of Proposition 218 for a public hearing to be held on June 6, 2022.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The EMID water enterprise is in good financial shape, its water service rates remain below the average rates compared to other agencies on the Bay Area Peninsula, and it is debt free. As of July 1, 2021, the Operating Reserve balance was $7,293,780, to be used in case of an operational emergency or to smooth any “rate shocks” to water customers.
However, as much of EMID’s infrastructure enters its fifth decade in service, some of its components are nearing the end of their expected service life. In 129
Fiscal Year 2019-2020, the District completed a 20-year master plan study which identified and prioritized projects for a 20-year time horizon. The costs for recommended projects have been incorporated into the 10-year Water Enterprise projections and the rate model developed by consultant Bartle Wells Associates (BWA). The recommended water rates would provide sufficient revenue for necessary maintenance, operations, and capital improvements for the five -year period including FY 2022-2023.
Table 3 from the Appendix C of the Bartle Wells Associates Rate Study Results Memo (Attachment 1) shows the proposed water rates for FY 2022- 2023 and a projection of future water rates necessary to support the operation. As seen in the table, water bills are composed of two components, a fixed monthly charge based on meter size, plus a water consumption charge based on each customer’s metered water use. The fixed monthly charge corresponds to the cost to provide the infrastructure for water delivery to customers, based upon the size of the meter.
Table 5 from Appendix C of the Bartle Wells Associates Rate Study Results 130
Memo (Attachment 1) provides more information about how the proposed new rates impact ratepayers in FY 2022-2023 and projects the impact into the future. The primary driver for the proposed rate increases is to smooth District rate increases due to projected increases in the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wholesale water rate. The proposed water rates are designed to cover District operating and capital costs and maintain the operating fund above target levels.
Based upon the EMID Board of Directors’ policy direction this evening, the District will mail a notice to all ratepayers prior to the April 23, 2022, statutory deadline for a public hearing to be held on June 6, 2022 to consider the new rates. If adopted, the new rates will go into effect on July 1, 2022.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The District currently provides water service through approximately 8,206 water service and fire protection service accounts/meters. Most of the District’s customers are residential.
The primary drivers for the proposed FY 2022-2023 rates include the following:
Cost of Wholesale Water from the San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC). The primary driver for the proposed rate increases is to smooth District rate increases due to projected increases in the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wholesale water rate. The SFPUC, the sole source of water supply for the District, is projecting the current rate of $4.10 in FY 2022 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) will increase to $4.75 in FY 2023 and $5.28 in FY 2024. The proposed water rates are designed to phase in District rate increases 131
over time to avoid sharp increases.
Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) Surcharge. The District will continue to make annual payments to BAWSCA for capital improvement costs associated with the $4.8 billion Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) to upgrade the Hetch Hetchy Water System. For FY 2022-2023, the payment will be $699,284. For rate setting purposes, the BAWSCA Bond Surcharge is estimated at $0.38 cents per ccf. The San Francisco portion of the WSIP is 100% complete as of October 2020. The Regional Portion is approximately 99% complete. The current forecasted date to complete the overall WSIP is May 2023, however SFPUC operating costs and debt service are projected to increase over the next five years. System Water Losses. Water utilities incur real losses from pipeline leakage and apparent losses when customer water consumption is not properly measured or billed. The current water rates are based on
11.0% water loss based on the Water Division’s records. While the consultant indicated that this water loss percentage is within a normal range, the water master plan completed in FY 2020-2021 has identified projects which are expected to reduce these losses to below 10%. The proposed water rates are designed to cover the water loss and fund projects that reduce water loss.
Capital Funding. EMID's strategy for funding long-term capital water improvements calls for an annual transfer from water operating revenues to the City's Capital Improvement Fund to fund those projects over the next 10 years. The proposed rate projections include the increase in capital set aside from $680,000 in FY 2022 to $2,500,000 in FY 2023, $1,750,000 in FY 2024 and $1,000,000 per year thereafter. Conservation Costs. District staff is recommending that the EMID Board of Directors maintain the current allocation of $200,000 to the Water Sustainability Rebate Program for FY 2022-2023 to support voluntary water conservation efforts and the District water leakage detection and repair program.
Operational Costs. Draft operations and maintenance projections assume 4.0% annual increases in personnel costs and 2.5% annual 132
increases in all other costs (excluding wholesale water purchases) to keep revenues in line with operating expenses.
Water/Wastewater Rate Assistance Program
In Rate Year 2020-2021, the District Board approved an assistance program for customers whose income also qualified them for Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) discount program.
While it is not possible to know exactly how many households qualify, based upon the number of customers enrolled in the PG&E CARE program, BWA estimates that approximately 227 customers may potentially be eligible for the up to $15 per month discount. Currently there are eleven (11) customers enrolled in the program. Participation in the W/WRAP program is supported by non-rate sources of revenue such as fines and penalties, to maintain compliance with California Proposition 218, so water rates are unaffected by participation in the program.
The cost of the W/WRAP program based on current enrollment is $1,980 per year. The maximum potential cost of a $15/month discount for all estimated 227 eligible customers is $41,000 per year. Through the first eight months of FY 2022, revenue from delinquent water payments totaled $23,600, which is sufficient to fund the program. Staff will continue to monitor the funding sources available for the program.
The Rate Assistance Program has been authorized by the City Council on an annual basis, and authorization to continue the program will be on the agenda with the consideration of rates in June.
Rate Smoothing
The EMID Board of Directors has implemented a long-term rate smoothing model that takes into consideration the long-range wholesale water rate projections by the SFPUC and significant capital improvements that have a profound impact on rates, such as the WSIP program. The rate smoothing model attempts to maintain revenue increases at no greater than 10% per year. The proposed FY 2022-2023 rates use a 15-year model, which has proven to be successful in dampening the impacts of significant rate increases imposed by the SFPUC on the ratepayers.
133
Rate Survey
A survey of communities along the San Francisco Peninsula was conducted to compare the District’s typical residential monthly water bill with neighboring communities. The results of the survey are summarized in the Water Rate Survey Comparison Chart that appears as Appendix B in Attachment 1.
Including the recommended increase, the average monthly water bill proposed for Single Family customers using 8 ccf of water per month in FY 2022-2023 is $74.85. Since it is unknown what the comparator agencies will be proposing for FY 2022-2023, the District compares its current monthly residential water bills for FY 2021-2022 to the current rates of the neighboring agencies. The survey indicates the District's water rates remain among the lowest on the Peninsula. For FY 2021-2022, the average monthly water bill for the region (based on 8 units of water for monthly usage) is $94.83 per month and the District’s FY 2021-2022 average monthly residential water bill is $72.16 per month, or about 24% less than the current average of neighboring communities.
Proposition 218 Notification
District staff requests that the EMID Board of Directors review the information prepared by BWA and staff and provide direction regarding water rates for FY 2022-2023. Based on that direction, District staff will prepare a notice that will be mailed to all ratepayers on or before April 23, 2022, in compliance with the provisions of Proposition 218. A public hearing on and adoption of the proposed rates will be agendized for the June 6, 2022 EMID Board of Directors regular meeting in conjunction with the FY 2022-2023 Annual Budget Public Hearing. If adopted, the new rates will become effective July 1, 2022.
Between the Public Notice mailing date and the public hearing date, the EMID Board of Directors will receive the FY 2022-2023 Preliminary Annual Budget and Five-Year Financial Plan. Any adjustments that occur based upon EMID Board direction at the Budget Study Session will be incorporated into an updated rate model at the time of the public hearing. However, it is the opinion of District staff that conservative assumptions have been employed in the creation of the attached rate models. Accordingly, District staff believes that the rates proposed herein are the maximum rates that would be recommended for FY 2022-2023. At the public hearing, the EMID Board would have the option to reduce rates lower than what was noticed to rate payers under Proposition 218 if budgetary estimates change, but it could not 134
increase the rates above what was noticed.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to receiving this report and authorizing the preparation of the Proposition 218 notice. Further, water distribution service costs in Foster City are covered by the rates paid by the users as described in this staff report and its attachment. The costs of these services do not impact the City budget or the General Fund.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREAS
This item aligns with City Council’s Vision and Mission Statements for a "Sustainable Foster City" under the economic sustainability framework. It is illustrative of the City's commitment to fiscal prudence and responsibility, in delivering a balanced budget, and to promote transparency throughout all its processes.

SUBJECT: Water and Wastewater Rate Study Update Results
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction and Background
The Estero Municipal Improvement District (District ) engaged Bartle Wel ls Associates (BWA) to develop 10-year financial projections for the District’s Water and Wastewater Enterprises and to recommend water and wastewater rate adjustments for the next five- year period. BWA last conducted formal rate studies in 2021, which resulted in a one-year rate approval for water rates for FY 2022. No public hearing was held for wastewater, as the adopted wastewater rates were determined to be adequate.
Current and projected water service rates are in the lower range compared to other agencies on the Peninsula and wastewater service rates are in the middle range compared to other agencies o n the Peninsula. The District water and wastewater enterprises face unique infrastructure funding challenges.
Water
The primary driver for the proposed rate increases is to smooth District rate increases due to projected increases in the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wholesale water rate. The District faces costs associated with the $4. 8 billion Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) to upgrade the Hetch Hetchy Water System , resulting in significant additional wholesale SFPUC rate increases beginning in FY 2023. The program consists of 87 projects - 35 local projects located within San F rancisco and 52 regional projects, spread over seven counties from the Sierra foothills to San Francisco. The San Francisco portion of the program is 100% complete as of October 2020. The Regional Portion is approximately 99% complete. The current forecast ed date to complete the overall WSIP is May 2023, however SFPUC operating costs and debt service are projected to increase over the next five years.
Attachment 1
136
2 | P a g e
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the sole source of water supply for the District, released updated projections for their wholesale rate for the next two years (FY 2023 & FY 2024). SFPUC is projecting the current rate of $4.10 in FY 2022 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) will increase to $4.75 in FY 2023 and $5.28 in FY 2024.
SFPUC rates were historically held level at $4.10/ccf for six years despite escalating SFPUC debt service and operating costs through use of a balancing account . The balancing account was built up from SFPUC wholesale water sales exceeding projections used in rate setting . The increases in the SFPUC wholesale rates are due to the fund balance reaching zero. SFPUC rates are projected to increase by 15.9% in FY 202 3, 11.2% in FY 2024, 0% in FY 2025, and 0% in FY 2026.
While SFPUC wholesale rates were held flat, the District has been gradually increasing its volumetric rates in anticipation of large projected wholesale rate increases by SFPUC.
While the large wholesale rate increases have come to fruition, the District’s rates have been phased in to avoid sharp increases based on a rate smoothing model.
The District will also continue to make annual payments, projected to be $ 699,284 in FY 2023, to the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) for the WSIP capital improvements that were funded through the issuance of bonds. The water enterprise’s single largest cost is water purchases from SFPUC.
BWA proposed water rates are designed to maintain the operating f und above target levels (90 days operating expenses in reserves) and cover District operating and capital costs. Excluding water purchase and capital related costs, District operating costs are projected to increase by about 3% per year. Additionally, t he District is projected to increase the capital set aside from $680,000 per year to $2,500,000 in FY 2023, $1,750,000 in FY 2024 and $1,000,000 per year thereafter. The additional capital transfers are needed to fund capital projects. Proposed water rates are based on 11% water loss held level from the previous study . That is, 89% of the water EMID purchases is sold to retail customers.
To maintain the operating reserve s, fund the increased capital set aside, and phase in volumetric rates, BWA recommends the District implement a 3% volumetric rate increase and a 5% meter charge increase in FY 202 3. The average bill for a single family home would increase by 3.7% or $2.69 per month.
Detailed water rate calculations are shown in APPENDIX C. 137

Wastewater
The District has entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of San Mateo where the District receives treatment of its wastewater via the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The District is responsible for its share of operating and maintenance costs that San M ateo (as the lead agency and the contracting party) incurs treating the District’ s wastewater, as well as approximately 24% of the WWTP improvement costs incurred as part of the Clean Water Program (CWP), a 10 -year comprehensive capital improvement project initiated in 2014 . The Cities of San Mateo and Foster City (District) are expanding the jointly owned WWTP at an estimated cost of $670 MM with $15 3 MM of that falling under Foster City’s contributions. This is in addition to local capital projects for the District’s own wastewater collection system. The wastewater enterprise intends to fund collection system capital expenditures through annual transfers from the operating fund to the capital improvement fund.
In June 2020, to fund the anticipated costs of the WWTP CWP improvements, the District Board approved 5 years of wastewater rate increases: three 14.25% per increases in FY 2021 through FY 2023, a 10% wastewater rate increase in FY 2024, and a 2% increase in FY 2025. BWA’s 2022 analysis shows that the District has adequate financing capacity for projected debt issuances in the next several years. No additional rate increases thereafter are projected, however BWA recommends reevaluating outer year increases over the next several years as financing terms and capital costs materialize.
Detailed wastewater rate calculations are shown in APPENDIX E.
Rate Surveys
A survey of communities along the San Francisco Peninsula was conducted to compare the District’s typical residential monthly water and wastewater bills with neighboring communities. The results of the water survey are summarized in APPENDIX B and the results of the wastewater survey are summarized in APPENDIX D.
The water survey compares an average monthly water bill for 8 units of water which would be a common residential consumption. Including the recommended increase, the District’s average monthly water bill proposed for FY 2023 is $74.85. Since it is unknown what the comparator agencies are proposing for FY 2023, the District compares its FY 138
4 | P a g e
2022 monthly residential water bills to the FY 2022 monthly residential water bills for the neighboring agencies. The survey indicates that the District’s water rates are among the lowest on the Peninsula. The average monthly water bill for the region is $94.83 per month and the District’s average monthly residential water bill is $72.16 per month, or about 24% less. Since the proposed increase is also less than the FY 2022 average, it is likely that EMID customers will continue to pay much lower than average water bills.
Including the recommended increase, the District’s proposed monthly wastewater bill for FY 2023 is $127.06. Since it is unknown what the comparator agencies are proposing for FY 2023, the District compares its FY 2022 monthly residential wastewater bills to the FY 2022 monthly residential wastewater bills for the neighboring agencies. The survey indicates that the District’s current wastewater rates are slightly below the average amongst its comparator agencies. The average monthly bill for the region is $115.57 and the District’s rate is $111.21 per month, or about 3.8% less. When the previously approved 14.25% increase is implemented, it is likely that the District’s rates will exceed the average monthly bill among comparator agencies for FY 2023, although the actual position will not be known until all agencies have approved their rates. 139

Table 2 illustrates the current reserves that the District can draw down in case of emergency or to smooth any “rate shocks” to its customers. In recent years reserves were used as a buffer due to unexpected increases in system water losses.
The District is meeting its 90-day operating fund reserve target in FY 2022 (estimated to be $3.85 million.)
The wholesale water purchase rates that SFPUC is projecting through FY 2026 are shown graphically in CHART A. The SFPUC also collects the BAWSCA Bond Surcharge from the District. The chart incorporates the BAWSCA Bond Surcharge estimated at $0.38 cents per ccf. The SFPUC rates and BAWSCA surcharge combined are projected to increase from FY 2022 to FY 202 4 from $4.48/ccf ($4.10 SFPUC + $ 0.38 BAWSCA) to $5. 66/ccf ($5.28 + $0.38 BAWSCA).

Table 4 summarizes the current water rates. The District has variable expenditures which are expenditures that are impacted by the amount of water its customers consume. These costs must be recouped via its volumetric water charge, $5.92 per ccf in FY 2022. Likewise, the District’s meter charges recover fixed expenditures, expenditures that are fixed regardless of amount of water that is consumed, $24.80 for a ¾” meter in FY 2022.
The District has a two-tiered model for its residential customers where higher levels of water consumption are subject to higher water rates based on a proportionate share of conservation program costs. Commercial customers are charged a uniform rate, which includes commercial customer’s proportionate share of conservation program costs.
For its irrigation customers, the District has worked with John Whitcomb of Waterfluence to assign each irrigation customer a water budget. Any water consumed above the irrigation customers allotted amount is subject to a higher Tier 2 rate based on each customer’s share of conservation program costs.
APPENDIX A shows District historical water use trends from the prior year. The trend has been an increase in residential usage and a decline in commercial water usage. BWA’s proposed rates are designed to match volumetric expenses (such as water purchases) with volumetric revenue. The rate structure mitigates over or under collecting revenue due to fluctuations in water use.

Low Income Discount
Currently Foster City has 11 customers enrolled in the Water/Wastewater Rate Assistance Program (WWRAP), which was implemented in 2020. Customers meeting the eligibility and qualification requirements below are granted a discount of up to $15 per month each on their qualifying Water and Wastewater accounts, not to exceed a $30 per month discount per customer. To be eligible for the WWRAP, customers must show that they qualify for the PG&E CARE Program or other public assistance program or submit proof of income eligibility.
According to Pacific Gas & Electric, 680 customers are enrolled in the PG&E CARE Program in Foster City. BWA estimates that approximately 227 of these customers are single family residential and therefore would be eligible for the discount. Multifamily units would not be eligible for the discount because water service is often not separately metered for each unit and the bill is typically not paid by the individual units.
The District funds the current low income discount through non-rate sources of revenue such as fines and penalties, cell tower lease and general fund revenue to maintain compliance with California Proposition 218.
The estimated maximum potential cost of a $30/month discount for 227 customers amounts to $82,000 per year. Since the low income discount revenue sources cannot be funded with rates, rates are unaffected by the decision on the terms of the program and hence are not required to be included in the Proposition 218 notification.

Wastewater Financial Projections
Wastewater projections are shown in APPENDIX E.
San Mateo-Foster City Public Financing Authority:
Projections anticipate $94 million of debt issuances between FY 2022 and FY 2024 ($61 MM of WIFIA proceeds and $33 MM of SRF loans) to fund WWTP expansion costs. BWA projects that the approved rate increases are adequate to secure projected debt issuances over the next several years.
Table 5 shows debt service estimates for the District’s share of WWTP costs. Annual debt service for the combined total debt issuances is estimated to amount to $5.78 MM by FY 2027.

Wastewater Cost of Service Analysis
Bartle Wells performed a Wastewater Cost of Service Analysis to determine equitable cost allocation to the various user classes. BWA recommends continuing the practice of placing commercial customers into three wastewater strength categories, (low, medium and high) based on the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Wastewater Revenue Program Guidelines. Low strength wastewater (Class A) customers include banks, laundromats, retail stores, schools, churches and others as shown in Table 6.
Medium strength wastewater (Class B) customers have wastewater strength factors that are assumed to be similar to residential wastewater strength factors. They include typical commercial activities such as libraries, spas, nail salons, gas stations and bars.
High strength wastewater (Class C) customers primarily include food -related businesses such as restaurants, bakeries, dairies, wineries, catering, butcher shops and fish markets.

Table 7 summarizes the assumed wastewater strength factors for the low, medium and high strength groups that are based on typical strengths provided in the SWRCB’s Revenue Program Guidelines. The strength factor for medium strength customers is equivalent to res idential or “domestic” strength, of 1.00. The strength factor for low strength is calculated at 0.66 and for high strength is calculated at 2.85 based on the SWRCB guidelines.

Table 8 summarizes the mass-balance analysis for the City’s wastewater system and calculates the wastewater rates for each customer class. Single family residences are assumed to have an average daily (dry weather) flow of 200 gallons per day (gpd).
Based on residential occupancy data provided by the City of Foster City, single family residences are estimated to have an average of 2.67 residents per household and multi-family residences are estimated to have an average of 2.25 residents per household (84% of a single family household).
Multi-family dwellings are billed based on an estimated flow of 168 gpd or 0.84 time s the single family flow. As a check, the mass balance in Table 8 compares the total calculated and measured daily wastewater flows for Foster City (average dry weather flow).
The results agree well with the estimated daily flow at 2.58 million gallons per day (mgd) and the measured flow at 2.37 mgd.

It is recommended that the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Board of Directors accept this report regarding Wastewater Rates based upon the attached Water and Wastewater Rate Study Update Results Memo.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EMID is responsible for its share of operating and maintenance costs that San Mateo (as the lead agency and the contracting party) incurs treating the District’s wastewater, as well as approximately 24.12% of the capital improvement costs incurred as part of the Clean Water Program (CWP), a 10-year comprehensive capital improvement project initiated in 2014 to replace aging infrastructure and meet regulatory requirements at the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The District’s total share of the project is approximately $153 million. In March 2018, the EMID Board of Directors adopted a rolling five-year annual wastewater rate increase of 14.25% on all wastewater rates for the period between FY 2018-2019 to FY 2022-2023 in order to ensure that the wastewater enterprise generates enough revenue to pay for its share of the future capital improvement costs of the WWTP and to 168
strengthen the District’s position to obtain low-cost long-term financing for that purpose. In June 2019, the District Board approved a 10% wastewater rate increase in FY 2023-2024, and in June 2020, a 2% increase in FY 2024- 2025. No rate increases are projected for the remainder of the five year term, however District staff and the consultant will continue to reevaluate the outer year rate recommendations over the next several years to validate and update future projections.
Since the EMID Board of Directors already held a public hearing and approved the wastewater rates for FY 2022-2023, the District is not required to hold a public hearing to implement the 14.25% increase. However, Staff recommends that information about the new Wastewater rates that will go into effect on July 1, 2022, be included in the Proposition 218 notice that will be mailed for the Water Rate public hearing.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
There are approximately 13,890 wastewater accounts serviced by the District.
The majority are residential with the remainder consisting of commercial and institutional accounts.
The operational costs for wastewater services are borne jointly by the District and the City of San Mateo via the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement executed in June 1974. Those costs include recurring operations and maintenance, as well as capital improvement costs. The rates that residential wastewater customers pay are based on a fixed charge for the category or type of residential unit (single family, townhouse/duplex, or apartment/condominium). Commercial customers are charged a variable rate based upon the amount of water consumed by their business and the business wastewater strength category.
The District has historically set rates on a “Pay As You Go” basis, meaning that rates are increased only based upon budgeted current operating expenditures in order to meet minimum reserve requirements equal to 25% of annual operating expenditures and $2 million for unanticipated capital expenditures, consistent with the EMID Board of Directors’ existing reserve policy.
The City of San Mateo and EMID are expanding the jointly owned WWTP at an estimated cost of about $670 million, of which the District is responsible for approximately $153 million. This is in addition to local capital projects for the 169
District’s own wastewater collection system. The wastewater enterprise intends to fund collection system capital expenditures through annual transfers from the operating fund to the capital improvement fund of $5,250,000 from FY 2023-2025 and $2,200,000 from FY 2026-2032 As of June 2020, to fund the anticipated costs of the WWTP CWP improvements, the District Board approved 5 years of wastewater rate increases: three 14.25% per year increases in FY 2021 through FY 2023, a 10% wastewater rate increase in FY 2024, and a 2% increase in FY 2025.
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA)’s 2022 analysis shows that the District has adequate financing capacity for projected debt issuances in the next several years. Rates must be in place to ensure adequate funds to cover debt service.
FY 2020-2021 to FY 2024-2025 Wastewater Rate Impact
Single Family Residential and Multi-Family Residential class customers are billed using a flat rate. Commercial customers are billed at a variable volumetric rate based on water usage and strength classification. The new wastewater rate projections propose an overall rate increase of 14.25% on all wastewater rates for FY 2022-2023, decreasing to 10.00% in FY 2023-2024, and further decreasing to 2.00% for FY 2024-2025. Table 2 from Appendix E of the BWA Rate Study Results Memo (Attachment 1) provides a comparison of current rates to proposed rates.
170
Water/Wastewater Rate Assistance Program
In Rate Year 2020-2021, the District Board approved an assistance program for customers whose income also qualified them for Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) discount program.
While it is not possible to know exactly how many households qualify, based upon the number of customers enrolled in the PG&E CARE program, BWA estimates that approximately 227 customers may potentially be eligible for the up to $15 per month Wastewater Account discount. Currently there are eleven (11) customers enrolled in the program. Participation in the W/WRAP program is supported by non-rate sources of revenue such as fines and penalties, to maintain compliance with California Proposition 218, so wastewater rates are unaffected by participation in the program.
The cost of the W/WRAP program based on current enrollment is $1,980 per year. The maximum potential cost of a $15/month discount for all estimated 227 eligible customers is $41,000 per year. Through the first eight months of FY 2022, revenue from delinquent wastewater payments totaled $27,415, which is sufficient to fund the program. Staff will continue to monitor the funding sources available for the program.
The Rate Assistance Program has been authorized by the City Council on an annual basis, and authorization to continue the program will be on the agenda with the consideration of rates in June.
Rate Survey
A survey of communities along the San Francisco Peninsula was conducted to compare the District’s typical residential wastewater bill with neighboring communities. The results of the survey are summarized in the Wastewater Rate Survey Comparison Chart that appears as Appendix D in Attachment 1.
The average monthly bill among comparator agencies for FY 2021-2022 is $115.57. The District’s average rate for FY 2021-2022 is $111.21 per month, or about 3.8% less than the average. When the previously approved 14.25% increase is implemented, it is likely that the District’s rates will exceed the average monthly bill among comparator agencies for FY 2022-2023, although the actual position will not be known until all agencies have approved their rates.
171
Proposition 218 Notification
Since the EMID Board of Directors already held a public hearing and approved the wastewater rates for FY 2022-2023, the District is not required to hold a public hearing. While City Council will receive the complete Wastewater Fund budget at a later meeting, it is the opinion of District staff that conservative assumptions have been employed in the creation of the rate model. As such, staff recommends that Council affirm the previously approved 14.25% rate for FY 2022-2023. In the interest of transparency, Staff further recommends that information about the new Wastewater rates be included in the Proposition 218 notice that will be mailed for the Water Rate public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to receiving this report. Further, wastewater collection service costs in Foster City are covered by the rates paid by the users as described in this staff report and its attachment. The costs of these services do not impact the City budget or the General Fund.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREAS
This item aligns with City Council’s Vision and Mission Statements for a "Sustainable Foster City" under the economic sustainability framework. It is illustrative of the City's commitment to fiscal prudence and responsibility, in delivering a balanced budget, and to promote transparency throughout all its processes.

SUBJECT: Water and Wastewater Rate Study Update Results
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction and Background
The Estero Municipal Improvement District (District ) engaged Bartle Wel ls Associates (BWA) to develop 10-year financial projections for the District’s Water and Wastewater Enterprises and to recommend water and wastewater rate adjustments for the next five- year period. BWA last conducted formal rate studies in 2021, which resulted in a one-year rate approval for water rates for FY 2022. No public hearing was held for wastewater, as the adopted wastewater rates were determined to be adequate.
Current and projected water service rates are in the lower range compared to other agencies on the Peninsula and wastewater service rates are in the middle range compared to other agencies o n the Peninsula. The District water and wastewater enterprises face unique infrastructure funding challenges.
Water
The primary driver for the proposed rate increases is to smooth District rate increases due to projected increases in the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wholesale water rate. The District faces costs associated with the $4. 8 billion Water System Improvement Project (WSIP) to upgrade the Hetch Hetchy Water System , resulting in significant additional wholesale SFPUC rate increases beginning in FY 2023. The program consists of 87 projects - 35 local projects located within San F rancisco and 52 regional projects, spread over seven counties from the Sierra foothills to San Francisco. The San Francisco portion of the program is 100% complete as of October 2020. The Regional Portion is approximately 99% complete. The current forecast ed date to complete the overall WSIP is May 2023, however SFPUC operating costs and debt service are projected to increase over the next five years.
Attachment 1
173
2 | P a g e
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), the sole source of water supply for the District, released updated projections for their wholesale rate for the next two years (FY 2023 & FY 2024). SFPUC is projecting the current rate of $4.10 in FY 2022 per hundred cubic feet (ccf) will increase to $4.75 in FY 2023 and $5.28 in FY 2024.
SFPUC rates were historically held level at $4.10/ccf for six years despite escalating SFPUC debt service and operating costs through use of a balancing account . The balancing account was built up from SFPUC wholesale water sales exceeding projections used in rate setting . The increases in the SFPUC wholesale rates are due to the fund balance reaching zero. SFPUC rates are projected to increase by 15.9% in FY 202 3, 11.2% in FY 2024, 0% in FY 2025, and 0% in FY 2026.
While SFPUC wholesale rates were held flat, the District has been gradually increasing its volumetric rates in anticipation of large projected wholesale rate increases by SFPUC.
While the large wholesale rate increases have come to fruition, the District’s rates have been phased in to avoid sharp increases based on a rate smoothing model.
The District will also continue to make annual payments, projected to be $ 699,284 in FY 2023, to the Bay Area Water Supply and Conservation Agency (BAWSCA) for the WSIP capital improvements that were funded through the issuance of bonds. The water enterprise’s single largest cost is water purchases from SFPUC.
BWA proposed water rates are designed to maintain the operating f und above target levels (90 days operating expenses in reserves) and cover District operating and capital costs. Excluding water purchase and capital related costs, District operating costs are projected to increase by about 3% per year. Additionally, t he District is projected to increase the capital set aside from $680,000 per year to $2,500,000 in FY 2023, $1,750,000 in FY 2024 and $1,000,000 per year thereafter. The additional capital transfers are needed to fund capital projects. Proposed water rates are based on 11% water loss held level from the previous study . That is, 89% of the water EMID purchases is sold to retail customers.
To maintain the operating reserve s, fund the increased capital set aside, and phase in volumetric rates, BWA recommends the District implement a 3% volumetric rate increase and a 5% meter charge increase in FY 202 3. The average bill for a single family home would increase by 3.7% or $2.69 per month.
Detailed water rate calculations are shown in APPENDIX C. 174

Wastewater
The District has entered into a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of San Mateo where the District receives treatment of its wastewater via the San Mateo Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The District is responsible for its share of operating and maintenance costs that San M ateo (as the lead agency and the contracting party) incurs treating the District’ s wastewater, as well as approximately 24% of the WWTP improvement costs incurred as part of the Clean Water Program (CWP), a 10 -year comprehensive capital improvement project initiated in 2014 . The Cities of San Mateo and Foster City (District) are expanding the jointly owned WWTP at an estimated cost of $670 MM with $15 3 MM of that falling under Foster City’s contributions. This is in addition to local capital projects for the District’s own wastewater collection system. The wastewater enterprise intends to fund collection system capital expenditures through annual transfers from the operating fund to the capital improvement fund.
In June 2020, to fund the anticipated costs of the WWTP CWP improvements, the District Board approved 5 years of wastewater rate increases: three 14.25% per increases in FY 2021 through FY 2023, a 10% wastewater rate increase in FY 2024, and a 2% increase in FY 2025. BWA’s 2022 analysis shows that the District has adequate financing capacity for projected debt issuances in the next several years. No additional rate increases thereafter are projected, however BWA recommends reevaluating outer year increases over the next several years as financing terms and capital costs materialize.
Detailed wastewater rate calculations are shown in APPENDIX E.
Rate Surveys
A survey of communities along the San Francisco Peninsula was conducted to compare the District’s typical residential monthly water and wastewater bills with neighboring communities. The results of the water survey are summarized in APPENDIX B and the results of the wastewater survey are summarized in APPENDIX D.
The water survey compares an average monthly water bill for 8 units of water which would be a common residential consumption. Including the recommended increase, the District’s average monthly water bill proposed for FY 2023 is $74.85. Since it is unknown what the comparator agencies are proposing for FY 2023, the District compares its FY 175
4 | P a g e
2022 monthly residential water bills to the FY 2022 monthly residential water bills for the neighboring agencies. The survey indicates that the District’s water rates are among the lowest on the Peninsula. The average monthly water bill for the region is $94.83 per month and the District’s average monthly residential water bill is $72.16 per month, or about 24% less. Since the proposed increase is also less than the FY 2022 average, it is likely that EMID customers will continue to pay much lower than average water bills.
Including the recommended increase, the District’s proposed monthly wastewater bill for FY 2023 is $127.06. Since it is unknown what the comparator agencies are proposing for FY 2023, the District compares its FY 2022 monthly residential wastewater bills to the FY 2022 monthly residential wastewater bills for the neighboring agencies. The survey indicates that the District’s current wastewater rates are slightly below the average amongst its comparator agencies. The average monthly bill for the region is $115.57 and the District’s rate is $111.21 per month, or about 3.8% less. When the previously approved 14.25% increase is implemented, it is likely that the District’s rates will exceed the average monthly bill among comparator agencies for FY 2023, although the actual position will not be known until all agencies have approved their rates. 176

Table 2 illustrates the current reserves that the District can draw down in case of emergency or to smooth any “rate shocks” to its customers. In recent years reserves were used as a buffer due to unexpected increases in system water losses.
The District is meeting its 90-day operating fund reserve target in FY 2022 (estimated to be $3.85 million.)
The wholesale water purchase rates that SFPUC is projecting through FY 2026 are shown graphically in CHART A. The SFPUC also collects the BAWSCA Bond Surcharge from the District. The chart incorporates the BAWSCA Bond Surcharge estimated at $0.38 cents per ccf. The SFPUC rates and BAWSCA surcharge combined are projected to increase from FY 2022 to FY 202 4 from $4.48/ccf ($4.10 SFPUC + $ 0.38 BAWSCA) to $5. 66/ccf ($5.28 + $0.38 BAWSCA).

Table 4 summarizes the current water rates. The District has variable expenditures which are expenditures that are impacted by the amount of water its customers consume. These costs must be recouped via its volumetric water charge, $5.92 per ccf in FY 2022. Likewise, the District’s meter charges recover fixed expenditures, expenditures that are fixed regardless of amount of water that is consumed, $24.80 for a ¾” meter in FY 2022.
The District has a two-tiered model for its residential customers where higher levels of water consumption are subject to higher water rates based on a proportionate share of conservation program costs. Commercial customers are charged a uniform rate, which includes commercial customer’s proportionate share of conservation program costs.
For its irrigation customers, the District has worked with John Whitcomb of Waterfluence to assign each irrigation customer a water budget. Any water consumed above the irrigation customers allotted amount is subject to a higher Tier 2 rate based on each customer’s share of conservation program costs.
APPENDIX A shows District historical water use trends from the prior year. The trend has been an increase in residential usage and a decline in commercial water usage. BWA’s proposed rates are designed to match volumetric expenses (such as water purchases) with volumetric revenue. The rate structure mitigates over or under collecting revenue due to fluctuations in water use.

Low Income Discount
Currently Foster City has 11 customers enrolled in the Water/Wastewater Rate Assistance Program (WWRAP), which was implemented in 2020. Customers meeting the eligibility and qualification requirements below are granted a discount of up to $15 per month each on their qualifying Water and Wastewater accounts, not to exceed a $30 per month discount per customer. To be eligible for the WWRAP, customers must show that they qualify for the PG&E CARE Program or other public assistance program or submit proof of income eligibility.
According to Pacific Gas & Electric, 680 customers are enrolled in the PG&E CARE Program in Foster City. BWA estimates that approximately 227 of these customers are single family residential and therefore would be eligible for the discount. Multifamily units would not be eligible for the discount because water service is often not separately metered for each unit and the bill is typically not paid by the individual units.
The District funds the current low income discount through non-rate sources of revenue such as fines and penalties, cell tower lease and general fund revenue to maintain compliance with California Proposition 218.
The estimated maximum potential cost of a $30/month discount for 227 customers amounts to $82,000 per year. Since the low income discount revenue sources cannot be funded with rates, rates are unaffected by the decision on the terms of the program and hence are not required to be included in the Proposition 218 notification.

Wastewater Financial Projections
Wastewater projections are shown in APPENDIX E.
San Mateo-Foster City Public Financing Authority:
Projections anticipate $94 million of debt issuances between FY 2022 and FY 2024 ($61 MM of WIFIA proceeds and $33 MM of SRF loans) to fund WWTP expansion costs. BWA projects that the approved rate increases are adequate to secure projected debt issuances over the next several years.
Table 5 shows debt service estimates for the District’s share of WWTP costs. Annual debt service for the combined total debt issuances is estimated to amount to $5.78 MM by FY 2027.

Wastewater Cost of Service Analysis
Bartle Wells performed a Wastewater Cost of Service Analysis to determine equitable cost allocation to the various user classes. BWA recommends continuing the practice of placing commercial customers into three wastewater strength categories, (low, medium and high) based on the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Wastewater Revenue Program Guidelines. Low strength wastewater (Class A) customers include banks, laundromats, retail stores, schools, churches and others as shown in Table 6.
Medium strength wastewater (Class B) customers have wastewater strength factors that are assumed to be similar to residential wastewater strength factors. They include typical commercial activities such as libraries, spas, nail salons, gas stations and bars.
High strength wastewater (Class C) customers primarily include food -related businesses such as restaurants, bakeries, dairies, wineries, catering, butcher shops and fish markets.

Table 7 summarizes the assumed wastewater strength factors for the low, medium and high strength groups that are based on typical strengths provided in the SWRCB’s Revenue Program Guidelines. The strength factor for medium strength customers is equivalent to res idential or “domestic” strength, of 1.00. The strength factor for low strength is calculated at 0.66 and for high strength is calculated at 2.85 based on the SWRCB guidelines.

Table 8 summarizes the mass-balance analysis for the City’s wastewater system and calculates the wastewater rates for each customer class. Single family residences are assumed to have an average daily (dry weather) flow of 200 gallons per day (gpd).
Based on residential occupancy data provided by the City of Foster City, single family residences are estimated to have an average of 2.67 residents per household and multi-family residences are estimated to have an average of 2.25 residents per household (84% of a single family household).
Multi-family dwellings are billed based on an estimated flow of 168 gpd or 0.84 time s the single family flow. As a check, the mass balance in Table 8 compares the total calculated and measured daily wastewater flows for Foster City (average dry weather flow).
The results agree well with the estimated daily flow at 2.58 million gallons per day (mgd) and the measured flow at 2.37 mgd.

City staff seeks reaffirmation of the City Council’s policy on reserve levels and funding methodologies for its Internal Service Funds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As indicated in Attachment 1, each of the Internal Service Funds (Vehicle Replacement Fund, Equipment Replacement Fund, Information Technology Fund, Building Replacement Fund, and Wastewater Equipment Replacement Fund) is projected to meet targeted reserve levels as of 6/30/2022. The Water Equipment Fund is just $9,000 shy of its target of $3.59 million. The Self-Insurance Internal Service Fund is projected to meet its reserve balance target of $1 million. The Longevity Benefit and PEHMCA Benefit Internal Service Funds reserve balances represent set asides for post-employment liability. Based on the current practice, City staff recommends the continuation of assessments for estimated benefit charges to applicable departments in FY 2022-2023. Lastly, the Compensated Absences Internal Service Fund reserve balance represents the estimated accrued value of earned leave (vacation and sick) upon General Fund employee separation from the City. As 205
such, earned leave payout is charged to this Fund at such time.
BACKGROUND
Internal Service Funds are the mechanism by which the City accumulates funding over time in preparation for known future large purchases and/or other future liabilities. Internal Service funding is a conservative budgeting strategy that has helped Foster City proactively fund necessary expenditures.
The City of Foster City has established six (6) Internal Service Funds to which it transfers funds in preparation for future large expenses. These funds are:
Vehicle Replacement Fund (501) – For staffing costs and purchases related to the vehicle fleet including vehicles and repair equipment. Equipment Replacement Fund (502) – For the purchase of operations equipment with a cost of at least $1,000.
Self-Insurance Fund (503) – For the costs associated with the Insurance and Risk Management program.
Information Technology Fund (504) – For staffing costs and purchases of equipment related to information technology including computers, servers, phone systems, routers, etc.
Building Maintenance Fund (505) – For staffing costs and the upkeep of all City buildings, including paint, HVAC, roofing and equipment to perform building maintenance.
Compensated Absences (509) – For payouts of accrued leave upon termination of employment based upon provisions of various employee Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and the City’s Compensation and Benefits Plan.
Water Enterprise Equipment Replacement Fund (408) – For the purchase of operations equipment with a cost of at least $1,000. Wastewater Enterprise Equipment Replacement Fund (458) – For the purchase of operations equipment with a cost of at least $1,000.
Funding is set aside in these funds based on an annual analysis of each Fund’s needs. Balances are impacted by various factors, including interest accumulation on reserves, estimates of replacement values, decisions not to replace items that have been allocated in the funds, or savings on the cost of items compared to the anticipated costs. The Compensated Absences Fund Balance tends to vary from year to year depending upon actual vacation accruals, vacation time taken by staff, the number of retirements, and/or separations from service.
206
The City also has two (2) Internal Service Funds that collect assessments of estimated retiree benefit payments to applicable departments, namely:
Longevity Recognition Benefits Fund (507) – For the payment of Longevity Recognition Benefits post-employment benefits to qualified individuals.
PEMHCA Benefits Fund (508) – For the payment of Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act post-employment benefits to qualified individuals.
City staff recommends the continuation of this practice in FY 2022-2023.
ANALYSIS
Internal Service Fund balances are analyzed periodically to ensure that funding is adequate based upon the requirements of each Fund and to determine the scope of any available balances above the calculated requirements. Over the course of the past few months, each Internal Service Fund was analyzed and after deducting funding dedicated to the replacement of equipment and/or the accrued liability, the reserve established by policy is then applied. The resulting balance is considered available as an unassigned fund balance (reserve balance). As a cost savings practice, City staff implemented a 15% chargeback discount on the Vehicle Replacement Fund and Equipment Replacement Fund with no adverse impacts on available Fund Balances. Staff recommends the continuation of this practice for FY 2022-2023 as this discount methodology is expected to limit each Fund’s reserve build-up in future years.
The analysis of Internal Service Fund balances is an integral step in fund management and is done annually as part of the budget process. Detailed discussion about each Internal Service Fund can be found in the separate staff reports presented this evening.
FISCAL IMPACT
City staff seeks the City Council’s reaffirmation of the City’s Policy on reserve levels and funding methodologies for its Internal Service Funds. No immediate fiscal impact is anticipated at this time.

SUBJECT: VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FUND OVERVIEW AND INTERNAL SERVICE FUND ALLOCATIONS FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and provide policy direction regarding the development of the Vehicle Replacement Internal Service Fund budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are three budget impacts associated with the Vehicle Replacement Fund. The appropriation of funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives, the transfer of funding for the future replacement of vehicles, and the transfer of funding for the Vehicle Maintenance operation.
The total recommended fiscal impact is $1,742,612, which is approximately 1% less than FY 2021-2022. Details of the cost and distribution of operations are contained in the attachments to this report.
BACKGROUND
The vehicle maintenance and replacement program was created to provide 210
proactive and effective management, maintenance, inspection, repair, and replacement of all City/District vehicles in order to ensure a consistently efficient and safe vehicle fleet of all service vehicle types through established vehicle maintenance procedures, in order for staff to continue to provide the highest quality service to the Foster City community. Although the Vehicle Maintenance Division has experienced a number of significant changes in the division’s reporting relationships and organizational structure since FY 2019- 2020, the daily operations and goals of the division and its personnel have not changed.
The Vehicle Replacement Fund provides for the distribution of costs for fleet management among user departments and funds. It also serves as a funding mechanism for the replacement of vehicles. Setting aside replacement funding and planning for replacement over the life of the vehicles provides for an orderly replacement process.
As a guideline, vehicles in the City’s fleet are expected to achieve at least the following minimum useful lives, and replacement funding is planned according to this schedule in order to provide flexibility, although it is usual for individual vehicles to significantly exceed these minimums. Police cruisers: 5 years
Police motorcycles: 6 years
Sedans: 6-7 years
Maintenance trucks and tractors: 8-13 years
CARES Vehicle (Mobile EOC): 16 years
ANALYSIS
The Vehicle Maintenance Division continually monitors the fleet to ensure that each vehicle continues to effectively serve the needs of the City. The vehicles are subject to on-going comprehensive evaluation of factors such as safety, life expectancy, performance, maintenance record, idling time, mileage, condition, fuel efficiency and sustainability, integrated technology, lighting, and customization to suit department operations. Regardless of assigned useful life, vehicles are only recommended to be replaced when this analysis has demonstrated that replacement is warranted.
The distribution of the 80 vehicles in the City’s fleet is detailed in the attached Internal Service Charges Allocation Summary Fiscal Year 2022-2023. The Vehicle Maintenance Division also maintains approximately 400 pieces of 211
small equipment.
Based on their age, twenty-two (22) vehicles had adequate funding for replacement in Fiscal Year 2022-2023. Of those, staff recommends replacing two (2) regular-duty trucks, a Ford Ranger in the Recreation Division and a Ford F-250 in the Parks Division. This recommendation is based on a thorough review of the maintenance history, usage and condition of the vehicles in question. Staff does not anticipate that deferring the remaining vehicles will have a significant negative impact on City operations or on future scheduled replacements based on the overall condition of the fleet.
Vehicle Maintenance staff continues to evaluate fuel efficient fleet alternatives. The vehicle inventory includes four (4) Toyota Prius hybrids, two (2) Ford C-Max hybrids, one (1) Ford Escape hybrid, and one (1) Ford Focus electric vehicle which collectively reduce the overall fuel consumption of the fleet, based upon number of vehicle miles traveled.
Staff routinely monitors fuel costs, and despite the effect that the current political climate is having on fuel prices, does not anticipate needing an increase to the unleaded or diesel fuel budget at this time. The average fuel cost per gallon for 2021 was $2.50 (unleaded) and $2.18 (diesel), which is trending to be considerably more in Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are three budget impacts associated with the Vehicle Replacement Fund.
The first budget impact is the appropriation of funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives. These funds have been accumulated and are available in the Vehicle Replacement Fund. The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2022- 2023 is $74,814. Funding for two vehicles which have been ordered in FY 2021-2022 but are not anticipated to be received until FY 2022-2023 is also being carried over.
The second budget impact is the transfer of funding for the future replacement of vehicles. Since FY 2014-1015, only 85% of the total projected vehicle replacement costs are charged back to departments. Because of interest earnings, cost savings associated with purchases and revenue from the sale of replaced vehicles, this fund tends to experience a growing reserve 212
balance. Employing a discounted charge-back methodology reduces the impact to the General Fund while maintaining a sufficient balance to accomplish the necessary vehicle and equipment purchases. The total recommended transfer for future replacement of vehicles is $379,710. This cost is distributed among the various departments and funds based upon the number and type of vehicles that are assigned to them.
The final budget impact is the transfer of funding for the Vehicle Maintenance operation. This cost is distributed among the various departments and funds based upon the number of vehicles assigned to them. The total recommended transfer to fund the Vehicle Maintenance operation is $1,362,901.
A summary of the total fiscal impact of the two components of the budget transfers as distributed among funds is shown in Table 1. Details are shown in the attachments to this report.
A 1% increase ($16,994) to the total Vehicle Maintenance line item budget is due to the following changes:
An increase of approximately $83,200 for Insurance.
An increase of approximately $22,134 for the replacement of vehicles. Of the total, $74,814 is budgeted for two regular-duty trucks scheduled for replacement in FY 2022-23, while $439,764 is carried over from FY 2021-2022 for two large vehicles that were ordered but will not be received before June 30, 2021, and $100,000 was added in contingency funds. The contingency budget was eliminated during budget reductions related to Covid, but is recommended to be reinstated. These funds are used for unanticipated costs, and unused appropriation will be returned to the Vehicle Fund 501 if not needed. A decrease of approximately $90,300 in personnel costs and overhead charges as calculated according to the Cost Allocation Plan related to 213
the reallocation of personnel due to a realignment of the Public Works organizational structure.
An increase of approximately $2,000 related to adjustments to equipment-related purchases in the Internal Service Funds.
Staff routinely monitors fund balances to ensure that adequate funds are available. Based on Mid-Year Financial Review calculations from the Finance Department, the Vehicle Replacement Fund is expected to end Fiscal Year 2021-2022 with an available fund balance of $4,149,151. The amount directly attributable to the replacement of vehicles and equipment through the end of FY 2021-2022 is $3,303,252, and the contingency reserve is $100,000 leaving an excess balance of $745,899 in the fund.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREA
This item supports the mechanism to replace the equipment that supports all of the City’s operations, which enables all of the City’s priority goals, most especially the Public Safety and Facilities and Infrastructure priority areas.

Attachment 1
Vehicle Replacement Fund
The mission and goal of the Vehicle Maintenance program is to provide management, maintenance, and inspection of all City/District vehicles and provide an efficient and safe vehicle fleet through established vehicle maintenance procedures. The Vehicle Maintenance Division develops ongoing maintenance programs for City vehicles and works to develop a cost-effective inventory system. The Vehicle Replacement Fund provides for the distribution of costs among user departments and replacement of vehicles in a timely manner to accomplish program goals.
Although the Vehicle Maintenance Division has experienced a number of significant changes in the division’s reporting relationships and organizational structure since FY 2019-2020, the day-to-day operations and goals have not changed for the Division’s staff, which consists of the Building/Vehicle Manager (50%), one full-time Mechanic I, and one full-time Small Engine Mechanic with supervisory and administrative support.

Andra Lorenz, Principal Management Analyst
SUBJECT: EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND BUDGET AND INTERNAL SERVICE CHARGES FOR FY 2022-2023
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and provide policy direction on the proposed Equipment Replacement Fund budget, including the scheduled replacement purchases and Equipment Replacement Fund charges in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Preliminary Budget as outlined.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed for the purpose of reserving the funding needed to replace high-value assets. These assets are listed along with their replacement costs and estimated useful lives and then funding is set aside each year in an amount adequate to fund the replacement at the right time. Every asset was reviewed and replacement values and useful life estimates were adjusted with the best information currently available about each asset. The total budgeted for the replacement of individual items in FY 2022-2023 is $724,825 and the total budget transfer to the Equipment Replacement Funds is $1,156,285. There is sufficient fund balance available for these items.
226
BACKGROUND
The Equipment Replacement Fund was developed for the purpose of reserving the funding needed to replace high-value assets. There are three Equipment Replacement Fund lists, one each for the General Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Funds. General Fund Equipment Replacements reside in the Internal Services fund group. The Water and Wastewater Equipment Replacements reside in their respective Enterprise Fund groups.
All changes to the fund asset listings are summarized in the attachments to this report.
ANALYSIS
Every asset on each of the three Equipment Replacement Fund lists was carefully reviewed by the Fund Administrator and the Department that uses the asset. Staff did an analysis of all assets, adjusting replacement values and useful life estimates to accurately reflect the best information currently available about each asset. Assets that were no longer needed were removed from the list and existing assets were added to the lists as appropriate. The attached lists represent staff’s recommendation for the most efficient maintenance and replacement of equipment assets.
Attached are the summary spreadsheets for the Equipment Replacement Fund. There are not significant changes to the fund assets.
FISCAL IMPACT
There are two budget impacts associated with the Equipment Replacement Fund:
Budgeted cost to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives
Annual transfer to reserve funding for replacements (replacement charge)
Replacement of Assets Scheduled for Replacement
The funding to replace assets that have reached the end of their useful lives is appropriated in the respective Equipment Replacement Funds. The replacement value of assets that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2022- 2023 is summarized in Table 1.
227
Annual Replacement Charges
Replacement charges are the functional mechanism by which funding for assets is transferred from the General, Water and Wastewater Operating Funds to the respective Equipment Replacement Funds so that funding is available for replacement when an asset reaches the end of its useful life.
Replacement charges are budgeted in the Department line items for those assets assigned to them. Replacement charges vary by year, based on purchase cycles and annual analysis of the asset costs.
Since FY 2013-14, only 85% of the total projected replacement cost has been charged back to departments for the General Fund. Because the annual replacement charge calculation does not take into consideration interest earnings in the fund and cost savings associated with purchases, this fund tends to experience a growing reserve balance. Using an 85% charge-back methodology reduces the impact to the General Fund while maintaining a sufficient balance to accomplish the necessary equipment purchases. Staff believes this is a sustainable and reasonable approach to implement on an on-going basis. For Fiscal Year 2022-2023, the difference between 100% and 85% chargeback methodologies is approximately $67,000. Based on a similar fund balance analysis for the Water and Wastewater Enterprise Funds, balances were not excessive, so staff does not propose a replacement charge reduction in these funds.
Table 2 summarizes the annual replacement charges for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023, and a general overview of the reasons for the changes in Replacement Charge is included below.
228
General Fund. The most significant adjustment in the General Fund is that the adjustment of a number of Parks projects to align with the Capital Improvement Plan, combined with a push in FY 2021-2022 to fully fund several playground installations, resulted in an overall decrease in replacement charges for playground equipment which, along with other adjustments, resulted in a reduction in charges to the Parks Division of $208,000 as shown in Attachment 4. In addition, the Recreation Division increased and accelerated funding in the previous two fiscal years in order to replace the Gas Kiln in FY 2022-2023, which has now reset to normal levels.
Water Fund. The most significant adjustment in the Water Fund is that the Division added a new category “Large Meter” pools in FY 2021- 2022. These meters represented a large dollar amount that had to be built up quickly. As the pools are purchased, the replacement cost is able to be spread across a much longer timeframe, which significantly reduces the replacement cost. That reduction is offset by other adjustments in the fund, including a built-in cost escalator of 5% per year for all categories of water meters.
Wastewater Fund. There are no significant adjustments in the Wastewater Fund, just minor adjustments to replacement costs and useful lives in items across the fund.
Fund Balances
Table 3 shows that there is sufficient funding for the amount committed to the replacement of identified equipment through the end of FY 2021-2022 based upon a Finance Department Mid-Year Financial analysis.
229
Based on the above discussion of the fund balance, the Equipment Replacement Fund is adequately funded. While the Water Fund is slightly under the funding requirement, staff advises a “wait and see” approach over the next fiscal year. Staff will continue to monitor the fund balances to ensure that adequate funding remains available to address the needs of the operation.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREA
This item supports the mechanism to replace the equipment that supports all of the City’s operations, which enables all of the City’s priority goals, most especially the Facilities and Infrastructure priority area and the Public Safety priority area.

Attachment 1
Equipment Replacement Fund
This fund was established to provide for the timely and orderly replacement of equipment valued over $1,000. This internal service fund allows the City to plan ahead for the replacement of its equipment. The expenditure figure represents the schedule of equipment to be replaced during the fiscal year and deemed to be in need of replacement.
A consistent methodology is used to capture replacement funds for operating department replacement needs. Individually significant assets (over $1,000), or a pool of assets (which may be less than $1,000 individually, but when pooled together exceed $1,000) are assigned replacement values and estimated useful lives. Operating departments are then charged an annual replacement charge such that the replacement value is available upon expiration of the asset. Any changes to replacement values and/or estimated useful lives that occur subsequent to the asset being placed on the Equipment Replacement list are handled on a prospective (or “go-forward”) basis.
This Fund accounts for replacement of assets other than those assets related to Water Operations or Wastewater Operations (which are accounted for in those respective Enterprise funds), or those assets specifically relating to the activities of Vehicle Replacement, Information Technology, and Building Maintenance. 232

DATE: March 28, 2022
TO:
Mayor and Members of the City Council
President and Members of the Estero Municipal Improvement District (EMID) Board of Directors
VIA: Kevin Miller, Interim City/District Manager
FROM: Maria Saguisag-Sid, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: FY 2022-2023 SELF-INSURANCE FUND BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
City of Foster City/EMID ("City") staff seeks reaffirmation of the City Council/EMID Board of Directors' ("City Council") policy to maintain a minimum Self-Insurance Fund Reserve Balance of $1 million. In addition, staff seeks City Council direction for staff to prepare the FY 2022-2023 budget with department assessments in the table below.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Attachment 1 is the analysis of internal service charges and the preliminary proposed budget for FY 2022-2023 for the Self-Insurance Fund. The analysis shows the audited ending fund balance from FY 2020-2021 (June 30, 2021) as $1,293,202. With revenues and expenditures projected through June 30, 2022, the estimated fund balance beginning FY 2022-2023 will be $1,015,302 which is above the $1 million reserve target. While the general liability premium is projected higher than prior years, the City Council’s conservative approach to handling claims helps to keep the expenditures within budget. 255
Expenditures
Expenditures in this fund represent the Pooled Liability Assurance Network Joint Power’s Authority (PLAN JPA) premium and an allowance for expenses that may be incurred below the $100,000 liability self-insured retention (SIR) and property and vehicle damage deductibles.
For FY 2022-2023, the amount budgeted for premiums includes an increase of 47% above the previous year which reflects ongoing volatility in the insurance market that continues to experience considerable losses in natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and fires throughout the United States and in California. This volatility has also resulted in several insurance providers exiting the California market, resulting in fewer providers to provide competitive insurance quotes for the group. PLAN JPA currently uses a third- party claims administrator, Sedgwick, to assist with claims administration.
PLAN JPA’s goal of maintaining the pool’s funding at the 65% confidence level for liability and 70% for property, and the ongoing impact of natural disasters on property insurance premiums are actively being addressed by the PLAN JPA Board.
The actual PLAN JPA liability, property, and cyber premiums will not be finalized until around June 2022, so the figures may be adjusted, if needed, in the final FY 2022-2023 budget prior to adoption. Expenditures within the City’s SIR are estimated to be at or under $130,000, based on current experience.
Revenues/Internal Service Charges
Revenues are derived from internal service charges to the City General Fund, Vehicle Replacement Fund, Water Fund, and Wastewater Fund; interest earnings; and any rebates of the PLAN JPA premiums based on positive experience and PLAN JPA policy. There are no anticipated rebates from PLAN JPA and there are expected additional expenses associated with premium increases, as well as costs associated with PLAN JPA’s administrative overhead and the goal to fund at a higher confidence level.
Based upon projected reserves at the end of FY 2021-2022 which are projected slightly above the $1 million reserve and the projected expenditures 256
for FY 2022-2023, Self-Insurance internal services charges in the following budgets will reflect the assessments as shown below.

CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREA
This item supports the City Council’s Vision and Mission by promoting a sustainable economic environment in a very challenging insurance market.
Our participation in PLAN JPA allows the City to limit excessive liability exposures by sharing the risk among other government agencies, allowing the organization to focus on delivering programs and services while protecting the community’s assets and properties.

Self Insurance Fund
The
Self Insurance Fund was established as a cost savings tool to address the high cost of purchasing commercial liability insurance. The City/District cu rrently has a liability self- insured retention of $100,000, meaning that the City/District pays all expenses associated with a claim up to the first $100,000.
The City of Foster City is a mem ber of a self-insured insurance pool known as Pooled Liability Assurance Network (PLA N) JPA that provides general li ability coverage from $100,000 to $25,000,000 per claim. Any claim over $25,000,000 is the City’s responsibility.
The pool also jointly purchas es all-risk (property) and public officials’ bond insurance coverage for member agencies. PLAN JPA offers additional insur ance, and the City participates in an enhance cyber insurance program.
Expenditures in this fund repres ent the PLAN JPA premium and an allowance for expenses that may be incurred below the $100,000 liability self-insured retention, as well as property and vehicle damage deductibles. PLAN JPA premiums are largely based on the member’s payroll, services provided, and the value of property insured.
Revenues are derived from assessments to the City General Fund, vehicle replacement fund, water fund and wastewater/sewer fund; interest earnings; and any rebates of the PLAN JPA premiums based on positive experience and PLAN policy.
The Self-Insurance Fund is funded to a target reserve level of $1 million.

VIA: Kevin Miller, Interim City Manager
FROM: Jennifer Phan, Interim Deputy City Manager
Rob Lasky, IT Manager
SUBJECT: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTERNAL SERVICE FUND
BUDGET FOR FY 2022-2023
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review this report and its attachments and provide policy direction on the proposed Information Technology (IT) internal service expenditures budget, including the scheduled replacement purchases and Information Technology Fund charges in the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Preliminary Budget.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Attached are the spreadsheets for the Information Technology Equipment Replacement Fund. The City/EMID (“City”) continues to use the Internal Service Fund Methodology developed in FY 2005-2006 in determining the Information Technology Replacement Fund listing for FY 2022-2023.
On an annual basis, the Information Technology Division reviews with each department their list of assets to determine which items are no longer needed, which equipment should be replaced, or which new assets will be requested.
The replacement lives and values of each asset are also reviewed by the IT Division and adjusted where necessary. Assets that are fully funded are not 262
automatically replaced. If it is determined that it is in good working condition, the asset accrual is frozen and no replacement charges are accrued.
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2022-2023 will be $2,403,528 which is $80,370 (or ~3.24%) lower than internal service charges for FY 2021-2022 of $2,483,898. The main reason for the decrease is lower cost capital projects are planned for FY 2022-2023 than those in FY 2021-2022 (namely the high value Permitting System Replacement/Enhancement for $207,750 was in FY 2021-2022, and it is not in FY 2022-2023).
The following list summarizes the items that had the highest impact in the changes to the IT fund:
IT Staffing: With the retirement of one Senior Systems Analyst, IT is looking to fill that position with an entry level Technology Analyst I. In FY 2022-2023, the IT Division is looking to add a second Technology Analyst I to help spread the workload to allow for training and growth of the newer staff members. The fiscal impact is $91,000.
Overall Benefits Increases: Personnel costs were higher due to COLA, Flex Benefits, and Workman’s Comp increases. The fiscal impact is $59,000.
Managed Security Subscription: IT has been looking into Managed Security Subscriptions, which consist of security software (log monitoring, antivirus, intrusion detection, etc.) along with specialists (staff augmentation) at a network operations center to help monitor and respond to potential security incidents. The fiscal impact is $50,000. Increased Annual Software Maintenance: Maintenance costs for multiple vendors is increasing, including Microsoft, CentralSquare (Financial/Payroll/Utility Billing system), and Sunridge (Police CAD/RMS system) .The fiscal impact is $21,000.
IT Strategic Plan: This project was planned for FY 2021-2022, but instead cannot be delivered prior to July 2022 due to shifting priorities.
It has been kept in the operating budget, with the following description:
With the help of a consultant and the input of all stakeholders, the City will develop an IT Strategic Plan that will help identify IT focus areas for the next 5 years. This document will assist stakeholders to make informed decisions about IT resources. The fiscal impact is $60,000. 263
Miscellaneous assets were deferred by departments, but not enough to offset the increases listed above. See Attachment 6 for added or deleted items.
FISCAL IMPACT
Total IT internal service charges for FY 2022-2023 will be $2,403,528 which is $80,370 (or ~3.24%) lower than internal service charges for FY 2021-2022 of $2,483,898. The main reason for the decrease is lower capital replacement costs.
CITY COUNCIL VISION, MISSION, AND VALUE/PRIORITY AREA
The overall IT Division budget is most closely related to the "Innovation and Sustainability" Value/Priority Area. More specifically, funding IT services has a nexus to the initiative to "Prioritize City modernization efforts and explore Foster City applications."
