STAFF REPORT
Date: December 21, 2022 Agenda Item:

A.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Dana Roa, City Clerk
Department: City Clerk
SUBJECT:

Certifying the Consolidated General Election held on November 8, 2022 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-82, reciting the facts of the regular Consolidated General Election held in the City of Norco on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, declaring the results thereof and such other matters as provided by law.

SUMMARY:

The Riverside County Registrar of Voters has certified the November 8, 2022 Election and the certificate of the results of the canvass of election returns has been received by the Norco City Clerk. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution certifying the Consolidated General Election declaring the results thereof.

BACKGROUND:

A Consolidated General Election was held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, to fill two seats on the Norco City Council. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters office reported 14,474 active registered voters. Three (3) candidates were placed on the ballot and the following results were received from the Registrar of Voters with 8,215 total ballots cast (54.86% turnout):

Candidate Vote Count
Kevin Bash 5,258
Greg Newton 4,029
Brent Sakamoto 2,381
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution, certifying the Consolidated General Election. After the Resolution has been approved and adopted, the City Clerk will present the Certificates of Election and administer the Oath of Office to Kevin Bash and Greg Newton.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County of Riverside Registrar of Voters has estimated a cost of $50,000 for the election. Funding for the City’s cost of the election is provided in the FY 2022-2023 Operating Budget. At the time this agenda report was written, the final invoice from the Riverside County Registrar of Voters had not been received, therefore it is not known if a budget adjustment is needed. If a budget adjustment is needed, staff will recommend a budget appropriation amendment during the mid-year budget process.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This is consistent with Strategic Direction #4 - Communication and Stakeholder Experience: Enhance the stakeholder experience, engage the community, and build brand awareness through proactive, effective and consistent communication.

STUDY SESSION
Recycled Water System Condition and Future Use - Oral report Director Blais provided background history pertaining to the City's recycled water system between 2005 to 2008. Due to State permit delays, WRCRWA was unable to discharge recycled water to Norco until the permit was obtained in 2019. As a result, the existing booster station pumps/valves are inoperable due to lack of activity, which now requires replacement.

City Manager Sassoon provided direction to the City Council noting this is just starting a dialogue, no decision needs to be made tonight; staff is looking for direction.

The desired goal of developing a reclaimed water system is to reduce the City’s demand on potable water by offering reclaimed water initially to the Navy and to City parks.

Additional customers might be possible but would require additional mainline infrastructure at a significant cost. Director Blais reviewed the required minimum improvements needed and potential costs to develop a fully functioning reclaimed water system in Norco. The customer rate for reclaimed water cannot be determined until a rate study is done which staff plans to bring on a consultant to assist in preparing the rate study.

Director Blais and City Manager Sassoon answered the Council's questions and staff will bring back additional information about potential options of how the reclaimed water system might be implemented and the construction cost scenarios.

City Attorney announced that City Council will now adjourn to the Closed Session portion of the meeting.

On behalf of Facilities and Maintenance Director Hamilton, City Manager Sassoon stated that although she is unsure the reason, she can only offer that this was a small repair needed of the driveway for Fire Station 47. Adding that typically, this type of project would have gone before the Commission for review.

Mayor Newton had a few questions based on the scope of work needed, but agreed that due to modification on items used, it should have been reviewed by

STUC; adding that Commission input is valuable. Going forward communication with all Commissions is important.

Council Member Hoffman noted that this was a carry-over project from 2021- 2022, could be the reason it didn't go before the Commission.

STAFF REPORT
Date: December 21, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.D.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Cindy Balderas, Human Resources Manager
Department: Human Resources
SUBJECT:

Approval and Adoption of Salary and Benefits Related to Management and MidManagement/ Confidential Personnel for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-83, to approve and update the Salary and Benefits for Management Personnel for Fiscal Year 2022-2023; and Resolution No. 2022-84, to approve and update the Salary and Benefits for Mid-Management/ Confidential Personnel for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

SUMMARY:

The proposed resolution is to update the classifications, compensation, and benefit levels for Management and Mid-Management/Confidential Personnel for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023.

BACKGROUND:

In February of this year the Council adopted the 2022 Strategic Plan. Under Strategic Plan item #2, Human Capital, Action Plan 2.1 is to "Complete and implement a citywide classification and compensation study". June 30, 2022 was the original targeted completion date for this item. Appropriate compensation, classification, and benefit alignment enhances employee engagement and satisfaction.

To complete this study, the City selected Public Sector Personnel Consultants through an RFP process in 2021. With the City Management transition, review and follow up on this study was delayed.

The among the various recommendations coming out of the study, the results of the study indicated that ten classifications were under market by 14% or more of salary. Those classifications are under the Management and Mid-Management/Confidential groups.

With the proposed resolutions, each of these classifications will be brought up to the recommended salary ranges, with an increase of at least 5%.

The resolutions would also move these classifications to a 10 step salary table with 2.5% between each step. The 2.5% in between the steps, instead of the current 5% between steps, will help slow down the growth of payroll as employees progress through their ranges. In addition, this will help mitigate the ongoing cost of implementing the classification and compensation study.

Some additional changes that resulted from the classification and compensation study include title changes for a few of the classifications in order to reflect their current duties or to be more aligned with the current market. The updated classifications are: Community Development Director, Events Services Supervisor, Utility and Public Works Superintendent, and Community Services Manager.

In recognition of the Public Works Supervisor being called out after hours on a consistent basis, and recognizing the unique nature of maintaining the City's water and sewer utility functions at all times, this classification would be converted to a non-exempt status. This change allows the Public Works Supervisor to earn overtime per FLSA rules. The position would not be eligible to receive administrative leave.

The last addition to the current benefits for the Mid-Management/Confidential group is Article XXII - Military Pay. Employees shall be entitled to receive normal salary while on Military Leave. The City shall provide compensation supplementing the employee’s current military pay in an amount sufficient to maintain the employee’s then current level of pay. Inclusion of this policy will support current and future employees that are serving in military reserves, and/or are called up for duty from reserve status.

Looking ahead, implementation of the Classification and Compensation Study for all city personnel remains a goal of the City. It is anticipated that implementation will be the subject of negotiations with all employee groups in the first half of 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Additional cost to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget for salary increases including benefits is $146,588. An amendment for the budget appropriation will be completed during the mid-year budget process.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 2 - Human Capital: Build a sustainable workforce to meet the needs of all stakeholders.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Lisette Free, Finance Director
Department: Finance
SUBJECT:

Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule Including Administrative Budget
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Successor Agency Resolution No. 2022-03, approving the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule including Administrative Budget for the Fiscal Year 2023- 2024.

SUMMARY:

The Successor Agency to the Norco Community Redevelopment Agency (the “Successor Agency”) was formed to administer the enforceable obligations and otherwise unwind the affairs of the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency (the “Former Agency”), all subject to the review and approval by a seven-member Oversight Board. Until June 30, 2018, each Successor Agency had a local Oversight Board that served this purpose.

As of July 1, 2018, all local Oversight Boards have been replaced by consolidated countywide oversight boards as part of the streamlining and wind-down of redevelopment affairs.

Under Section 34171(h), a Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) is "the document setting forth the minimum payment amounts and due dates of payments required by enforceable obligations for each fiscal year as provided in subdivision (o) of Section 34177." Under the mandatory dates in the Dissolution Law, the Successor Agency must submit a copy of the ROPS for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 (ROPS 23-24), after approval from the Oversight Board, to the County Administrative Officer (CAO), County Auditor-Controller (CAC), State Controller’s Office (SCO), and Department of Finance (DOF) by February 1, 2023. The ROPS 2023-2024 contains the same enforceable obligations listed on the ROPS for Fiscal Year 2022-2023.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the Dissolution Act and the additional technical and substantive amendments by the legislature in AB1484 and SB107, the Successor Agency to the

Norco Community Redevelopment Agency has prepared the ROPS 2023-2024 covering Enforceable Obligations for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Staff will present ROPS to the Countywide Oversight Board for consideration and approval at its January 19, 2023 meeting. Following approval by the Oversight Board, the Successor Agency must submit a copy of the ROPS 2023-2024 to the CAO, CAC, SCO, and DOF by February 1, 2023.

The ROPS 2023-2024 provides a list of Eligible Obligations to be paid by the Successor Agency from all funding sources from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. The Eligible Obligations to be paid during this period consist of debt service payments required to be made on bonds issued by the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency for itself and on behalf of the Corona Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) in the amount of $6,061,834; minimum administrative cost allowance to be paid to the Successor Agency in the amount of $250,000. The total amount of obligations requested to be paid from Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund for Fiscal Year 2023-2024 is $6,311,834.

Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF). As part of the State of California’s Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget, in an effort to reduce the State’s budget deficit, redevelopment agencies were required to shift property taxes for two years to the Supplemental Education Revenue Augmentation Fund (SERAF). The State shifted over $2 billion in property taxes statewide. The effect of the transfer increased K-12 and community colleges district revenue and reduced the financial support from the State.

Provisions of the law allowed for Redevelopment Agencies to borrow funds from their lowand moderate-income housing funds. The former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency borrowed $3 million from its Low- and Moderate- Income Housing Fund (LMIHF) to help make the total payment of $4,904,827 required of the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency.

On July 7th, 2010, the former Norco Community Redevelopment Agency approved a resolution regarding the borrowing of funds from the Low- and Moderate-Income Housing Fund to assist with the payment of the SERAF loan. On March 1, 2016, the Oversight Board approved the repayment schedule for the outstanding portion of the loan which was $2,500,000. The SERAF final obligation payment will be made during FY 2022-2023.

As a result, there is no repayment required to be made in Fiscal Year 2023-2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Successor Agency is limited to making payments reflected on an approved ROPS; therefore, approval of the ROPS by the Successor Agency, Oversight Board and DOF is essential to the continued operation of the Successor Agency and winding down of the affairs of the Former Agency. If the ROPS are approved, the General Fund will receive the minimum administrative cost reimbursement of $250,000.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This item is consistent with Strategic Directive No. 3 - Economic Development and Financial Stability: Assure financial stability by expanding development efforts, diversifying revenue sources and continuing prudent financial management.

SUBJECT:

Update Part-Time Employee Salary Schedule to Correspond with State of California Minimum Wage Requirements and Making Other Adjustments
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution No. 2022-85, to approve an update to Part-Time Employee Salary Schedule to Correspond with State of California Minimum Wage Requirements.

SUMMARY:

Effective January 1, 2023, the minimum wage in California will be increased to $15.50 per hour for all employees. The current State minimum wage for employers is $15.00 per hour for employers with 26 or more employees. The $15.50 minimum wage applies to employers regardless of the number of employees they employ. The proposed resolution will address critical shortages in part-time employees by placing all part-time positions slightly above the new minimum wage, and making other adjustments to maintain appropriate alignment with full-time positions.

BACKGROUND:

On July 27, 2022, the California Department of Finance certified that based on the annual inflation rate from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, under Labor Code section 1182.12(c)(3)(A), the State hourly minimum wage must be increased, effective January 1, 2023, to $15.50 an hour (regardless of the number of workers employed by an employer).

The City has had a difficult time recruiting and retaining part-time staff. Therefore, to help with recruiting and retaining part-time staff, the recommendation is to increase the City's minimum salary paid to $16.00 an hour, and to increase the number of steps in the salary range from 5 to 10 with a 2.5% between steps. This 2.5% in between the steps will help slow payroll growth as employees progress through their ranges, and is consistent with that proposed for Management and Mid-Management/Supervisory positions being adjusted on this same agenda.

Additionally, some of the classification titles were updated to reflect current duties of the position or to make it more related to the needs of the organization.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Additional cost for the remaining of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 operating budget for salary increases is $32,000. The cost will be covered by salary savings from applicable department's FY 2022-2023 Operating Budgets.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Direction No. 2 - Human Capital: Build a sustainable workforce to meet the needs of all stakeholders.

Accept bids and award a contract to Kirtley Construction, Inc, dba TK Construction for the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project in the amount of $1,372,300; and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10 percent of the total bid amount; and increase Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-2027 CIP Sewer Funding in the amount of $610,000 for the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project.

SUMMARY:

Bids for the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project were opened on November 30, 2022, with Kirtley Construction, Inc, dba TK Construction of San Bernardino, California being the lowest responsible bidder. Therefore, it is recommended that a contract be awarded to Kirtley Construction, Inc, dba TK Construction in the amount of $1,372,300 and authorize the City Manager to approve contract change orders up to 10 percent of the total bid amount.

BACKGROUND:

Plans and specifications for the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project were advertised on October 27, 2022, with a bid opening date of November 30, 2022. A total of eight (8) bids were received with bids ranging in value from $1,372,300 to $2,556,406.

The bid summary analysis has been attached for Council’s review. The Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project includes the removal and replacement of the existing lift station located on Shawnee Drive (See Project Exhibit).

Staff has reviewed all the bids submitted and determined that Kirtley Construction, Inc, dba TK Construction of San Bernardino, California as being the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $1,372,300 (See Bid Proposal). Staff has reviewed the references of the

lowest bidder and bid documents submitted and determined the bid is responsive to all requirements and the contractor has the experience to complete the required construction activities for the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project.

The Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project has an approved design and construction budget of $1,000,000 (Fund 147 - Project Numbers 4811.2; Account Numbers 147.960.43250 & 147.960.43250.30). Unfortunately, the approved budgeted amount for the project (based on past similar work) proved not to be sufficient based on the current market for construction costs that has impacted many other construction projects already this year. As a result, the $1,000,000 budget is insufficient to fund the low bid amount.

Therefore, staff is recommending approval to amend the FY 2023-2027 CIP Budget to increase the project budget in the amount of $610,000 to ensure sufficient funding for the project ($1,372,300), the 10% contingency, and $100,000 for construction engineering/inspection services.

The additional funding for construction engineering support is necessary for the Krieger & Stewart to assist in review/approval of submittals for construction. Staff also plans to bring on additional inspection services to monitor the construction activities that should be funded by the project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project was approved as a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects in the Sewer Fund in Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Funds in the amount of $1,000,000 were carried over to FY 2022-2023 but are not sufficient to fund the lowest bid amount including the 10% contingency, design and inspection costs. The Sewer Fund has an estimated available fund balance in the amount of $5.8 million. Additional funds will be appropriated for construction and inspection costs in the amount of $610,000 (Project Number 4811.2; Account Numbers 147.960.43250 & 147.960.43250.30).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Construction of the Shawnee Lift Station Replacement Project is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

Any failure to maintain the required insurance shall be sufficient cause for City to terminate this Contract.

The duty to indemnify City shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies are applicable. The policy limits do not act as a limitation upon the amount of indemnification to be provided by Contractor.

3.2.11.3 Bond Provisions. Should, in City’s sole opinion, any bond become insufficient or any surety be found to be unsatisfactory, Contractor shall renew or replace the affected bond within 10 days of receiving notice from City. In the event the surety or Contractor intends to reduce or cancel any required bond, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to the City, and Contractor shall post acceptable replacement bonds at least ten (10) days prior to expiration of the original bonds. No further payments shall be deemed due or will be made under this Agreement until any replacement bonds required by this section are accepted by the City. To the extent, if any, that the total compensation is increased in accordance with the Agreement, the Contractor shall, upon request of the City, cause the amount of the bonds to be increased accordingly and shall promptly deliver satisfactory evidence of such increase to the City. To the extent available, the bonds shall further provide that no change or alteration of the Agreement (including, without limitation, an increase in the total compensation, as referred to above), extensions of time, or modifications of the time, terms, or conditions of payment to the Contractor, will release the surety.

If the Contractor fails to furnish any required bond, the City may terminate this Agreement for cause.

STAFF REPORT
Date: December 21, 2022 Agenda Item:

2.I.

To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Prepared By: Chad Blais, Public Works Director
Department: Public Works
SUBJECT:

Acceptance of Proposal for Rate Study Professional Consulting Services RECOMMENDATION:

Accept the proposal submitted by Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to provide Professional Consulting Services for the preparation of a Water, Sewer, and Reclaimed Water Rate Study in the amount not to exceed $85,255; and increase Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 Water and Sewer Operating Funds in the amount of $45,000 respectively for the Water, Sewer, and Reclaimed Water Rate Study.

SUMMARY:

Staff is seeking professional consulting services to conduct water, sewer and reclaimed water rate study and requested a proposal from Stantec to provide these rate analysis services.

BACKGROUND:

The City has been developing and installing the backbone infrastructure for a reclaimed (aka recycled) water system to provide reclaimed water to the City parks, facilities, and potentially private companies that can utilize recycled water. However, prior to delivering any reclaimed water to potential customers, the City must establish a reclaimed water rate through a detailed rate analysis. The City previously completed a rate analysis study for water and sewer utilizing Stantec Consulting Services Inc (Stantec) in 2016; the performance of Stantec and its Project Director, David Hyder, was a very professional and positive experience. Therefore, staff elected to once again seek Professional Consulting Services to conduct water, sewer and reclaimed water rate study and requested a proposal from Stantec Inc. to provide these rate analysis services.

Stantec submitted a proposal for Rate Analysis of Water, Wastewater and Reclaimed Water Enterprises with a cost of $85,255 (see Stantec proposal). Staff has reviewed the proposal to ensure completeness of proposal and format; quality of work previously performed; understanding of scope of work; experience of project team; references;

availability of resources to perform work; proposed work schedule; and cost of services.

In addition, David Hyder, Senior Principle & Project Director, will once again be leading the Stantec team and personally presenting rate study results and recommendations at all the outreach meetings that will be conducted as part of the rate analysis process.

The completion of a rate analysis study was not originally planned for Fiscal Year 2022- 2023 and funding was not included in the approved operating budget.

Therefore, staff is recommending approval to increase Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Water and Sewer Operating Funds in the amount of $45,000 respectively for the Water, Sewer, and Reclaimed Water Rate Study; accept the proposal and approve a contract with Stantec to provide Professional Consulting Services to complete a rate analysis for water, sewer, and reclaimed water; and authorize the City manager to approve a purchase order in an amount not-to-exceed $85,255.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The preparation of the water, sewer, and reclaimed water rate analysis was not included in the approved operations budget for FY 2022-2023. Upon approval of recommendation, staff will increase the budget for the water and sewer operations funds by a total of $90,000 ($45,000 to Water Operating Fund - 124-804-34100; $45,000 to Sewer Operating Fund - 126-809-34100).

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

Completion of rate analysis for water, sewer, and reclaimed water is consistent with Strategic Direction #5 – Infrastructure and Asset Management: Ensure timely preservation, replacement, improvement and acquisition of infrastructure and capital assets.

1 1. UNDERSTANDING OF SCOPE OF SERVICES
Effective utility management in areas where water resources are limited requires the careful integration of cost allocation and pricing strategies into overall conservation and water supply plans. A careful and thorough analysis of the various types of costs of service must be combined with the proper rate design and communication strategies to ensure a fair and equitable rate structure that sends the correct pricing signals and can be understood by customers. Utility managers in this circumstance face large and complex risks that are unknown to areas where water supply is plentiful. In major water-challenged cities from California, to Colorado, Arizona, and Texas, our consultants have dealt with similar issues that currently confront the City of Norco.

It is our understanding that the City is seeking a qualified professional consulting firm such as Stantec, to assist the City in analyzing its current rate structure for water and sewer services and to evaluate other potential rate structures that would provide increased revenue stability and that are equitable and defendable. In addition, Stantec will help the City establish a rate structure for its new reclaimed water system. For each fund, we will evaluate the revenue requirements, including capital, operations and maintenance expenditures, bond debt coverage and reserves for both capital and operations. We will perform a cost allocation analysis to ensure that the rate plans are equitable to all customer classes including residential, commercial and non-connect customers in addition to ensuring that the rates recommended during the study are in compliance with Proposition 218.

Our approach to completing a utility rate study is focused on an interactive decision support process.

While our team will facilitate all aspects of the study, provide industry expertise and specific recommendations, we believe that input from the City is essential to the process. It is vital for the study to reflect the unique nature and specific needs of the City. Our interactive process effectively facilitates this input in an efficient manner while providing transparency and ultimately a comprehensive look at our clients’ utility systems. To facilitate the process we will use our industry-leading financial model.

To properly calibrate the modules of our financial model to precisely simulate the City’s utility systems, we will gather and review a significant amount of information, including historical and projected operating and capital budgets, audited financial statements, facility plans, bond/loan agreements, service agreements, historical, current, and expected usage data.

We will then conduct multiple interactive decision support work sessions with City Staff with the financial model and running with the “control panel.” The interactive process allows us to work closely with our clients to conduct a transparent analysis and to clearly and quickly identify and understand the drivers and impacts of any decision alternative. We can evaluate alternative assumptions and scenarios “on-the-fly” as the discussion progresses. This allows us to work towards solutions with an understanding of the short and long-term consequences of each scenario to the utility and its customers.

Based upon the City’s desired scope of services, we use the following sections to describe how we will use the financial model to accomplish the City’s desired tasks, and how we provide a complete evaluation of all aspects of your utility systems.

2 2. METHODOLOGY
To initialize the study, we will meet with City staff to discuss key issues, data requirements, and the overall project schedule, which will identify key milestones for deliverables, including draft and final reports. The kickoff meeting is the first of several project management meetings during the course of the project. Subsequent project management meetings will address project issues including execution of the scope, review and acceptance of deliverables, budget and time performance, and internal coordination issues necessary for the timely completion of the project. Once data has been received, we will review all data in detail, including regulatory requirements, historical and future operating expenses, debt service, reserve policies, billing procedures, existing rate structures, customer characteristics, system and capital improvement information, and other data provided by City staff.

We have divided our work plan into three work elements: Water & Wastewater Enterprise Fund Analysis, Reclaimed Water Enterprise Fund Analysis, and Deliverables. Please note that tasks within each element may be conducted concurrently, contingent on the receipt of data as well as the final project schedule.

Work Element I: Water & Wastewater Enterprise Funds
Task 1: Revenue Sufficiency Analysis and Financial Planning Analysis We will use the financial model to develop multi-year financial management plan for the water, wastewater and reclaimed water enterprise funds, including projected annual revenue requirements and rate adjustments. This model allows examination of historical operating expenses, growth and consumption trends, alternative capital improvement spending levels, debt service coverage ratios, levels of operating and capital reserves, and other financial policies/goals that affect the revenue requirements of the funds.

In addition to evaluating financial goals and objectives, we will also evaluate alternative demand projections, cost escalation factors, changes in usage patterns, elasticity of customer demand in response to rate increases, and other variables that could affect the financial performance of the City.

One item of particular importance is the projection of volumetric sales. Water use patterns are influenced by price signals, and change in customer behavior can also be affected by other non-price factors, such as rainfall, conservation programs, and economic conditions. We will analyze probable ranges of demand changes in response to different degrees of rate increases, weather patterns, rate structure changes, etc.

Prudent planning requires that utilities prepare for reductions and changes in demand patterns, and such planning will be incorporated to achieve financial targets and fund balances as described below.

The financial model provides a valuable capital planning tool which we will use to review the City’s capital improvement program, and to evaluate the impacts of alternative projects, costs, timing, and funding sources. Our capital planning tool allows us to evaluate the current and recommended investments for improvements as well renewal and replacement of utility systems and the financial impacts to the rate payers. For all scenarios reviewed, the financial model will develop a funding plan, including the identification of the amount, timing, and type of borrowing required as may be necessary. We will examine each enterprise fund’s use of debt financing for capital improvements and assess the impact of current levels of debt financing, as well as building a financing scenario to support the City in maintaining a proper balance for debt coverage and rate stabilization over the study period.

Closely related to this analysis is an examination of adequacy of reserves for operating and capital projects. Adequate reserves are fundamental to achieving financial stability, and can help some systems to avoid sudden or disruptive rate adjustments in the face of unanticipated operating or capital

Stantec // City of Norco // Rate Analysis of Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed Water Enterprises

3 needs. We will examine the City’s fund balances and incorporate these balances and alternative reserve policies into the interactive planning process and the conversations we will have regarding financial sustainability.

Task 2: Cost of Service Allocation Analysis
The cost allocation analysis will allow for the total cost of service and revenue requirements for the water and wastewater systems to be functionalized and distributed to customer classes. Each utility system’s cost of service and revenue requirements are functionalized to defined segments, which are then allocated to each class of customer based upon the characteristics or units of service of each respective class of customer. An example of typical functions and customer classes for a water system is presented in the following charts. Please note that system functions and customer classes are unique to each community and would be determined for the City based upon a review of its system/user data.

We identify the most appropriate Prop 218-compliant cost-of-service allocation methodologies and rate structures based upon available data, legal requirements, system configuration, service agreements, resources, customer base, demand and usage characteristics, local practice, and public policy objectives. We then customize the cost allocation module to employ the identified methodologies and concepts best suited for each utility system. At this time, we can also evaluate the various customer classes and recommend any changes, which may include adding a customer class or combining existing customer classes, based upon the results of the cost allocation analysis.

At the conclusion of the cost allocation portion of the analysis, we compare the resulting allocation of revenue requirements to the revenue generated by the current rates for each customer class. To the extent current revenue recovery levels are not in line with the results of the cost-of-service allocation analysis, we evaluate alternative levels of revenue recovery by class of customer within the rate structure analysis that would better comport with the identified cost of service allocations.

Task 3: Rate Design
At this point, we will also perform an independent review of the current rate structures for each customer class and examine alternative rate structures using our rate design model. The rate structure will be evaluated to determine if they may better serve the City’s fiscal stability and/or public policy objectives relating to fixed cost recovery, economic development, conservation, and affordability, while ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of costs, and conformance to accepted industry practice, legal precedent, and terms of any service agreements. Similarly, we can also evaluate the distribution of costs between the fixed and variable components of the rate structure, and will make recommendations that are consistent with your cost recovery objectives and consider your reserve policies as well as revenue stability and affordability objectives.

The revenue requirements determined in the revenue sufficiency and financial planning module for the first projected fiscal year are linked to the cost allocation and rate design model, which calculates specific rates necessary for each customer class to generate the required revenues based upon proper allocation of costs and the specified rate structure, or rate structure alternatives.

Work Element II: Reclaimed Water Enterprise Fund
The City of Norco does not currently sell reclaimed water to customers located within the City. While a recycled water system has been constructed, recycled water from the Western Riverside County Regional Water Cost of Service → Source of Supply → Treatment → Transmission → Pumping → Metering → Billing & Collection → Residential → General Service → Residential Irrigation → General Irrigation → University → Wholesale Customer Classes Cost Functions

4 Wastewater Treatment Plant (WRCRWTP) has not been approved by the state for reclaimed water. The City currently supplies non-potable water through the reclaimed water system to City parks and parkways.

Our project team has assisted several communities with the establishment of reclaimed water rates during the startup phase of the utility. The specific tasks identified below recognize the startup nature of the reclaimed water system.

Task 4: Reclaimed Water Cost Determination
Our project team will work with the City to identify the current and future costs associated with providing reclaimed water service. The cost determination will include estimates of costs associated with treatment, pumping, storage, and transmission of reclaimed water. The costs will be loaded into our revenue sufficiency and financial planning module to develop multi-year financial management plan for the reclaimed water enterprise fund, including projected annual revenue requirements.

Task 5: Estimate of Potential Demand and Usage
In order to evaluate reclaimed water rates for the City it will be necessary to develop an estimate of the potential demand for reclaimed water service within the City. Our project team will work with the City to identify the potential demands by various classes of customers within the City (typically retail and bulk/wholesale). Based on our experience, it is fairly common for a new reclaimed system to initially serve bulk customers for a period of time prior to transitioning to serving retail customers given the additional infrastructure that is often required to provide retail service.

Task 6: Cost of Service Allocation Analysis
The annual revenue requirements identified in Task 4 will be functionalized and distributed to the potential customer classes identified in Task 5. The cost allocation process will be based on the costs associated with serving the potential customer classes. For example, bulk customers would be allocated treatment and transmission costs, but storage and pumping costs may be excluded if bulk customer have onsite storage facilities. Additionally, the task will identify the fixed and variable cost components related to providing reclaimed water service.

Task 7: Level of Cost Recovery and Rate Design
When the revenue requirements have been identified, and the cost allocation has been complete, we will develop reclaimed water rates. The key considerations for the development of the reclaimed water rates will include:
 The level of reclaimed water service cost recovery (it is fairly common for a reclaimed water system to not fully recover the cost of providing reclaimed service)  The potential structure of fixed fee for reclaimed service  The development of the variable rate structure
Our project team will work with the City Staff to evaluate the level of cost recovery and to evaluate the various rate structure options. Based on the evaluation of the various options, recommended reclaimed water rates will be developed.

Work Element III: Deliverables
Task 8: Rate and Bill Comparisons
We will provide a comparison of water, sewer and reclaimed water rates and sample customer bills for comparable and surrounding utilities.

5 Task 9: Reports and Presentations
At the conclusion of the study we will prepare written reports of the analysis that will detail the analysis, conclusions and recommendations of the study. We will first prepare a draft report, provide to City staff for comment, and then incorporate any edits into a final report. Additionally, we will present the results at three meetings including one public workshop with Streets, Trails and Utilities Committee, one public workshop with City Council, and a final public hearing to adopt the new rates. The presentations are critical not just to comply with Prop 218 noticing requirements, but also to generate acceptance of the study recommendations. Additional presentations can be provided, as requested.

It is important to note that we do require the City to sign a usage and non-disclosure agreement in order to protect the propriety nature of our financial model and to allow for our review of the model to ensure its accuracy for the City’s protection. Within the agreement, we also typically identify the parameters for any future module maintenance assistance, updates, and support services the City may desire to ensure its future beneficial use of the modules. Upon request, we can provide a sample agreement used with another of our clients.

7 Stantec is uniquely qualified to perform the requested services because of the long history of experience in financial services focused on utilities and local government. Our team has helped nearly 350 communities – including over 30 in California. It may be useful to note that while we are a dedicated financial services practice, we are part of a larger water group in Stantec that supports the operations and design of water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities. We have a global engineering firm as a resource for any technical support needed during the study.

We currently have hundreds of contracts with California local government clients.

We are proposing an integrated and well-rounded project team of financial consultants. Our financial consulting team includes experts in the field of water and sewer rate design, cost of service, and the requirements for implementing rates in accordance with California law, namely Propositions 218 and 26. Our experienced staff have depth and breadth of knowledge, backgrounds working with utilities to develop financial plans, and design rates and fees as requested by the District. Stantec’s team of financial and management consultants are recognized industry experts having contributed to all major publications and reference materials. We have also conducted rate training classes for AWWA, WEF, Michigan State University, the Carl Vinson Institute of Government, and private professional training organizations.

Our senior team members are contributing authors to the leading industry publications on water and wastewater rates, and routinely give presentations and teach classes on water resources utility ratemaking across the country. The leaders in Stantec’s Financial Services team are widely recognized as experts in the municipal rate consulting industry, and have:
 Contributed to AWWA’s primary water rate manual M-1
 Contributed to WEF’s wastewater rate Manual of Practice No. 27  Contributed to AWWA’s alternative rate manual M-54
 Contributed to AWWA’s capital financing manual M-29
 Contributed to AWWA’s cash reserve policy report
 Conducted training for Michigan State University’s Ratemaking Class
 Served as chair to AWWA’s Rates and Charges Committee  Provided testimony and expert witness services
We have structured our project team with members who are particularly strong in the following areas:
 Multi-Year Financial Management Plans. Our financial planning platform was designed for systems of similar size operated by local government agencies, and include capital planning, operations, and maintenance expense budgeting, grant and debt financing, and financial management targets and reserve policies.

8  Cost-Based Rates. We develop rates that reflect clear allocations of cost to customers based on valid criteria and usage characteristics. Our approach yields fair and equitable rates by customer class that meet the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218.  Robust and Defensible Rate Design. Stantec leads the industry in rate structure concepts that address specific local policy objectives including conservation, affordability, and revenue stability, while conforming to accepted industry practice and legal precedent.  Reserve Policy. Our team members work closely with utilities across the country to craft reserve policies that provide resilience from financial shock due to unexpected infrastructure failure, natural disaster, drought, and changes in the local economy.
 Communication. We pride ourselves on clear, concise communication with and on behalf of our clients. Public support for rate changes depends on if the public perceives the rates as fair. This perception depends on, among other things, the clarity of our presentations and discussions at public meetings.

We have selected a team of committed and highly experienced firm personnel for this project. We have team members who will dedicate a significant portion of their time to independent quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) reviews, in order to provide internal auditing of the work products we prepare for the City.

WATER AND SEWER RATE STUDY & ANALYSIS
Whittier Utility Authority, California
Located approximately 12 miles southeast of Los Angeles, the City of Whittier is a predominantly residential community with a population of approximately 87,400 people. The City engaged Stantec to update its water and sewer user rates, and to update the water connection fee and develop a new connection fee for the sewer utility.

This project focused on helping the City become well positioned financially over the next five to ten years to provide ongoing operations while largely cash funding their utility capital improvement programs. Much of the City’s water and sewer infrastructure was built in the 1950s during a post WWII construction boom. Now the City’s utility infrastructure is ageing and in need of repair and replacement. In addition, the City wishes to continue to provide the same level of utility service to new development within the City, and therefore must fund and construct infrastructure projects to serve incoming residents and businesses without burdening existing rate payers.

Stantec’s work with the City included development of a 10-year financial forecast using Stantec’s FAMS modeling framework. Of key interest to the City was the ability to evaluate capital planning scenarios, flexing key variables including annual pipe replacement, operating and capital reserve development, and a combination of capital financing alternatives. This process of scenario analysis allowed the City to start with a project wish list, and then adjust and revise capital improvement programs to prioritize certain projects and maintain their stated planning goals and targets.

Stantec worked with the City to complete an updated cost of service analysis to account for new cost-drivers and help customer classes adequately reflect the needs of the City. Following completion of this COS study, Stantec developed a revised rate structure, focused on providing revenue stability while maintaining the ability to promote conservation and affordability. Stantec also prepared the utility connection fee analyses and recommended updated fees.

Stantec assisted the City in communicating the need for updated rates and fees to the City Council and community of rate payers. New rates and charges were adopted in June of 2019.
