STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: TYSON PARDEE, MANAGER

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIVISION
RE: CONTRACT WITH ULTRA LINK CABLING SYSTEMS, INC FOR CITY

HALL NETWORK REWIRE
DATE: APRIL 2, 2024

SUMMARY
The Council will consider accepting bids and approving contract with Ultra Link Cabling Systems, Inc. for an upgrade to the network wiring at City Hall.

DISCUSSION
The network ethernet cabling at City Hall is old and numerous connections are starting to fail.

There are multiple data closets which are unnecessary, add more complexity and decrease security within the network. This rewire would consolidate and centralize all connections to the server room to increase security and decrease complexity. As technology has changed, and is ever changing, the need for this upgrade is long overdue. This rewire will also include the addition of more connections throughout the building to make room for future technology.

On January 16, 2024, a request for proposals was published with a closing date of February 29, 2024. The request was for a complete rewire of City Hall which it includes the removal of all old cabling.

As of February 29, 2024, (8) eight proposals were received. The proposals were from Ultra Link Cabling Systems, Inc., HCI Systems, Inc., World Telecom & Surveillance, Inc., X-ACT Technology Solutions, Tec-Com Low Voltage Solutions, Inc., HHS Construction, LLC, Telcom Data, LLC and Gigakom. The information from each proposal was compiled and reviewed by the IT Department.

After reviewing the information within the bids, the IT department would like to enter into an agreement with Ultra Link Cabling Systems, Inc. Ultra Link was the lowest bid, and their proposal meets all of the requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT

SUMMARY
The Council will consider accepting bids and approving contract with Tec-Com Low Voltage Solutions, Inc. for a camera surveillance system for the public safety facility.

1) All cameras are NDAA and TAA compliant.
2) Dedicated hardware which includes servers and network switches. 3) Video storage for a 90-day retention period.
4) Expandability – The ability to expand the video storage as more cameras are brought into the system.
5) Install and configuration of the hardware and software.

Key features and technologies
AXIS Object Analytics
AXIS Object Analytics is a preinstalled, multifeatured video analytics that detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles. Thanks to AI-based algorithms and be-havioral conditions, it analyzes the scene and their spatial behavior within – all tailored to your specific needs. Scal-able and edge-based, it requires minimum effort to set up and supports various scenarios running simultaneously.

Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault is the hardware-based cybersecurity plat-form that safeguards the Axis device. It forms the founda-tion that all secure operations depend on and offers fea-tures to protect the device’s identity, safeguard its integrity from factory and protect sensitive information from unau-thorized access.

Establishing the root of trust starts at the device’s boot process. In Axis devices, the hardware-based mecha-nism secure boot verifies the operating system (AXIS OS) that the device is booting from. AXIS OS, in turn, is cryp-tographically signed (signed firmware) during the build process. Secure boot and signed firmware tie into each
other and ensure that the firmware has not been tampered with during the lifecycle of the device and that the device only boots from authorized firmware. This creates an
unbroken chain of cryptographically validated software for the chain of trust that all secure operations depend on.

From a security aspect, the secure keystore is the crit-ical building-block for protecting cryptographic informa-tion used for secure communication (IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, Axis device ID, access control keys etc..) against mali-cious extraction in the event of a security breach. The se-cure keystore is provided through a Common Criteria and/or FIPS 140 certified hardware-based cryptographic comput-ing module. Depending on security requirements, an Axis device can have either one or multiple such modules, like a TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) or a secure element, and/or a system-on-chip (SoC) embedded Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

Signed video ensures that video evidence can be verified as untampered without proving the chain of custody of the video file. Each camera uses its unique video signing key, which is securely stored in the secure keystore, to add a sig-nature into the video stream. This allows video to be traced back to the Axis camera from where it originated, so it’s possible to verify that the footage has not been tampered with after it left the camera.

To read more about Axis Edge Vault, go to axis.com/solu-tions/edge-vault.

Zipstream
The Axis Zipstream technology preserves all the important forensic in the video stream while lowering bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50%. Zipstream also includes three intelligent algorithms, which ensure that rel-evant forensic information is identified, recorded, and sent in full resolution and frame rate.

Key features and technologies
AXIS Object Analytics
AXIS Object Analytics is a preinstalled, multifeatured video analytics that detects and classifies humans, vehicles, and types of vehicles. Thanks to AI-based algorithms and be-havioral conditions, it analyzes the scene and their spatial behavior within – all tailored to your specific needs. Scal-able and edge-based, it requires minimum effort to set up and supports various scenarios running simultaneously.

Axis Edge Vault
Axis Edge Vault is the hardware-based cybersecurity plat-form that safeguards the Axis device. It forms the founda-tion that all secure operations depend on and offers fea-tures to protect the device’s identity, safeguard its integrity from factory and protect sensitive information from unau-thorized access.

Establishing the root of trust starts at the device’s boot process. In Axis devices, the hardware-based mecha-nism secure boot verifies the operating system (AXIS OS) that the device is booting from. AXIS OS, in turn, is cryp-tographically signed (signed firmware) during the build process. Secure boot and signed firmware tie into each
other and ensure that the firmware has not been tampered with during the lifecycle of the device and that the device only boots from authorized firmware. This creates an
unbroken chain of cryptographically validated software for the chain of trust that all secure operations depend on.

From a security aspect, the secure keystore is the crit-ical building-block for protecting cryptographic informa-tion used for secure communication (IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, Axis device ID, access control keys etc..) against mali-cious extraction in the event of a security breach. The se-cure keystore is provided through a Common Criteria and/or FIPS 140 certified hardware-based cryptographic comput-ing module. Depending on security requirements, an Axis device can have either one or multiple such modules, like a TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) or a secure element, and/or a system-on-chip (SoC) embedded Trusted Execution Environment (TEE).

Signed video ensures that video evidence can be verified as untampered without proving the chain of custody of the video file. Each camera uses its unique video signing key, which is securely stored in the secure keystore, to add a sig-nature into the video stream. This allows video to be traced back to the Axis camera from where it originated, so it’s possible to verify that the footage has not been tampered with after it left the camera.

To read more about Axis Edge Vault, go to axis.com/solu-tions/edge-vault.

Lightfinder
The Axis Lightfinder technology delivers high-resolution, full-color video with a minimum of motion blur even in near darkness. Because it strips away noise, Lightfinder makes dark areas in a scene visible and captures details in very low light. Cameras with Lightfinder discern color in low light better than the human eye. In surveillance, color may be the critical factor to identify a person, an object, or a vehicle.

OptimizedIR
Axis OptimizedIR provides a unique and powerful combi-nation of camera intelligence and sophisticated LED tech-nology, resulting in our most advanced camera-integrated IR solutions for complete darkness. In our pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras with OptimizedIR, the IR beam automatically adapts and becomes wider or narrower as the camera zooms in and out to make sure that the entire field of view is al-ways evenly illuminated.

Zipstream
The Axis Zipstream technology preserves all the important forensic in the video stream while lowering bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50%. Zipstream also includes three intelligent algorithms, which ensure that rel-evant forensic information is identified, recorded, and sent in full resolution and frame rate.

STAFF REPORT
TO: MAYOR PITTMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: JESS DARNELL, ASSISTANT CHIEF OF POLICE
RE: ADDITION OF SCHOOL SERGEANT CLASSIFICATION
DATE: APRIL 2, 2024

SUMMARY
The Council will consider adding the classification of School Sergeant. This change will better meet the needs of the Oroville Police Department, in order to solidify important leadership and supporting positions.

DISCUSSION
The Oroville Police Department requests to make the following change to the department’s structure:

1. Authorize the creation and filling (two allocations) of the School Sergeant job classification.

School Sergeant
The Oroville Police Department currently has five permanent Sergeants. Two of the Sergeants are currently assigned to the position of School Resource Officer (SRO).

These Sergeants perform very important work in the schools and are necessary to help secure our most precious asset, our children. To ensure better patrol supervision, the Department would like to create a new classification for these duties, School Sergent, and reclassify these Sergeants to this new classification. The new position will be placed at the same salary range as SRO Sergeants. The two allocations of School Sergeant would replace two existing Officer allocations, resulting in a slight increase to salary and benefits, however, keeping the allocations to the department the same.

Having adequate Sergeants working patrol is critical to the success of our organization.

Sergeants are necessary for each shift to ensure compliance with Department rules and regulations, to assist with complex cases, to counsel Officers as necessary, to direct responses, and to facilitate mutual aid requests. Currently the Department does 113

not have the desired coverage to perform all these duties, twenty-four hours/day, seven days/week.

The Oroville Police Department needs to add two additional sergeant positions to the structure to ensure adequate supervision of all patrol shifts. The Department plans to do a comprehensive full recruitment to ensure we bring on the most qualified candidates to the organization. The additional cost for these positions (approximately $35,000 annually plus roll ups) will come salary savings that are already in the current Fiscal Year budget due to vacancies.

FISCAL IMPACT
Fiscal impact of approximately $35,000 annually plus roll ups. Funding is available within the existing operational budget of the Oroville Police Department. This will require an increase in the budget next fiscal year.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Authorize the job classification of School Sergeant, the conversion of two vacant Police Officers to School Sergeants

All conditions of Government Code 65852.26 apply, including but not limited to the requirement for separate utilities for the ADU and a 45-year low-income restriction on the JADU or ADU, whichever is proposed.
(1) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Qualified buyer” means persons and families of low or moderate income, as that term is defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code. (b) “Qualified nonprofit corporation” means a nonprofit corporation organized pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code that has received a welfare exemption under Section 214.15 of the Revenue and Taxation Code for properties intended to be sold to low-income families who participate in a special no-interest loan program.

O. Use Restriction.

1. Any single-family zoned property with a primary residence and an ADU constructed after January 1, 2025, shall be occupied by the property owner in either residence on the subject property. “Constructed” shall mean any ADU for which a building permit was applied for after January 1, 2025.
130
Item 6.
10 2. Prior to obtaining a building permit for an ADU or JADU, a deed restriction, approved by the City, shall be recorded with the County Recorder's office, which shall include the prohibition on the use of any dwelling on the subject parcel for transient habitation. The deed shall state the ADU or JADU lease agreement shall be for a term equal to or greater than thirty (30) days.

3. The property owner shall provide the city, upon written request, a copy of the rental agreement with the occupant of the ADU or JADU. The ADU or JADU may not be sub-let or rented out to another individual or entity by the occupant.

4. The deed restriction may be removed if the owner eliminates the ADU or JADU, as evidenced by, for example, removal of the kitchen facilities. To remove the deed restriction, an owner may make a written request of the zoning administrator, providing evidence that the ADU or JADU has in fact been eliminated. The City Building Department shall confirm this evidence in writing. The zoning administrator may then determine whether the evidence supports the claim that the ADU or JADU has been eliminated. Appeal may be taken from the zoning administrator’s determination consistent with other provisions of this code. If the ADU or JADU is not entirely physically removed but is only eliminated by virtue of having a necessary component of an ADU or JADU removed, the remaining structure and improvements must otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this code.

5. The deed restriction is enforceable by the zoning administrator or his/her designee for the benefit of the city. Failure of the property owner to comply with the deed restriction may result in legal action against the property owner, and the city is authorized to obtain any remedy available to it at law or equity, including, but not limited to, obtaining an injunction enjoining the use of the ADU or JADU in violation of the recorded restrictions or abatement of the illegal unit.

P. Conflicts If this ordinance conflicts with State law at the time an ADU or JADU building permit is submitted to the city, the State law shall govern. Where the Zoning Ordinance is silent, State law shall prevail for ADUs and JADUs.

Section 4: Environmental Determination.

Zoning Code Amendment ZC23-02 is not subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Existing Facilities, Title 14, CCR, §15301. This ordinance is applicable city-wide to existing residential properties and structures in compliance with State planning law. The additional residential units 131
Item 6.
11 created through this ordinance are exempt from density restrictions pursuant to Government Code Section 65852.2.

Section 5: Severability.

If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of any competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance, and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof not declared invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of the ordinance would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.

Section 6: Effective Date.

This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after the date of its final adoption.

The City Clerk shall certify to adoption thereof and cause its publication according to law.

Re: Proposal - 2024 Wastewater Rate Study
Bartle Wells Associates is pleased to submit this proposal to assist the City of Oroville in conducting a wastewater rate study. We specialize in providing independent financial advisory and utility rate consulting services to California public agencies. We have extensive experience developing long-term financial plans and water and wastewater rate studies and have served over 600 cities and special districts throughout California.

Bartle Wells Associates has worked with many regional agencies and is very familiar with the issues that California water and wastewater agencies are facing including the drought, changes in regulations, and aging infrastructure. We have worked with clients across California to develop strategic financial plans that address the ever-increasing cost of operations and long-term capital improvements. Our recent clients include the Sewerage Commission – Oroville Region and Thermalito Water and Sewer District. Our rate studies throughout California are based on a comprehensive analysis of each agency’s customer base, consumption patterns, costs and demands to ensure rate structure recommendations reflect local needs and objectives.

Our overall goal for this project would be to work closely with the City to evaluate financial and rate alternatives and their impacts, gain ongoing input, and build consensus for final recommendations.

We are very interested in working with the City on this project. We propose to assign Michael DeGroot to work on this project. Michael will serve as principal in charge and project manager. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like any additional information.

Sincerely,

BARTLE WELLS ASSOCIATES

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 1
Section 1: Firm Overview
Bartle Wells Associates (BWA) is an independent public finance advisory firm with expertise in the areas of utility rates and project financing. BWA was established in 1964 and has over 58 years of experience advising public agencies on the complexities and challenges in public finance. We have advised over 600 agencies throughout California and the western United States. We have a diversity of abilities and experience to evaluate all types of financial issues faced by local governments and to recommend the best and most-practical solutions.

Bartle Wells Associates has a highly qualified professional team. Our educational backgrounds include finance, civil engineering, business, public administration, public policy, and economics.

BWA specializes in three professional services: utility rate and fee studies, strategic financial plans, and project financing. We are the only independent financial advisor providing all three of these interrelated services to public agencies.

RATE & FEE STUDIES Our rate studies employ a cost-of-service approach and are designed to maintain the long-term financial health of a utility enterprise while being fair to all customers. We develop practical recommendations that are easy to implement and often phase in rate adjustments over time to minimize the impact on ratepayers. We also have extensive experience developing impact fees that equitably recover the costs of infrastructure required to serve new development.

BWA has completed over 1,000 utility rate and fee studies. We have helped California communities implement a wide range of rate and fee structures and are knowledgeable about the legal requirements governing rates and impact fees including Proposition 218, Proposition 26, and Government Code 66000. We develop clear, effective presentations and have represented public agencies at hundreds of public hearings to build consensus for our recommendations.

FINANCIAL PLANS Our financial plans provide agencies with a flexible roadmap for funding long-term operating and capital needs. We evaluate the wide range of financing options available, develop a plan that recommends the best financing approach, and clearly identify the sources of revenue for funding projects and repaying any debt. We also help agencies develop prudent financial policies, such as fund reserve targets, to support sound financial management. BWA has developed over 1,000 financial plans to help public agencies fund their operating and capital programs, meet debt service requirements, and maintain long-term financial health.

To date, we have helped California agencies obtain over $5 billion of financing via bonds, bank loans/private placements, lines of credit, low-rate State Revolving Fund Loans, and other funding programs. We work only for public agencies. We are independent financial advisors and do not buy, trade, or resell bonds. BWA is a registered municipal advisory firm with the SEC and MSRB. All of our lead consultants are MSRB Registered Municipal Advisors. Our work is concentrated on providing independent advice that enables our clients to finance their projects on the most favorable terms—lowest interest rates, smallest issue size, and greatest flexibility.

COLLABORATIVE APPROACH BWA has a strong track record of building consensus and public acceptance for rate and finance recommendations. BWA uses a collaborative approach to ensure final recommendations reflect the input and objectives of the agencies we serve. Our general approach is to work closely with our clients to clarify objectives, evaluate alternatives, gain ongoing input, and remain flexible to resolve unanticipated issues. We support our clients every step of the way, from project initiation through final adoption and implementation.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH Rate and fee increases can be controversial.

BWA has assisted many agencies with community outreach efforts aimed at fostering understanding and acceptance for final recommendations. BWA has substantial experience working with governing boards and City councils, citizen advisory committees, community groups, and other stakeholders. We have found that gaining community and Board/Council input and buy-in during the process can pave the way for smoother adoption and implementation of rate increases, rate structure modifications, and increased investment for aging infrastructure.

We also help agencies develop and implement effective public outreach strategies and have worked in partnership our client’s public relations staff and independent public relations firms. We have a long track record of helping our clients successfully adopt rate increases in challenging political environments.

Bartle Wells Associates is committed to providing value and the best advice to our clients.

Our strength is quality—the quality of advice, service, and work we do for all our clients. 152

Section 4: Scope of Work

SPECIFIC PROJECT APPROACH
Bartle Wells Associates’ approach to this project is to provide a comprehensive review of the City’s wastewater finances and to develop recommendations for the wastewater rates to fund the utility’s cost of service. BWA uses a collaborative project approach to ensure final recommendations reflect the policy preferences and objectives of the agencies we serve. Our general project approach is to work closely with City staff, the City Council and/or subcommittees, and other stakeholders; identify objectives; set milestones; have frequent communication; and remain flexible to resolve unanticipated issues. We have a long track record of completing projects on time and on schedule and for providing independent, high-quality advice and work products.

BWA’s methodology for each project is based on an inclusive review of each agency’s unique financial situation. We do not have a “one-size-fits-all” rate model. We tailor each study to fit the distinct requisites of each agency to ensure that all recommendations reflect local needs and objectives.

PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
This section presents a draft work plan and scope of services that we believe forms a sound basis for completing the Wastewater Rate Study. Bartle Wells Associates will work with the project team to finalize a scope of services that meets the study objectives. Our scope of work is based on four interrelated components as shown on the figure below:
156
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 7
TASK A. PROJECT INITIATION & DATA COLLECTION

1. Project Team Orientation
To initiate our work, hold a meeting with City staff and others as appropriate, to accomplish the following:
 Identify members of City staff, Council, engineering consultants, and others who will participate in the project.
 Determine the roles and responsibilities of all project participants.  Identify other parties that may a significant interest in the project, such as community groups, business organizations, developers, and large customers.  Establish project schedule and key milestone dates.
 Confirm the key goals and expectations of the project team.

2. Investigation and Data Collection
Assemble the information necessary to understand the City’s sewer systems, finances, customers and usage, rate and fee structures, capital improvement needs and alternatives, and legal agreements.

Assistance and cooperation of City staff will be needed to assemble the relevant background information.

The objectives of investigation and data collection are to develop a complete understanding of the wastewater enterprise and its finances, and to reach an agreement on basic assumptions to be used in the study as well as key alternatives for evaluation. Investigation will include, but is not limited to, the following areas:
 Current and historical documents including current and projected budgets, financial statements, and other financial studies or internal finance projections  Capital improvement plans and engineering master plans  Current and historical rates and fees
 Historical and projected growth and demand
 Long-term infrastructure replacement needs
 Formal and informal financial policies
 Agreements with other agencies and/or organizations.
 Conditions leading up to this project
Task A Deliverables Include:
 Project kickoff meeting
 List of project goals and objectives
 Project schedule and budget
 Project team contact list
 Summary of current and historical rates and finances
 List of key assumptions and alternatives underlying the rate study 157
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 8
TASK B. WASTEWATER FINANCIAL PLAN

1. Develop Forecasts and Projections
Based on evaluation of the data assembled and input provided by the City, prepare forecasts and projections to be used in the development of financial projections for the City’s wastewater utility.

Review projections and alternatives with City staff for agreements on assumptions, interpretation of data, and completeness of approach. Analysis will include, but is not limited to, the following areas:
 Long Term Capital Repairs & Replacements: Identify future capital improvement program costs or alternatives to include in the financial analysis and determine a reasonable amount to include for future, ongoing capital repairs and replacements. BWA often recommends that agencies phase in funding for long-term system rehabilitation.
 Sewer Demand, Supply, & Cost: With City input, forecast wastewater demand, future conservation projections, and costs. Identify potential water reduction scenarios for evaluation.  Cost Escalation Factors: Review historical cost trends and work with project team to develop reasonable cost escalation factors for both operating and capital expenditures. Work with City staff to identify any anticipated changes in future staffing, benefits, and/or other operating costs.

2. Evaluate Financing Alternatives for Capital Improvements If warranted, evaluate options for financing capital improvement projects. Our evaluation will:
 Estimate the amount and timing of any debt, if needed, to finance capital projects.  Evaluate the alternative borrowing methods available including bonds, COPs, state and federal loan programs, bank loans and lines of credit, and other options.  Recommend the appropriate type of debt, its term and structure.  Develop debt service estimates to incorporate in the financial projections.

3. Review Minimum Fund Reserve Targets
Evaluate the adequacy of the City’s current utility fund reserves. If needed, establish prudent minimum fund reserve targets based on the City’s operating and capital funding projections. Develop an implementation plan for achieving and maintaining the recommended reserve fund levels.

4. Develop 10-Year Financial Projections
Develop cash flow projections showing the financial position of the wastewater enterprise over the next 10 years. The cash flows will project fund balances, revenues, expenses, and debt service coverage, and will incorporate the forecasts developed with staff input. After developing a base-case cash flow scenario, we can develop alternatives for additional evaluation such as capital improvement alternatives, project financing alternatives, the impacts of various levels of wastewater demand, etc.

During this phase, BWA will work closely with the project team to evaluate financial and rate projections under alternative scenarios and assumptions.
158
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 9

5. Evaluate Rate Increase Options
Based on the cash flow projections, determine the annual revenue requirements and project the overall level of required wastewater rate increases. Evaluate rate adjustment alternatives, such as gradually phasing in required rate increases over a number of years. If appropriate, evaluate different levels of rate increases and their impacts on the City’s ability to fund future operating and capital needs.

6. Develop Financial & Rate Models
Develop user-friendly wastewater financial and rate models designed to be used by City staff to update projections, change assumptions, and evaluate financial scenarios and their impacts on future utility rates. The models will detail key assumptions and can be used to evaluate alternatives and “what if” scenarios. BWA has developed numerous rate and financial models for utility enterprises. We have found that keeping a model as straightforward as possible, without unnecessary complexity, can increase the model’s usability and improve effectiveness as an in-house planning tool.

Task B Deliverables Include:
 Summary of long-term capital improvement plan & key alternatives if appropriate  Evaluation of financing alternatives for capital improvements  Recommendations for minimum fund reserve targets
 10-year cash flow projections with supporting tables
 User-friendly wastewater financial and rate models designed to enable staff to update projections and evaluate alternative financial scenarios  Evaluation of rate increase options
 Meet with the City’s project team to present findings, discuss alternatives, gain feedback, and develop preliminary recommendations
159
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 10
TASK C. WASTEWATER RATE STUDIES

1. Identify & Evaluate Rate Structure Modifications & Alternatives Review the City’s current wastewater rate structures and discuss advantages and disadvantages compared to other rate approaches. Discuss pros and cons of different rate structure options and their general impacts on different types of customers. Rate structure options will be refined as the study progresses based on input from the City’s project team.

2. Conduct Survey of Regional Wastewater Rates
Review and summarize sewer rates of other regional and/or comparable agencies. Summarize results in easily understandable tables and/or charts. Confer with staff on agencies to include in the survey.

3. Allocate Costs to Billing Parameters
Allocate costs identified in the wastewater financial plans to appropriate fixed and variable rate components. Sewer rates will be based on cost allocations to wastewater flow, BOD, and SS to develop underlying unit charges that will then be applied to the wastewater discharge characteristics of different customer classes. Rates will be designed to be equitable to all customers and comply with the substantive requirements of Proposition 218.

4. Develop Preliminary & Final Rate Recommendations with City Input Based on evaluation of rate structure alternatives and the financial plan update, develop draft rate alternatives for input. The recommendations may include a multi-year phase in of both overall rate increases and proposed rate structure adjustments in order to help mitigate the annual impact on ratepayers. Review preliminary recommendations and key alternatives with the project team and City Council. Revise recommendations based on input received. Develop a plan for implementing rate increases and rate structure modifications.

Final rate recommendations will be designed to:
a) fund the wastewater utility’s long-term costs of providing service, including operating, capital, and deferred maintenance needs
b) be fair and equitable to all customers,
d) provide a prudent balance of revenue stability and conservation incentive, e) be easy to understand and administer, and
f) comply with the substantive requirements of Proposition 218. g) adhere to industry standards, including the American Water Works Association, and recent legislation

5. Evaluate Rate Impacts on a Range of City Customers
Calculate the impacts of each rate alternative on a range of City customers (e.g. different customer classes, customers with different levels of water use, etc.). Work with the City’s project team to identify customer and usage profiles to use for calculating the rate impacts. Discuss additional rate structure adjustments that may reduce the impact on certain customers if warranted. 160
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 11
TASK D. RATE IMPLEMENTATION
(MEETINGS/PRESENTATIONS, REPORTS, PROP 218 COMPLIANCE)
Our proposal includes project team meetings as needed, two City Council meetings, and the public hearing.

1. Project Team Meetings (as needed)
Meet with the City’s project team virtually as needed to gather information and present findings, discuss alternatives and their impacts, gain ongoing input, and develop and hone recommendations.

2. City Council Presentations & Proposition 218 Hearing (2 Council Meetings & 1 rate hearing) Develop wastewater rate presentation materials for the City Council and public. Participate in an initial Council meeting to present findings, preliminary recommendations, and key alternatives, and to obtain Council and public input. Incorporate input and hone recommendations as warranted to ensure final recommendations reflect Council preferences. Present revised, final recommendations at a subsequent Council Meeting to gain approval to move forward with the Proposition 218 process.

Attend the Proposition 218 Public Hearing Meeting and present a summary of findings and recommendations. Remain available to respond to Council and public comments. BWA has extensive experience presenting financial and rate recommendations to non-technical audiences, dealing with challenging questions, and building acceptance for final recommendations.

3. Prepare Draft & Final Reports
Develop an administrative draft report summarizing key background issues, study objectives, findings, assumptions, draft recommendations and alternatives, impacts on ratepayers, and the rate and fee surveys. The report will include: a) brief descriptions of the wastewater utility system, service areas, and population, b) overview of historical financial operations, c) discussion of the current wastewater utility rates, d) a description of wastewater capital improvement programs, including potential impacts of State and Federal regulatory requirements, e) presentation of 10-year financial projections and key assumptions, f) explanation of cost allocation and derivation of recommended wastewater rates, g) impacts of proposed rates on a range of customer types and usage profiles, and h) results from the wastewater rate and fee surveys.

Task C Deliverables Include:
 Evaluation of potential rate modifications
 Wastewater rate survey
 Analysis of historical utility billing data
 Cost allocations supporting sewer rate components
 Development of draft rate alternatives for City evaluation and input  Meet with the City’s project team to present findings, discuss alternatives, gain input, and develop preliminary and final rate recommendations 161
Item 8.

City of Oroville – 2024 Wastewater Rate Study Page 12
The report will be written for a non-technical audience and will clearly explain the rationale for recommendations and key alternatives when applicable. Submit a preliminary draft report for City review and feedback. Incorporate input into an administrative draft report for distribution to the City Council. Incorporate any revisions into a final report and provide the City with printed and electronic copies.

4. Proposition 218 Rate Notice
Proposition 218 establishes requirements for adopting or increasing property-related fees and charges.

In July 2006, the California Supreme Court ruled that wastewater rates are subject to Prop. 218 (Articles XIIIC and XIIID of the state constitution). Prop. 218 requires that the City: 1) mail notification of proposed rate increases and the date, time, and place of public hearing to all affected property owners (and potentially ratepayers who are renters that pay wastewater bills), 2) hold a public hearing not less than 45 days after the notices are mailed, and 3) subject the rate increases to majority protest; if more than 50% of property owners submit written protests, the proposed rate increases cannot be adopted.

Wastewater rates are exempt from the voting requirements of Prop. 218 provided rates do not exceed the cost of providing service and meet the substantive rate requirements of Proposition 218.

Develop a draft Proposition 218 notice for City review. Incorporate revisions and develop a final notice.

BWA recommends the notice go beyond the minimum legal requirements and provide clear and concise explanation of the reasons for any rate adjustments. BWA has helped many agencies adopt rates via the Proposition 218 process. We have found that ratepayers are generally much more accepting of rate increases or rate structure modification when they understand the reasons underlying the adjustments.

5. Public Education and Consensus-Building
Rate and fee adjustments are often controversial. BWA has extensive experience developing clear presentations that facilitate public understanding of the need for rate increases. We understand the importance of building consensus and public acceptance for our recommendations and can assist the City in any outreach and public education efforts.

Task D Deliverables Include:
 Project team meetings as needed to discuss findings, alternatives, recommendations and obtain input
 3 Council meetings to a) present findings and preliminary recommendations and receive input, b) present revised recommendations for additional input, and c) present a summary at the Prop. 218 Public Hearing
 PowerPoint presentations summarizing key findings, alternatives, and recommendations
 Draft and final reports summarizing background information, key findings, alternatives, and recommendations
 Draft of required Proposition 218 Notice of proposed rate increases 162

Reasons for Wastewater Rate Increase
• Projected future inflation in operating costs.
• The City is projected to incur ~$13.6 million for wastewater enterprise collection system capital improvement projects over the next 5 years. • Pass through for treatment costs (SCOR treatment plant upgrade project). 7 185
Item 8.

Equivalent Dwelling Unit Changes
• SCOR adopted new EDU definitions for multi-family and mobile home units. • Multi-family is equal to 0.88 EDUs per unit and mobile home units are equivalent to 0.85 EDUs. (Previously 1 EDU).
• The change is based on regional census data which shows less people per unit on average for multi-family and mobile home units.
• The change results in a difference of 310 EDUs for the City of Oroville (3.3%). • BWA projects 3% growth in the next 3 years and 2% in the following 2 years. 8 186

<INSERT ADDRESS 2>
Why Am I Receiving This Notice?
You are receiving this notice in accordance with Proposition 218, a state law which requires providers of public utility services (including wastewater service) to notify rate payers of increases in proposed rates.

The property listed above receives wastewater service from the City of Oroville (“the City”).

This notice is intended to provide you with information on the service provided by the City, the reasons for the proposed rates, and the methods by which you can protest the proposed rates if you desire.

What Service Do Rates Fund?
The City provides wastewater service to approximately 9,140 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) in the City service area.

Why is a Rate Increase Needed?
Current rates do not reflect the full cost necessary to provide wastewater services. The proposed rates are designed to sustainably operate and maintain the wastewater utility.  Projected future inflation in operating costs.
 City is projected to incur about $13.6 million for wastewater enterprise collection system capital improvement projects over the next 5 years.
 Pass through for wastewater treatment costs for the regional wastewater treatment plant, including operations and maintenance and a wastewater treatment plant upgrade project. [Address]
194
Item 8.

Basis of Proposed Rates
Article XIIID of the California Constitution (also known as Proposition 218) requires that providers of public utility services levy service charges that are clearly linked to the cost of providing the service to each parcel.

The cost of service calculation includes expenses such as labor, energy, chemicals and other supplies, and the cost of providing required maintenance of the system. The rates proposed herein are designed to meet all legal requirements and fairly and equitably recover the required revenue from all customers. The rates were developed by an independent consultant retained by the City.

Wastewater Rate Background
Wastewater customers are charged a fixed monthly rate per equivalent dwelling unit. The City provides wastewater collection, while Sewerage Commission – Oroville Region (“SCOR”) provides wastewater treatment.

Wastewater Treatment Charge Passthrough
The City collects and passes on treatment charges to SCOR. If SCOR adopts higher treatment charges, at least 30 days before the effective date of the adjustment, the City will provide its customers with notice of the new charge. There is no requirement to hold a public hearing or any additional action by the Council.

Current and Proposed Wastewater Rates
Community Input, Written Protest Procedures & Statute of Limitations Members of the public are invited to attend the Public Hearing and provide input on the proposed rates.

Property owners and customers may also submit written protests against the proposed rates. Written protests must: a) identify the affected property or properties, such as by address, Assessor’s Parcel Number, or customer account number, b) include the name and original signature of the customer or property owner submitting the protest and c) indicate opposition to the proposed wastewater rate increases. Written protests should be mailed or delivered to: Attn: City Clerk, 735 Montgomery Street Oroville, CA 95965.

Pursuant to California law, one written protest will be counted per parcel. Protests submitted by e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means are not counted. The proposed rates cannot be adopted if written protests are received from a majority of affected parcels. Written protests must be submitted prior to the close of each Public Hearing. Additionally, pursuant to California Government Code 53759, there will be a 120 day statute of limitations for challenging any new, increased, or extended fees, including wastewater service charges. 195

RE: Proposal for Active Transportation Program (ATP) – Cycle 7 Grant Writing Assistance
Dear Mr. Mayo:

The City of Oroville (City) has developed an infrastructure concept to transform Washington Avenue/Table Mountain Boulevard into a complete street. This backbone facility will include Class II bike lanes and sidewalk gap closures to provide multimodal accessibility for residents. The project has two distinct segments:
• Segment 1: Washington Avenue from Oro Dam Boulevard to the Table Mountain Boulevard roundabout, approximately 0.7 miles in length. • Segment 2: Table Mountain Boulevard from Feather River Bridge to County Center Drive, approximately 1.25 miles in length.

The City is interested in pursuing Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 7 to implement the improvements and leverage Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program funding from Butte County Association of Governments (BCAG). Mark Thomas met with the City to discuss the project. As discussed, we recommend the City submit multiple applications for the project to increase the chances of receiving funding.

A similar approach was developed by Mark Thomas staff based on direct dialogue with Commission staff in 2022 when we prepared multiple County of Orange grant applications for various OC Loop segments. This resulted in securing over $50 million in ATP funding for three trail segments.

Mark Thomas has prepared our scope and fee to lead community engagement activities and prepare up to three (3) ATP Cycle 7 grant applications. The scope of work is based upon the grant funding program guidelines and requirements. Project final design, 196

environmental clearance, right of way and utility services, and surveying and mapping services are excluded from this scope.

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 – Project Management
Task 1.1 – Project Management
Mark Thomas will communicate directly with City and manage the internal project team to deliver the services described below. The project status will be reviewed regularly to meet key milestones.

Mark Thomas will facilitate twice monthly meetings with the City. The first meeting will serve as a project kick-off to discuss the project goals, background, milestones, and anticipated grant pursuits. Subsequent meetings will focus on project progress, schedule, and reviews.

Deliverables
• Meeting Agendas and Notes
Task 2 – Segments 1 & 2 Application Development
Task 2.1 – Grant Narrative
Segments 1 & 2 application is anticipated to be a Large application (per the grant guidelines). The ATP application consists of three parts. Part A: General Application with questions relating to the administering agency, project scope and details, right of way impacts, delivery schedule, and project costs. Part B: Narrative Questions consists of seven questions involving responses about disadvantaged communities, potential to increase walking and biking, collisions and enhancing safety, public participation and planning, context sensitive and innovative design, leverage funds, scope and plan consistency, and conservation corps coordination and involvement. Part C: Application Attachments includes signature page, engineer’s checklist, project location map, project plans, site photos, project estimate, letters of support, and additional attachments.

Mark Thomas will prepare the draft and final versions of the three parts of the application. We will confirm leverage funding amounts and schedule with the City. Mark Thomas will prepare draft narrative responses for Part B in a Microsoft Word file for a 197

streamlined review process and the ability to track changes. We will leverage prior and new community engagement activities and planning studies to the maximum extent possible for the narrative responses.

Mark Thomas will provide analysis of existing data to support the grant narratives. We will use the University of California Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping Systems (TIMS) ATP Maps and Summary Data module to create collision heat maps and collision summary lists. Mark Thomas will use the CalEnviroScreen (CES), low-income data, and California Healthy Places Index (HPI) to demonstrate benefits to disadvantaged communities. Since there are multiple potential criteria, we will use the most advantageous disadvantaged communities definition to maximize application scoring.

Additionally, Mark Thomas will coordinate with the two conservation corps organizations to confirm their potential involvement during the construction phase. This will be documented and included in the application as required by the state.

Task 2.2 – Letters of Support
Mark Thomas will draft a letter of support template for all three applications and list of potential stakeholders. Upon City approval, we will coordinate with the identified stakeholders and collect support letters.

Task 2.3 – Exhibits and Graphics
Mark Thomas will develop graphics and exhibits to support the grant application. This includes disadvantaged communities map, gap closure and connections/new routes/barrier removal map, project area collision map, and up to two (2) other graphics/exhibits identified during the development of the application.

Deliverables
• Draft and final narrative responses
• Stakeholder support letters tracking sheet
• Draft letter of support template for three (3) applications • Draft and final exhibits

Task 5.2 – Cost Estimate
Utilizing the concept design prepared by Mark Thomas, we will prepare preliminary cost estimates for Segments 1 & 2, Segment 1, and Segment 2 using the ATP cost estimate template. The cost estimates will include support costs for environmental clearance, final design, right of way, and construction and capital costs for right of way and construction, accounting for limitations on maximum costs for various construction phases such as construction support.

Deliverables
• Draft and final concept design for 3 project applications • Draft and final cost estimate in ATP format for 3 project applications Task 6 – Community Engagement
Task 6.1 – Community Pop-Up Events
We will work with City staff to identify community festivals or other large events within nearby communities to attend, promote the project, and solicit input. Given the timing of the grant deadline, we suggest consideration of hosting a pop-up event at a community park, participating religious institutions, Butte County facilities, or ballfields. This will allow us to meet people where they are.

We will host an interactive “booth” at these events with staff to engage the community, answer questions, and encourage participation. Experience has found that these kinds of events engage a greater variety of audiences, and we plan on hosting up to two (2) pop-up/tabling events.

Task 6.2 – Community Workshop
We will plan, organize, and facilitate one (1) virtual workshop as a method to promote the project, share information with the community, and solicit input on key concerns or issues. We will ensure there is a mechanism to engage the participants through prompted questions and facilitated question and answer period. The meeting could take place on a weekday evening or during the daytime on a weekend. We will work with City staff to identify the most effective times for the workshop. We anticipate City staff will participate in the workshop, with Mark Thomas leading the event and facilitating.

Task 6.3 – Project Survey
We will develop an online project survey to solicit input from the community at large.

The survey will align with other engagement activities and will provide an opportunity for 201

people to identify their key issues and concerns. The survey will provide a chance for us to ask for input and prioritization support aligned with key questions on the grant such as trip purpose, traffic safety concerns, and goals for desired outcomes. We have facilitated surveys for other ATP grant applications and can leverage this experience to customize the questions for use on the proposed project.

Task 6.4 – Language Translation
We will ensure the public engagement materials and activities will include both English and Spanish language translation. Mark Thomas staff will provide the translation to Spanish using our in-house staff dedicated to this project. Additionally, our Spanish fluent staff can facilitate simultaneous translation during the pop-up events and virtual workshop.

Deliverables
• Community Pop-Up Events (Assume 2 events with 2 staff in attendance) • Workshop with Digital Promotion (Assume video-conference based workshop, flyer, and social media content)
• Project Survey (Assume Microsoft Forms, Mentimeter, or similar software tool) • Language Translation (assume Spanish translation of printed materials, and bilingual staff at pop-up events and virtual workshop)
• Engagement Summary Memorandum
