INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.2
DATE: December 5, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Javier Chagoyen-Lazaro, Chief Financial Officer, (805) 385-5400, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Update on the Financial Corrective Action Plan (FCAP) For Closing Past Audit Findings.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive an update on the Financial Corrective Action Plan (FCAP) for closing past audit findings.
(The Finance and Governance Committee approved 3-0 on November 14, 2023 to approve the staff recommendation to forward the item for Council approval.)
BACKGROUND
The City’s annual audit for FY 2014-15 produced 111 single-audit findings. These findings primarily concerned the City's policies and procedures (or lack thereof) for accounting and financial management. Between fiscal year 2016 through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the City’s annual audits continued to identify new findings in the double digits. For FY 2019-20, there was one additional audit finding, for Information Technology General Controls, which was communicated to City Council via a separate confidential written report due to its sensitive nature. For FY 2020-21, there was one new finding for accounting and financial management, but only two earlier audit findings remain unresolved, and there were no material weaknesses. For FY 2021-22, there were no new findings for accounting and financial management; only two prior findings remain unresolved. FY 2021-22 is the third year in a row where the City had no material weaknesses. Below is a table summarizing the audit finding history.

FY 2019-20 1 0 184
FY 2020-21 1 1 186
19 FY 2021-22 0 0 186
In order to correct the various accounting and financial management audit findings, the City was required to produce a Corrective Action Plan, or CAP. This plan, updated annually, addresses all unresolved findings, and the steps and timeline to correct them. Staff created a detailed audit scorecard, and began presenting it to the Finance & Governance Committee, and to City Council, every six months.
DISCUSSION
During our FY 21-22 Single Audit, Eadie + Payne determined that the City sufficiently completed the corrective action plan for the findings identified in the FY 20-21 audit related to the CDBG HUD findings. Only two findings remain outstanding; the findings related to (1) the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan Update and (2) the Information Technology General Controls.
We have continued to make progress on the corrective actions for both findings. For the Indirect Cost Allocation Plan finding, the City has developed a central cost allocation plan that includes a cost allocation method for indirect costs. The new central cost allocation plan was completed after the FY 23-24 budget cycle; the City plans to implement the cost allocation plan with the FY 24-25 budget. The City Council will continue to receive updates on the IT General Controls findings through separate confidential reports.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Organizational Effectiveness strategy. The purpose of the Organizational Effectiveness strategy is to reinforce, stabilize, improve, and strengthen the organizational foundation of the City in order to build a modern, high-functioning City government that effectively and efficiently supports the operating departments in providing high-quality services and programs for our residents and businesses.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.

AGENDA ITEM NO. L.3
DATE: December 5, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Grant Application Resolution for CalRecycle Grant Programs. (10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to submit a grant application resolution to the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) (no local match) in SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program funds
2. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute grant agreements;
3. Authorizing the Finance Director or designee to submit financial reports and grant claims and approve budget appropriations for the use of grant funds; and
4. Authorizing the Public Works Director or designee to submit non-financial reports. (This item did not originate in Committee.)
BACKGROUND
State of California Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) also known as the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) law, was signed on September 9, 2016. SB 1383 requires jurisdictions to increase the diversion of organic waste from landfills and meet the statewide target to divert organic landfill disposal by 75% in 2025. The law took effect on January 1, 2022, and required compliance with a majority of its provisions by that date. The City and many other local jurisdictions have struggled to comply with SB 1383’s deadlines due to the lack of existing local infrastructure to process organic waste, disruption of supply chains by the Covid-19 pandemic, staffing shortages, and a lack of funding from the State for this unfunded mandate.
To provide jurisdictions with relief from penalties for not complying with SB 1383 requirements by January 1, 2022, the State of California passed Senate Bill 619 (SB 619) on October 5, 2021. SB 619 allowed the City to submit a Notice of Intent to Comply (NOIC), proposing a timeline for execution of the provisions required by SB 1383 to avoid civil penalties from the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) for non-compliance. The City Council passed Resolution No. 15,542 in order for staff to submit the NOIC to CalRecycle. The NOIC was submitted to CalRecycle on March 1, 2022.
In November 2022, CalRecycle issued a draft Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to the City outlining 30 tasks in order for the City to come into compliance with SB 1383. The City of Oxnard is one of 126 California jurisdictions that have been issued a CAP. Environmental Resources (ER) staff and CalRecycle staff worked to finalize the CAP’s tasks and target completion dates and concurred to a proposed agreement on February 7, 2023. On March 6, 2023, CalRecycle issued the final CAP to the City. All tasks must be completed no later than March 1, 2024. Currently, ER staff has confirmed the completion of 12 tasks. The remaining 18 tasks need to be completed by March 1, 2024.
To provide jurisdiction assistance in complying with SB 1383’s requirements, CalRecycle is administering a non- 21 competitive grant program. Grant funds can be used to pay for: capacity planning, collection, edible food recovery, education and outreach, enforcement and inspection, program evaluation/gap analysis, procurement requirements, record keeping or any other item that will help a jurisdiction with the implementation of SB 1383. CalRecycle has allocated $90,000,000 for the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program and the base award will be set at $75,000. The remaining funds will then be distributed to eligible jurisdictions based on per capita calculations using the Department of Finance’s January 2023 population statistics. CalRecycle estimates the City of Oxnard’s total eligible grant amount to be $341,702.
DISCUSSION
As allowed by Resolution No. 15,748 (Attached), ER staff submitted an application for this grant, by the initial grant application due date of November 15, 2023. However, the program requires a Council-approved grant resolution specifically for CalRecycle grant programs, by December 20, 2023, to finalize the application (Attachment 1). If the City Council approves the proposed resolution, ER staff will submit the approved grant resolution to CalRecycle by the secondary due date of December 20, 2023. This grant resolution will be effective for a term of 5 years from the date of adoption and will allow the City to apply for the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program.
ER will use the SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program funds to purchase:
1. Bins and carts for recyclable materials and organic waste;
2. Educational and outreach materials for residential and commercial waste generators;
3. Compliance tracking software for recordkeeping and enforcement;
4. Recovered organic waste products to meet the City’s procurement target;
5. Any other qualifying material or service which will assist the City in complying with SB 1383.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If awarded, CalRecycle Grants Program funds will be recognized and appropriated to the State & Local Grant Fund (210). There is no local match required for this grant.

DATE: December 5, 2023
TO: The City Council
FROM: Alexander Hamilton, Fire Chief, (805) 385-7700, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Authorize Blanket Purchase Order for Stryker Sales, LLC in a Not to Exceed (NTE) Amount of $400,000 through June 30, 2024
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute Blanket Purchase Orders (BPO) with Stryker Sales, LLC for a total amount NTE $400,000 for the purchase of grant-funded automatic chest compression systems and other routine operational expenses.
(The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on November 14, 2023 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.)
BACKGROUND
A blanket purchase order (BPO) is an agreement established with a vendor to fill repetitive needs for goods. BPOs make it easier for the vendor and departments to fill recurring needs, while using the City's full buying power by taking advantage of quantity discounts, saving administrative time, and reducing paperwork. BPOs are established as purchase orders with a maximum order amount or not to exceed (NTE) amount, rather than for a specific amount. BPOs with an annual NTE amount greater than $200,000 require the Mayor or most senior Council Member’s approval and signature.
DISCUSSION
On December 7, 2022, the City Council authorized the Fire Department to be a subrecipient of a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant submitted by Ventura County Fire Protection District. The District was regionally awarded thirty five (35) Automatic Chest Compression Devices (ACCD’s) with eight (8) units awarded to the City of Oxnard at $18,165.00 unit cost for a total cost of $145,320. In addition to this one-time purchase, the Department estimates spending roughly $30,000 on routine purchases of durable and disposable medical supplies for everyday emergency medical services and $17,000 for a service plan to maintain the existing chest compression systems. The balance of the contract will be utilized as funding is identified for other grant funded items or for unanticipated needs that may arise during the year.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Department’s Fiscal Year 2023-24 Budget includes appropriations in the amount of $47,000 (General Fund 101) and $145,320 (Federal Grant Fund 200) for purchases under this BPO. Additional purchases against the BPO will be made only if additional funding is identified through budgetary savings, approved increases in appropriations or new grant funding. The Department will return to Council to request additional appropriations should that be necessary. 27 For Finance Use Only: General Fund (Org. 1012501 Obj. 52400); Federal Grant Fund (Org. 2001001 Obj. 59800 Project C2412); Capital Outlay Fund (Org. 3012501 Obj. 56040, Project C2412)

TO: The City Council
FROM: Alexander Hamilton, Fire Chief, (805) 385-7700, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Agreement Between the City of Oxnard (Fire Department) and Oxnard Union High School District
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement between the City of Oxnard (Fire Department) and Oxnard Union High School District for an after-school program to introduce high school students to fire service.
(The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on November 14, 2023 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.)
BACKGROUND
In May 2022, the Oxnard Fire Department released a 5-year strategic plan. One of the six identified goals is related to recruitment and investing in strategies aimed at hiring more women and Oxnard community members as Firefighters. To accomplish this goal, the Fire Department seeks to foster partnerships with existing community organizations and develop partnerships with local high schools. The desired outcome is a fire department that reflects and represents the diverse Oxnard community it serves.
DISCUSSION
This partnership adds to the myriad of programs that the Oxnard Union High School District offers their students. Historically, these programs have been known as "after-school" programs. However, the program we have developed involves five weekends of instruction, providing students with 60 hours of training and five high school credits towards graduation.
The program will target juniors and seniors and will be modeled after our successful Fire Explorer Post curriculum. The program will include a field trip to the Oxnard College Fire Technology Campus to encourage students to continue their fire service education.
Students who excel in the program will be invited to become Oxnard Fire Department Explorers. This will allow them to participate in ride-alongs and respond to emergency calls for service. There are also explorer drill days and the statewide Fire Explorer Muster competition.
The Oxnard Fire Department is planning to launch the first cohort in January 2024.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community. 35 FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost to the Fire Department for the training hours over the five weekends is estimated at $20,000 in overtime. There is sufficient funding available in the FY2023-24 adopted Fire Department's overtime budget in the General Fund.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.7
DATE: December 5, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32400255 with J.R. Filanc Construction Company, Inc for Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement at the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant (OWTP), Specification No. PW 23-112.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize:
1. A total of $948,477 in project funds for Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement at the OWTP, Specification No. PW 23-112;
2. The Mayor to Execute an Agreement with J.R. Filanc Construction Company, Inc (Filanc) in the amount of $790,397 for the Project;
3. A Project contingency amount of $79,040 (10%) with Filanc for a total not to exceed value of $869,437 for the Project;
4. A Project allocation amount of $79,040 (10%) for engineering, inspection, survey and project management for the Project; and
5. Budget appropriations of $948,477 from the available fund balance in the Wastewater Operating Fund (611) and the corresponding appropriation and revenue transfer in the Wastewater Capital Fund (612) for use of this Project.
(This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)
BACKGROUND
The Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant (OTWP) contains 18 Secondary Sedimentation Tanks (SST). Constructed in 1988 and identified in the 2016 Public Works Integrated Master Plan, the mechanical equipment for the SSTs has reached the end of its useful life. Due to redundancy in the system and the large amount of construction at the OWTP, the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement at the OWTP (“Project”) takes a phased approach.
Subsequent projects will occur on an annual basis, allowing continued operation and avoiding failure of equipment across all of the SSTs over a short period of time.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:
Project No. C2402– Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement at the OWTP, PW 23-112 - CIP 2022-2027 - Council approved May 2, 2023 – mid-cycle CIP update.
DISCUSSION
The specific work for this Project includes furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment and other incidental and appurtenant Work to rehabilitate two of the eighteen SSTs. 157
The work is tentatively scheduled to begin in January 2024 and continue into June 2024 (100 working days), absent any delays for supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions or inclement weather. Engineering staff will work closely with the OWTP staff to keep them informed of the schedule.
The notice inviting formal bids (NIFB) on the Project was published on September 7, 2023, and all bids were due and opened on October 10, 2023. The City received four bids. Two of the bids were rejected as non-responsive to the call for bids. The responsive bids received are as follows:
J.R. FILANC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC.: $790,397
KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO. $1,137.000
The lowest bidder is Filanc, and its bid is responsive to the City’s NIFB. Following this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation received from Filanc and its subcontractors. Procurement staff verified possession of required currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily completing the project. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this Project to Filanc.
In addition to the project award amount of $790,397, staff recommends authorizing $158,080 for the project, which includes $79,040 for project contingency (10% of the contract costs) and $79,040 for the cost of engineering services and City staff (10% of the contract cost). Engineering services include the following activities during construction: engineering, inspection, survey and project management. These recommendations bring the total estimated cost of the project to $948,477.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this Project shall not exceed $948,477 which includes the construction agreement, contingency and project allocation. The Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement at the OWTP Project (No.
C2402) was approved by Council on May 2, 2023 during a midyear CIP update report. Staff is requesting to appropriate $948,477 from the available fund balance in the Wastewater Operating Fund (611) [and the corresponding appropriation and transfer into the Wastewater Capital Fund (612)] to fund this project.
For Finance Use Only: Wastewater Operating Fund (Org. 6111001 Obj. 59800) Wastewater Capital Fund (Org. 6123610 Obj. 49300 & 56050)
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.

SUBJECT: Acquisition of Real Property located at 131 East Seventh Street and Disposition of Real Property located at 418 West Fourth Street in Downtown Oxnard. (10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Find that the recommended actions do not constitute a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 21065 of CEQA and Sections 15004(b)(4) and 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines and, as such, no environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required;

BACKGROUND
The Oxnard City Council declared certain real property located at 418 West Fourth Street in downtown Oxnard, formerly known as the Gull Wings Children’s Museum, as surplus in February of 2022. Staff subsequently undertook and completed the process required by the Surplus Land Act to make this property available to the public and affordable housing preferred buyers but the staff did not receive any offers or expressions of interest from any potential buyers. As such, the California State Department of Housing and Community Development has authorized its disposition on the open market.
Staff has received an offer to acquire the Gull Wings Children’s Museum property from Sonflow, LLC, a California limited liability company, who intends to rehabilitate the current structure and operate a senior wellness center. Staff has procured an appraisal for the property, which defined the current market value at $400,000.
Sonflow, LLC, also owns unimproved real property located at 131 East Seventh Street in downtown Oxnard. This subject 173
property is approximately 0.2 acres. The Oxnard City Council authorized staff to negotiate the acquisition of this property at not more than the appraised market value for the purpose of developing affordable housing. Staff procured an appraisal for the property, which defined the current market value $430,000.
DISCUSSION
Staff proposes an exchange of real property by and between the City of Oxnard and Sonflow, LLC plus an additional amount of $30,000 payable from the City of Oxnard to Sonflow, LLC. Staff proposes the use of the Affordable Housing In Lieu Fund to pay for the difference in value. Additionally, staff proposes the use of the Affordable Housing In Lieu Fund to pay for the transaction costs and the expenses of maintenance post-acquisition (an additional $75,000 from the Affordable Housing In Lieu Fund).
On November 2, 2023, the Oxnard Planning Commission determined that both the disposition of the property located at 418 West Fourth Street and the acquisition of the real property located at 131 East Seventh Street are consistent with the City's General Plan.
Upon the acquisition of Sonflow’s property on Seventh Street, staff proposes to assemble it with the two adjacent unimproved properties currently owned by the City of Oxnard fronting Seventh Street, as well as a City of Onxard owned a surface parking lot fronting Oxnard Blvd (across the alley from the Seventh Street parcels). Staff proposes to issue a request for proposals seeking a development partner to acquire, develop and operate an affordable housing complex atop of active retail on the ground along Oxnard Boulevard and a ground floor neighborhood service along Seventh Street.
Separately, upon Sonflow’s acquisition of the Gull Wings Children’s Museum property, the buyer proposes to rehabilitate the current building and operate a senior wellness center. The rehabilitation of the property will be subject to the applicable City’s development review process.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed actions to appropriate funding and approve the acquisition and disposition of property do not constitute approval of any particular project. These recommended actions do not grant any vested development entitlements, do not bind any party or commit to any definite course of action, do not restrict the City from considering any feasible mitigation measures and alternatives, and do not restrict the City from denying a future project on either of the involved sites, and, therefore, do not constitute a project subject to the CEQA pursuant to Section 21065 of CEQA and Sections 15004(b)(4) and 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. As such, no environmental document pursuant to CEQA is required. The undertaking of, disbursement of funding for, and/or approval of any physical improvements is fully contingent on compliance with CEQA. Furthermore, any future project at 131 East Seventh Street would require an agreement with a yet-to-be identified development partner and would likely require approval of discretionary land use entitlements. It is anticipated that CEQA review will occur concurrent with such agreement or the processing of entitlement applications and must be completed prior to granting of any such entitlements.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The two proposed transactions will not impact the General Fund. A total budget appropriation of $105,000 is requested from the Housing In Lieu Fees Fund (Fund 360-Subfund7050) available fund balance to pay for the expenses of this transaction and maintenance of the site. The broker fees will be paid by the seller as a transaction cost. The Housing In Lieu Fund has an available balance of $3,037,609.

24.1 The Par Ɵes and Brokers agree that their relaƟonship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable secƟons of the California Civil Code , as summarized in paragraph 24.2.
24.2 When entering into a discussion with ar e a le s t a t e a g e nt regarding ar e a le s t a t e t r a n s a cƟon, aB u y er or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relaƟonship or representaƟon it has with the agent or agents in the transac Ɵon. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transacƟon, as follows:
(a) Seller's Agent. A Seller's agent under a lis Ɵng agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or subagent has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's du Ɵes. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclos e all facts known to the agent materially affecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any con fidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the a ffirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(b) Buyer's Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situa Ɵons, the agent is not the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensaƟon for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. A n agent acƟng only for aB u y er has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons. (1) To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer . (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duƟes. b. A duty of hones t and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty t o 183
disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecƟng the value or desirability of the property tha t are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any con fidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(c) Agent RepresenƟng Both Seller and Buyer . A real estate agent, either ac Ɵng directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in at r a n s a cƟon, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer . (1) In a dual agency situaƟon, the agent has the following a ffirmaƟve obligaƟons to both the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duƟes to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respecƟve secƟons (a) or (b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) I n represenƟng both Seller and Buyer, the agent may not, without the express permission of the respec Ɵve Party, disclose to the other Party confidenƟal informaƟon, including, but not limited to, facts relaƟng to either Buyer's or Seller's financial posiƟon, moƟvaƟons, bargaining posiƟon, or other personal informaƟon that may impact price, including Seller's willingness to accept a price less than the lis Ɵng price or Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price o ffered. (3) The above du Ɵes of the agent in ar e a l e s t a t et r a n s a cƟon do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility t o protect their own interests. Buye r and Seller should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transac Ɵon. A real estate agent is a person quali fied to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult ac o m p e t e nt professional. Buye r has the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect Buyer, including as to those facts about the Property which are known to Buyer or within Buyer's diligent a ƩenƟon and observaƟon. Both Seller and Buyer should strongl y consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transacƟon can be complex and subject to change. (d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transac Ɵon Buyer and Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisƟng in the transacƟon. Buye r and Seller should each read its contents each Ɵme it is presented, considering the relaƟonship between them and the real estate agent in this transacƟon and that disclosure. Buyer and Seller each acknowledge receipt of a disclosure of the possibility of mul Ɵple representaƟon by the Broker represenƟng that principal. Thi s disclosure may be part of a lisƟng agreement, buyer representaƟon agreement or separate document. Buye r understands that Broker represenƟng Buyer may also represent other poten Ɵal buyers, who may consider, make offers on or ul Ɵmately acquire the Property. Seller understands that Broker represenƟng Seller may also represent other sellers with compeƟng properƟes that may be of interest to this Buyer . Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Par Ɵes agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relaƟng to this transacƟon may be brought against Broker more than one year aŌer the Date of Agreement and that the liability (including court costs and aƩorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission rela Ɵng to this Agreement shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitaƟon on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker .
24.3 ConfidenƟal InformaƟon. Buyer and Seller agree to iden Ɵfy to Brokers as "ConfidenƟal" any communicaƟon or informaƟon given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidenƟal.
25. Construc Ɵon of Agreement. In construing this Agreement, all headings and Ɵtles are for the convenience of the Par Ɵes only and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement. Wheneve r required by the context, the singular s h a l li n c l u d et h ep l u r a la nd vice versa. Thi s Agreement shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the ParƟes, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Par Ɵes had prepared it.
26. Contingency:T h i s t r a n s a c t i on is contingent upon the following contingencies:
A.B u yer and Seller acknowled ge they are both party in two separate sales transactions and eac h transaction is contingent upon the other closing concurrently, to com plete the exchange.T h e subject properties are 131 E 7th Street, Oxnard, California and 418 W.4 th Street, Oxnard, California.

24.1 The Par Ɵes and Brokers agree that their relaƟonship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable secƟons of the California Civil Code , as summarized in paragraph 24.2.
24.2 When entering into a discussion with ar e a le s t a t e a g e nt regarding ar e a le s t a t e t r a n s a cƟon, aB u y er or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relaƟonship or representaƟon it has with the agent or agents in the transac Ɵon. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transacƟon, as follows:
(a) Seller's Agent. A Seller's agent under a lis Ɵng agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or subagent has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmos t care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's du Ɵes. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclos e all facts known to the agent materially affecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any con fidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the a ffirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(b) Buyer's Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer's consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situa Ɵons, the agent is not the Seller's 195
agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensaƟon for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. A n agent acƟng only for aB u y er has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons. (1) To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer . (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent's duƟes. b. A duty of hones t and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty t o disclose all facts known to the agent materially a ffecƟng the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent a ƩenƟon and observaƟon of, the ParƟes. A n agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidenƟal informaƟon obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmaƟve duƟes set forth above.
(c) Agent RepresenƟng Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate agent , either acƟng directly or through one or more associate licensees, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transac Ɵon, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer . (1) In a dual agency situa Ɵon, the agent has the following affirmaƟve obligaƟons to both the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other du Ɵes to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respec Ɵve secƟons (a) or (b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) In represen Ɵng both Seller and Buyer, the agent may not, without the express permission of the respecƟve Party, disclose to the other Party confidenƟal informaƟon, including, but not limited to, facts relaƟng to either Buyer's or Seller's financial posiƟon, moƟvaƟons, bargaining posiƟon, or other personal informaƟon that may impact price, including Seller's willingness to accept ap r i c e l e ss than the lisƟng price or Buyer's willingness to pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above du Ɵes of the agent in a real estate transacƟon do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller should carefully read al l agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transacƟon. A real e state agent is ap e r s on qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional. Buyer has the duty to exercise reasonable care to protect Buyer, including as to those fact sa b o u tt h e Property which are known to Buyer or within Buyer's diligent aƩenƟon and observaƟon. Bot h Seller and Buyer should strongly consider obtaining tax advice from a competent professional because the federal and state tax consequences of a transac Ɵon can be complex and subject to change. (d) Further Disclosures. Throughou t this transacƟon Buyer and Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisƟng in the transacƟon. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each Ɵme it is presented, considering the relaƟonship between them and the real estate agent in this transacƟon and that disclosure. Buye r and Seller each acknowledge receipt of a disclosure of the possibility of mul Ɵple representaƟon by the Broker represenƟng that principal. This disclosure may be part of a lis Ɵng agreement, buyer representaƟon agreement or separate document. Buyer understands that Broker represenƟng Buyer may also represent other potenƟal buyers, who may consider, make offers on or ulƟmately acquire the Property. Selle r understands that Broker represenƟng Seller may also represent other sellers with compe Ɵng properƟes that may be of interest to this Buyer . Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The Par Ɵes agree that no lawsuit or other legal proceeding involving any breach of duty, error or omission relaƟng to this transacƟon may be brought against Broker more than one year aŌer the Date of Agreement and that the liability (including court costs and aƩorneys' fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission rela Ɵng to this Agreement shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitaƟon on each Broker's liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker .

BACKGROUND
Executive Summary
The City’s Public Works Department Environmental Resources Division (ER) is an enterprise fund operation that provides Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) services to Oxnard residents and businesses, which includes collection, sorting, processing, and disposal for 34,154 residential properties and 16,378 commercial customers (includes apartment buildings) six days a week. Services include collection, sorting, transportation, and transferring material to the landfill to foster a clean, safe, and sustainable Oxnard. To provide our services while meeting all Local, State, and Federal requirements, ER:
• Recycles approximately 12,918 tons of material and 14,177 tons of organics (green waste & food waste); • Handles approximately 294,938 tons (589,876,000 lbs) of MSW annually; • Has a workforce of 179 essential workers fulfilling 529,443 hours per year; and • Has invested approximately $60 million in capital equipment, facilities, and land including the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station and approximately 138 vehicles (109 heavy-duty trucks & 29 small vehicles)
The last time the City Council approved a cost of service analysis for ER was in May 2012, with a rate increase effective January 2013. Since January 2013 (when accounting for the removal of the Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) in 2021) the residential rate (96-gallons) has gone from $30.15 to $30.78 per month and the most popular commercial rate (4-yard/once per week) has gone from $224.81 to $230.86 per month. This represents a 2.1% residential increase and a 2.7% commercial increase over 10 years. However, over that same decade, the consumer price index has increased by 33.9%.
Separate from rates, service fees (e.g. per ton for disposal of refuse, greenwaste, construction and demolition, and self- 205
haul disposal rates at Del Norte) increased in FYs 2012/13, 2016/17, 2018/19 for pass-through costs and decreased in FY 21/22 for the removal of the IUF.
Clearly, during the 2010’s, City Hall’s discombobulation on the heels of the District Attorney investigations into the prior decade’s activities, shocking financial audit findings, and frequent executive staff turnover had, at minimum, distracted City Hall from following best management practices, including the reviewing of rates every five years. In addition to that, the State has imposed many unfunded mandates on the solid waste industry, such as mandatory recycling and mandatory organics recycling waste programs, that require significant capital investment and operational costs not fully contemplated in previous rate studies.
Based upon the draft Fiscal Year 2023/24 cost-of-service study the ER division expenditures are anticipated to materially outpace revenues resulting in a negative ending cash balance no later than Fiscal Year 2024/25. The combination of minimal rate increases, unfunded State mandates, elevated inflation, and the need for significant capital investment to replace and rehabilitate assets is expected to result in a growing structural deficit.
Reliable and efficient solid waste service is a key component for the maintenance of solid waste services for the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. As mentioned, absent a rate adjustment, the draft cost-of-service study projects negative cash balances by FY 2024/25. Staff has provided some preliminary rate increase scenarios for discussion and consideration. Each of the scenarios assumes changes in key assumptions such as the level and timing of rate revenue adjustments, amount of capital spending, and proposed debt issuances. Based on the direction of City staff, several sensitivity analyses were performed such as examining the effects of no rate adjustment or no capital spending, among other sensitivities.
DISCUSSION
Cost of Service Study
As an industry best management practice, rates should cover the cost of providing services, establish an appropriate level of reserves, and a cost of service study (Study/Studies) should be performed every 3-5 years. This Study is critical to understanding the effectiveness and efficiencies of the operation and verifying existing rates are adequate, and providing a long-term path for the financing viability and sustainability for solid waste operations. The last ER Study was completed in 2012 and implemented in 2013. With respect to the solid waste industry in California, many things have changed over the past decade since this last review was completed. Operations must keep up with rising costs for goods and services, unfunded State mandates, and be able to implement critical capital outlay and projects that are mandated or necessary for the health and safety of our customers.
Performed regularly, Studies provide transparency into what the City can expect in the years ahead and ensure we have the financial resources to maintain our infrastructure, manage vehicles and equipment capacity for growth, implement new technologies, address existing and new state and federal regulations, and implement our capital improvement program (CIP). All of this is to provide reliable and safe service to our customers. The Study is the tool used to develop rates so that rates meet the cost of service plus the appropriate level of reserves.
Raftelis, placed under contract in December of 2022, is assisting the City with the calculations of the cost of service draft study and recommending changes to the current rates and fees structure.
Goals for the Cost of Service Study
When finalized, the cost of service study will determine the overall revenue adjustments and the total amount of revenue required from rates and fees to meet the cost of service over time. The revenue covers operating and maintenance (O&M), debt service, and capital expenses as well as reserve funding. Revenue adjustments represent the average rate increase for the City; rate changes for individual customers will depend on the cost of service analysis. Once complete, the Study will include rates and fees that promote and sustain a financially viable utility. As such, to provide guidance, staff in conjunction with Raftelis have relied upon identifying several goals in the development of preliminary rate options. These goals are important to consider when identifying rate-influencing items with variable options, such as a reserve fund balance target or Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. In general, the goals are to provide a safe, reliable, and sustainable solid waste service. Specific goals include:
206
1. Cover Operations and Maintenance Costs (O&M) - (G1)
2. Cover Capital Investments - (G2)
3. Legally Compliant - (G3)
4. Promote Financial Viability - (G4)
5. Community Values - (G5)
6. Provide Fairness and Equity - (G6)
Input and Considerations
The foundation of the Study and the primary objective of the solid waste rates are to reasonably recover the cost of providing service, the cost of infrastructure investment, implement known State unfunded mandates and comply with covenants of internal and external fiscal targets (referred to as the "Revenue Sufficiency" evaluation).
Ensuring adequate cash reserves and appropriate cash flows generally results in a sustainable long-term financial plan that can mitigate the financial and operating risk from unanticipated or sudden events to financial operations (e.g., changes in market conditions affecting operations and recovered materials revenues, reduced growth or tonnage, unanticipated or extraordinary expenses, unfunded mandates, etc.). The identified revenue requirements to be funded from rates are then allocated based on the type and level of service.
To assess the sustainability of the City’s charges for service, Raftelis developed a draft financial model capable of forecasting solid waste operations over a ten-year Rate Study Period but with the recommended rate revenue adjustment period comprising the Fiscal Years 2024/25 through 2028/29. By forecasting operations over this period of time we can capture funding requirements that may not be annually occurring, test sensitivity to potential changes in operations or costs, and examine projections of cash reserves and net revenue margins to evaluate compliance with formal and informal fiscal policies. Performing a thorough evaluation of the City’s funding requirements allows us to provide sound rate recommendations to help ensure the City has sufficient resources to fund operations and achieve its objectives. The following provides a brief overview of the key activities performed for the draft Study:
1. An evaluation of the service area requirements for the City was performed. This included a review of recent historical customers served and corresponding waste generation such that: i) a representative forecast of the Division’s needs from a financial standpoint could be prepared, and ii) a projection of rate revenues consistent with the projected service area needs could be developed.
2. Raftelis, with the support of City staff, analyzed a projection of the Net Revenue Requirements from rates and fees, which equates to the expenditure requirements funded from rates and fees. An illustration of the components that make up the Net Revenue Requirements is summarized below:
+ Cost of Operation and Maintenance
+ Debt Service (Vehicle Leases)
+ Indirect Cost Allocation and Administration Payments + Capital Funding Requirements
+ Deposits to Reserves for Policy Compliance and Future Expenditures – Other Operating Revenue
– Interest Income / Transfers from Operating Reserves = Net Revenue Requirements (Funded from Rates and Fees)
3. The annual cost of providing solid waste service to City customers was determined by identifying the gross revenue requirements, netting out all other applicable revenues resulting in a net revenue requirement to be funded from the respective fees. The applicable equivalent unit billing determinants, as presented within the cost of service analysis of the draft report, will be used to determine the unit cost of service to be presented in the final report. It should be noted that the information reported herein is accurate to the best of our knowledge and is assumed to be reasonable for the purposes of estimating the cost of service with rate recommendations pursuant to the Proposition 218 Omnibus Implementation Act at Gov. Code 53750. In addition to recommending rates and fees, the intent of providing this information is to help support a general understanding of the City’s financial needs to support ER’s programs, operations, and services.
207
4. Based on the identified funding requirements and the draft cost of service associated with providing service over the Rate Study Period, provide preliminary rate recommendations to ensure adequate funding for the City’s needs and meet the City’s rate goals and objectives.
The following items are key components of developing the draft rate study and have a direct influence on the actual rates.
Staff has recommendations for each item, as noted. Because these factors influence any proposed rate change, staff is seeking feedback from the Public Works and Transportation Committee/City Council on each item separately. The summary of these factors with recommendations is listed below:

The draft cost of service study has evaluated and considered all revenues from both rates and fees, among other revenues.
For purposes of this report and as referenced in the draft cost of service study, rate revenues are defined as the monthly property based charges for solid waste collection and disposal service that must follow the Proposition 218 noticing 208
requirements and process. Fees are defined as charges for solid waste services and while they do not require a Proposition 218 noticing procedure, they must be cost based and in compliance with Proposition 26.
Existing Rates and History (include a benchmark CPI theoretical scenario)
The City Council approved a cost of service analysis last in May 2012, resulting in rate increases effective January 2013.
The authorized increases and decreases noted in the table below cumulatively represent a 2.1% increase in residential rates and a 2.7% increase in the most popular commercial rate since the last Study was approved and implemented in January 2013. However, over that same decade, the consumer price index has increased by 33.9%. The following tables provide the rate history for a residential customer (96-gallon cart):

The below graph shows the history of residential rates since 2012. The graph also includes a benchmark scenario, if rates were theoretically increased annually by the CPI (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California) at a minimum. 209
Note: Residential rates increased in FY 12-13, FY 16-17, FY 18-19 and decreased in FY 21-22, reflecting the IUF reduction.
Efficiency Efforts
The ER staff is entrusted with managing enterprise funds based on an annual budget approved by the City Council. The City is committed to investing in meeting local, state, and federal regulations, ensuring safe and reliable solid waste collection services, and providing excellent customer service to residents and businesses. ER has made significant investments totaling approximately $60 million to the Material Recycling Facility (MRF) at Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station and has acquired Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) automated collection refuse vehicles, replacing older vehicles to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
ER staff actively informs residents and businesses about recycling programs and new organic recycling laws through various channels such as social media, billing inserts, radio broadcasts, and special events. Outreach and education staff are available to assist residents and businesses by providing information on recycling and mandated programs.
Despite efficient efforts to be cost-effective, the City needs rates that meet the actual cost to provide service. Oxnard Refuse customers pay less per person served for refuse service when compared to other nearby cities. The current average rate per person for trash service is compared with other agencies in the table below:
210
Challenges
There are many challenges ER faces with new and old unfunded Local, State, and Federal mandates. These include factors that are outside the control of the City (e.g. unfunded mandates and rising costs of labor, fuel, and disposal cost) and factors due to the post-pandemic (e.g. supply chain restrictions and increased cost to supplies and equipment). Another challenge is the aging vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure that need constant maintenance and repairs.
State Unfunded Mandates -
Several recycling and composting laws that took effect that had major financial and operational impacts on the solid waste collection system:
1. AB 341 Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) – Adopted into California Law in 2012 and requires businesses that generate four or more cubic yards of commercial waste per week and multi-family complexes with five or more units to self-haul or subscribe to recycling services.
2. AB 1826 Mandatory Commercial Organics (MORe) – Effective January 1, 2016, and phases in the number of businesses and multi-family dwellings that are required to subscribe to commercial organic collection service.
3. AB 827 – Effective July 1, 2020, and expands upon requirements of MCR and MORe to include mandatory recycling and organics carts for businesses at the “front of house” (i.e. portion of the business open to the public) to collect waste generated by customers from products they purchase and consume on the premises.
4. SB 1383 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (Organics Recycling) – Effective January 1, 2022, and requires jurisdictions to provide organic waste collection services to all residents and businesses so that they may divert all organic waste to a compost program.
Inflation -
Of significant importance is that the cost to operate a full-service solid waste operation is not immune to inflation. As noted above, the industry has observed significant increases to the cost of solid waste collection, operations, and disposal. 211
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics measures garbage bill increases nationally through a subcomponent to CPI in the Garbage and Trash Index (G&T). The Garbage and Trash Index has increased by 20% since 2020. Raftelis calculated a weighted Producer Price Index (PPI) of the cost inputs to garbage collection service and estimated cost increases may be closer to 40% since 2020 due to labor, capital cost, and fuel cost increases.
The City’s previous solid waste cost of service analysis was last completed in 2012. Costs for goods and services have increased since that year and continue to do so while the refuse utility rates have only slightly changed (2.1% increase in residential rates and a 2.7% increase in the most popular commercial rate). In addition, recent State unfunded mandates have increased the costs of operations to avoid penalties and/or non-compliance actions by the State. This has led to a structural deficit and impacts ER’s financial stability. Without a rate increase, the draft rate model shows a negative cash balance in FY 2024/25.
Note: FY 22-23 Cash Balance base is unaudited and FY 23-24 and beyond are estimates and subject to change.
Aging Infrastructure and Equipment -
As noted above, the ER handles over 589 million pounds of municipal solid waste each year. This takes a significant amount of equipment and infrastructure. ER has 138 vehicles, including 109 large heavy-duty trucks. Additionally, the MRF houses sorters and other associated equipment related to recycling. The sorting equipment, which is key to the 6- day-a-week operations, is 27 years old and requires constant maintenance to keep up with the recycling, greenwaste, food waste, and residual trash, produced by residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Furthermore, the MRF building is 27 years old and houses ER’s administrative staff, conveyors, walking floors, and sorting equipment. The MRF needs 212
significant improvements including a new roof. Here are some examples of operating and capital costs to address this aging equipment and infrastructure:
• Average annual maintenance cost for trash truck (front-end loader) is $19,642 • Current price of a new trash truck (side-loader) is $339,053 (Purchase of zero-emission vehicles is expected to cost up to 200% more than the current price of a new CNG refuse vehicle) • Estimated roof replacement costs: $7.5 million
• Annual maintenance and repairs costs for sorting equipment (we have 31 sorting belt lines made up of conveyors, walking floors and one bailer) which can cost between $250K to $1.5 million per repair • Estimated cost for a like-for-like replacement of the MRF is $36 million (this estimate can fluctuate with the price of steel, metal, inflationary factors, and the consumer price index)
Revenues and Expenditures
The revenue streams for ER have managed to remain relatively stable over time due to several key factors. One of the primary reasons is the consistent collection of solid waste services from both residential households and businesses within the city. Waste generation rates have remained relatively constant, ensuring a consistent flow of revenue for the city's solid waste programs (see table below). On average, revenues have averaged about $47 million per fiscal year. Most recently, revenue has been impacted by the decline in sales of recycled material due to the COVID-19 pandemic, market fluctuation, and new/increased regulations on the cleanliness of the material. All of the other revenues, including the two largest, residential and commercial collections, have remained consistent. This would be consistent with a relatively stable number of customers for residential and commercial accounts.
The largest contributing expenditures to the solid waste program primarily include costs related to waste collection, transportation, and disposal. These expenditures encompass various essential activities and services involved in managing the city's solid waste effectively. Here's a breakdown of key operating expenses:
1. Waste Collection Personnel: A significant portion of the budget is allocated to employing waste collection personnel, including drivers and crew members responsible for collecting waste from residential areas, commercial establishments, and public spaces.
2. Fleet and Equipment Maintenance: Maintaining a fleet of waste collection vehicles, including garbage trucks and recycling vehicles, is crucial for day-to-day operations.
3. Fuel: Refuse heavy-duty and fleet vehicles operate on CNG, diesel, and unleaded fuel.
4. Waste Transportation: The transportation of collected waste to appropriate disposal facilities, recycling centers, or composting sites. This includes fuel costs, vehicle maintenance, and fees associated with using disposal facilities.
5. Disposal Fees: Paying fees to landfill and waste disposal facilities for the final disposal of non-recyclable waste.
Landfill fees are often calculated based on the weight or volume of waste disposed of.
6. Recycling Programs: Funding recycling initiatives, including curbside recycling collection, recycling education campaigns, and the operation of recycling centers, is another significant expenditure. This includes costs related to sorting, processing, and transporting recyclable materials to recycling facilities.
7. Organics Recycling: With the implementation of organic waste recycling programs, costs associated with collecting and processing organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, contribute to the expenditures.
8. Compliance and Regulatory Costs: Meeting state and federal regulations related to waste management, including reporting requirements and environmental compliance, requires funding. Expenditures associated with ensuring adherence to these regulations are essential components of the solid waste program's budget.
213
9. Personnel Training and Safety: Providing training for waste management personnel and ensuring their safety through proper equipment and protocols. Safety measures are crucial to protect both the workers and the community as MRF processors, sorters, and workers are listed as the seventh most dangerous jobs in America.
10. Community Outreach and Education: Engaging in educational initiatives and outreach programs to inform residents and businesses about recycling practices, waste reduction, and proper disposal methods. This helps promote community participation and compliance with waste management guidelines.
ER’s expenditures have seen an increase over the past several years (see table below). In summary, the largest contributing expenditures to the solid waste program encompass waste collection personnel, fleet maintenance, waste transportation, disposal fees, recycling programs, organics recycling, compliance costs, personnel training, safety measures, and community outreach efforts. These expenditures are vital for ensuring efficient and environmentally responsible management of the city's solid waste.
Note: FYs 20-21 through 23-24 include revenue for payment to ER for the Infrastructure Use Fee which will end in FY 23-24. *1Forbes Advisor:https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/workers-comp/most-dangerous-jobs-america/
Rate Change Scenarios (Preliminary Calculations)
To provide revenue that will sustain critical operations and maintenance, debt service, and fund capital expenditures, an increase in rates is recommended. Raftelis began work on the cost of service draft rate study to develop a financial plan for the City’s solid waste utility that includes a ten-year rate model. Based upon the preliminary analysis, a rate adjustment is required to ensure full cost recovery of projected annual operating expenses, capital costs, and other factors including unfunded Local, State, and Federal mandates.
Updating the rates to keep up with the rising costs of providing safe and reliable services is a key component of maintaining the financial viability of the ER funds, including maintaining healthy fund balances/reserves for emergencies and applicable bond covenants (if/when required) and strong credit ratings. It is also more equitable since it looks at what customers should be paying based upon the level and type of service they receive.
To develop the financial plan, Raftelis estimated and projected annual expenses and revenues, existing and proposed debt service, modeled reserve balances, and added planned capital expenditures. The City is anticipating financing a portion of capital improvements through capital leases and debt. It is important to note that the draft cost of service study preliminarily calculates a net revenue loss for Fiscal Year 2023/24. Additionally, the draft cost of service study projects 214
that the structural deficit will continue in future years without an increase in rates.
Because of the projected deficit, staff has worked closely with Raftelis to develop a viable preliminary draft financial plan for the City’s solid waste fund. Due to the existing structural deficit in the ER Fund and the need for rate increases, the draft Study contemplates scenarios. The following scenarios are estimates and are not to be seen as fixed. These are being presented to show the sensitivity of the draft rate model to certain inputs and to initiate the conversation with the Committee Members/Councilmembers to provide comments and feedback.
Based on a collaborative effort among City staff and Raftelis several preliminary sensitivity runs and scenarios were identified and evaluated for comparison and discussion as follows:
o Model Sensitivity 1: No rate adjustment
o Assumes all identified funding requirements including operating, capital, and proposed capital lease and debt payments. Key assumptions include:
▪ Fiscal Year 2023/24 Served as Forecast Baseline as Adjusted for Actual Operating Results and known cost increases / operating expense growth estimated at 4.5% per year ▪ Assumes some additional collection routes to maintain regulatory compliance with SB1383 and service demands
▪ Assumes IUF repayments from the City to ER ends in FY 2023/24Assumes Resumption of IUF payments in FY 2024/25 to the City
▪ $43.7 million Reinvestment to MRF including new equipment and roof FY 2025/26-FY 2027/28
▪ Replacement of vehicles at end of life in FY 2024/25
▪ Compliance with CARB Zero Emissions Vehicle Requirements ▪ Primarily relies on use of capital leases and debt to fully fund capital expenditures o Recognizes no rate adjustments to assess the adequacy of existing fees to cover the cost of service
o Model Sensitivity 2: Rate Adjustments and No Capital Expenditures o Assumes all identified funding requirements except excludes capital spending o Helps identify the necessary rate increases which are driven by the structural deficit among revenues and operating expenses.
o Scenario 1: Rate Adjustments and Reduced Capital Expenditures o Assumes all identified funding requirements except reduces capital expenditures including minimal spending for the MRF rehabilitation and only funding 50% of projected new vehicle fleet requirements.
o Includes an allowance for rebuilding vehicles to extend the service life and minimize capital expenditures.
o Represents a moderate capital spending scenario, but doesn’t fully address capital reinvestment needs of the system
o Scenario 2: Phased Rate Adjustments and Reduced Capital Expenditures o Builds off of Scenario 1, but assumes a $5 million interfund loan to assist ER in phasing the identified rate increases over three (3) years.
o Represents a moderate capital spending scenario with phased increases.
o Scenario 3: Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures o Assumes all identified funding requirements as assumed in Model Sensitivity 1, including the full capital funding requirements.
215
o Represents necessary rate adjustments to fund a fiscally sustainable operation and maintain regulatory compliance.
o Scenario 4: Phased Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures o Builds off of Scenario 3, but assumes a $5 million interfund loan to assist ER in phasing the identified rate increases over three (3) years.
o Represents necessary rate adjustments to fund a fiscally sustainable operation and maintain regulatory compliance with phased increases.
Baseline Model Assumptions
Assumes all identified funding requirements including operating, capital, and proposed capital lease and debt payments.
Key assumptions include:
o Fiscal Year 2023/24 Served as Forecast Baseline as Adjusted for Actual Operating Results and known cost increases / operating expense growth estimated at 4.5% per year o Assumes some additional collection routes to maintain regulatory compliance with SB1383 and service demands o Assumes IUF repayments from the City to ER ends in FY 2023/24 o Assumes Resumption of IUF payments in FY 2024/25 to the City o $43.7 million Reinvestment to MRF including new equipment and roof FY 2025/26-FY 2027/28 o Replacement of vehicles at end of life in FY 2024/25
o Compliance with CARB Zero Emissions Vehicle Requirements o Primarily relies on use of capital leases and debt to fully fund capital expenditures. o Recognizes no rate adjustments to assess the adequacy of existing fees to cover the cost of service
Model Sensitivity 1: No rate adjustment
The following charts present a forecast of the cashflow requirements relative to a projection of existing revenues. As can be seen, the solid green line presents the projected revenues under existing rates. A decline in revenues is observed in FY 2024/25 due to the final repayment of IUF reimbursement from the City. Conversely, IUF payments to the City are assumed to begin in the Fiscal Year 2024/25. Operating expenses represented as the blue stacked bars are projected to increase by approximately 4.5% per year on average.
Capital expenditures funded directly from revenues are reflected as the blue stacked bar for FY 2023/24. Debt service requirements are represented as the purple stacked bar and reflect the addition of both existing capital lease payments and proposed capital lease and debt service payments associated with the funding of $77.9 million in capital spending as shown below.
216
Assuming no rate adjustments ER system cash balances are estimated to fall negative by the Fiscal Year 2024/25 as shown below.
Model Sensitivity 2: Rate Adjustments and No Capital Expenditures
Assumes all identified funding requirements pursuant to Model Sensitivity 1 except it excludes capital spending to help identify the necessary rate increases to address the structural deficit among revenues and operating expenses. The following charts present a forecast of the cashflow requirements relative to a projection of existing revenues. As can be seen in this scenario in contrast with Model Sensitivity 1, the forecast does not reflect any increase in debt service payments.
217
To fully fund the revenue requirements of the scenario the following rate adjustments were recognized:
Assuming implementation of the identified rate adjustments the City is expected to maintain compliance with the minimum reserve target equivalent to 25% of operating expenditures.
Scenario 1: Rate Adjustments and Reduced Capital Expenditures
Assumes all identified funding requirements pursuant to Model Sensitivity 1 except reduces capital expenditures including minimal spending for the MRF rehabilitation and only funding 50% of projected new vehicle fleet requirements. Includes an allowance for rebuilding vehicles to extend the service life and minimize capital expenditures. Represents a moderate capital spending scenario, but doesn’t fully address capital reinvestment needs of the system. As can be seen in this scenario in contrast with Model Sensitivity 1, the forecast assumes less debt service associated with more moderate capital 218
spending assumptions.
The following chart presents the total capital funding requirements assumed in this scenario. The majority of spending is assumed in the Fiscal Year 2025/26 associated with funding for the replacement of the MRF facility roof and partial equipment replacement. It is expected that the City will require further capital reinvestment to the MRF facility beyond the forecast period.
To fully fund the revenue requirements of the scenario the following rate adjustments were recognized:
Assuming implementation of the identified rate adjustments the City is expected to maintain compliance with the minimum reserve target equivalent to 25% of operating expenditures.
219
Scenario 2: Phased Rate Adjustments and Reduced Capital Expenditures
Builds off of Scenario 1, but assumes a $5 million interfund loan to assist ER in phasing the identified rate increases over three (3) years. Represents a moderate capital spending scenario with phased increases. As can be seen in this scenario in contrast with Scenario 3, the forecast assumes a more moderate phase-in of the proposed system revenues.
The following rate adjustments were recognized:
Assuming implementation of the identified rate adjustments the City is expected to reach compliance with the minimum reserve target equivalent to 25% of operating expenditures, however, cash reserves are expected to be substantially depleted by the Fiscal Year 2025/26 resulting in an increased financial risk to other City funds.
220
Scenario 3: Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures
Assumes all identified funding requirements as assumed in Model Sensitivity 1, including the full capital funding requirements. Represents necessary rate adjustments to fund a fiscally sustainable operation and maintain regulatory compliance. The following chart presents a forecast of the funding requirements consistent with Model Sensitivity 1, however also assumes additional revenue adjustments. The debt assumptions observed to fully fund the CIP assume: i) $46.5 million in 20-year loans at 5% interest for the facility capital improvements; and ii) approximately $28 million in capital leases with a 7-year repayment at 3% interest. Total debt and capital lease payments are expected to increase from approximately $2 million a year to $10 million a year at its highest level by the Fiscal Year 2027/28.
The following presents the proposed rate adjustments to fully fund the requirements of this scenario.
Assuming implementation of the identified rate adjustments the City is expected to maintain compliance with the 221
minimum reserve target equivalent to 25% of operating expenditures, however, cash reserves are expected to be substantially depleted by the Fiscal Year 2025/26 resulting in an increased financial risk to other City funds.
Scenario 4: Phased Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures
Assumes all identified funding requirements as stated in Model Sensitivity 1 and Scenario 3, including the full capital funding requirements. It only varies from Scenario 3 in that it phases the rate increase over a 3-year period through an assumed $5 million interfund loan. As can be seen in this scenario in contrast with Scenario 3, the forecast assumes a more moderate phase-in of the proposed system revenues.
The following rate adjustments were recognized:
Assuming implementation of the identified rate adjustments the City is expected to reach compliance with the minimum reserve target equivalent to 25% of operating expenditures, however, cash reserves are expected to be substantially 222
depleted by the Fiscal Year 2025/26 resulting in an increased financial risk to other City funds.
Scenario Comparisons and Key Observations:
Scenario Residential Bill Impact Comparison
As can be seen below, Scenario 1 and 3 represent the largest single rate revenue adjustments ranging from approximately $14 to $15 per month. Based on comparison Model Sensitivity 2 we can infer that 86% of the rate increase is to address the operating expenses / structural deficiency of the system. Of Scenarios 1 and 3, only Scenario 3 fully funds the total identified needs of the system.
Additionally, we performed a sensitivity with Scenarios 2 and 4, which phased in the rate increases over a three (3) year period. Scenario 2 represents the moderate capital funding at $7.55/month while Scenario 4 represents the full capital funding requirements at $8.70/month.

Financial Assistance Programs
The City of Oxnard’s Utility Rate Assistance Program “Project Assist” is available for solid waste, water, and wastewater utility customers who qualify. This program was initially approved by City Council in May 2017 and has since been renewed annually. Project Assist grants financial relief equal to a monthly $25.00 maximum credit per utility bill charged to customers who meet the eligibility requirements. For FY 2023/24, staff requested to direct $241,500 from late penalty revenues to the Project Assist Program. The $241,500 allocation estimates that approximately 805 eligible utility customers could participate in the program for a full fiscal year.
Outreach Information
Requirements for Prop 218 and Timeline:
Proposition 218 has very strict rules that govern the revenue of the solid waste utility. Specifically:
1. An agency cannot collect revenue beyond what is necessary to provide the service.
2. Revenues derived from the charge shall not be used for any other purpose other than that for which the charge was imposed.
3. The amount of the fee may not be used for any other purpose other than that for which the change was imposed.
4. The amount of the fee may not exceed the proportional cost of service for the parcel.
5. No charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used or immediately available to the owner of the property.
6. A written notice of the proposed charge shall be mailed to the record owner of each parcel at least 45 days prior to the public hearing when the agency considers all written protests against the charge.

Public Hearing for Proposed Rate
In addition to the required notification listed above, the City has created a multi-faceted outreach campaign to raise awareness of the Refuse Cost of Service draft Study, which includes two Community Meetings scheduled for Wednesday, November 15, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. at the South Oxnard Center and Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. at the Oxnard City Council Chambers - streamed virtually via the City’s YouTube Channel.
Additionally, staff anticipates distributing a bilingual press release before the Community Meetings; running English and Spanish social media ads on Facebook and Instagram to inform residents and stakeholders; and publishing a bilingual print ad in VIDA newspaper. Paid outreach will be supplemented by including Refuse Cost of Service Study Community Meeting flyers in the neighborhood weekly packets and regularly posting on Nextdoor, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
The City’s consultant, Raftelis, created an informational Rates 101 video in English and Spanish, which will be shared by staff at Community Meetings, on the City website, and via the City’s social media channels. Additionally, staff has created an ER Division video in English and Spanish, which details the operations and services provided by the division, and the economic challenges the division faces. The videos will be shared in a series of small clips on a YouTube playlist and social media channels for the community to access.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The solicitation of City Council input and feedback has no fiscal impact. Absent a rate adjustment, the draft cost of service study projects negative cash balances by FY 2024/25.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 2-0 on November 14, 2023, to approve the staff recommendation and forward the item to the Council for input. The context of the staff report from Committee has been edited based on comments received at the November 14, 2023 meeting. In addition, the recommendation section has been updated to include comments that were received.

Why would the City do a solid waste rate study?
• The City’s Environmental Resources Division (Enterprise Fund) is not like other government services (Police, Fire, Libraries, Parks) that are funded by tax dollars from the General Fund
• The environmental resources enterprise (City’s Environmental Resources Division) is funded by customer rate revenue
› It’s a non-profit business
• Rates must keep up with costs to operate the City’s solid waste collection and disposal
• The last time City approved a cost-of-service study was in 2012 • Additional Key State Regulations: SB1383 Required addition of New Routes with No Change in Staffing resulting in Significant Increase in Overtime • By law (Proposition 218), rates must be based on the cost to provide solid waste service 3 260

Rates and Fees Design Overview
• Rates are defined as property based
charged which must follow state law in
design of the fees including Prop. 26
and Prop. 218
• Fees do not require following Prop.
218 but are required to follow Prop. 26
7 • Rates and Fees must follow all applicable laws and regulations including:
› Prop. 218
– An agency cannot collect revenue beyond what is necessary to provide the service.
Revenues derived by the charge shall not be used for any other purpose other than that for which the charge was imposed.
– A written notice of the proposed charge shall be mailed to the record owner of each parcel at least 45 days prior to the public hearing when the agency considers all written protests against the charge.
› Prop 26
– A fee need not bear a special benefit to the property so long as the fee bears a reasonable relationship to the burden the fee payor imposes on society 264
