Consistent with VCAPCD’s Guidelines, Mitigation Measures AQ-1 is and AQ-2 are required to reduce the project’s ROC and NOX emissions, respectively, from construction equipment.
AQ-1 ROC Construction Reduction Measures
Per VCAPCD recommendation, during project construction, the project applicant shall use architectural coatings with ROC contents of 25 g/L or less.
AQ-21 NOX Construction Reduction Measures
Per VCAPCD recommendation, when because project construction emissions would exceed 25 pounds per day for NOX, the following measures shall be implemented:
Significance After Mitigation
Implementation of Mitigation Measures AQ-1 and AQ-2 would reduce maximum daily ROC and NOX emissions.
Response 1.4
The commenter concurs with the inclusion of mitigation to require Tier 3 diesel engines for all offroad construction equipment.
This comment is noted, and no changes to the IS-MND are required.
Response 1.5
The commenter suggests using the average daily trip (ADT) rate from the project-specific traffic study rather than the CalEEMod default trip generation rate. The commenter recommends replacing the default CalEEMod ADT input of 403 ADT with the daily ADT indicated in the Traffic Study of 567 trips 5 852

2420 Oxnard Boulevard U-Haul Project Responses to Comments on the Draft IS-MND per day. The commenter also recommends separating trips by land use category and considering operational days (Mon-Fri, Sat, Sun) when making corrections.
In response to the comment, the CalEEMod trip rates were updated to reflect the trip data contained in the project-specific Traffic Study. The Traffic Study provided daily ADT for weekdays (Mon-Fri), but not for weekends. Therefore, daily ADT for weekdays was also applied to weekends. This represents a conservative analysis because the proposed commercial land use typically generates more trips on weekdays than weekends.
Table 2 , Operational Emissions in Section 3, Air Quality, on page 24 of the Draft IS-MND has been revised as follows:

Notes: See Appendix A for CalEEMod worksheets. Emission data is pulled from “mitigated” results from the winter season CalEEMod output, which account for compliance with regulations and project design features.
The preceding discussion on page 24 of the Draft IS-MND has been revised as follows:
CalEEMod provides default trip generation rates, which Trip generation rates from the project-specific Traffic Impact Analysis (raSmith 2021) were used to estimate mobile source emissions.
Additionally, revisions have been made to Section 5, Climate Change and Greenhouse Gases, and Section 7, Energy. In Section 5 on pages 38 and 39 of the Draft IS-MND, Table 3 and the preceding discussion have been revised to reflect the updated emissions estimates as follows:
As shown in Table 6, the increase in annual emissions from both construction and operation of the proposed project would total approximately 8761,024 MT of CO2e.

In Section 7 on page 47 of the Draft IS-MND, Table 4 and the preceding discussion have been revised to reflect the updated emissions estimates as follows:
According to the CalEEMod calculations, the project would result in 1,119,0181,553,454 annual VMT resulting from the 403567 average daily trips during the week generated by the project during operation (Appendix A). Table 4 shows the estimated total annual fuel consumption of the project using the estimated trip generation and VMT with the assumed vehicle fleet mix (Appendix A). One gallon of gasoline is equivalent to approximately 109,786 Btu (CARB 2015), while one gallon of diesel is equivalent to approximately 127,460 Btu (Schremp 2017).
As shown in Table 4, the project would consume approximately 57,96780,473 gallons of fuel, or 6,5169,046 MMBtu, each year for transportation uses from project operation.

detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
SECTION 4. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the Special Use Permit Staff Report and all attachments thereto, the City Council finds:
1. The proposed use is in conformance with the General Plan and other adopted policies of the City of Oxnard.
As described in the Staff Report, the existing underutilized warehouse/showroom (2420 N. Oxnard Boulevard) would be renovated and converted into a mini-warehouse/personal storage facility. The Project has a zoning designation of General Commercial, Planned Development (C-2-PD) which is consistent with the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Commercial General. The proposed Project is an adaptive reuse of the existing warehouse and showroom and would not involve any new expansion of the existing building footprint and would maintain the current overall building height of 34 feet. The applicant proposes to convert the existing parking lot at the north end of the site into a new moving truck rental storage/equipment area. The applicant is also proposing to build a new screen wall which will mimic the primary building to completely screen the proposed truck and equipment rental staging area. The remainder of the parking area to the north would be for customer parking.
A parking demand study was completed to evaluate and determine the appropriate amount of required parking for the project. Currently the OCC does not stipulate parking requirements for mini-warehouse/storage use. The study reviewed the parking requirements based on the OCC for the applicable retail and warehouse land uses and the ITE parking generation manual, 4th Edition for the mini-warehouse land use. Based on those requirements the project would require 63 parking spaces. As proposed the project is providing 75 standard parking spaces and 2 motorcycle parking spaces. Currently, a parking easement exists between the U-Haul site and the adjacent parcel to the south (Marseilles Property, 2368 N. Oxnard Boulevard), which allows 18 spaces on the U-Haul site to be used by the Marseilles property. For purposes of meeting City parking code requirements, these shared spaces cannot be counted towards the U-Haul site total parking supply. However, even with the exclusion of these parking spaces the total exceeds the City’s minimum requirement of 63 spaces.
The proposed development would involve renovating the existing structure, including an updated façade. The modifications to the façade would implement neutral paint colors, minimal advertising per OCC (Chapter 16, Article IX), and a variety of materials to help create varied visual character. The front of the building visible from Oxnard Boulevard, as shown in the west elevation of the project plans (Sheet A-203-Attachment B), would consist primarily of light stone colored and ribbed metal paneling, broken up by windows on the single-story section of the building. 866
City Council Resolution No. _________
PZ 17-500-11; U-Haul Project
March 4, 2024
The two-story portion of the existing building would utilize off-white as the primary color, with accents of beige ribbed paneling on the building corners, and in three equally spaced divisions along the west elevation, to break up the building’s visual massing. The building façade would also include wall mounted metal landscape trellises on the single-single story portions of the west and east elevations and windows at the corners of the warehouses where retail spaces would exist. Lastly, the proposed screen wall would be designed to mimic the improved building. The proposed modifications would not contrast significantly with the visual character of the surrounding structures.
The adjacent structure to the south of the proposed project site has a stone block outer wall construction with painted metal paneling near the roof. The beige colors proposed for the Project would be similar to the adjacent structure, and the metal paneling accents would have a shared theme. The structures further to south, also have a similar color scheme, with a beige colored stone exterior with light brown accents.
The Project includes new landscaping throughout the project site in two phases.
Phase I landscaping was installed under the minor modification (PZ 17-140-02) and included replacing 26,865 square feet of the existing perimeter landscaping with new trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Phase II landscaping would include 38,646 square feet of new interior parking lot landscaping at the north end of the site, new tree canopies to be planted along the south end of the site and new landscaping at the rear site adjacent to the railroad tracks. Additional, landscape modification will be made to the initial Phase I landscaping to improve the screening of the storage area. This is an important improvement as Oxnard Blvd is a designated scenic corridor which requires a landscaped buffer of at least 30 feet, and functions as a primary entry way into the core of the City. The existing parking lot and interior access road is located within this 30-foot area and is considered to be a “legal nonconforming” existing condition. Additional landscaping is proposed to be installed, along the northern portion of the project sign, including in the adjacent right of way, as conditioned. The Project incorporates native and water wise plants and is conditioned to comply with City’s Landscape and Water Conservation Standards (Ordinance No. 2822) and applicable water conservation requirements of the State of California.
As shown above, the Project, as designed and conditioned, meets all applicable development standards. Therefore, the proposed project is in compliance with the 2030 General Plan and other adopted policies of the City of Oxnard and meets this Finding.
2. The nature, condition and development of adjacent uses, buildings and structures shall be considered, and no proposed Special Use Permit shall be granted if the approval body finds such use will adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings or structures or to the public health, safety or general welfare.

As described in the Staff Report, pursuant to the 2030 General Plan land use designation “Commercial General” and the “General Commercial, Planned Development” zoning district, the proposed use of the project site as a mini-warehouse/self-storage, warehouse, and truck and equipment rentals are uses authorized by City Council, subject to a Special Use Permit. The surrounding uses are characterized by commercial uses, which are predominantly grocery and retail, auto repair and residential neighborhood uses. Construction activities, anticipated uses, and development design will be subject to standard construction requirements of the Building, Fire, and Traffic Codes as well additional conditions listed below and, in the Final IS/MND Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP).
Therefore, the proposed use and improvements, as conditioned, will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to the adjacent uses, buildings, or structures or to the public health, safety or general welfare.
3. The site that is subject to the Special Use Permit shall be adequate in size and shape to accommodate the yards, walls, fences, parking and loading facilities, landscaping, and items which may be required by Section 16-532 (Conditions).
As described in the Staff Report, the project as designed and conditioned meets the development standards of the General Commercial (C-2) zone as described above in Section 4(1). Pursuant to the Zoning Code, the Project in a renovation and conversion of an existing warehouse and showroom has been designed to be consistent with the maximum building height, front, side and rear setbacks, and lot coverage. As detailed in the Staff report and attached parking study demand, the provided parking is sufficient for the proposed uses, and thus the site is sufficient to accommodate the required parking. As such, the subject site is adequate in terms of size and as developed the development meets or exceeds City’s design standards.
Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee and was determined that it would have no significant impact on the public health, safety, or welfare and the project plans have been reviewed by all applicable departments and outside agencies, which include the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments. As such, this project meets this finding.
4. The site that is subject to the Special Use Permit shall be served by highways adequate in width and improved as necessary to carry the kind and quantity of traffic such use will generate.
As described in the Staff Report, the existing development on the project site includes an events center building. The project site has two access points from Oxnard Boulevard via an existing driveway at the south end of the site and a proposed driveway towards the north end of the site. In addition to the improved onsite circulation, the Project has been conditioned to install a Gold Coast Transit bus stop adjacent to the slip/merge to the north of the driveway. The stop shall have a 868

March 4, 2024
minimum of 30 feet of standard width sidewalk with an additional 8’ x 30’ pad to the north of the driveway. The City finds that the proposed project, as conditioned, and in the context of the documentation provided and reviewed demonstrate that there is sufficient parking capacity. Additionally, a new traffic signal is required to be installed at the intersection of Orchard Place and North Oxnard Boulevard. Therefore, the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in size and existing intersections adjacent to the project site will operate at acceptable levels of service.
5. The site that is subject to the Special Use Permit shall be provided with adequate sewerage, water, fire protection and storm drainage facilities.
As described in the Staff Report, the existing underutilized warehouse/showroom (2420 N. Oxnard Boulevard) would be renovated and converted into a mini-warehouse/personal storage facility. The proposed Project improvements have been found to be consistent with anticipated development for this site. Furthermore, the Project will be served by existing City of Oxnard water and sewer mains and adequate Fire Protection will be provided as determined by the Development Advisory Committee. In accordance with the Stormwater Quality Conditions of this Resolution, the Project’s design will comply with stormwater control measures as required by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board’s municipal separate storm sewer system (“MS4”) permit. The Project is consistent with the level of development identified under the General Plan and Oxnard City Code, and therefore are within the anticipated level of development. The project is not anticipated to result in any significant impacts to utilities and public services.
Therefore, the site for the proposed use will be provided with adequate sewage, water, fire protection and storm drainage facilities.
SECTION 5. The City Council, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), determines that after implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures identified in the Final IS/MND 22-04, all potentially significant impacts associated with the proposed project would be reduced to less than significant levels.
SECTION 6. Based on the findings set forth herein and the Staff Report and all attachments thereto, the City Council hereby approves Planning and Zoning Permit No. 17-500-11 (Special Use Permit), subject to the attached conditions of approval.
SECTION 7. The decision of the City Council shall be final.
SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Resolution. [Remainder of this page left intentionally blank.]

Environmental Review
• An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to evaluate potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project.
• Final IS/MND includes a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program:
a. Details process to implement required mitigation measures b. After implementation of standard conditions and mitigation measures, all potentially significant impacts reduced to less than significant levels • Final IS/MND identified the following:
a. Class 2 impacts (potentially significant by mitigable, mitigation required) i. Air Quality
ii. Biological Resources
iii. Cultural and Tribal Cultural Resources
b. All other impact area were identified as Class 3 (less than significant) • Staff determined that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed project changes would not alter these findings, as the proposed scope of work remains the same.
8 902
Planning Commission
• In 2019, the Community Development Director indicated to the Applicant team that staff was not likely to support the use, which had continued to change since their 2017 submittal.
• In 2020, after additional meetings between the Applicant team and City, Staff indicated they would not provide a recommendation to the Planning Commission on the proposed request.
• Discussion ensued regarding the appropriateness of the proposed use, traffic, solar requirements, and potential for alternative uses. • The Commission requested additional clarification on the sales and property tax generation numbers provided by the applicant and direction on possible solar requirements and continued the item to December 15, 2022. 9 903
Planning Commission (Cont.)
• At the December 15th meeting, the item was continued to the January 5th, 2023 meeting to allow more time to gather the information. • On January 5, 2023, the Planning Commission received and reviewed the requested additional information from the project applicant and staff. • The Planning Commission considered the Project and following Commission deliberation, adopted a motion of Intent to recommend approval of the Project.
• On February 2, 2023, the Commission voted 5-1 (with one commissioner absent), to adopt a resolution recommending approval of the Special Use Permit to City Council.
10904
Project Concerns and April 13, 2023 City Council Meeting 11 Prior to the hearing, and during the Planning Commission meeting, the primary concerns raised were related to:
● Appropriateness of the Uses Proposed.
● View Corridors.
For these reasons, along with other issues related to the lack of compliance of U-hauls existing operations, at the April 13, 2023 City Council meeting staff's recommendation was to deny the application.
As a result of staff’s recommendation, the applicant team opted to pull the item from the agenda, to allow for time to work with City staff to address the City’s concerns.
905
Appropriateness of the Uses Proposed
12 ● In the consideration of this project, the City Council must consider the appropriateness of each of the proposed uses, as they relate to the intent of the C-2 zone and CG land use designation. ● The Commercial General land use designation allows retail centers and free-standing commercial uses along arterials. The intent of the C-2 zone is primarily to allow for retailing, office and service-related uses, as well as residential.
● With the exception of the retail aspect of the project, the applicants requested uses are currently only permissible in the City's industrial zones.
906
Primary Project Changes
13 ● Improved Architecture and Landscaping - The applicant modified the proposed architecture to provide additional design details as well as provide for increased landscaping along Oxnard Boulevard.
● Elimination of the RV Storage - The proposed RV Storage was removed from the proposed requests.As a result of the removal of the RV Storage aspect of the project, the truck and equipment storage area was able to be relocated to the northern portion of the site.
● Improved screening and relocation of the Truck and Equipment Rentals - The proposed fence screen has been upgraded to a screen wall designed to look like an extension of the building. This change was made to address concerns regarding the visual impacts of the project on Oxnard Boulevard which is a designated scenic corridor.

Zoning Code Compliance - Mini-warehouse/Self-storage Uses 22 • In 1975, the City Council passed Resolution 6446, which established development standards for mini-warehouses. This resolution stated that "Mini-warehouses may locate in C-M (Commercial - Manufacturing) and M-1 (Light Industrial), M-L (Limited Industrial) Zones.”
• In 2009, the City Council passed Ordinance 2807, which removed mini-warehouses as a permitted use in the C-2 zone. At that time, the City determined that the general allowance of self-storage facilities was not consistent with purpose and intent of the General Plan for the C-2 zone and the use is not consistent with the other retailing, office and service-related uses permitted or conditionally permitted in the C-2 zone. This change was processed as a “clean-up” action to make the Oxnard City Code language consistent with the mini-warehouse policies adopted by the City Council in 1975 and the General Plan.
916
Financial Impact
• Allowing for the redevelopment of the project site is anticipated to generate additional sales and property tax revenue that would positively benefit the City’s General Fund.
23917
City Council Recommendation
1) Conduct a public hearing, and
2) Adopt a resolution adopting a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) 22-04 and Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (MMRP); and 3) Adopt a resolution approving Planning and Zoning Permit No. 17-500-11 (Special Use Permit), based on the findings presented and attached conditions of approval.

AGENDA ITEM NO. N.1
DATE: March 4, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Environmental Resources (Solid Waste) Rates Update Report. (20 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council receive and file the Solid Waste Rates Update Report. (As of the date of this City Council agenda being posted, there is not yet an outcome from the February 27, 2024 Public Works and Transportation Committee. Staff is available to answer any questions).
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/4ZzhKVZ5c8o
BACKGROUND
At the December 5, 2023, City Council meeting, an agenda item was presented with solid waste rate scenarios. At that meeting, staff and the City’s solid waste rate consultant (Raftelis) discussed topics including the rate-setting process, legal requirements, financial planning, solid waste cost of service, and rate design. Four solid waste rate scenarios developed by Public Works staff and Raftelis were discussed extensively with the City Council.
DISCUSSION
At the December 5, 2023, City Council meeting, the City Council provided their feedback and recommended Scenario 3: Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures. Scenario 3 fully funds the projected revenue requirements with greater near-term rate adjustments, but lower overall increases over the five-year rate adjustment period compared to Scenario 4. (Please see the attached staff report from December 5, 2023, with additional information about the scenarios presented to the City Council.) Public Works staff proceeded with the City Council’s recommendation and directions as follows:
1. Scenario 3, projects all funding requirements including operating, capital, and proposed capital lease and debt payments. The key assumptions include:
i. Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Served as the baseline for the Rate Study Period as adjusted for actual operating results and known cost increases;
1. The operating expense growth is estimated at 4.2% per year; ii. Assumes some additional collection routes to maintain regulatory compliance with AB1826, AB827, SB1383, and regular service demands;
iii. Assumes Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) repayments from the City to ER ends in Fiscal Year 2024; iv. Assumes resumption of IUF payments in Fiscal Year 2025 to the City; v. $40.7M reinvestment to MRF including new equipment and roof Fiscal Year 2026 - Fiscal Year 2028 vi. Replacement of vehicles at end of life in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 vii. Compliance with CARB Zero Emissions Vehicle Requirements 920
1. Primarily relies on use of capital leases and debt to fully fund capital expenditures viii. Represents necessary rate adjustments to fund a fiscally sustainable operation and maintain regulatory compliance, and;
2. Proceed with creating and sending the required Proposition 218 notices to all solid waste customers and property owners.
3. Target a rate-setting public hearing and the introduction of a new ordinance containing the proposed solid waste rates at the City Council meeting on March 19, 2024.
4. Plan on adopting the Ordinance at the City Council meeting on April 16, 2024.
Final Cost of Service:
During the December 5, 2023, Council discussion about rates, staff reiterated that they were preliminary, with actual rate changes for individual customers dependent on the final cost-of-service analysis. The cost-of-service analysis is complete and is available online at: www.oxnard.org/refuserates
The table below represents a comparison of the preliminary estimated residential rates (three 96-gallon cart service) presented to Council on December 5, 2023, and the final rates included in the Prop 218 notice:

The cost of service study is also attached to this staff report. The report provides three primary objectives:
1. Develop a financial plan for the ER Fund to ensure financial sufficiency, meet operations and maintenance costs, provide funding for capital replacement and renewal (R&R) needs and improve the financial health of the enterprise;
2. Review the current rate structure for the ER Fund and propose recommended changes based on the cost of service; and
3. Perform a cost allocation and prepare a recommended five-year schedule of rates and fees for the ER Fund.
Schedule:
921
The upcoming rate-setting Public Hearing and introduction of the proposed solid waste rate ordinance is scheduled for March 19, 2024. These proceedings are consistent with the requirements of Proposition 218 and include the notice, mailed to the required recipients, pursuant to the timeline required by the State. Furthermore, the City has adopted Resolution Number 14,877 (adopted in 2015), which outlines the procedures for establishing and increasing fees and charges under Proposition 218 (Resolution attached for reference). The proceedings for any solid waste rate increase will be consistent with the requirements outlined in this Resolution. The Proposition 218 notices were mailed out to all property owners of record and solid waste customers (a Prop 218 notice is attached to this staff report).
Outreach:
In addition to the November 14, 2023, Public Works and Transportation Committee meeting and the December 5, 2023, City Council meeting, four community meetings were planned and three have already been held on the following dates:
• November 15, 2023, at the South Oxnard Library
• December 13, 2023, at the City Council Chambers
• January 30, 2024, at the City Council Chambers

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 self923 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:
924
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.
925
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 926
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):

IUF Reduced
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. 927
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:
928
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. 929
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 930
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. 931
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 932
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.
933
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.
934
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.
935
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 936
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. 937
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. 938
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 939
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 940
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.

Subject: Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report Dear Mr. Yanez:
Raftelis is pleased to provide this Environmental Resources Rate Study report for the City of Oxnard (City) to address current financial challenges the City is facing and to establish the Environmental Resources Enterprise Fund (ER Fund) solid waste system (System) rates and fees that are equitable and align with Proposition 218. The major objectives of the study include the following:
● Develop a financial plan for the ER Fund to ensure financial sufficiency, meet operation and maintenance costs, provide funding for capital replacement and renewal (R&R) needs, and improve the financial health of the enterprise;
● Review the current rate structure for the ER Fund and propose recommended changes based on the cost of service; and
● Perform a cost allocation and prepare a recommended five-year schedule of rates and fees for the ER Fund.
The report summarizes the key findings and recommendations related to the development of the financial plans for the solid waste enterprise and the development of the updated solid waste (refuse) Enterprise Fund rates and fees.
It has been a pleasure working with you and we thank you and the City staff for the support provided during the course of this study.
Sincerely,
Thierry A. Boveri, CGFM

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 8
1. Executive Summary
1.1. Background
The City of Oxnard (City) contracted with Raftelis Financial Consultants (Raftelis) to conduct an Environmental Resources Rate Study (Study) comprising a ten-year financial forecast, a cost-of-service analysis, and a proposed five-year schedule of rates and fees1
for the Solid Waste System (System) of the Environmental Resources Department (Department). The Department is established as an Environmental Resources Enterprise Fund (ER Fund) meaning that the rates and fees for service must cover the cost of the service. This Study presents the financial plans, the cost-of-service analysis, and the proposed rates and fees for the Environmental Resources Enterprise Fund.
This Executive Summary provides a detailed overview of the rate study process, financial plan, proposed rates and bill impacts, and a monthly residential bill comparison. Through this Rate Study the City desires to establish fair and equitable rates that:
● Fund the projected fiscal requirements of the ER Fund in terms of operation and maintenance costs, capital replacement and refurbishment (R&R) in order to maintain operations, cash reserve (Reserves) levels, and improve the financial health of the enterprise; and ● Recommend a proposed five-year schedule of solid waste rates that meet the statutory requirements set forth in Proposition 218.
The City’s Department provides solid waste collection service to a population of over 201,000 customers in the City through approximately 34,480 residential customers and 5,082 commercial customers and apartment buildings. On an annual basis, the Department’s customers generate over 295,0002 tons of municipal solid
waste. In addition, the Department processes approximately 24,900 tons of comingled recyclables and 22,000 tons of organic materials (green waste and food waste) at the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station (Del Norte Facility). The Del Norte Facility includes a scale house to weigh materials, a tipping floor to unload materials, a transfer facility for outbound materials, and a materials recovery facility (MRF) to process recyclables. The Del Norte Facility also accepts certain household hazardous waste, bulky materials, and other household wastes. The combined waste/recycle tonnages managed by ER’s collections amounts to approximately 317,100 tons annually as later presented in Table 29 within section 3 of this report. To dispose of outbound materials, the City has agreements with Waste Management for the disposal of solid waste at the Simi Valley Landfill, and with Agromin for the processing of organic materials.
1.2. Process
Raftelis developed a financial plan for the ER Fund which sets forth the total revenue adjustments needed to meet capital investments, operational expenses, debt service obligations, and increasing Reserve levels during the five-year rate-setting period. Raftelis worked with City staff to confirm key assumptions relied upon in the 1 Reference is made to the City’s rates and fees throughout this document to provide a distinction whereby “rates” refers to charges which are subject to Proposition 218 requirements while “fees” refers to optional services that are not subject to the Proposition 218 requirements.
2 Represents the annual amount of material collected and landfilled by the Department and includes residuals from processing of recyclables, bulky items, and other wastes. 951
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 9 determination of the Study recommendations, including the analysis of the adequacy of the operational requirements and corresponding costs to meet the level of service requirements of the System. This work effort resulted in the development of preliminary financial plan options for consideration by the City Council as presented at the December 5, 2023 council meeting. After presenting the financial plans, and receiving direction from City Council, Raftelis performed the cost-of-service analysis to determine the System rates and fees based on the selected financial plan.
Raftelis also assisted the City in presenting the rate and fee setting processes at community meetings in November and December 2023, as well as in January 2024. These events were conducted to inform customers about the levels of service the City provides, the need for Revenue Adjustment and associated fees (Revenue Adjustments) in order to continue providing these services, and the Proposition 218 legal requirements. During the preparation of the cost of service analysis the work effort identified bill impacts above those estimates presented to City Council and the public at the first community meeting. Based on direction from City staff and consistent with City Council comments at the December 5th , 2023 City Council meeting, the financial plan was adjusted to reduce the additional bill impacts to maintain consistency with what had been presented to City Council for the standard residential three (3) cart service. The key adjustments made to the financial plan to accomplish this goal included: i) extending out in future fiscal years some of the capital spending for facilities; ii) reducing discretionary future operating expense escalations; and iii) targeting compliance with the City’s current Reserve policy target over a longer period of time. Even though three key adjustments as stated above were made to the financial plan, the core objective of the plan to provide additional resources for fleet replacement and renew key facilities is still achieved.
1.3. Proposed ER Fund Financial Plan
Raftelis conducted a status quo scenario analysis to evaluate whether existing ER Fund rates and fees could adequately fund the City’s solid waste operations over the ten-year forecast period (Rate Study Period). This analysis projected annual revenues, operation and maintenance expenses, debt service payments, capital expenditures, and Reserve requirements through the Fiscal Year 2032. Based on the key assumptions of the analysis, Raftelis determined that the existing rates for solid waste services will not be adequate to generate sufficient revenues to maintain operation levels and fund the projected needs of ER Fund Services.
After the status quo analysis was complete, Raftelis prepared different Revenue Adjustment scenarios, which were presented to the City Council. The City Council selected scenario 3, which fully funds the projected revenue requirements with greater near-term rate adjustments, but lower overall increases over the five year rate adjustment period relative to Scenario 4, which represented the phase-in option with the same funding requirements.
Table 1 shows the proposed Revenue Adjustments based on the financial plan selected by the City Council, for the initial five years of the Rate Study Period. To ensure that the residential 3 cart bill impacts were generally consistent with what had been presented to City Council on December 5th, 2023, and consistent with Council’s comments and decisions, the overall Revenue Adjustment were lowered. Implementation for the proposed rate adjustments were assumed at the outset of each fiscal year, starting on July 1, 2024. It is recommended that the need for any future identified Revenue Adjustment be reviewed in the Fiscal Year 2028 or earlier in the event of a significant change in conditions during the recommendation period which would necessitate a change in rate revenues (i.e., changes in customer demands, regulations, cost of contracted disposal, etc.). 952
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 10 Table 1: Proposed ER Fund Rate Revenue and Associated Fee Adjustments Effective Date Preliminary Plan
(Scenario 3)
Adjusted &
Recommended Plan
July 1, 2024 50.00% 33.00%
July 1, 2025 8.00% 10.00%
July 1, 2026 5.50% 5.25%
July 1, 2027 5.00% 3.00%
July 1, 2028 3.00% 2.84%
Key factors influencing the need for proposed revenue adjustments include:
● City Council last approved a cost-of-service analysis in May 2012, resulting in rate adjustments effective January 2013. The authorized rate adjustments to the City’s ER Fund rates represent a cumulative
2.1% increase to residential rates and a 2.7% increase to commercial rates since 2012. In contrast, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased 33.9% over the same period since 2013 through 2023. ● The City is subject to current and future unfunded local, state, and federal mandates regarding solid waste handling, including several recycling and composting laws that are already in effect and had major financial and operational impacts on the System and the ER Fund. For additional information reference section 3.2.
● As shown in Figure 1, the status quo scenario analysis indicates an initial funding deficiency within the initial Fiscal Year 2025 that accounts for approximately 2/3 of the overall need to increase rate revenues through the Fiscal Year 2029.
● Planned implementation of an Infrastructure Use Fee, which will amount to approximately $2 million annually and may begin in Fiscal Year 2025.
Addressing the funding deficiency and inflation will provide adequate funding for operations, capital funding, and support deposits to Reserves by the end of the initial five years of the Rate Study Period to help maintain compliance minimum Reserve targets.

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 11 Figure 1 provides a breakdown of the projected revenue requirements of the System. As can be seen from the gap analysis, the ER Fund’s current period expenditures (stacked bar) exceeds existing revenues (solid green line), which only grows over time due to elevated inflation in the cost of operations, additional expenses to address unfunded State mandates, need for significant capital investments, and replacement of aging capital.
Figure 1: Proposed ER Fund Financial Plan
Figure 2 shows projected operating and capital ending balances over the initial five year of the Rate Study Period relative to the City’s total Reserve targets under the proposed financial plan selected by Council.
Assuming implementation of the recommended rate adjustments, the City is projected to achieve 50% of the targeted minimum Reserve target and is projected to rebuild towards the Council policy such Reserves in the final year of the Rate Study Period.
Figure 2: Proposed ER Fund Financial Plan: Cash Reserves 954
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 12 Figure 3 shows the proposed capital financing plan over the initial five years of the Rate Study Period. The Study assumes that capital is funded primarily through short term capital leases and debt. The capital improvement plan is composed of facility investments, followed by fleet-related expenses and equipment purchases.
Figure 3: ER Fund Capital Financing Plan
1.4. Proposed ER Fund Rates and Fees
The proposed five-year ER Fund rate schedule was developed based on the cost-of-service allocation and rate structure as discussed in greater detail in Section 5. The proposed rate and fee structure revises the current rate structure and incorporates new service level offerings including:
1. Combining single family and multifamily 3-cart curbside service into a single class of service recognizing that the service is the same for both classes. The City offers two (2) refuse service levels at 64 gallon and 96 gallon to meet the needs of smaller and larger household sizes;
2. Creation of a mobile home class of service and rate for 3-cart service that mirrors the standard residential 3-cart rate structure which has been reduced by approximately 8% to reflect the exclusion of IUF payments; which is not applicable to mobile home parks;
3. Addition of new commercial bin / container size service offerings of 1 cubic yard through 4 cubic yard organic bin collection and disposal service;
4. Separation of the commercial rate structure for recycling and green waste. While the City has very few commercial green waste bin service customers, the collection costs for recycling and green waste are equivalent, however, due to differences in the disposal costs separation of the rate structure for these services is warranted;
955
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 13
5. Simplifying the commercial and industrial rate structure for roll-off service, by charging a single “pull rate” for all customers regardless of bin size. In conjunction with this rate structure change an additional bin rental fee is recommended and this fee will vary based on the size and cost of the bin.
Disposal costs will continue to be based on actual weight of material disposed of at the applicable tip fees proposed in the revised rate structure. This rate structure would also apply to and replace the City’s current commercial bin rental service fee structure for roll-off service where bins exceed 4 cubic yards; and
6. Addition of new tip fees at the Del Norte facility for single stream recyclables and organics. The recycling tip fee is only applicable to customers who do not currently pay a monthly collection rate for collection service within the City.

2. Methodology
The foundation of this Study and the primary objective of the ER Fund rates and fees are to reasonably recover the cost of providing service including the cost of infrastructure, equipment investment, and compliance with recommended fiscal targets, which is referred to as a 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(s) from unanticipated or sudden events to financial operations (e.g., changes in market conditions affecting operations and recovered materials revenues, reduced growth or tonnages, 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.
In order to assess the sustainability of the City’s rates for service, Raftelis developed a financial model capable of forecasting ER Fund operations over a ten-year Rate Study Period, which is necessary to assess the sustainability needs of the ER Fund for the proposed rate revenue and associated fee adjustment period for Fiscal Years 2025 through 2029. By forecasting operations over the ten-year Rate Study Period, the Study is able to capture non-annually recurring lifecycle costs such as vehicle and capital asset replacement, test sensitivity to potential changes in operations or costs, and examine projections of Reserves and net revenue margins to evaluate compliance with fiscal policies. Performing a thorough evaluation of the City’s funding requirements provides the ability to offer sound rate recommendations to help ensure the City has sufficient resources to fund operations and achieve their objectives.

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 27 The following provides a brief overview of the key activities performed for the 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 ER Fund’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 support of City staff, developed a projection of the System’s “net revenue requirements” which is comprised of the components summarized below. The first five components are expenditure requirements of the system and are funded from monthly user rates + Cost of Operation and Maintenance
+ Debt Service (Vehicle Leases & Facility Debt)
+ Indirect Cost Allocation and Administration Payments (Infrastructure Use Fees) + 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)
3. The net revenue requirements were then allocated by function and service to the various customer and service classes as later described in Section 5. The customer billing statistical data was then adjusted to represent a common unit of measure referred herein and throughout the report as the Equivalent Billing Unit (EBU). The collection system EBUs are denominated in the number of gallons of capacity per the customer’s cart or bin size times the annual number of pickups. The disposal system EBUs are denominated in the tonnage for the system. The allocated net revenue requirements were then divided by the EBUs to calculate the unit cost of collection and disposal services.
4. To determine the recommended rate, the calculated unit costs are factored based on the type and level of service. For example, to determine the residential monthly 3 cart service rates for 96 gallon service, the calculated unit costs for refuse / municipal solid waste collection, recycling, and organics were applied to the level of service parameters of once a week collection times the average number of weeks in a month times the number of gallons in the bin (i.e., unit cost x weekly collection frequency x average number of weeks in a month x the quantity of gallons of the cart).

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 28
3. Key Inputs and Assumptions
Raftelis developed an ER Fund financial projection and rate calculation for a ten year period, which serves as the basis for the Rate Study Period as previously described. The City’s fiscal year spans from July 1 through June 30. Projections in future years were generally based on the budgeted Fiscal Year 2024 data using key assumptions outlined within Section 3 of this report. Assumptions generally include, but are not limited to, projections of growth and tonnage demands, expenditures as contained in the City’s budget, assumed changes in operations such as the addition of staffing, capital funding requirements, or other expectations of future cashflow projections. All assumptions were discussed with and reviewed by City staff. This section will detail all the key assumptions developed in support of the financial plan.
3.1. Key Inputs: Current Rates and Operations
The current ER Fund rates and fees for service were adopted pursuant to Ordinance No. 2861, which included a two-year schedule of rates with the current rates effective as of October 18, 2012, and January 1, 2013. City Council last approved a cost-of-service analysis in May 2012, resulting in rate adjustments effective January 2013. The authorized rate adjustments to the City’s ER Fund rates represent a cumulative 2.1% increase to residential rates and a 2.7% increase to commercial rates. In contrast, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased 33.9% over the same period.
As it relates to residential solid waste collection service, the City provides residents with weekly collection service utilizing a three-bin (or three-stream) system for their combined garbage, recycling, and organic waste.
The monthly rate for residents includes one (1) cart for each of their household waste (garbage, recycling, and organic waste). Any additional carts are available for an additional fee. Table 17 shows the current adopted residential rates and fee schedule for single family residential service developed during the prior rate study.
Table 17: Current Residential Single Family ER Fund Rate Structure Residential Collection Rates and Fees Current
Initial 96-Gallon Cart Rate(1) $30.78
Initial 64-Gallon Cart Rate(1) $24.70
Extra Container Rate per Month $11.36
Extra Pickup Fee $11.74
Bulky Pickup Fee (up to 5 items)(2) $35.00
__________
(1) Charge for service includes garbage, recycling, organics collection every week.
(2) Up to 5 items are included in the fee, however the City will collect up to 10 items for an additional charge. City staff recommends bin rental service for more than 10 items.

3.2. Key Assumptions: Regulations
The following section provides a summary overview of the legal and regulatory environment for solid waste management in the City. The summary is based on review of relevant State laws and regulations. This review should not be considered exhaustive and therefore should not be relied upon for any other purpose than the purposes of this Study to help provide relevant context concerning the level of service and operational requirements of the System. This section is not intended to represent or provide any legal opinions or interpretations on State law.
● 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. ● 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.
● 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.
● 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.
● Applicable California Air Resources Board (CARB) Regulations3 : The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF)
regulation is part of CARB’s overall approach to accelerate a large-scale transition to zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. These requirements are pursuant to the Governor’s executive order N-79-20.
o Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation applies to local government fleets with common ownership of more than 50 vehicles, which is applicable to the City of Oxnard. The regulation requires State and local government fleets, including city, county, special district, and State agency fleets, to ensure specified percentages of vehicle purchases and/or fleet totals are zero-emission beginning as early as 2024, or otherwise face penalties.
3.3. Key Assumptions: Customer Statistics
3.3.1. Customer Accounts
The forecast of solid waste service revenues relied upon a review of recent historical trends in solid waste customer account growth and tonnage statistics. Based on the California Department of Finance (DOF) population projections, no growth to either residential or commercial service was assumed for the forecast.
The following tables provide a summary of the solid waste customer billing statistics:

3.3.2. Waste Generation
With respect to waste generation, the City currently collects approximately 317,100 tons of waste per year. The majority of tonnages can be attributed to the commercial and industrial customer classes. The City is responsible in working to achieve the required solid waste diversion goals set by the State of California, including compliance with organics diversion requirements from S.B. 1383 and A.B. 1826. The table shown below summarizes the City’s tonnage reports by type of waste.

3.4. Key Assumptions: Revenues
The projected revenues for the System are based on the assumed customer demands of the System as applied to the current rates and fees. Approximately 90% of ER Fund Service revenues are derived from Rate Revenue.
To validate the customer billing statistics relied upon in the calculation of the rates and fess of the System, Raftelis compared the product of the customer billing statistics and current rates to the audited and unaudited revenues of the System. Based on a comparison of the City’s calculated revenues (i.e., revenue calculated based on the product of customer billing statistics to rates and fees) to reported revenues revealed the amounts were within an approximate 1% variance and therefore no adjustments were reflected to the rate revenues in determination of the revenue sufficiency of the existing rates for service.
The rate revenue projections shown below assume that the current Fiscal Year 2024 rates as presented in section
3.1 are effective throughout the Rate Study Period and, therefore, represent estimated revenues in the absence of any rate increase. Table 30 through 35 presents the revenues under the current rates for ER Fund Services. 981

3.4.1. Other Revenues
Other ER Fund Service revenues include miscellaneous revenues, MRF recycle material sales, and investment income. The revenue from MRF recycle material sales is held constant throughout the forecast. Investment income was calculated by taking 1.25% of the average of the beginning and ending cash balances. As mentioned previously these other revenues equate to approximately 10% of gross revenues throughout the Rate Study Period.

3.5. Expenditures
The expenditures during the Rate Study Period are primarily comprised of (1) operation and maintenance (operating) expenses; and (2) capital outlays.
3.5.1. Assumptions: Operating Expenses
The forecast of operating expenses was developed based upon: i) a review of the recent trends in historical expenses; ii) the Fiscal Year 2024 budget, iii) assumed growth rates and escalation factors to account for inflation in the costs of operation; and iv) discussions with the City staff. Figure 4 shown below presents an overview of the operating expense projections by cost center. (Remainder of page intentionally left blank)

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 45 Figure 4: Operating Expense Forecast by Budgetary Cost Center The ER Waste Transfer Haul cost center is the largest cost center for the System and is primarily comprised of disposal, supplementary waste hauling contracts, and personnel costs. Table 37 shown below presents a forecast of the operating expenses for the System by major category of expense. Overall, the single greatest expense is personnel, which has a growth rate of 2.9% per year. The assumed reduction in contractual operations during the Fiscal Year 2026 is related to the elimination of contracted waste hauling service due to the planned addition of two new collection routes. The forecast assumes incremental operating costs to account for the additional labor, fuel, maintenance, and vehicle purchases.

The disposal fees are calculated for the System through the waste tonnage reports 988
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 46 and tipping fees charged by Simi Landfill. Tipping fees increased by 5.06% from Fiscal Year 2022 and Fiscal Year 2023, and it is assumed that these tipping fees will increase by a more modest 3% rate throughout the Rate Study Period. Table 38 details the calculation of the disposal costs for the Rate Study Period.

The balance of operating expenses is for maintenance, repayment of indirect services, and other expenses.
As shown in Table 37, pursuant to the discussions with City staff, an annual transfer of approximately $2 million to the General Fund is assumed to reinstate the Infrastructure Use Fees (IUF) beginning midyear in the Fiscal Year 2025.
In aggregate, the total operating expenses for Solid Waste Services are estimated to increase by 4.2% annually.
For additional details concerning the projection of operating expenses please reference Appendix B at the end of this Study.
3.5.2. Assumptions: Escalation Factors
The operating expenses as presented in section 3.5.1 relied upon the application of inflation factors to the Fiscal Year 2024 operating expense budget and are presented in the following table. To ensure that future costs are reasonably projected, Raftelis worked with City staff to confirm the inflation escalation assumptions below.

3.5.3. Assumptions: Capital Expenditures
The City has developed a comprehensive Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) over the course of the Rate Study Period. Over the next five (5) years (Fiscal Year 2024 – Fiscal Year 2029) the City has allocated $65.2 million into capital funding. The following table presents a summary of the planned annual capital spending over the Rate Study Period, which is expected to average approximately $10.9 million annually. The capital needs are primarily related to the need to replace the materials recovery facility (MRF) and MRF equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Overall, the replacement facilities and facility improvements including equipment accounts for 72% of total capital expenditures between Fiscal Year 2024 – Fiscal Year 2029.
Fleet comprises the remaining 28% of the total CIP expenditure, and the City has planned to purchase additional vehicles to address planned level of service needs. Raftelis worked with City staff to develop a fleet replacement plan generally assuming 8- year service life for residential automatic side loaders, commercial front loaders, commercial roll-offs, commercial transfer trucks, and commercial rear end loaders. Based on discussions with City staff, to meet service demands placed upon the City (explained in Section 3.2), level of service goals, additional fleet vehicles and routes were assumed by the Fiscal Year 2026.
The Solid Waste Services vehicle fleet is subject to the new Advanced Clean Fleets regulations. The Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation is part of CARB’s overall approach to accelerate a large-scale transition to zeroemission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. These requirements are pursuant to the Governor’s executive order N-79-20. This applies to local government fleets with common ownership of more than 50 vehicles and requires State and local government fleets, including city, county, special district, and State agency fleets, are required to ensure 50 percent of vehicle purchases are zero-emission beginning in 2025 and 100 percent of vehicle purchases are zero-emission by 2027. It should be noted that due to the planned timing of vehicle additions in the Rate Study Period, the City will not be required to purchase electric vehicles until Fiscal Year 2029. The City is also planning to use the ZEV Milestone Option for regulatory compliance which allows for the phased purchase of zero emission vehicles as presented below.

3.5.4. Existing and Proposed Debt Service
The solid waste fund currently pays capital leases from 2018 and 2021. This expense is currently about $2 million per year and is anticipated to decrease to about $1,990,394 in Fiscal Year 2028 and then $0 per year by the end of the Rate Study Period. The Study assumes additional debt funding to finance the capital improvement plan. Debt funding is assumed for the MRF replacement facility and the replacement equipment.
Capital leases are assumed for new vehicles in the forecast.

3.5.5. Minimum Cash Reserve Targets
Industry best practices recognize the need and benefit of maintaining minimum Reserves to provide necessary liquidity to fund day to day operations, provide resources to appropriate funds for expected capital outlays, and provide a reasonable allowance for unexpected needs. Pursuant to discussions with City staff the Study assumed the City’s currently adopted Reserve policy pursuant to Resolution No.#15718:
⎯ Operating Fund Reserve Target: the City Council will endeavor to maintain operating reserves equal to 25% of the operating budget reserve. This would be equivalent to 90 days of operating expenses, which was assumed to provide adequate liquidity for day-to-day operations and provide a reasonable allowance for unexpected costs.
Table 44 presents the forecast of minimum Reserve targets assumed for the Study.

City Council was informed of this and agreed when making its recommendation at the December 5, 2023 meeting.

4. Solid Waste Financial Plan
This section combines the assumptions previously discussed in the Study to determine the overall revenue adjustments and total amount of revenue required from rates. 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 as a whole; rate changes for individual customers will depend on the cost-ofservice analysis described in the following chapter.
Financial plan assumptions previously discussed in Section 3 were reviewed in detail by City staff. To develop the financial plan, Raftelis projected annual expenses and revenues, modeled Reserves, and planned capital expenditures. The City is anticipating financing the capital improvements through capital leases and debt. It is important to note that the most recently audited financial statements reported a $4 million net revenue loss for Fiscal Year 2022, and that the Fiscal Year 2024 adopted budget assumed net revenue losses. Due to the deficit in the ER Fund and need for significant rate increases, the Study contemplated four scenarios and two sensitivities ranging in capital expenditures and revenue adjustments. Per direction from City Council on December 5th, 2023, the Department was to further explore “Scenario 3 Rate Adjustments with Full Capital Expenditures” as detailed in the following section.
4.1. Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures
This scenario assumes all funding requirements including operating, capital, and proposed capital lease and debt payments. The key assumptions include:
● Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Served as the baseline for the Rate Study Period as adjusted for actual operating results and known cost increases;
o The operating expense growth is estimated at 4.2% per year; ● Assumes some additional collection routes to maintain regulatory compliance with AB1826, AB827, SB1383 and regular service demands;
● Assumes Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) repayments from the City to ER ends in Fiscal Year 2024; ● Assumes resumption of IUF payments in Fiscal Year 2025 to the City; ● $40.7M reinvestment to MRF including new equipment and roof Fiscal Year 2026 - Fiscal Year 2028 ● Replacement of vehicles at end of life in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 ● Compliance with CARB Zero Emissions Vehicle Requirements ● Primarily relies on use of capital leases and debt to fully fund capital expenditures The following chart presents a forecast of the funding requirements assuming additional revenue adjustments.
The debt assumptions observed to fully fund the CIP assume: i) $43.9 million in 20-year loans at 5.1% interest for the facility capital improvements; and ii) approximately $18.5 million in capital leases through the Fiscal Year 2029 with a 7-year repayment at 3.3% interest. Total debt and capital lease payments are expected to increase from approximately $2 million a year to $8.5 million a year at its highest level by the Fiscal Year 2028.
994
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 52 Figure 5: Proposed Solid Waste Financial Plan
Table 45 shows proposed Revenue Adjustments for the Rate Study Period and highlights the five-year study recommendation period. Implementation for the proposed rate adjustments were assumed at the outset of each fiscal year beginning on July 1, 2024. As previously discussed, the Revenue Adjustments were reduced from the initial plan presented to City council on December 5th, 2023 to limit the bill impacts to customers associated with additional changes due to the cost of service allocation. Several Revenue Adjustment scenarios were presented to Council at the meeting and Council supported Scenario 3. Scenario 3 can be described as fully funding the projected revenue requirements with greater near-term rate adjustments, but lower overall increases over the five years relative to Scenario 4 which represented the phase-in option with the same funding requirements. It is recommended that the need for any future identified Revenue Adjustment be reviewed in the Fiscal Year 2028 or earlier in the event of a significant change in conditions during the recommendation period which would necessitate a change in rate revenues (i.e., changes in customer demands, regulations, cost of contracted disposal, etc.).

The table below shows the proposed capital financing plan over the Rate Study Period. The Study assumes that capital is funded by Reserves, existing debt proceeds, proposed capital leases, and future proposed debt 995
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 53 issuances. It is important to note that this proposed scenario assumes allowances for capital needs for going concern of operations (including a new MRF) and addresses the level needs associated with additional routes.
Figure 6: Solid Waste Capital Financing Plan
The Figure below shows projected operating ending balances over the Rate Study Period relative to the City’s total Reserve targets under the proposed financial plan. Based on the increases in budgeted operating expenses, capital, and existing revenues the operating fund has been depleted with minimal rate adjustments over a decade. Assuming implementation of the recommended rate revenue and fee adjustments, the City is projected to achieve 50% of the targeted minimum Reserve target and is projected to rebuild such Reserves in the final year of the Rate Study Period.

5. Solid Waste Cost-of-Service
Analysis
As previously described, the process of determining the cost-of-service begins with the allocation of revenue requirements and income and funds from other sources among the various services and customer classes. The main difference in costs among the customer classes relate to the frequency of collection, container size, waste generation, and services provided (i.e., residential customers receive collection services weekly for all three material streams). Additionally, the City relies on different fleet configurations to provide service for the various customer classes including the residential, commercial and industrial service classes. After costs are allocated by customer class, the equivalent units are then calculated based on the product of the container size and collection frequency, among other considerations, to calculate an equivalent unit cost. The equivalent unit costs are then used to calculate the rates for service based on the size and frequency of collection. In development of the proposed rates, the cost-of-service presents the final year of the cost allocation as Fiscal Year 2029. The rate schedules developed for the Fiscal Year 2025 through the Fiscal Year 2029 are based on the cost allocation and the Revenue Adjustment previously discussed throughout this Study. This section presents the details of the cost-of-service analysis conducted for the City’s solid waste services to customers.
5.1. Allocations of Net Revenue Requirement
Net revenue requirements are defined as the net costs to be recovered from the proposed rates or fees for service. They are calculated by taking the gross revenue requirements comprising the operating expenses, debt service, and other costs, less income and funds from other sources resulting in the net revenue requirements.
A cost-of-service analysis distributes a utility’s net revenue requirement (net costs) based on service to each customer class. Pursuant to the City’s budget, operating costs are functionalized by cost center and function.
Table 46 provides an overview of the operating budget cost center functions. These costs were then allocated to the customer classes based on several factors such as tonnages, Equivalent billing units (EBU) primarily determined by the service frequency times the number and size of containers, number of containers, capital costs of vehicles by service type and other factors as presented in Table 51. Appendix E provides details concerning the assumptions in development of the allocation factors and Appendix B provides details concerning the line item allocation of costs.
(Remainder of page intentionally left blank)
997
City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 55 The cost allocation factors were developed after review of the City’s operating budgets and interviews with City staff. The factors were based on our understanding of the nature of the costs in order to assign reasonable appropriate cost allocation factors. Table 46 below provides a summary of the description and function of the City’s current operating budget cost centers which account for the majority of the allocated costs.

ER Waste Transfer Haul All materials for disposal are processed through this cost center, with exception to the green waste disposal costs which are separately accounted for within the ER MRF cost center. The primary cost accounted for in this cost center are the landfill disposal costs.
In addition to the operating expenses, the City’s rates also recover the cost of debt service repayments which can be categorized into either capital lease payments for purchase of vehicles and facility debt service payments issued to fund major facilities such as the Del Norte facility.
The City charges a variety of service fees, receives revenues from the sale of recoverable materials, and generates income from late payment fees and investment on Reserves. Together this income helps offset the cost recovered from rates, which is also referred to as the net revenue requirements as previously discussed. (Remainder of page intentionally left blank)

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 57 Shown in Table 47 are the facility debt service allocator and capital lease payment allocator. These two respective allocation factors were based on the existing and proposed debt proceed uses. With respect to the facility debt allocator, the majority of the debt is issued for the Del Norte MRF and was allocated to the recycling function. With respect to the capital lease payments, such costs were allocated based on the cost of the fleet assignable to the various services and functions by cost category and customer class. The allocation factors were then applied to the projected revenue requirements of the Division including a detailed allocation of the operating expenses by cost center and object code line item. Table 48 presents a summary of this allocation, which is presented in greater detail within Appendix C. (Remainder of page intentionally left blank)

5.2. Calculated Equivalent Billing Units (EBUs)
Equivalent billing units (EBU) are necessary to calculate the unit cost for the purpose of calculating the proposed rates. EBUs are developed by customer class and are generally calculated by taking the customer's container volume times the frequency of collection. Special adjustments are made for specific rates where service levels are not equivalent such as for additional carts, weekend service, and compactor service.
Table 52 provides a detailed accounting of the EBUs.

5.3. Rate Design
This section on the rate design will present how we calculate the cost of service rates for the Fiscal Years 2025- 2029. The methodology starts with the cost of service for the Fiscal Year 2029, then the Revenue Adjustment are applied to determine the prior fiscal year rates and develop the rate schedule. Table 52 presents a recap of the calculated unit cost per EBU for the residential and commercial class as was represented earlier in Table 49. (Remainder of page intentionally left blank)

_______
1 The City doesn’t process significant quantities of C&D and therefore an alternative methodology based on the average cost per ton of the ER tipping Floor and waste haul transfer plus the direct cost of disposal at the City’s disposal site was developed.
The unit costs calculated in Table 53 are factored based on the various rates proposed within this study based on the associated type of service and level of service. Example calculations of the rate design methodology in support of the proposed rates is included in Appendix D.

1 Represents the tip fee for walking floor trailers direct hauled to the Simi Landfill. This rate is not applicable to refuse delivered to the Del Norte facility.
2 The City charges a security and contamination prevention fee to all customers per bin per month. In most cases the fee is included in the collection rate for service, however for industrial customers the collection rate is per pull and in some cases the customer may own the bin.
Therefore the rates shown are applied in instances where the industrial customer does not rent a bin from the City. 1018

HOW PROPOSED SOLID WASTE RATES WERE CALCULATED
The City of Oxnard is proposing to increase the rates for its solid waste service charges based on its most recent rate model and cost of service (COS) study conducted by an independent rates consultant. The City hired Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc., a consulting firm with expertise in solid waste cost of service rate studies to evaluate the City’s costs of providing solid waste services and to proportionally allocate those costs to customer classes (residential, commercial, etc.). The rate study consists of a series of steps involving data evaluation, technical analyses, deriving customer rates, and understanding rate adjustment impacts on customers.
The financial analyses and rate model are documented in the Cost of Service Study Report to serve as part of the City’s administrative record with supporting data of how the proposed rates were developed. The proposed increases to the current rates over the next five years are listed in the tables contained in this Notice.
CÓMO SE CALCULARON LAS TASAS DE RESIDUOS SÓLIDOS
La Ciudad de Oxnard propone aumentar las tarifas de sus servicios de recolección de residuos basándose en sus modelo tarifarios más recientes y en un estudio del costo del servicio (COS, por sus siglas en inglés) realizado por un consultor de tarifas independiente. La Ciudad contrató a Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. una empresa consultora con experiencia en estudios de tarifas de costos de servicios de residuos sólidos para evaluar los costos de la prestación de servicios de recolección de residuos por parte de la Ciudad y asignar proporcionalmente dichos costos a los tipos de clientes (residenciales, comerciales, etc.). El estudio de tarifas consta de una serie de pasos que incluyen la evaluación de datos, análisis técnicos, derivación de tarifas a clientes y comprensión de las repercusiones de los ajustes de tarifas en los clientes.
Los análisis financieros y los modelo tarifarios se documentan en el Informe del Estudio del Costo del Servicio, que forma parte del expediente administrativo de la Ciudad para justificar las tarifas propuestas. Los aumentos propuestos para las tarifas actuales durante los próximos cinco años se enumeran en las tablas presentes en este Aviso. ¿POR QUÉ RECIBO ESTE AVISO?
La Ciudad envió por correo este Aviso a todos los propietarios registrados y clientes de residuos sólidos de conformidad con el Artículo XIII-D, Sección 6 de la Constitución de California (“Proposición 218”). La presente sirve como aviso de que el Concejo de la Ciudad de Oxnard llevará a cabo una Audiencia Pública en la hora, fecha y lugar mencionados en este Aviso para considerar los aumentos recomendados a las tarifas, tasas y cargos por residuos sólidos de la Ciudad.
En la Audiencia Pública, el Concejo de la Ciudad escuchará y considerará los aportes del público con respecto a los ajustes de tarifas propuestos y determinará si adopta las tarifas propuestas. El Consejo de la Ciudad no puede aumentar las tarifas más allá de las cantidades indicadas en este Aviso. Si se adoptan, los ajustes propuestos de las tarifas de residuos sólidos entrarían en vigor el 1 de julio de 2024, con ajustes anuales de las tarifas que entrarían en vigor el 1 de julio de cada año hasta 2028.
WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS NOTICE?
The City mailed this Notice to all property owners of record and solid waste customers in accordance with Article XIII-D, Section 6 of the California Constitution (“Proposition 218”). This serves as notice that the Oxnard City Council will conduct a Public Hearing at the time, date, and location identified in this Notice to consider recommended increases to the City’s solid waste rates, fees, and charges.
At the Public Hearing, the City Council will hear and consider public input regarding the proposed rate adjustments and determine whether to adopt the proposed rates. The City Council cannot increase rates beyond the amounts listed in this Notice. If adopted, proposed solid waste rate adjustments would become effective on July 1, 2024, with annual rate adjustments effective on July 1 of each year through 2028.

3 ACERCA DE LOS SERVICIOS MUNICIPALES DE RECOLECCIÓN
DE RESIDUOS SÓLIDOS
La División de Recursos Ambientales (ER, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Obras Públicas de la Ciudad es una operación de fondos empresariales para brindar servicios de desechos sólidos a los residentes y comercios de Oxnard, que incluye la recolección, clasificación, procesamiento y eliminación para aproximadamente 34,480 clientes residenciales y 5.082 clientes comerciales y edificios de apartamentos seis días a la semana.
Un servicio de residuos sólidos fiable y eficiente es un componente clave para la salud pública, la seguridad y el bienestar de la comunidad. Los servicios incluyen la recolección, clasificación, transporte y traslado del material al vertedero.
Para brindar nuestros servicios cumpliendo con todos los requisitos locales, estatales y federales, ER:
• Recicla aproximadamente 24.900 toneladas de material y 22.000 toneladas de orgánicos (residuos verdes y residuos de alimentos)
• Anualmente maneja aproximadamente 317.100 toneladas (634.200.000 libras) de residuos sólidos
• Ha invertido aproximadamente 60 millones de dólares en equipamiento, instalaciones y terrenos, incluyendo la Estación Regional de Reciclaje y Transferencia Del Norte y aproximadamente 138 vehículos (109 camiones de gran tonelaje y 29 vehículos pequeños)
• Emplea a 179 trabajadores esenciales cumpliendo 529.443 horas al año.
ABOUT THE CITY’S SOLID WASTE SERVICES
The City’s Public Works Department Environmental Resources Division (ER) is an enterprise fund operation to provide solid waste services to Oxnard residents and businesses, which includes collection, sorting, processing, and disposal for approximately 34,480 residential customers and 5,082 commercial customers and apartment buildings six days a week.
Reliable and efficient solid waste service is a key component for the public health, safety, and welfare of the community. Services include collection, sorting, transportation, and transferring material to the landfill.
Additionally, to provide our services while meeting all Local, State, and Federal requirements, ER:
• Recycles approximately 24,900 tons of material and 22,000 tons of organics (green waste and food waste)
• Annually handles approximately 317,100 tons (634,200,000 lbs) of solid waste
• 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)
• Employs 179 essential workers fulfilling 529,443 hours per year ¿QUÉ PASA SI NO SUBIMOS LAS TASAS?
Si no se aumentan las tarifas, el servicio a los clientes puede verse afectado y la salud pública y ambiental podrían verse afectadas. Las tarifas actuales no son suficientes para mantener las operaciones diarias y los servicios de desechos de residuos. El aplazamiento hasta más adelante se traducirá en mayores costos y posiblemente en un aumento de la supervisión reglamentaria y de las multas significativas por parte de los organismos estatales. Nos veríamos obligados a aplazar la adquisición de equipos y los proyectos de infraestructura que dejarían vulnerables nuestras operaciones y sistema actuales de muchas maneras, algunas de las cuales se enumeran a continuación:
• Reducción de la frecuencia de recolección de residuos sólidos, materiales reciclables, orgánicos y residuos verdes.
• La menor frecuencia de recogida puede provocar problemas de salud y seguridad, incluyendo enfermedades, olores desagradables y plagas, y puede aumentar los vertidos ilegales.
• El mantenimiento diferido puede provocar averías frecuentes en la flota y ocasionar costos de horas extras e interrupciones del servicio. • El incumplimiento de los requisitos normativos estatales podría dar lugar a la imposición de multas de hasta 10.000 dólares por incidente por parte de Cal Recycle.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO NOT RAISE RATES?
If rates are not raised, the service to customers may be affected and public and environmental health could be impacted. Current rates are not sufficient to sustain daily operations and waste disposal services. Deferring until later will result in higher costs and possibly increased regulatory oversight and significant fines by State agencies. We would be forced to defer the acquisition of equipment and infrastructure projects that would leave our existing operations and system vulnerable in many ways, some of which are listed below:
• Reduction in the pickup frequency of solid waste, recyclables, organics, and green waste.
• Less frequent pickups may lead to health and safety issues including disease, unwelcome odors and pests, and may
increase illegal dumping.
• Deferred maintenance may result in frequent fleet breakdowns and cause increased overtime costs and service disruptions. • Failure to meet State regulatory requirements could result in fines up to $10,000 per incident from Cal Recycle.

4 TARIFAS PROPUESTAS
La Ciudad ofrece a los residentes un servicio de recolección semanal mediante un sistema de tres contenedores para la basura, el reciclaje y los residuos orgánicos. La tarifa mensual para los residentes incluye un carro para cada uno de sus residuos domésticos (basura, reciclaje y residuos orgánicos).
Los carros adicionales están disponibles por una tarifa adicional. Junto con el servicio de recolección residencial, la Ciudad realizará recolección en acera a los clientes no residenciales y comerciales.
PROPOSED RATES
The City provides residents with weekly collection services using a three-bin system for their garbage, recycling, and organic waste. The monthly rate for residents includes one cart for each of their household waste (garbage, recycling, and organic waste). Any additional carts are available for an additional fee. Along with residential collection service, the City provides curbside collection to non-residential and commercial customers.
THE REASON FOR PROPOSED SOLID WASTE RATE INCREASES
The Oxnard City Council will consider rate changes that will affect solid waste service rates, fees, and charges due to inflation and rising costs of operations, maintenance, and environmental and regulatory compliance.
This critical service is funded in large part by the rates customers pay. Per California law, revenues generated from rates and rate increases must only be used to fund the actual costs to operate and maintain the service including the cost of debt to finance capital equipment and maintaining cash and reserves.
The City’s last rate study for solid waste services was conducted in 2012. Over the past 10 years, the residential rate (96-gallons) only increased .63ȼ per month, or 2.1% for residential service. The most popular commercial rate (4-yard/once per week) increased by 2.7% or $6.05. Yet, over the same decade, the consumer price index increased by 33.9%.
The proposed rates are needed to provide adequate funding for operations; capital funding; cost increases for collecting, processing and disposing of solid waste; labor and equipment costs; fuel charges; recyclables collection and processing; public education and implementing State of California mandated solid waste diversion programs; and to maintain compliance with internal minimum cash reserve targets.
The proposed rate increases to the applicable customer classifications include new costs associated with providing commercial organics collection, along with the administration, enforcement, and education of both commercial and residential organics collection programs.
Pursuant to the State’s regulatory requirements to implement Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016), the City must provide organic waste collection. The proposed rates will ensure that the City collects sufficient revenue to maintain reliable service, run solid waste services efficiently and consistently with industry standards, and fulfill state-mandated recycling services.
MOTIVOS DEL AUMENTO PROPUESTO DE LAS TASAS DE RESIDUOS SÓLIDOS El Consejo de la Ciudad de Oxnard estudiará cambios en las tarifas que afectarán a las tarifas, tasas y cargos de los servicios de recolección de residuos sólidos debido a la inflación y al aumento de los costos de funcionamiento, mantenimiento y cumplimiento de la normativa medioambiental.
Este servicio crítico se financia en gran parte con las tarifas que pagan los clientes. Según la legislación de California, los ingresos generados por las tarifas y los aumentos de tarifas sólo deben utilizarse para financiar los costos reales de funcionamiento y mantenimiento del servicio, incluido el costo de la deuda para financiar equipamiento y el mantenimiento de la tesorería y las reservas.
El último estudio de tarifas de la Ciudad para los servicios de residuos sólidos se llevó a cabo en 2012. En los últimos 10 años, la tarifa residencial (96 galones) solo aumentó 0,63 centavos por mes, o un 2,1% para el servicio residencial. La tarifa comercial más popular (4 yardas/una vez por semana) aumentó un 2,7% o 6,05 dólares. Sin embargo, durante la misma década, el índice de precios al consumo aumentó un 33,9%.
Las tarifas propuestas son necesarias para brindar una financiación adecuada para las operaciones; financiación de capital; aumentos de costos para la recolección, procesamiento y eliminación de residuos sólidos; costos de mano de obra y equipos; cargos por combustible; recolección y procesamiento de reciclables; educación pública e implementación de programas de desviación de residuos sólidos obligatorios del Estado de California; y para mantener el cumplimiento de los objetivos internos de reserva mínima de efectivo.
Los aumentos de tarifas propuestos para las clasificaciones de clientes aplicables incluyen nuevo los costos asociados a la recolección de residuos orgánicos comerciales, junto con la administración, aplicación y educación de los programas de recolección de residuos orgánicos tanto comerciales como residenciales.
De conformidad con los requisitos reglamentarios del Estado para implementar el Proyecto de Ley 1383 (Capítulo 395, Estatutos de 2016), la Ciudad debe proveer la recolección de residuos orgánicos. Las tarifas propuestas garantizarán que la Ciudad recaude ingresos suficientes para mantener un servicio confiable, administrar servicios de residuos sólidos de manera eficiente y consistente con los estándares de la industria, y cumplir con los servicios de reciclaje exigidos por el estado.

RECOMMENDATION 2
1050
• At the December 5, 2023, City Council meeting (Meeting), four solid waste rate scenarios were presented for discussion and feedback
• Staff and the City’s solid waste rate consultant (Raftelis) discussed the scenarios and the following topics:
• Rate-setting process
• Legal requirements
• Financial planning
• Solid waste cost of service
• Rate design
BACKGROUND 3
1051
City Council provided their feedback and recommended Scenario 3:
Rate Adjustments and Full Capital Expenditures which:
• Fully funds the projected revenue requirements with greater near-term rate adjustments, but lower overall increases over the five-year rate adjustment period compared to Scenario 4 • Projects all funding requirements including operating, capital, and proposed capital lease and debt payments
DISCUSSION 4
1052
Key assumptions for Scenario 3 include:
I. Fiscal Year 2023/2024 Served as the baseline for the Rate Study Period as adjusted for actual operating results and known cost increases;
1. The operating expense growth is estimated at 4.2% per year; II. Assumes some additional collection routes to maintain regulatory compliance with AB1826, AB827, SB1383, and regular service demands;
III. Assumes Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) repayments from the City to ER ends in Fiscal Year 2024;
IV. Assumes resumption of IUF payments in Fiscal Year 2025 to the City;
DISCUSSION 5
1053
Key assumptions for Scenario 3 (Continued):
V. $40.7M reinvestment into the Material Recycling Facility (MRF) including new equipment and roof in Fiscal Year 2026 to Fiscal Year 2028
VI. Replacement of vehicles at end of life in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 VII. Compliance with CARB Zero Emissions Vehicle Requirements
1. Primarily relies on use of capital leases and debt to fully fund capital expenditures
VIII. Represents necessary rate adjustments to fund a fiscally sustainable operation and maintain regulatory compliance, and; DISCUSSION 6
1054
Key assumptions for Scenario 3 (Continued):
2. Proceed with creating and sending the required Proposition 218 notices to all solid waste customers and property owners
3. Target a rate-setting public hearing and the introduction of a new ordinance containing the proposed solid waste rates at the City Council meeting on March 19, 2024
4. Plan on adopting the Ordinance at the City Council meeting on April 16, 2024

(Due to the release date of the grant (January 19, 2024, this item did not originate in the Committee) Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/F8SdCpg2pk0
BACKGROUND
Many Mansions is a non-profit housing organization that provides affordable housing to households with low-incomes by constructing new or acquiring and rehabilitating existing housing units, in partnership with cities and counties. Since its founding over forty years ago, Many Mansions has amassed a portfolio of over 600 units of affordable housing at twenty properties throughout Ventura County.
One project worth mentioning specifically is Central Terrace, located at 27-17-235 East 6th Street in Downtown Oxnard, just south of the subject project site. Central Terrace includes eighty-six (86) affordable rental units, with thirty-five (35) of the units set-aside for homeless individuals. The project is currently under construction and opening in May 2024.
In December 2022, Many Mansions purchased a .77-acre site located at 536-538 Meta Street, just north of the Central Terrace project, for the development of the Aspire Apartments (Project), a multi-family affordable rental housing project that includes eighty-seven (87) affordable units, plus one (1) two-bedroom unrestricted manager’s unit. The eighty-seven (87) affordable units comprise fifty-six (56) one-bedroom units and thirty-one (31) two-bedroom units, all serving households earning between thirty-percent (30%) and sixty percent (60%) of the area median income. The Aspire Apartments project received approval of a Major Downtown Design Development Review Permit at the Community Development Director Hearing held on June 27, 2022.The mixed-use project will include five stories of residential units above a podium with an elevator, and includes approximately 4,549 square feet of office and commercial space, a 5,185 square foot private courtyard, and a 5,606 square foot public open space (Paseo). 1063
HOME ARP Program Funding
On September 20, 2021, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded the City of Oxnard $2,772,021 in HOME American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding. HOME-ARP is a new funding source from the Federal government for local and state governments to address homelessness and affordable housing needs, streamlined through the HOME (HOME) Investment Partnership program.
From December 2022 through February 2023, Housing Staff completed substantial community outreach to solicit feedback on how best to prioritize the use of the HOME-ARP funding. The overwhelmingly feedback received was to prioritize the creation of new permanent supportive housing. On March 21, 2023, City Council approved the City’s HOME-ARP Allocation Plan, which directed staff to utilize its HOME-ARP program funding to support the creation of new permanent supportive housing (no specific projects included).
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program
Similar to the Central Terrace project, Many Mansions’ financing plan for Aspire Apartments involves submission of an application to the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program (the "AHSC"), which is administered by the California Strategic Growth Council. The AHSC Program funds housing and transportation infrastructure that support infill and compact development that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
AHSC provides grants and/or loans, or any combination thereof, to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions through increasing accessibility of affordable housing, employment centers, and key destinations via low-carbon transportation resulting in fewer vehicle miles traveled through shortened or reduced trip length or mode shift from single occupancy vehicle use to transit, bicycling, or walking.
AHSC can fund up to $35 Million in loan funds for construction of affordable housing developments. The program can also fund up to $15 million in grant funds under the same application for housing related infrastructure, sustainable transportation infrastructure, transit-related amenities and programs.
The City was asked by Many Mansions to participate in their AHSC application for their Aspire Apartments project. If awarded, the City would receive funding to complete City planned projects including sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities and community programs.
The AHSCP Notice of Funding Availability was issued on January 19, 2024 and has a submission deadline of March 19, 2024. This March 19, 2024 deadline is the reason that staff could not take this item to the Council Committee, as well as a separate report on the subject Council agenda titled "Prohousing Designation". As detailed in the "Prohousing Designation" report, On July 1, 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the Prohousing Designation Program (“Program”) to achieve Stae housing goals. This Program enables HCD to designate jurisdictions throughout the state as Prohousing when they demonstrate policies and planning programs that accelerate the production of housing. The benefits to jurisdictions receiving the Prohousing designation include priority processing and being granted additional points when participating in various HCD funded programs. In an effort to assist Many Mansions in obtaining bonus Prohousing points for their Aspire Apartments AHSC application, the Prohousing application must be submitted to HCD prior to the AHSC application. As such there was no time to take either of these items to Council Committee prior to the March 19, 2024 AHSC deadline.
DISCUSSION
Financing Plan, Development Schedule, and Preliminary Funding Award Letter The total development cost for the Aspire Apartments project is estimated at approximately $58 million. While a majority of the funding needed to complete the Project is projected to come from Federal and State resources, there is a gap in the development project. Many Mansion's requested funding from the City of Oxnard to close the funding gap. To address the gap, the Housing Department requests awarding $1,200,000 in HOME-ARP to Many Mansions’ to support Aspire Apartments. Many Mansions is a successful builder and manager of affordable housing throughout Ventura County and has several thriving rental projects, including Central Terrace, along with the capacity to complete this project. 1064
Listed in the table below are the Projects proposed permanent financing sources.
Funding Source Amount
City of Oxnard HOME-ARP Loan (Public - City) $1,200,000 Accrued Deferred Interest – City HOME-ARP Loan (Public - City) $51,076 Permanent Loan (Private) $3,072,000
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Loan (Public - State)
$25,000,000
Developer Equity (Private) $100
Deferred Developer Fee (Private) $4,249,656
Tax Credit Equity (Public - State) $24,215,345
Total Development Cost $57,788,177
If Many Mansions is able to secure all of the private and public funding listed above in their first attempt, then Many Mansions would begin construction in June 2025 and complete construction in December of 2026.
In order to have a competitive AHSC funding application, the developer must demonstrate that the Project is financially feasible and has enforceable funding commitments. In an effort to support Many Mansions AHSC application, the Housing Department requests the issuance of a preliminary funding award letter in support of Aspire Apartments. The preliminary funding award letter commits $1,200,000 in HOME-ARP funding to support the development of Aspire Apartments.
By providing this amount in HOME-ARP, Aspire Apartments must provide five (5) one-bedroom permanent supportive housing units for homeless households with annual incomes at or below thirty-percent (30%) of the area median income.
All five (5) units will carry a twenty-year (20) affordability restriction. In addition to the HOME-ARP affordability restrictions, the Project’s entitlements require all unitsto remain affordable for fifty-five (55) years and serve households with incomes between thirty-percent (30%) and eighty-percent (80%) of the area median income.
The preliminary funding award letter outlines the general terms of the City’s financial assistance, which are summarized below:
1. The principal amount of the loan shall not exceed $1,200,000;
2. The term of the loan shall be for 55 years;
3. Three percent simple interest;
4. Repayment of the City Loan will be based residual receipts with fifty percent of the residual receipts split pro-rata among all soft lenders based on the original principal amount of each soft lender loan; and
5. The Preliminary Award shall expire on December 31, 2025, unless otherwise extended by the Housing Director.
If Many Mansions secures its State and Federal financing, Housing Staff will return to City Council for final approval of the HOME-ARP loan and regulatory agreements.
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Participation 1065
The AHSC Program offers a unique opportunity for not only Many Mansions to receive funding to develop Aspire Apartments, but also to collaborate with the City and Community Partners to improve the built environment and provide critical community programs.
City Staff coordinated with Many Mansions, Gold Coast Transit District and various community partners to identify eligible high impact sustainable transportation improvements, transit related amenities and community serving programs.
Listed in the table below are the eligible projects that have been identified and will be included in Many Mansions’ AHSC Application.

Staff recommends that the City partner with Many Mansions in an effort to receive grant funding to support vital City projects and programs.
1066
Implementation Agreement between Many Mansions and the City To memorialize the partnership, staff recommends the execution of an Implementation Agreement with Many Mansions for the completion of the City-led sustainable transportation infrastructure, transit-related amenities and programs (Items 2,3,4,5, and 10 listed above) that will be included in Many Mansions Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities application. For the non-city projects and programs, Many Mansions will enter into a separate implementation agreement with the responsible entities. For reference, Council authorized a similar agreement and for City projects identified in the AHSC program grant for the Central Terrace project, which is located just south of this project. That staff report, without attachments, is included for reference.
Many Mansions, as the sole applicant, would receive all of the grant funds. The proposed terms of the implementation agreement between the City and Many Mansions are summarized below:
1. If awarded Grant funds, up to $5,233,000 thereof shall be transferred to the City for the purpose of constructing sustainable transportation infrastructure, transit-related amenities improvements and programs;
2. The City would be the lead agency to design and construct the Wooley Road Protected Bike Lane and Resurfacing Project, Downtown Oxnard Sidewalk Repairs, Oxnard Transit Center Improvements, and New Downtown Oxnard Bus Stops and Pedestrian Enhancements.
3. The will also be the lead agency to implement anti-displacement activities, through enhanced outreach in support of the City’s Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Tenant Protection Ordinances.
4. The City will submit to Many Mansions all cost invoices and draw requests for the transit funds that are associated with the proposed improvements;
5. The City will complete the proposed improvements and programs no later than the deadline required under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant documents;
6. Many Mansions must receive final approval from the City of their AHSC application prior to submission;
7. The agreement will terminate upon the earlier of: the completion of all obligations under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities requirements; or (ii) mutual agreement of both the City and Many Mansions; or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default;
8. The agreement will automatically terminate if Many Mansions does not receive an award of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds to construct Aspire Apartments affordable housing development and grant funds for the City to construct sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvements.
If grant funding is awarded in an amount less than requested, or if the final cost for design or construction increases at the time of bid and award, the City will be responsible for funding cost overages. However, if grant funding is awarded in an amount less than requested, the City will also have the discretion to reject the grant funds and its commitment to the sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvement projects.
If the City accepts the grants funds, the City would have until August of 2029 to disburse all funds.
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.
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. 1067
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is $2,772,021 available in the City’s HOME ARP Program funding (Fund 202) to award a gap-financing loan of $1,200,000 to Many Mansions for the development of Aspire Apartments.
There is no immediate financial impact associated with the approval of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Implementation Agreement between the City and Many Mansions. However, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Community Program grant funds are disbursed on a reimbursement basis. If Many Mansions is awarded Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant funds, city staff may need to return to Council to identify the initial funding source and recognize appropriate funds for the City to complete the improvements and programs on a reimbursable basis.

Re: Preliminary Award Letter regarding Financial Assistance by the City of Oxnard Aspire Apartments
Dear Mr. Schroeder:
This Preliminary Award Letter (“Preliminary Award”) sets forth the basic terms under which the City of Oxnard (“City”) is prepared to proceed to enter into an Affordable Housing Loan Agreement and ancillary loan documents for a loan in the amount of One Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) in connection with the development of an approximate .77 acre site located at 536 – 538 Meta Street, Oxnard, CA (“Property”) with 88 units of affordable housing known as Aspire Apartments(“Project”). This Preliminary Award shall expire on December 31, 2025, at which time the terms set forth herein shall be null and void unless otherwise extended in the sole and absolute discretion of the City’s Housing Director.
You have informed the City that Aspire Apartments LP, a California limited partnership in which a wholly-controlled affiliate of Many Mansions, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, (“Many Mansions”) is the general partner, acquired the Property on December 30, 2022, for the development of the Project. In connection with the acquisition of the Property and the construction of the Project, Many Mansions has requested that the City provide the Partnership with a permanent residual receipts loan with the following terms and conditions:
1. The principal amount of the loan shall not exceed $1,200,000.
2. The term of the loan shall be for 55 years.
3. The interest rate shall be 3% simple interest.
4. A Regulatory Agreement and Restrictive Covenant shall be recorded against the Property requiring that five units shall be designated as HOME ARP affordable units and rented to qualified low-income families.
5. The principal and interest shall be repaid from a share of residual receipts shared pro rata with other governmental residual receipt lenders.
6. Borrower shall comply with HOME ARP requirements, including the requirements specified in HOME ARP Notice 21-10.
The Preliminary Award is being provided for the express purpose of satisfying the requirements of the California Housing and Community Development Department’s (“HCD”) AHSC program and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC”) Regulations implementing the Federal and State Low Income Housing Tax Credits. If Many Mansions receives an award of AHSC program funding and low-income housing tax credits (“Tax Credits”), then Many Mansions and the City may negotiate and enter into an Affordable Housing Loan Agreement and ancillary loan documents in implementation of the award of AHSC program funding and Tax Credits. 1069
The Oxnard City Council has reviewed Many Mansions’ request for a permanent loan on March 4, 2024, during a public meeting. The City Council authorized and approved issuance of this Preliminary Award in order to evidence the preliminary award of the permanent loan described herein.
If, however, the City loan is funded with HOME Program funds, by this Preliminary Award, City intends to make a preliminary award to the Developer pursuant to 24 CFR 92.504(c)(3) of the HOME Program, subject and pursuant to all applicable federal state and local laws and regulations.
City has made Many Mansions aware of the 2013 HOME Final Rule, specifically including the amendments to the definition of “commitment” in 24 CFR 92.2 that prohibits the City, as a recipient of HOME Program funds from providing a commitment (as the term is defined therein) of HOME Program funds to any specific local project until “the City and project owner have executed a written legally binding agreement under which HOME assistance will be provided to the owner for an identifiable project for which all necessary financing has been secured, a budget and schedule have been established, and underwriting has been completed and under which construction is scheduled to start within twelve months of the agreement date.” Notwithstanding the definition of “commitment” in 24 CFR 92.2 as amended by the 2013 Home Final Rule, 24 CFR 92.504(c)(3) authorizes the City to “preliminarily award HOME funds for a proposed project, contingent on conditions such as obtaining other financing for the project”; however, this section goes on to clearly confirm that “[t]his preliminary award is not a commitment to a project.
The written agreement committing the HOME funds to the Project must meet the requirements of ‘commitment to a specific local project’ in the definition of ‘commitment’ in §24 CFR 92.2”.
Thus, while as to the City loan (if to be sourced from HOME Program funds), this Preliminary Award is not, and shall not be construed as a “commitment” of HOME Program federal funds as defined under the HOME Program. City intends that this Preliminary Award Letter evidence the City’s preliminary award of the City loan expressly subject to the conditions set forth in this Preliminary Award.
Accordingly, City’s obligation to provide the City loan to Many Mansions for the Project is subject to and conditioned upon Many Mansions obtaining the necessary financing to complete the Project and entering into a binding Affordable Housing Loan Agreement and ancillary documents with the City as set out in this Preliminary Award.
Please feel free to contact the undersigned should you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further.
Sincerely,
John C. Zaragoza,
Mayor

(This item did not originate in the Committee due to a pending Appeal, which has since been withdrawn, at the time this agenda item was scheduled to be published for the May 11, 2021 Community Services, Public Safety, Housing and Development Committee meeting.)
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/22dmJZvDPSc
BACKGROUND
Many Mansions is a non-profit housing organization that works to provide affordable housing to households with verylow and low-incomes by constructing new or acquiring and rehabilitating existing housing units, in partnership with Cities and other local organizations. Since its founding over forty years ago, Many Mansions has acquired and managed over 600 units of affordable housing at twenty properties throughout Ventura County. Many Mansions is also a service provider offering adult, children, and family services.
Many Mansions purchased the approximately half-acre site located at 217- 235 East 6th Street, in downtown Oxnard, in 1078
February 2020. The Central Terrace Apartments development will provide multi-family affordable rental housing units that will include eighty-six (86) affordable one-bedroom units, plus one (1) two-bedroom unrestricted manager’s unit.
Thirty-five (35) One-Bedroom Units will be provided for households at or below thirty-percent of the area median income. These units will be permanent supportive housing units and will be made available to house homeless individuals and families. Twenty (20) Units will be provided at fifty-percent of the area median income, and thirty-one (31) units will be provided for households at or below sixty-percent of the area median income. The current California Department of Housing and Community Development state income limit for a household earning up to thirty percent of the area median income in a one-bedroom unit is up to $27,100; for a household earning up to fifty percent of the area median income in a one-bedroom unit up to $45,200; and for a household earning up to sixty percent of the area median income in a one-bedroom unit is up to $47,430. Additional affordability restrictions on the project are described in the Financing Plan, Development Schedule, and Loan Agreement section of the report.
The project will include four stories of residential units above a podium (concrete first floor) with an elevator, the ground floor will include approximately 2,375 of common space, office space, restrooms, and a kitchenette. Once construction of the development has been completed, Many Mansions will provide life enriching services free of charge on an ongoing basis, on site, for the residents including transportation coordination, case management services, and access to community and government resources.
Many Mansions received approval of a Major Downtown Design Development Review Permit at the Community Development Director Hearing held on April 21, 2021 and is scheduled to go to the Planning Commission on May 20, 2021 for consideration of a Density Bonus Permit in order to receive three development concessions.
In-Lieu Fees
In-Lieu fees are collected by the City from Developers who receive City Council approval to pay fees in-lieu of building the required minimum ten percent of affordable housing units in their projects, as required by the City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance for rental or for-sale products in projects with ten or more units. These In-Lieu fees are used to create affordable housing opportunities in the City by providing loans to developers for the construction of new affordable housing within the City of Oxnard. Many Mansions submitted a funding application to the City to support a financial gap of $1,250,000, with the use of the City’s affordable housing in-lieu fee funds for the construction of the Central Terrace Apartments.
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program
Many Mansions’ financing plan for the Central Terrace Apartments also involves submission of an application to the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, which is administered by the Strategic Growth Council, a body under the California Department of Housing and Community Development. The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program funds land-use, housing, transportation, and land preservation projects to support infill and compact development that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Funding for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program is provided from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, an account established to receive Cap-andTrade auction proceeds. The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program provides grants and/or loans, or any combination thereof, to achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions through increasing accessibility of affordable housing, employment centers, and key destinations via low-carbon transportation resulting in fewer vehicle miles traveled through shortened or reduced trip length or mode shift from single occupancy vehicle use to transit, bicycling, or walking.
The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program can fund up to $20 Million in loan funds for construction of affordable housing developments which can then be leveraged with other funding sources. The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program can also fund up to $10 million in grant funds under the same application for Housing Related Infrastructure, Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure, Transit-Related Amenities, or Program Activities.
As such, the City has also been asked by Many Mansions to assist in their Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program application for their Central Terrace Apartments project so that the City may receive grant 1079
funding to complete City planned sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities related improvements in downtown in areas adjacent to and in close proximity to the project site.
The Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure, Transit-Related Amenities Notice of Funding availability was issued on February 26, 2021 and the deadline to submit the application is on June 8, 2021. This June 8th deadline is also part of the reason that staff could not take this item to the Committee once the Appeal was withdrawn on May 18, 2021.
DISCUSSION
The total cost for construction of the Central Terrace Apartments is $44,821,109. Once the 86-unit project is placed in service, through a separate action, Many Mansions will request thirty-five project-based vouchers from the Oxnard Housing Authority. As part of the project-based voucher proposal, supportive services, as described in this report, will be provided on-site in accordance with the Oxnard Housing Authority’s Administrative Plan.
Financing Plan, Development Schedule, and Loan Agreement An assessment of Many Mansions’ proforma and company background was conducted by the City in which it was determined that the requested $1,250,000 funding equates to less than three percent of the total estimated project costs.
Many Mansions is a successful builder and manager of affordable housing throughout Ventura County and has several thriving rental projects, along with the capacity through their staffing to undertake and complete this project.
Many Mansion’s proposed permanent funding sources for the project are as follows:
City of Oxnard In-Lieu Fee Loan (City Funding): $1,250,000 MUFG Union Bank, N.A (Private Funding): $6,835,000
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Loan (State Funding) : $15,219,821 Federal Home Land Bank Of San Francisco (FHLBSF) AHP (Federal Funding): $870,000 General Partner Equity (Private Funding): $100
Deferred Developer (Private Funding): $1,554,300
Tax Credit Equity (Federal Funding): $19,091,888.
If Many Mansions is able to secure all of the private and public funding listed above in their first attempt, then Many Mansions would begin construction in June 2022 and complete construction in Spring 2024.
The City’s Affordable Housing In-Lieu Loan Agreement for a gap-financing loan of $1,250,000, will require the Central Terrace Apartments development to provide eight (8) one-bedroom permanent supportive housing units for homeless households with annual incomes at or below fifty-percent of the area median income. All eight units will carry a fiftyfive-year affordability restriction which will match the term of the Affordable Housing In-Lieu Loan Agreement. The density bonus permit that the Central Terrace Apartments is requesting as part of their land use application with the City also carries a fifty-five-year restriction on an additional fourteen (14) units. Those 14 units must be made available for rent to households with annual incomes at or below fifty percent of the area median income. The current California Department of Housing and Community Development state income limit for a one-person household earning up to fifty percent of the area median income is $39,950 and goes up to $45,200 for a two-person household in Ventura County.
The restrictions will be enforced via a recorded regulatory agreement executed between Many Mansions and City for the In-Lieu units and a separate density bonus agreement for the density bonus units between the City and Many Mansions to 1080
ensure that the units remain affordable and are provided to eligible income qualified tenants.
The eight (8) in-lieu units will require financial reporting and analysis annually to comply with In-Lieu loan requirements. Monitoring fees for the fifty-five-year term are included in the Developer’s budget so that the City is able to recover the cost of the monitoring.
The loan agreement between the City and Many Mansions would be inclusive of a promissory note, deed of trust, and regulatory agreement. Other loan terms associated with the City’s Affordable Housing In-Lieu loan are summarized below:
1. Three percent simple interest; and
2. Repayment of the City Loan will be on a residual receipts basis to be paid after all operating expenses, reserves, debt service with mandatory payments, investor management fee, deferred developer fee, and partnership management fee, with fifty percent of the residual receipts split pro-rata among all soft lenders based on the original principal amount of each soft lender loan; and
3. Many Mansions is required to secure all project financing and close on their construction loan by May 2025, or sooner.
If Many Mansions does not meet this timeline, the agreement is automatically terminated. If Many Mansions is able to meet this timeline, then the term of the agreement is fifty-five years from the date Many Mansions closes on their permanent financing.
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Participation City Staff has coordinated with Many Mansions and the Ventura County Transportation Commission to identify bicycle, pedestrian, and transit projects that can qualify for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant component. Staff recommends that the City solicit grant funds for sustainable transportation infrastructure and transitrelated amenities related improvements for the City’s Fourth Street Mobility Improvement Project, which is included in the City’s 2021-2026 Capital Improvement Program, and for design and installation of Downtown Oxnard Transit Amenities. The Fourth Street Mobility Improvement Project extends from C Street east to the Oxnard Transit Center (at 4th and Meta Streets), south along Meta Street to 6th Street. The project includes the design and construction of sidewalks, curb extensions, disability improvements, traffic signal modifications, bike detection, class II on-street bike lanes, bike racks, benches, B Street transit hub improvements, resurfacing, drainage improvements, signage, striping, and a new restroom. The Fourth Street Mobility Improvement Project is included in the City’s 2021-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The City is working with the Gold Coast Transit District to develop the Downtown Oxnard Transit Amenities project to coordinate the design and installation of bus shelters, benches, bike racks, lighting, and real-time arrival signs at fifty-four transit stops in Downtown Oxnard. The project will be included in the City’s 2022-2027 CIP. The combined cost of both projects is estimated to be $5,409,200 and would be carried out by the City’s Public Works Division and be subject to an implementation agreement between the City and Many Mansions, which is further discussed in this report.
Many Mansions’ application for the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program will also request that a portion of the grant funds be used for Ventura County Transportation Commission vehicle acquisition. Ventura County Transportation Commission will be the lead agency for the Ventura County Transportation Commission vehicle acquisition, with a not to exceed estimate of $2.25 million. These Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant funds would be subject to a separate implementation agreement between Ventura County Transportation Commission and Many Mansions.
The final cost estimate for each sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities project will be included in the final grant application, which will become part of the final agreement. 1081
Implementation Agreement between Many Mansions and the City The City and Many Mansions are required to enter into an implementation agreement in order to comply with the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program’s experience requirement. Staff recommends that the City execute a separate agreement with Many Mansions for the completion of the sustainable transportation infrastructure or transit-related amenities components included in the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities application.
Many Mansions, as the sole applicant, would receive all of the grant funds. The proposed terms of the implementation agreement between the City and Many Mansions are summarized below:
1. If awarded Grant funds, up to $5,409,200 thereof shall be transferred to the City for the purpose of constructing sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvements;
2. The City would be the lead agency to design and construct the Fourth Street Mobility Improvement Project and Downtown Oxnard Transit Amenities projects;
3. The City will submit to Many Mansions all cost invoices and draw requests for the transit funds that are associated with the proposed improvements;
4. The City will complete the proposed improvements no later than the deadline required under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant documents;
5. Many Mansions must receive final approval from the City of their Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities application prior to submission;
6. The agreement will terminate upon the earlier of: the completion of all obligations under the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities requirements; or (ii) mutual agreement of both the City and Many Mansions; or (iii) the occurrence of an Event of Default;
7. The agreement will automatically terminate if Many Mansions does not receive an award of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities funds to construct the Central Terrace Apartments affordable housing development and grant funds for the City to construct sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvements.
If grant funding is awarded in an amount less than requested, or if the final cost for design or construction increases at the time of bid and award, the City will be responsible for funding cost overages. However, if grant funding is awarded in an amount less than requested, the City will also have the discretion to reject the grant funds and its commitment to the sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvement projects.
If the City accepts the grants funds, the City would begin construction of the sustainable transportation infrastructure and transit-related amenities improvements by Summer 2024 and would complete construction by January 2025. Final disbursement of all funds would occur by June 2025.
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.
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
1082
Approval of the recommended actions will:
Authorize an appropriation of $1,250,000 of the City’s Affordable Housing In-Lieu funds to award a gap-financing loan to Many Mansions for the development of the Central Terrace Apartments into the following account: 371-5135-804- 8364 (Housing Assist Loan). The current fund balance in the In-Lieu fund is: $ 3,149,296.
There is no immediate financial impact to the approval of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program Implementation Agreement between the City and Many Mansions. However, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Community Program grant funds are disbursed on a reimbursement basis. If Many Mansions is awarded Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities grant funds, Public Works staff will return to Council to identify the initial funding source and recognize appropriate funds for the City to complete the Fourth Street Mobility Improvement Project and Downtown Oxnard Transit Amenities improvements on a reimbursable basis.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in the Committee. The item was originally scheduled for the May 11, 2021 Community Services, Public Safety, Housing and Development Committee meeting. However an appeal was filed on May 3, 2021 regarding the approval of the Major Downtown Design Review Permit issued at the Community Development Director’s Hearing held on April 21, 2021. However, this appeal has subsequently been withdrawn by the appealing party and the Major Design Review Permit for the Central Terrace Apartments remains valid and in effect. The appeal also delayed the Planning Commission’s consideration of the density bonus application associated with the project. At the time this agenda was printed, the Planning Commission consideration of the permit had not yet occurred. It will be considered on May 20, 2021.
The Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program application submission deadline is June 8, 2021. An executed Implementation Agreement between the City and Many Mansions is required in order to comply with the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program’s experience requirement. Due to the project appeal, which was withdrawn on May 18th, staff did not have sufficient time to take this item to a committee meeting and still meet the June 8th grant deadline.

BACKGROUND
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2019-2020, California State Budget Act provided a wide spectrum of support, incentives, and accountability measures for jurisdictions to meet California’s housing goals. On July 1, 2021, the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) established the Prohousing Designation Program (“Program”) to achieve these goals.
The Prohousing Designation Program offers an opportunity for new affordable housing projects and off-site infrastructure projects that support affordable housing development to receive additional points when applying for certain HCD funded programs. This Program enables HCD to designate jurisdictions throughout the state as Prohousing when they demonstrate policies and planning programs that accelerate the production of housing. If approved by the Council and HCD, the Prohousing designation will be applicable throughout the City of Oxnard.
One such HCD funded program that benefits with additional points in the grant application is the Affordable Housing & Sustainable Communities (AHSC) and Infill Infrastructure Grant (IIG) Programs. The AHSC grant was released in January and is due on March 19, 2024. A project that receives funding from a program such as the AHSC program can result in multiple benefits to the community it is being developed in. A direct example of this is the Central Terrace Apartments, an 88-unit affordable housing rental development located at 217-235 East Sixth Street in downtown Oxnard that is currently under construction. The project received $15 million in AHSC funding to construct the 88-unit affordable housing development and an additional $8 million that will be used towards the construction of the City's 4th Street Mobility Improvements Project. The 4th Street Mobility Improvement project is one of the Capital Improvements Projects currently listed in the City’s 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Programs. Its objective is to promote and accommodate more pedestrians and bicyclists to access downtown Oxnard from surrounding neighborhoods and from the 1095
Oxnard Transit Center.
There is an opportunity for the Aspire Apartments, just north of the Central Terrace project, located at 536 -538 Meta Street, to apply for the AHSC grant and to take advantage of the incentive scoring offered by the Prohousing Designation Program. This project includes 87-unit affordable housing rental project. Many Mansions, the developer of Aspire Apartments, will apply for AHSC funding for the project. If the City is awarded a Prohousing designation, Many Mansions can use the City’s Prohousing status to supplement additional points in their AHSC application.
DISCUSSION
Staff have conducted an analysis of the 2021-2029 Adopted Amended 6th Cycle Housing Element (Housing Element) and determined that it would be advantageous for the City to apply for this designation. Although City staff had previously considered pursuing a Prohousing Designation staff was not able to immediately apply for the program because additional time was needed to ensure that the City obtained the highest Prohousing Program score. Staff found a real value in the Pro Housing designation after multitude California jurisdictions received a designation and potential damages a competitive advantage in future grant applications.
In order to acquire the Prohousing designation, the City must score a minimum of 30 points. Staff has determined that the City’s existing Housing Element programs and policies should provide the City with the necessary scoring to secure a Prohousing Designation. Based upon an analysis of the HCD certified Housing Element and City Council approved ordinances implementing the Housing Element, the City currently has a total of 48 points.
Examples of Council actions and Housing Element programs reflecting a Prohousing designation include:
1. Ordinance 2999 (Affordable Housing Additive Zones): In October 19, 2021, the City Council adopted new regulations to streamline the construction of affordable housing by creating the Affordable Housing, Permitted (AH-P) and Affordable Housing, Discretionary (AH-D) additive overlay zone on specific parcels within the City. The additive overlay provides objective standards for the development of affordable multifamily housing by allowing a development to construct at least 30 dwelling units per acre if they provide at least 20% of the on-site units affordable to lower income households. Those projects that are located on an AH-P site are approved ministerial and those projects located on an AH-D site are approved through a discretionary permit which is granted by either the Planning Commission or City Council.
2. Program 10 (Inclusionary Housing Program): Developers of new residential projects containing ten (10) or more for-sale or for-rent dwelling units are required to provide 10 percent of the total units as on-site affordable housing for low income households in the manner specified in Ordinances 2980, or make an in-lieu Affordable Housing Payment to the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This program is ongoing and will be monitored annually.
3. Downtown Code: Originally drafted in 2016 and approved in 2019; the DT Code allows for residential or mixed uses in one or more non-residential zones (e.g., commercial, light industrial). Qualifying non-residential zones do not include open space or substantially similar zones.
The following proposed programs listed on the 2021-2029 Adopted Amended 6th Cycle Housing Element (Housing Element) will be included as part of the application:
1. Teal Club Specific Plan: This specific plan satisfies sub-category 1B (permitting missing middle housing uses; triplexes and fourplexes by right in existing low density, single-family residential zones) of the application. The proposed plan includes 990 units in a range of affordability and densities, 148 units will be affordable to lower income households.
2. Maulhardt Specific Plan: The Maulhardt Specific Plan Amendment includes 530 units, of which 106 will be restricted as affordable to lower income households. Similar to the Teal Club Specific Plan, this meets the requirement of missing middle housing uses in low-density, single-family residential zones.
3. Program 5 (Parcel Assemblage): In an effort to create additional opportunities for redevelopment and affordable housing, the City will encourage and prioritize lot consolidation for affordable housing and redevelopment in high opportunity areas to increase mobility options for lower-income households and improve access to resources. This 1096
program falls in line with the application’s Favorable Zoning and Land Use category.
4. Program 31 (Oxnard Boulevard Corridor): In 2016, the City completed a $250,000 Caltrans-funded planning study focused on transforming 7.2 miles of former State highways that run through the city into complete streets suitable for transit that would serve new medium- and high-density transit-oriented mixed-use and affordable housing development. This program involves establishing a transit corridor specific plan with 20% inclusionary requirements and developing an implementation and financing approach that would both fund the street improvements and identify multifamily housing opportunity sites.
5. Program 36 (Accessory Dwelling Unit Promotion Program): The program is meant to encourage and publicize the ADU program to increase public awareness and promote the construction of ADUs to homeowners in moderate and higher resource areas. Awareness is accomplished through inserting informational flyers in monthly bills, providing additional information on the City’s website or public service announcements on Oxnard TV channel.
6. Program 42 (Accessory Dwelling Unit Construction Cost Assistance and Accelerator Program): The City will establish an ADU Construction Cost Assistance and Accelerator Program that pairs lower-income households on a wait list with homeowners willing to offer their ADUs as affordable rentals for a period of up to 55 years. In exchange, homeowners would receive assistance from the Housing Department to offset a portion of the cost of ADU construction to apply towards building permit plan check fees, with the balance available to owners to apply towards the owner’s construction costs. This satisfies sub-category 4D of the application, by providing grants or low-interest loans for ADU construction.
Benefits of Prohousing Designation:
A Prohousing Designation grants additional points or other preferences in the scoping of applications for competeive state-funded housing and infrastructure programs. Additionally, jurisdictions that obtain a proposing designation are eligible to receive grant funding through the Prophousing Incentive Program (PIP) that can be used for planning or implementation activities related to housing and community development, including:
1. Matching portions of funds placed into local or regional housing trust funds;
2. Capitalized reserves for services in new permanent supportive housing;
3. Assisting persons who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including providing rapid rehousing, rental assistance, navigation centers, emergency shelters, and the new construction, rehabilitation, and preservation of permanent and transitional housing;
4. Efforts to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed or vacant homes;
5. Fiscal incentives or matching funds to local agencies that approve new housing for extremely low, very low, low-, and moderate-income households;
6. Accessibility modifications;
7. Homeownership opportunities, including down payment assistance; and
8. Predevelopment, development, acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of multifamily, residential live-work, and rental housing that is affordable to a variety of income levels.
To apply for a Prohousing designation the City must:
1. Acknowledge and confirm that the City is currently in compliance with applicable state housing laws and will continue to comply with applicable housing laws;
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing an application submittal; and
3. Document compliant local policies.
1097
The application is a self-scoring worksheet split into four categories including; Favorable Zoning and Land Use, Acceleration of Housing Production Timeframes, Reduction of Construction and Development Costs, and Providing Financial Subsidies.
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.
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
There is no financial impact associated with applying for a Prohousing designation. If awarded, the City will be eligible to apply for HCD’s PIP grant funding, a $26 million state investment from the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund.
There are a number of other grant funded programs and opportunities which the City will be eligible for as a result of HCD Program designation.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee.
In an effort to assist Many Mansions in obtaining bonus Prohousing points for their Aspire Apartments AHSC application, the Prohousing application must be submitted to HCD prior to the AHSC application deadline in March. As such there was no time to take this item to committee if the City is going to meet the AHSC grant deadline.
