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 re - colección 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 es - tudios 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 Depar - tamento de Obras Públicas de la Ciudad es una operación de fondos empre - sariales para brindar servicios de desechos sólidos a los residentes y comer - cios 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 servi - cios 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 medi - ante un sistema de tres contenedores para la basura, el reciclaje y los resid - uos 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 house- hold waste (garbage, recycling, and organic waste). Any additional carts are available for an additional fee. Along with residential collec- tion 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, process- ing 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 classifi- cations 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 afec - tarán 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 tar - ifas 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 adecua - da 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 implemen - tar el Proyecto de Ley 1383 (Capítulo 395, Estatutos de 2016), la Ciudad debe proveer la recolección de residuos orgánicos. Las tarifas propuestas garan - tizarán 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.

Industrial Industrial
Oxnard industrial service is provided via open-top roll-off containers on an on-call basis. The Environmental Resources Division does not provide compactors, however, it does provide service for them. Industrial service capacities that generate more than four cubic yards of waste per week are required by law to have recycling and organic collection service, or an alternative diversion program in place (with limited exceptions).

El servicio industrial de Oxnard se presta a través de contenedores abiertos de carga rodante a demanda. La División de Recursos Ambientales no brinda compactadores, sin embargo, sí les presta servicio. Las capacidades de servicio industrial que generan más de cuatro yardas cúbicas de residuos a la semana están obligadas por ley a disponer de un servicio de recolección de reciclables y orgánicos, o de un programa alternativo de desvío (con excepciones limitadas).

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
T h e C i t y o f O x n a r d ( C i t y ) c o n t r a c t e d w i t h R a f t e l is Financial Consultants (R aftelis) 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-servic e 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 custom ers and 5,082 commercial customers and apartment buildings. On an annual basis, the Depa rtment’s customers generate over 295,000 2 tons of municipal solid
waste. In addition, the Department processes approximat ely 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 to nnages managed by ER’s collections amounts to approximately 317,100 tons annually as later presented in Table 29 with in section 3 of this report. To dispose of outbound materials, the City has agreements with Wa ste 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 serv ice obligations, and increasing Reserve levels during the five-year rate-setting period. Raftelis worked with Ci ty staff to confirm key assumptions relied upon in the

determination of the Study recommendations, including the analysis of the adeq uacy 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 wo rk effort identified bill im pacts 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 mainta in consistency with what had been presented to City Council for the standard residential three (3) cart servic e. 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 esca lations; and iii) targeting compliance with the City’s current Reserve policy target over a longer period of ti me. 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 exis ting 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 ma intenance expenses, debt service payments, capital expenditures, and Reserve requirements through the Fi scal Year 2032. Based on the key assumptions of the analysis, Raftelis determined that the existing rates fo r 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 pr epared 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 repr esented 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 re commendation period which would necessitate a change in rate revenues (i.e., changes in customer demands, regulations, cost of contracted disposal, etc.). 243

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% increa se 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 prov ide adequate funding for operations, capital funding, and support deposits to Reserves by the end of the initia l five years of the Rate Study Period to help maintain compliance minimum Reserve targets.

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 inflat ion in the cost of operatio ns, 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 ba lances over the initial five year of the Rate Study Period relative to the City’s total Reserve targets und er the proposed financial plan selected by Council.

Assuming implementation of the recommended rate adjust ments, the City is projected to achieve 50% of the targeted minimum Reserve target and is projected to re build towards the Council policy such Reserves in the final year of the Rate Study Period.

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 thro ugh short term capital leases and debt. The capital improvement plan is composed of facility investments, followed by fl eet-related expenses and equipment purchases.

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;

246
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 su dden events to financial operations (e.g., changes in market conditions affectin g 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 adju stment 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 capita l 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. Pe rforming 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 Administra tion 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).

3. Key Inputs and Assumptions
Raftelis developed an ER Fund financial projection and ra te calculation for a ten year period, which serves as the basis for the Rate Study Period as previously descri bed. The City’s fiscal year spans from July 1 through June 30. Projections in future years were generally ba sed 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 Ma y 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 ra tes. In contrast, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has increased 33.9% over the same period.

As it relates to residential solid waste collection servic e, the City provides residents with weekly collection service utilizing a three-bin (or three-stream) system fo r 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.

City of Oxnard / Environmental Resources Cost of Service and Rate Study Report 29

The City also offers cart service to attached multi-family residential units 4 or less. This can include mobile homes, town homes, duplexes, triplexes, and quadraplexes. Table 18 shows the current adopted residential rate schedule developed during the prior rate study.

Table 18: Current Multi-Family (<4 Units) Residential ER Fund Rate Structure Residential Collection Rates Current
First Unit $30.78
Second Unit $27.73
Third Unit $26.22
Fourth Unit and Above $24.70
__________
(1) Charge for service includes garbage, recycling, organics collection every week.

Along with residential cart collection service, the City provides curbside cart collection service to its non- residential and commercial customers which varies in the level of service based on demand. The City also offers bin collection service to the non-residential and multi-family greater than four units (>4) receiving commercial-like bin service. Table 19 and Table 20 show the current adopted monthly rates for such service.

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 shou ld not be relied upon for any other purpose than the purposes of this Study to help provide relevant co ntext concerning the level of service and operational requirements of the System. This section is not inte nded to represent or provide any legal opinions or interpretations on State law.

● AB 341 Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) – Adopte d into California Law in 2012 and requires businesses that generate four or more cubic yard s 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 (O rganics 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) Regulations 3: 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. Th ese requirements are pursuant to the Governor’s executive order N-79-20.
o Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulation appl ies 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 pe rcentages 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 divers ion goals set by the State of California, including compliance with organics diversion requirements fr om 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 stat istics 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.

3.5. Expenditures
The expenditures during the Rate Study Period are pr imarily 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) assume d 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.

Figure 4: Operating Expense Forecast by Budgetary Cost Center

The ER Waste Transfer Haul cost center is the largest co st 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 incr emental operating costs to account for the additional labor, fuel, maintenance, and vehicle purchases.

and tipping fees charged by Simi Land fill. 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.

Together, the disposal costs and personnel expenses a ccount for approximately $37.4 million or 64% of total operating expenses. 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 oper ating 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 Improvem ent 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 su mmary of the planned annual capital spending over the Rate Study Period, which is expected to average appr oximately $10.9 million annually. The capital needs are primarily related to the need to replace the material s recovery facility (MRF) and MRF equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Overall, the replac ement facilities and facili ty 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 ex penditure, and the City has planned to purchase additional vehicles to address planned level of service n eeds. 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 tr ucks, and commercial rear end loaders. Based on discussions with City staff, to meet service demands plac ed 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 zero- emission 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, incl uding city, county, special district, and State agency fleets, are required to ensure 50 percent of vehicle purchases are zero-emi ssion beginning in 2025 and 100 percent of vehicle purchases are zero-emission by 2027. It should be noted th at 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.

3.5.5. 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.

As previously noted, based on direction from City staff, it was acceptable for Reserves to fall below the target noted in the City’s policy in order to help mitigate rate adjustments to customers so long as the Reserves were rebuilding within the final years of the forecast. 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 disc ussed 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 ch anges for individual customers will depend on the cost-of- service 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 increa ses, the Study contemplated four scenarios and two sensitivities ranging in capital expenditures and revenue adjustments. Per direction from City Council on December 5
th, 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.

Figure 5: Proposed Solid Waste Financial Plan

Table 45 shows proposed Revenue Adjustments for the Ra te 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 Ad justments 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 re presented 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 signif icant 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.).

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 recomme nded 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.

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.

Table 47 presents a summary of the allocation percentages based on the various cost allocation metrics relied upon for the study. The allocation factors are calculated and presented in Appendix E. These factors were developed specifically for the format of the City’s operating budget and costs.

Since the forecast assumes no growth the statistical data relied upon for the cost allocations remains constant during the Rate Study Period.

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.

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 servic e for the Fiscal Year 2029, then the Revenue Adjustment are applied to determine the prior fisc al 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.

_______
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. 309

BACKGROUND

Executive Summary

The City’s Public Works Department Environmental Resources Division (ER) is an enterprise fund operation that provides Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) services to Oxnard residents and businesses, which includes collection, sorting, processing, and disposal for 34,154 residential properties and 16,378 commercial customers (includes apartment buildings) six days a week. Services include collection, sorting, transportation, and transferring material to the landfill to foster a clean, safe, and sustainable Oxnard. To provide our services while meeting all Local, State, and Federal requirements, ER:
• Recycles approximately 12,918 tons of material and 14,177 tons of organics (green waste & food waste); • Handles approximately 294,938 tons (589,876,000 lbs) of MSW annually; • Has a workforce of 179 essential workers fulfilling 529,443 hours per year; and • Has invested approximately $60 million in capital equipment, facilities, and land including the Del Norte Regional Recycling and Transfer Station and approximately 138 vehicles (109 heavy-duty trucks & 29 small vehicles)

The last time the City Council approved a cost of service analysis for ER was in May 2012, with a rate increase effective January 2013. Since January 2013 (when accounting for the removal of the Infrastructure Use Fee (IUF) in 2021) the residential rate (96-gallons) has gone from $30.15 to $30.78 per month and the most popular commercial rate (4-yard/once per week) has gone from $224.81 to $230.86 per month. This represents a 2.1% residential increase and a 2.7% commercial increase over 10 years. However, over that same decade, the consumer price index has increased by 33.9%.

Separate from rates, service fees (e.g. per ton for disposal of refuse, greenwaste, construction and demolition, and self- 328
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:
329

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.
330

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 331
requirements and process. Fees are defined as charges for solid waste services and while they do not require a Proposition 218 noticing procedure, they must be cost based and in compliance with Proposition 26.

Existing Rates and History (include a benchmark CPI theoretical scenario)

The City Council approved a cost of service analysis last in May 2012, resulting in rate increases effective January 2013.

The authorized increases and decreases noted in the table below cumulatively represent a 2.1% increase in residential rates and a 2.7% increase in the most popular commercial rate since the last Study was approved and implemented in January 2013. However, over that same decade, the consumer price index has increased by 33.9%. The following tables provide the rate history for a residential customer (96-gallon cart):

The below graph shows the history of residential rates since 2012. The graph also includes a benchmark scenario, if rates were theoretically increased annually by the CPI (Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California) at a minimum. 332

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:
333

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. 334
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 335
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.

336

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 337
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.
338
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.

339

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.

340

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 341
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.

342

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.

343

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 344
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 345
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.

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 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 does not apply to mobile home parks;

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 the 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;

BACKGROUND

The Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 (the Act) requires the Oxnard Housing Authority to submit a 5-Year PHA Plan and an Annual Agency Plan. The purpose of the 5-Year PHA Plan and Annual Agency Plan, along with the program policies for the Public Housing Program (Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy) and the Housing Choice Voucher Program (Administrative Plan), is to provide a framework for local accountability, along with an easily- identifiable source document where public housing residents, housing voucher participants, and members of the public may locate basic information regarding a housing authority’s policies, rules and regulations and services provided by the 377
agency.

The 5-Year PHA Plan covers fiscal years 2020-2025 and the Annual Agency Plan covers fiscal year 2024. Updates must be submitted to the HUD at least seventy-five days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, and must include certifications that each Plan is consistent with the City of Oxnard’s Consolidated Plan and in accordance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s requirements.

DISCUSSION

The 5-Year PHA Plan and Annual Agency Plan identify the Oxnard Housing Authority’s goals and objectives that will enable Oxnard to serve the needs of low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income families. The current 5- year PHA Plan was adopted in fiscal year 2020. Revisions, new activities, progress towards goals and objectives, and updates are outlined in the Annual PHA Plan (Attachment 1). The proposed revisions include significant amendments to the Housing Choice Voucher Administrative plan and Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy plan to incorporate the new federal requirements as published on Federal Register Notice 2/14/23 for Sections 102 and 104 of the Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act of 2016; undertaking of activities related to the conversion of public housing through the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program; applying for new programs, tenant based vouchers, and project- based voucher allocations. These activities were provided for in the 5-Year PHA plan.

Updates to Housing Choice Voucher Administrative plan and Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy plan

The Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA) was signed into law on July 29, 2016, amending several aspects of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) rental assistance programs, streamlining processes, and reducing burdens on housing providers. The HOTMA final rule which implements Sections 102 and 104 of the law, was published on February 14, 2023 and HUD’s implementation guidance was issued (PIH 2023-27) on September 29, 2023. The updates pertain to regulations which affect income calculations, income reviews and asset limitations. HUD requires PHAs to comply no later than January 1, 2025. The Oxnard Housing Authority will select a compliance date based on when its database vendor has completed all necessary software upgrades and HUD has begun accepting certifications via the Housing Information Portal (HIP). “Comply” means, in this instance, utilizing the HOTMA rules as it applies to the affected programs and corresponding report in HIP. Until such time, the Oxnard Housing Authority will follow existing policies and families will be notified if their income determination is being conducted pre-HOTMA regulations or in accordance with the HOTMA final rule. The HOTMA changes which are being incorporated into each plan as appropriate, are:

1. “Assets” is now defined as all family assets with enumerated exclusions. New rules on how income from assets is calculated have been established by HUD.

2. Household annual income will be projected at new admissions, however; for reexaminations, the income will be based on previous 12 months.

3. New asset limitation: Families cannot participate in the program if they have >$100,000 in total assets or ownership in a real property where the family can live (HUD will issue additional guidance on this regulation). The Oxnard Housing Authority will adopt any grace periods allotted by federal regulations for families who are no longer eligible.

4. HUD form 9886- Authorization for the Release of Information, will only require signature once. The Oxnard Housing Authority will deny admission or terminate assistance for revocation of consent.

5. PHAs will not be out of compliance solely due to minimis errors (defined as an error that results in a difference in the calculation of the family’s adjusted income by the PHA from the correct income determination by nor more than $30 per month) in calculation a family’s income but will need to take corrective action if a family is overcharged. Interim income reexaminations are not required for decreases in adjusted income of 10% or less. The Oxnard Housing Authority will conduct an interim reexamination for any reported changes by the family.

6. Interim income reexaminations are required when a family’s unearned income increases by 10% or more, except for cases where annual recertification is due within 3 months. The Oxnard Housing Authority will not process interim income reexaminations if the annual recertification due within 3 months. 378

7. Eliminates the earned income disregard (EID), only families already participating may continue receiving the benefit up to 2 years from the date. The EID allowed families to have a portion of their earned income excluded from annual income for a maximum period of 24 consecutive months.

8. Mandatory deductions to be adjusted annually for families with dependents or elderly and disabled.

9. Establishes that the sum of unreimbursed health and medical care, reasonable attendant care, and auxiliary expenses that exceeds 10% (previously 3%) of the family’s annual income can be deducted from the annual income. The Oxnard Housing Authority will adopt hardship exemptions for phase in families, families who face financial hardship as a result of this change and for continued child care expenses.

10. Participants may self-certify their assets if <$50,000. The Oxnard Housing Authority will accept selfcertifications.

11. PHAs may use other means-tested federal public assistance program income determinations. When available and if applicable, the Oxnard Housing Authority will use other program income determinations as appropriate.

12. PHAs are no longer required to use Enterprise Income Verification income reports. The Oxnard Housing Authority will use Enterprise Income Verification reports as needed.

Involuntary Displacement Preference (Revised)

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) regulations (24 CFR 982.207) permit PHAs to establish local preferences based on local housing needs and priorities. On December 20, 2023, the City of Oxnard was affected by rain from an offshore Pacific Ocean. Many residential areas with apartment complexes located in low income neighborhoods were flooded. In reviewing the existing local preferences adopted by the Oxnard Housing Authority, it was noted that the existing displacement preference only applies to families involuntarily displaced as a result of an improvement or development project in which the Oxnard Housing Authority has ownership interest and no suitable unit is available or if displaced by a federally declared disaster. Therefore, the recommendation is that the existing preference be revised to provide more flexibility to the PHA to respond. The proposed revision will be:

Families are considered to be involuntarily displaced if they are:

a. displaced as a result of an improvement or development project to which the Oxnard Housing Authority has ownership interest and no suitable unit is available; or

b. displaced by a government declaration of emergency, such as a natural disaster; or

c. displaced as a result of an extenuating circumstance as certified by the Housing Director. An extenuating emergency does not include individuals whose tenancy was terminated for cause or individuals who do not have a legally binding landlord and tenant relationship.

These admissions must meet the Oxnard Housing Authority Residency Preference.

The proposed revision has been submitted to HUD for review, any modifications recommended will be adopted.

Undertaking of new activities related to conversion, Choice Neighborhoods, and project-based vouchers

In 2023, the Oxnard Housing Authority (OHA) procured a consultant to begin activities related to the repositioning of its public housing portfolio. The term “repositioning” refers to the removal of a property from the Public Housing subsidy platform to a Section 8 project-based subsidy, which provides a more stable stream of subsidy and allows for the rehabilitation of units. For the 2024 Annual PHA plan, the OHA will continue efforts in relation to repositioning activities which include completion of a physical needs assessment for each individual property, a financial analysis on the impact on both the development proformas and annual operating budget for each strategy option, environmental reviews, and development of a multiphase asset repositioning plan. Any conversion strategy adopted will require the OHA to apply for approval from HUD.

Secondly, staff will monitor for notices of funding opportunities and will undertake the appropriate activities to apply for grants that will enable the OHA to secure additional vouchers while expanding the types of housing assistance programs offered to the community. This includes but is not limited to, additional project-based vouchers, which are vouchers where the subsidized housing assistance is tied to a specific unit. The Choice Neighborhoods grant is another program of interest. The program leverages public and private dollars to support local strategies by PHAs that address struggling neighborhoods with distressed public or HUD-assisted housing through a comprehensive approach through neighborhood transformation. Several of the OHA’s public housing projects are located in distressed neighborhoods which need critical improvements, including vacant property, housing, business, services and schools. An assessment will be completed to determine if any of the OHA projects are candidates for the FY 2024 Choice Neighborhoods Grant. If so, an application will be submitted to HUD for consideration.

5-Year PHA Plan, Annual Agency Plan, Capital Fund Budget and Capital Fund Program Process

The last component of the Annual Agency Plan and the 5-Year PHA Plan has to do with the adoption of an annual Capital Fund budget as well as a Capital Fund Program 5-Year Action Plan. The primary purpose of the Capital Fund Program is to preserve and maintain the integrity of the Oxnard Housing Authority’s (OHA) public housing stock and to fund necessary improvements. For the coming fiscal year, the OHA is presenting a budget of $1,057,000 for the Capital Fund Program activities. An estimated $187,000 of the budget is allocated towards administrative expenses. The remaining $870,000 is being used towards capital improvements, specifically, the American with Disabilities Act 504- conversion project and improvements. The 504-conversion project refers to a multi-phase conversion project that will bring the OHA into compliance with the American with Disabilities Act. These regulations establish a minimum number of dwelling units that must be accessible for individuals with disabilities. As a result of the demolition of units in the 31-1 (Colonia Village) project site, the OHA is deficient in 18 accessible units. The units have been selected from each project site based on ease of conversion, availability of space and cost effectiveness. In fiscal year 2024, the conversion of the units within the Colonia Village site (Agreement A-8544) will begin. To keep this multi phased project on schedule, staff will utilize available funds from the Housing Business Activities Fund (BAF). Once the annual Capital Fund Grant is received, those funds will be utilized rather than the BAF funds. Besides the 504-conversion project, the OHA will also make improvements to the main alley in the project which runs behind Colonia Road to Juanita Avenue. The final capital funding amount is yet to be determined and is based upon congressional appropriation. Any additional funding approved will be allocated towards the 504-conversion project. The proposed annual Capital Fund Program (CFP) budget and CFP Five-Year Action plan are set forth in Attachments 2 and 3.

A copy of the proposed Annual Agency Plan, the 2024 CFP Budget, and CFP Five-Year Action Plan was posted on Oxnard Housing Authority’s website, at all Oxnard Housing Authority’s site offices and the City Clerk’s Office. The opportunity for suggestions or recommendations from the public was made available for public comment on November 16, 2023, for forty-five days (closed December 31, 2023).

The Oxnard Housing Authority conducted a public meeting on December 7, 2023, and January 18, 2024, and staff presented to the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) at those meetings and responded to inquiries from Resident Advisory Board members and others. The RAB consists of Tenant Commissioners, public housing residents, and housing choice voucher program participants. The RAB provides comments, suggestions, and feedback to the OHA. There were no objections and no written comments. The following verbal comment was received regarding the staff presentation:

Comment: Can a pie chart of the capital fund annual budget be created going forward?

Response: The capital fund annual budget must be formatted on the HUD-50075 form. For future fiscal years, the current format will be used, however; a pie chart will be included in the PowerPoint presentation for the RAB meetings.
