Re: Solid Waste Rate Study
Bartle Wells Associates is pleased to submit to the City of Patterson the attached draft Solid Waste Rate Study. The study presents BWA’s analysis of the operating and non-operating expenses of solid waste services and provides a five-year cash flow projection.

BWA finds that the rates and charges proposed in our report to be based on the cost of service, follow generally accepted rate design criteria, and adhere to the substantive requirements of Proposition 218. BWA believes that the proposed rates are fair and reasonable to the City’s customers.

We enjoyed working with you on the rate study and appreciate the assistance of City staff throughout the project. Please contact us if you ever have any future questions about this study and the rate recommendations.

Yours truly,
Erik Helgeson, MBA
Vice President

1.1 Background
The City of Patterson (the City) is a general law City located in western Stanislaus County with a population of approximately 23,800. The solid waste service is a self-supporting enterprise fund; revenues are derived primarily from utility service charges and must be adequate to fund operating and capital needs.

The City retained Bartle Wells Associates to develop a long-term financial plan and 5-year rate recommendations for the solid waste enterprise (Enterprise). The most recent rate study was completed in 2019 and the City last increased the solid waste rates on July 1, 2023. The major objectives of this study include:
 Ensuring the continued financial health and stability of the City’s Enterprise;  Developing a projection of revenue requirements for the Enterprise;  Recommending rates which meet these revenue requirements;  Have gradual, predictable rate increases to the extent possible, to minimize the annual impact on ratepayers.
 Maintaining equity among all users of the system and ensure compliance with legal requirements such as Proposition 218.

1.2 Solid Waste Customers
The City operates and maintains a solid waste enterprise that serves over 7,100 permanent and part-time customers, 94.3% of which are residential. Residential customers receive bulky item pick up twice per year for no additional charge. In addition to residential curbside services, the City offers commercial can and dumpster services.

1.3 Solid Waste System
The City contracts with Bertolotti Disposal to collect and dispose of its customers’ solid waste, green waste, and recyclables. The City has a contract with Stanislaus County Landfill and Waste Energy Facility to use its solid waste disposal sites, incurring a fee for either tipping fees to wasteto-energy (WTE) or landfill with recyclables going to a transfer station for sorting.

Regulation compliance is the primary driver for the City’s increasing costs of service. The City, as well asits contractors, must abide by all state laws and mandates for the collection, disposal, and recycling of solid waste, green waste, and recyclables. Most notably, California Senate Bill 1383 requires cities to implement new organics diversion programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills1. Final regulations for SB 1383 were adopted in 2020 with statewide mandated compliance beginning January 1, 2022.

2.1 Use of Generally Accepted Rate-Making Principles
The rates developed in this study use a straightforward methodology to establish an equitable system of fixed and variable charges that recover the cost of providing service and fairly apportion costs to each rate component. The rates were developed using generally accepted cost-based principles and methodologies.

In reviewing the City’s rates and finances, BWA used the following criteria in developing our recommendations:
1) Revenue Sufficiency: Rates should recover the annual cost of service and provide revenue stability.
2) Rate Impact: While rates are calculated to generate sufficient revenue to cover operating and capital costs, they should be designed to minimize, as much as possible, the impact on ratepayers.
3) Equitable: Rates should be fairly allocated among all customer classes based on their estimated demand characteristics. Each user class only pays its proportionate share. 4) Practical: Rates should be simple in form and, therefore, adaptable to changing conditions, easy to administer and easy to understand.

2.2 Proposition 218
Utility rates are subject to the procedural and substantive requirements as set forth in Proposition 218. Proposition 218 was adopted by California voters in 1996 and added Articles 13C and 13D to the California Constitution. Article 13D, Section 6 governs property‐related charges, which the California Supreme Court subsequently ruled includes ongoing utility service charges such as water, sewer, and garbage rates. Article 13D, Section 6 establishes a) procedural requirements for imposing or increasing property‐related charges, and b) substantive requirements for those charges. Article 13D also requires voter approval for new or increased property‐related charges but exempts from this voting requirement rates for water, sewer, and garbage service. The substantive requirements of Article 13D, Section 6 require the City’s utility rates to meet the following conditions:
• Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not exceed the funds required to provide the property related service.
• Revenues derived from the fee or charge shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which the fee or charge was imposed.
• The amount of a fee or charge imposed upon any parcel or person as an incident of property ownership shall not exceed the proportional cost of the service attributable to the parcel.

City of Patterson – Solid Waste Rate Study 2024 Page | 3 • No fee or charge may be imposed for a service unless that service is actually used by, or immediately available to, the owner of the property in question. • No fee or charge may be imposed for general governmental services, such as police or fire services, where the service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property owners.

The procedural requirements of Proposition 218 for all utility rate increases are as follows:
• Noticing Requirement: The City must mail a notice of proposed rate increases to all affected property owners. The notice must specify the basis of the fee, the reason for the fee, and the date/time/location of a public rate hearing at which the proposed rates will be considered/adopted.
• Public Hearing: The City must hold a public hearing prior to adopting the proposed rate increases. The public hearing must be held not less than 45 days after the required notices are mailed.
• Rate Increases Subject to Majority Protest: At the public hearing, the proposed rate increases are subject to majority protest. If more than 50% of affected property owners submit written protests against the proposed rate increases, the increases cannot be adopted.

3.2 Current Solid Waste Accounts and Equivalent Service Units The following table shows the current number of solid waste accounts and the number of equivalent service units (ESUs) for each container size, collection frequency and service type. The ESUs were based on the proportional cost of service compared to a one 96-gallon commercial toter that is picked up once a week. The fee charged by Bertolotti to the Enterprise at each service level represents the proportional cost of service. The ESU calculation is based on the revised fees requested by Bertolotti for the FY 2024/25 rate calculation. Bertolotti is requesting their contract be amended to reflect new fees that account for increased costs of recycling and the cost of compliance with SB 1383. BWA feels this is the most reasonable method for the City to determine the proportion of service because its costs are incurred to support the collection and disposal of waste, and the fees charged to the City by Bertolotti are the City’s cost of service for collection and disposal of waste.

3.4 Solid Waste Financial Overview
Bartle Wells Associates conducted an independent evaluation of the City’s solid waste enterprise finances. Key observations include:
o Solid waste rates have continued to gradually increase since 2019 based on the previous rate study. This has helped the City maintain a strong financial position. o Total solid waste reserves at the beginning of FY 2024/25 were $1.58 million. However, the City will begin operating at a deficit without rate increases this year.

3.5 Financial Challenges / Key Drivers of Rate Increases Going forward, the City’s solid waste enterprise is facing several financial challenges that will require the City to raise rates over the next five years. Key drivers of future solid waste rate increases are summarized below.

3.5.1 Waste Collection Contractor (Bertolotti) and Disposal Expense The city pays Bertolotti to collect and dispose of solid waste based on a contract. The amount for each container size, collection frequency, and service type is agreed to in the contract and then escalates each year based on two components. The first component is the cost of solid waste disposal which is 20% of the overall increase. The City also has a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Stanislaus County for disposal at two sites. Prices for disposal are established through FY 2024/25. In FY 2025/26, the disposal costs will increase significantly. The second component is Bertolotti’s cost of collection which consists of 80% of the overall increase.

1 Residential Three Toter Service customer is equivalent to 0.60 ESUs. Residential Extra Service customer is equivalent to 0.27 ESU City of Patterson – Solid Waste Rate Study 2024 Page | 10 This amount is based on the change in the Bay Area Consumer Price Index. The average increase of both components is calculated in Table 3 of Appendix A. The total amount paid to Bertolotti is calculated in Table 6 of Appendix A.

Bertolotti requested an amendment to their contract to revise its base fee at the end of FY 2023/24 primarily to address the increasing costs of disposing recyclables and the costs to comply with the new SB 1383 rules for organics disposal.

3.5.2 Additional Staff
The solid waste enterprise is projected to need added staff over the period of the next five years to comply with SB 1383 operating, reporting, and education requirements. The City provided the estimated costs for additional staff. BWA inflated the costs based on the projected hiring year. These additional expenses are reflected in Table 16 in the Appendix.

3.5.3 Additional Equipment
The solid waste enterprise is projected to need additional equipment to support operations and SB 1383 compliance. The City provided estimates of the cost and purchase timing of new equipment.

These expenses are reflected in Table 16 in the Appendix.

3.5.4 Ongoing Operating Cost Inflation
The City faces ongoing operating cost inflation due to the annual cost increases for materials, equipment, salaries, benefits, etc. Cost inflation was estimated to range from 3 to 5% annually.

3.5.5 Solid Waste Reserve Funds
Maintaining a prudent minimal level of fund reserves provides a financial cushion for dealing with unanticipated expenses, revenue shortfalls, and non-catastrophic emergency capital repairs. The City’s reserve target is for solid waste reserves to be able to cover at least three months of operating expenses. The fund reserve target escalates over time as the solid waste utility’s revenues and expenses gradually increase in future years.

3.5.6 Solid Waste Expense Projections
Table 1 in Appendix A shows a 5-year breakdown of projected solid waste enterprise expenses.

Compliance with recent state mandates is the key driver for the increasing cost of expenses. The expense projections support the need for annual rate adjustments to keep revenues in line with projected expenditures. Rate adjustments will support balanced budgets and maintaining prudent minimum levels of fund reserves.

City of Patterson – Solid Waste Rate Study 2024 Page | 11

3.6 Financial Plan Assumptions
The financial plan includes several reasonable and slightly conservative (revenues on low side, expenses on high side) assumptions. Key cash flow assumptions include:
• Revenue Assumptions
o Revenues will increase with customer growth.
o Non-rate revenue will remain at current levels.
o Interest on reserves is projected to be 1.5% of beginning reserves. • Expenses Assumptions
o Bertolotti costs will increase based on amended rates. o General inflation will range from 3 to 5%.
o Transfers consist of street repair costs of $100,000 per year beginning in FY 2025/26 and a five-year debt repayment of $100,000 per year beginning in FY 2026/27. o The low income/senior customer rate will remain at $31.83 from FY 2024/25 to FY 2025/26 and then be increased by $1.35 per year from FY 2026/27 to FY 2029/30.

3.7 Rate Scenarios
The requested new charges cause significant increases in some customer classes. In addition to calculating the new rates going into effect on January 1, 2025, a second scenario was developed to mitigate the impacts on the effected customer classes.

Scenario 1: No Phase-In
The rates in this scenario do not reflect a phase-in, but instead reflect an immediate switch to the proposed commercial rates. Full revenue recovery is met, and the reserve target is met in all years of the 5-year 218 period (FY 2024/25 through FY 2029/30).

Scenario 2: Phase-In
The commercial rates with large increases are phased-in evenly over the 5-year 218 period. This will result in the City collecting less than the projected revenue requirement in the first five years of the 218 notice period. This loss is shown in the Scenario 2 cash flow in Table 5.

3.8 Solid Waste Revenue Requirements: Cash Flow Projections BWA developed long-term solid waste enterprise cash flow projections to evaluate financial alternatives and estimate future solid waste rate increases. The revenue increase recommendations were developed to meet projected expenses as well as maintain reserves and the long-term health of the solid waste utility. The solid waste cashflow is shown on the following table.

3.9 Solid Waste Rate Structure Recommendations
BWA conducted an independent analysis of the City’s current solid waste rate structure. Based on an evaluation of rate alternatives and input from City staff, BWA recommends adjusting the rates to be proportionate to the ESUs reflecting the requested Bertolotti fees. BWA feels this is the most reasonable method for the City to determine the proportion of service because its costs are incurred to support the collection and disposal of waste, and the fees charged to the City by Bertolotti are the City’s cost of service for collection and disposal of waste.

3.9.1 Unit Rate Calculation
The unit rate per ESU was calculated by dividing the FY 2024/25 rate revenue requirement by the total number of ESUs.

City of Patterson – Solid Waste Rate Study 2024 Page | 16

3.9.2 Rate Derivation
For FY 2024/25 Rates were derived for each service by multiplying the unit rate by the number of ESUs each service was assigned. In the following years, the proposed rates were derived by being increased by the overall rate revenue increase. These calculations result in the rates for Scenario 1.

To mitigate the impact to the 96-gallon commercial services, all commercial recycling services, and all residential extra toter services, Scenario 2 rates were developed. Scenario 2 rates are increased in even increments over the 218 period (FY 2024/25 through FY 2029/30) to eventually reach the same rates as Scenario 1 in FY 2029/30.

3.9.2.1 Low Income/ Senior Discount Rate
The low income/senior rate is currently discounted $10.00 from the residential rate. In order to continue to provide meaningful relief to these customers, the City wants to increase the discount to $25 by FY 2029/30. To reach this target BWA recommends having the rate remain at $31.83 from FY 2024/25 to FY 2025/26 and then be increased by $1.35 per year from FY 2026/27 to FY 2029/30. This will result in a discount of $25.03 in FY 2029/30.
