Public Safety Augmentation Fund 176
This fund accounts for the City's allocation of revenues from California Proposition 172, a statewide one-half cent sales tax approved by voters in 1993 to support local public safety services. Revenues are restricted for public safety purposes and are used primarily to offset law enforcement and other eligible public safety expenditures.
For the City of Riverbank, these revenues are used to partially fund contracted law enforcement services provided through the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office.

System Development Funds
System Development Funds are collected through development impact fees assessed on new construction projects within the City. These fees are intended to ensure that new development pays its fair share for the public infrastructure and facilities needed to support community growth.
The revenues from System Development Funds are legally restricted and may only be used to finance capital improvements related to the impacts of new development. This includes infrastructure such as streets, parks, public safety facilities, water and sewer systems, and other public services identified in the City’s development impact fee program.
By using System Development Funds, the City is able to maintain a high level of service and infrastructure quality without placing the financial burden on existing residents and businesses.

Housing Funds
The City’s Housing Funds are used to support affordable housing development, preservation, rehabilitation, and homelessness prevention efforts. These funds are comprised of federal, state, and local sources, including:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG): A federal program that provides funding for a wide range of community development activities, including housing rehabilitation, public infrastructure improvements, and services for low- and moderate-income residents.
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME): A federal grant that supports the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income households.
CalHome: A state-funded program that assists low- and very low-income households through activities such as first-time homebuyer assistance and owner-occupied housing rehabilitation.
Transitional Housing Funds: Local or grant-funded programs that provide temporary housing and supportive services to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness or unstable housing conditions.
These Housing Funds are restricted in use and must be spent in accordance with federal and state regulations.
They play a critical role in advancing the City’s goals to increase affordable housing opportunities, support vulnerable populations, and improve the quality of life for low- and moderate-income residents.

Sewer Enterprise Funds
The Sewer Funds support the operation, maintenance, and long-term sustainability of the City’s wastewater system. These funds ensure the safe collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations. The Sewer Funds are divided into the following key components:
Operations and Maintenance (O&M): This portion of the fund covers the day-to-day costs of running the City’s sewer system, including staffing, equipment, utilities, routine maintenance, inspections, and emergency repairs.
Debt Service: This fund is used to repay outstanding debt issued for major sewer infrastructure improvements, such as treatment plant upgrades or system expansions. Payments include both principal and interest and are scheduled according to bond or loan agreements.
Capital Outlay: This fund supports the planning, design, and construction of significant capital projects, such as replacing aging pipelines, upgrading pump stations, or expanding treatment capacity. Capital investments ensure the reliability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance of the wastewater system.
Sewer Connection Fee Fund: This fund accounts for fees paid by new customers to connect to the City’s water system. These fees help cover the cost of physical connections, meters, inspections, and other onetime services required to bring a property online.
System Development Fees (Sewer Impact Fees): These fees are collected from new development to fund infrastructure improvements required to accommodate system growth. These restricted funds help ensure that growth pays its fair share of system expansion costs, rather than burdening existing ratepayers.
Together, these funds enable the City to provide reliable wastewater services, protect public health and the environment, and plan for future capacity needs as the community grows.

Water Enterprise Funds
The City’s Water Funds are used to manage and support the delivery of safe, reliable drinking water to residents and businesses. These funds are divided into specific categories to ensure accountability and long-term sustainability of the water system:
Water Operations Fund: This fund supports the daily operation and maintenance of the City’s water supply and distribution systems. Expenses include staffing, utilities, water treatment, system repairs, testing, regulatory compliance, and customer service functions.
Water Capital Improvement Fund: This fund is used to finance major infrastructure upgrades, replacements, and system expansions. Projects may include well development, water main replacements, storage facilities, and upgrades to ensure water quality and reliability. These projects are typically identified in the City’s capital improvement plan.
Water Connection Fee Fund: This fund accounts for fees paid by new customers to connect to the City’s water system. These fees help cover the cost of physical connections, meters, inspections, and other onetime services required to bring a property online.
Water System Development Fee Fund: This fund receives development impact fees collected from new construction to offset the costs of expanding the City’s water system. These fees are restricted in use and must be spent on infrastructure improvements that increase system capacity and ensure adequate service for future growth.
Together, these funds ensure the City's water system remains safe, efficient, and capable of supporting both current demands and future development.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 11.2.
SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 6/23/2026
Subject: Resolution Considering the Approval of a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Riverbank and Opportunity Stanislaus for Economic Development Services for the 2026-27 Fiscal Year
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Marisela Garcia, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council provide direction on continuing the partnership with Opportunity Stanislaus. Should Council desire to continue this partnership, a Resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding with Opportunity Stanislaus for Economic Development Services has been prepared for adoption.
SUMMARY
The existing Memorandum of Understanding with Opportunity Stanislaus is expiring as of June 30, 2026. The proposed Memorandum of Understanding is for a one-year term expiring June 30, 2027.
Should Council desire to continue the partnership with Opportunity Stanislaus, a Resolution has been prepared authorizing the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item would support the City Council's Strategic Plan Goal to "Support Downtown Revitalization & Economic Development."
BACKGROUND
The City of Riverbank and Opportunity Stanislaus have been partners (through similar MOU agreements) for many years. From 2002-2013 the City partnered with the Stanislaus Business Alliance, whose goal was to create a blueprint for success to make Stanislaus County the strategic business choice for existing and expanding businesses by focusing on job creation, business assistance, and workforce preparation activities. Re-branded as Opportunity Stanislaus, they have taken the lead on a variety of regional and City-specific economic development initiatives over the years. Opportunity Stanislaus also provides resources for a variety of Stanislaus County Businesses through their Small Business Development Center. Additionally, Stanislaus County has established the VOLT Institute which provides critical job training services directed toward manufacturing type employment of which great need exists within our region.
In 2021, Opportunity Stanislaus undertook a strategic plan update which was designed to enhance, add and shift priorities for the organization. Opportunity Stanislaus had detailed within their MOU a variety of services to be provided as part of the agreement. Some of those services were regional (county-wide) while others are Riverbank specific. Along with the updated MOU, the City’s
Item 11.2. - CC / LRA – 6/23/2026
contribution towards this economic development effort increased from $10,000 to $25,000 per year. The 2021 MOU was a five-year agreement which ends June 30, 2026.
With the lack of our own Economic Development staff the City has relied on the services of Opportunity Stanislaus to assist our local businesses, who are also expanding and growing, by offering workshops and funding opportunities. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Opportunity Stanislaus assisted the City by overseeing the administration of grant funds towards the Riverbank Business Assistance Grant Program. The City allocated an initial $250,000 from CARES Act Funding received from Stanislaus County to provide small business grants designed to cover operational expenses for businesses that experienced a decline in revenue due to the pandemic closures. Opportunity Stanislaus was instrumental in overseeing the marketing, application receipt, application screening, and performing a preliminary analysis of the applications. Ultimately, the City was able to award $360,000 in grant funds thanks to the efforts by Opportunity Stanislaus.
With the assistance of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), the City has offered workshops to local businesses to inform and provide training on topics such as funding opportunities, Social Media 101 for Small Businesses, and the Introduction to Business 101 workshop. In addition, SBDC has partnered with the Riverbank Chamber of Commerce to provide training such as Taxes 101 for Businesses and has hosted the Business 101 Cohort for individuals interested in starting a business. Councilmember Uribe has also hosted a Small Business meeting with the assistance of SBDC. Council member Call was invited to join SBDC in visits to small businesses in downtown Riverbank for outreach and education on what SBDC can offer.
MOU REVIEW
During the FY 2025-26 Budget Workshop, a majority of the City Council requested a review of the existing MOU with Opportunity Stanislaus to allow for an evaluation of the services being provided. Dave White, CEO of Opportunity Stanislaus, presented on the topic and shared information on its partnership with the City at the September 9, 2025 meeting. Since then, Council member Call and the City Manager have met with the CEO to discuss programs and opportunities that would be of benefit to the City. These meetings yielded a listing of "Programs and Opportunities" that Opportunity Stanislaus and the City could partner on that focused on topics such as:
• Downtown Revitalization & Small Business Growth
• Industrial & Commercial Development
• Workforce & Education Partnerships
• Housing & Development Support
• Infrastructure & Innovation Support
• Communication & Reporting
• Fiscal Sustainability & Accountability
Based on feedback received from Council at the September 23, 2025 meeting staff proceeded with evaluating and/or implementing recommended programs such as:
1. Development of the VOLT Institute Scholarship Guidelines
2. Two City Employees attending VOLT Institute
3. Meetings with City Staff to discuss development opportunities
4. Workshops, Brew & Builds, at the Riverbank Industrial Complex (RIC)
Item 11.2. - CC / LRA – 6/23/2026
5. VOLT on the Go opportunities at Sierra House, and upcoming opportunities to host VOLT on the GO at the RIC and Scout Hall.
OPTIONS
Should the City Council desire to not move forward with an MOU with Opportunity Stanislaus, the City Council may direct staff to investigate other potential options for Economic Development Services, such as expanded partnerships with local Chambers of Commerce, or investing in capacity building with internal staff.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City would agree to compensate Opportunity Stanislaus the amount of $25,000 for services rendered uder this MOU. The cost paid under the previous MOU was also $25,000 which was paid annually from the General Fund. Under the new MOU, this cost would be paid quarterly upon the receipt of the City-approved quarterly reports.
Should the City Council not move forward with approving the Memorandum of Understanding, these funds can be designated towards another Economic Development Services option.

SECTION : NEW BUSINESS
Meeting Date: 6/23/2026
Subject: Resolution to Award a Professional Services Agreement for the Comprehensive Water Utility Rate Study to LT Municipal Consultants.
From: Marisela H. Garcia, City Manager
Submitted by: Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDATION
City Council to consider adopting a Resolution approving a Professional Services Agreement with LT Municipal Consultants for the preparation of a Comprehensive Water Utility Rate Study in an amount not to exceed $55,740 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
SUMMARY
The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified consulting firms to conduct a Comprehensive Water Utility Rate Study. The study will evaluate the City's existing water rates and financial condition and develop recommendations to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Water Enterprise Fund while maintaining compliance with Proposition 218 and other applicable regulations. Preparation of this Study does not bind the City Council to any implementation of updated rates, but will provide the data necessary to consider the health and sustainability of the Water Enterprise Fund.
The scope of work includes development of a ten-year financial plan, cost-of-service analysis, fiveyear rate implementation plan, reserve policy recommendations, review of connection and capacity fees, evaluation of the Utility Rate Assistance Program (URAP), development of a City-owned financial model, and support for the Proposition 218 process.
Staff received five proposals from qualified firms. Following a comprehensive review of the proposals and interviews with selected firms, LT Municipal Consultants was identified as the highest-ranked firm. Staff recommends awarding the contract to LT Municipal Consultants in an amount not to exceed $55,740.
STRATEGIC PLAN
This item supports the City Council's Strategic Plan goal of Prioritize Financial Stability by ensuring that water utility rates are sufficient to support ongoing operations, infrastructure investment, regulatory compliance, and reserve funding while maintaining long-term fiscal sustainability.
Item 11.3. - CC / LRA – 6/23/2026
BACKGROUND
The City of Riverbank operates a municipal water utility serving approximately 7,650 service connections. Water rates have not been adjusted since 2019, and the City's last comprehensive water rate study was completed in 2015.
Since the completion of the last study, the water utility industry has experienced significant changes, including increased operating costs, inflationary pressures, groundwater sustainability requirements, emerging PFAS regulations, aging infrastructure needs, and increased costs associated with maintaining and replacing critical facilities. The City is also evaluating future capital investments, including development of a new groundwater well, storage improvements, treatment upgrades, and other system improvements necessary to maintain reliable service.
Recognizing the need to evaluate current rates and establish a long-term financial plan, the City released a Request for Proposals on March 24, 2026, for a Comprehensive Water Utility Rate Study.
Proposals were due on April 21, 2026.
A total of five proposals were received and evaluated based on qualifications, experience, project approach, project team, references, cost proposal, and interview performance. Following proposal evaluations and consultant interviews, LT Municipal Consultants was identified as the firm best qualified to perform the work.
LT Municipal Consultants specializes in financial planning, utility rate studies, and Proposition 218 compliance services for California public agencies. The firm's proposal demonstrated extensive experience completing water utility rate studies for cities and special districts throughout California, including several Central Valley agencies facing challenges similar to those of Riverbank. Their proposed scope of work closely aligns with the City's objectives and includes a comprehensive review of financial planning, reserve policies, connection and capacity fees, drought rate planning, URAP evaluation, and public outreach.
The proposed project includes:
• Development of a ten-year financial plan and cash flow model; • Cost-of-service and rate design analysis;
• Five-year rate implementation plan;
• Review and recommendations regarding reserve policies; • Connection and capacity fee analysis;
• Utility Rate Assistance Program (URAP) evaluation;
• Proposition 218 support and public outreach assistance; • Development of a fully functional Excel-based financial model for City use; and • Staff training and City Council presentations.
Pending City Council approval, staff anticipates executing the agreement in July 2026 and conducting a project kickoff meeting in mid-to-late July 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The proposed Professional Services Agreement with LT Municipal Consultants is in an amount not to exceed $55,740.
Funding for this project is included in the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-27 Water Fund budget.
Item 11.3. - CC / LRA – 6/23/2026
Completion of the study will provide the City with a financial roadmap for maintaining the long-term sustainability of the Water Enterprise Fund and funding future capital and regulatory requirements.

Services
9 The City last completed a rate study in 2015. The regulatory and economic landscape has changed significantly since then. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) has impacted how agencies manage their water resources. Supply chain issues during the Covid 19 pandemic have increased costs at a time when many public agencies were hesitant to raise rates. Nearly all public agencies in California are struggling to address renewal of aging infrastructure. Moreover, the courts have recently taken a more strict interpretation of Proposition 218’s proportionality requirements and have ruled against the tiered rates of the Otay Water District and the City of San Diego. While the City does not have tiered water rates, these rulings signal greater scrutiny of utility issues. LTMC will set the stage for your stakeholders by explaining these regulatory issues and associated costs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SCHEDULE
Our approach to our work is simple – we roll up our sleeves and get the job done. When initiating a project, it’s impossible to know every twist and turn an assignment may take. Unexpected issues may arise, out of scope tasks may be required, and political sensitivities may become uncovered. We understand the challenges of having limited public agency staff and limited City budgets to accomplish policy goals. LTMC provides a high degree of administrative support to our clients. We will provide start-to-finish project management from data collection to managing the project schedule, organizing meetings and providing minutes, drafting preliminary and final documents, and conducting internal and external outreach. LTMC has a proven track record in your area – we have completed three Proposition 218 rate studies for the City of Waterford.
We understand that the City would like new rates implemented January 1, 2027. During project initiation, we will finalize the schedule and set deliverables by working backwards from the desired Proposition 218 hearing date, likely in December 2026. It is key that our final deliverables are easy for the City to understand and implement. We propose to organize our cash flows based on existing budget categories to allow for the easy import or export of data between documents. LTMC also structures our reports with reader-friendly executive summaries to allow the general public to grasp key concepts.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
The fundamental objective for this rate study is to provide compliance with legal requirements while ensuring that the City’s water utility is self-sufficient. Our approach is to analyze revenue streams to meet immediate cash flow needs as well as plan for future capital projects. We understand that the City’s most recent water rate study was completed in 2015. Like many other California utilities, the City is facing more stringent regulations and has aging infrastructure that requires increased operating expenses and capital investment.
4. PROJECT APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
10 For the City of Riverbank, we will provide a comprehensive review of the Water Enterprise Fund’s finances, including current and future operating and maintenance costs, capital improvement projects, reserve balances, and required debt coverage. We will provide the City with multiple cash flow alternatives that will clearly illustrate how various considerations such as high vs. low inflation, high vs. low capital improvement costs, and maintaining high vs. low reserves among others will impact water cash flows. LTMC will work closely with the City to determine which financial parameters are most important (rate impacts, accumulating reserves, funding capital projects, etc.) and incorporate them into our alternatives.
RATE DESIGN
The City’s current rate structure includes a fixed base charge that varies by meter size plus a uniform volumetric charge for consumption above the base water allotment of 7,480 gallons. We recommend the City continue to use a uniform water rate structure consistent with recent legal rulings (San Diego; Otay Water District). However, LTMC recommends reducing or phasing out “free” water included in the base fee to meet the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218 and promote equity for low water users. We recently completed water rate studies for the cities of Kingsburg and Wasco, the Calaveras Public Utility District, and several service areas within Lake County to eliminate or reduce their base allotments and are very familiar with this process.
LTMC understands that the City wants to evaluate the sustainability of its Utility Rate Assistance Program (URAP) as part of the rate study. The current URAP provides discounted rates to qualifying senior and disabled customers based on income eligibility. The program is funded through penalty fees collected by the utility. Under Proposition 218 requirements, rates must be cost-based and agencies cannot overcharge one group of customers to provide a discount to others. As part of our analysis, LTMC will review the number of customers receiving the discount, the administrative costs of providing the discount, and the total revenue needed for the program.
We also understand that a key component of the rate study will be developing a conservation pricing program to fully recover costs during water shortages. We are also well equipped to incorporate the City’s anticipated groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) costs and compliance into the rate structure.
We have conducted rate, fee, and/or Proposition 218 outreach activities for several GSAs in the Central Valley including the Kings River East GSA (Fresno and Tulare Counties), the McMullin Area GSA (Fresno County), and the South Fork Kings GSA (Kings County). We understand how cities and GSAs work together to manage groundwater recharge and share costs.
11 PUBLIC OUTREACH
Under Proposition 218 procedural
requirements, property owners can block rate
increases via a majority protest. Smaller public
agencies are particularly vulnerable as it is
easier for angry ratepayers to organize an
opposition and gather protests. LTMC will
prepare clear, informative, and visually
appealing public materials to support
transparency and build support from
ratepayers. These materials will be tailored for
distribution through the City’s website, printed
handouts, presentation decks, mailers, etc.
Typical public materials include Presentation
Slides, Reports, Rate Surveys, Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs), Ballots, or Notices of Public
Hearing.
During project kickoff, we will work with the City to develop a communication plan. We will work with the City to gain an understanding of any objections to prior rate adjustments and to identify specific customer groups who have a high level of engagement with the City. LTMC will determine a list of key stakeholders including City Council members, business groups, and others. As a second step, we will determine appropriate outreach via social media, print media, community meetings and/or one-on-one meetings with City Council members. LTMC has conducted a wide range of outreach activities and will bring our experience to the City of Riverbank.
REQUESTED PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY
LTMC understands that the rate study process can be burdensome for public agencies. Our goal is to take on as many administrative tasks as possible to streamline the study. LTMC will be responsible for all project analysis and the preparation of meeting and presentation materials for project team and City Council meetings. Expected time commitment and information required from City staff can be estimated based on the following tasks:
o Respond to LTMC’s data request consisting of items such as: budgets, audits, utility billing data, and capital improvement plans
o Attend kickoff and progress meetings (agenda and materials will be provided in advance) o Review and comment upon draft and final reports
o Review by the City’s legal counsel on recommendations, reports, and procedures o Discuss any political sensitivities or issues that may hinder fee adoption o Coordinate and schedule meetings with the City Council and/or stakeholders Recorded presentation with thumbnail overlay
provided by LTMC for a social media posting.

Prop 218
Task 1 – Project Kickoff and Data Gathering
Kickoff Meeting
LTMC will conduct a kickoff meeting with City staff to review study goals, milestones, identify project team members, determine roles and responsibilities, and discuss data needs.
Data Gathering
Assemble the necessary data to complete the study. Wherever possible, LTMC will aggregate available information from the City’s website and other public sources. The goal is to understand the City’s financial standing, current rate structure, and utility billing information. A data needs list will be provided to the City prior to the kickoff call.
Task 2 – Financial Plan
Annual Revenue Requirements
With staff input, we will estimate future operating and capital expenditures to estimate annual revenue needs. We will factor in projections of growth, repairs and replacements, capital financing needs, debt obligations, cost escalation, water use, regulatory compliance, and operational changes to ensure that all future expenses are included. LTMC will work with the City to determine appropriate inflationary increases.
Review Reserve Fund Targets
This subtask involves reviewing the current operating and capital reserve balances and evaluating reserve targets for emergency reserves, rate stability reserves, long term capital reserves, short term capital reserves, or other categories as appropriate. At minimum, our analysis will review the age and condition of the system, annual depreciation costs, and expenses related to emergencies.
13 Evaluate Debt Service Coverage
LTMC will review budgets, audits, and disclosure documents to understand existing debt obligations.
We will determine current coverage ratios based on net operating revenues compared to annual debt service expenses. We will also evaluate if the utility has capacity to take on new debt at the current revenues. Our final rate recommendations will include projections to meet coverage requirements in the years to come.
Review Capital Improvement Needs
Our cash flow analysis will isolate the impacts of
capital funding separate from increases needed to
fund other utility expenses. Typically, LTMC
suggests three capital funding scenarios: 1) bare
bones: fund only critical improvements, 2) priority
funding: fund critical projects plus high-priority,
level of service improvements, and 3) full funding:
fund all proposed projects. We will work with the
City to determine project affordability and adjust
our rate recommendations accordingly. LTMC will review various financing options to fund capital needs, including pay-as-you-go/cash funding and other debt financing alternatives, such as State loans/grants, bank loans, and certificates of participation/bonds.
Cash Flow Projections
Annual revenue requirements and capital funding needs will be used to develop long-term cash flow projections summarizing the financial position of the Water Enterprise Fund over the next 10 years. The cash flow projections will estimate rate increases needed to meet annual revenue requirements, debt obligations, and reserve fund targets.
Sensitivity Analysis
Based on input from the project team, LTMC will incorporate rate sensitivity analysis to determine affordability. We will determine rate impacts under various scenarios, possibly including cash funding of projects, debt funding of projects, increased regulatory costs, etc. Sensitivity analysis can often become an iterative process. LTMC is flexible to run additional scenarios as needed.
Task 3 – Cost Allocation
Evaluate Customer Billing Data
We will evaluate historical and current water consumption, customer counts, and other billing data to estimate future water demands. A key aspect of this task is to determine the amount of water use and revenue collected from fixed meter fees and volumetric charges.
Functionalize Costs
Functionalization is the allocation of expenses by major operating activities including water supply, peak pumping, treatment, storage, transmission, overhead, and administration.
14 Allocation to Customer Classes
After costs have been categorized by function, costs are then allocated to each customer class based on water demand characteristics. The result produces revenue requirements for each customer class which can be recovered via fixed charges and volume rates. The allocation to customer classes will be based on industry best practices and meet the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218.
Task 4 – Rate Design
Assess Current Rate Structure and Customer Classifications Review the current rate structure and customer classifications to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the existing system and to determine compliance with industry standards and court rulings. While compliance with Proposition 218 will guide all our recommendations, additional criteria may include: the impact on customer bills, public understanding, revenue stability, ease of implementation, compatibility with the existing billing system, and staff effort needed for administration.
Rate Alternatives
Based on the criteria developed with staff and the cost allocation, we will identify alternative rate structures or modifications to the current rate structure as appropriate. Our primary goal for this task is to ensure the City’s rate structure complies with all legal requirements.
We will evaluate whether any modifications to the
rate structure such as a revision of the base water
allotment are warranted. LTMC will ensure that any
rate structure modifications, including those to
drought rates and the City’s Utility Rate Assistance
Program, are cost-justified and based on the City’s
operation of the water system, cost of water supply,
and consumption patterns. Drought rates will be designed to fund the City’s cost of water service even during cutback scenarios.
If modifications to the current rate structure are needed or desired, we will work with the project team to minimize the impact on ratepayers and clearly explain why the changes are needed. We will outline the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Additionally, we will take into consideration staff’s time and capabilities to administer any changes and will ensure the City’s billing system can accommodate proposed rate structure adjustments.
This task includes a legal review of current and proposed rate design alternatives. As needed, we will coordinate with the City’s legal counsel. For the final study, we will present rate structure options that both meet the City’s needs and relevant legal requirements. LTMC will compare all our estimates and recommendations with those used by other local entities.
15 Bill Impacts and Rate Affordability
Based on the recommended rates, LTMC
will calculate the bill impacts for a sample of
typical customers including both residential
and commercial customer classifications. If
needed, LTMC will develop an
implementation plan to phase-in adjustments
to ease the impact on customers.
Finalize Recommendations
Our final rate recommendations will include
a five-year plan of proposed rates. The final
plan will show projected monthly rates for
each customer class for each year.
Task 5 – Connection Fees
Concurrent with the water rate study, LTMC proposes to review and update the City’s connection (capacity) fees. We will review potential future development in the community and the need to expand capacity. We will work with City staff and engineers to determine the cost of facilities needed to accommodate new customers. Most often, the value of facilities includes both a buy-in to existing facilities that have available capacity plus an expansion component for facilities that must be upsized to meet the needs of growth. The cost of facilities is divided by the capacity of those facilities to determine the connection fee. As needed, LTMC will scale the fees for various types of development such as multifamily residential, accessory dwelling units, and commercial customers. To complete our work, we will provide the City with a comprehensive report and assist with fee adoption.
Task 6 – Reports & Model
Submit a draft summary report for review and feedback. The report will summarize findings and recommendations and discuss key alternatives when applicable. We will then incorporate all staff comments and update recommendations accordingly. The final report will reflect input received from staff and the City Council. Our reports are intended to serve as the administrative record and will be compliant with Propositions 218 and 26. All study materials including the draft and final reports will be submitted to the City in their native format (Word, PowerPoint, etc.). LTMC does not use any specialized software. As part of this task we will submit our active, fully linked Excel-based financial model and provide a staff training session.
Survey of Local Rates
We will prepare a survey comparing the
City’s current and proposed residential utility
bills to nearby agencies. The survey will be
summarized in tables and charts that can be
used for outreach, presentations, and the final
report. We will also prepare bill comparisons
for different customer classes if requested.
The final list of surveyed agencies will be
determined by the City.
16 Task 7 – Meetings, Presentations & Proposition 218
To begin the study, LTMC will hold a kickoff meeting with the project team as described in Task 1. As needed throughout the study, LTMC proposes to conduct virtual progress meetings with the project team to review progress, answer questions, and revise the calculations. In-person meetings will include two (2) presentations with the City Council to present draft and final results and one (1) public meeting to conduct the Proposition 218 hearing. We are also available to attend one (1) public outreach meeting if desired. Our project team will provide comprehensive meeting management including preparing agendas and submitting minutes and action items. Before each public meeting, LTMC will provide draft PowerPoint files to staff for review before our presentation materials are made public. As part of this task, LTMC will also draft the Proposition 218 notice and translate the notice into Spanish or other languages. We recommend public agencies use the Proposition 218 notice as an outreach opportunity to explain why the rate adjustments are needed and to highlight what has been done to help reduce costs.

Tammy Alcantor, Assistant City Manager-Admin Services Director City of Riverbank
6707 Third Street
Riverbank, CA 95367
Dear Ms. Alcantor,
LT Municipal Consultants (LTMC) is pleased to submit this Proposal for a Comprehensive Water Utility Rate Study to the City of Riverbank (City). LTMC is a woman-owned firm that focuses on financial planning, rate and fee studies, and management consulting for California public agencies. Firm Principal Alison Lechowicz has nearly 20 years of experience in municipal consulting and public finance. Our staff have completed over 150 studies compliant with Propositions 218 and 26, with a focus on agencies serving populations of 30,000 or fewer. Ms. Lechowicz was born and raised in San Joaquin County and enjoys working with communities throughout the Central Valley.
LTMC has substantial experience providing rate studies and financial planning for public agencies in your region. In February, we held a successful Proposition 218 Hearing to adopt new water rates for the City of Waterford. We also worked with the City of Waterford in 2019 and 2024 to complete sewer rate studies. Other recent municipal water rate study assignments we have completed include rate studies for the Cities of Kingsburg, Chowchilla, Kerman, Live Oak, the Root Creek Water District (Madera County), the Linda County Water District, and the Calaveras Public Utility District. We will bring this experience to our work with the City of Riverbank.
LTMC’s technical approach is as follows:
o Financial Analysis: We understand that the City’s water rates have not increased since 2019.
The economic landscape has changed significantly since then due to the Covid 19 pandemic, high inflation, and continued roll out of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) requirements. LTMC will analyze how these factors impact the Water Fund’s financial standing.
We will evaluate revenue streams to meet immediate cash flow needs as well as plan for future capital projects, deferred maintenance, debt repayment, and accumulation of appropriate reserves. We will provide the City with a financial roadmap that clearly illustrates how various considerations such as high vs. low capital improvement costs and various funding assumptions (such as grant vs. loan funding) will impact utility cash flows. 909 Marina Village Parkway #135

1. COVER LETTER
2 o Rate Design: Key aspects of rate design for the study will be to determine cost recovery from fixed and volumetric rates. LTMC will clearly document fixed and variable costs and how these costs can be recovered from rates while achieving compliance with Proposition 218 proportionality requirements. Our analysis will clearly demonstrate how the City’s rates are proportional to how customers take service. We will provide rate options such as revising or phasing-out the City’s base water allotment. We will also provide a schedule of drought rates for water shortage emergencies and advise the City on potential cost passthroughs and/or automatic inflationary increases. Our final recommendations will achieve policy goals while considering affordability and the impacts to both high and low water users. o Connection and Capacity Fees: Concurrent with the rate study, LTMC proposes to review and update the City’s connection and capacity fees. LTMC will work with City staff and engineers to determine the cost of facilities needed to accommodate new customers. Most often, the value of facilities includes both a buy-in to existing facilities that have available capacity plus an expansion component for facilities that must be upsized to meet the needs of growth.
We will provide the City with a comprehensive fee report and assist with fee adoption. o Public Outreach: Building consensus will be a key component of the rate study process, particularly since the water rates have not increased in over six years. LTMC will assist City staff with drafting Proposition 218 notices, preparing materials for website and social media postings, and conducting outreach to City Council members and ratepayers. Our final documents and outreach materials will stress the value of the City’s infrastructure, explain why costs are increasing, and describe cost saving measures.
We would very much like to work with the City, and we hope this proposal will constitute a suitable basis for our selection. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
LT Municipal Consultants

REPRESENTATIVE ASSIGNMENTS
9 The City last completed a rate study in 2015. The regulatory and economic landscape has changed significantly since then. The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) has impacted how agencies manage their water resources. Supply chain issues during the Covid 19 pandemic have increased costs at a time when many public agencies were hesitant to raise rates. Nearly all public agencies in California are struggling to address renewal of aging infrastructure. Moreover, the courts have recently taken a more strict interpretation of Proposition 218’s proportionality requirements and have ruled against the tiered rates of the Otay Water District and the City of San Diego. While the City does not have tiered water rates, these rulings signal greater scrutiny of utility issues. LTMC will set the stage for your stakeholders by explaining these regulatory issues and associated costs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT & SCHEDULE
Our approach to our work is simple – we roll up our sleeves and get the job done. When initiating a project, it’s impossible to know every twist and turn an assignment may take. Unexpected issues may arise, out of scope tasks may be required, and political sensitivities may become uncovered. We understand the challenges of having limited public agency staff and limited City budgets to accomplish policy goals. LTMC provides a high degree of administrative support to our clients. We will provide start-to-finish project management from data collection to managing the project schedule, organizing meetings and providing minutes, drafting preliminary and final documents, and conducting internal and external outreach. LTMC has a proven track record in your area – we have completed three Proposition 218 rate studies for the City of Waterford.
We understand that the City would like new rates implemented January 1, 2027. During project initiation, we will finalize the schedule and set deliverables by working backwards from the desired Proposition 218 hearing date, likely in December 2026. It is key that our final deliverables are easy for the City to understand and implement. We propose to organize our cash flows based on existing budget categories to allow for the easy import or export of data between documents. LTMC also structures our reports with reader-friendly executive summaries to allow the general public to grasp key concepts.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
The fundamental objective for this rate study is to provide compliance with legal requirements while ensuring that the City’s water utility is self-sufficient. Our approach is to analyze revenue streams to meet immediate cash flow needs as well as plan for future capital projects. We understand that the City’s most recent water rate study was completed in 2015. Like many other California utilities, the City is facing more stringent regulations and has aging infrastructure that requires increased operating expenses and capital investment.
4. PROJECT APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
10 For the City of Riverbank, we will provide a comprehensive review of the Water Enterprise Fund’s finances, including current and future operating and maintenance costs, capital improvement projects, reserve balances, and required debt coverage. We will provide the City with multiple cash flow alternatives that will clearly illustrate how various considerations such as high vs. low inflation, high vs. low capital improvement costs, and maintaining high vs. low reserves among others will impact water cash flows. LTMC will work closely with the City to determine which financial parameters are most important (rate impacts, accumulating reserves, funding capital projects, etc.) and incorporate them into our alternatives.
RATE DESIGN
The City’s current rate structure includes a fixed base charge that varies by meter size plus a uniform volumetric charge for consumption above the base water allotment of 7,480 gallons. We recommend the City continue to use a uniform water rate structure consistent with recent legal rulings (San Diego; Otay Water District). However, LTMC recommends reducing or phasing out “free” water included in the base fee to meet the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218 and promote equity for low water users. We recently completed water rate studies for the cities of Kingsburg and Wasco, the Calaveras Public Utility District, and several service areas within Lake County to eliminate or reduce their base allotments and are very familiar with this process.
LTMC understands that the City wants to evaluate the sustainability of its Utility Rate Assistance Program (URAP) as part of the rate study. The current URAP provides discounted rates to qualifying senior and disabled customers based on income eligibility. The program is funded through penalty fees collected by the utility. Under Proposition 218 requirements, rates must be cost-based and agencies cannot overcharge one group of customers to provide a discount to others. As part of our analysis, LTMC will review the number of customers receiving the discount, the administrative costs of providing the discount, and the total revenue needed for the program.
We also understand that a key component of the rate study will be developing a conservation pricing program to fully recover costs during water shortages. We are also well equipped to incorporate the City’s anticipated groundwater sustainability agency (GSA) costs and compliance into the rate structure.
We have conducted rate, fee, and/or Proposition 218 outreach activities for several GSAs in the Central Valley including the Kings River East GSA (Fresno and Tulare Counties), the McMullin Area GSA (Fresno County), and the South Fork Kings GSA (Kings County). We understand how cities and GSAs work together to manage groundwater recharge and share costs.
11 PUBLIC OUTREACH
Under Proposition 218 procedural
requirements, property owners can block rate
increases via a majority protest. Smaller public
agencies are particularly vulnerable as it is
easier for angry ratepayers to organize an
opposition and gather protests. LTMC will
prepare clear, informative, and visually
appealing public materials to support
transparency and build support from
ratepayers. These materials will be tailored for
distribution through the City’s website, printed
handouts, presentation decks, mailers, etc.
Typical public materials include Presentation
Slides, Reports, Rate Surveys, Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs), Ballots, or Notices of Public
Hearing.
During project kickoff, we will work with the City to develop a communication plan. We will work with the City to gain an understanding of any objections to prior rate adjustments and to identify specific customer groups who have a high level of engagement with the City. LTMC will determine a list of key stakeholders including City Council members, business groups, and others. As a second step, we will determine appropriate outreach via social media, print media, community meetings and/or one-on-one meetings with City Council members. LTMC has conducted a wide range of outreach activities and will bring our experience to the City of Riverbank.
REQUESTED PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY
LTMC understands that the rate study process can be burdensome for public agencies. Our goal is to take on as many administrative tasks as possible to streamline the study. LTMC will be responsible for all project analysis and the preparation of meeting and presentation materials for project team and City Council meetings. Expected time commitment and information required from City staff can be estimated based on the following tasks:
o Respond to LTMC’s data request consisting of items such as: budgets, audits, utility billing data, and capital improvement plans
o Attend kickoff and progress meetings (agenda and materials will be provided in advance) o Review and comment upon draft and final reports
o Review by the City’s legal counsel on recommendations, reports, and procedures o Discuss any political sensitivities or issues that may hinder fee adoption o Coordinate and schedule meetings with the City Council and/or stakeholders Recorded presentation with thumbnail overlay
provided by LTMC for a social media posting.

Task 1 – Project Kickoff and Data Gathering
Kickoff Meeting
LTMC will conduct a kickoff meeting with City staff to review study goals, milestones, identify project team members, determine roles and responsibilities, and discuss data needs.
Data Gathering
Assemble the necessary data to complete the study. Wherever possible, LTMC will aggregate available information from the City’s website and other public sources. The goal is to understand the City’s financial standing, current rate structure, and utility billing information. A data needs list will be provided to the City prior to the kickoff call.
Task 2 – Financial Plan
Annual Revenue Requirements
With staff input, we will estimate future operating and capital expenditures to estimate annual revenue needs. We will factor in projections of growth, repairs and replacements, capital financing needs, debt obligations, cost escalation, water use, regulatory compliance, and operational changes to ensure that all future expenses are included. LTMC will work with the City to determine appropriate inflationary increases.
Review Reserve Fund Targets
This subtask involves reviewing the current operating and capital reserve balances and evaluating reserve targets for emergency reserves, rate stability reserves, long term capital reserves, short term capital reserves, or other categories as appropriate. At minimum, our analysis will review the age and condition of the system, annual depreciation costs, and expenses related to emergencies.
13 Evaluate Debt Service Coverage
LTMC will review budgets, audits, and disclosure documents to understand existing debt obligations.
We will determine current coverage ratios based on net operating revenues compared to annual debt service expenses. We will also evaluate if the utility has capacity to take on new debt at the current revenues. Our final rate recommendations will include projections to meet coverage requirements in the years to come.
Review Capital Improvement Needs
Our cash flow analysis will isolate the impacts of
capital funding separate from increases needed to
fund other utility expenses. Typically, LTMC
suggests three capital funding scenarios: 1) bare
bones: fund only critical improvements, 2) priority
funding: fund critical projects plus high-priority,
level of service improvements, and 3) full funding:
fund all proposed projects. We will work with the
City to determine project affordability and adjust
our rate recommendations accordingly. LTMC will review various financing options to fund capital needs, including pay-as-you-go/cash funding and other debt financing alternatives, such as State loans/grants, bank loans, and certificates of participation/bonds.
Cash Flow Projections
Annual revenue requirements and capital funding needs will be used to develop long-term cash flow projections summarizing the financial position of the Water Enterprise Fund over the next 10 years. The cash flow projections will estimate rate increases needed to meet annual revenue requirements, debt obligations, and reserve fund targets.
Sensitivity Analysis
Based on input from the project team, LTMC will incorporate rate sensitivity analysis to determine affordability. We will determine rate impacts under various scenarios, possibly including cash funding of projects, debt funding of projects, increased regulatory costs, etc. Sensitivity analysis can often become an iterative process. LTMC is flexible to run additional scenarios as needed.
Task 3 – Cost Allocation
Evaluate Customer Billing Data
We will evaluate historical and current water consumption, customer counts, and other billing data to estimate future water demands. A key aspect of this task is to determine the amount of water use and revenue collected from fixed meter fees and volumetric charges.
Functionalize Costs
Functionalization is the allocation of expenses by major operating activities including water supply, peak pumping, treatment, storage, transmission, overhead, and administration.
14 Allocation to Customer Classes
After costs have been categorized by function, costs are then allocated to each customer class based on water demand characteristics. The result produces revenue requirements for each customer class which can be recovered via fixed charges and volume rates. The allocation to customer classes will be based on industry best practices and meet the proportionality requirements of Proposition 218.
Task 4 – Rate Design
Assess Current Rate Structure and Customer Classifications Review the current rate structure and customer classifications to assess the advantages and disadvantages of the existing system and to determine compliance with industry standards and court rulings. While compliance with Proposition 218 will guide all our recommendations, additional criteria may include: the impact on customer bills, public understanding, revenue stability, ease of implementation, compatibility with the existing billing system, and staff effort needed for administration.
Rate Alternatives
Based on the criteria developed with staff and the cost allocation, we will identify alternative rate structures or modifications to the current rate structure as appropriate. Our primary goal for this task is to ensure the City’s rate structure complies with all legal requirements.
We will evaluate whether any modifications to the
rate structure such as a revision of the base water
allotment are warranted. LTMC will ensure that any
rate structure modifications, including those to
drought rates and the City’s Utility Rate Assistance
Program, are cost-justified and based on the City’s
operation of the water system, cost of water supply,
and consumption patterns. Drought rates will be designed to fund the City’s cost of water service even during cutback scenarios.
If modifications to the current rate structure are needed or desired, we will work with the project team to minimize the impact on ratepayers and clearly explain why the changes are needed. We will outline the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Additionally, we will take into consideration staff’s time and capabilities to administer any changes and will ensure the City’s billing system can accommodate proposed rate structure adjustments.
This task includes a legal review of current and proposed rate design alternatives. As needed, we will coordinate with the City’s legal counsel. For the final study, we will present rate structure options that both meet the City’s needs and relevant legal requirements. LTMC will compare all our estimates and recommendations with those used by other local entities.
15 Bill Impacts and Rate Affordability
Based on the recommended rates, LTMC
will calculate the bill impacts for a sample of
typical customers including both residential
and commercial customer classifications. If
needed, LTMC will develop an
implementation plan to phase-in adjustments
to ease the impact on customers.
Finalize Recommendations
Our final rate recommendations will include
a five-year plan of proposed rates. The final
plan will show projected monthly rates for
each customer class for each year.
Task 5 – Connection Fees
Concurrent with the water rate study, LTMC proposes to review and update the City’s connection (capacity) fees. We will review potential future development in the community and the need to expand capacity. We will work with City staff and engineers to determine the cost of facilities needed to accommodate new customers. Most often, the value of facilities includes both a buy-in to existing facilities that have available capacity plus an expansion component for facilities that must be upsized to meet the needs of growth. The cost of facilities is divided by the capacity of those facilities to determine the connection fee. As needed, LTMC will scale the fees for various types of development such as multifamily residential, accessory dwelling units, and commercial customers. To complete our work, we will provide the City with a comprehensive report and assist with fee adoption.
Task 6 – Reports & Model
Submit a draft summary report for review and feedback. The report will summarize findings and recommendations and discuss key alternatives when applicable. We will then incorporate all staff comments and update recommendations accordingly. The final report will reflect input received from staff and the City Council. Our reports are intended to serve as the administrative record and will be compliant with Propositions 218 and 26. All study materials including the draft and final reports will be submitted to the City in their native format (Word, PowerPoint, etc.). LTMC does not use any specialized software. As part of this task we will submit our active, fully linked Excel-based financial model and provide a staff training session.
Survey of Local Rates
We will prepare a survey comparing the
City’s current and proposed residential utility
bills to nearby agencies. The survey will be
summarized in tables and charts that can be
used for outreach, presentations, and the final
report. We will also prepare bill comparisons
for different customer classes if requested.
The final list of surveyed agencies will be
determined by the City.
16 Task 7 – Meetings, Presentations & Proposition 218
To begin the study, LTMC will hold a kickoff meeting with the project team as described in Task 1. As needed throughout the study, LTMC proposes to conduct virtual progress meetings with the project team to review progress, answer questions, and revise the calculations. In-person meetings will include two (2) presentations with the City Council to present draft and final results and one (1) public meeting to conduct the Proposition 218 hearing. We are also available to attend one (1) public outreach meeting if desired. Our project team will provide comprehensive meeting management including preparing agendas and submitting minutes and action items. Before each public meeting, LTMC will provide draft PowerPoint files to staff for review before our presentation materials are made public. As part of this task, LTMC will also draft the Proposition 218 notice and translate the notice into Spanish or other languages. We recommend public agencies use the Proposition 218 notice as an outreach opportunity to explain why the rate adjustments are needed and to highlight what has been done to help reduce costs.

5. RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
18 Provided below are four (4) detailed project references for municipal water rate studies. Additional references can be provided upon request.
City of Waterford
Water Rate Study (2026)
Sewer Rate Study (2019 & 2024)
The City of Waterford (City) is located in Stanislaus County with a population of approximately 9,300. The City provides water and sewer service to about 2,600 accounts. LTMC has worked with Waterford on two sewer rate studies with the most recent study completed in June 2024. More recently, LTMC completed a water rate study with a successful Proposition 218 hearing held in February 2026. Alison Lechowicz served as lead analyst and project manager for all three studies.
The City’s water system consists of three service areas. The City has operated the River Pointe system since 2005 and purchased the Hickman and Waterford systems from the City of Modesto in 2015. At the time, the water infrastructure was in poor condition, and the City has since invested over $11 million in capital projects with the goal of achieving full consolidation of the three systems in the near future. Prior to our work, the City’s most recent water rate study was completed in 2016 shortly after the City acquired the Hickman and Waterford systems, and the City had not adjusted the water rates since 2021. Rate revenues were insufficient to keep up with increasing operating costs while maintaining cash reserves which had been spent down to finance unplanned, costly repairs that were required in recent years.
The goal of LTMC’s water rate study was to develop a rate plan that will support the City’s plans to finance about $9.4 million in capital costs over the next five years. A portion of these costs will be cash-funded through rate revenues, while about $4.3 million of project costs are expected to be debt-funded using low-cost loans.
The City’s rate structure consists of a fixed monthly rate for each meter size as well as a uniform usage rate. Our study did not recommend major changes to the water rate structure, apart from combining the 3/4” and 1” meter rates into a single category reflecting current California Building Code regulations.
Ms. Lechowicz assisted the City with Proposition 218 implementation for all three studies. Activities included drafting the public notice, coordinating the mailing of the notice, consolidating the customer and property owner customer lists, and attending the public hearing.

19 City of Kingsburg
Water Rate Study (2025)
Solid Waste and Street Sweeping Rate Study (2022)
Kingsburg is a city of about 12,000
people located in Fresno County
about 20 miles southwest of the City
of Fresno. LTMC completed a solid
waste rate study for the City in 2022
and a water rate study in 2025.
Prior to our work, the Water Fund was operating at a slight deficit as the last rate study did not include costs for higher levels of water treatment or recharge projects for Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) compliance. LTMC’s study provided funding for these items as well as deferred capital projects. We also updated the City’s rates to include fees based on meter size and a volume rate that is better reflective of water supply costs. The City’s prior tiered water rate structure was out of compliance with Proposition 218 and was not indicative of actual costs to provide service. Our recommended fee structure more fairly recovers costs from large commercial water users within the City. The City received few protests and held a successful Proposition 218 hearing in May 2025. The rates were implemented by the City.
In 2022, LTMC completed a solid waste and street sweeping rate study for the City. Goals of the study consisted of bringing rates up to actual costs and achieving compliance with new organics recycling regulations. The City franchises its solid waste disposal service to Mid Valley Disposal (MVD) and Central Valley Sweeping (CVS) provides street sweeping. MVD is permitted to increase rates for each of its customer service categories annually by inflation. However, the City may only increase rates to residents as permitted by the Proposition 218 approval process.
Another major aspect of the solid waste rate study was that additional costs are expected into the future for compliance with Senate Bill (SB) 1383 – Bill to Reduce Organic Waste. MVD is offering new categories of service for commercial organics waste recycling and the City has new direct expenses for procurement of biofuels and compost. LTMC designed the rate adjustments to cover these increasing costs. The City of Kingsburg initially adopted LTMC’s rates as proposed and later lowered the rates due to grant funding that offset a portion of City costs.

20 Calaveras Public Utility District
Water Rate Study (2023)
The Calaveras Public Utility District (CPUD or District) provides treated surface water to about 2,100 accounts in the foothills of Calaveras County.
Prior to LTMC’s work, the District provided customers with a base allotment of water in the meter fee and had a declining 3-tiered rate structure. In June 2023, LTMC completed a water rate study that eliminated the base allotment, transitioned to a uniform rate structure, and provided a schedule of drought rates. LTMC also provided the printing and mailing of the Proposition 218 notice of public hearing and conducted two ratepayer outreach sessions.
The District was operating at a deficit and had issued debt in 2021 to partially fund a replacement tank at their water treatment plant project. The project was also funded with existing reserves. The proposed rate increases were developed to eliminate the operating deficit, meet debt service coverage, and to rebuild reserves over time.
The study recommended changes to the District’s existing rate structure to align them with industry standard methodologies. The existing rate structure included a base allotment of water in the fixed monthly fee plus volume rates for consumption over the base. Under Senate Bill (SB) 555, base water allotments could be considered non-revenue water and subject to auditing and/or other regulatory measures by the state. The proposed new rate structure eliminated the base allotment. The fixed monthly fees consist of a debt service charge for the tank project and a meter charge. The tiered rate structure was also eliminated so that all usage is charged a single rate.
The proposed rates also included a schedule of drought rates, which would only be implemented during a water shortage emergency. Under drought conditions, the base rate would remain the same, but volume rates would increase according to the level of water cutback.
LTMC also assisted with the Proposition 218 process. We drafted the notice of public hearing, coordinated with legal counsel for review, and conducted the printing and mailing. The rates were adopted in June 2023.

Water, Sewer, Solid Waste, and Storm Drain Rate Study (2025) Located in Madera County, the City of Chowchilla operates and maintains its water, sewer, and storm drain utilities, providing service to a population of about 19,000 residents. The City contracts with Mid Valley Disposal to provide solid waste service. June 2020, LTMC finalized a comprehensive utilities rate study for the City of Chowchilla’s water, sewer, solid waste, and storm drain enterprises.
More recently, LTMC was engaged to complete an updated utilities rate study for the City in June 2025.
At the time of LTMC’s 2020 study, rates for the solid waste and storm drain utilities had not been increased in over 10 years.
Rates for the water and sewer utilities had been updated that year, but the City was only in the second year of being fully metered, and historical consumption data was limited. A series of recommended rate adjustments for the water, sewer, and solid waste utilities were adopted through 2024/25. The City Council elected not to pursue adoption of the storm drain rates due to the administrative burden of conducting an additional balloted vote.
In 2025, LTMC finalized an updated water, sewer, and solid waste rate study for the City. A successful Proposition 218 hearing was held in June 2025. Because the City now has over five years of metered consumption data available, a key aspect of the updated study was identifying water consumption trends and estimating sewer flows for each customer class. Ultimately, our analysis revealed that major rate structure changes were not recommended.
Another main focus of our work was determining a funding strategy for the City’s water and sewer capital improvement plans. During both studies, LTMC developed three rate options for each utility based on varying levels of capital funding and presented each to the Council for input. In 2025, we further assisted the City by revising the rate plan based on new information received after the original Proposition 218 notice had been approved by the Council. We recommended reduced rates for years 2 through 5 (2026/27 through 2029/30) of the proposed rate plan after the City’s outlook for future costs had significantly improved, thus mitigating rate impacts for customers. LTMC also managed the drafting, printing, and mailing of the Proposition 218 notices in both 2020 and 2025.

22 PROJECT SCHEDULE
Provided below is LT Municipal Consultants’ draft schedule for the rate study. We understand that the City would like to implement new water rates by January 1, 2027. To meet this deadline, we propose to present the final rate study report October 13, 2026. After that meeting, the Proposition 218 notices should be mailed to allow for the required 45-day waiting period before holding the Proposition 218 hearing on December 8, 2026. We are flexible to adjust the schedule as needed. If a public outreach meeting is requested, we propose to schedule the meeting in November 2026 during the Proposition 218 waiting period.
