5 •Customer Billing (1.23% or equates to $0.42 per month increase for a 32- gallon residential cart) – Pursuant to the Agreement, beginning July 1, 2023, Recology will take over customer billing and collection of payments.

Direct billing of solid waste services by Recology will streamline customer service for residents and businesses. Currently, customers must now contact the City for billing questions and Recology for operational issues such as missed pickups and service changes. Under the new service model, Recology will be the sole point of contact for all questions related to a customer’s bill and services. Additionally, the change will reduce the workload of the City’s Finance Department by freeing up staff time from responding to customer service calls and processing payments, as well as bill collection activities. This will allow for staff to focus additional time on accounts payable and purchasing activities.
•A Franchise Fee for Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal (6.35% or equates to $2.19 per month increase for a 32-gallon residential cart) – Under the recently executed Agreement, Recology pays the City a Franchise Fee as consideration for the special privilege granted by the City to be the exclusive provider of solid waste collection services in the City, which includes its special rights to ownership of solid waste put out for collection and to keep its collection carts, bins, and containers in the public right-of-way. Recology has agreed to supplement the Franchise Fee to account for costs incurred by the City to collect solid waste through street sweeping and catch basin waste removal due to collection activities. To determine proper amount of the supplemental fee, the City retained the services of R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3). R3 prepared a cost allocation study to determine proportionate amount of the City’s street sweeping and catch basin waste removal costs that can be attributed to solid waste ratepayers. The annual costs attributable to ratepayers calculated by R3 have been included in the current rate adjustment request. This will have a positive impact on the stormwater fund’s continual negative balance as the stormwater fund is currently bearing the costs of these services. •Annual Scheduled Rate Increase per the Agreement (2.00% or equates to $0.69 per month increase for a 32-gallon residential cart) – This is the standard annual increase per the Agreement for this upcoming fiscal year to reflect annual adjustments in costs to provide the services.

As shown in Table 1 above, the total service rate adjustment is 9.58% for both residential and commercial and debris box services, to be effective July 1, 2023.

On March 14, 2023, the City Council reviewed and provided direction to staff regarding the process to set the Fiscal Year 2023-24 solid waste rates proposed by Recology. The City Council took action to authorize the rates to be set by resolution.

On April 11, 2023, City Council adopted a Resolution directing staff to initiate the property Owner Notice, Hearing and Protest Process as Required by Proposition 218 for the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Solid Waste Rate Increase Proposed by Recology San Bruno. The Public Hearing is being held at the June 13, 2023 City Council meeting to consider all protests against the proposed rates.

5 Furthermore, on April 11, 2023, City Council directed staff to proceed with drafting an amendment to the Agreement between the City of San Bruno and Recology San Bruno to incorporate a Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Collection Fee. For additional background, under the Agreement between the City and Recology, Recology pays the City a franchise fee as consideration for the special privilege granted by the City to be the exclusive provider of solid waste collection services in the City, which includes its special rights to ownership of solid waste put out for collection and to keep its collection carts, bins, and containers in the public right-of- way.

In early 2023, the City and Recology discussed modifying the franchise fee, as allowed for in the Agreement, to account for costs incurred by the City to collect solid waste through street sweeping and catch basin waste removal due to collection activities. To determine the proper amount of the fee, the City retained the services of R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3), who prepared a cost allocation study, provided as Attachment 3, to estimate the portion of the City’s costs for street sweeping and catch basin waste removal that may be eligible for cost recovery via a fee paid by the City’s solid waste service provider, Recology, pursuant to the Agreement with the City. This fee was calculated at $798,993, which encompasses $557,122 in current annual street sweeping costs, which are net of reimbursements to the City from Caltrans for the sweeping of El Camino Real, and $478,259 for catch basin waste removal costs. The fee shall be payable by Recology in equal monthly installments paid in the same manner as the Franchise Fee. The annual costs attributable to ratepayers calculated by R3 were provided to Recology and are included in the current rate adjustment recommendation.

DISCUSSION:

Table 2 below shows examples of the proposed 9.58% rate adjustment for both residential and commercial and debris box rate increases that would be effective for bills produced on or after July 1, 2023.

64-gallon cart, 1 per week $96.54 $105.79 $9.25
1-yard container, 1 per week $202.67 $222.09 $19.42
In summary, Proposition 218 requires the City Council to hold a noticed public hearing on the rates. The hearing cannot occur less than 45 days after mailing a notice of the proposed rates to the record owners of property and to the customers subject to the rates. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the City must tabulate the written protests against the proposed rates and determine if a majority protest exists. A majority protest will exist if written protests have been

5 presented, and not withdrawn, by the record owners or customers of record of a majority of the parcels subject to the rates. If a majority protest exists, the City Council cannot adopt the proposed rates.

Table 3 outlines the City’s implementation of the proposed process for considering the proposed rate adjustment effective July 1, 2023.

Table 3: Rate Setting Resolution Adoption Timeline
April 11, 2023 City Council directs staff to provide 45-day notice about proposed rates April 17, 2023 Notices mailed to start 45-day period
June 13, 2023 City Council holds public hearing, considers any protests, takes action to adopt resolution setting new rates
July 1, 2023 New Fiscal Year 2023-24 rates take effect.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The amount and explanation of the proposed rate adjustment is outlined in the Discussion section of this report. The proposed rate increase does not have a direct effect on City operations. If the Agreement Amendment is approved, the City would receive approximately $798,993, payable in equal monthly installments paid in the same manner as the Franchise Fee. The annual amount of the Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Collection Fee shall increase on July 1 of each year by: (i) during the Interim Rate Years, an amount equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), not to exceed five percent (5%), and (ii) during the Detailed Rate Years, a cost-based adjustment amount determined by the City by applying any annual CPI increase that was not included in any prior year adjustment.” This new revenue would be utilized for Public Works operation costs currently incurred by the City to collect solid waste through street sweeping and catch basin waste removal due to improper collection activities. This new revenue is proposed to reduce the General Fund expenditures for these services in Fiscal Year 2023-24.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The action is not a project subject to CEQA. City Council’s action is not considered a “project” per CEQA Guidelines and therefore no further environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Hold public hearing and consider adoption of a resolution approving the fiscal year 2023-24 rates for solid waste collection services with Recology San Bruno and approve an amendment to the solid waste collection services agreement between the city of San Bruno and Recology San Bruno to incorporate a street sweeping and catch basin collection fee.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Do not proceed with the process to adopt new rates. As part of Section 4.5.6 of the Solid Waste Collection Services Agreement, if rates are not adjusted, Recology San Bruno can negotiate with the City on collection service reductions or may terminate the Franchise Agreement.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO APPROVING AN

AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDED AND RESTATED SOLID WASTE COLLECTION

SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN BRUNO AND RECOLOGY SAN BRUNO
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of California, by enactment of the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (“Act”) and subsequent additions and amendments (codified at California Public Resources Code sections 40000 et seq.), has declared that it is in the public interest to authorize and require local agencies to make adequate provisions for solid waste collection within their jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, Section 10.20.040 of the San Bruno Municipal Code provides that the City Council may contract with a solid waste enterprise to provide solid waste collection services (the “Services”) on an exclusive basis; and
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2022, the City approved an Amended and Restated Solid Waste Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Recology San Bruno (“Recology”), which requires Recology to pay the City a Franchise Fee as consideration for the special privileges granted by the Agreement, including but not limited to the special privilege of operating as the exclusive provider of solid waste collection services in the City; and WHEREAS, the collection services Recology provides under the Agreement fail to capture all of the solid waste generated within the City, some of which therefore ends up in the City’s storm water collection system, and the City consequently bears the cost of removing such solid waste from the City’s storm water collection system through street sweeping and catch basin clearance; and
WHEREAS, the City and Recology have negotiated in good faith for the terms of an amendment to the Agreement, a copy of which is on file in the office of the City Clerk (the “Amendment”); and

SUBJECT: Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal Cost Allocation Study – Final Report

Dear Mr. Lee:

R3 Consulting Group, Inc. (R3) was asked by the City of San Bruno (City) to conduct a Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal Cost Allocation Study to estimate the portion of the City’s costs for street sweeping and catch basin waste removal that may be eligible for cost recovery via a fee paid by the City’s solid waste service provider, Recology, pursuant to its exclusive solid waste collection agreement with the City. This Report provides the results of the analysis.

This study was based on the City’s current reported costs for street sweeping and for removal and disposal of waste collected in storm drain catch basins. Using the information provided by the City, R3 calculated the proportion of these costs that may be attributed to the collection of solid waste generated within the City. The calculated annual fee amount based on our analysis is $798,993, in current year dollars. This amount can be escalated by the Consumer Price Index or other reasonable escalation factors in future years to keep up with the increasing cost of providing these services.

This analysis is based on underlying assumptions for which reasonable ranges exist, including but not limited to estimated amounts of waste collected by the City’s street sweeping and in its catch basins that might, in fact, originate from outside the City. Where feasible, we have applied conservative logic to such assumptions, meaning that the resulting calculation of attributable costs are intentionally low in order to provide for a defensible analysis.

* * * * * We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City. Should you have any questions regarding this Report or need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.

Sincerely,

Scott Hanin | Senior Vice President Jim Howison | Sr. Managing Consultant R3 Consulting Group, Inc. R3 Consulting Group, Inc. 510-812-7144 | [email protected] 925-768-244 | [email protected]

City of San Bruno | Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal Cost Allocation Study Page 2 of 4 The Nexus Between Solid Waste Collection and Street
Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal
The City maintains a storm water collection system comprised of streets, gutters, and inlets/catch basins to collect and manage storm water. Removal of solid waste from this system is important to both proper storm water control and to preventing solid waste from degrading water quality. This has been an increasingly important focus of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) over the last 10 year and is now a common storm water quality requirement for cities in the NPDES permit process.

Most of the solid waste that the City must remove from its storm water collection system is generated within the City on private and public properties, which are all generally required to subscribe to solid waste collection services from City’s exclusive solid waste service provider, Recology. The City establishes fees that subscribers must pay for Recology’s collection services in accordance with Proposition 218. Under Proposition 218, solid waste collection fees do not require voter approval but are subject to majority protest by property owners or ratepayers and require proportionality and a public hearing.

When Recology or individual waste generators do not properly manage the collection of solid waste, a percentage of the solid waste generated in the City ends up in the City’s storm water collection system, where it must be removed by the City. The City removes solid waste generated on private and public properties from its storm water collection system through street sweeping and clearing catch basins.

Street sweeping captures solid waste that ends up in public streets as a result of improper collection.

Solid waste that is not captured by street sweeping is collected in catch basins and collected when the City clears the basins. Both of these activities are an essential part of solid waste collection in the City.

Based on the nexus between street sweeping and solid waste collection, many jurisdictions fund a portion of their street sweeping costs via a fee paid by the solid waste service provider in an amount that is proportionate to the cost of providing solid waste collection services to ratepayers. Some cities (e.g., Solano Beach, Carlsbad and Signal Hill) similarly fund removal of solid waste from catch basins based on the nexus with solid waste collection through a similarly apportioned fee charged to the solid waste service provider.

Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal Costs
Street Sweeping
The City provided information to R3 documenting a total of $557,112 in current annual street sweeping costs, which are net of reimbursements to the City from CalTrans for the sweeping of El Camino Real.

The City provided information to R3 documenting a total of $478,259 in catch basin waste removal costs, which includes planned capital expenses associated with purchase and installation of new catch basin waste capture inserts ($400,000 estimated over 10 years). Total annual costs are summarized in Table 2, below.

Allocation Methodology
Street Sweeping
To determine the percentage of street sweeping costs that can be allocated to ratepayers served by Recology, the City could consider either the proportion of parcels receiving street sweeping services in the City that are attributable to ratepayers or the proportion of street sweeping miles served that are attributable to ratepayer properties.

To calculate the proportion of parcels receiving street sweeping services in the City that are attributable to ratepayers, R3 compared the number of solid waste customer accounts (10,542 accounts), which does not include school and other governmental properties, to the total number of parcels that receive the City’s street sweeping service (12,934 parcels). Based on this methodology, the City could attribute

81.5% of its total annual street sweeping costs to solid waste generated by ratepayers. This is the proportion recommended by R3 because it is the more conservative of the methodologies reviewed.

To calculate the proportion of street sweeping miles served that are attributable to ratepayer properties, R3 compared the number of street sweeping miles along residential and commercial properties (192 miles) to the total number street sweeping miles along all properties (210 miles). Based on this methodology, the City could attribute 91.4% of its total street sweeping costs to solid waste generated by ratepayers.

218 of 329

City of San Bruno | Street Sweeping and Catch Basin Waste Removal Cost Allocation Study Page 4 of 4

Both of the above allocation methodologies assume that all waste in the streets is generated within the City, and the results do not account for the possibility of waste generated outside of the City being collected via street sweeping operations. To account for this probability, R3 recommends applying a further 5% reduction factor to the allocations, which is based on City-reported figures that 17% of traffic in the City is “pass-through” traffic, and State of California figures that up to 25% of drivers litter on streets (17% times 25% yields 4.25%, which has been rounded up to 5% for the purposes of this analysis).

Applying this reduction factor yields a 77.4% allocation for the recommended methodology (81.5% times 95%) and an 86.8% allocation for the alternative methodology. This report uses the lower 77.4% allocation for calculating the proportion of street sweeping expenses to Recology’s ratepayers.

Catch Basin Waste Removal
To determine the percentage of catch basin clearance costs that can be allocated to ratepayers served by Recology, R3 compared the number of catch basins serving public streets (approximately 1,273) to the total number of catch basins in the City (1,414), which includes basins on private and public properties) .

This yields a ratio of 90%. R3 recommends applying the same 5% reduction factor to account for the possibility of waste generated from outside the City being littered on City streets. R3 further recommends applying an additional 10% reduction factor to account for the fact catch basin clearance includes removal of sediment, which is not considered to be solid waste. Application of these two reduction fac tors yields a

76.9% allocation (90% times 95% times 90%) for calculating the proportion of catch basin waste removal expenses attributable to Recology’s ratepayers.

Fee Calculation
Taking the total annual costs of street sweeping in the City ($557,122) times the allocation factor associated with street sweeping services provided to solid waste generators and ratepayers (77.4%) yields $431,212 as the proportionate allocation.

Taking the total catch basin waste removal costs in the City ($478,259) times the allocation factor associated with catch basin waste removal services provided to solid waste generators and ratepayers (76.9%) yields $367,781 as the proportionate allocation.

The total of the above yields $798,993 in costs eligible for fee recovery in fiscal year 2023-24, which may be escalated by the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index or other escalation factor to keep up with increases in costs in future years.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO

DATE: June 13, 2023
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Alex McIntyre, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY:Bobby Magee, Interim Finance Director
Peter Gilli, Community and Economic Development Director

SUBJECT:Hold Public Hearing and Consider Adopting a Resolution Approving the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24
BACKGROUND:

On June 22, 2021, the City Council adopted a User Fee Cost Recovery Policy (Resolution No. 2021-51) and an Updated User Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-22 (Resolution No. 2021-52) with the adoption of the FY 2021-22 Operating and Capital Improvement Program Budget.

The 2021 updated fee schedule was a comprehensive update based on a User Fee Study by Willdan Financial Services (Willdan). The Willdan study determined the costs incurred by the City to support the various activities for which the City charges user fees. The Willdan study determined the “fully burdened hourly rate” for each staff classification and identified the number of total staff hours and costs associated with each service provided.

There are three factors that inform the City Council action on fees in 2021, and the annual updating of these fees:

1. Cost Recovery. To achieve the City Council goal of financial sustainability, the Willdan study lists most services at full or near cost recovery. However, during study sessions on March 2 and April 29, 2021, City Council established a User Fee Cost Recovery Policy that identified the principles when the City Council would consider less than full cost recovery. A segment of the user fees in the Willdan study shows a cost recovery target of less than 100% based on City Council direction.

2. Phased Fee Increase. In numerous cases, the increase needed for a fee to go from FY 2019-20 levels to full cost recovery was significant. The City Council’s cost recovery policy calls for fees that rose between 50 and 100 percent to be phased in over two years, and fees that rose by more than 100 percent to be phased in over four years.

Next fiscal year (FY 2023-24) represents the third year in the Willdan study.

3. Annual Indexing. The Willdan study is based on FY 2021-22 costs. Resolution No. 2021- 52 directs that user fees “shall increase on July 1st of every year based upon the percentage increase for the twelve-month period of the previous calendar year of the Consumer Prices Index [CPI-U] for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco Area, as

220 of 329

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
June 13, 2023

published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.” This directs staff to index the fees to the CPI-U every fiscal year.

The combination of adopted User Fee Cost Recovery Policy, Updated User Fee Schedule and the final version of the Willdan User Fee Study provides the City with a roadmap for user fee increases through FY 2024-25. This agenda item is the annual update to the Master Fee Schedule for all City services, reflecting year three (of four) of the Willdan study, in addition to updates for various other fees, fines and penalties.

Example: Business Application Fees
Table 1 shows an excerpt of the Willdan study for Business Application Fees:

Phased fee increase. The analysis determined the processing of an out-of-town based business application fee would cost $188 in FY 2021-22. That was a significant increase over the original fee, so the fee increase was phased in over four years.

Cost recovery. The City Council approved the out-of-town based business being 100% cost recovery. The in-town based business was approved at half the cost of the out-of-town application as a benefit to local small businesses.

Annual indexing. Annual indexing of fees and fines are a financial standard practice to adjust for inflation. Per United Stated Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, the CPI-U increased by 4.2% in FY 2022-23 and by another 4.2% in FY 2023-24. Therefore, Table 2 reflects what the phased increase and indexed fee should be based on Resolution No. 2021-51 and 2021-52.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24 provides the full range of fees that the City charges to recover the cost of providing services, facility use, programs, and new development, in addition to providing various fines and penalties. The annual update reflects (1) adjustments for phased increases, (2) annual indexing, and (3) new fees.

Adjustments for Phased Increases to User Fees Based on Willdan User Fee Study FY 2023-24 is the third year of the Willdan User Fee Study. The proposed Master Fee Schedule reflects increases that were to be phased over four years by the difference between amount shown in the 2nd and 3rd years in the Willdan User Fee Study. In preparation of this update, it was discovered that a small number of fees did not receive the phased increase in FY 2022-23. Those fees were corrected, and the proposed Master Fee Schedule is fully compliant with City Council Resolution Numbers 2021-51 and 2021-52.

Annual Indexing for Inflation
Annual indexing of fees and fines is a financial standard practice to adjust for inflation, with different methodologies for the various fees, fines and penalties. • User Fees and Fines. The Willdan study established the fees necessary to cover the full cost of providing services in FY 2021-22 dollars. Based on Resolution No. 2021-52, the user fees and administrative fines covered in the Willdan study are to be indexed annually based on the CPI-U, which for FY 2023-24 is 4.2%. In preparation of this update, it was discovered that several fees that received a phased increase in FY 2022- 23 did not receive the CPI-U for FY 2022-23. The proposed Master Fee Schedule properly reflects last year’s CPI-U as well as the FY 2023-24 4.2% increase, except for percentage based fees with no actual dollar value. The result is that the proposed Master Fee Schedule is fully compliant with Resolution No. 2021-51 and 2021-52. • Impact or In-Lieu Fees. The Master Fee Schedule contains other fees that are not user fees covered by the Willdan study, and those fees are automatically adjusted to their own requirements. For instance, Development Impact Fees, Affordable Housing Impact Fees, and Parking in-lieu Fees are to be adjusted to the Construction Cost Index for San Francisco, California published by the Engineering News-Record, which increased by

9.52% from February 2022 to February 2023. The three types of fees are paid by developers for residential and non-residential development projects. This indexing is reflected in the proposed Master Fee Schedule update.
• Water and Sewer Capacity Charges. On October 24, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1858 and 1859 updating water and sewer capacity charges. The ordinances require the capacity charges to be automatically adjusted annually based on the Construction Cost Index 20-Cities Average published by Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index. The City Council is authorized to implement a multi-year adjustment if any annual adjustment is not made to the fee. The water and sewer capacity charges have not been adjusted since the Ordinances were adopted on October 24, 2017. The Master Fee Schedule properly reflects the multi-year indexing from 2017 to 2023. The multi-year increase is 22.30%, which is an average annual compound rate of 3.73%.
• Water and Sewer Fines and Penalties. The fines and penalties for unauthorized water use, illegal connections, and delinquent accounts, as well as turn-on/turn-off for late payments should have been indexed to the CPI-U annually since they were adopted in 2017. These charges have not been indexed since adoption. The proposed Master Fee

222 of 329

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
June 13, 2023

Schedule properly reflects the CPI-U, for a multi-year increase of 21.95% and an average annual compound rate of 3.67%.
• New Fees. The Master Fee Schedule includes new fees for the new Recreation and Aquatic Center that is scheduled to open in FY 2023-24. These include the rental fees for various rooms in the facility along with the program fees for the fitness center and aquatic programs. These fees were presented to the City Council on December 13, 2022, as a part of the Recreation and Aquatic Center Implementation Plan.

Timing of Fee Changes
The Master Fee Schedule reflects all fees and charges for City services, including development application fees, impact fees, recreation fees and service charges. Adjustments to development-related application and impact fees go into effect 60 days following City Council approval. Other fees, such as recreation fees, can go into effect immediately after adoption.

For fees with the 60-day effective date, there is an “urgency” provision that allows the City to make the fees effective in less than 60 days, when necessary “to protect the public health, welfare and safety.” The City Council could consider a resolution making the fees effective in less than 60 days with findings describing “the current and immediate threat to protect the public health, welfare and safety.” The interim resolution must be approved by 4/5 vote following a noticed public hearing and is only effective for 30 days. At that time, the City Council could consider another resolution to extend the interim authority another 30 days.

Having the entire Master Fee Schedule go into effect on July 1, the start of the new fiscal year, is necessary for public health, safety and welfare because cost recovery is necessary for long- term fiscal sustainability and the City’s ability to maintain essential services to the community.

In addition, a July 1 effective date avoids potentially significant public confusion and misunderstanding over which adjusted fees are effective July 1 and which are not effective until 60 days after the adoption (August 12, 2023). The July 1 effective date provides the most clarity to customers, the most straight-forward approach for staff, and is reflective of City costs to support fiscal sustainability.

At the June 27, 2023 City Council meeting, staff plans to present the City Council with the necessary interim urgency resolution to provide for the entire fee schedule to be effective on July 1, 2023, concurrent with the start of the new fiscal year. Below is a schedule that outlines this proposed timing.

Table 3 – Proposed Schedule
Adopt Resolution to update Master Fee Schedule, to be
effective after 60 days under generally applicable law (on August 12, 2023)
June 13, 2023
Adopt Interim Urgency Resolution to provide a July 1st
effective date for fees (this resolution sunsets after 30 days unless extended)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Updating the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24 for phased increases from the Willdan study and annual indexing brings the City’s fee revenue closer to the level of cost recovery directed by City Council in Resolutions No. 2021-51 and 2021-52. These increases will reduce the burden on other General Fund revenue sources to support other critical projects and services. Staff will track and provide updates regarding fee revenue during the quarterly City Council updates.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The Master Fee Schedule would not result in any reasonably foreseeable physical change to the environment; therefore, the action is not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act and no environmental analysis is required.

RECOMMENDATION:

Hold Public Hearing and adopt a resolution approving the Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Request additional information to be provided for City Council consideration and approval.

2. Do not proceed with the recommendations related to the City’s Master Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2023-24.

Memorandum

DATE: June 2, 2023

TO: Board of Directors, San Bruno Community Foundation

FROM: Leslie Hatamiya, Executive Director

SUBJECT: SBCF Budget and Transfers from the Quasi-Endowment and Strategic Pool to the Liquidity Pool for Fiscal Year 2023-2024

Under our Bylaws, the Foundation’s fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30, and its annual budget must be approved by the San Bruno City Council. As we approach the end of the 2022- 2023 fiscal year, I will present the 2023-2024 budget to the Board for approval at the June 7, 2023, Board meeting. If the Board approves the budget, I will present it to the City Council at its regular meeting on June 13, 2023, and the City Council will take formal action of approval at its regular meeting on June 27, 2023.

1. SBCF’s Overall Financial Picture

Before I provide a detailed account of the FY2023-2024 budget, I think it is instructive to review the overall financial health of the organization. The following chart provides a high-level picture of the Foundation’s overall financial history and health and includes both the investment portfolio managed by Sand Hill Global Advisors, LLC, as well as other funds (including initial funds received from the restitution funds to support the Foundation’s operations in 2015-2016 prior to establishing the investment accounts as well as donations received):

SBCF Financial Snapshot (rounded)
Total Initial Assets $70.5 million
Investment Gains Through 4/30/2023 +$16.5 million
Donations and Other Income Through 4/30/2023 +$1.5 million Total Funds Disbursed Through 4/30/2022 -$52.0 million
Portfolio Value as of 4/30/2023 $36.5 million

Total initial assets include the $69.8 million that was transferred to our Fidelity investment accounts in 2016 as well as about $700,000 in cash that the City had previously transferred to the Foundation to cover our expenses from inception through June 2016. Investment gains are those made by the investment portfolio (the funds managed by Sand Hill). Donations and other

301 of 329

Memorandum

income have flowed through our operating accounts but are not reflected in our investment portfolio.

Although we remain in a period of some market volatility, the Foundation’s overall financial health remains strong. As of April 30, 2022, the Foundation’s total assets were $36,485,585, with total liabilities of $8,243,860 and net assets of $28,241,725.

2. Budgeting Principles

In developing this budget, I am guided by the principles of transparency and economy. As prudent stewards of the restitution funds, we want to communicate our decisions and activities with the community and have accordingly provided ample budget to do so. At the same time, we will be cost-conscious in all categories of expenses.

As I remind the Board each year, ours is not a typical nonprofit budget, where the goal is for expenses to equal revenues. Most nonprofit budgets are income-driven because the nonprofit is able to spend only the funds it expects to bring in that year. In contrast, as a result of our ample investment portfolio, the Foundation’s budget is expense-driven. Our budgeted “income” consists primarily of transfers from our assets (Quasi-Endowment and Strategic Pool) to our operating budget to cover our cash needs during the fiscal year, along with a relatively small cohort of donations and interest income earned on our operating funds. We do not seek – and typically do not achieve – a “balanced budget,” as our cash needs do not necessarily match our recorded expenses in a given year. This is because we record grant and scholarship commitments as expenses at the time agreements are executed and scholarships awarded, but grant and scholarship payments are often made in a later fiscal year. As a result, the fact that in the FY2023-2024 budget funds available for operations ($1,831,596) slightly exceed expenses ($1,427,059) should not be a cause for concern. The calculations of our expenses and funds available for operations should be analyzed separately, as they are based on different factors and needs.

3. FY2023-2024 Expenses

We have three main categories of expenses: Direct Program Expenses (Crestmoor Scholarships, Community Grants Fund, Strategic Grants, and Other Grants), Personnel Expenses, and Non- Personnel Support Costs. As previously mentioned, grant and scholarship commitments are recorded as expenses at the time grant agreements are executed and scholarships are awarded (but not necessarily paid out). We are currently projecting expenses of $1,427,059.

302 of 329

Memorandum

a. Direct Program Expenses

• Crestmoor Scholarships: This line is set at $160,000, which is a $40,000 increase from the $120,000 awarded in 2017, 2018, and 2019. In 2020 and 2022, we awarded $190,000 in scholarships based on a $70,000 restricted donation from the Joseph W Welch Jr Foundation (in 2022, we also received a $1,000 restricted donation from an individual donor). In 2021, we awarded $195,000 in scholarships based on another $70,000 donation from the Welch Foundation, a $7,349 donation from the San Mateo County Association of REALTORS® Foundation, and a $1,000 donation from an individual donor. In 2023, we received only a modest ($1,500) donation from an individual donor and therefore awarded the budgeted amount of $160,000. At this time, we do not anticipate any donations earmarked for the Crestmoor Scholarship in fiscal year 2023-2024. In November 2019 (prior to the first Welch donation), the Board approved an increase in scholarship awards to $160,000 based on a recommendation from the Ad Hoc Committee on Crestmoor Scholarship, and this is the basis for retaining the $160,000 budgeted amount. At this level, the Foundation will likely award a total of 11 scholarships in 2024: six high school to four-year college, two high school to community college, and three community college to four-year college.

• Community Grants Fund: This line is set at $300,000, reflecting $200,000 of the Foundation’s funds and a $100,000 donation from a community partner. This level of funding is consistent with the total amount of grants awarded the past six years of the program, with donations from Google.org/YouTube.

• Strategic Grants: This line is budgeted at $500,000 as a placeholder. These funds could be used to fund one or more strategic grants that the Board chooses to fund in 2023-2024 and gives the Board the flexibility to consider strategic grantmaking opportunities that may arise.

The $500,000 placeholder is consistent with what we have budgeted in recent years for small-to-medium-sized strategic grants. In the past, we have also included funds for major strategic grants, particularly the various Recreation and Aquatic Center grants, but, with all anticipated RAC grants approved, the proposed budget does not anticipate any major (greater than $500,000) grants next year. With the Foundation set to disburse all remaining RAC grant payments next fiscal year, the Board will be revisiting its post-RAC strategy. I see 2023-2024 as a ”re-set” year, where the Board thoughtfully deliberates its strategies and priorities once the RAC project – the Foundation’s most significant legacy project – is completed. The $500,000

303 of 329

Memorandum

placeholder allows the Foundation to make some meaningful small-to-medium-sized strategic investments, while also identifying potential major initiatives in the coming years.

As a reminder, all strategic grants require specific Board approval, not just inclusion in the budget. Decisions on specific strategic grants will take place as proposals are vetted during the course of the year.

• Other Grants: Each year we budget $10,000 for our Off-Cycle Small Grants process.

This process is used to consider funding requests from organizations that: (a) seek funding for programs or projects that benefit the San Bruno community in a particularly meaningful and significant way and fall within one of the Foundation’s focus areas; (b) do not exceed $10,000; (c) cannot be reasonably considered during the next Community Grants Fund application schedule due to timing requirements; and (d) meet the organization and activity eligibility requirements of the Community Grants Fund.

b. Direct Personnel Expenses

• Salaries & Wages: This line reflects the Executive Director’s current salary and the Program Manager’s anticipated wages for the fiscal year. The Program Manager position (0.3 FTE, non-exempt) is paid hourly based on actual hours worked, and the budgeted amount is an estimate for the fiscal year. Actual hours worked and therefore actual salary/wages may be slightly different than the budgeted amount.

• Payroll Taxes & Benefits: This line reflects payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance premiums, and employee benefits for the fiscal year. Benefits include retirement plan contributions, life insurance, and personal time off.

Total Personnel Expenses are budgeted to increase 2.6% ($6,652) from the projected level for 2022-2023, due to a mid-year cost-of-living increase for the Executive Director in the current fiscal year and an anticipated cost-of-living increase for the Program Manager in 2023-2024.

c. Non-Personnel Support Costs

• Occupancy: This line reflects the total rent for 2023-2024 under the current office lease, which runs through March 2025. Monthly rent will be $1,399 from July

304 of 329

Memorandum

through December 2023, $1,415 for January through March 2024, and $1,456 for April through June 2024.

• Insurance: This line is based on the Foundation’s current commercial general liability, property, auto, cyber, and directors and officers liability insurance policies ($15,540), which have an annual renewal date of March 21. It also includes the Foundation’s crime insurance policy ($3,247), which has a renewal date of May 27. I have added an extra $1,000 in case we experience any premium increases upon renewal in 2024.

• Telecommunications: This line includes continuation of cell phone expenses for the Executive Director and Program Manager ($1,152), broadband Internet access for the office, and the office landline ($1,056 for Internet and landline through San Bruno CityNet Services combined). This line also includes telecommunications expenses for the Program Manager, who works from home ($240).

• Postage & Shipping: This line includes office postage ($960) as well as the projected postage required for the fall Annual Report mailing (nonprofit rate) to all San Bruno addresses ($1,500).

• Marketing & Communications: This line covers the projected printing costs associated with the Annual Report ($11,000). It also includes funds for graphic design services ($1,500), flyer/poster printing for the Community Grants Fund ($800), flyer/poster printing for the Crestmoor Scholarships ($1,000), website and e- newsletter costs ($275), holiday cards ($200), and costs associated with online grant and scholarship applications ($2,011).

• Office Supplies and Equipment: This line includes $175 monthly for office supplies and $700 for computer backup and other software fees and miscellaneous office equipment expenses (such as repairing the printer, which has seen considerable wear and tear over the past eight years). It also includes $3,000 for a new laptop and related software for the Executive Director. The current laptop is now nearly four years old, and while it is working properly now, by the end of the next fiscal year it may be time to invest in a new laptop if the current laptop begins to falter.

The projected useful life for business computer equipment is typically three years.

• Legal Fees: This line is a 27.2% increase over the projected amount for the current fiscal year. Our outside nonprofit counsel, NEO Law Group (budgeted at $13,500, or $1,125 per month), recently raised its hourly rates for the first time since we began

305 of 329

Memorandum

using them in 2015. In addition, the line includes $36,240 ($3,020 per month) for our outside municipal law counsel, Shute, Mihaly & Weingberger, LLP. For both outside firms, I bolstered their budget allotments due to the fact that we may seek guidance from them as the Board considers the Foundation’s post-RAC strategy over the next year. In general, we typically come in well under budget on this line, but I like to include a cushion in the event that any unexpected issues requiring legal assistance arise.

• Accounting & Payroll Fees: Payroll fees ($1,092) are based on the current arrangement with our payroll vendor (Intuit QuickBooks). For audit and tax preparation services, $11,000 is budgeted, per the Foundation’s contract with Novogradac & Company. In addition to $590 for QuickBooks accounting software, $23,760 is included for the accounting consultant/full charge bookkeeper, per the terms of our professional services agreement with him.

• Other Consultants: This line includes $10,382 for the IT consultant (based on current usage and the terms of our professional services agreement). I have also included placeholders of $7,500 for additional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities, as the Board has expressed a desire to have at least one DEI session per year and the Board will be adding at least one new Board member who will need to receive the training continuing Board members already received, and $15,000 for a fundraising consultant in the event that the Board seeks additional guidance on fund development activities as it considers the Foundation’s post-RAC strategy.

• Travel, Meetings & Conferences: Now that the Foundation has resumed in-person meetings and gatherings (with a hybrid component for Board meetings), the Foundation will experience higher meeting-related costs in the next fiscal year. This line includes the expenses for 12 Board meetings, although it is possible that several monthly meetings will be canceled due to lack of pressing business: $1,200 for the building attendant at the Senior Center and $1,584 for City of San Bruno IT staff to provide technical support for the hybrid meetings. This line also includes $700 for two Zoom Pro subscriptions and one Zoom webinar subscription, $200 for meeting- related refreshments (including an in-person scholarship reception), $240 for the Program Manager’s mileage reimbursement, and $500 for miscellaneous conference, training, and meeting expenses. This year, the line also includes a one- time expense of $3,500 to cover the costs of one Board member to participate in the San Bruno-Narita Sister City Exchange Program visit to Japan in July 2023.

306 of 329

Memorandum

• Miscellaneous: This line includes various expenses that may arise and do not fit in any of the other cost categories. It typically covers professional organization membership fees (such as the San Bruno Chamber of Commerce, Thrive: Alliance of Nonprofits, and the California Association of Nonprofits), bank fees, online news subscriptions, Board and partner recognition, and government/agency taxes and fees.

Total Non-Personnel Support Costs are budgeted to increase $27,981 from the 2022- 2023 year-end projection (but note that they are a $9,036 decrease from the 2022- 2023 budgeted amounts). This is due to a combination of (a) budgeting based on contract ceilings and providing flexibility for unanticipated expenses, and (b) several new expenses (e.g., increased meeting costs now that the Board has transitioned to hybrid meetings). Budgeted amounts operate as ceilings, and I am very cost- conscious in all purchasing decisions, so that actual costs frequently turn out to be lower than the budget projections. Please note that in 2022-2023, actual Non- Personnel Support Costs are projected to be 18.1% ($37,017) lower than the budgeted amount.

The biggest changes in Non-Personnel Support Costs are: (a) a $1,176 increase in Insurance premiums, which includes a $1,000 buffer in the event that premiums increase when our policies are renewed next spring; (b) a $2,286 increase for Marketing & Communications, which reflects a healthy cushion in the face of escalating printing costs over the past two years; (c) a $3,803 increase in Office Supplies & Equipment in case the Executive Director’s four-year-old laptop needs replacing; (d) a $10,622 increase in Legal Fees due to an increase in outside counsel hourly rates and the potential need for additional legal guidance as the Board considers the Foundation’s post-RAC strategy; (e) a $2,989 increase in Accounting & Payroll Fees due to a slight increase in the cost of our contract with the auditing firm and budgeting the accounting consultant based on his contract ceiling; and (f) an increase of $5,524 in Travel, Meetings & Conferences, reflecting the transition to hybrid in-person/virtual meetings and the one-time costs associated with a Board member participating in the San Bruno-Narita Sister City Exchange Program.

4. FY2023-2024 Funds Available for Operations

As mentioned above, this is not a balanced budget, where income equals expenses. Instead, the Funds Available for Operations are determined by analyzing the Foundation’s cash needs for the fiscal year. Our assumption is that all Personnel Expenses and Non-Personnel Support Costs will be paid out during the fiscal year ($457,059). Projected cash needs for Program Disbursements (total of $10,267,687) are as follows:

307 of 329

Crestmoor Scholarship
2020 Scholars $10,000
2021 Scholars $35,000
2022 Scholars $40,000
2023 Scholars $50,000
2024 Scholars $50,000
Total Crestmoor Scholarship $185,000

Community Grants Fund
Grants to be awarded in December 2023 $300,000
Total Community Grants Fund $300,000

Strategic Grants
RAC Grants $8,612,687
Community Day 2023 $30,000
Music Education Strategic Initiative Extension $130,000 Centennial Plaza Improvement Project $500,000
Other miscellaneous strategic grants – to be determined $500,000 Total Strategic Grants $9,772,687

Other Grants
Out-of-Cycle Responsive Grants $10,000
Total Other Grants $10,000

Total cash needs for 2023-2024 are estimated at $10,724,746. This figure, after adjustment for the residual 2022-2023 cash balance, drives the Foundation’s Funds Available for Operations in 2023-2024.

We have two categories of Funds Available for Operations: Operating Income and Transfers from Investments.

a. Operating Income

At this time, projected Operating Income is low ($17,177):

• Interest Income: This line includes estimated investment income from the Fidelity Liquidity Pool account and interest earned on the Wells Fargo bank accounts. This is a conservative estimate, based on 25% of the actual interest income anticipated for fiscal year 2022-2023. In the context of the full budget, even if Interest Income is

308 of 329

Memorandum

higher than budgeted, it will remain a small portion of the Funds Available for Operations.

• Restricted Donations: There are no firm commitments for donations earmarked to specific programs, but we may receive such restricted donations during the year.

b. Transfers from Investments

The Foundation’s available funds come primarily from transfers from the Quasi-Endowment and the Strategic Pool. The question in developing this budget is what portion of the needed funds comes from each pool. In answering this question, it is important to think back to the original purpose of each pool of funds. In responding to the results of the Community Listening Campaign, the Board decided to designate about $55 million of the restitution funds to establish the Strategic Pool to be spent outright on strategic initiatives, including at least one major community facility project (which ultimately turned out to be the RAC).

The Liquidity Pool was created to serve as a holding account for expenditures planned in the subsequent 0-24 months. Its purpose is to mirror the Foundation’s operating accounts, and it may be funded by both the Quasi-Endowment and the Strategic Pool. The investment goal for the Liquidity Pool is to preserve the principal balance of all funds directed into this pool, and as such, capital preservation and liquidity are the primary objectives. In 2018, the Board moved $10 million from the Strategic Pool to the Liquidity Pool for use in the following fiscal year (and thus not part of the current fiscal year’s operating budget) in order to reduce market volatility risk for a portion of the funds to be used to fund the RAC project. This led to the creation of two subaccounts in the Liquidity Pool – Liquidity-Operating and Liquidity-RAC – which received different treatment in the Foundation’s monthly financial statements, and each received its share of interest income that the Pool accrues. In the balance sheet, funds in the Liquidity-RAC subaccount were shown as investment assets and not part of the operating budget. In contrast, the funds in the Liquidity Pool intended to support that fiscal year’s operating budget (Liquidity-Operating) are shown as cash assets. At the beginning of this fiscal year, per the approved budget and in anticipation of paying out the remaining RAC grant payments in the following 18 months, we transferred the remaining balance of Liquidity-RAC ($8,759,369) to Liquidity-Operating and closed the Liquidity-RAC subaccount. Since then, all references to the Liquidity Pool or Liquidity-Operating refer to the full balance of the Liquidity Pool account, which is part of the operating budget and shown on the balance sheet as cash assets.

The Board also created the Quasi-Endowment with $15 million of the restitution funds. The idea behind the Quasi-Endowment has been to follow a long-term endowment investment strategy, so that only a portion of the investment income would be used for operations, and that once the Strategic Pool had been depleted, a scaled-back version of the Foundation could

309 of 329

Memorandum

continue to operate – possibly in perpetuity – funding the Crestmoor Scholarships, the Community Grants Fund, and potentially some smaller strategic projects on an ongoing basis.

In creating the Investment Operating Plan in 2016, the Board decided not to take any Quasi- Endowment payout in the first year of possessing the restitution funds (2016-2017) to enable the Quasi-Endowment to grow. Since then, the Board has approved the annual payout rate to cover the year’s cash needs for the Crestmoor Scholarship and Community Grants Fund, as follows:

Fiscal Year QE Payout Rate
Average QE Balance of Past
12 Quarters Approved QE Payout
FY2017-2018 2.25% $15,685,369 $352,921
FY2018-2019 1.95% $16,409,212 $319,980
FY2019-2020 1.90% $16,711,034 $317,510
FY2020-2021 1.70% $17,392,997 $295,681
FY2021-2022 1.70% $18,407,790 $312,932
FY2022-2023 1.41% $20,279,185 $285,937

Consistent with the vision behind the Quasi-Endowment, the approved payout rates have been well below the maximum of 7% set out in the Investment Operating Plan and have allowed the Quasi-Endowment to continue to grow while the Foundation still has funds in the Strategic Pool to cover other expenses.

Residual cash on hand as of June 30, 2023, is projected to be $8,994,303. Of the residual cash on hand, $113,310 is earmarked for Community Grants and Crestmoor Scholarships (rollover of expected donation for Community Grants, two deferred scholarship payments, and payout overage resulting from the fact that payout rate is expressed as a percentage and not as a precise dollar amount). Of the remaining amount, up to $8,612,687 is earmarked for all remaining RAC grant payments, including the recently approved $1,500,000 for RAC construction contingency (which may or may not be used in full). 1 As a result, of the projected

1 Through May 5, 2023, the Foundation has made grant payments totaling $42,887,313.04 related to the eight grants supporting the design and construction of the RAC. In the current 2022 -2023 fiscal year, RAC grant payments have totaled $22,353,104.82. The remaining balance of the original $50 million commitment to be paid is $7,112,686.96, all of which is expected to be disbursed in fiscal year 2023 -2024.

In April 2023, at the request of the City of San Bruno, the SBCF Board approved additional funding for RAC construction (RAC Grant #8) in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000. The additional funding will go toward the project's construction contingency and will only be utilized if needed.

At its recent meeting, the Investment Committee discussed the timing of transfer(s) from Strategic to Liquidity to cover additional $1,500,000 in RAC grant funding to cover construction contingency. After much discussion, the Committee recommended, consistent with the original purpose of the Liquidity Pool, that the full $1,500,000 be

310 of 329

Memorandum

June 30 cash on hand, the remaining $268,307 is designated for non-RAC Strategic Grants and operating expenses.

• Quasi-Endowment Payout: The cash flow needs of the Crestmoor Scholarships and Community Grants Fund are expected to be $485,000 for fiscal year 2023-2024. As mentioned above, $113,310 of the cash on hand at the end of fiscal year 2022-2023 will go toward meeting these cash needs, leaving a balance of $371,690 to be funded by new Quasi-Endowment payout. At the June 7 meeting, the Board will consider a proposal from the Investment Committee to set the fiscal year 2023-2024 payout rate for the Quasi-Endowment at 1.78%, which would cover the balance of the cash flow needs of the Crestmoor Scholarships and Community Grants Fund.

The payout amount is determined by multiplying the average of latest available 12 prior quarter-ending Quasi-Endowment values ($20,946,234, covering Q2 2020 through Q1 2023). The 1.78% payout rate thus results in a payout of $372,843.

• Strategic Pool: The total transfer from the Strategic Pool is budgeted at $1,441,576.

As we transferred to Liquidity all funds needed to pay out the remaining RAC grant payments in the current fiscal year, 100% of the $1,441,576 (along with the projected cash remaining from 2022-2023) will cover all operating expenses and non-RAC strategic and other grant payments (not including Community Grants and Crestmoor Scholarship payments).

The Investment Committee recommends that Board give the Executive Director the discretion to manage all transfers from investment accounts, including the discretion to divide each category of transfers into smaller increments, set the timing of the incremental transfers based on the Foundation’s cash flow needs, and transfer less than the approved transfer amounts as circumstances may warrant. Thus, the Executive Director can wait to transfer funds from the Strategic Pool to cover any non-RAC strategic grants until such grants are approved and grant payments are due.

Together, Operating Income and Transfers from Investments result in a total of $1,831,596 in Funds Available for Operations. With residual cash from FY2022-2023 carried forward into FY2023-2024, this total will cover anticipated FY2023-2024 cash needs.

transferred immediately from Strategic to Liquidity. Following this recommendation, I instructed Sand Hill Global Advisors to transfer $1,500,000 from Strategic to Liquidity in late May. If the City does not need the full $1,500,000 for RAC construction contingency, the remaining balance can eventually be used for non- RAC Strategic Grants and operating expenses.

Memorandum

The attached resolution, which I recommend the Board adopt, authorizes four actions. It: (a) approves the FY2023-2024 budget; (b) sets the Quasi-Endowment payout rate for FY2023-2024; (c) approves a transfer from the Strategic Pool to the Liquidity Pool as part of the FY2023-2024 operating budget; and (d) directs the Executive Director to submit the FY2023-2024 budget to the San Bruno City Council for consideration and approval. It also gives the Executive Director the discretion to manage all transfers from investment accounts, including the discretion to divide each category of transfers into smaller increments, set the timing of the incremental transfers based on the Foundation’s cash flow needs, and transfer less than the approved transfer amounts, based on the Foundation’s cash flow needs.

City Council Agenda Item
Staff Report

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
DATE:June 13, 2023
TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:Alex D. McIntyre, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY:Darcy Smith, Assistant City Manager
Ashley Crociani, Management Analyst
SUBJECT: Consider Introducing, Reading by Title Only, and Waiving Further Reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 10 of Chapter 10.08 of the San Bruno Municipal Code to Provide for the Collection of Sewer Service Charges on the San Mateo County Tax Roll
BACKGROUND:

The City Wastewater (Sewer) Enterprise Fund accounts for all operational and capital expenditures needed to operate, maintain, and improve the City’s critical sewer utility systems.

The Fund operates without tax support and is funded solely by ratepayers. The City of San Bruno is considering moving the collection of sewer service charges for all parcels in San Bruno from the current City bills to the San Mateo County property tax roll beginning July 1, 2024.

In March 2022, the City initiated work with the consulting firm Bartle Wells Associates to prepare a Water and Sewer Rate Study Report. This report, which was finalized in February 2023, updated the City’s sewer and water rate model to ensure revenues continue covering operational costs and necessary infrastructure improvements.

As identified in the Rate Study Report, going forward, the City’s sewer enterprise is facing a number of financial challenges. For example, many of the City’s sewer collection system pipelines are at, or approaching, the end of their useful lives and in need of replacement. The City anticipates funding approximately $71 million of wastewater system capital improvement projects over the next 5 years. This total includes roughly $46 million of improvements to the City’s sewer collection system – mostly consisting of sewer pipeline replacements – and about $25 million for the City’s share of upgrades to the Water Quality Control Plant, which include an estimated $14 million for the City’s share of a biosolids handling improvement project that South San Francisco anticipates financing via debt.

The City Council held two Study Sessions in February 2023 to review the Rate Study Report.

One of the topics presented to the City Council for review was moving the collection of sewer service charges to the County property tax bills beginning on July 1, 2024. The City Council provided direction to staff to come back with a report that would provide more detail and specifics on the transition to the County property tax bills.

6 Current Sewer Charges Billing
The City currently bills customers via a combined bi-monthly utility bill that includes water, sewer service, and solid waste charges. This results in a single large bill that customers pay once every two months. The typical single-family residential monthly sewer charges are $94.12.

Additionally, residents that subscribe to the City’s cable, telephone, and internet service (CityNet) receive a separate monthly bill from the City. Pursuant to the new Franchise Agreement with Recology San Bruno, beginning July 1, 2023, Recology will take over customer billing and collection of solid waste service payments. Direct billing of solid waste services by Recology will streamline customer service for residents and businesses.

The City has received some customer complaints that its utility bills seem high compared to other agencies. This may largely be due to the City’s billing practices compared to a number of other local agencies that only bill for some utility services (e.g., only water or sewer service), bill customers every month, or collect sewer charges on the property tax rolls. The City also expends significant time and expense processing utility bills, and on the collection of unpaid utility bills.

Most agencies in San Mateo County collect sewer service charges on the property tax roll. The only agencies that do not are Burlingame, Brisbane, Foster City, and San Bruno. The City of Millbrae is currently in the process of transitioning sewer service charges to the San Mateo County property tax roll starting July 1, 2023.

DISCUSSION:

This agenda item serves to introduce an ordinance (Attachment 1) that would amend the City Municipal Code to allow the City Council to take action in 2024 to collect sewer service charges for all parcels in San Bruno on the County property tax bills.

California Health and Safety Code 5470 et seq. authorizes the City to collect sewer service charges in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes for each property. Procedurally, in each year that the City levies and collects the sewer service charges on the tax roll, the City must prepare a report listing the sewer charges (the "Written Report”) and must hold a public hearing on the Written Report. The Written Report must contain a description of each parcel of real property to which the charge is applicable (the "Identified Parcels") and the amount of the sewer service charge for each Identified Parcel.

Notice must be published two times and mailed 14 days before the public hearing. After the first year that the City Council adopts the report, the public hearing notice is provided by publication only.

At the time stated in the notice, the City Council must hear and consider all objections or protests, if any, to the Written Report. If the City Council finds that protests are made by the owners of a majority of the Identified Parcels, then the Written Report cannot be adopted. In such case, the City may still impose the charges for the fiscal year, but the charges must be collected separately from the tax roll and will not constitute a lien against any parcel or parcels of land. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council may adopt, revise, change, reduce or modify (but may not increase) any charge or overrule any or all objections and shall make its determination upon each charge as described in the Written Report.

6 Billing through the County property tax roll is anticipated to provide many benefits to both ratepayers and the sewer enterprise fund, including:
•As the collector of general taxes, the County of San Mateo guarantees payment for any charges collected on the tax roll. San Mateo County is on the Teeter Plan under which the City would typically receive 100% of sewer billings regardless of property tax payment delinquencies. This revenue would be paid from the County to the City in installments throughout the fiscal year. The County will handle any necessary assessment of penalties in the event of nonpayment. Therefore, the City will receive a more stable and guaranteed revenue source for its sewer enterprise. This guarantee of payment allows staff to project sewer enterprise fund revenue with more accuracy and plan for future expenditures required to maintain the City’s sewer collection system. •It would also remove the administrative burden of billing and collections from the City.

The billing change will result in a reduction in processing costs. This will help rebalance the workload of the City’s already burdened Finance Department by freeing up staff time from responding to customer billing inquiries and processing payments, as well as bill collection activities. Reducing staff time required for this activity is an example of improved and more efficient service delivery, allowing staff to focus on higher-priority accounts payable and purchasing activities instead of processing billing. Finance staff will still be involved in the sewer service charges process to prepare annual rate adjustments, execute an agreement with the County for collection of special charges, and to oversee the preparation and provision of the annual required Property Tax Written Report to the County.

Other considerations with moving to the tax rolls include that any sewer charges currently billed to tenants would instead be billed to property owners on the tax bill, and the County charges a small administrative fee for collecting charges on the property tax rolls. The County issues property tax bills due in two equal installments in December and April annually. Each installment must be paid in full by the due dates listed on the tax bill to avoid penalty fees.

Adopting the proposed ordinance now would provide a one-year transition period to ensure that landlords can make changes to their rental leases over a full year and property owners can adjust their mortgage impound account set-asides to include these charges. The City prepared a list of Frequently Asked Questions (Attachment 2). The City also prepared a table showing how the payments would transition from being due bimonthly to biannually (Attachment 3). The one-year transition period provides time for owners to plan accordingly to transition from bimonthly to biannual payments.

The following section presents a proposed schedule for moving collection of the City’s current sewer service charges to the San Mateo County property tax roll.

June 13, 2023 City Council Meeting: Consider the introduction of ordinance to amend the Municipal Code to allow for the sewer service charges to be placed on the San Mateo County property tax roll, commencing on July 1, 2024.

June 27, 2023 City Council Meeting: If introduced on June 13, 2023, consider adoption of the ordinance.

Finance Department to issue an RFP to hire a consultant to prepare the Written Report. The consultant will calculate the amount of the sewer service charge for each parcel.

Spring 2024 Notice published two times and mailed by the City to affected property owners at least 14 days prior to holding a public hearing on the Written Report. City will conduct additional outreach.

Spring 2024 City Council Meeting: Hold the required Public Hearing to consider any objections or protests to the Written Report and consider adoption of a resolution authorizing the collection of sewer service charges for Fiscal Year 2024-25 on the San Mateo County property tax roll.

July 1, 2024 Submit Written Report to the County to collect current sewer service charges on the San Mateo County property tax roll.

October 2024 San Mateo County issues the property tax bill, which includes Fiscal Year 2024-25 annual sewer service charges.

December 2024 The first installment of the property tax bill is due.

April 2025 The second installment is due.

Once added to the tax roll, the sewer charges will be paid by the parcel owner and will be collected through the County tax collection system. The payments would be set on the same schedule as property tax, which is collected twice a year. The City would transition the bills that the ratepayers receive by prorating any bills received after the transition date (in this case anticipated to be July 1, 2023) to reflect the transition to county billing. Ratepayers would notice a change in their current bimonthly utility bill in July or August, with the sewer portion transitioned fully by the September or October bill.

Low-income customers would continue to be eligible for the discounted sewer rates program established by the City Council that provides a 25% discount in rates for households with certain income limitations. Participation in the program is voluntary. The water billing portion would continue to be managed by the City and ratepayers will continue to receive bi-monthly bills for the water service charges.

6 NEXT STEPS:

If the City Council approves introduction, reading by title only, and waiving further reading of the ordinance, the adoption of the ordinance would be scheduled as a consent calendar item at the next regular City Council meeting. If adopted, the ordinance would go into effect 30 days after adoption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact from the introduction of the ordinance. Should the ordinance be adopted, and the Council takes action to put sewer service charges on the tax roll starting July 1, 2024, moving the sewer utility to the property tax bills would provide the City with a more stable and guaranteed revenue source for its sewer enterprise. This guarantee of payment allows staff to project sewer enterprise fund revenue with more accuracy and plan for future expenditures required to maintain the City’s sewer collection system. Public notices and courtesy mailed notices would also be mailed out by the Finance Department at a cost to the City, which can be funded by the Finance operating budget. The Finance Department would also need to fund the cost a consultant to prepare the Written Report. Additionally, the City will need to compensate the County a nominal amount per parcel for collection of special charges.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

RECOMMENDATION:

Introduce, read by title only, and waive further reading of an Ordinance of the City of San Bruno Amending Title 10, Chapter 10.08 of the San Bruno Municipal Code to provide for the Collection of City Sewer Service Charges on the San Mateo County Tax Roll.

ALTERNATIVES:

The City Council may elect not to accept the recommended action and direct the City to continue billing for sewer service charges.

TRANSITION OF CITY OF SAN BRUNO

SEWER SERVICE CHARGES TO COUNTY TAX ROLL

The City of San Bruno is in the process of moving the collection of sewer service charges for all parcels in San Bruno from the current City bills to the County property tax bills in Fiscal Year 2024-25. If approved by the City Council, this change would be effective starting July 1, 2024. Below are answers to some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that will help residents and property owners better understand how they may be affected by the potential changes.

1. Why is the City considering the change in billing procedures to collect the sewer service charges through the County tax roll?

The City currently bills customers via a combined bi-monthly utility bill that includes water and sewer service charges and solid waste charges. This results in a single large bill that customers pay once every two months. The typical single family residential monthly sewer charges are $94.12. Billing through the County property tax roll is anticipated to provide many benefits to both ratepayers and the sewer enterprise fund, including:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Transition of City of San Bruno Sewer Service Charges to County Tax Roll

2. What is the timing for this potential change in who bills for the sewer service charges?

In June 2023, the City Council will review and potentially take action on an ordinance that would amend the City Municipal Code to allow the City Council to take future action in 2024 to collect sewer service charges for all parcels in San Bruno on the County property tax bills. The one-year transition period provides time for owners to plan accordingly to transition from bimonthly to biannual payments.

In Spring 2024, the City could initiate the formal process under State law to make this change in who bills for these charges, effective July 1, 2024.

3. Are there other agencies that currently bill sewer service charges through the County tax roll?

Most agencies in San Mateo County collect sewer service charges on the tax roll. The only agencies that do not are Burlingame, Brisbane, and Foster City. The City of Millbrae is currently in the process of transitioning sewer service charges to the San Mateo County property tax roll starting July 1, 2023.

4. Which sewer customers will have sewer service charges collected on the County tax roll?

If approved by the City Council in Spring 2024, all San Bruno sewer service customers would be subject to this change billing for services effective July 1, 2024.

5. What is the timeline for this process?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Transition of City of San Bruno Sewer Service Charges to County Tax Roll

6. Who would be responsible for paying the sewer service charges on the tax roll?

Charges collected through the tax roll are the responsibility of the parcel owner, who pays the entire property tax bill. Owners may adjust their mortgage impound account set-asides to include these charges.

7. What if I am a tenant and the current customer on record?

If this change is approved by the City Council, tenants of parcels that will have charges collected through the tax roll will not see a sewer service charge on their City of San Bruno utility bill after the transition takes place in July 1, 2024.

8. How will I pay my bill if my sewer service charge is collected through the tax roll?
