TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED. Civiltec Engineering, Inc. (hereinafter Civiltec) is an independent consultant and agrees to provide Client, for its sole benefit and exclusive use, consulting services set forth in our proposal. Civiltec reserves the right to terminate services at any time. Payment for services rendered prior to the time of termination of services shall be due pursuant to the payment terms as described.

2. PAYMENT TERMS. Client agrees to pay our invoice upon receipt. If payment is not received within 30 days from the invoice date, Client agrees to pay a service charge on the past due amount at the prevailing legal rate (1 ½ percent monthly), including reasonable attorney’s fees if collected by an attorney, and Civiltec reserves the right to suspend all work until payment is received. No deduction shall be made from our invoice on amount of liquidated damages or other sums withheld from payments to Contractor or others. These payment terms may be amended in the Proposal.

Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause upon 30 days written notice. In the event Client requests termination prior to completion of the proposed services, Client agrees to pay Civiltec for all costs incurred plus reasonable charges associated with the termination of the work. In this event, Client also agrees to release Civiltec from all liability for services rendered.

In the event all or any portion of the services or work product prepared or partially prepared by Civiltec be suspended, abandoned, or terminated, Client shall pay Civiltec for all fees, charges, and services provided for the project, not to exceed any contract limit specified herein. Client acknowledges if the project services are suspended and restarted, there will be additional charges due to suspension of the services, which shall be paid for by Client as extra services.

3. STANDARD OF CARE. Civiltec will perform its services using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by reputable members of our profession practicing in the same or similar locality. NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE OR INTENDED BY OUR PROPOSAL OR BY OUR ORAL OR WRITTEN REPORTS.

If Client prefers to have higher limits of professional liability, we agree to increase the limit up to a maximum of $1,000,000 upon Client’s written request at the time of accepting our proposal, provided Client agrees to pay an additional consideration of ten percent of our total fee, or $500, whichever is greater. The additional charge for the higher liability limit is because of the greater risk assumed by us and is not a charge for additional professional liability insurance.

6. SITE OPERATIONS AND SOIL CONDITIONS. Client will arrange for right-of-entry to the property for the purpose of performing studies, tests and evaluations pursuant to the agreed services. Client represents that it possesses necessary permits and licenses required for its activities at the site.

These requirements will apply continuously and will not be limited to normal working hours. It is agreed that Civiltec will not be responsible for job or site safety on the project, other than for our employees and subcontractors.

Client acknowledges that Civiltec is not responsible for the performance of work by third parties including, but not limited to, the construction contractor and its subcontractors.

7. UNFORSEEN CONDITIONS OR OCCURRENCES. It is possible that unforeseen conditions or occurrences may be encountered, which could substantially alter the necessary services or the risks involved in completing our services.

a) Complete the original Scope of Services in accordance with the procedures originally intended in our Proposal, if practical in our judgment; b) Agree with Client to modify the Scope of Services and the estimate of charges to include study of the unforeseen conditions or occurrences, with such revision agreed to in writing; and/or
c) Terminate the services effective on the date specified by us in writing.

However, in the event a claim is made that results in litigation, and the claimant does not prevail at trial, then the claimant shall pay all costs incurred in defending the claim, including all reasonable attorney’s fees of both parties. The claim will be considered proven if the judgment obtained and retained through any applicable appeal is at least ten percent greater than the sum offered to resolve the matter prior to the commencement of trial.

12. OPINIONS OF COST. If requested, Civiltec will use its best efforts and experience on similar projects to provide realistic opinions or estimates of costs for installation of materials, remediation or construction as appropriate based on reasonably available data, our designs or our recommendations. However, such opinions are intended primarily to provide information on the order of magnitude or scale of such costs and are not intended for use in firm budgeting or negotiation unless specifically agreed otherwise in advance, in writing with Civiltec. Client understands actual costs of such work depend heavily on regional economics, local construction practices, material availability, site conditions, weather conditions, Contractor skills, and many other factors beyond our control.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY. Civiltec will maintain as confidential any documents or information provided by Client indicated to be confidential and will not release, distribute, or publish to any third party without prior permission from Client, except as compelled by order of a court or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction and then only after notice to Client.

14. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

15. SURVIVAL. All obligations arising prior to the termination of this Agreement and all provisions of this Agreement allocating responsibility or liability between Client and Civiltec shall survive the completion of the services and their termination of this Agreement.

16. INTEGRATION. This Agreement, the attached Proposal and documents and those incorporated herein constitute the entire Agreement between the parties and cannot be changed except by a written instrument signed by both parties.

17. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California or Arizona depending on the project location.

August 4, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 351 of 770 Consideration to Award Contracts to Willdan Engineering for Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Development Services, and to Premier Pipe, Inc. for Sewer CCTV Services

ANALYSIS:

The Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (SSMP) will help the Public Works Department better operate and manage the City’s sewer system. It includes collecting essential sewer data for ongoing capacity studies and supports the creation of a long‑term Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

Sanitary Sewer Master Plan
The Scope of Work (SOW) for this project includes:

Building a hydraulic model to assess sewer capacity.

Incorporating future land-use projections based on housing growth and state mandates.

Developing a 10-year CIP and final Master Plan Report.

Optional services, if funding allows, include:

Creating a GIS database.

Installing temporary flow meters to gather detailed capacity data.

One (1) bid was received from Willdan Engineering for $261,238, addressing the full SOW.

The selection of the consultant was based on criteria set forth in the RFP. The City evaluated the information provided in the submitted proposals using the following criteria: Completeness and Comprehensiveness, Responsiveness to City’s issues, Potential to benefit the City, Experience of the firm providing similar services to other municipalities, Cost effectiveness, and Quality of proposed staff.

Staff interviewed Willdan’s key personnel on June 25, 2025, with satisfactory results. Based on their proposal and interview, staff recommends awarding the contract to Willdan for both standard and optional services, as detailed in Attachment “A” (Exhibits A & B).

Sewer CCTV Services.

Premier Pipe, Inc. is recommended to perform CCTV inspection on approximately 219,346 linear feet of sewer mains. This includes cleaning sewer lines, capturing video, and producing inspection reports. Collected footage will inform the SSMP—helping identify issues like root intrusion, structural defects, or grease buildup—and guide decisions on street rehabilitation priorities.

Premier Pipe was identified through the same RFP criteria and confirmed through reference checks. Out of six bids, Premier Pipe offered the most competitive price at $247,871, compared to others ranging from approximately $496,000 to $767,000.

August 4, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 352 of 770 Consideration to Award Contracts to Willdan Engineering for Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Development Services, and to Premier Pipe, Inc. for Sewer CCTV Services

Staff recommends awarding this contract to Premier Pipe as detailed in Attachment “B” (Exhibit B).

Award of these two contracts allows the City to gather important sewer data to guide future infrastructure planning and investment. The SSMP and CCTV inspection will support proactive maintenance, minimize service disruptions, and enable targeted improvements aligned with the City’s long-term goals.

Project Understanding and Approach
Project Understanding
We understand the City is seeking to:
 Analyze existing sewer infrastructure for capacity and condition  Identify and prioritize improvements for a 10-year CIP (2025–2035)  Develop and calibrate a citywide sewer hydraulic model  Establish data to support sewer impact fee updates and GIS inventory Our project team understands the significance and importance of the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The City wants to accurately define both the existing system operations capacity for what is needed now, and what the system should look like at ultimate development build-out within the service area. This will require preparing two parallel hydraulic models to provide the desired information, and the ability to integrate those existing conditions with development projections from the involved land use planning agencies within the City. The analysis may require obtaining 14-day flow monitoring data to validate the theoretical sewer generation rates. The sewer capacity analysis is to contain economical options for implementation now that will integrate with the future development projections and schedules. These elements are to be depicted in a capacity deficiencies map which will summarize the findings of the analyses in a graphical form. Finally, deficient segments will be analyzed as potential projects and cost estimates for their design and construction will be developed. These will provide recommendations to the City for its’ capital improvement program (CIP) that will guide the City’s fiscal project planning and construction coordination as capacity needs increase.

Project Approach
Our approach includes:
 Data Collection & Review: Gather plans, as-builts, CCTV, and GIS layers  Site Investigations: Field verify selected manholes and asset conditions  Flow Monitoring: Install up to 5 monitors for 14-day dry weather study  Hydraulic Modeling: Build and calibrate model; simulate future scenarios  GIS Development: Develop integrated, queryable sewer asset database  Reporting: Deliver preliminary and final SMP with exhibits, CIP plan, and costs  Develop system data which will be used in a separate Sewer Impact Fee Study Willdan's management approach has been proven to be effective in delivering services on time, within budget, on like projects and on past assignments for our municipal client’s satisfaction. Our approach for the City’s SMP starts with our proposal planning and assembling a qualified, right-sized team to collaborate and coordinate with City staff members knowledgeable of the factors, authorities, and responsibilities pertaining to the City’s sanitary sewer system. Willdan has designated a specific team experienced in both sewer design and master planning, including hydraulic assessment and cost estimating which are major components of the requested SMP focus. It is the goal of this team to provide the quality SMP. This will require timely and detailed coordination between Willdan and the City. To accomplish this, we will conduct interactive discussions with City staff throughout the course of the assignment to ensure identified and required issues are addressed. With our team's variety of subject experience, combined with our understanding of the City’s desired work product, we are confident that a successful updated SMP can be delivered.

Our designated project manager, Chris Stone, will be the single point of contact for the City’s staff and will convey all important matters to and from the project team as appropriate.

Project Scope
Scope of Services
 Develop a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan covering 2025–2035  Collect and review existing plans, reports, and GIS data  Conduct site investigations and flow monitoring
 Prepare cost estimates and a prioritized 10-year Capital Improvement Plan  Develop and calibrate a sewer hydraulic model
 Create a GIS database to support long-term asset management Willdan will initiate discussions with City staff and undertake document reviews to identify issues of concern; expressed community concerns, if any; needed changes; and operational problems experienced with the existing Sewer Master Plan. We will then obtain land use planning information from the involved agencies as well as their criteria regarding permitting, construction, and potential development schedules and possible revisions that could take place in their zone of influence. Then, prepared with the foundational data, we will begin developing an updated hydraulic model of the existing sewer system, and a parallel hydraulic model into which we will include the future connection/development area projections. These models will be developed in concert with City Staff consultation and review discussions to keep the modeling work consistent with City intent and issues. As modeling work progresses and workable options are identified, we will begin drafting updates to the current SMP report and prepare status summaries for discussion of revised components of the SMP. Reviews and updates are anticipated for discussion up to the time of document presentation of the draft and final reports to the City.

Staffing and Resource Management
Willdan is committed to providing the staffing and resources required to complete this project on schedule and with high quality. To ensure we meet this commitment, we prepare monthly project specific labor projections. The project manager identifies the staff required to complete project assignments and compiles the hours for each team member during that period of time. These schedules and hours are included in our project staffing requirements/discussions on a weekly basis and collective schedules are generated indicating resources and hours assigned to each project’s needs to meet delivery schedules.

Subconsultant Management
Subconsultant will take all formal directions from Willdan’s Project Manager (PM) with all activities related to the administration of the subconsultant agreements managed by the PM. Our PM will review the subconsultant(s) progress on a weekly basis. All subconsultant work is included in our quality control reviews.

Techniques to Achieve Project Schedule Milestone
We have committed a baseline allocation of resources exclusively to this project based upon our past experiences with similar contracts. If workload leveling is required to balance overall demand from project assignments with our staff capacity, we will implement potential remedies such as assigning staff overtime; outsourcing work for our other projects; augmenting our staff with known independent specialists; or implementing a combination of the above remedies without added cost burden to our client.

This approach enables us to always make available staff with the appropriate expertise that aligns with the needs of individually awarded projects. Accommodating varying levels of work is also made possible with efficient and timely project execution. Diligent implementation of project management controls such as strategy work sessions; issue, action item, and decisions logs; critical-path, resource-loaded scheduling; and other project management strategies based upon the Project Management Institute guidelines ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget through effective resource planning activities.

Lastly, our PM will provide performance briefings/memorandums to the City and discuss staffing and schedule needs and challenges including any project issues that require changes in staffing, schedule or scope.

Willdan's approach to cost control considers limited design and construction costs in concert with the project specific requests, characteristics, and requirements. This starts with making sure project tasks are assigned to qualified staff – with the goal of minimizing learning curves. Accurate budget cost control is achieved through tracking progress, i.e., percent of work complete, and comparing to costs incurred in the project's budget.

Beginning with electronic timekeeping, project hours are assigned to the appropriate tasks and subtasks and booked as work-in-process.

In addition, pre-bill reports are generated that identify the hours to be billed, along with any other direct charges to the project. This is the information used to determine each month's invoicing. Monitoring is easily accomplished by utilizing team member progress updates and making comparisons between the scope of work, schedule, and budget.

Our engineering labor costs are monitored through weekly accounting system reports, which are comprehensive and generally accepted accounting principles compliant.

Schedule Control
Willdan teams are made aware of project schedules based upon client funding limits, budgets, collateral commitments, and are committed to meeting schedules as promised and to honoring schedule commitments.

Willdan will keep City staff informed of the overall schedule, including advanced notification of any necessary adjustments or actions to remain on track.

Willdan frequently utilizes Microsoft Project to schedule projects, perform baseline analyses to understand project progress, and consolidate schedules of the various disciplines involved in a given project. The schedule identifies major items of work and serves as the vehicle for monitoring, controlling, and tracking progress. Schedules are updated monthly to reflect actual and forecasted completions – allowing our project manager to anticipate and forecast potential issues and develop an advanced strategy to proactively mitigate problems before the schedule is impacted.

Quality Control
The primary mission of our quality control plan is to provide staff with the technical and managerial expertise to plan, organize, implement, and control the overall quality effort – thereby ensuring the completion of a quality project within the time and budget established. The goals of the quality control process team are to:
 Establish a set of planned and systematic actions for maintaining a high level of quality for services performed
 Establish a consistent and uniform approach to services performed  Ensure efficient use of resources
 Emphasize quality in every phase of work
 Implement appropriate quality control measures for each project work task The above activities will be a critical part of the initiation and implementation of the quality control plan and will set the tone for successful team cooperation throughout the life of the project. The following list defines the basic elements that will be covered in the plan:
 Contract deliverables
 Specific quality control procedures
 Special quality control emphasis
 Responsibility and authority
 Budget and manpower requirements
 Overall project schedule and budget
 Project documentation requirements

Our proposed quality control plan for any project will be integrally associated with Willdan's in-house Quality Assurance Manual and our Project Manager's Manual. Willdan's Quality Assurance Manual provides consistency in completing the required services while retaining the flexibility to respond to a project's changing needs.

Willdan's quality control plan includes standard filing systems and file-naming conventions.

The objective of the quality control plan is to define a process for providing clarity, accuracy, coordination of documents, and constructability of design projects. This plan includes the processes whereby calculations, documents, deliverables, plans, and estimates are independently checked and reviewed by a California-registered engineer. Although this program addresses an individual disciplinary approach to quality control, it is important that project personnel realize the importance of multi-disciplinary reviews and close coordination between team members to complete the project.

Document Preparation and Review
All documents will be prepared in accordance with standard engineering practices. Each document prepared is to be checked and reviewed in accordance with the quality control plan elements summarized above.

Difference Resolution
During the review process, differences of opinion regarding procedures and methods will surface. Before proceeding, the reviewer and originator must agree upon the proper procedure. This will be done in a resolution meeting to identify why the decision was made. Items to be used in reaching the decision are:
 Design references itemized in the quality control plan  Engineering texts, publications, or guidelines published by accepted experts in their field  Sound engineering judgement and logic
When a difference remains, following the resolution meeting, the project manager will determine appropriate action. If the difference is outside the project manager's area of expertise, he will delegate the resolution to another senior staff member with the appropriate experience. In any situation, the project manager will review all resolutions and approve the final decision.

Quality Assurance
Willdan's management approach of assigning senior members of our staff provides the opportunity for accountability of quality to each project. The project manager has the responsibility of ensuring quality service and projects on schedule and within the established budgets. To accomplish this, the following elements are incorporated into each project:
 Project Kick-Off Meetings. All project team members, including all subconsultants, meet to discuss and clarify scope of task, schedules, and other pertinent information related to the service or project. This meeting is conducted upon the notice to proceed and prior to any work being done.  Frequent Communications. The appropriate persons from Willdan identified in the kick-off meeting are responsible for keeping the client up-to-date on project status and issues raised throughout the project.

This is accomplished through regular meetings, written status reports, or other means of communication requested.
 Periodic Updates through Project Status Meetings. At the project kick-off meeting, the project team determines and selects meeting or teleconference dates throughout the project to discuss coordination, issues, changes, and other information needed by all team members to keep the project on track in terms of quality, schedule, and budget.
 Objective Review of Projects by Peers. Prior to the submittal of a project to the client, the appropriate staff members review the project to ensure all information is accurate. The staff members assigned to do this are not directly involved in the project. This enables objectivity in the review and catches mistakes that may not be caught by staff members too close to the work.

Key Tasks
 General Administration & Meetings
 Preliminary Sewer Master Plan Report
 Final Sewer Master Plan Report
 Flow Monitoring – Although listed as an Optional Task, we feel this is required in order to calibrate the hydraulic models to reflect actual field conditions
 Hydraulic Modeling – Although listed as an Optional Task, hydraulic modeling must be conducted to evaluate, analyze, and plan for improvements to the sewer system.  GIS Database Development – Although listed as an Optional Task, GIS database development is essential to the development of the sewer master plan.

Work Plan
Task 1. General Administration, Meetings, and Presentations Throughout the course of the project, Mr. Stone will keep the City abreast of the project status. He will monitor the progress of the project, and adherence to the project scope, schedule and budget. We envision the project to involve periodic coordination with City staff and are budgeting 2 hours per week to cover this as well as the project administration duties.

A kick-off meeting will be conducted at the outset of the project to ensure all team members are clear on the scope of work, the work plan, and any project constraints. Subsequent monthly project meetings will be held with the City via teleconference. Agendas will be prepared for all meetings and delivered to the City 2 days prior to the meeting. Meeting minutes will be recorded, with action items noted, and distributed to attendees within 5 days of the meetings
Monthly progress reports detailing work performed, project concerns and work anticipated will accompany each monthly invoice.

Task 2. Preliminary Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Report
 Task 2.1: This task will begin with obtaining available as-builts, CCTV reports, and associated data from the City. This will be essential in developing the necessary sewer model for the City.  Task 2.2: Conduct site investigations to confirm information from the collected available existing information. It is noted that the City predicts that only 25% of the as-builts are available with other data being destroyed in the 1974 Sylmar earthquake. To accurately model the sewer system requires complete information on all sewer pipe sizes, slopes, material, and layout. The City’s current Sewer Master Plan, dated March 31, 2014, was prepared utilizing GIS information and GIS shapefiles for the mainlines will be made available. We will review the GIS database to determine areas where additional field information must be obtained.
 Task 2.3: The sewer system will be modeled using InfoSewer or OpenFlows Sewer. These are both GIS based software models which provide comprehensive system planning, analysis, and scenario management. Once the existing sewer information is catalogued, the system can then be analyzed to determine system deficiencies, necessary improvements, and improvements for future growth or land use changes. Future improvements will be prioritized into a 10-year CIP plan and will be displayed in project specific exhibits.
 Task 2.4: Available CCTV reports will be reviewed to determine maintenance hot-spots. A general maintenance plan will be developed to assist the City with its’ maintenance objectives.  Task 2.5: Future CIP projects which are identified will be planned with planning level cost estimates. The cost estimates will be based on recent bid tab information from the City as well as other nearby agencies to obtain the best available information.

 Task 2.6: The sewer system will be evaluated for any system wide improvements that are necessary to meet current City, County and State standards.
 Task 2.7: The City is developing a separate Sewer Impact Fee Study. The Sewer Master Plan will be evaluated to provide information which will be used by the Sewer Impact Fee Study.  Task 2.8: Preliminary Sewer Master Plan report. A draft sewer master plan will be developed and submitted to the City for review and comment.

Task 3. Final Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan Report
Willdan will utilize the City’s comments in its’ review of the Preliminary Sewer Master Plan Report and develop the Final report. The Final report will be sealed and signed by a California registered civil engineer and the deliverables will include digital copies of all project files and three (3) bound hard copies.

Task 4. Flow Monitoring
The Request for Proposal identifies this task as optional. However, it is generally accepted engineering practice to obtain sewer flow monitoring data and use it to calibrate the hydraulic model to reflect conditions measured in the field. Willdan will work with its’ subconsultant, Gold Coast Environmental, and the City to develop a Flow Monitoring Plan to identify strategic locations for the collection of sewer flow monitoring data. Five (5) locations will be monitored to obtain land use specific information. Gold Coast will prepare traffic control plans, acquire encroachment permits, install and remove flow monitoring devices. The devices will be in place for 14 consecutive days and will monitor flow velocity and depth.

Task 5. Develop and Calibrate Sewer Hydraulic Model
The Request for Proposal identifies this task as optional. However, the sewer master plan requires that a sewer hydraulic model be developed and calibrated with actual field data obtained from the Flow Monitoring. It is generally accepted engineering practice to obtain sewer flow monitoring data. The model will be developed from the comprehensive sewer network layout which will be developed from the review of available as-built information and subsequent field data collection. The network will then be “loaded” with anticipated sewer flows based on current zoning/land use and peaking factors. This loaded model will serve as a prediction of flows in the pipe network. The flow monitoring data will be utilized to determine sewer flow generation coefficients for each type of zoning/land use and the loaded model will be revised using the flow monitoring coefficients. The revised loaded model will then be the existing model.

The model will then be evaluated to determine deficiencies in the sewer network. CIP projects will be developed to correct system deficiencies. A future conditions model will be developed which will model the system under projected zoning/land use conditions. System deficiencies under the future conditions will also be determined and programmed into future CIP planning activities.

During the development of the hydraulic model, a Technical Memorandum will be developed which will document the methodology for determining sewer flows, model calibration techniques, peaking factor criteria, justification for flow monitoring locations, and data acquisition where necessary.

Willdan will coordinate with the City regarding software licensing for InfoSewer or OpenFlows Sewer.

Task 6. Develop Geographic Information System (GIS) Database The Request for Proposal identifies this task as optional. However, current industry standard is to utilize GIS based hydraulic sewer modeling. Willdan will utilize the information obtained and coordinate with the City to develop a comprehensive GIS database for the City’s sewer system. GIS attributes and layers will be developed to include sewer system physical parameters and will provide the City with the ability to track maintenance hot spots, sewer overflows, query and analyze data.

Sewer Area Study, City of Rolling Hills, CA. Project Manager responsible for a project to study the viability of extending sanitary sewer improvements to serve parcels currently on septic systems.

The study analyzed the immediate connection of the City Hall and City Tennis Court Site parcels, and the future connection of 235 upstream parcels. The nearest sewer line available for tie in is located approximately 1,300 feet downstream. The study analyzed the flow generated by downstream parcels conveying to the existing sewer line and then added the flow determined to be generated by the additional 235 parcels. The area modeled was approximately 900 acres. With the additional parcels conveying to the system, it was determined that segments downstream would need to be upsized from 8” to 12” and 1,300 LF of new 8” pipe would be required to connect the City Hall and Tennis Court Site. Concept level plans were developed to assist the City in developing a budget for the project. The Sewer Area Study was submitted to the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County to obtain a “Will Serve Letter” and to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works for its’ approval.

From: Kanika Kith, Interim City Manager
By: Wendell Johnson, Director of Public Works
Victor Meza, Water Operations Manager

Date: August 4, 2025
Subject: Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Setting the Date, Time and Place of a Majority Protest Public Hearing on the Proposed Water and Sewer Rates Increase and Proceed with Proposition 218 Process
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:
a. Accept the Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. 2025 Water and Sewer Rate Study (Attachment “A”); b. Approve its findings and proposed schedule of increased water and sewer service fees and charges; and
c. Adopt Resolution No. 8401 (Attachment “B”) authorizing the following actions, pursuant to the Proposition 218 process:

1. Set the date, time and location of a majority-protest public hearing for October 6, 2025;

2. Approve the master list of affected real property parcels (Attachment “C”);

3. Approve rules and procedures for the submission of written protests (Exhibit “A” of Attachment “A”); and

4. Direct City staff to undertake all other procedures required by law, including the issuance and mailing of the 45-day public hearing prop 218 notice to affected property owners (Attachment “D”).

BACKGROUND:

1. In 2004, a rate increase of eight percent (8%) for water and 18‐20% for sewer services was approved by the City Council. This adjustment helped keep the Water Enterprise Fund financially stable and covered the rising costs of producing water.

August 4, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 455 of 770 Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Setting the Date, Time and Place of a Majority Protest Public Hearing on the Proposed Water and Sewer Rates Increase and Proceed with Proposition 218 Process

2. On November 11, 2011, the City Council approved additional water and sewer rates. The rates showed a seven percent (7%) increase to water services and nine percent (9%) increase to sewer services.

3. On November 26, 2019, the City Council approved the most recent water and sewer rates.

The rates depicted a 35% increase to water services and 27% increase to sewer services over five (5) years.

4. On January 21, 2025, the City Council approved a Professional Service Agreement with Robert D. Niehaus, Inc. (Contract No. 2336) to prepare a water and sewer utility rate study in accordance with Proposition 218 requirements.

5. On June 16, 2025, the City council received a presentation on the proposed Water and Sewer Rate Study on the initial financial plan recommendations and rate impacts. The City Council directed staff to move forward with finalizing the cost of service and rate recommendations based on the proposed financial plan.

ANALYSIS:

Water and sewer rate studies are essential tools for ensuring the long-term financial health and operational sustainability of municipal utility systems. These studies provide a comprehensive evaluation of the current and projected costs associated with delivering reliable water and wastewater services—taking into account operations, maintenance, infrastructure replacement, regulatory compliance, and capital improvement needs.

Conducting rate studies on a regular basis allows the City to responsibly plan for and fund necessary investments in aging infrastructure, accommodate future growth, and maintain service quality and public health standards. These studies also promote transparency and equity by evaluating whether current rate structures fairly distribute costs among customers and whether revenues are adequate to meet both current obligations and future system needs.

Water and sewer rate fees are viewed as property-related fees for a utility service and are subject to specific requirements of the California Constitution Article XIII D 6(a) commonly referred to as Proposition (Prop) 218. The requirements listed under Prop 218 include:
• Fees must only cover expenses to provide services to the customer assessed. • Any proposed fee increase must go through a protest process, where all affected property owners are notified and given the opportunity to submit written protests at a public hearing. If a majority of property owners submit valid protests, the proposed increase cannot be implemented.
• A multi-year schedule of fee increases is allowed for up to five (5) years.

August 4, 2025 Special & Regular CC Mtg Page 456 of 770 Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Setting the Date, Time and Place of a Majority Protest Public Hearing on the Proposed Water and Sewer Rates Increase and Proceed with Proposition 218 Process

The current Water and Sewer Rate for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 through FY 2024-2025 was approved on November 26, 2019, following a Proposition 218 protest-ballot notification process, public hearing, and action by the City Council.

Findings.

The proposed 2025 Water and Sewer Rate Study for the City, outlined in Attachment “A” looks to fund ongoing capital needs as well as account for the unprecedented inflation which has occurred since 2021 on both operating costs and capital costs. The water financial plan includes funding for an average of approximately $1 million a year in rate funded capital projects. The sewer financial plan includes average annual funding of approximately $600,000.

Each year, the water utility’s operating costs are expected to rise by about four percent (4%), and the sewer utility’s operating costs by about 3.6%. To cover these increases, fully fund capital projects, and maintain healthy reserves, this financial plan proposes increasing revenue by five percent (5%) annually for the water utility and three percent (3%) annually for the sewer utility.

Proposed Rates.

The rates design process was developed to ensure that costs are equitably distributed to customers based on the impact those customers have on the utility systems. In addition to the general updates to the rate structure, the proposed rate schedule includes a pass-through charge for water use if the City must rely on more expensive purchased water from the Metropolitan Water District, which ensures that utility reserves will not be significantly affected.

Community Engagement Plan – Proposition 218 Process.

Proposition 218, approved by California voters in 1996, establishes strict procedural and substantive requirements for imposing or increasing property-related fees and charges, including water, sewer, and refuse service rates. The key goal is to ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in how local governments charge for essential services. A summary of the Proposition 218 Process is outlined as follows:
• Notice to Property Owners: The agency must mail a written notice to all affected property owners at least 45 days before the public hearing. The notice will be mailed in English and Spanish. The notice must include:
o The proposed rates or changes
o The basis for the calculation
o The date, time, and location of the public hearing
o Instructions on how to file a written protest

• Public Hearing: A public hearing must be held at least 45 days after mailing the notices.

The hearing provides an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed rates and for the agency to respond.
• Protest Counting: If a majority (50% + 1) of affected property owners submit written protests before the close of the hearing, the rate increase cannot be adopted. Protests must be in writing and include the parcel address and a signature. • Rate Adoption: If a majority protest is not received, the agency may adopt the proposed rates through a vote of the governing body (e.g., City Council). • Customer Rate Notification: The City will be notifying customers of the new water and sewer rates through a bill insert included with utility bills. In addition, a separate mailed notice will be sent to ensure all customers are informed of the changes. These notices will provide details about the new rates and when they will take effect.

Public Outreach Workshops.

In an effort to enhance transparency and community involvement, Robert D. Niehaus Inc. and City staff will conduct two (2) public engagement meetings to present the results of the study to the community. The workshops are geared to provide information to the community to help provide a clear picture of which priorities were emphasized and why.
