TO: Finance Committee
FROM: Water Resources Division, Public Works Department; Environmental Services Division, Sustainability & Resilience Department
SUBJECT: Proposed Updates To Wastewater And Solid Waste Rates RECOMMENDATION: That Finance Committee:

A. Receive a presentation on proposed wastewater rates for Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025, and solid waste rates for Fiscal Year 2023;
B. Set a Public Hearing date for June 14, 2022, at 2:00 p.m., for consideration of changes to the City’s wastewater and solid waste rates; and C. Direct staff to send a Notice of Public Hearing to customers informing them of the Public Hearing and proposed changes to wastewater and solid waste rates.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City’s wastewater system plays an essential role in protecting public health and the environment. Maintaining the City’s wastewater system requires a proactive commitment to investing in the capital infrastructure and resources necessary to keep this vital system operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The Wastewater Fund revenues must be sufficient to meet the ongoing cost of operating and maintaining the City’s wastewater system, including investing in capital improvements, meeting mandated standards of treatment, servicing long-term debt obligations, and maintaining Council required reserve levels.

To evaluate the Wastewater Fund’s revenue sufficiency, the City’s rate consultant analyzed a planning period that included Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025. Over this time period, the total revenue requirement for the Wastewater Fund is increasing due to rising operations and maintenance costs, an anticipated increase in water conservation, and thus a decrease in wastewater flows, investment in capital, debt obligations, and council reserve funding requirements. As a result, the City’s rate consultant is recommending increases in the City’s wastewater rates to sufficiently meet the needs of the wastewater utility over the next three years. Additionally, some adjustments to the rate design are recommended to reflect current customer characteristics.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
Proposed Updates To Wastewater And Solid Waste Rates
March 29, 2022

Solid waste management is essential to maintaining Santa Barbara as a beautiful and environmentally responsible city. By partnering with the County and neighboring jurisdictions, the City is funding a state-of-the-art Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) that helps minimize material disposed of in the landfill. Additionally, the City implements strategic programs to ensure compliance with rapidly-developing State regulations and to support local community health and safety.

DISCUSSION:

Wastewater Rate Changes for Fiscal Years 2023, 2024, and 2025 Background
The City’s wastewater system plays an essential role in protecting public health and the environment. Maintaining the City’s wastewater system requires a proactive commitment to investing in the capital infrastructure and resources necessary to keep this vital system operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The City’s complex wastewater system includes 256 miles of sewer mains, 7 lift stations, 25 creek crossings, over 7,000 access structures (manholes and cleanouts), two miles of pressurized force mains, and the El Estero Water Resource Center (El Estero) – all of which must operate seamlessly to process approximately 2 billion gallons of wastewater annually. The El Estero Facility Plan identifies over $95 million in capital improvements needed over the next 20 years.

As an enterprise fund, the wastewater utility is dependent on user rates as the primary funding source for the operations, maintenance, and capital improvements needed to keep the utilities functioning reliably and in compliance with federal and state regulations. Using rate revenue to make regular investments in the City’s wastewater collection system and El Estero is critical to protecting the health and safety of the community and environment.

On September 28, 2021, City Council authorized staff to contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) to complete a wastewater rate study, capacity charge study, and a 10-year financial plan. HDR and staff have been presenting regularly to the Water Commission to receive feedback and input on the policy direction of rate development. Included below is a summary of the public meetings:

Revenue Requirement and Cost-of-Service Analysis
On a long-term basis, revenues must be sufficient to meet the cost of the City’s Wastewater System, including operations and maintenance expenses, capital improvements, mandated standards of treatment, principal and interest payments on existing debt, reserves, and other obligations. All of these factors contribute to an overall average annual revenue requirement of about 7%. An approximate breakdown of the revenue requirement is as follows:
 Inflationary Increase to O&M, 3%:
o As with other parts of the economy, the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to increases in operations and maintenance costs. The costs of chemicals, for example, have seen substantial increases during the pandemic.
 Capital Improvements, 2%:
o Maintaining this system requires a proactive commitment to investing in the capital infrastructure and resources necessary to keep this vital system operating and protecting public health and safety. The Covid19 pandemic has also contributed to increases in construction costs.  Debt Service and Reserves, 1%:
o Low-interest State loans are used to finance various capital projects.

Revenues must be maintained to cover debt service payments and debt service coverage ratios. Revenues must also be sufficient to meet City Council reserve policy targets. As capital improvement projects are completed, levels of required reserves increase.
 Drought Impacts, 1%:
o Current dry conditions and possible State water conservation requirements are anticipated to drive down water and wastewater use, which results in reductions in wastewater revenue. Because most system costs are fixed, this revenue must be recovered. The rate model assumes 2% annual water conservation in anticipation of this reduction in water usage and wastewater flows.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
Proposed Updates To Wastewater And Solid Waste Rates
March 29, 2022

It is important to note that the overall system rate-revenue increase of 7% does not necessarily equate to a 7% rate increase to all customers. Bill impacts will depend on customer class and level of service. For example, a single-family residence with average water use may see different impacts than a commercial customer.

The total revenue requirement less non-rate revenue from other sources is defined as the “cost of service” for any given fiscal year. After determining the cost of service, rates are then designed to apportion the cost of service among the customer classes, according to the proportionate share of costs of service attributable to the customer classes and tiers within classes. A cost-of-service analysis is forward-looking and determines the proportional distribution of the revenue requirement to the various customer classes of service (i.e., residential, commercial).

Proposed Rates
Currently, wastewater volumetric charges are assessed on single-family units and small multi-family residential properties (2-4 dwelling units) for only a portion of their water use.

The purpose of limiting the applicable billing units is to recognize that water use above a certain level is likely being used for outdoor watering, which does not enter into the wastewater collection system or receive treatment at El Estero. In this report, the word “cap” refers to the quantity of metered water, in hundred cubic feet (HCF), after which residential customers are not charged wastewater fees for volumetric use.

Single-Family Residences
Current single-family residential rates include a fixed charge and a volumetric charge based on metered water consumption, with a cap at 10 HCF. In looking at the single-family class, HDR studied the cap in relation to current water usage trends. Many years of drought have created a “new normal” for average water usage as customers have made permanent changes to their properties and habits to reduce water usage. Analysis of current usage trends finds that on average, a single-family’s monthly winter water usage (December – March) is about 8 HCF. Winter water usage is a reasonable approximation of how much water is being used indoors and thus discharged to the City’s wastewater system, as irrigation should be minimal in winter months. For the above reasons, HDR is recommending reducing the 10 HCF cap for single-family residences to 8 HCF. The change to the billing cap will be phased in over the rate-setting period. The cap will be lowered to 9 HCF in Fiscal Year 2023, and then to 8 HCF in Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025.

Multi-Family Residences
Similar to single-family, the multi-family residential rates include a fixed component and a volumetric component based on potable water use. Currently, if a single water meter serves two to four detached dwelling units, or a dwelling unit attached to no more than three additional dwelling units, the billing cap is set at 10 HCF per dwelling unit, the same cap as single-family residential customers. A single meter serving five or more dwelling units, or serving a dwelling unit attached to four or more additional dwelling units, is not subject to a Finance Committee Agenda Report

volumetric cap. The current rate structure is designed to use the relationship between the number of units served by a single meter as a means to differentiate between multi-family complexes with water use patterns similar to single-family residences, and more dense multi-family complexes with little to no outdoor watering areas.

However, when analyzing water usage patterns of accounts on properties with 2-4 dwelling units, HDR found more similarities in water usage patterns with the 5+ dwelling unit customer class, rather than the single-family customer class. The single-family customer class on average has noticeable differences between winter water usage and summer water usage, indicating a strong irrigation pattern. This makes a cap necessary, as irrigation water does not discharge to the City’s wastewater system. However, similar to the 5+ dwelling unit customer class, the 2-4 unit customer class does not show significant differences per dwelling unit between winter water usage and summer water usage. This indicates most water usage within this customer class is occurring indoors and is thus being discharged as wastewater to El Estero. HDR is recommending that the cap for the 2-4 unit customer class be removed and to charge for all water usage like the multi-family 5+ dwelling unit accounts.

This change will affect a small portion of 2-4 unit multi-family developments, as most water use is currently below the existing caps. There are some accounts, however, that staff will contact and recommend various conservation measures, such as drought-tolerant landscaping and replacement of outdated plumbing fixtures, or installing an irrigation meter, to lessen the impact of this change.

HDR’s recommended changes will better reflect the amount of wastewater being discharged into the collection system and treated at El Estero.

Commercial and Commercial High/Industrial
Currently, there are two commercial classes in the adopted wastewater rate structure:

Commercial and Commercial High Strength/Industrial. These customer classes are billed volumetrically, subject to a minimum charge based on meter size. HDR is recommending recalibrating the minimum charge to reflect current customer characteristics. This change is being phased in in year 2 of the rate adoption period (Fiscal Year 2024).

High Strength Surcharge Fee
During the City’s last wastewater rate study, HDR recommended the addition of a high strength wastewater surcharge fee to cover the additional treatment costs associated with waste streams with unusually high strength. Discharges that fall in this category include but are not limited to, domestic septic tank/portable restroom discharges, industrial laundry services, and alcohol beverage manufacturing (brewery, wineries, and distilleries). This surcharge has been implemented and HDR recommends maintaining the surcharge. The cost-of-service analysis has determined the proportional allocation of costs on a per pound basis for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and Ammonia. Staff has conducted outreach to the customer most predominately affected by Finance Committee Agenda Report

the surcharge, Marborg Industries, a large domestic septic tank/portable restroom hauling service and receiving station, to communicate planned increases to the surcharge.

Solid Waste Rate Changes for Fiscal Year 2023
Background
Staff from the County and the Cities of Santa Barbara, Goleta, Buellton, and Solvang have worked together since 2008 to explore the development of a Resource Recovery Project (ReSource Center) at the Tajiguas Landfill. The goal of the ReSource Center is to significantly increase the diversion of trash from landfill disposal, thereby extending the life of Tajiguas, and providing a long-term waste management solution for the South Coast.

On July 12, 2016, the County executed a Waste Services Contract with MSB Investors, LLC (MSB), to design, build, and operate the ReSource Center at a cost of $110.8 million. The project, now complete, consists of a MRF that sorts the trash and recovers recyclable commodities, as well as an Anaerobic Digester that converts organics recovered from the MRF into compostable material and biogas.

The County financed the ReSource Center through the issuance of bonds. To ensure repayment of the debt and honor the County’s financial obligations to MSB, each jurisdiction, including the City, committed its waste and the associated tipping fee revenue stream to the project through the execution of a 22-year Materials Delivery Agreement (MDA) between the City and the County, which was approved by City Council in December 2016.

Due to a number of delays in the spring of 2017 and several facility redesigns, the project costs increased to $134 million. Construction began in December 2018, and the ReSource Center became operational in summer 2021.

In October of 2021, the Alisal Fire impacted operations at the Tajiguas landfill, temporarily halting waste processing and causing an estimated $15-20 million in damages. The County is working with its insurance to cover these costs, and has not proposed to adjust the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 tipping fees to reflect the fiscal impacts of the fire. Currently, materials are being actively recovered and diverted, which will put participating jurisdictions in compliance with diversion requirements associated with SB 1383.

Since FY19, the tipping fees for solid waste and recycling processed by the County at the South Coast Transfer Station and the Tajiguas Landfill have increased significantly in order to fund the construction of the ReSource Center. Initially, the FY18 tipping fees of $87 per ton were increased to $102 per ton in FY19. Tipping fees have continued to increase each year – increasing to $150 per ton in FY20, $158 per ton in FY21, $164 per ton in FY22, and tipping fees will once again increase in FY23 to $170 per ton. The large increases were part of the MDA with the County to fund the loan, construction, and operating costs for the ReSource Center; the tipping fees have now reached the level necessary to fund the ReSource Center, so annual tipping fee increases now reflect smaller normal adjustments for inflation and other operating costs of the disposal facilities.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
Proposed Updates To Wastewater And Solid Waste Rates
March 29, 2022

Fiscal Year 2023 Rate Increase
Several factors inform the proposed FY23 rates. The increase of County tipping fees to $170 per ton in FY23 will increase overall solid waste rates by 1.3 percent. Additionally, the MarBorg contract is annually adjusted by the consumer price index, which results in a rate increase of 4.7 percent for FY23. Also, the proposed Environmental Services budget increases the Abandoned Waste fee by $350,000 in order to meet increased demand for homeless camp abatement. These increases combined will increase solid waste rates by an additional 1.1 percent.

Staff is also proposing changes to the Environmental Services supplemental fees as part of the budget process. Despite a proposed increase of $400,000 to the CleanSB program to enhance services, overall supplemental fees are proposed to decrease by $1.4 million. This is due to the fact that Environmental Services policy reserves are projected to be fully funded in FY23 and the related revenue requirements are being removed from the proposed budget. The overall combined changes to the supplemental fees is a rate increase mitigation of -4.1%.

The combination of these adjustments results in a 3.0% total increase for solid waste rates, as outlined by the table below.

Santa Barbara Rate Increases Effective July 1, 2022
CPI Increase to MarBorg Services 4.7%
Tipping Fee Increase 1.3%
Abandoned Waste Fee Increase 1.1%
Supplemental Fees Increase -4.1%
Total Increase for July 2022 3.0%
Schedule of Adoption
If approved by the Finance Committee, the proposed rates would be noticed in compliance with Proposition 218, and a Public Hearing would be scheduled before City Council on June 14, 2022, prior to the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2023 budget.

The Water Commission reviewed this item at a regular meeting on March 17, 2022, and voted unanimously in support of staff’s recommendation for the proposed wastewater rates.

BUDGET/FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

HDR’s proposed average annual rate-revenue increases of 7 percent will ensure that the Wastewater Fund continues to fund critical capital improvements and ongoing operations.

Finance Committee Agenda Report
Proposed Updates To Wastewater And Solid Waste Rates
March 29, 2022

Under the proposed solid waste rates, the City will fulfill its contractual obligations to the County for waste processing and to MarBorg for franchised waste hauling services. The proposed rates also enable compliance with new State regulations and fund additional management of homelessness issues and community cleanups.

SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:

The City’s wastewater system is responsible for collecting and treating approximately 2 billion gallons of wastewater annually. This service is integral for protecting our local environment, creek and ocean water quality in particular. The proposed rate increases will ensure that the wastewater collection system and El Estero Water Resource Center can continue to operate successfully 24/7/365.

The City’s participation in the ReSource Center is integral to managing our solid waste responsibly. It is a local solution that reduces transportation-related carbon emissions while producing renewable energy from the anaerobic digestion facility. It also extends the useful life of the Tajiguas landfill while diverting more recyclable materials for reuse and turning organic material into an agricultural input rather than a source of difficult to capture landfillgenerated greenhouse gas emissions.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed rate action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines § 15273— exemption for establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates and charges for the purpose of meeting ongoing operation, maintenance, and capital expenses necessary to maintain service within existing service areas.

FISCAL YEARS 2023, 2024, AND 2025
You are receiving this notice because our records indicate that you are a City of Santa Barbara utility customer. If you are not a City wastewater customer, please disregard this Notice.

This Notice describes proposed changes to wastewater rates and explains how you can participate in the public process. The City’s wastewater rates are based on a comprehensive rate study that uses a rate model to evaluate the cost of wastewater service, as required by Article XIII D, Section 6 of the California constitution.

Why are wastewater rates changing?
The City’s wastewater system plays a leading role in the protection of public health and the environment.

Maintaining the wastewater system requires a proactive commitment to investing in the capital infrastructure and resources necessary to keep this vital system operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The proposed rate changes will enable the City to meet the needs of the wastewater system, including operation and maintenance costs, capital improvements, mandated standards of treatment, debt service, contingency reserves, and other financial obligations.

What goes into a wastewater bill?
Residential wastewater bills are made up of two key components: (1) a volumetric charge based on water usage, and (2) a fixed monthly base charge. For single-family customers, wastewater volumetric charges are not charged over a certain level of water use. Commercial customers are charged the greater of their volumetric charges or minimum monthly bill amount based on meter size.

How do I stay informed?
 Watch City Council meetings online at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/CityTV or tune in to City TV Channel 18.  Explore information on rate changes at SantaBarbaraCA.gov/WaterRateChanges.  Contact City staff at (805) 564-5387.

PROPOSED TRASH & RECYCLING
RATE CHANGES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023
You are receiving this Notice because our records indicate that you are a City of Santa Barbara utility customer. This Notice describes the proposed trash and recycling rate changes, and explains how you can file a protest and participate in the process. Some customers are billed by the City for some, but not all services. This notice applies only to the services that appear on your bill from the City.

Trash & Recycling Revenue Requirement Increases
The proposed July 1, 2022 rate schedule increase for all sectors is 3.0%. According to the contract terms with the City’s waste hauler, the City must increase rates to pay MarBorg for increases in inflation of 4.7% as measured by the Consumer Price Index, plus 1.3% for an increase in processing and disposal fees. Clean SB programs require a 1.1% increase. Reserve levels have been met in accordance with the fund reserve policy, enabling a discontinuation of reserve recovery fees, which provides a -4.1% rate increase mitigation, resulting in a total proposed rate schedule increase for all sectors of 3.0%.

ReSource Center
In order to meet State of California’s 2020 recycling and climate legislative requirements, the City worked with the County of Santa Barbara and other regional cities to construct the ReSource Center, a regional waste processing facility designed to divert at least 60% of our brown bin waste from landfill disposal. To do this, the project includes a facility that pulls out recyclables mistakenly sent to the landfill and an anaerobic digester to process organic material. The facility is located at the Tajiguas landfill and began processing our waste in the summer of 2021. To fund the construction of the ReSource Center, the fee for receiving trash and recycling from the City of Santa Barbara is increasing from $164 per ton to $170 per ton on July 1st, 2022. For more information about the ReSource Center, please visit the County of Santa Barbara’s website, www.lessismore.org.

Clean SB and Discontinuation of Reserves Recovery Fees
Clean SB is a City program that maintains public spaces for the health and beauty of the community; additional funds are being allocated for coordinating homelessness services and increased need for encampment cleanups. Beginning in Fiscal Year 2019, the City implemented a reserves recovery fee to fulfill a policy reserve to ensure sufficient operating capital; the reserve is projected to be fully funded in Fiscal year 2023, so the fees are being removed from the revenue requirement, which lowers the amount by which the rates need to be increased.

How Can I Lower My Trash Bill?
In general, some customers may be able to lower their bills by “right-sizing” their service. Customers can make sure that they are diverting lower-cost recyclables from their higher-cost trash containers, increasing recycling service while decreasing trash service, if possible. Many Business and Large Residential (5+ unit) customers are also subscribed to more greenwaste service than they need, especially if they have landscapers that can selfhaul trimmings instead of using greenwaste containers for disposal.

When do the new rates take effect?
City Council will consider adopting these rates on June 21, 2022 (one week after the public hearing). The new rates will be effective starting July 1, 2022.
* Not including 6% utility tax on trash/recycling collection, as applicable How do I protest?
If you wish to submit a written protest of any of the above increases, your protest must be received by the City Clerk of the City of Santa Barbara at 735 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, CA, 93101, prior to the City Council’s consideration of this item on June 14, 2022.

That Ordinance Committee forward a recommendation to City Council regarding a proposed Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Amending the Municipal Code by Amending Sections 1.25.050, 30.205.050, 30.205.160, and 30.280.030 Relating to Review of Development Projects for Pre-Existing Code Violations.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The City’s Municipal Code currently requires abatement of pre-existing code violations on a site when a development application is submitted to the City for discretionary review.

Under the City’s existing code, a development application cannot be deemed complete unless abatement of all violations is shown on the plans. This can lead to delays in the application review process, particularly if the property owner was previously unaware that code violations existed on the property.

In February 2020, the City hired The Novak Consulting Group (Novak) to identify and recommend opportunities for organizational and process improvements in land development services citywide, including streamlining project review and improving communications and customer relations. In August 2020, Novak issued the Land Development Process Improvement Project Report (Novak Report), which identified 31 recommendations for improvement. Recommendation No. 19 specifically addresses the current requirement to abate code violations as part of the discretionary application process (Novak Report, page 39):

Recommendation 19: Complete necessary policy and/or code revisions to allow greater focus of review on the scope of work for the project in question.… If violations File Code No. 640.09
Ordinance Committee Report
Municipal Code Amendments Relating To Review Of Development Projects For PreExisting Code Violations March 29, 2022

are discovered during plan review, correcting them should become an enforcement case, not part of the discretionary review or ministerial permit approval….

Proposed Ordinance Amendments
If approved, the proposed amendments to Municipal Code 1.25.050, 30.205.050,

30.205.160, and 30.280.030 would achieve three main goals related to Recommendation 19 of the Novak Report:

1. It provides the owner/applicant with the ability to choose from several options to abate pre-existing violations;

2. If the owner/applicant chooses to defer abatement of violations, it does not delay the processing of an application that is unrelated to the violations; and

3. It provides staff with the ability to give individual attention when determining the remedy for pre-existing violations.

Planning Commission Meetings
The Planning Commission reviewed these amendments on February 3, 2021, April 8, 2021, and December 2, 2021 (Attachment 2 – Planning Commission Staff Report).

Additionally, a working group consisting of Commissioners Higgins, Bonderson, and Reed further discussed the proposed code revisions with Community Development and City Attorney staff on February 12, 2021, February 26, 2021, September 10, 2021, and November 5, 2021.

During the first hearing, some Planning Commissioners expressed concern that the ordinance amendments presented that day did not adequately address the Novak Report recommendation and, as a result, the Commission continued the matter and appointed a working group to discuss the issue further with Community Development and City Attorney staff.

On April 8, 2021, the item returned to the Planning Commission with five options.

Proposed ordinance amendments were provided for four of the five options presented.

Staff did not provide proposed ordinance language for Option 5, which left the timing of abatement of violations at either the owner’s discretion or with enforcement action only upon receipt of a complaint. Staff was concerned that this option would remove from the Municipal Code the express authority to condition development on the correction of existing violations and would restrict staff enforcement of land use regulations to complaint-based violations. The item was sent back to staff and the working group with consideration of Commissioners’ comments made that day.

The working group and staff met two additional times to discuss how to provide more flexibility for applicants and streamline the application process by handling unrelated issues separately while also maintaining the City’s obligations as a regulatory agency.

The working group also wanted to ensure that the amendments addressed Recommendation No. 19 of the Novak Report.

Ordinance Committee Report
Municipal Code Amendments Relating To Review Of Development Projects For PreExisting Code Violations March 29, 2022

On December 2, 2021, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed amendments recommended by both the working group and staff, to further streamline the City’s development review process while providing options to resolve unrelated pre-existing code violations. After some discussion to verify that the text changes reflected the intent of the proposed amendments, the Planning Commission unanimously forwarded a recommendation to City Council to adopt amendments to Sections 1.25.050, 30.205.050,

30.205.160, and 30.280.030 of the Municipal Code (Attachment 3 – Planning Commission Meeting Minutes).

Conclusion
The proposed amendments to Chapters 1.25, 30.205, and 30.280 are consistent with other efforts to streamline the permitting process and avoid conflict with case law. The proposed amendments also outline the City’s enforcement policy and priorities, clearly identifying the various options for abatement both with the current development application and outside of the development application process. Additionally, the amendments grant the Community Development Director the authority to determine the standards for abatement of outstanding violations when minimal information is available.

The recommended amendments will result in more clarity and certainty in the development application review process without compromising the City’s ability to resolve outstanding violations on a site. The proposed changes do not affect other methods to address code violations, including administrative citation, civil abatement, or criminal prosecution. The proposed ordinance amendments do not affect any zoning or development standards or change any zoning designation or boundary.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:

The proposed ordinance amendments are not a project subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15060.

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
AGENDA DATE: March 29, 2022
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: City Administrator’s Office
SUBJECT: Introduction Of Ordinance Approving The 2021-2023 Patrol Officers’ And Treatment Plants’ Bargaining Units (TAP) Memorandum Of Understanding
RECOMMENDATION:

That Council ratify the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Service Employees' International Union, Local 620, Airport and Harbor Patrol Officers' and Treatment Plants' Bargaining Units, for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023, by introduction and subsequent adoption of, by reading of title only, An Ordinance of the Council of the City of Santa Barbara Adopting the 2021-2023 Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Santa Barbara and the Patrol Officers' and Treatment Plants' Bargaining Units (TAP Units).

DISCUSSION:

City Negotiators have reached a new two-year labor agreement with the Treatment and Patrol (TAP) bargaining units. The TAP Units encompass 129 budgeted positions, including water and wastewater workers, airport and harbor patrol officers, airport operations staff, and park rangers. The TAP 2019-2021 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) expired on September 30, 2021. The agreement was ratified by the Union membership on March 21, 2022.

The following is a list of negotiated items:

Salaries
Employees will receive a 3.0% base salary increase effective April 9, 2022 and a 3.0% increase on September 24, 2022. With negotiations extending beyond the September 30, 2021, MOU expiration date, the City will provide a one-time lump sum payment of $1,000.00, as theCity no longer provides retroactive salary increases due to the complicated administration and system limitations.

Professional Certification Pay
The City will also provide an EMT-D allowance of $100 per pay period to Harbor Patrol Officers who have this certification. The City currently provides additional compensation to Fire personnel that have this same EMT-D certification.
