City Council
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jessaca Lugo, City Manager
DATE: June 4, 2024
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND POSSIBLE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CITY MUNICIPAL CODE SECTIONS FOR WATER RATES
AND CHARGES
FILE NO.: W-100-755-_____
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council complete the second and final reading of the ordinance adopting water rate changes starting July 1, 2024, originally approved at the May 21, 2024, City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND
On May 21st, the City Council received a presentation from Sanjay Gaur of Water Resources Economics, who outlined the results of the recent water rates study for the City water utility.
Following a thorough discussion, the City Council approved a water rate ordinance based on the study's recommendations and scheduled it for a second reading at the next City Council meeting on June 4, 2024.
In compliance with Proposition 218, the City notified customers and property owners about the proposed water utility rate increases through direct mail. Additionally, staff posted the notification and detailed information on the City's website to help customers understand the rate changes.
The City has addressed numerous inquiries from customers, providing personalized responses regarding how the rate adjustments will affect their monthly bills. At the May 21st Proposition 218 meeting, the City read the number of protests received into the record and confirmed that a majority of protests had not been received.
FURTHER BACKGROUND REGARDING THE CITY’S WATER UTILITY:
31 The City of Shasta Lake (City) operates an independent and self-supporting water utility enterprise. Revenue collected through user rates are exclusively used within the fund to cover operations, maintenance, and capital improvements (with project guidance provided by the City’s 2016-2026 Water Master Plan).
As of 2023, the City’s water utility generally consists of the following components and assets:
• Water Supply: The City has the following long-term water contracts in place (agency as noted): 4480 Acre-Feet (Central Valley Project) and 2000 AF (Anderson-Cottonwood Irrigation District, available April - October). Additional single-year water is typically available for purchase from the McConnell Foundation located in Redding, CA; however, the available amount is severely curtailed during drought years and can be expensive. • Water Treatment: All water received by the City is withdrawn from intake piping within Shasta Dam and pumped to the City’s Fisherman’s Point Water Treatment Plant (WTP) via a US Bureau of Reclamation-owned pump station and transmission system. The WTP, with a maximum production capacity of approximately 9.72 million gallons per day (MGD), and a firm capacity (one filter offline) of about 6.5 MGD, treats all water used by the City.
• Transmission and Distribution System: The distribution system includes approximately 60 miles of pipelines consisting of steel, cast iron, asbestos cement, and polyvinyl chloride piping. Most of the steel piping is pre-1960 vintage with a large portion of smaller diameter mains (less than 5-inch) being installed prior to 1950. • Storage: The City currently operates one (1) raw water (0.14 MG) and eight (8) potable water (total of approximately 5.5 MG) steel storage tanks.
The City, along with the Shasta Dam Area Public Utilities District that preceded it, has been tracking water usage through metering in our service area for many years. In the 1980’s, the SDAPUD implemented tiered water rates to encourage water conservation. The effect was a series of year-over-year usage decreases - in 1988, SDAPUD used approximately 2189 acrefeet of water; in 1990, usage was reduced to 1889 AF, a reduction of 13.8% for a population of approximately 8,833 people. For comparison, the City’s last unconstrained water year was 2019, where we used approximately 2054 AF for a population of approximately 10,374 people.
The 2016 the City underwent a comprehensive water rates study, where new water rates were implemented July 1, 2017; the 2017 five-year increases consisted of 30% (FY 2017); 15% (FY 2018); 10% (FY 2019); 0% (FY 2020); 0% (FY 2021) rate increases. Consequently, the City has refrained from raising rates for our customers since 2020/2021, despite a cumulative 18% increase in inflation over the same period.
In March 2023, the City Council instructed staff to adopt a uniform rate structure, abandoning the previous residential three-tier system. Since September 2023, City staff engaged Water Resources Economics, a consulting firm, to undertake a uniform rate study. Collaborating with the City's ad-hoc committee, the staff and consultant have developed the uniform rate study presented at the May 21st public hearing before the City Council and the community.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASES:
32 The City’s proposed water rate structure includes the following changes:
• Rate revenue adjustments of 25% in FY 2025 and 6% annually from FY 2026 through FY 2029.
• Lifeline program discount of $4 per customer per month, applied on the monthly service charge.
• Uniform consumption charges per hcf of water use for all customer classes. • Increasing fixed revenue recovery percentage from 45% to 54% for financial stability • Drought rates based on six drought stages from the City’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan to recover lost revenue during periods of government-mandated usage cutbacks.
• Water supply surcharges to recover additional costs associated with purchasing ACID and McConnell water during constrained water supply years.

Re: Letter of Support – School Bond Measure
The City of Shasta Lake City Council (“City”) supports the Gateway Unified School District’s (“GUSD”) upcoming school bond measure, set to appear on the ballot this November. The City firmly believes that investing in our schools is crucial for the prosperity of our community.
Our educational institutions, including Grand Oaks, Shasta Lake School, Gateway Educational Options/Mountain Lakes High School, and Central Valley High School, form the backbone of our community, making it vital that they receive the resources necessary to deliver a high-quality education. The proposed bond measure aims to address the following critical needs in our district:
1. Modernizing Facilities: Many of our school buildings are outdated and in need of significant repairs and upgrades. Improved facilities will create a safer and more conducive learning environment for our students.
2. Enhancing Technology: In today's digital age, access to modern technology is crucial for students to remain competitive. The bond will fund the purchase of up-to-date technological resources that will prepare our students for the future.
3. Expanding Programs: The bond measure will support the expansion of programs, including Career Technical Education facilities, to ensure that our students have access to strong vocational skills.
4. Increasing Safety: Ensuring the safety of our students and staff is a top priority. Funds from the bond will be used to provide better accessibility and security measures across all schools in the district, providing a safer learning environment.
The City acknowledges that GUSD has not requested a bond in 16 years, resulting in deferred improvements. Understanding the burden on the community, GUSD will not request the maximum amount. The City believes that investing in our schools is investing in our future. Quality education attracts families, supports local businesses, and increases property values. By supporting this bond measure, the City is committing to our children's future and our community's long-term goals.
Very truly yours,
JANICE POWELL

WHY A BOND?
GUSD has not sought out
a bond for 16 years, the
longest gap in Shasta
County school districts.
Schools have limited
abilities to update
infrastructure and
facilities to keep up
with rising operational
costs.
The GUSD respects our
community’s tax dollars
and will not seek the
highest dollar amount
from our community.
Bonds allow school
districts to make much
needed upgrades
without impacting
teachers and student
programs.

WHAT CAN
WE EXPECT?
HOW WILL THIS
IMPROVE OUR
SCHOOLS?
There is a growing
body of evidence
asserting that
higher-quality
school buildings
translate to better
academic outcomes
for vulnerable
children—and
higher property
values for the
communities that
surround the
improved facilities.
