Dairy Queen • W2523 09/20/11 din DISTRICT: By: .ATTEST: Secretary East Valley Water District President, Board of Directors DEVELOPER: .® ATTEST: Notary Public Young Shin Owner 12 C) D r II� L4 0 U) FT 1 East Val ley t*pWater District Staff Report Meeting Date: September 27, 2011 TO: Board of Directors SUBJECT: Public Hearing to consider increase to Sewer Treatment Rates charged by the District SUMMARY: Issue — The rates for sewer treatment currently charged by EV WD to its customers are not sufficient to cover the monthly sewer treatment charges paid to the City of San Bernardino Recommendation — It is recommended that the Board of Directors schedule a public hearing for November 22 "d, 2011 Fiscal impact — Avoid sewer treatment rate deficits of $88,000 per month resulting from the disparity between rates received and rates paid. Losses resulting from not implementing increased City of San Bernardino sewer treatment rates will be approximately $388,000 by December 31, 2011 Previous Related Action — Adopted 2011 -12 fiscal year budget that did not contemplate an increase in Sewer Treatment Rates BACKGROUND On January 11, 2011, the San Bernardino City Council voted to approve a two -step sewer treatment rate increase. The first step, effective February 1, 2011, included a $1.00 (6.3 %) increase for residential customers, and commercial rate increases ranging from $.00 to $35 per Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF) of water usage, depending on the type of commercial entity. The second step, effective .January 1, 2012, includes an additional $1.50 (8.8 %) increase for residential customers, and commercial rate increases again of $.00 to $35 per HCF. The District is obligated to pay sewer treatment rates charged by the City in accordance Joint Power Agreements dated 1957 and 1965. In order to then pass the rates, paid to the City, on to District customers, the District must adopt sewer treatment rates under its own rate hearing process. The City requested that the District complete the rate hearing process, and begin paying the increased rates, as of April 1, 2011. The District has been paying the City's increased rates, but has not yet held a rate hearing to pass the increased rates on to our customers. DISCUSSION SR# 00026 DISCUSSION Between the months of April and August of 2011, the District has lost approximately $228,000 by subsidizing City rate increases on behalf of District customers, which is an average of $45,600 per month. Staff estimates that an additional $160,000 will be refit °sired to subsidize the increased rates for the remainder of the fiscal year — September through December. On January 1, 2012, when the second step of the City rate increases becomes effective, the subsidy would increase to approximately $88,000 per month, or approximately $528,000 in lost operating income for the period January to June 2012. Continuing to use the operating budget to fund the increased . reatment costs is having a negative impact on our current budget situation and will likely impact cur ability to maintain our sanitary sewer system as required. The District is required to maintain its public sewer system in order to comply with provisions of the State Water Resource Control Board's directive, the Capacity Management Operating & Maintenance, or CMOM, dealing wills sanitary sewer systems. Since the City has passed the increased costs onto the District, staff has worked diligently to identify savings and reduce our operating expenses; however, the increased costs for sewer treatment as promulgated by the City have exceeded these efforts to reduce expenses to a manageable level. Staff recommends that the District adopt sewer treatment rates, effective January 1, 2012, that are identical to the City of San Bernardino sewer treatment rates that will become effective on the same date. If instructed to proceed, staff will finalize the hearing notice, update mailing lists, and deliver the notice to the printer. This should be accomplished by the end of September. Assuming the printer can mail notices within a week of receiving the notice from District, they will be mailed by October 7`h. Allowing for a 45 day wait period, a public hearing could be scheduled on or after November, 21" 2011. Res ectfully Submitted, Brian W To pkins w Chief Financial Officer by, Robert A. DeLoach Interim General Mziager SRN 00026 EM71 Z Description of District The East Valley Water District (EVWD) is a California Special District established in 1954 under section 30000 et seq. of the California Water Code. The District serves approximately 65,000 residents in the City of Highland, and portions of the City of San Bernardino and the County of San Bernardino, in a service area of approximately 30 square miles. The District is engaged in pumping, treating and distributing water to its customers, as well as maintaining a collection system for residential and commercial wastewater that is delivered for treatment at a plant owned by the City of San Bernardino Water Department. Notice of Public Hearing for Proposed Sewer Treatment Rate Increase Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires the East Valley Water District (EVWD) to send notification of a proposed rate increase to all owners and tenants of real property within EVWD's service area who would be directly liable to pay for water and / or sewer service to the property at least 45 days prior to a public hearing at which adoption of the proposed rate increases will be considered. Please be advised that this document shall serve as formal notification to you that EVWD's Board of Directors will hold a Public Hearing on the proposed increases described herein on Tuesday, November 22nd, 2011, at 6 pm in the East Valley Water District Board Room located at 3654 E Highland Ave, Suite 30, Highland, California. Why Sewer Treatment Rates are Rising The East Valley Water District does not provide sewer treatment services to its customers. Instead, the District contracts with the City of San Bernardino for sewer treatment in accordance with Joint Powers Agreements (JPA) dated 1957 and 1965, as amended. Under the JPAs, wastewater collected by the District's sewer mains is conveyed to the City of San Bernardino Treatment Plant for treatment. The JPAs also stipulate that the City and District will adopt uniform ordinances affixing sewer treatment charges for customers within their respective service areas, and that the rate setting body will be the City Council of the City of San Bernardino. On January 10, 2011, the San Bernardino City Council held a public hearing to review the findings of a rate study performed by the engineering firm of R.W. Beck. Based on that study, the City of San Bernardino Water Department staff recommended that the Council approve a two step sewer treatment rate increase, with incremental increases to become effective on February 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. The rate increases recommended by City staff were approved. Copies of the R.W. Beck study and the City Water Department staff report are available on the EVWD's website uwiv eash�allev ore. East Valley Water District refrained from passing through the City rate increases to District customers while members of the District Board and Staff investigated the reasons for, and necessity of, the amount of the increases. As a resul the District has been subsidizing bills to District customers by continuing to bill customers at old sewer treatment rates while remitting payment to the City at the increased rates. Having met with City Water Department staff, and toured sewer treatment tcilities, and unable to subsidize the rate increases indefinitely, the District must now consider adopting sewer treatment rates being charged by the City.
