The findings of the study demonstrated that the District and the surrounding region would realize significant benefits from the construction and operation of a recycled water plant; and WHEREAS, on or about March 23, 2016 the Board of Directors of the District authorized the design and construction of a recycled water plant known as the Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) and on March 15, 2016 a final environmental impact report for the SNRC was certified by the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Board of Directors; and WHEREAS, on June 20, 2018, the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission activated the District’s latent wastewater treatment authority enabling the District to construct and operate the SNRC. As a result, and through prior settlement agreement with the city of San Bernardino dated November 21, 2017, the terms and conditions of the JPA are no longer completely binding on the District and the District now has authority to establish wastewater treatment rates which authority was previously exercised by the city of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department; and WHEREAS, as part of the settlement agreement with the city of San Bernardino, the District will acquire ownership of the East Trunk sewer line including the responsibilities of inspection, maintenance and repair thereof, which the District can accomplish more economically; and WHEREAS, based upon the foregoing factors, the Board of Directors of the District has determined that a reduction in the wastewater system charge for the collection of wastewater for both residential and commercial customers located east of Boulder Ave, can be achieved; and WHEREAS, the District adopted Resolution 2017.01, and Exhibit “A” thereto, establishing a schedule of rates and charges for the provision of water and wastewater service on January 25, 2017 after conducting a duly noticed public hearing on the matter. Said schedule of rates and charges for water and wastewater service remains unchanged. The current schedule of rates and charges for water and wastewater service is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” to this Resolution; and WHEREAS, the District’s updated schedule of fees and charges for water and wastewater service is attached hereto as Exhibit “B” to this Resolution and reflects a decrease in rates and charges than those provided under previously approved schedule of fees and charges; and WHEREAS, the amount of the rates and charges hereby adopted do not exceed the reasonable anticipated costs for the corresponding services provided by the District, and therefore the fees imposed hereby do not qualify as a “tax” under Article XIIIC, Section 1(e), of the California Constitution or Section 50076 of the California Government Code, and the actions taken East Valley Water District Resolution 2018.12 Page 3 of 4 herein are exempt from the additional notice and public meeting requirements of the Brown Act pursuant to Government Code Section 54954.6(a)(1)(A) and (B); and WHEREAS, the District has satisfied all of the substantive and procedural prerequisites of Article XIIID of the California Constitution in establishing the rates and charges set forth herein, including but not limited to, the identification of the parcels upon which the rates and charges will be imposed; the calculation of the rates and charges; the mailing of written notice to the record owners of each parcel upon which the rates and charges will be imposed describing the amount thereof, the basis upon which the rates and charges were calculated, the reason for the rates and charges, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing to be held thereon; and the conducting of a public hearing on the rates and charges not less than 45 days after mailing the notice during which all protests against the fee were considered. The reduction of fees by this Resolution requires no additional procedural prerequisites as no new or increased fees are being established. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the East Valley Water District as follows: Section 1. It is hereby found and determined that the schedule of rates and charges for wastewater treatment shall be reduced as reflected in the updates to Exhibit “A” to Resolution 2017.01. Section 2.

Accordingly, the City is responsible for establishing the Wastewater Treatment Capacity fee collected by the District for new development. The current fee established by the City is $3,500 per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). Accordingly, the District has been collecting monthly treatment fees and treatment capacity fees on behalf of the City Water Department. However, on June 20, 2018 the Local Agency Formation Commission for San Bernardino County (LAFCO) activated East Valley Water District’s latent authority to treat and reclaim wastewater. As a result, EVWD now assesses a Treatment Capacity Charge of $2,806 to be used for construction of a wastewater reclamation plant, rather than collecting a $3,500 per EDU capacity fee established by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department. Fire Service Connection Charges The fire service charge is the charge for the type and size of fire service connection desired. Such regular charge shall be paid in advance by the applicant. Where there is no regular charge, the District reserves the right to require the applicant to deposit an amount equal to the estimated cost of such service connection. Installation charges will be estimated by the District based on availability of District staff to complete the work and site specific construction conditions and requirements. If the applicant elects not to have District staff complete the installation then an administrative fee of 5% of the estimate will be charged. 14 Developer Services’ Charges and Fees 1. Front Footage Charge The front footage charge is a one-time reimbursement to the District for previously constructed water mains adjacent to all sides of an unimproved property to be serviced. This charge is hereby established at a rate of $30.00 per lineal foot. 2. Water Main Extension Charge The water main extension charge is for the construction of a water main extending to the far side of the property to be served. This charge shall be based on the prevailing rates of time and material per District approved plans. The customer shall be responsible to provide the plans and for all applicable Engineering Services charges described below. 3. Fire Hydrant Installation Charge Installation charges will be estimated by the District based on availability of District staff to complete the work and site specific construction conditions and requirements. If the applicant elects not to have District staff complete the installation then an administrative fee of 5% of the estimate will be charged. 4. Special Facility Charge A special facility charge shall be required for development of limited service whenever special facilities, including pressure regulators are required. The charge to be made to a developer or owner of land that is considered by the District to be within a limited service area shall be based upon the developer’s or landowner’s proportionate share of the cost for the installation of such Special Facility. Such proportionate share to be borne by the developer or landowner shall be based on the percentage of such development to the entire limited service area to be served by the Special Facilities; and the same number of acres or area under normal conditions and the cost of facilities to serve the acreage of area under special conditions at a higher cost. 5. Construction Inspection Charge Where a customer service connection or facility requires inspection by District personnel, the customer shall be charged for such inspection at the rate of $900.00 per day. When District personnel are not available, inspection will be performed by third party inspectors retained by the District. The hourly rate for third party inspectors will be established at the beginning of each third party inspection assignment. 15 6. Water System Design Charge A water system design charge shall be required for all main extensions, service connections and/or special facilities requiring the preparation of engineering plans and drawings. The water system design charge is hereby established as that fee charged by an engineering firm of the District’s choosing, plus an additional 10% thereof for the District’s administrative costs. In the event the costs exceed the fees charged, the additional cost will be billed to the customer. 7. Engineering Service Charges The Engineering Services charge is a fee for the District’s time and effort spent on assisting customers who have a requirement to construct water or sewer main extensions, or other water and/or sewer facilities, which must meet District needs and conform to District standards. This fee includes time and effort the District spends on plan checking, plan and easement development, and all other related work. Prior to submission of any documents requiring work by the District, a non- refundable minimum charge in the amount of 10% of the engineer’s estimated cost for the project shall be submitted to the District. The work will be accomplished on a time and effort basis. Should the District require more funds than the original charge, the additional costs will be billed and must be paid prior to allowing water and/or sewer service to the project. 8. Sewer Manhole and Valve Can Deposit A refundable deposit of $1,500.00 per manhole will be charged for each sewer manhole structure shown on the sewer construction plans. A refundable deposit of $500 per valve can will be charged for each valve can as shown on the water construction plans. These deposits will be returned when all manholes and valve cans are constructed to final grade by the developer’s contractor and verified by the District. As an alternative to the manhole and valve can deposit, a guarantee bond may be provided in the same amount as the deposit. The guarantee bond shall contain covenants that are satisfactory to the District. Such bond shall remain in force until all manholes and valve cans are constructed to final grade by the developer’s contractor and verified by the District. 9. Research Fee (flat rate, 4 hour minimum) This $200.00 fee will provide funding for engineering staff to conduct research and provide copies of materials to developer engineers such as plans, easements, and other development related materials. This would only apply to obtaining information 16 for developers that is unique to their development area and not general information such as fee schedules or District design standards. 10. Development Meeting Fee (after first meeting) This $250.00 per hour fee will provide funding for engineering staff to prepare for and attend, meetings with developers regarding their projects beyond the initial project consultation meeting and set-up. This fee will impact primarily larger more complex developments which may require multiple coordination meetings with staff. 11. Annual Backflow Compliance Test (per device) A fee of $60.00 will be charged to the developer after newly installed and inspected devices (performed by District staff) are complete. 12. Backflow Inspection Fee (per inspection) A fee of $80.00 will be charged for each backflow inspection of newly installed backflow prevention devices, in accordance with District standards. 13. Water Quality Sampling Fee (per sample) A fee of $110.00 will be charged for each water quality sample taken for new construction. 14. New Construction Chlorination and Flushing Fee ($225 minimum to actual cost) A minimum fee of $225.00 will be charged for new construction disinfection plan review, inspection, and flushing prior to sampling. 17 Summary of charges/fees for Developer Services: Charge or Fee Name Charge/Fee Front Footage Charge $30.00 (per lineal foot) Water Main Extension Charge Fire Hydrant Installation Charge Actual cost or 5% of estimate Special Facility Charge Construction Inspection Charge $900.00 (per day) or actual cost Water System Design Charge Actual cost + 10% Engineering Service Charges 10% (of Engineer's estimated project cost) Sewer Manhole and Valve Can Deposit $1,500.00 (per manhole); $500.00 (per valve can) Research Fee $200.00 (flat rate, 4 hour minimum) Development Meeting Fee $250.00 (per hour, after first meeting) Annual Backflow Compliance Test $60.00 (per device) Backflow Inspection Fee $80.00 (per inspection) Water Quality Sampling Fee $110.00 (per sample) New Construction Chlorination and Flushing Fee $225.00 (minimum to actual cost) 18 History of Revisions DATE ADOPTED RESOLUTION UPDATED OR RESCINDED REVISION DATE EFFECTIVE 07/11/18 2018.12 2017.01 Update Wastewater Fees 08/12/18 05/24/17 2017.07 2017.01 Update Water Fees 07/01/17 01/25/17 2017.01 2016.05 Update Wastewater Treatment Fees and Renew 5-Year Pass Through Provision 07/01/17 02/24/16 2016.05 2015.04 Update Wastewater and Miscellaneous Fees 04/01/16 03/25/15 2015.04 2014.32 Implement Water Budget Based Rates 06/01/15 03/25/15 2015.04 Ord 391 Update Wastewater Fees 06/01/15 B O AR D AGE N D A S TAF F R E P ORT Agenda Item #6.
