MEETING DATE: AUGUST 4, 2009
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: PAMELA ARENDS-KING, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DOUGLAS S. STACK, ASSISTANT PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RETAIL WATER RATES -PUBLIC HEARING
RESOLUTION NO. 09-41
SUMMARY:
The purpose of the public hearing, under the California Constitution ("Proposition 218")
is to permit the property owners to comment upon or present objections to the proposed
water rate increases. The proposed rate increases expand the current rate structure
from four to seven tiers, see attachment 1; establishes a capital project fee solely
dedicated for non-debt financed capital improvement projects; provides for a new pass-
through adjustment to account for unanticipated third party charges related to the
purchase of electricity and/or imported water; and establishes Water Demand Reduction
Stages (WDRS) that would enable the City to comply with wholesale water use
restrictions in response to regional water shortage conditions as necessary. The WDRS
was included within the official Proposition 218 notice of Public Hearing to ensure
proper noticing and compliance. Only upon specific City Council authorization can a
WDRS be declared and put into action.
The proposed rate increases would be effective August 5, 2009 for fiscal year 2009-
2010 and July 1St in subsequent fiscal years. The typical residential customer would
experience an increase of 10.8% in FY 2009-10, 10.5% in FY 2010-2011, and 7% in FY
2011-2012 through FY 2013-2014. Additionally, the pass-through adjustment is
restricted to-not-exceed 7% of the annual water charges.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council take the following actions:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive testimony on the proposed water rate increases
for fiscal year 2009-2010 through fiscal year 2013-2014; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 09-41 approving the proposed water rate increases and
changes if there is no majority protest.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed water rate increases will generate the necessary revenue to meet ongoing
operations and maintenance expenses; existing debt service payments and bond
covenants; pay-as-you capital improvement; major capital debt financing; establish and
maintain reserves; assurance from unanticipated third party increases; and eliminate
General Fund subsidy to the Water Enterprise Fund to cover projected revenue shortfalls.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Tustin's water rates were last adjusted in January 2008. The most recent
rate increases were adopted on May 1, 2006, and did not generate sufficient revenues
to meet operational and capital needs. Attachment 2 shows the history of rate
increases since 1980.
During Fiscal Year 2008-2009 budget development, it became evident that revenues
derived from existing rates would be inadequate to meet the operating and capital
needs of the system and a rate adjustment would be required. In order to provide for
the continued operation of a water system on a sound financial basis, revenues must be
sufficient to meet the cash requirements of operation, maintenance, capital needs,
administrative, debt service payments and ensure necessary debt coverage ratios
pursuant to the 2003 Water Refunding bond. In addition, revenues in excess of
expenses should be sufficient to provide and maintain cash reserves in the event of
emergencies and short term fluctuations in revenue due to drought and other factors
affecting water supplies and sales.
Projected operating and maintenance expenses are driven by various costs including
personnel, utilities, customer billing, meter reading, purchased water, ground water
replenishment assessments, water treatment, routine maintenance, production and
various materials and supplies. Attachment 3 illustrates the current financial status of
the Water Enterprise fund and the projected financial status with the implementation of
the proposed rate increases. The Water Enterprise is currently operating at a loss.
The factors used to develop the revenue requirements for the Water Enterprise are:
- Imported and ground water costs
- Electrical costs
- Operation and maintenance costs
- Debt service coverage
- New debt service issuance
- Rebuilding the reserve
- Capital improvement program
The proposed water rates and charges will yield adequate revenues to cover operating
expenses; repairs; capital improvement program costs; debt service payments and
depreciation of water facilities owned and operated by the City in providing water
service to its customers; and establish and maintain cash reserves.

RESOLUTION NO. 09-41

In the notice of Public Hearing sent to all Water Service customers and property
owners, several tables were included which shows the proposed consumption tiers and
charges, service capacity charges, and capital charge. The impact of the proposed rate
increase on the "typical" residential user with a 5/8 x 3/4 inch meter and consuming
about 40 units (one unit =one hundred cubic-feet = 748 gallons) is 10.8% in FY 09/10,
10.5% in FY 10/11, and 7% in FY 11/12 through FY 13/14.
The pass-through charge has been added to the proposed rate increase to offset the
increasing costs of purchasing and pumping water imposed by third party agencies.
Imported water rates are established by Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD) and additional fees are added to those rates by wholesale water
purveyors, MWDOC and East Orange County Water District (EOCWD). Ground water
rates are established by the Orange County Water District (OCWD) and electricity rates
are established by Southern California Edison. The proposed pass-through would allow
the Water Enterprise to assess and recoup the costs of providing water beyond current
budget appropriation. The pass-through is restricted to-not-exceed 7% (approximately
$0.14 per unit in FY 09-10) of the annual water charges to a "typical" residential user in
any given fiscal year. The pass-through charge could be added to or subtracted from
(when the production cost is less than estimated) the consumption charge. All water
customers would receive a notification prior to the assessment of these charges.
The Water Demand Reduction Stages (WDRS) has been added to the proposed rate
increase to enable the City to comply with wholesale water use restrictions in response
to regional water shortage conditions, as necessary. The WDRS would only be
declared and put into action by specific City Council direction. The WDRS reduces the
unit allocation of each tier at different stages. Stage 1 reduces the allocation by 10%;
Stage 2 reduces the allocation by 20%; Stage 3 reduces the allocation by 30%; and
Stage 4 reduces the allocation by 40%.
According to the 2008 Water Rate Survey conducted by the Municipal Water District of
Orange County (MWDOC), approximately 20 of the 31 water service providers within
the County utilize a tiered rate structure. Attachment 4 is from the MWDOC rate survey
that shows that the City's 2008 water rates were below the median rates at the time the
survey was conducted. The City's proposed rate for FY 2009-2010 would still be below
the countywide median.
The Water Enterprise's Capital Improvement Program is designed to reduce its reliance
on imported water, and improve the water system's storage, production, treatment, and
distribution capabilities. The Water Service will continue its program objectives of
proactively managing the quantity and the quality of its groundwater supplies, and to
rehabilitate or replace older facilities as needed. The proposed rates would enable the
Water Enterprise to obtain $30 million in debt financing for the construction of the
Rawlings Reservoir, Tustin Avenue Well, Simon Ranch Reservoir and Booster Station,
and Beneta Well. The new capital charge will be dedicated to non-debt financed capital
projects. The capital charge was previously a component of the consumption charges
that has now been separated to provide a dedicated funding source for capital projects.

On May 28, 2009, the Audit Commission received a presentation on the proposed water
rate increase. The commission made the unanimous recommendation that the water
rate increase be forwarded to City Council for consideration.
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt five consecutive rate increases at one
time in order to address short term reserves, debt service coverage, and enable the
Water Enterprise to obtain debt financing. If approved the first increase would be
effective August 5, 2009, with subsequent increases going into effect July 1St of each
fiscal year.
