5 Utility Ratepayers Advisory Panel (URAP) Members: 8 Primary (4 business, 4 residential), 5 Alternate Term: Approximately 6-8 weeks Mission: The purpose of the URAP is to share information and gather input on the utilities rate setting process. Information will also be shared on an in-depth rate study analyzing the need for a rate increase based on the condition of the City s water and wastewater systems and treatment plant facilities, and to secure the City s utilities bond ratings, finance infrastructure improvements and provide for future operation and maintenance needs. Specific topics to be covered include: - Define the existing situation and problems - Envision what the future holds - Determine, rank and select alternatives - Provide input on rate setting process Date Topic Objective August 26 Wastewater plant tour, Utility background Vision statement September 2 Water Campus tour, Utility assessments Rate policy September 9 Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) tour, master plan, capital improvement plan CIP and rate structure September 16 Rate comparison and history, Proposition 218 process Rates 5
6 URAP Concerns Concerns 1. Process is too rushed 2. Not enough financial information (transition and competing events prevented significant Finance involvement) 3. Not many choices 4. Size of first year increase is large 5. Equity of increase (not all customers see the same percent increase) Other Issues 1. Create a new enterprise for storm water to keep expenses separate from wastewater and water 2. Double check that recycled water cost distribution meets new ruling on Proposition Set Golf Course recycled water rate before adopting new utility rates 4. Aggressively pursue ability to pump conservation credits and pumping allocations earned through recycled water sales. 6
7 Path Forward 1. Begin Proposition 218 notification process now Start full community engagement Delaying start of process will worsen situation 2. Continue Utility Ratepayers Advisory Panel Answer financial questions 3. Continue to review first year increase Review actual revenue and expenses in December 4. Final review of rate policy and cost of services study Approve in December 7

9 Water Resources Vision and Guiding Principles The City of Oxnard utility enterprises will provide cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and transparent services. To achieve this, the City of Oxnard will: Provide utility services to meet the requirements of the General Plan Meet all regulatory requirements for water, wastewater, storm water and recycled water services Implement effective City-wide utility policy including a reserve fund for longterm capital improvements Implement best management practices to provide cost effective service with rates competitive with other comparable jurisdictions Implement master plans and asset management plans to meet infrastructure needs in a cost effective manner over the short and long term Provide a long-term sustainable and reliable water supply, and decrease reliance on imported water Provide a public forum for community involvement to increase transparency Our foremost mission is to protect public health and provide quality service to customers. 9
10 Utility Rates and Structure Utility rates shall not exceed reasonable cost of service. Utility rates allocate costs to users benefiting from the service everyone pays their fair share Existing balance between residential and commercial is appropriate. The balance within certain commercial wastewater and water rate classes need to be adjusted.

18 Utility Infrastructure Capital Improvement Requirements There are significant utility infrastructure needs due to age of facilities limited maintenance. Significant wastewater treatment plant replacement can only be delayed about 6 to 8 years, even with stopgap measures.
19 20 year ( ) Capital Improvement Program Wastewater Stop gap projects to allow time for design, permitting, and construction of a more efficient and effective plant. Use proactive preventative maintenance program to mitigate risks associated with aging infrastructure Water Preventative maintenance program Complete existing phases of water supply and quality projects in increase reliability. Continue to implement recycled water to ensure that water is available for residents, businesses, and growth defined in the 2030 General Plan. Maximize grants, low interest loans, and public and private partnerships to minimize impact to rates.

25 Utility Rate Policy Following sound utility rate policy will: provide transparency, stability, and efficiency. help ensure the long term viability of utilities and stabilize rates.
26 Financial Policies Purpose/Importance of sound financial policy: 1. To provide guidelines for sound financial management with an overall long-range perspective 2. To enhance financial management transparency Improve the public s confidence 3. To mitigate risk/maintain financial solvency Provide a basis for coping with fiscal emergencies (revenue short-falls, asset failure, emergency etc.) Rate / Revenue stability (readiness to serve), Stability in working capital 4. To achieve/maintain a favorable credit rating 5. To determine the most opportune time to issue debt for capital improvements Examples of policies: 1. Reserves (365 days of operations and maintenance expenses) a) Operating reserve b) Capital improvement program (CIP) reserve/sinking fund for facility replacement c) Rate stabilization fund for droughts or other issues d) Debt service reserve e) Emergency 2. Debt coverage (1.25X) 3. High water use penalty charge 4. Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment to cover normal cost increases 5. Readiness to serve/stand-by charge (fixed cost verses variable cost) 6. Third party purchase or fee pass-throughs (imported water or land fill tipping fees) 26
27 Municipal Bond Ratings and Impact on Interest Rates Rating Description Example Rate AAA Highest rating. Extremely strong creditworthiness 3.06% AA Very strong creditworthiness 3.41% A Strong creditworthiness 3.86% BBB BB Adequate creditworthiness. Considered the lowest of what is known as an investment-grade bond rating Non-investment grade 4.06% AAA verses BBB For a $100,000,000 bond Cost of 1% rate increase = $20 million over life of bond 27
28 Recommended Utility Rate Policy The City of Oxnard utility rates will objectively and transparently meet the requirements of Proposition 218 and will phase in new policy and industry best practices proportionally* over a 5 year period for each utility enterprise fund. 1. Rates will be reviewed annually to ensure that revenues meet, but not exceed, the requirements of new policy and industry best practices. The review will be presented to Council approximately 60 days before rate increases will go into effect each year. 2. The rate setting process will adhere to Proposition 218 such that each customer pays their share of the cost of service. 3. A rate assistance program will be implemented and funded from donations and other sources as allowed by Proposition 218 such as a portion of the interest from O&M fund balance. 4. Utility operations will adhere to published industry best practices, including American Water Works Association Manual M1 and Water Environmental Federal Manual of Practice No. 27, to ensure that the utility enterprise funds are financially stable. 5. Maximize use of grants and low interest loans, and leverage partnerships with other public and private agencies to minimize project costs and impacts to customer rates. *May need to be accelerated to meet bond coverage requirements. 28
29 Recommended Utility Rate Policy Debt Each utility enterprise will maintain a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 or such lower ratio to optimize bonding capacity at optimal interest rates. Debt payment term will be no longer than 75% of the life of facilities being funded. Reserves Each utility enterprise will hold total reserves of at least 365 days of operations and maintenance expenditures including an emergency reserve of a minimum of 1.0% of the replacement value of current assets. Maintain a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) reserve adequate to minimize impact on rates with a target of cash funding of 100% of assets with lives under 15 years and 50% of assets with lives over 15 years. Rates To stabilize future rates and avoid overestimating revenue requirements, rates will: Include appropriate readiness-to-serve charges, standby charges and capital surcharges with a target of funding fixed costs with fixed customer charges. Include appropriate pass-through of regular third-party cost increases such as imported water purchases and landfill tipping fees. Include applicable cost weighted escalators for labor and commodities such as electricity, natural gas and chemicals. Will include penalty charges when appropriate such as during times of drought. Penalty charges will not fund normal operating expenses but will be used for appropriate mitigation such as water conservation programs. 29
30 Rate Structure
31 Proposed Rate Structure Updates Environmental Resources No change in Environmental Resources rate structure Update rates based on the revenue requirements increase Wastewater No change in wastewater rate structure Complete a loadings study for commercial customers prior to the next Cost of Service Study Update rates based on the revenue requirements increase Water Base multi-family tier allotments on number of dwelling units. Use constant monthly fixed charges per meter size for each customer class. Increase from 21% to 30% of rate revenues Adjust commercial water rates to meet Proposition 218 requirements Shifts some cost from high users to lower users Update rates based on the results of the updated functional and customer demand allocations. 31
32 Water Key Assumptions and Structure Irrigation rate structure Oxnard Commercial and Irrigation rates revised to have a Two-Tiered Structure Irrigation rate classes have been separated from commercial classes as they have distinct consumption patterns Irrigation rates are slightly higher than Commercial rates, reflecting increased peak usage by irrigation customers Water Demand Assumptions Reductions driven by State Mandate FY 2014/15 Actual reduction of 12% FY 2015/16 Assumed additional 8% reduction Demands are expected to rebound 5% in FY 2017/18 and 5% in FY 2018/19 32
33 Recommended Rates Significant rate increases are required in the first year to meet Coverage requirements and make up for revenue short falls. Rate smoothing Pushes rates increases above inflation from 5 years to 14 years. Implements rate policy over 3 to 5 years. CarolloTemplateWaterWave.pptx
