CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB) DRAFT 1993 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP), APPROVE THE 1993 CIP, AND APPROVE THE CIB FOR INCLUSION IN THE 1 993-94 BUDGET 3. HEARINGS a. DATE June 7 1993 TYPE OF ACTION CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING, APPROVE CIB/CIP SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. John J. Mercurio, Administrative Analyst Engineering Department/Planning Division ISSUE: The Board of Directors has established June 10, 1993, as the date for a public hearing on the draft Fiscal Year 1993-94 CIB/1993 Ten-Year Capital Improvement Plan in conjunction with the Board's consideration of the Sewer Service Charge (SSC) rate for 1993-94. The 1993 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) covers the ten-year period from 1993-94 through 2002-03. The recommended plan includes the effects of the 1992-93 ad valorem tax take away as well as expenditure reductions totaling $25 million (1993 dollars) over ten years and an increase of $20 per Residential Unit Equivalent (RUE) in the Sewer Service Charge for capital replacement. Separate Board approval of the CIP and the CIB for inclusion in the 1993-94 District Budget is requested. BACKGROUND: The CIP provides the basis for project prioritizing and scheduling, District staffing, and long-range financial planning. The CIP also serves as the framework for rate decisions. The CIB provides a detailed presentation of the schedules and cost estimates for projects proposed for the first year of the ten-year planning period. It also provides for funding authorization from the Sewer Construction Fund to the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and General Improvement programs. A draft CIB/CIP was submitted to the Board of Directors' Capital Projects Committee for review on March 5, 1993. A workshop for the full Board was held on March 25, 1993. The final draft document was submitted to the full Board on May 6, 1993. Additional discussion of CIB/CIP issues was included in the General Manager-Chief Engineer's report on May 20, 1993. It is appropriate for the Board to receive public comments prior to considering approval of the CIB/CIP. June 10, 1993, was established by the Board as the date for a public hearing to receive these comments, and appropriate notices have been posted. Caoital Budaet Authorization Adoption of the CIB with the 1993-94 District Budget will authorize an additional $28,918,000 from the Sewer Construction Fund for planning, design, and construction of capital improvement projects in the Treatment Plant, Collection System, and General Improvement programs. In addition to the new funding authorization, a carry-over of approximately $47,860,000 from Board authorizations in previous years is anticipated, resulting in a total Fiscal Year 1993-94 authorized funding level of $76,778,000. The distribution of the funding authorization to the three capital improvement programs is shown on Attachment 1 . RE~EWEOANORECOMMENOEOFORBOAROAcnON JJM DRW RAB INITIATING DEPT./DIV. ~ jJ$ SUBJECT CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB) DRAFT 1 993 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP), APPROVE THE 1993 CIP, AND APPROVE THE CIB FOR INCLUSION IN THE 1 993-94 BUDGET POSITliON.PAPER PAGE 2 oF12 DATE June 7, 1993 Adoption of the CIB also constitutes Board of Directors' approval of projects listed in Tables 4, 5, and 6 of the Budget document as exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Most of these projects are exempt because they involve a minor alteration, replacement, or rehabilitation of an existing sewer facility with little or no expansion of capacity. Ten Year CaDtial Plan The funding needs of the proposed projects in this CIP will exceed the District's pay-as-you-go financing system funding capabilities. This is due to four factors: 1) the emergence of new air emissions, water quality and safety regulations which must be addressed through capital improvement projects (that is, formerly unbudgeted projects, such as the Disinfection Facilities Improvement Project), 2) the under-realization of interest and development fee revenue due to general economic conditions, 3) the need to proceed with several large capital projects to meet District wet weather overflow prevention goals, and 4) the loss of $3.2 million per year property tax revenue through the State's budget actions. Because of this, the capital reserve will soon be depleted and debt issuance will be required. Debt issuance alternatives from $10 million to $55 million are included in the program scenarios. Scenarios for Proaram Cuts Because of the appropriation by the State of California of $3.2 million in property tax revenue formerly used by CCCSD for capital facilities replacement, even with a $20 sewer service charge increase there is a revenue shortfall. Staff has produced a series of alternatives for the Board to consider. Six alternatives are presented with various levels of program cuts and revenue increases. The ten-year expenditures for these six alternatives range from $195 million to $275 million. The alternatives range from high Sewer Service Charge increase/no capital program cuts to no Sewer Service Charge increase/large capital program cuts. The financial and capital program impacts of the six scenarios are summarized in Attachment 2 of this position paper. The practice of utilizing a portion of the Sewer Service Charge for capital facilities replacement was first instituted in 1992-93 at $4.44 per Residential Unit Equivalent. The increase in the Sewer Service Charge increment required to fund the scheduled capital work and maintain a prudent reserve in the Sewer Construction Fund ranges from zero for the $195 million alternative to $40 per Residential Unit Equivalent for the $275 million alternative. All of the options anticipate that the capital increment of the Sewer Service Charge would be adjusted annually to reflect inflation. The 0 & M component of the Sewer Service Charge is expected to remain flat for 1993-94. The 0 & M component is expected to increase slightly in future years. 1302B-7/91 SUBJECT CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB) DRAFT 1993 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP), APPROVE THE 1993 CIP, AND APPROVE THE CIB FOR INCLUSION IN THE 1993-94 BUDGET POSITION PAPER PAGE 3 DATE OF 12 June 7,1993 The alternatives presented in Attachment 2 assume that the District's remaining 60 percent of property tax revenue is retained through the ten-year planning period of the CIP. If the Governor's proposal to divert all or a portion of this tax revenue to other purposes is implemented, the District will have to face the need to raise substantial additional revenue or to make deeper cuts in project work in the capital budget process next year. Maximum Environmental Protection Alternative The "business-as-usual" scenario (" 1992 CIP Extended," $275 million) reflects an aggressive Capital Improvement Program with project implementation schedules designed to anticipate (rather than react to) regulatory decisions calling for higher standards of environmental protection. This scenario would implement ambitious odor control projects, pursue a comprehensive water recycling program, and would set an aggressive schedule for correction of sewer and treatment plant system capacity deficiencies which now result in sewage overflows in streets, creeks, and at the Treatment Plant during rain storms. This scenario is built on the project schedules included in the 1992 (last year's) plan with the addition of several formally unbudgeted projects which have increased in priority and have been added to the recommended project list (e.g., Treatment Plant Soils Remediation and Ultraviolet Disinfection). A $40 per Residential Unit Equivalent increase in the Sewer Service Charge facility replacement increment would be required to fund the scheduled capital work for this scenario while making up for the shortfall of the ad valorem tax revenue ($3.2 million), and maintaining an appropriate prudent reserve in the Sewer Construction Fund over the ten-year period. Maximum Environmental Proaram Cut Alternative On the other extreme, the most drastic scenario (Scenario "E", $80,000,000 in program cuts) reflects a reduced Capital Improvement Program which could be funded with no increase to the Sewer Service Charge facility replacement increment, but which would require substantial capital program cuts resulting in significant reduction of the District's goals for overflow reduction, odor control, maintenance cost control, and water recycling. Recommended Proaram Alternative During preparation of the draft CIP, staff first compiled the '92 CIP "Extended" scenario based on a continued commitment to the program goals approved for the 1992 CIP (these goals are listed in Attachment 3) with the addition of an expanded water reclamation program and formerly unbudgeted projects such as the Treatment Plant Soil Remediation and Ultraviolet Disinfection projects. It became apparent that this scenario would require a substantial Sewer Service Charge increase ($40 per Residential Unit Equivalent), and significant debt issuance ($55 million). Realizing that current economic conditions dictate that a balance be struck between the 13028-7/91 SUBJECT CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE DRAFT FISCAL YEAR 1993-94 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET (CIB) DRAFT 1993 TEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP), APPROVE THE 1993 CIP, AND APPROVE THE CIB FOR INCLUSION IN THE 1 993-94 BUDGET POSITION .PAPER PAGE 4 oF12 DATE June 7, 1993 achievement of environmental protection goals and the cost of service, staff carefully re-examined each capital improvement project's schedule and budget and looked for ways to reduce capital expenditures. This process resulted in a recommended CIP (Scenario "A") which would make some moderate capital program cuts while requiring a 12 percent increase in the Sewer Service Charge ($20 per Residential Unit Equivalent). Four additional scenarios ("B" through "E") were developed. Each successive scenario would have larger capital program cuts, a lower amount of debt issuance, a lower Sewer Service Charge replacement increment, and a progressively more serious impact on the ability of the District to meet environmental goals. Details of project cuts required for implementation of scenarios "A" through "E" are presented in Attachments 4 through 8. The staff-recommended CIP is designated as Scenario "A" (Attachment 4). The CIP has been evaluated by staff and determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under District CEQA Guidelines Section 17.3 since it is a planning study. RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the CIB/CIP. Approve the CIP. Approve the CIB for inclusion in the 1993-94 District Budget. Select a Capital Program Reduction Alternative with the associated Sewer Service Charge replacement increment. (Staff recommends Scenario A with a $25 million program cut and a $20 Sewer Service Charge increment.) 1302B-7/91 ATTACHMENT 1 Page 5 of 12 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET SUMMARY FY 1993-94 Additional Estimated Authorization Total Program Carry Over Requested Authorization Treatment Plant $ 33,706,000 $ 9,504,000 $43,210,000 Collection System 11,238,000 19,414,000 30,652,000 General Improvements 2.916.000 -0- 2.916.000 Total FY 1993-94 $47,860,000 $28,918,000 $76,778,000 N +-' e ~ E ..c u co +-' +-' <( en w > i= c::( z a: w I- ..J c::( Z o i= (,) :J Q w a: :! c::( a: CJ o a: D.. ..J c::( l- ii: c::( (,) ~ en co ~ ~ u e ~ :::l e ~ > ~ a: en :::l en ~ ~ > en +-' :::l U ~ ~ :::l :t: "0 e ~ a. x w en o a: <( Z w U en o o.w -0 Uz NW 0>1- , >< W W 5 o o o o o o ~ o 5 o o o o q It) ~ U 5 o o O' o o Lt'l ~ m 5 o o o o o Lt'l ~ <( 5 o o o o o Lt'l N o N 0> E o ~ -"0 en ~ +-'"0 :::l e u ~ +-,+-' U X ~W 'co. ~ - o.U a. ~ u:; ~ ,~ CO "0 ~ e >- ~ ,a. o x ....

SUBJECT CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARINGS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE 1993-1994 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET AND THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND BUDGET AND FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 1993-1994 SEWER SERVICE CHARGE RATES, AND ON PLACING CURRENT AND DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES ON THE COUNTY TAX ROLL FOR COLLECTION DATE JUNE 1,1993 TYPE OF ACTION CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING SUBMITTED BY INITIATING DEPT./DIV. Debbie Ratcliff, Controller Administrative/Finance & Accounting ISSUE: The District Codes and State law require holding Public Hearings for the establishment of the 1 993-1 994 Sewer Service Charge rates, and on placing current and delinquent Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll for collection. BACKGROUND: Notice of the June 10, 1993 Public Hearings to consider changes to the current schedule of Sewer Service Charge rates for the 1993-1994 fiscal year, collection of the 1 993-1994 Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll, and to receive and consider protests to having delinquent Sewer Service Charges collected on the 1993-1994 tax roll, was duly given. It is recommended that three separate hearings be held to consider the matters described. Hearina to receive Dublic comment on the 1993-1994 ODerations and Maintenance (O&M) Budaet and Self-Insurance Fund Budaet. and for the establishment of the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charae Rates: The 1993-1994 O&M Budget and Self-Insurance Fund Budget were submitted to the Board of Directors for initial review at the May 20, 1993 Board Meeting and are scheduled for approval at the June 10, 1993 Board Meeting. Upon approval of the 1993-1994 O&M Budget and Self-Insurance Fund Budget and determination of adequate levels of reserves, the Board must establish the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge rates. Hearina to consider collection of the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charaes on the County tax roll: The law requires that a Public Hearing be held each year before the Sewer Service Charge can be placed on the County tax roll. The Sewer Service Charge has been collected on the County tax roll since inception of the service charge in 1976. Collection on the tax roll provides the most economical and efficient means for the District to collect the charges for the 105,000 or so accounts. Effective with the 1982- REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION DR PM SUBJEC"tONDUCT PUBLIC HEARINGS TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE 1993-1994 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET AND THE SELF-INSURANCE FUND BUDGET AND FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 1993-1994 SEWER SERVICE CHARGE RATES, AND ON PLACING CURRENT AND DELINQUENT SEWER SERVICE CHARGES ON THE COUNTY TAX ROLL FOR COLLECTION 2 OF 12 PAGE DATE June 1, 1993 1983 fiscal year, Contra Costa County imposed a fee for collecting the Sewer Service Charge on the tax roll. The County fee, which approximates $71,000 annually, is still more economical than the alternative of direct billing by the District. Hearina to consider collection of delinauent Sewer Service Charae account: The District bills certain property owners directly. During the 1992-1993 fiscal year, one owner was delinquent in paying the Sewer Service Charge, which was billed directly. Information regarding the delinquent charge is contained on the attached report. It is proposed that the delinquent charge be collected on the 1993-1994 County tax roll, unless there is a valid protest. The delinquent property owner was notified of the June 10, 1993 Public Hearing by certified mail. The property is a single-family residence in Danville built in 1991. The original owners paid the 1 990-1991 and 1991-1992 Sewer Service Charge through the direct-billed process. The current owners purchased the property in 1992 and have not responded to the direct-billed 1992-1993 Sewer Service Charge invoice and follow-up inquiries. RECOMMENDATION: Conduct three separate Public Hearings and upon their respective conclusions, take the following actions, if considered appropriate: . Approve the 1993-1994 Operations and Maintenance Budget and Self-Insurance Fund Budget and approve an ordinance establishing the 1993-1994 Sewer Service Charge rate schedule. . Approve a resolution authorizing collection of the 1993-1 994 Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll. . Consider any protest and, if appropriate, approve a resolution adopting the attached report pursuant to Section 5473, Health and Safety Code, for collection of delinquent Sewer Service Charges on the County tax roll.

I am the owner of the parcel. It seems that County government has decided to make this the year to create assessments for everything under the sun. I protest all such assessments and ask what the County is doing with the property tax money they already collect from me. That money should be more than adequate to pay for everything that needs doing. I noted in the report in the Contra Costa Times on the proposed assessment that the money would not be used for operation and maintenance. If that is the case, then it must be for system improvements and expansions. I believe those should be funded by connection fees collected from new developments but there was no mention of such fees in the article. The facilities necessary to provide service to my home, and all the rest of the existing residents in the service area, are already in place. We should not have added assessments to pay for improvements that we don't need. At a time when many people are losing jobs or suffering cut backs because of the economy, it is unreasonable for the government agencies to be asking for more. Especially in the case of CCCSD. If you need money for system improvements, collect it from new development, not from me. Very truly yours, ~~:-U..~ John N. DeBoice
