Vassallo K. Alm Ann Farrell, General Manager ISSUE: Although not required by law, it has been the District's practice to hold a public hearing to receive comment on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 -13 Operations and Maintenance Budget (O &M), Debt Service Fund Budget and the Self- Insurance Fund Budget. RECOMMENDATION: Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting the FY 2012- 13 O &M Budget, Debt Service Fund Budget and Self- Insurance Fund Budget. FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The draft FY 2012 -13 O &M Budget is based on a $30 increase in the Sewer Service Charge, for a total of $371 per Residential Unit Equivalent (RUE). The $371 Sewer Service Charge (SSC) in FY 2012 -13 is allocated as follows: O &M $344; Capital $27 per RUE. The FY 2012 -13 SSC O &M allocation is $42 /RUE higher than in FY 2011 -12, which produces approximately $6.9 million in additional O &M SSC revenue. The FY 2012 -13 O &M Budget results in an increase of $1.9 million to O &M reserves, and the total O &M reserves are projected to be $10.1 million at the end of FY 2012 -13. This is $3.3 million above prudent reserve levels for O &M. ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: The Board could decide not to hold a public hearing and adopt the FY 2012 -13 Operations and Maintenance Budget, Debt Service Fund Budget and Self- Insurance Fund Budget. BACKGROUND: The FY 2012 -13 O &M Budget and Debt Service Fund Budget were submitted to the Board of Directors for initial review at the May 17, 2012 Board Meeting. A detailed presentation was made to the Board at that time and a copy of the PowerPoint slides is attached (see Attachment 1). The Self- Insurance Fund Budget was approved by the Board at the April 5, 2012 Board Meeting. All three are scheduled for approval and adoption at the June 7, 2012 Board Meeting.
