11. Review proposed terms for inclusion in new District Counsel contract
Provisional General Manager Curt Swanson stated that at the previous Committee
meeting, he had presented the proposed hourly rates for the new District Counsel
contract. One of the rates, the blended hourly rate, is for the monthly legal retainer
services that are provided by several classifications of attorneys. Under the
proposed new contract, the monthly retainer services would include four more
hours of service by District Counsel Kent Alm, therefore, the blended rate should
be higher than the rate that was presented earlier. The proposed new blended
rate is $270 1hour.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Reviewed and directed staff to schedule the
proposed District Counsel contract for approval at a future Board meeting.
12. Reports and Announcements
Finance Manager Thea Vassallo gave an update on the 10 Year Plan
Baseline Scenario for 2013 rate increase for changes that have occurred
since the January 24th Board presentation. Ms. Vassallo also discussed and
reviewed an additional rate setting scenario which starts a Unfunded
Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) pay down of $5M for both fiscal years
2013 -14 and 2014 -15. This pay down is two years earlier than originally
planned. The additional UAAL pay down scenario is still within the original
staff recommendation given the above changes mentioned.
13. Suggestions for future agenda items
Ms. Vassallo recommended that a Public Employees' Pension Reform Act
(PEPRA) update be given at the next Committee meeting.

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT `- r
Report Regarding
Environmental and Development - Related Rates and Charges Proposal
March 2013
OVERVIEW
The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) Board of Directors will soon
consider adopting an ordinance to revise Chapter 6.30, Schedule of Rates and
Charges, for various environmental and development- related services.
If the proposed rates and charges are adopted by the Board of Directors, CCCSD staff
estimates that approximately $100,000 in additional revenue will be generated in fiscal
year 2013 -14.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 6.30 of the CCCSD Code includes a schedule of rates and charges for
environmental and development- related services provided to property owners,
contractors, developers, septic and grease waste haulers, and permitted industrial
users. These services include permitting; plan review; inspection of construction for
side sewers and main line extensions; addition of new sewers, parcels, and permit
information to CCCSD maps; source control permits and inspections; and septic and
grease hauler sampling and treatment.
These rates and charges are intended to recover CCCSD's direct and indirect labor
costs, other operating expenses, and administrative overhead incurred in providing
each service.
These rates and charges were last revised in 2012. CCCSD staff annually reviews the
rates and charges to assess whether changes are appropriate. This year, as in the
past, CCCSD has re- evaluated the rates and charges for the categories of Development
Plan Review, Construction Inspection, Collection System, Right -of -Way, and
Miscellaneous services. The recommended rates and charges are explained in the
following pages.
PROPOSED RATES AND CHARGES
The State of California mandates that revenues from fees, rates and charges not
exceed the cost of providing services. Following its review, CCCSD staff recommended
that rates and charges be revised to include: 1) adjustment for changes in salaries,
benefits and overhead; and 2) adjustment of the mileage rate for those charges that
include a mileage factor. Table 1 presents a comparison of the current and proposed
rates and charges.
Proposal to Revise Development - Related Rates and Charges
Page 2
March 2013
For 2013 -14, staff is recommending changes to the Schedule of Rates and Charges
based on a 4.0% cost of living adjustment to staff salaries, an administrative overhead
percentage of 220% of direct salary cost (twenty -six percent higher than the 194%
overhead rate applicable in 2012), and a vehicle mileage rate of $0.335 per mile (one
cent higher than the 2012 rate. The mileage rate includes only non - depreciation costs
because depreciation is included in the overhead rate.
PROPOSED CHANGES
Fees, rates and charges calculated based on the criteria cited above result in
recommended increases between 5% and 18% for most fees. Approval of the second
increments of a three -year phase in of larger increases for four fees that affect only a
few customers is also recommended, as discussed below:
Application Fee — Capacity Use Program and Capacity Fee Installment
Program /Promissory Note Program: This is the second year of a proposed three -
year increase of $36 per year (11.4 %). The Capacity Use Charge program mitigates
high capacity fees for customers with high - strength sewage (such as restaurants and
bakeries). Setting up new customer accounts in the program requires significant staff
time. This fee typically is applied to three or four customers each year.
Reimbursement Account Set -Up Fee: This is the second year of a proposed three -
year increase of $76 per year (7.4 %). This fee is only charged to the few installers of
mainline extension projects who elect to participate in the Reimbursement Program.
Site Collector Plan Check: This is the second year of a proposed increase of $22 per
year (7.2 %). A Site Collector Plan Check is required when a private sewer will serve
several buildings on a single property.
Industrial User Permit Fees: These fees are intended to recover the costs incurred by
CCCSD's Source Control staff administering and monitoring compliance of Significant
Industrial Users and those with Special Discharge Permits. The fees were increased
last year after having not been revised for more than ten years. Increases in Industrial
User Permit Program costs have been recovered through the Pollution Prevention
Surcharge applied to all non - residential sewer service charges. CCCSD staff proposes
no increases this year.
Septage and Grease Disposal: These fees are intended to recover the costs for
treatment of these wastes and program administration. CCCSD staff proposes no
increases this year.
SU.WIVIARY
If the proposed revisions to the Environmental and Development - Related Rates and
Charges are adopted by the CCCSD Board of Directors, 54 fees would increase, no
Proposal to Revise Development - Related Rates and Charges
Page 3
March 2013
fees would decrease, two fees would be eliminated (Fee Deferral Program fees), and 30
fees would remain unchanged. If the recommended rates and charges are adopted by
the Board of Directors, staff estimates that approximately $100,000 in additional
revenue will be generated in fiscal year 2013 -14.

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT Z 4
Report Regarding the Capacity Fee Proposal
March 2013
INTRODUCTION
In September 1998, the state enacted SB1760 that requires sewer connection fees to
be based on one of two methods: 1) a buy -in to existing assets, or 2) the cost of future
facilities expansion. This bill was enthusiastically endorsed and supported by home
builders' associations statewide.
In 2001, Central Contra Costa Sanitary District's (CCCSD) method for determination of
Capacity Fees was changed to a "buy -in -to -all assets" approach. This was done to
provide a rational, practical, equitable and defensible method to calculate the financial
burden of new connections.
The buy -in -to -all- assets approach is preferred primarily due to the "facilities- mature"
status of CCCSD. In this context, facilities- mature means that the value of existing
assets (about $1.64 billion) is many times the value of future facilities expansion
needed to accommodate future customers. Stated differently, most of the facilities
needed to serve new customers have already been built and paid for by current
customers. As a consequence, most of the work envisioned in CCCSD's Capital
Improvement Plan is for renovation, replacement or upgrading of facilities to maintain
capacity for both current and prospective customers. Charging a Capacity Fee based
on the customer buying -in -to -all- assets at the time of connection to the public sewer
system equalizes the unit investment of each customer as they move from being a
"future" to "current" customer.
The following sections discuss CCCSD's Capacity Fee approach and staff - proposed
fee adjustments for 2013 -14.
CCCSD'S APPROACH TO CALCULATING CAPACITY FEES
CCCSD's current method of calculation for Capacity Fees is based on a buy- in- to -all-
assets approach. The calculation estimates the "current value" of real property (land),
facilities, equipment and the balances in the Sewer Construction, Running Expense,
Debt Service and Self Insurance Funds.
In the calculation, the current value of each asset category is determined as follows:
• Land: The "current value" of investments in real property is estimated based on
the opportunity value of like cash investments deposited in CCCSD's temporary
investments at the time of each purchase and held at interest to the present,
rather than by attempting to determine actual market value.
rk
Capacity Fee Proposal
March 2013
Page 2 of 3
Facilities: The current value of investments in physical facilities is estimated by
both, 1) escalating each year's facilities expenditures based on the change in the
Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index for the San Francisco Bay
Area (ENR- CCI -SF), and 2) applying straight -line depreciation using the following
life cycles with no salvage value.
Please note that a category for "Mains (Renovation Program)" has been included
again this year in the current value of facilities for determination of Capacity
Fees. This category accounts for CCCSD's significant investment since 1988 in
life -cycle replacement and renovation of sewers 10- inches in diameter and
smaller. This work renews capacity in these smaller sewers for the benefit of
both existing and new connectors and reduces future maintenance costs.
Average Useful Life:
Gravity Sewers
Interceptors 150 years
Trunks 100 years
Mains (Renovated by District) 75 years
Treatment Plant & Pumping Station Facilities
Tanks /Foundations 100 years
Buildings 75 years
Mechanical, Electrical & Control Equipment 30 years
Recycled Water Facilities
Pipelines 50 years
Mechanical, Electrical & Control Equipment 30 years
General Improvements
Buildings 50 years
Mechanical /Electrical Equipment and Furnishings 25 years
Vehicles and other Equipment 10 years
Major Repairs /Replacements 10 years
Capacity Fee Proposal
March 2013
Page 3 of 3
• Fund Balances: Prior fiscal year -end balances for the Sewer Construction,
Running Expense, Debt Service and Self Insurance Funds are used. The Sewer
Construction Fund Balance is reduced by the principal value of CCCSD's
outstanding debt.
After estimating the "current value" for an asset category, the component of the
Capacity Fee attributable to that category is calculated by dividing current value by the
current number of customers (number of Residential Unit Equivalents: "RUE "):
Buy -in Fee =
Value of Assets
Number of Customers (RUE)
RECOMMENDED CAPACITY FEE INCREASES
Staff recommends that the Board consider adopting Capacity Fees for the 2013 -14
fiscal year by applying the valuation approach and facilities life cycles described above.
The proposed fees are:
Fee Category Current Proposed % Change
Gravity Service $5,797 per RUE $5,930 per RUE 2.3%
Pumping Service $7,422 per RUE $7,517 per RUE 1.3%
The calculation of the proposed fees is shown in Table 1. If the recommended
Capacity Fees are adopted by the Board of Directors, staff estimates that approximately
$88,500 in additional revenue will be generated in fiscal year 2013 -14, based on its
projection of 350 Residential Unit Equivalents [RUE] to be connected in the gravity zone
and 450 RUE in the pumped zone.
The recommended fee calculation approach is a rational, practical, equitable and
defensible method to determine the financial burden of new connections. A
comparison of the proposed Capacity Fees to the fees charged by neighboring
agencies is presented in Table 2.

SUBJECT: CONNECTION FEE DEFERRAL PROGRAM UPDATE
The Connection Fee Deferral Program was established in June 2009 for a period of
1 year. The program has been extended several times as shown in the timeline below:
June 2009 Pilot program established for one year
June 2010 Program extended for one year
June 2011 Program extended for two years
The last fee deferral was signed in September 2011 and it is the only active deferral.
Fee deferrals are typically for two years and become due upon occupancy, sale, or
transfer of the property.
Staff recommends that the program be allowed to sunset based on lack of use.
