OB 2 4/6/78 April 3, 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS VIA: Roger J. Dolan, General Manager -Chief Engineer SUBJECT: FINANCIAL PLAN UPDATE ISSUE: To complete project application forms for 5B -I (and possibly 5B -II, Stage I), it will be necessary to have a current Financial Plan. BACKGROUND: The last revision of the Financial Plan was July 1, 1977. Since then, we have received the annual audit, and a number of changes in project planning have occurred. Further revision will be necessary after receipt of the 1977 -78 audit and possibly after the election, and after project grant contract execution. This particular revision assumes that the Jarvis -Gann Initiative does not pass, that grants will not be forthcoming after the 5B -II, Stage I project, and that short term borrowing (30 months) will be necessary by 1986. RECOMMENDATION: Review and adopt the April 6, 1978 Financial Plan for use until the June 6, 1978 election results are analysed. WCD :jv Ap roved: Rog J.

DOLAN General Manager -Chief Engineer W. C. DALTON Deputy General M:ulager -Chief Engineer Notes to supplement Financial Plan dated April 4, 1978. Refer to line numbers on left margin of chart. Under wastewater capital improvements, Treatment Plant, the grant % for projects as listed is net to allow for ineligible items. Treatment Plant includes disposal (outfall) and all reclamation and energy recovery works. 1. Grant Project complete. The 1978-79 work is for re- grading and restoration for areas used for supernatant ponding and construction borrow and fill. The 1981 -82 work is for levee reinforcement, and work after that date will be general upgrading. 2. Project approximately 99% complete and will provide 40 MGD primary and 30 MGD advanced treatment including nitrification and denitrification. (Pending estimated claims and lawsuits are included in 1979 -80 costs.) 3. Project complete. (Five hundred forty -five (545) thousand $ in 1972 -73 is engineering by Bechtel, Inc., which was included in Phase I and for which grant funds have been received under Phase I.) Provides 30 MGD water reclamation including filters and terminal storage reservoir. A second contract completed certain items. (Pending estimated claims and law suits are included in 1979 -80.) 4. Stage 5B, Phase I project to bring secondary treatment capability to 40 MGD. E1R /EIS hearing was held September 30, 1976 for entire 5B project. 5. Stage 5B, Phase 11 is the solid waste energy recovery project substituting RDF for natural gas or fuel oil in the existing sewage solids conditioning process. It involves a front -end solid waste processing plant, RDF storage and transportation, and modifications to furnaces. � - Recycled Paper Financial Plan 2 6. Stage 5B, Phase III is the second stage of the solid waste energy recovery project which will include expansion of the front -end solid waste plant and of the thermal energy conversion units to provide additional power for the water reclamation plant. 7. Stage 6 project is planned to expand the treatment plant capacity to the next logical stage, and the reclamation plant capacity to the demand level for reclaimed water. Although no grant funds are anticipated for this project, there is a possibility that State and Federal laws may be changed. Under present regulations, planning must begin when 75% of capacity is reached. Projections indicate that this expansion must be In service in the mid-- 1980's. 8. Miscellaneous plant improvement projects include alterations to the out - fall and plant site as well as interval upgrading of various plant elements. 9. Line E (1974 -75 expenditure) may require minor improvements covered under Miscellaneous. Watershed 23 requires two major paralleling projects, the first is under contract. 10. Line G (Watershed 33) is the major trunk line problem facing the District and planning is under way. Uncertainties about population distribution and density in the service area make it advisable to delay construction and pipe sizing as long as practical, but it is necessary to establish alignment and secure certain rights of way in the near future. It may be necessary to construct segments between Walnut Creek and Danville in advance of actual need in order to take advantage of cooperative project planning with the City of Walnut Creek and the County Flood Control District. Recent forecasts for WS 33 indicate a substantial population reduction from previous planning studies. The 1977 -78 project is for paralleling on the San Ramon summit area, and is under contract. As watershed charges are collected, paralleling from the summit to Danville is planned. 11. Miscellaneous trunk sewer projects are shown followed by improvements to capacities of pumping stations and force mains to Line M (Martinez Trunk). The possible future use of this facility by the Mt. View Sanitary District is too speculative to permit planning at this time. 12. Bollinger Canyon pipeline to eliminate or extend the existing leach field was approved for Step I grants funding but declared ineligible for construc- tion . The capacity problem during wet weather is under study and will be corrected. 13. Provision for advancement of funds for secondary watershed trunk construction is made in the next few years. Recoveries from previous advances and collections of watershed charges are expected to offset these expenditures. Financial Plan 3 14. Funding is provided for structure sealing and system improvement to improve operation of the collection system and to reduce maintenance costs and infiltration /inflow. 15. Only limited Local lmprovment District work is planned in the future primarily where public health problems exist. A reversion to the 1911 or straight 1913 State Improvement Acts would eliminate District funding involvement (aside from preliminary engineering and planning). 16. Funding for miscellaneous improvements to the collection system by District forces to supplement contract work under Line 14 above and reimbursable work performed for other agencies. The proposed office is included in 1978 -79. 17. & 18. These are the fixed bond service obligations of the District, and the G.O. issues are covered by a special tax rate. 19. It may be necessary to borrow on a short -term basis to provide cash -flow funding. See 1987 -90. 19. A. Repayment of Federal funds by and for industrial users. This section of the Federal regulations has been suspended for further study. 20. Sewage collection costs are estimated to cover inflation (and growth to 198o-81). 21. Sewage treatment costs are based on estimates from Brown and Caldwell for 1977 -78 to 1981 -82. 1981 -82 reflects lowered fuel costs which are considered to offset other increases, as does 1984 -85 when the second resource recovery project is complete. 22. Provisions are made for increased future maintenance of the outfall. 23. Engineering was assumed to stabilize activities and costs are increased with inflation. 24. Administration was increased for inflation and growth to 1980 -81 and for inflation after that. 25. General, which includes employee benefits and other basic District over- head items, is increased to match inflation and growth to 1980 -81 and at the inflation rate thereafter. 26. The Environmental Quality Charges (sewer service charge) is based on present State and Federal regulation. The amount must at least equal the Operation and Maintenance and replacement costs of the District. In our case, this would be the total 0 & M expenditure less the payment by Concord for its share of treatment, disposal and overhead costs of the District. Financial Plan 4 27. The present special service charges were phased out with the implementation of the full sewer service charge in 1977 -78 (Line 26) and the industrial cost recovery revenue is substituted thereafter on this line. 28. The major revenue under Service Contracts will be payment by Concord for operational costs for treatment and disposal of their sewage (33% of Lines 21 + 22 - Line 31 + 15% for overhead). 29. Property taxes for 0 & M (Running Expense) were phased out when the full service charge became effective. 30. 0 E M Revenues & Recoveries have been held at a level lower than their recent average to reflect less activity in local improvement districts, building and miscellaneous activities. 31. Reclaimed water revenue is based on Water District anticipated sales and contract guarantees. 32. "Miscellaneous" reflects payments for work performed for other agencies on a reimbursable basis. Revenues from sale of recovered resources at front -end solid waste plant as estimated by Brown & Caldwell are not included in any Expenditure - Revenue calculations. 33• Contract Capital Payments are the payments by the City of Concord for its share of capital improvements (including G. 0. bonds) at the Treatment Plant.

Concord share at 25% of Treatment Plant Expenditures 34. Fixture charge revenue is geared to growth of system and to new Sewer Service Charge Units at increased fixture charge rates, if necessary. 35. Annexation charge revenue is largely dependent on properties already within the District which will develop and pay charges at old rates. 36. Refer to lines 17 and 49. Financial Plan 3 1 37. Property tax revenue (and rate) for capital improvements can be phased out as adequate capital reserves are accumulated and other sources of revenue substituted. 38. Recoveries from LID's can be controlled and predicted, but recoveries from advances to secondary watersheds will depend on the total amounts of such advances and the rate of development within tributary areas. The overall watershed program showed a surplus for the first time in 1976 -77. 39. It has been assumed that the District will continue its money management program and keep necessary reserves invested. 39A See line 19. 40.

We are required to establish a Wastewater Capital Reserve Fund as part of the Grant program. This fund can substitute for our present Sewer Construction Fund, but it is desirable to continue the separate Sewer Construction Fund as a Construc- tion Capital Reserve Fund. For purposes of this Financial Plan, the two were combined first and then separated to indicate the minimum amount which must be maintained in the WCRF, 00%) of Line 44, or Line 46) under present regulations. Concord and CCCWD contracts provide that each agency will share in and keep available reserves as shown, thus reducing the amount the Sanitary District must accumulate. (This I.C.R. requirement has been suspended by EPA, and the SWRCB is working on new Revenue Program Guidelines.) N Financial Plan a 44.

Accumulated total cost of treatment facilities to local taxpayers. To Line 44 is added $2,175,224 for the outfall. The investment of the City of Concord is not shown separately. 48. Assessed Valuation projections were based on the growth factor and anticipated inflation after 1977 -78. 49. By law, Assessed Value (Line 48) and fixed bond service costs (Line 17) establish this rate. 50. The adoption of a sewer service charge, effective for the 1976 -77 fiscal year, eliminated the tax rate for 0 & M or Running Expense. 51. This plan shows the eventual elimination of the balance of the Running Expense tax rate used for capitalization. However, in view of financing uncertainties and pending litigation, a reduced rate should be continued. 52. Addition of Bond, 0 & M and Capital tax rates. 53. Plant flows for average dry weather condition in million gallons per day are based on addition of all Concord flow and anticipated rate of growth for service area with no allowance for wet industry or substantial change in water use patterns(based on ABAG projections at 103 gpcd). 54. This line reflects water pollution treatment capabilities as planned to meet projected plant flows. 55. The total annual flow is shown as recorded. 56. Population served is based on 1970 and 1975 census figures and rate of growth and is related to County Planning Work and ABAG Series 3 projections. 57.

The annual Service Charge was estimated by dividing the Service Charge Unit total into the annual Environmental Quality Charge total. 59. The growth rate of the District was assumed to decrease and stabilize in 1980 at 2% per year. (Over the past 10 years, annual growth has averaged 5.25% in added miles of public sewer, 9.07% in increased average daily plant flow, 4.6% in area of District, and 8.9% in total A-V.) 60. inflation was assumed to decrease to 6% which has been fixed by the national administration as an acceptable level. Footnote: These notes and the Financial Plan dated April 6, 1978 are issued for interim review only and will be updated and corrected after the annual budget is adopted, and the audit received.
