ISSUE
State Law and District Code require that a public hearing be held prior to the Board of Directors'
consideration of amendments to the Schedule of Capacity Fees.
BACKGROUND
Staff has completed its annual review of Central San's Capacity Fee program and has concluded that it
would be appropriate to revise the fees to account for changes in the valuation of Central San's assets and
the number of current customers. The effect of implementing the staff recommendation would be to
change Capacity Fees as follows:
Fee Category Current Proposed % Change
Gravity Zone Fee $6,300 per RUE $6,700 per RUE 6.3%
Pumped Zone Fee $7,939 per RUE $8,336 per RUE 5.0%
(RUE = Residential Unit Equivalent)
Staff also proposes to conduct a public hearing on a related recommendation to revise the Schedule of
April 24, 2018 Regular FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 29 of 192
Page 2 of 16
Environmental and Development-Related Fees and Charges at the same June 7, 2018 meeting of the
Board of Directors.
ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS
The Board of Directors may decline to establish the recommended public hearing date or may elect to
choose a different date; however, a public hearing must be held if Capacity Fees are to be revised. If the
hearing is held on June 7, 2018, the increased fees could take effect on July 1, 2018.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
None by this action. If the staff recommendation to revise Capacity Fees is adopted by the Board of
Directors following the public hearing and the level of new development remains constant with the last
fiscal year, then the Fiscal Year 2018-19 capacity fee revenue would be approximately 6.3% higher.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
A coordinated outreach program to inform and solicit input from interested customers (including the
Building Industry Association of the Bay Area) regarding both the proposed Capacity Fees and the
proposed Environmental and Development-Related Rates and Charges will be conducted by staff before
the public hearing date.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee discussed staff's proposals for revising these fees and charges at its April 24,
2018 meeting.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Establish June 7, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. as the date and time for a public hearing to receive comments on and
consider adoption of a proposed ordinance to amend the Schedule of Capacity Fees.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE
CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
ADOPTING AN UNCODIFIED
SCHEDULE OF CAPACITY FEES, RATES AND CHARGES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH DISTRICT CODE CHAPTER 6.12
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District
(Central San) finds that substantial study has been conducted regarding the impacts of
planned future development within Central San's service area on existing Central San
services and facilities, along with an analysis of new, improved, or expanded Central
San facilities and services required or appropriate to serve new users and current users
who change the use of their connected buildings and facilities, and said studies have
set forth the relationship between the added burden imposed by such users, and the
need for an estimated cost of Central San services and facilities occasioned by this
added burden; and
WHEREAS, these studies were undertaken by Central San staff and culminated in
documents that are part of the public record, to wit: the Capital Improvement Budget
and Ten-year Capital Improvement Plan contained in the document titled, "Central
Contra Costa Sanitary District FY 2017-18 Budget," and the Staff Report on Proposed
Capacity Fee Program dated March 27, 2018; and
WHEREAS, it is reasonable and necessary that all users of Central San's wastewater
and household hazardous waste collection, treatment, recycling, reuse and disposal
services and facilities, including those temporary users served under Special Discharge
Permits, contribute their appropriate portion of the funding for such Central San services
and facilities; and
WHEREAS, a properly noticed public hearing regarding the proposed Capacity Fee
Program revisions was held on June 7, 2018, and proper notice was also given of the
availability of the documents noted above for public inspection and review prior to said
public hearing; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 6.12 of the District Code provides the enabling authority for
Central San to implement the proposed uncodified Schedule of Capacity Fees, Rates
and Charges; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds as follows:
1. Central San has made a substantial investment in assets that will benefit new
users.
2. For Central San to continue an adequate level of service to all users,
maintenance of existing facilities capacity and construction of additional facilities
capacity in the future is required.
3. The purpose of the Capacity Fee Program is to equalize the investment in
Central San's assets among current and new users, thus ensuring that new
users pay their fair share for facilities capacity and services.

4. The current Sewer Construction Fund balance and future Capacity Fee revenue
will be allocated to:
• Life-cycle replacement, renovation, upgrading and improvements to maintain
existing capacity in Central San's facilities;
• Addition to and expansion of facilities where needed or required to meet legal
and regulatory requirements;
• Equitable adjustment of contributions among current, new and contractual users;
• New users' buy-in-to-all-assets of Central San including facilities and the
balances in the:
- Sewer Construction Fund
- Running Expense Fund
- Debt Service Fund
- Self Insurance Fund
5. There is a strong and reasonable relationship between the actual added burden
imposed by new users and the proposed capacity fees, rates and charges.
6. The proposed fees, rates and charges are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per section 6.12.020 of the District Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Central Contra Costa Sanitary
District does ordain as follows:
Section 1 (To be Uncodified)

As of the effective date of this Ordinance, Capacity Fees shall be charged at such rates
and for such categories of users as set forth in said Schedule, and shall remain in effect
until amended or replaced by ordinance.
Section 2
All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance
are repealed. The provisions of this Ordinance, insofar as they are substantially the
same as existing provisions relating to the same subject matter shall be construed as
restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments. To the extent this

CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT
Report Regarding the Capacity Fee Update
March 27, 2018
INTRODUCTION
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (Central San) charges a Capacity Fee when
properties are first connected to our public sewer or when there is an expansion or
change of use for non-residential properties. Each year this fee is updated based on
changes to the value of our assets and the number of Central San's customers. This
memo summarizes the basis for the Capacity Fee and presents the calculations for the
updated fee.
BACKGROUND
The total value of Central San's existing assets (approximately $1.9 billion) is much
greater than the value of any future facilities expansion needed to accommodate future
customers. While Central San's Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 proposed Capital
Improvement Plan lists over $800 million in projects over the next 10 years, most of
these projects are for renovation, regulatory compliance, replacement or upgrading of
facilities to maintain capacity for both current and prospective customers. Central San
believes that our facilities generally have adequate capacity to serve both existing and
future customers.
The Water Environment Federation's (WEF) Manual of Practice 27, Financing and
Charges for Wastewater Systems defines several methods for calculating System
Development Charges such as Central San's Capacity Fee. Central San uses the
Equity Buy-in method and has used this methodology since 2001. Under this approach,
new customers are charged at the same equity position as existing customers which is
appropriate based on the level of assets, expansion, and capacity described above.
California Senate Bill 1760, enacted in September 1998, defines Capacity Charges for
water and sewer agencies in Section 66013 of the California Government Code. The
equity buy-in method defined by WEF and used by Central San conforms to the
requirements contained in Section 66013.
CALCULATION APPROACH
The Capacity Fee is adjusted each year to reflect the changes in the value of Central
San's assets. It is calculated using the equity buy-in approach which divides the value
of Central San's assets by the current number of Residential Unit Equivalents (RUEs) to
determine the fee. The calculated value of Central San's assets 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 Central San's temporary
April 24, 2018 Regular FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 39 of 192
Page 12 of 16
Capacity Fee Update Report
Page 2
March 27, 2018
investments at the time of each purchase and held at interest to the present,
rather than by attempting to determine actual market value.
• Facilities: The current value of investments in physical facilities is estimated by
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 then applying straight-line depreciation using the life
cycles in Table 3 with no salvage value.
Note that a category for "Mains (Renovation Program)" is included in the current
value of facilities for determination of Capacity Fees. This category accounts for
Central San'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.
• Fund Balances: Prior fiscal year ending 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 Central San's
outstanding debt.
Contributed assets are generally not included in the calculation in order to avoid double
recovery of costs, as described in Manual of Practice 27.
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 as shown below. The number of customers is determined by
calculating the number of RUEs.

Equity Buy-in Fee = ----------------------------------------
Number of Customers (RUEs)
RECOMMENDED CAPACITY FEE
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Capacity Fees for FY 2018-19 by applying the
valuation approach and facilities life cycles described above. The updated fees are:
Fee Category Current Proposed % Change
Gravity Service $6,300 per RUE $6,700 per RUE 6.3%
Pumping Service $7,939 per RUE $8,336 per RUE 5.0%

The recommended fee calculation approach is a rational, practical, equitable and
defensible method to determine the financial burden of new connections. A breakdown
of the proposed Capacity Fees by asset category is presented in Table 1. Table 2
shows a comparison of the proposed Capacity Fees to the fees charged by neighboring
agencies. The service life assumptions for each asset category are included in Table 3.
