BOARD POLICY
COST OF SERVICE STUDIES
PURPOSE
Central San, as a public utility, calculates and sets rates based on the cost of providing
services to customers. The State of California Government Code, including Section
54999.7, requires that public agencies periodically conduct a cost of service study. This
Policy directs the Central San to comply with this requirement. An accompanying
administrative procedure provides other guidance related to the need to ensure
adequate cost support exists for changes in Central San rates.
POLICY
I. A cost of service study addressing rates subject to Proposition 218 shall be
conducted not less than once every ten years. This policy is consistent with state
law specifying that any public utility serving a public school must perform a cost
of service study not less than once every ten years.
II. A new or updated cost of service study may be appropriate more frequently in
certain circumstances, to be assessed by staff each time rate changes are
proposed. Staff shall report to the Board at the time of the proposed rate
change on whether, in staff's opinion, the Cost of Service study remains a valid
basis for the rates. An administrative procedure addressing this assessment is
maintained by the General Manager.
