All" BOARD OF DIRECTORS ' POSITION PAPER MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 22, 2020 SUBJECT: REVIEW DRAFT POSITION PAPER TO RECEIVE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2019- 20 PRE-AUDIT YEAR-END FINANCIAL STATEMENT SUMMARY REPORT; AND CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES FOR ALLOCATION OF (A) $10.48 MI LLION FY 2019-20 FAVORABLE BUDGET VARIANCE AND (B) $1.25 MILLION BUDGETED IN FY2020-21 TOWARD EMPLOYEE-RELATED UNFUNDED LIABILITIES SUBMITTED BY: INITIATING DEPARTMENT: KEVIN MIZUNO, FINANCE MANAGER ADMINISTRATION-FINANCE PHILIP LEIBER, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION ISSUE The Board of Directors (Board) approves the Operations and Maintenance (O&M), Capital Improvement (CI B), Self-Insurance, and Debt Service budgets on an annual basis. At fiscal yearend, staff reviews and compares the final revenues and expenditures, based on the pre-audit financial reports and provides an update to the Board on the budget-versus-actual activity. If there is a favorable budget variance, staff typically provides alternatives for the Board's consideration for allocating the unspent funds. Finally, the FY 2020-21 budget provides for the payment of $1.25 million to be used toward employee-related unfunded liabilities. The Board also will be asked to consider staff's recommendation for allocation of these funds, to the Pension Prefunding Trust. BACKGROUND The proposed revenue and estimated expenditures within the FY 2019-20 budget compared to actual results with variances and year-end adjustments are summarized in Attachments 1 and 2, providing a detailed analysis and graphical illustrations of FY 2019-20 O&M fund budget-to-actual variances. Attachment 1 summarizes the revenue and expense variances by each sub-fund (i.e. O&M, Sewer Construction, Self-I nsurance, and Debt Service). It should be noted that the Sewer Construction Fund expenditures variance of $21.0 million is expected to be a timing issue; so this amount has been added to the FY 2020-21 Capital Improvement Program spending plan as a carry-forward. The variance in the Self- Insurance Fund is also typically reconciled as part of the budgeting process and will be resolved in the FY 2020-21 budget proposal. With those adjustments, the amount of funds to be considered for allocation to various potential uses is therefore $10.48 million, as detailed in Attachment 1. September 22, 2020 Regular FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 50 of 75 Page 2 of 14 Relevant Principles I n terms of proposing an optimal recommendation, the following principles are relevant for consideration. 1. Maintain adequate funding availability to ensure reliable operations; 2. Keep long-term Sewer Service Charge (SSC) rates as low as possible; 3. Provide SSC rate stability by minimizing significant unplanned fluctuations year to year; 4. Minimize reliance on borrowing; and 5. Maintain consistent treatment for funds that have already been allocated in the FY 2020-21 budget and associated reserve calculations. FY2019-20 Favorable Budget Variance Keeping the above principles in mind, staff recommends the following as viable, balanced alternatives for use of the $10.48 million favorable budget variance for FY 2019-20: • Retain in O&M Consistent with Budget Plan: $5.04 million (Principle 1) The FY 2020-21 budget projected the O&M fund would have reserves in excess of its minimum working capital reserve requirement as of June 30, 2020. A portion of this excess, $5.04 million, was projected to result from favorable FY 2019-20 budget variances of the O&M fund. As the Board's adopted split of Sewer Service Charges between the O&M and Sewer Construction fund in FY 2020-21 incorporated this projection, this portion of the O&M's FY 2019-20 favorable budget variance should remain in the fund excess reserves to be drawn down during FY 2020-21. [Supported by principles 1,5] • Retain in Sewer Construction Fund: $3.2 million (Principle 4 above) Bolstering the Sewer Construction Fund may reduce borrowing needs currently anticipated for FY 2021-22 and FY 2022-23. Retaining the positive revenue budgetary revenue variance in the Sewer Construction Fund's reserves will help achieve this. It should be noted that the Reserve Calculation in the FY 2020-21 budget assumed a favorable Sewer Construction revenue variance of$5.1 million, while the actual favorable variance is only$3.2 million. This does not present a problem however in meeting any reserve policy targets as the Sewer Construction fund balance was and is expected to be above the targeted level as of June 30, 2020, and June 30, 2021, respectively. [Supported by principles 4,51 • Contribute to O&M Rate Stabilization Reserve Account: $2.15 million (Principles 2 and 3) The Rate Stabilization Reserve Account was established by the Board during FY 2019-20 as permitted by the 2018 Refunding Bond Indenture. This restricted account can be drawn down when needed to meet specified debt service coverage levels. Furthermore, the District retains the right at any time to withdraw any or all amounts on deposit in this restricted account and apply such amounts for any lawful purposes of the District relating to the Wastewater System, including, but not limited to, avoid the need for higher-than-desired rate increases. As of June 30, 2020, the O&M and Sewer Construction rate stabilization reserve accounts had balances of$1.61 million and $1.0 million, respectively. This contribution would increase the O&M Rate Stabilization Reserve Account balance to $3.76 million. [Supported by principles 1,2,31 • Transfer to Self-Insurance Fund Reserve: $0.1 million (Principle 1) Each year, the budget incorporates a transfer from the O&M fund to the Self-Insurance Fund to cover projected operational expenses (i.e. insurance premiums, uninsured losses, etc.) as well as meet the minimum reserve requirements stipulated by the District's Fiscal Reserves Policy. This transfer, equal to the total FY 2019-20 negative budget variance reported in the Self-I nsurance Fund, will help insure the Self-Insurance Fund has sufficient funding to cover its expected FY 2020-21 operational costs and maintain adequate reserve levels. [Supported by principles 1,5] September 22, 2020 Regular FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 51 of 75 Page 3 of 14 FY 2020-21 Funds Allocated Toward Emplo-yee-Related Unfunded Liabilities Staff is also seeking the Board's direction regarding the $1.25 million budgeted in FY 2020-21 for paying down unfunded other post-employment benefits (OPEB) or pension-related liabilities. Staff recommends that this year's budgeted amount be dedicated toward the Pension Prefunding Trust. With a market value of approximately$10.3 million as of June 30, 2020, exclusive of investment gains and losses, this additional contribution would bring to the total Pension Prefunding Trust balance to $11.55 million. This would result in pro-forma pension funding ratio of 84.9%, inclusive of CCCERA and Pension Prefunding Trust assets. The long-term projected impact of continued annual $1.25 million contributions to the trust is illustrated on slide 13 of Attachment 3, which projects the pension plan unfunded actuarial accrued liability(UAAL)will be fully paid down by FY 2024-25. ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS The Board may elect to allocate the favorable FY 2019-20 budget variance toward the staff-recommended alternatives proposed above or may elect to fund these choices at different levels. Absent specific Board action, the entire favorable budget variance would, through operation of the fiscal reserve policies and mechanics of the financial plan, ultimately be allocated to the Sewer Construction Fund. FINANCIAL IMPACTS Due to the FY 2019-20 favorable variances in the O&M and Sewer Construction fund budgets, Central San's beginning cash balances for FY 2020-21 are higher than projected when rates were established in April 2019 and contemplated during the FY 2020-21 budget process. The variance of$10.48 million can be directed toward multiple beneficial uses as described above. The financial impact is favorable to District ratepayers regardless of which option is chosen, as there will be decreased future upward pressure on the SSC. As noted previously, $8.23 million of the funds were "spoken for" in the adopted budget through the projected reserve balances as of June 30, 2020, and subsequently, the allocation of the budgeted SSC for FY 2020-21. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Finance Committee reviewed this subject at its September 22, 2020 meeting and recommended receipt of the Pre-Audit Year-End Financial Statement Summary Report and supported the staff recommended budget allocations. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION Receive the FY 2019-20 Pre-Audit Year-End Financial Statement Summary Report and direct staff to: 1. Make the following allocations for utilization of the $10.48 million FY 2019-20 favorable budget variance: $ 5.04 million retained in O&M Fund $ 3.19 million retained in Sewer Construction Fund $ 2.15 million to the O&M Rate Stabilization Reserve Account $ 0.10 million to the Self-I nsurance Fund Reserve $10.48 million September 22, 2020 Regular FINANCE Committee Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 52 of 75 Page 4 of 14 2. Allocate the $1.25 million additional contribution budgeted toward employee-related unfunded liabilities in the FY 2020-21 budget to Central San's Pension Prefunding Trust.

Recommendation: • $8.23 M ($5.04 M in O&M,and$3.19 M for SC)of this was already assumed in the reserve calculations per the FY 2020-21 budget. Keep those funds in respective reserves. • $2.25 M of O&M variance is available for other uses.
