NATURAL GAS PURCHASE
1) Agreement to Purchase Natural Gas
On December 2, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the General Manager to agree
to purchase natural gas (NG) through 2024 with a $7.00 per dekatherm limit. Staff has
agreed to purchase 333 dekatherms per day at $5.36 per dekatherm for the period of
January to March of 2022.
FINANCE
2) COVID-19 Cost Reimbursement Funding Approval
On December 16, 2021, Central San was notified by Contra Costa County and the
California Special Districts Association (CSDA) that its application for funding from the
COVID-19 Independent Special District Relief Fund was approved in the amount of
$996,117. The COVID-19 Independent Special District Relief Fund was a $100 million
fund established by the State from general fund revenues to reimburse special districts for
eligible COVID-19 related costs and revenue losses. Central San submitted an
application for $2,798,700 by the application deadline of October 15, 2021, with the
application amount consisting of labor and non-labor COVID-19 impact costs, which were
separately accounted for by Central San. No revenue loss was calculated by Central San
based on the required definition, due to the fact that (1) revenues were defined as
agency-wide revenues, and not selected line items; (2) FY 2020-21 revenues as
recognized by Central San did not yet include calendar year 2020 water consumption,
which, while lower for commercial customers, was billed in the subsequent fiscal year.
The funding amount of$996,117 was less than the application amount because the
$100 million fund was limited and was not sufficient to cover all claims in full, but the
amount allocated to each special district represented a proportionate ratio of claims
submitted divided by funds available. Funds will be disbursed by January 15, 2022.
Central San has also been accounting for COVID-19 related costs that will also be
submitted as a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) claim when the end of
the emergency period is declared by FEMA. This claim amount, expected to be on the
order of the low several hundred thousand dollar range, will provide additional recovery of
COVID related costs.
