Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works RICO N0EL% �JDj Peif (Li?n- SUBJECT: Public Hearing to Consider Accepting the Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit for Fiscal Year 2016-17 and Approve for Introduction Ordinance No. 4140 amending Chapter 14.55 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) relating to Sewer Service Rates Methodology Statement of Issue: Section 14.54.060 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) requires the City Council to establish sewer service charges by ordinance. Chapter 14.55 of the HBMC establishes the formula for modifying the charges and codifies an annual increase based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase available in July. The Sewer Service Charge Annual Performance Audit is presented to the City Council as required by HBMC Section 14.54.070. Financial Impact: Sewer Service Fund (511) revenue for Fiscal Year 2017-18 is estimated at $11,101,250 if the CPI adjustment is made to the Sewer Service Charge. Recommended Action: A) Accept the Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit for Fiscal Year 2016-17; and, B) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 4140, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 14.55 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to the Sewer Service Rates Methodology." (Five affirmative votes are required to adopt this ordinance per Health and Safety Code Section 5471). Alternative Action(s): 1. Do not accept the Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit and direct staff to make specific modifications. 2. Do not adopt Ordinance No. 4140 and suspend the Sewer Service Charge adjustment. 3. Reduce the Sewer Service Charge by a specific percentage. Analysis: The Sewer Service Fund is designated solely for facilities and resources relating to the rehabilitation, replacement, repair and maintenance of City -owned sewers and lift -stations. This is Item 1.2. - 1 HB -302- Dept. ID PW 17-048 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date: 9/5/2017 in accordance with California Health and Safety Code Section 5470, and is included as Chapter 14.54 in the HBMC. Section 14.54.070 Annual Program Review of the HBMC requires an annual review and performance audit of the Sewer Service Fund by the Public Works Commission. The audit was presented to the Commission at the July 19, 2017 meeting. Per the aforementioned section of the Municipal Code, "the City Council shall receive, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the recommendations of the Public Works Commission concerning fees, rates and charges proposed to be modified or added to the Sewer Service User Charge." In accordance with Section 14.55.030 Annual CPIU Adjustments, each Sewer Service User Charge shall be adjusted to reflect the annual percentage adjustment in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPIU) in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties established by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, available as of July 1, 2017. The CPIU reflects an annual increase of 2.5%. In 2014, the City Council adopted the Sewer Service Fund Reserve Policy. The Reserve Policy requires that $8.25 million be available at the end of the current fiscal year. At this time, the reserves at the end of the current fiscal year are projected to be $18.5 million. However, the City still needs to replace 11 aging sewer lift stations. The current design and construction cost estimate for the replacement of these stations in today's dollars is approximately $30 million. Additionally, sewer lines in some areas of the City have experienced significant issues with calcification. Calcification is costly to remove and the extent of this issue is not yet known. If not addressed, calcification can lead to the reduction in flow capacity of sewer lines and increase the potential of sanitary sewer overflows. The sewer lateral program has seen an increased demand over the last two fiscal years. Sewer lateral repairs have increased from 285 in 2015 to 319 in 2016 and are on pace for around 350 this year. Although current demand is about half of the FY 2008/09 demand when the program was introduced, it is possible that these expenses will continue to increase. A rate analysis on both water and sewer rates is currently underway. A recommendation to modify rates will be made when the analysis is complete. If Ordinance No. 4140 is adopted, the rate adjustment would go into effect on October 18, 2017. Environmental Status: Not Applicable Public Works Commission Action The Public Works Commission voted 3-1 to recommend to the City Council to approve the Performance Audit and retain the programmed 2.5 percent rate adjustment at their July 19, 2017 regular meeting. Strategic Plan Goal: Enhance and maintain infrastructure. Attachment(s): 1. Annual Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit for Fiscal Year 2016-17 2. Ordinance No. 4140, "An Ordinance of the City of Huntington Beach Amending Chapter 14.55 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code Relating to the Sewer Service Rates Methodology" HB -303- Item 12. - 2 City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit Review of Fiscal Year 2016117 rourleyelw4roml On September 4, 2001, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a Sewer Service User Charge and created the Sewer Service Fund. The Sewer Service Fund revenue is designated solely for the rehabilitation, replacement, repair and maintenance of City - owned sewers and lift stations. This is in accordance with the California Health and Safety Code Section 5470, and is included in the ordinance that adds Chapter 14.54 to the Huntington Beach Municipal Code. The ordinance established the Huntington Beach Public Works Commission as both the oversight committee and the final appeals board. The Sewer Service Fund shall be subject to an annual review and performance audit by the Public Works Commission. The information presented in this report complies with Section 14.54.070 Annual Program Review. In addition, the City Council shall receive, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the recommendations of the Public Works Commission concerning fees, rates and charges proposed to be modified or added to the sewer service user charge. A public hearing on proposed charges will be held annually in conjunction with the City's annual budget process and hearing. Scheduled maintenance projects and minor emergency repairs will be completed within the allotted budget. Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Inspection and cleaning of sewer mains. Operations and maintenance of the City's 27 sewer lift stations. Capital improvements including lift station design and construction work and the sewer lining program. A Sewer Lateral Program was added effective January 3, 2008, and the sewer service charge was adjusted to cover the projected expenses. The program transferred the responsibility to the City for sewer lateral repairs within the City - owned right-of-way, Initially, the cost of the program exceeded the additional revenue generated by the adjustment to the sewer service user charge. Costs for this program have decreased significantly since its inception. July 2017 e 1 - Item 12. - 3 HB -304- i' The City Council adopted a reserve policy for enterprise funds in FY 14/15. The reserve policy for the Sewer Service Funds states that the City will maintain a reserve equal to the sum of the following: o Operations and Maintenance: Thirty-three percent (33%) of the adopted annual budget to ensure adequate working capital for operating expenses. This amount is $2.6 million. o Capital Improvement Program (CIP): One -hundred percent (100%) of the average annual planned Capital Improvement Program for the following five years. This amount is $2.65 million. o Emergency: an amount equal to the estimated cost, as determined by the City Engineer, to replace one sewer lift station. This amount is $3.0 million. o The total reserve would amount to $8.25 million. The Municipal Code states that the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPIU) in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside Counties established by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that is available July 1 shall be used to calculate adjustments to sewer service rates. Review of Fiscal Year 2016117 Personnel and operating expenditures account for approximately seventy percent (70%) of the Fiscal Year 2016/17 Sewer Service Fund budget and are directed toward preventative and routine maintenance. The budget includes salaries and benefits, sewer line maintenance, CCTV pipeline and lateral inspection, lift station services, manhole upgrades, the sewer lateral program and cost allocation charges to the City's General Fund. The balance of the expense budget is earmarked for capital equipment replacement and capital projects, including slip lining, pipeline rehabilitation, and lift station replacement. In general, the Sewer Maintenance Section of the Utilities Division expends the operating and equipment replacement budgets, and the Engineering Division is responsible for the implementation of capital projects. Sewer Lining: A $350,000 11,339 linear feet sewer lining project was completed this year. Sewer Lift Station: Design of the Edgewater Sewer Lift Station was completed with construction to occur in FY 2017/18. Maintenance Activities: Totals for various maintenance activities are presented below. CCTV Inspection: The sewer system is inspected through the use of Closed Circuit Television inspection. A contractor was employed during this last fiscal year to video inspect portions of the sewer system's main collection lines located in the City's July 2017 - 2 - HB -305- Item 12. - 4 arterial and high traffic volume streets. City crews video inspect the sewer mains located in residential areas and low traffic volume streets. Sewer Line Maintenance Routine cleaning of 1,562,410 linear feet of sewer pipe. Removal of 4,651 pounds of debris/grit during routine cleaning. Cleaned 225 enhanced cleaning areas (areas of sewer line cleaned from two times to twelve times per year) for a total of 521,210 linear feet through June. The Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) program has cleaned 11,458 linear feet of sewer line around food service establishments and other areas with high grease concentrations. Applied root control to 26,250 linear feet of sewer line. Sewer lateral repair program received and resolved 352 requests for repair to date.

July 2017 - 3 - Item 12. - 5 HH _306- Sewer Lateral Program Under the Sewer Lateral Program, the City assumed responsibility for the repair of all sewer laterals from the City -owned sewer main through the public right-of-way to the private property line. The property owner remains responsible for all costs of repair and maintenance of that portion of the sewer lateral on private property. This program is response driven as all work orders are generated in response to calls from residents and businesses. Expenditures on the Sewer Lateral Program have decreased significantly since the program was initiated in Fiscal Year 2008/09. Staff had previously budgeted for the Sewer Lateral Program based on the expenditures in the first two years of the program. However, following reductions in calls after the first three fiscal years of the program, staff reduced the budget. Demand had leveled off from 2011 /12 to 2014/15, but has seen an uptick the last two fiscal years. $2,500,000 $2,000,000 $1, 500,000 $1, 000,000 $500,000 $0 Sewer Lateral Expenditures 2008/09 2009/10 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 July 2017 - 4 - HB -307- Item 12. - 6 FY 2016117 Projected Expenditures Personnel Original Budget Revised Budget* Projected Salaries, Permanent $2,198,299 $2,198,299 $1,659,290 Salaries, Temporary $55,450 $55,450 $33,960 Salaries, Overtime $82,500 $82,500 $110,512 Benefits $1,189,954 $1,189,954 $1,032,685 Total Personnel $3,526,203 $3,526,203 $2,836,437 Operating Utilities $110,000 $110,000 $108,000 Equipment and Supplies $348,350 $448,389 $221,000 Repairs and Maintenance $1,621,000 $1,648,615 $1,726,468 Conferences and Training $4,000 $4,000 $9,300 Professional Services $260,000 $902,244 $196,880 Rental Expense $3,500 $3,500 $6,000 Interdepartmental Charges $1,670,961 $1,670,961 $1,670,961 Expense Allowance $5,800 $5,800 $5,800 Total Operating $4,023,611 $4,793,509 $3,944,409 Capital Equipment $0 $470 $470 Vehicles $0 $200,181 $200,181 Total Capital $0 $200,651 $200,651 CIP Improvements $1,520,000 $4,134,493 $666,121 Total CIP $1,520,000 $4,134,493 $666,121 Total $9,069,814 $12,654,856 $7,647,618 *Revised Budget includes funds carried over from prior fiscal year July 2017 5 - Item 12.-7 FY 2016117 Projected Revenues Source FY 15/16 Actual Customer Charges $10,846,356 Interest $161,566 Other $435,120 Total $11,433,032 FY 16117 Projected $10,831,455 $166,850 17 394 $11,015,699 Projected FY 2016117 Fund Balance Beginning Balance 10/1/2016 $22,047,153 Projected Revenues FY 16/17 $11,015,699 Proposed Expenditures FY 16/17 ($7,647,618) Estimated GASB Adjustment ($6,886,667) Projected End Balance 9/30/2017 $18,528,567 Proposed FY 2017/18 Budget Sewer Service User Charge Adjustments In accordance with Section 14.55.030 Annual CPIU Adiustments, each Sewer Service User Charge shall be adjusted to reflect the annual percentage adjustment in Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPIU) in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties established by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and available as of July 1 of each year. The purpose for annual adjustment of the rates is to ensure that the revenues continue to fully fund the needs of the program. To accommodate the billing system, all service charge rates are calculated to four decimal places, and charged on a daily factor. The daily factor converts the monthly charge based on a 365-day year. This is a modification from the initially adopted rate schedule. The customer's bill reflects a charge based on the number of days between meter readings. A resolution was adopted by the City Council to authorize the daily rate methodology. July 2017 - 6 - HB -309- Item 12. - 8 The percentage adjustment in the CPIU available as of July 1, 2017 for the month of May reflects an annual increase of 2.5%. This percentage adjustment is included as the recommended adjustment to the Sewer Service User Charge effective October 1, 2017. The following table shows the 2.5% increase. For purposes of comparison, the rates represent a monthly charge.
