Accept the Sewer Service Charge Performance Audit as presented; and. 2. Adopt Ordinance No. 3814 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 adopt the ordinance and continue charges as currently established. This action would reduce revenue by 3.7%, and, potentially conflict with Section 14.55.030 Annual CPIU Adjustments. 2. Do not accept the Sewer Service Charge Performance Audit and direct staff to make specific modifications. REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 9/2/08 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 08-64 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 in accordance with the 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 Public Works Commission has reviewed the Sewer Service Charge Annual Performance Audit. Per 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 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 CPIU available as of July 1, 2008, for the month of May 2008, reflects an annual increase of 3.7%. The percentage was calculated and is included in the recommended increase to the Sewer Service User Charge effective October 2008. Public Works Commission Action: The Public Works Commission reviewed the Sewer Service Charge Annual Performance Audit and the Sewer Service User Charge Annual Adjustment on July 16, 2008, and recommended the report be forwarded to City Council and recommended the rate adjustment for City Council approval by a vote of 6-0-1.

Ordinance No. 3814 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 -2- 8/18/2008 9:23 AM City of Huntington Beach Public Works Department Sewer Service Fund Performance Audit Review of Fiscal Year 2007108 Introduction On September 4, 2001, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted a Sewer Service 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. Program Overview ➢ Both revenues and expenditures for the sixth year of the program are consistent with the adopted budget. ➢ Scheduled maintenance projects and minor emergency repairs will be completed within the allotted budget. ➢ Capital improvements included lift station design work, the sewer lining program, and the continued upgrade of the SCADA system. ➢ The Municipal Code states that the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers (CPIU) that is available July 1 shall be used to calculate rates. ➢ A Sewer Lateral Program was added effective January 3, 2008. The program transferred the responsibility to the City for sewer lateral repairs within the City- owned right-of-way. July 2008 - 1 - Review of 2007/08 Budget Personnel and operating expenditures account for approximately twenty-seven percent of the adopted 2007/08 Sewer Service Fund budget, and are directed toward preventative and routine maintenance. The budget includes salaries, sewer line maintenance, lift station services and manhole upgrades. The balance of the expense budget is earmarked for capital projects, including slip lining, pipeline rehabilitation and lift station replacements, and capital equipment replacements. 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 Lift Stations: Design of the Brighton/Shoreham and the Edwards/Balmoral sewer lift stations was completed in FY 2007/08. Construction of Brighton/Shoreham will be awarded later in the fiscal year. Construction of Edwards/Balmoral is scheduled for FY 2008/09. Sewer lining: CCTV inspections conducted earlier in the year revealed no major defects. Therefore, funds originally budgeted for this project will not be encumbered in FY 2007/08. Warner Gravity Sewer Construction/Lift Station "D": Sewer Lift Station "D" was completed in FY 2007/08. The station will become operational contingent upon modifications of the Warner Avenue Gravity Sewer, which is necessary to divert the sewer from the existing lift station to the new station. Construction of the remainder of the Warner Avenue Gravity Sewer project has been halted due to construction issues yet to be resolved. SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems are utilized by both the sewer and water utilities to control and monitor remotely, the many facilities. With the Public Works Department reorganization and the creation of the new Utilities Division, upgrade of the sewer SCADA system is planned. The water SCADA system was upgraded to a spread spectrum radio and PC based control system in 2000. Work to convert the sewer SCADA to the same format and equipment standards as the water SCADA continued in FY 2007/08. Utilities Operation Yard Upgrades: Sewer Service funds were budgeted this year for a portion of these improvements. However, the decision was made to fund this project 100% through the Water Fund. The Sewer Service Fund portion of the improvements will be determined at a later date.

According to projections, some savings will be realized in the areas of utilities and salaries. The primary utility cost is electricity to the lift stations. Staff monitors electrical use and works with Southern California Edison to insure that each lift station is signed on for the most economical rate.

Sewer Lateral Program As presented to the Public Works Commission and the City Council, a sewer lateral program was added to the Sewer Service Fund effective January 3, 2008. Past practice placed the responsibility for maintenance of sewer laterals (the discharge line from the property to the City sewer line) entirely on the owner of the property, even for that portion of the lateral that crosses public property (from beginning of the right-of-way to the City sewer line). This has been a common practice in municipalities. However, since the majority of lateral damage is due to root damage from publicly-owned parkway trees, cities, including Huntington Beach, have typically lost any challenges to this practice, with courts opining that the City is responsible for the line within the public right-of-way. To date, 65 claims have been resolved. Repairs have been performed primarily by contract with assistance from City Sewer Crews. Total costs to date are approximately $360,000, ($350,000 contractor charges and $10,000 in city labor/equipment/material) for the first six months of the program. However, the bulk of these charges have come in recent months as word of the program has spread. Staff has included $1,400,000 in the FY 2008/09 budget to cover the program and will be studying the cost-effectiveness of adding a crew versus continuing to perform the work via contractor. July 2008 -6- Proposed FY 2008/09 Budget Sewer Service Charge Adjustments 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 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. The percentage adjustment in the CPIU available as of July 1, 2007 for the month of May reflects an annual increase of 3.7%. This percentage will be calculated and included as the recommended increase to the Sewer Service User Charge effective October 1, 2008. For purposes of comparison, the rates represent a monthly charge.
