PUBLIC HEARING - WATER RATE STUDY/ADJUSTMENT Councilman Brown requested that the Water Study be held over to a future date to allow further review, citing specifically the increase to Leisure World of the current Ready to Serve fee of $1824 to the proposed Standby Fee of $12,095, the result of Leisure World being served by a twelve inch meter where residential units served by a three-quarter inch meter would have no increase. The city Engineer explained that the proposed rates would mean about $.15 to $.16 per Leisure World unit, there being approximately six thousand units. Councilman Brown voiced concern also with the increased costs associated with the projected units of water delivered to Leisure World versus a single family residence, objected that the base year reflected was also the year of the greatest degree of water conservation in Leisure World, and pointed out that the water flow from fire hydrants in Leisure World is metered where it is not elsewhere in the City. The Mayor noted concern that water service rates have not been adjusted for approximately four years yet during that period there have been substantial increases passed on to the City by the other water agencies that are not being recovered through current rates. The city Manager presented the staff report, noted that in providing direction to the engineering staff to initiate an analysis of the water services it appeared that the existing structure and rates did not take into consideration an evaluation of the system and its worth in terms of fixed assets, therefore the need to establish a reasonable rate charge to the consumer that would allow for the continuation of capital replacement, the existing system valued at more than $20 million with a typical life of twenty to thirty years for each system. He explained that a tiered rate structure is proposed whereby the larger user would pay a higher rate, noting that since the draught years the PUC and the LegiSlature have been encouraging cities and utilities to establish rates that would clearly identify the value of the commodity and not be an incentive to consume, yet the current structure in this community provides for reduction of rates for the higher volume use. The Manager reported it has also been found that water utilized for construction purposes has gone unmetered and without compensation to the City, where that 10-26-92 cost should be borne by the developer and not the consumer. He mentioned the importance of maintaining fire service connections for that purpose only and noted the staff recommendation that detection devices be installed on those facilities that are presently not metered. The Manager pointed out that in considering the fixed and variable costs together there is need for revenue of approximately $1.9 million, that current budget I reflects $1.7 million, thus a shortfall, requirement that capital . be deferred, and a virtually non-existent capital reserve. He explained that the tiering method was used to create a commodity rate and assessed charge from the instant of water usage, thus elimination of the guaranteed monthly minimum for water use, separation of the connection fee from consumption, and a charge for all consumption, the commercial and larger meter users would also be subject to the cost of defraying any penalties imposed by other agencies as a result of utilizing a larger quantity of water and/or lack of conservation efforts. councilman Brown expressed his opinion that the tiering method should not apply to an area such as Leisure World since it is served by one meter and only one billing is required, which he said is a saving of administrative costs as compared to the other thousands of billings that are processed and where additional costs are often incurred for collection. He objected to Leisure World being categorized the same as commercial, being penalized as a result of Leisure World conservation efforts during the base year referenced, suggesting it should be based on a three to five year period, and offered his belief that replacement of the twelve inch meter would be less expensive than several thousand three- quarter inch meters. It was pointed out that the tiering applies only to actual consumption. Staff explained that the number of meters citywide is four thousand seven hundred seventy-three, meters over one and one-half inches is considered commercial, I that the commercial increase is 6.9 times greater than current rates, residential 7 times greater, the one inch meter is twelve _ times greater, and the only way to clearly identify how Leisure World will be affected is a like-household cost comparison. The city Manager clarified that although referred to as a meter or standby charge, in actuality it is to benefit the capital system that provides the water, the wells, lines, connections to other agencies, etc., and noted that overhead is a small portion of the overall, yet currently the Water Fund can not afford the eighteen percent that it should be charged. Councilman Brown projected the rate increase will fall between eighteen to twenty-four percent. with regard to rate impacts for single family residential, the City Manager explained that the current standby fee is $1 with a $6.00 per month minimum, the proposal is that the standby increase from $1 to $7, the $6 monthly minimum would be eliminated, replaced by the per unit commodity, and if the residence uses an average of twelve commodity units there is no increase, however if the consumption were 15,000 gallons the percentage increase would be 5.7. The Manager explained further that it was recognized that the Leisure World units are not comparable to the typical single family residence, therefore the metered multiple units in the city were analyzed to determine the dollar amount presently being paid, the budget was considered, the value of the system determined as well as its replacement I value, the cost of water purchases included, and then the dollar cost was identified for every unit in order to support the system and establish a rate for the commodity that was more reflective of the actual cost. The Manager advised that determination of the base year is at the discretion of the Council. Again to Councilman Brown's concern regarding the increased cost as a result of the twelve inch meter, staff acknowledged that a twelve inch meter into a residential area is unique, confirmed that single family residences pay significantly more for water services, and it is not felt there is disparity between the units in Leisure World and those in other areas of the community. I I I 10-26-92 staff reported that considering that the rates reflect consumption and the connection in combination, if the Leisure World consumption in the highest usage month, August, were equal to the prior year the increase would be 19 percent, if there were a ten percent reduction during the same period the increase would be 7.8 percent or 3.8 percent increase in a non-landscape watering time period, and likewise if consumption was ten percent higher the increase could be 24 percent. It was pointed out that the single family residence will be charged $7 per month meter charge, the cost to Leisure world will be $1008, however if those six thousand units were charged the $7, that would equate to $42,000. Discussion continued. It was the order of the Chair, with consent of the Council, to declare a recess at 8:41 p.m. The Council reconvened at 8:50 p.m. with Mayor Forsythe calling the meeting to order. Mayor Forsythe declared the public hearing open to consider adjustment of the water service rates. The city Clerk certified that notice of the public hearing had been advertised as required by law, and reported no communications received either for or against this matter. Dr. David Rosenman, 8th street, said the metering fee appears to be the concern, and offered that that fee is actually a capacity charge, a charge for providing water service. He pointed out that at some point the entire system will need to be replaced yet there are no funds to do so, and suggested that if Leisure World wishes to pay the single family residential rate their twelve inch meter should be replaced with three-quarter inch meters like the single family units. There being no further comments, Mayor Forsythe declared the public hearing closed. RESOLUTION NUMBER 4185 - WATER SERVICE RATES Resolution Number 4185 was presented to Council entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, INCREASING WATER METER SERVICE CONNECTION FEES (STANDBY FEES), INCREASE WATER SERVICE RATES, ESTABLISHING A WATER SERVICE CONNECTION FEE (STANDBY FEE) FOR ALL FIRE SERVICES, ESTABLISHING THE NEW CONNECTIONS AS THE MINIMUM FEE CHARGED, ESTABLISHING A REQUIREMENT FOR PAYMENT OF A METER SERVICE CONNECTION FEE (STANDBY FEE) AND WATER SERVICE RATE FOR TEMPORARY SERVICES, ABOLISHING THE GRANTING OF ANY WATER ALLOWANCES AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 3809." By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution Number 4185 was waived. At the request of Council, the city Engineer explained that the cost to a single family household using twelve commodity units would be $13 per month, in Leisure World if the usage is the same as the prior year the cost could be as little as $2.04 per household or up to $8.67 per month, using Oakwood Apartments as a comparison, Building C, having sixty-nine units, could range from $6.66 to $9.87 per month per household, or Building F, having fifty-seven units, a range from $4.93 to $12.89 per month per household. Mayor Forsythe indicated her concern with the deterioration of the system, moving stock, etc. of the water utility, the use of the minimal reserves to cover the increased costs of water purchases, etc., and emphasized that the General Fund can no longer subsidize this service. Councilmember Hastings moved to adopt Resolution Number 4185 as presented, the revised rates to become effective January 1, 1993. Councilman Laszlo seconded the motion for discussion. Councilman Laszlo indicated that it is doubtful that any residence in College Park East uses no more than the minimum per month. Councilman Doane concurred with Mr. Brown that there needs to be some means of resolving the inequity of metering the fire hydrant water flow in Leisure World, and with the rates 10-26-92 proposed, inquired if the Water utility would then be self- supporting. The city Manager responded in the affirmative based upon the rates of other agencies that are presently known, however overhead would continue at 15 percent for the remainder of this fiscal year rather than the 18 percent shown to be necessary by the study, that the rates will be presented for Council review on an annual basis to ensure that they are kept I current with expenses and that capitalization of the system continues. With reference to the West Orange County Water Board, of which Seal Beach is a member, Councilman Doane reported a recent discussion relating to the deteriorating state of the water transmission equipment throughout North orange County which may become another factor of increased costs in the future, and asked if such increase would be covered by the meter fee. The Manager responded that it would be considered as a portion of the variable costs of water consumption, the city's interior distribution system, wells, motors, lines, etc., are the fixed costs covered by the meter fee. Councilman Doane mentioned his belief that a portion of a fairly recent increase was for the purpose of removing nitrates from the water as a result of the past agricultural use of much of Orange County land. With regard to the similarity of costs to Leisure World and Oakwood Apartments, the Manager reported Oakwood to have five meters. Councilman Doane encouraged the Golden Rain Foundation and the other local golf courses to work together to institute the use of recycled water for those landscaped areas, also that the concerns raised at this meeting be given further consideration. The city Manager suggested that the issue of metering or crediting back in the event of fire in Leisure World could be dealt with further, separate from the resolution, with a subsequent report and recommendation to the Council. The City Engineer reported that given the design of the system, the lines that feed the hydrants I also have laterals that supply domestic water to the units, therefore there would be no means to separate the water supply to - the hydrants from the units, likewise it would be very costly to meter each hydrant. He mentioned however that in the event of fire, the fire flow from a hydrant is rated at so many gallons per minute, and suggested that method as a means to calculate use for credit purposes. Councilman Laszlo said it is likely that some recycled water is already being used on landscaping, and possibly water used for fire fighting purposes could be covered by insurance. Vote on Resolution Number 4185: AYES: NOES: Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo Brown Motion carried PUBLIC HEARING - REFUSE COLLECTION RATES / RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE RECYCLING The City Manager requested direction from the Council with regard to a recycling program, and suggested that the scheduled public hearing to consider refuse collection rates could be opened and continued or continued to a subsequent meeting. Mayor Forsythe declared the public hearing open to consider refuse collection rates. The city Clerk certified that notice of the public I hearing had been advertised as required by law, and reported no communications received either for or against this item. As to the affect of the State budget on AB939, staff reported the legislation is presently being analyzed, however the only impact appears to be that the State Integrated Waste Management Board has determined to use a disposal based reporting system which will lower city costs for future reporting. The City Manager reported that the adopted Integrated Waste Management Element did tend towards a MRF recycling plan rather than curbside, however the Element is subject to amendment upon the determination of the type of program by the Council. He noted that the primary saving I I I 10-26-92 would be to implement the residential pickup on a once a week basis whether recycling is accomplished through the MRF plan or curbside. The Manager requested Council direction to prepare a program based on residential curbside recycling with a once per week pickup for refuse and greenwaste, and commingled recyclables picked up on an every other week basis, explaining that the three bin, once a week program would be implemented for residential properties of College Park East, College Park West, and the Hill, and properties south of Pacific Coast Highway would have a two bin program for refuse and recyclables, not greenwaste, and continue with the twice a week pickup. He noted that color coded bins would be provided under that program and although final analysis is not complete, it appears the program can be initiated without a refuse rate increase. He stated that recent articles have shown that cities that have gone to the MRF program are finding that they need to also initiate curbside recycling in order to eventually meet the required fifty percent refuse reduction. The Manager confirmed that separate refuse contracts exist for Leisure World, Surfside, and the Naval Weapons station, that the records of Leisure World reflect a thirty percent diversion at the present time, yet the twenty-five percent required diversion will affect the entire city and the cooperation of the separate contracts will need to be a consideration associated with the program. Ms. Jamie Herbon, contract program coordinator, indicated that enforcement of the City's anti-scavenging ordinance is basically left to the attention of individual neighborhoods, that experience has shown that there is little interest in rummaging for commingled recyclables, also it can be recommended to the residents that they place the recyclables in the bottom of the bins, and noted that under the disposal based reporting system, recycling of materials can be done in any manner the consumer may choose, in other words, not only through the local recycling program. The Manager mentioned that their is no guarantee against scavenging, that there have been discussions regarding enforcement with the Police Department, possibility of allowing Parking Control Officers to issue citations, and noted some cities restrict the hours for curbside placement of recycling bins. The size of the containers were reported to be either sixty or one hundred gallon capacity. Ms. Herbon explained that most cities do not direct the destination of the flow of waste due to the potential increased liability for hazards, the refuse destination generally addressed through the contract with the refuse hauler. Mr. George Briggeman, refuse contractor, said their firm is presently experimenting with the transport of residential refuse to the waste energy plant in Long Beach, which necessitates the guarantee of a certain number of truckloads per day, noted that transport from Orange County to Los Angeles County landfills is not permitted, and reported a significant reduction of landfill waste to this time, in fact through waste diversion and reduced tonnage the County may again consider increasing fees, implementing a flow control or rate stabilization. It was noted that there is presently no recycling program for greenwaste. With regard to MRF programs, Mr. Briggeman stated there are two types of programs, one a commingling of refuse, the other the sorting of recyclable materials, and offered that the twenty-five percent reduction will not be realized through a commingled MRF program. Discussion continued regarding Material Recovery Facility recycling, question as to whether collection of recyclable items would be remembered if done on a bi-weekly basis, and once versus twice a week pickups. The city Manager reported the current rate for residential curbside refuse collection is $12.75, the proposed curbside, three bin, recycling program is estimated to be $12.50, approximately $13.50 for twice per week collection, and noted that the Waste Management Element calls for a program to be in place by January, 1993. 10-26-92 The Council requested that a breakdown of costs be prepared for a once and twice per week curbside recycling program as well as the commingled and separated Materials Recovery Facility programs. It was the consensus of the Council to continue the public hearing until the regular meeting of November 23rd. ARCHAEOLOGICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE -I The Director of Development Services reported that in conjunction with the application for a Conditional Use Permit for reactivation of the UNOCAL Seal Beach Processing Facility at 99 Marina Drive and the provisions of the Archaeological and Historical Element of the General Plan, the UCLA Archaeological Information Center has recommended a Phase I Archaeological survey, a site survey, walkover inspection, be done by a professional archaeologist prior to approval of the project plans. The Director recommended adoption of the proposed Resolution creating the Archaeological Committee, appointment of members thereto, and the selection an archaeological consultant. Laszlo moved, second by Brown, to adopt Resolution Number 4186 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, CREATING AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE." By unanimous consent, full reading of Resolution number 4186 was waived. AYES: NOES: Brown, Doane, Forsythe, Hastings, Laszlo None Motion carried Councilmember Hastings appointed Mr. David Belardes, Native American coalition, as the District One appointee to the Committee. It was the consensus of the Council to hold over the remaining Committee appointments and selection of an archaeological consultant until next meeting. I" COUNCIL CONCERNS Making reference to the upcoming project for resurfacing of College Park East streets, Councilmember Hastings inquired as to when repair of the downtown streets might take place. The City Manager advised that funding for an asphalt survey was included in the budget, that survey to establish a priority list of projects, that there will be some monies available through Measure M, paving beinq an eligible project. Councilman Brown expressed appreciation to the Mayor for her attendance at a recent Golden Age Foundation function. Councilman Doane invited Leisure World residents having an interest in serving on the Archaeological Committee to contact him. He reported receiving considerable support from Leisure World residents with regard to the concerns and position of the Council relating to the proposed development of Bolsa Chica. The Mayor commended the Golden Age Foundation function she recently attended. Mayor Forsythe urged everyone to vote on November 3rd. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Mayor Forsythe declared Oral communications open. Sol John wished all a safe and happy Halloween. Councilmember Hastings encouraged a visit to the Halloween Haunted House on Main Street, sponsored by the Recreation Department. There being no further comments, Mayor Forsythe declared Oral Communications closed.
