MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE SANITARY BOARD OF

ORO LOMA SANITARY DISTRICT

April 5, 2016

The regular meeting of the Sanitary Board of Oro Loma Sanitary District was called to order by President Timothy Becker at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5, 2016, at the District offices at 2655 Grant Avenue, San Lorenzo. President Becker noted that Directors Roland Dias, Rita Duncan, and Shelia Young were present. Also in attendance were Jason Warner, General Manager; William Halsted, District Engineer; Arlene Wong, Finance Manager; Andreea Simion, Administrative Services Manager; Sally Green, District Secretary; Jen Faught, District Legal Counsel and Natasha Neves, Solid Waste Program Consultant. General public included Sasha Stackhouse, Waste Management Public Sector Services Representative. Director Young moved approval of the single Consent Calendar item, based on staff recommendation: 4) Approval of Minutes of March 15 and March 19, 2016. The motion was seconded by Director Dias and carried unanimously, 4-0. As Operations Committee Chair Walters was absent, Director Duncan reported on the March 16, 2016 Operations Committee meeting, beginning with the Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP). Director Duncan said that Plant Chemist Sara Burke provided an interesting overview of the purpose and process to achieve laboratory accreditation, which is a requirement for Oro Loma to perform water quality compliance testing for its NPDES permit. Standing Topics included February 2016 data for Natural Gas Usage, Overview of Power Production and Plant Demand, Monthly Power & Chemical Costs ($39,266) and a review of Monthly Activity Reports for the Collections, Maintenance and Operations Departments. For District Operations Overview, 1) Supervisor of Field Maintenance Lenny Rather discussed the Collections Department’s monthly production targets, noting that they vary throughout the year depending upon the season and which frequency list is being used; in February the department was 23.5% above its goal. 2) Supervisor of Plant Maintenance Scott von der Lieth reported that the Maintenance Department completed the third month of this fiscal year with less than 100 open work orders. 3) Supervisor of Plant Operations Manuel Talledo-Garcia reported that Operations staff is working in the drying beds, completing the heavy equipment operator training, and working with the grease contractor on delivery schedules. Director Duncan mentioned that Scott von der Lieth took her on a tour of several lift stations. She said that the tour was a great learning experience, and she now has a better understanding of the teamwork necessary for the successful operation of the stations. Director Dias reported on the March 17, 2016 meeting of the East Bay Dischargers Authority. Most of the meeting topics were related to the NPDES Permit, including charts showing that Oro Loma, and all the member agencies, are well below the compliance limits for TSS and CBOD; EBDA’s request to extend the abeyance period for two additional years on a petition filed with the State Water Board for review of Waste Discharge Requirements in the Permit; a letter from

the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board detailing the Permit reissuance process; and review of a checklist of annual regulatory activities completed during calendar year 2015. Other topics included resolutions approved for work at the Alvarado Effluent Pump Station and the San Leandro Effluent Pump Station, and graphic illustrations of future allocation of EBDA capital costs. Director Duncan reported on the March 18, 2016 meeting of the Personnel/Safety/Public Information Committee. The first topic was the CSRMA Workers’ Compensation Excellence Award, which focuses on practices to reduce or eliminate low-back injuries. The District submitted an application for the award in March 2016, and the results should be available this summer. Other topics included the Lift Stations Tour, conducted annually for the benefit of new employees and other District staff interested to learn more about lift stations; and the Contractor Safety Video, developed by the District, which contains a comprehensive overview of safety hazards that could be encountered by contractors working at Oro Loma. Mandatory viewing of the video is required for all contractors and their staff and subcontractors before starting work. Director Duncan said that the Committee watched and was pleased with the informative video, and complimented staff on the District’s award-winning safety program. Director Young reported on the March 21, 2016 meeting of the Solid Waste Committee, beginning with a report on two route audits conducted by District staff on February 29 and March 16, 2016. The audits documented service issues, including broken or missing lids, open lids, trash overages, trash on the ground, recycling contamination, and the lack of service tickets left by WM drivers. Waste Management is addressing the issues. Other topics included an Update on Collection of Delinquent Garbage Charges (a second letter was sent to approximately 2,800 customers, and the current standing balance of delinquent garbage charges is approximately $646,000); Follow-up on Service Tags (WM is working on a new draft with more effective language); and Public Outreach Update (Solid Waste Consultant Natasha Neves worked with WM Recycling Coordinator Michelle Taylor on a waste assessment for an 840-unit multi-family complex, and Natasha has commitment from the San Lorenzo Unified School District that food scraps collection programs will be implemented in all their kitchens by the end of the school year); and Solid Waste Program Update (Director of Community and Public Relations David Tucker is leaving Waste Management, and WM staff Kayla Rodriguez, Sasha Stackhouse, and Michelle Taylor are working together while WM is in transition). For Director Comments, Director Young said that as the District’s representative to Stopwaste, she is suggesting that this may be a good time to revisit and reevaluate the District’s position on the mandatory recycling ordinance, from which Oro Loma opted out a few years ago. Staff will review the issue and present a recommendation at a future Committee meeting. Director Young then reported on the March 23, 2016 meeting of the Alameda County Waste Management Authority. The highlight of the meeting was a discussion of the Reusable Bag Ordinance, with a draft proposed amendment to include all retail stores and restaurants. Director Becker reported on the March 24, 2016 annual dinner meeting of the Alameda County Special Districts Association, held at the Marriott Pleasanton Hotel. The meeting was attended by Directors Becker, Young, and Duncan, General Manager Warner and Administrative Services Manager Simion. The keynote address was given by Congressman Eric Swalwell, representative of the 15th District. All the attendees agreed that his topics, which ranged from interacting with other “millennials” in Congress to addressing student loan debt, were both interesting and entertaining. Director Becker said that he feels the CSDA meetings are valuable because they provide an opportunity to interact with other special districts and discuss specific and

mutual challenges faced. Director Dias moved approval of the Board Committee minutes for entry to the District record by reference. The motion was seconded by Director Young and carried unanimously, 4-0. Director Dias MOVED APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND CALLING FOR SEALED BIDS: POINT REPAIRS FY 2015-16 PHASE II PROJECT.

The project will provide for the completion of 86 point repairs on vitrified clay pipe (VCP), PVC pipe, and HDPE pipe, as well as repairs on manholes. Director Young asked how many contractors typically bid our projects, and do the same ones usually get the work. General Manager Warner said that there are 4-5 usual bidders, and the contract goes to the lowest qualified bidder. Director Young MOVED APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA TRENCHLESS INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $281,300: SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT VIA DESCANSO. The motion was seconded by Director Dias and carried unanimously, 4-0. Director Dias MOVED APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR TRACT 8284, THE BUNGALOWS, BOCKMAN ROAD, NORTH. The motion was seconded by Director Duncan and carried unanimously, 4-0. The private sanitary sewer system for this tract includes construction and installation of approximately 1,434 lineal feet of 8” PVC sanitary sewer pipe, 12 manholes and 53 sewer laterals, at an estimated construction cost of $100,000. General Manager Warner opened Staff/Director comments by advising the Board that the Proposition 218 notices were mailed; so far, the District has received 24 email protests, and both pro and con telephone responses. Staff responds to all the protest emails by thanking the senders and advising that the protests will be forwarded to the Board. The General Manager praised Administrative Services Manager Andreea Simion for her work on the CSRMA Workers’ Compensation Excellence Award application. President Becker mentioned that Director Young, General Manager Warner, and he were leaving directly after the meeting to the CASA Public Policy Forum in Sacramento. There being no further business to come before the Board, President Becker adjourned the meeting at 4:25 p.m. Timothy Becker President (Recording Secretary: Sally Green)

Background

In 2011, AB341 was signed into law, requiring all businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of trash per week, and all multi-family dwellings with 5+ units to implement recycling programs.

In 2012, ACWMA adopted a Mandatory Recycling Ordinance (MRO), imposing a more stringent version of the state mandate.

Page 33: BOARD MEETING AGENDA Tuesday, April 19, 2016 3:00 p.m. · Tuesday, April 19, 2016 . 3:00 p.m. Oro Loma Sanitary District Boardroom . 2655 Grant Avenue . San Lorenzo, CA 94580 . In

MRO – Phase I Background

Phase I of the MRO required that all businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of trash per week, and all multi-family dwellings with 5+ units implement recycling programs.

Oro Loma opted out of Phase I for its L1 (Unincorporated) Area, and participates in the MRO Phase I in its L2 and L3 areas.

As an alternative to the MRO Phase I, ACWMA mandated that the District provide one hour of technical assistance per year, per business, in order to retain its Measure D disbursements; the District exceeded the requirements, and the Measure D disbursements continued.

MRO – Phase II Background

MRO Phase II went into effect on July 1, 2014, and required all businesses and multi-family dwellings to implement recycling and organics programs.

Oro Loma opted out of Phase II for its L1 (Unincorporated) area, and participates in the MRO Phase II in its L2 and L3 areas;

As an alternative to the MRO Phase II, ACWMA mandated that the District provide three hours of technical assistance per year, per heavy organics generating business, in order to retain its Measure D disbursements; the District exceeded the requirements, and the Measure D disbursements continued.

MRO Update July 1, 2016 – L2 and L3

The L2 and L3 areas of the District have been operating under compliance schedule waivers or alternative schedules approved by Stopwaste for each area;

Effective July 1, 2016, all businesses in L2 and L3 must have recycling and organics programs in place and become subject to inspections and enforcement by Stopwaste.

Effective July 1, 2016, all multi-family dwellings with 5+ units in L2 and L3 must have recycling and organics programs in place and become subject to inspections and enforcement by Stopwaste.

MRO Update L1 (Unincorporated) Area

Opting back into the MRO benefits:

Continuation of Measure D disbursements;

L1 commercial and multi-family customers contacted multiple times to offer assistance; some could benefit from Stopwaste audits and enforcement action;

Same level of reporting required;

MRO Update L1 (Unincorporated) Area

Opting back into the MRO drawbacks:

Increased regulatory costs for local businesses – Stopwaste notices of violation and fines for non- compliance;

Green waste commercial service is not included in the franchise agreement beyond one 96-gal cart, so open market rates apply

Rate Change Explained

Oro Loma Sanitary District proposes to increase its Sewer Service Charges (SSC) to reflect changes in the estimated cost to collect, transport and treat wastewater from all users within the District’s service area. The cost estimate includes inflationary adjustments and a 50% increase in the replacement rate of worn-out sewer pipes, many of which are over 70 years old. The SSC appear on your property tax bill and are currently $206 per year for a single-family residence.

Oro Loma proposes to increase the current Sewer Service Charges effective July 1, 2016 and every July 1 for the following four years by 7.5% per year (rounded to the nearest dollar). For a single-family residence, the SSC would be $296 per year at the end of five years. For details, please see chart on the following page.

In 2015, Oro Loma performed a fiscal analysis and projection of costs for the next five years. The necessary increase in SSC was calculated using inflationary projections of 3% per year on the estimated cost to collect, transport and treat wastewater within the District. The proposed increase would also enable the District to accelerate the pace of repairing and replacing its 270 miles of underground pipes, many of which are over 70 years old.

How is the Sewer Service Charge increase calculated?

The District’s Board will consider the proposed increases at the time and place noted on the following page.

IMPORTANT FACT:The District’s current charges are 63% below the average in Alameda County. The charges are expected to remain the lowest in the county at the end of five years.

How do I Protest?

Submit a written protest. Protests against the sewer service charges increase must be submitted in writing (by mail or e-mail) and will be accepted until the end of the public hearing on May 17, 2016. A protest must identify the owner(s) and the property or properties for which the protest is entered. At the close of the public hearing, any written protests will be tallied by the District Secretary. If protests against the proposed increase in Sewer Service Charges are presented by a majority of owners of the parcels affected, the District cannot approve the proposed increase. If a majority protest is not received, each July 1 hereafter, up to and including July 1, 2020, the Sewer Service Charges will automatically increase by 7.5% (rounded to the nearest dollar), as described in this notice.

Oro Loma Sanitary District

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Jason Warner, General Manager Arlene Wong, Finance Manager DATE: January 25, 2016 SUBJECT: 5 YEAR SEWER SERVICE RATE STUDY – 2016-2021 Summary The District is currently in the fifth year of a five-year rate schedule, which established a Single Family Residential Sewer Rate in the final year of $206 per year, effective July 1, 2015. The District Board met on December 14, 2015 to discuss various rate scenarios and provide direction on what discretionary expenditures to include in an analysis for future rates. The largest discretionary expenses include planned capital projects, a proposed expansion of the line replacement program by 50%, accelerated payments of up to $5M pension liability, and the extent the District continues to use reserves to fund current expenses. Based upon policy direction from the Board, the Sewer Service Rate study is based upon the planned capital program, a 50% increase ($1M/year) to ongoing line replacement efforts, $2M towards pension liabilities, and a target June 30, 2021 reserve level near the minimum reserve level of $8.9M. The attached memorandum provides details on these issues as well as a cash flow analysis used to recommend a 7.5% annual sewer service rate increase tentatively scheduled to initiate on July 1, 2016 and continuing until July 1, 2021. Length of Programmed Increase

During the rate discussion, the Board weighed the cost of the required Proposition 218 public noticing heavily in its decision to establish a five-year rate schedule. The logic was to spread the fixed cost of a Proposition 218 Notice (approximately $60,000) across the maximum allowable number of years (5), as opposed to re-noticing multiple times. Five-Year Cash Flow Analysis The basis of the rate study is a five-year cash flow analysis. The cash flow analysis includes projected operating, non-operating, capital, and renewal and replacement expenditures. It also includes projected revenues from a variety of existing sources. Staff used the cash flow analysis to determine the ending cash balance scenarios. Assuming a 3% annual inflation factor, a 7.5% rate increase, planned Capital (CIP and R&R) Program, and a 50% increase in the current pace of line replacement, the ending cash balance will be $9.59M (from a beginning balance of $20.27M) A list of the assumptions used in the five-year analysis is included in Appendix A.

The Five-Year Cash Flow Model is shown in Appendix B (with an assumed 7.5% annual rate increase). A summary of the planned Capital Improvements and Renewal & Replacement Projects is included in Appendix C. Staff performed a sensitivity analysis showing the impact of various rate increases on the ending balance at the end of Year 5. At the low end, a 6.7% annual rate increase would be required if no additional pension liability payments are made, and we spend our reserve levels down from $20.27M to the minimum reserve level of $8.9M. At the upper end of the range, an 11.5% annual rate increase would be required if we maintain reserve levels at $16M (the former reserve level) and make $1M per year payments to eliminate the existing pension liability. A table showing the range of alternatives is shown below. Sensitivity Analysis: Impact of Pension Buydown & Sewer Rate Increase on Ending Cash Balance

Projected Ending Cash Balances at June 30, 2021 (Y5)

Review of Pension Liabilities General Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68 requires agencies to report their individual pension liabilities. Liabilities accrue for both existing staff and former employees. Due to the District’s 105 year history and staff cuts over the past 25 years, the District has a high ratio of retired employees to current staff count (1.05:1). It is also worth noting that the District implemented significant changes in the cost sharing formula and promised benefits in the labor contract initiated in June 2011. These steps were taken prior to complementary actions mandated by the Public Employees Pension Reform Act in 2013. The District's actions reduce the cost of providing pension for those employed since then by 62%. Recent changes at CalPERS allow agencies to pay down their identified liabilities – formally called Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL). As of June 30, 2013, the District’s UAL was $11.5M. In March of 2015, the District, in combination with Castro Valley Sanitary District, paid $6.3M toward the liability. Due to the beneficial timing of the payment and favorable investment results, the liability is projected at $4M for June 2016. Unpaid liabilities accrue interest at a rate of 7.5%. The District currently earns approximately 1% on its reserves. Given this differential, it makes sense to increase payments to CalPERS above the default 30-year amortization schedule. When accelerated payments are made, they are

credited and invested when received. Once invested, the amount is subject to market gains or losses and is not guaranteed to earn 7.5% annually. Based upon input from the December 14, 2015 meeting, the cash flow and rate recommendation are based upon making $1M payments in both the current year (Year 0) and Year 1 of the Cash Flow Projection. This alternative is shown in the fifth row of the sensitivity analysis presented on the prior page. Reserves The current Board approved reserve level is $8.9M. This amount was established based on prudent business needs, as opposed to a legal or other debt covenant. The amount is low compared to historic District reserve levels. One risk of the $8.9M level is that if a significant unforeseen expense arises, the District may be required to assume debt to pay for the expenses. Based on our planning to date, upgrades for nutrient treatment represent a $60-80M expense. These upgrades are projected in FY 2027-28 to FY 2032-33. This projection could become an immediate need if an algal bloom or other harmful algal toxin develops in the Bay. Another risk involves the cogeneration facility (cogen). There is currently a $6M planned cogen replacement scheduled for FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22. $4M of the $6M is planned for FY 2021-22, which is outside the Five-Year Cash Flow Analysis. If the system fails to meet emissions limits prior to FY 2020-21, the $4M replacement will be accelerated into the five-year horizon. In short, there are known and unknown risks that our $8.9M reserve level cannot accommodate. If a multi-million dollar risk materializes, the District may require a debt issuance to address it. The current Board has expressed reluctance to debt finance normal business expenses. Based upon Board direction, we will continue to spend down reserves to near the minimum reserve level. Assuming a 7.5% annual rate increase, the projected ending balance will be $9.59M. Expense Reductions A primary concern in every rate discussion is whether to focus on expense reduction or revenue increases. Since 2008, District operating expenses have been held flat – $17.1M (2008) vs. $16.9M (2015) despite inflation. Energy and chemical operating costs have been reduced by more than 50% over the same period. Staffing levels are at their lowest point in 25 years. Since FY 2006-07, the difference between the District’s rate and the county average has grown from $206 to $357 (see trend on following page). The trend highlights the District’s effectiveness in limiting rate increases compared to the industry. In FY 2008-09, service rates were lowered by $15 ($193 to $178 per year). Given the rate decrease, coupled with the District’s expense controls during a period when average costs in the County have risen significantly above inflation, the Board can be confident that it has provided sufficient focus on cost controls. The Five-Year Cash Flow Model assumes that costs will begin rising with inflation, at a 3.0% annual pace. Despite recent national inflation trends at or below 2%, the 3.0% value was used

Page 62: BOARD MEETING AGENDA Tuesday, April 19, 2016 3:00 p.m. · Tuesday, April 19, 2016 . 3:00 p.m. Oro Loma Sanitary District Boardroom . 2655 Grant Avenue . San Lorenzo, CA 94580 . In

because it precisely matches the District’s 10-Year inflation average for the goods, services, and labor expenses it incurs. The District has held expenses flat over the past 8 years primarily by reducing staffing levels and better managing its power and chemical expenses. These actions mask underlying inflation trends that have averaged 3.0% on District expenses. Recommendation

The District faces several significant challenges. The backlog of required line replacements has been growing faster than our pace of ongoing renewal and now stands at 22 miles of pipe. The District has $4M in pension liabilities which accrue at a rate of 7.5%, and existing rates and projected expenses require the use of reserves to fund the business. To address these challenges, a rate increase above projected inflation is required. Balancing the needs of the District, policy direction from the Board, and the Board’s historical desire to minimize rate impacts on the community, a 7.5% annual rate increase is recommended for the next five years.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors FROM: Jason Warner, General Manager Arlene Wong, Finance Manager DATE: January 25, 2016 SUBJECT: ASSUMPTIONS FOR 5-YEAR CASH FLOW PROJECTIONS & RATE

INCREASE ANALYSIS FOR FY 2015-16 (Year 0) to FY 2020-21 (Year 5)

• The District is formulating a rate increase proposal for the 5-year period beginning July 1, 2016. Annual sewer rate increases will be applied to the following customer categories - residential (billed through Alameda Co.) and commercial (billed through EBMUD). Throughout the proposal and the related analysis, the 5 years will be referred to as follows:

Year 1 - FY 2016-17 Year 2 - FY 2017-18 Year 3 - FY 2018-19 Year 4 - FY 2019-20 Year 5 - FY 2020-21

• As a subset of the District's Sewer Service Revenues, Significant Industrial Users (SIUs) are industrial customers that generate substantial chemical loadings (such as suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand) into their wastewater discharge, These customers are usually businesses engaged in large-scale manufacturing, and their discharge typically exceeds certain limits for them to be classified as SIUs. In addition to the strengths of chemical loadings, they are billed based on water consumption volume. Due to the impact of a prolonged drought, and efforts within the community to conserve water, revenues from SIUs in Year 1 are assumed to remain constant despite an increase in the per unit charge. A 2% annual increase in revenues is assumed in Year 2 through Year 5.

• Agency Treatment Charges on Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSD) – The District provides sewer treatment to CVSD customers and receives reimbursements based on actual flow. Annual revenue growth is assumed at 3%. Since CVSD owns 25% of the District's treatment plant, it also participates in the costs of Renewal & Replacement (R&R) projects related to the treatment plant and administration, which are projected based on the 5-year R&R Plan.

• Agency Treatment Charges on City of San Leandro and City of Hayward – The District provides sewer treatment to certain areas within the Cities of San Leandro and Hayward due to proximity of these customers to the District's facilities. The Cities collect sewer fees from these customers, and remit the revenues to the District (75% from San Leandro, 90% from Hayward). Revenue growth for this category is assumed at 3% annually.

• Solid Waste Contract Fees – The District contracts with Waste Management (WM) to provide garbage services to its customers and receives 6% of its gross revenues as Contract Fees. Based on the contract, garbage rates increase annually in September by a combination of 2 factors - the CPI-U index and the weighted average of the Teamster Union Local 70 labor cost, benefits and pensions. A 3% annual garbage rate increase per year is assumed.

• Investment income is calculated by applying 0.6% to the ending cash balance of prior year.

• A 3% general inflation rate is assumed for labor, supplies and operating needs.

• A 50% increase in the current pace of sewer line replacements.

• Certain items are held constant due to immateriality.

• CVSD's contribution is 19% of total Unfunded Actuarial Liability (UAL) pension funding.

• Savings from UAL funding are assumed to be 7.5% cumulative yearly. F:\FINANCE\F&I\2016 Rate Study Memo Packet\2016 Rate Increase Discussion Assumptions-Appendix A.doc
