 $4.5 million program approved July 2013  Major projects include:

  • Annual Replacement of Valves and Water Mains
  • Repair and painting of Washington and Amador Tanks
  • Elevated tank repair, OSHA/Seismic upgrade
  • Install SCADA monitoring system
  • Expand pipe capacity from prison to elevated tank
  • Install remote meter reading system
  • Extend transmission loop (Railroad to Northcrest)

 Current cash flow does not support projects

slide-25
SLIDE 25

 Water Enterprise Fund administers system  $14 million capital assets are 42% depreciated  $7 million State loan at 0% interest, ½ paid  System has incurred annual deficits of

$300,000-$500,000/year for several years

 June 2013 operating reserve $295,000  Without action, reserves will be depleted in

current 2013-14 fiscal year

 2013-14 adopted budget deficit $(417,000)  2013-14 current projection $(649,000)  Critical Capital Projects deferred until cash

flow is restored

 Without action, unrestricted cash expected to

be depleted in January

 Without action, state loan will likely default in

January

 Any delays will require a larger rate increase

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Financial Plan Objectives:

 Stabilize cash flow  Build 90-day operating reserve (future years)  Restore coverage for existing debt  Set stage for new debt financing  Provide cash flow for CIP program  Begin contributing to a CIP replacement

reserve (future years)

slide-29
SLIDE 29

 City engaged consultant to develop 5-Year Plan  A “Rate Study” is used to break down Financial

Plan revenue requirements into customer rates

 Five-year rates have been proposed to build

long-term financial stability into system

 Five-year rates best position system as a good

credit risk to qualify for new debt financing

 Long-term capital financing smoothes customer

rate impact

 5-Year Plan has been completed and is ready for

City Council consideration

slide-30
SLIDE 30

 City contracted with Willdan Financial Services  Consultant is a recognized expert in field  City staff teamed closely with consultant in

preparing and reviewing data, estimates, and projections

 Company representatives are here to present

their report and proposed rate structure

Presentation to the City of Crescent City | Water Rate Study | 4

Purpose of the Rate Study

  • Evaluate sufficiency of the existing water

revenue stream to:

– Provide funding for future operating / capital expenses – Maintain / build minimum reserve levels – Meet legal obligations associated with outstanding debt

  • Develop rates and charges which will generate

sufficient revenue / meet cost of service standards (Prop 218)

Presentation to the City of Crescent City | Water Rate Study | 10

Key Assumptions

  • No Growth in customer base
  • Fund Balance Reserves

– Build a 90-day Operating Reserve – Maintain Debt Service Reserve @ $350,000 – Build a Capital Reserve of $450,000 (~10% of CIP)

  • New debt to fund portion of CIP
  • Inflationary (3%) cost escalation factor
  • Pelican Bay Prison water rate updated per terms of contract

– Increased from $0.758 per CCF to $2.07 per CCF

  • Debt service coverage:

– Build to at least 1.00x for existing water loan – Maintain 1.25x for new debt
