Wholesale food warehouses are not adequately regulated by the State of California, and
recent inspections of some of these food warehouses by the County of San Diego have
revealed rodent infestations, mishandling of recalled food, and other conditions that could
lead to food-borne illness. Pursuant to state and local law, the County of San Diego is the
primary regulator of persons handling and storing food within the City. To address the
concern mentioned above, the County wishes to institute a wholesale food warehouse
permit and inspection program with consistent rules and regulations throughout the
region. To do so, the County needs the City's authorization to conduct such a program
within City boundaries and requests that the City adopt (by reference) the County's
Wholesale Food Warehouse Ordinance. (Director of Planning and Building)

exceed Fiscal Year 2004 revenues by $5.5 million and the deficit will continue to grow in

IV. CEQA FINDING REGARDING PROJECT WITHIN SCOPE OF PR/OR FEIR
The City Council hereby finds that: (1) there were no substantial Changes in thc Project fi.om
FEIR 01-02, which would require revisions of said report; (2) no substantial changes have
occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is 'undertaken since
certification of FEIR 01-02; (3) and no new information of substantial importance to the
Project has become available since the issuance and approval of FEIR 01-02; and that,
therefore, no new effects could occur or no new mitigation measures will be required in
addition to those already in existence and made a condition for Project implementation.
Therefore, the City Council approves the Project as an activity that is within the scope of the
project covered by FEIR 01-02 [Guideline 15168(c)(2)and 15162(a)].
V. INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT OF CITY COUNCIL

VIII. SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA (SPA) PLAN FINDINGS
The proposed Project is consistent with the Otay Ranch Village 11 Sectional Planning Area
Plan for the following reasons:
A. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN IS 1N CONFORMITY
WITH THE GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE P-C ZONE, ANY
ADOPTED SPECI]3'IC PLANS, AND THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA GENERAL
PLAN AND ITS SEVERAL ELEMENTS.
The request to amend the Otay Ranch Village 11 SPA Plan to add language
(footnotes) to the PC District Regulations to allow reduced setbacks for "z-lot"
single-family residential lot configurations, reflects the land uses, circulation system,
open space and recreational uses, and public facility uses consistent with the Otay
Ranch General Development Plan and Chula Vista General Plan.
B. THE PROPOSED SETIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD PROMOTE
THE ORDERLY, SEQUENTIALIZED DEVELOPMENT OF THE INVOLVED
SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA.
The Otay Ranch Village 11 SPA Plan amendment contains provisions and
requirements to ensure the orderly, phased development of the project. The
amendment does not modify any phased development of the project and must comply
with all development phase thresholds identified in the Otay Ranch Village 11 SPA
Plan.
C. THE PROPOSED SECTIONAL PLANNING AREA PLAN WOULD NOT
ADVERSELY AFFECT ADJACENT LAND USE, RESIDENTIAL ENJOYMENT,
CIRCULATION OR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY.
The land uses within Otay Ranch are designed to promote pedestrian-oriented
neighborhoods. The amendment does not modify any surrounding land uses and is
consistent with the residential land use policies as required by the General Plan and
Otay Ranch General Development Plan. A comprehensive street network serves the
project and provides for access to off-site adjacent properties. The proposed plan
will be required to implement all mitigation measures specified in the Otay Ranch
GDP Amendment/Village 11 Sectional Planning Area Plan, FEIR 01-02. These
mitigation measures will minimize or reduce any identified impacts to land use,
circulation and environmental quality.

iii. The Otay Lakes Road Landscaping component consists of the landscaping
improvements between Hunte Parkway and Lake Crest Drive.
4) The cost estimates in Exhibit A of the A/F/A have been revised due to more recent and

by the City. Additionally, the terms and conditions upon which each series of the Bonds shall be
issued and sold, the method of sale of each series of the Bonds and the pricing thereof shall be
determined solely by the City and shall conform to the Goals and Policies and this Agreement.

WHEREAS, the CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF CHULA VISTA,
CALIFORNIA, pursuant to the provisions of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act
of 1982, has undertaken proceedings to form and has formed a community facilities
district for the purpose of financing the acquisition of certain works of improvement,
together with appurtenances, such special assessment district known and designated as
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT NO. 06I (Eastlake - Woods, Vistas and Land
Swap) (the "Community Facilities District"); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council did previously approve the form of an
Acquisition/Financing Agreement (the "Acquisition/Financing Agreement") by and
between the City of Chula Vista and The Eastlake Company, LLC, (the "Developer") to
establish the terms and conditions upon which the Improvements (as defined in the
Amended AcquisitiorffFinancing Agreement') would be acquired by the City; and
WHEREAS, the Acquisition/Financing Agreement provides that the Developer
would be entitled to the payment of the Base Increment for an Improvement, i.e., an
amount not to exceed 75% of the Purchase Price as defined in the Acquisition/Financing
Agreement for such Improvement upon the substantial completion of construction of
such Improvement including all components of such Improvement; and
WHEREAS, the Acquisition/Financing Agreement provides that landscaping
associated with a roadway Improvement is a component of such an Improvement; and
WHEREAS, such landscaping is frequently completed substantially after the
completion of all other components of a roadway Improvement resulting in substantial
delays in the payment of the Base Increment for such roadway Improvements;
WHEREAS, the Eastlake Parkway roadway improvements and the Eastlake
Parkway landscaping were included on the initial list of improvements identified by the
City Council as part of the improvements to be financed by the Community Facilities
District, however, such improvements were inadvertently omitted from Exhibit A to the
Acquisition Agreement which contains a list of the Improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Developer has requested that the Acquisition/Financing
Agreement be amended to establish such landscaping associated with roadway
Improvements as separate Improvements to enable the payment of the Base Increment of
the roadway Improvements closer in time to the actual completion of the construction of
such Improvements;
WHEREAS, for such purpose and to otherwise clarify the description of and cost
estimate for the Improvements, the City and the Developer desire to amend the
Acquisition/Financing Agreement by entering into the First Amendment to the
Acquisition/Financing Agreement, the form of which has been presented to the City
Council (the "First Amendment").
WHEREAS, the City is willing to agree to such an amendment of the Acquisition
Agreement to avoid a financial hardship to the Developer by unnecessarily delaying the
payment of the Purchase Price for roadway Improvements and to remedy the inadvertent
omission of the Eastlake Parkway roadway improvements and the Eastlake Parkway from
the list of Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are all true and correct.
SECTION 2. The form of First Amendment to the Acquisition/Financing Agreement,
herewith submitted, is approved substantially in the form submitted. The Mayor is hereby
authorized to execute the final form of such agreement on behalf of the City. The City

Chula Vista, a charter city duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and
the laws of the State of California (the "City"), acting for and on behalf of itself and
Community Facilities District No. 061 (EastLake - Woods, Vistas and Land Swap) (the
"Community Facilities District"), and The EastLake Company, LLC, a California limited
liability company (the "Developer") is entered into by the parties hereto to amend that

provided for herein or the context of the use of any such capitalized term requires
otherwise.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the City and the Developer entered into the Acquisition Agreement
to, among other things, establish the terms and conditions pursuant to which the City
would acquire certain Improvements constructed by the Developer from proceeds of
bonds issued by the Community Facilities District for such purpose;
WHEREAS, the Acquisition Agreement provides that the Developer would be
entitled to the payment of the Base Increment for an Improvement upon the substantial
completion of construction of such Improvement including all components of such
Improvement; and
WHEREAS, the Acquisition Agreement provides that landscaping associated
with a roadway Improvement is a component of such an Improvement; and
WHEREAS, such landscaping is frequently completed substantially after the
completion of all other components of a roadway Improvement resulting in substantial
delays in the payment of the Base Increment for such roadway Improvements;
WHEREAS, the EastLake Parkway roadway improvements and the EastLake
Parkway landscaping were included on the initial list of improvements identified by the
City Council as part of the improvements to be financed by the Community Facilities
District, however, such improvements were inadvertently omitted from Exhibit A to the

landscaping to the Improvements authorized to be financed by the Community Facilities
District; and

Agreement which the Developer must use to requisition the payment of the Purchase
Price for any improvement state that the Developer must submit both lien releases fxom
contractors and letters from such contractors specifying that such contractor has been

adding indirectly to the cost of the improvement; and
WHEREAS, the City is willing to agree to such an amendment of the Acquisition
Agreement to avoid a financial hardship to the Developer by mmecessarily delaying the
payment of the Purchase Price for roadway Improvements and to remedy the inadvertent
omission of the EastLake Parkway roadway improvements and the EastLake Parkway

sUBMITTED BY: Director of Engineering/J_
REVIEWED BY: City Manage ,¥, ~[ (4/5tbs Vote: Yes No X )
BACKGROUND:
The alignment of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor, impacts existing utility easements
currently held by the City of San Diego and San Diego Gas 8,: Electric Company (SDG&E).In
order to facilitate the construction, operation and maintenance of the Salt Creek Sewer, the City
is required to enter into joint use agreements with these two agencies. Council action is required
to approve these agreements and to authorize the Mayor to execute the agreements on behalf of
the City.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve:
1. Resolution approving an agreement (Exhibit 1) between the City of Chula Vista and the
City of San Diego for the joint use of a City of San Diego easement required to facilitate
the construction, maintenance and operation of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor
and authorizing the Mayor to execute the agreement on behalf of the City.
2. Resolution approving an agreement (Exhibit 2) between the City of Chula Vista and San
Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) Company for the joint use of an SDG&E easement

Page 2, Item:
Meeting Date: 06/03/2003
DISCUSSION:
The Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor is a 13.5-mile trunk sewer line that is being built to
serve some of the developments in the eastern territories and a portion of the developed portion
of the City within the Main Street Basin. The trunk sewer varies in size from 15 to 48 inches in
diameter, and is designated by nine individual segments (commonly referred to as Reaches 1
through 9).
On June 4, 2002, City Council, by Resolution No. 2002-189, adopted Policy Option No. 3 as the
Project Alignment for the construction of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor. This
alignment generally begins just west of the Upper Otay Reservoir, then proceeds in a southerly
direction parallel to Salt Creek and the Otay Valley River, then turns westerly along Otay Valley
Road, continuing under 1-805 Freeway along Main Street to Industrial Blvd., after which it goes
under I-5 Freeway and terminates at a junction structure that ties it to the City of San Diego's
Metro Sewer Interceptor just west of Interstate 5 Freeway (see Exhibit No. 3).
City of San Dieeo Easement
A portion of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer alignment runs parallel to the City of San Diego's
South San Diego Pipeline No. 2 (see attached Exhibit No. 2). The City of San Diego's water
pipeline is located within a 100' water easement that was previously granted to the City of San
Diego by the Stephen & Mary Birch Foundation.
Based on the adopted alignment, the Salt Creek Interceptor will be located within a 20' wide strip
of the existing 100' easement. The project has been designed and located such that it is
compatible with the existing water line along the path of the alignment. This was achieved
through locating the sewer line with a minimum 1 O-foot horizontal separation from the water
line, as required by the California Department of Health. The pipe location also meets vertical
separation requirements.
In addition, Staff worked with the City of San Diego to ensure that Salt Creek Sewer meets the
City of San Diego's criteria and construction specifications, which are consistent with the
Department of Health Services requirements, in order to reach an agreemem with the City of San
Diego for compatible use. The proposed Joint Use Agreement is the result of that effort. Based
on the discussions and coordination effort between staff in both agencies, there is concurrence
that, the City of Chula Vista's project as designed, is compatible with the existing City of San
Diego's Water pipelines within the alignment corridor. The Joint Use Agreement, the location of
the existing utility easement, and the limits of the proposed sewer easement are shown in the
attached Exhibit No 1.
Page 3, Item: !
Meeting Date: 06/03/2003
San Dieeo Gas and Electric (SDG&E) Easement
The Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor twice crosses an existing utility easement that was
previously granted to San Diego Gas & Electric Company by Otay Land Company. The City
needs to enter into a Joint Use Agreement with SDG&E to facilitate the construction,
maintenance and operation of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer within the SDG&E easement
condor. The location of the existing utility easement and the limits of the sewer easement are
delineated in the attached Exhibit No. 2.
SUMMARY:
These two Joint Use Agreements will define the terms under which all parties, shall construct,
operate, and maintain their respective facilities.
Environmental Status
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that there is no possibility
that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
FISCAL IMPACT
The approval of these agreements will not result in any expenditure of project funds. However,
upon completion of the project, the pipeline and associated facilities will require routine
maintenance, which will be funded utilizing funds from the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund.
EXHIBITS:
I. Joint Use Agreement between the City Of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego and the exhibits
showing the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer alignment within the City of San Diego's easement.
2. Joint Use Agreement between the City Of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego and the exhibits
showing the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Alignment within the San Diego Gas and Electric's easement,
3. Exhibit showing the alignment of the Salt Creek Gravity Sewer Interceptor.

maintained over, upon and across that portion of SDG&E's aforementioned easement and right-
of-way lying within the limits of the proposed public sewer as shown on said Exhibit "B"
hereinafter referred to as area subject to the following:
(a) In the event that the future use or alteration of said area by the CITY for the sewer
or public improvements incidental thereto shall at any time or times necessitate a
rearrangement, relocation or reconstruction of any of SDG&E's facilities or the

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item ~ , Page 1
Meeting Date 6/3/03
ITEM TITLE: Resolution declaring the City's intention to amend the Master Fee
Schedule by updating the existing sewer rate structure; and adopting the
"Wastewater User and Rate Restructuring Study"; and setting a public hearing
for July 22, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. to consider these issues.
SUBMITTED BY: Director of Engineeringff~
REVIEWED BY: City Manager/~'
,~e 94 4/5tbs Vote: (Yes: _ No: X. )
BACKGROUND:
On June 8, 1999, City Council approved a three-year Sewer Service Charge rate plan for fiscal years
2000-2002 and 6% rate increases were implemented in each of those years. Subsequently,
expenditures for both the maintenance and operation of the city's wastewater collection system, and
for wastewatcr conveyance and treatment have continued to escalate from $15.7 million in fiscal year
2000 to an estimated $23.6 million in fiscal year 2003. At thc current sewer rate level, necessary
expenditures will exceed fiscal year 2004 revenues by $5.5 million and the deficit will continue to
grow in subsequent years if no action is taken, as the city continues to build, maintain and operate the
local and regional facilities necessary to support a growing population.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council adopt a resolution declaring the City's intention to amend the Master Fee Schedule
by updating the existing sewer rate structure; and adopting the "Wastewater User and Rate
Restructuring Study"; and setting a public hearing for July 22, 2003 at 6:00 p.m. to consider these
issues,
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
In 1961, thc City of Chula Vista entered into an agreement with the City of San Diego that allows all
of the wastewater flows generated by the city to be sent to San Diego's Point Loma Treatment Plant
for treatment. The following year, City Council established a monthly Sewer Service Charge to be
paid by every property owner or occupant of any parcel of real property in the City of Chula Vista
that is connected to the sewer system.
To ensure that the cost of sewer service is distributed fairly and equitably among thc City's residents,
a comprehensive sewer pricing structure review and a long-range financial plan were prepared as part
of the attached study, "Wastewater User andRate Restructuring Study". If this study's
Item p , Page 2
Meeting Date 6/3/03
recommendations are adopted, the average single-family residence will pay a lower sewer service
charge next year. The current and proposed charges are summarized below.
Single Family Monthly Rate Comparison
Current Proposed
Consumption #of Users Charge Chargein FY04 Difference
Low 2,148 $22.37 $7.99 - $14.38
2,145 $22.37 $9.89 -$12.48
2,340 $22.37 $11,78 -$10.59
2,694 $22.37 $13.68 -$8.69
2,913 $22.37 $15.58 -$6,79
3~033 $22137 $17.47 i-$4.90 i Average
2,839 $22.37 $19.37 -$3.00
2~488 $22i37 $2ii26 ~$1~11 i Median
2,304 $22.37 $23.16 $0.79
2,076 $22.37 $25.06 $2.69
1,682 $22.37 $26.95 $4.58
1,471 $22.37 $28.85 $6,48
1,251 $22.37 $30.74 $8.37
1,135 $22.37 $32.64 $10.27
947 $22.37 $34.54 $12.17
High 6,220 $22.37 $34.54 $12.17
While a significant number of single-family residents will have a lower sewer service charge based
on their consumption, a portion of this user class will also see their overall sewer service charge go
up. Under the proposed structure, single family will generate 60% of the revenue required to meet
overall sewer costs, which is commensurate with the amount of wastewater they generate.
Multi-family, commercial and industrial, will generate the remaining 40% of revenue. These will
continue to be assessed based on their consumption levels, but at slightly increased rate levels. The
basis for restructuring and calculating the charges are detailed in the following sections of this report.
Item ~ , Page 3
Meeting Date: 6/3/03
CURRENT RATE STRUCTURE AND RATES
Under the current rate structure, the method of collecting the Sewer Service Charge from the city's
41,218 accounts varies depending on user location within thc City:
Geographic Billing Billing Method Users
Water Company Location Frequency
Pre-Annexation
Sweetwater Authority Area Bi-Monthly Finance Dept 14,742
Sweetwater Authority Montgomery Area Annually Tax Roll 3,428
Cai-American Montgomery Area Annually Tax Roll 277
Otay Water District Primarily East of I~
805 Monthly Otay Water District 22,771
Total Accounts 41,218
Revenue derived from the Sewer Service Charge is deposited into the Sewer Service Revenue Fund
and is primarily used for:
· Maintenance and operation of the city's wastewater collection system (i.e., trunk sewer
lines, sewer mains and laterals, access holes, pump stations);
· The annual City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater District (Metro) Sewer Capacity
charge; and
· The city's portion of Metro's maintenance and operation costs, debt service, capital costs,
and other incidental treatment and conveyance costs.
SEWER REPLACEMENT FEES AND STORM DRAIN FEES
In addition to the uses listed above, the Sewer Service Charge also serves as a "pass through" vehicle
for the collection of approximately $1 million in Sewer Replacement Fees and Storm Drain Fees,
which are deposited into their respective funds and neither of which will be impacted by the proposed
rate changes to the Sewer Service Charge.
Because the City of San Diego (our treatment authority) has received Clean Water Grant funding in
the past, certain state and federal regulations apply to Chula Vista's rate program. Chula Vista is
required, for example, to set user charges at a sufficient level to offset system operation and
maintenance costs. In addition, costs must be allocated to user classes fairly and equitably.

Single-family residences make up 91% of the customer base and generate 63% of the flow. Single-
family residential users are currently subject to aflat monthly rate of $22.37. A reduced flat monthly
rate of $15.83 is available to low-income users, who meet the eligibility requirements as defined in
the Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) "Very Low Income Limits for San Diego County"
which is published annually. Under the current rate structure, single-family households are charged
the flat fee irrespective of the amount of water consumed or sent to the wastewater collection system.
Over the years, however, this large class of residents has persistently requested that the City explore
the feasibility of a consumption-based rate structure that would allow them to see the benefits of their
conservation efforts on the sewer bill.
Commercial and industrial users and such institutional users as hospitals, nursing homes and schools,
comprise 4% of the customer base and multi-family residential users make up an additional 5%.
These two user classes currently generate 21% and 16% of the flow, respectively. Unlike single-
family residential users, they pay a variable charge according to two criteria - water consumption
(quantity) and strength (quality) of the wastewater they generate.
The current average monthly usage charge for multi-family property occupants who are metered
directly is set so as not to exceed the flat single family rate of $22.37 per month. Among institutional
users, school districts apply for and receive variances under which the city applies parameters such as
the number of school days, the number of occupants, etc., to determine the most appropriate and
equitable rate.
The City's Sewer Service Charge has been revised a number of times over the years to cover
increased costs of wastewater treatment and system maifftenance. The most recent rate increase
adopted by City Council took effect July 2001. No further rate increases have been implemented
since that time. However, the city's treatment and system maintenance costs have continued to rise
commensurate with population growth and the inevitable increases in service demand.
Fiscal Year Metro Sewage Treatment Charges %
(millions) Increase
2001 $12.4
2002 $14.1 14%
2003 $15.6 11%
2004 $18.4 18%
In addition, the current rate structure has been in place since the establishment of the original fee,
with only a single 1991 update. The city has maintained the current structure for a number of reasons
including ease of billing, stability of revenue, and difficulties in creating a method to capture
individual sewer water usage, and the complexity of facilitating a transition to a new rate structure.

Meeting Date 6/3/03
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) is the governing body, which has provided and
continues, to provide the guidelines for ensuring ongoing compliance with state, federal and other
regulations relative to Chula Vista's rate structure. The current rate structure allocates costs to
ratepayers based on a single strength component - suspended solids (SS). Recently, however, in
conformance with SW'RCB guidelines, San Diego Metro revised the cost allocation to all
participating agencies including the City of Chula Vista, to be based on both SS and a second
strength component - biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Therefore, for the City to conform to
SWRCB guidelines, the city's existing rate structure is now subject to revision to include BOD as a
strength component. In addition, in response to the numerous requests of residents, the rate structure
was examined to determine the feasibility of a consumption-based rate rather than a flat rate for
single-family residential customers.
Proposed Changes
In March 2002, the city retained a consultant, PBS&J, to prepare a comprehensive rate restructuring
study for the City of Chula Vista. The primary purpose of the Wastewater User and Rate
Restructuring Study (attached) was to develop a rate structure, which will enable the City to raise
adequate revenues to:
· Properly operate and maintain the Chula Vista sewerage system;
· Meet current and future obligations to the City of San Diego for use of the Metro System; and
· Provide a consumption-based rate structure as requested by single-family residents.
In addition, the update will facilitate compliance with SWRCB guidelines that call for an enhanced
rate structure.
Long Range Financinff Plan
A long-range financing plan was developed as a principal component of the rate study. The financing
plan evaluates the Sewer Service Revenue Fund's balance of total annual expenditures to revenues in
order to determine the revenue requirement of the fund. The revenue requirement serves as the basis
for calculating the new Sewer Service Charge and to determine what additional monies will be
required to meet expenditures. The long-range plan shows that for fiscal year 2004, expenditures are
projected to total $27.2 million, of which $19.4 million (71%) will be spent to meet the City's Metro
obligation for wastewatcr treatment, capital projects, maintenance and operation of the sewerage
system, and debt financing. The city expects to spend an additional $7.4 million (27%) for
maintenance and operation of the city's local collection system. The balance of the planned
expenditures (2%) is allocated for supplies and services.
Item ~ , Page 6
Meeting Date 6/3/03
The amount of revenue generated by the City's Sewer Service Charge should be sufficient to cover
the costs detailed above. Historically, however, consumer charges alone have been insufficient to
meet program costs. At the current rate level, a shortfall of approximately $4.4 million in revenues is
projected for fiscal year 2004, based on the study. This shortfall is primarily due to a $2.8 million
increase in the City of Sun Diego's Metro treatment costs, from $15.6 million in fiscal year 2003 to
$18.4 million in fiscal year 2004. To partially offset the $4.4 million shortfall and to help ensure
pacing with future Metro sewer charge increases, the consultant's study recommends a schedule of
annual maximum increases of 9% in overall revenues over the next four years. City staff has
thoroughly reviewed the study and its four-year plan und concur with its findings and
recommendations.
The recommended maximum 9% annual revenue adjustment includes two major components:
· An increase to the Sewer Service Charge that consumers pay directly (as detailed in Appendix
B of the study), and
· A supplemental amount to be transferred in from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund to
balance anticipated expenditures with the requisite revenues.
Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund Transfers
Issues concerning the use of Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Funds will be discussed first. The Trunk
Sewer Capital Reserve, which was established in 1985, is funded through the collection of fees for
new connections to the City's sewer collection system. The $3,000 Sewerage Facility Participation
fee is a one-time "buy in" fee that allows new customers to connect to the collection system, that
existing users have been funding since the City first entered into the agreement with Metro and
acquired capacity rights. Revenue from this fee has averaged $6 million annually.
The trunsfer of funds from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund to the Sewer Service Revenue
Fund is consistent with provisions of the Municipal Code that allow funds to be used for the
construction or enlargement of sewer facilities to enhance or increase capacity. With the demands of
population growth, sewer capacity requirements continually increase and are being addressed by the
City of Sun Diego's ongoing expansion of the Metro system. To finance these new capital facilities,
all system participunts, including Chula Vista, incur a portion of the debt service, which is included
annually in Chula Vista's payment to San Diego Metro:
Fiscal Year 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007
Chula Vista's estimated Metro payment $15.6 $18.4 $19.0 $20.4 $21.0
Capital-related debt service portion $7.3 $8.3 $8.5 $9.3 $9.8
Planned transfers from Trunk Sewer Fund $4.6 $6.6 $5.9 $5.5 $4.0
Item ~ ,Page7
Meeting Date 6/3/03
It is therefore appropriate and justifiable to transfer funds from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve fund
to pay for these capital expenditures. Moreover, availability of these funds will provide a level of
stability in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund through the coming years as proposed changes to the
rate structure take effect.
By ingluding the proposed transfers as part of an annual maximum 9% planned revenue increase, the
City will meet all of the fiscal criteria listed in the long-range plan, while maintaining a 45-day
operating reserve of 12.5% in the Sewer Service Revenue Fund. Eventually, the long-range plan
reduces by 40% the amount of the fund transfer now required from the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve
Fund.
Finally, it is important to note that the study evaluated the City's future ability to acquire additional
capacity bas. ed on the available fund balance in the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve Fund and it was
determined that the proposed transfers would not compromise the fund.
Sewer ~ervice Charge Increase
The recommended maximum 9% annual revenue requirement also includes a proposed increase to
the Sewer Service Charge that consumers pay directly. The proposed rate increase is an inextricable
part of the proposed structural refinements to the rate and will be discussed together with it.
On behalf of residents, the City required that the single-family rate-restructuring request be one of the
primary components of the study. As a result, a major recommendation of the study is the revision of
the City's current rate structure for single-family residential consumers from a flat fee structure to a
two-part structure:
· A commodity charge that varies based on amount of water used
· Afixed service charge for basic service provision
To enable the City to implement the proposed changes and still retain a degree of stability in revenue
generation, an "individualized flat rate" is recommended for single-family residents. As detailed in
Table 2, this commodity charge would be partially based on a fixed rate per unit 9f water used, but
would be allowed to vary according to each customer's average winter water consumption. Winter
water usage is an industry standard for the implementation of this type of rate structure since it
generally reflects the lowest amount of water consumption during the year. Readings are taken from
November through April when most customers tum off sprinklers and irrigation water usage is at a
minimum, reflecting mostly domestic water usage. The average winter water consumption is then
used to calculate the commodity charge, which is annualized over the entire year for each individual
residential customer. All other users will continue to be charged a variable rate based on amount of
water usage and strength of flow, as described previously.
Item ~ , Page 8
Meeting Date 6/3/03
The second component of the Sewer Service Charge - afixed service 'charge - would apply to all
users including residential, commercial & industrial, and institutional users. This charge will allow
the City to recover a portion of the fixed costs of service provision that the City incurs irrespective of
the amount of flow that goes through the system (e.g., billing and administrative costs, certain
portions of the maintenance costs and debt service). The fixed service charge will be based on meter
size which ranges widely both in size and the resulting charge. It should be clarified that this is not
an additional charge if compared to the existing rate structure; however it is a refinement, which
breaks out a portion of the rate in a manner that allows the City to cover the fixed portion of its costs.
It is estimated that the fixed service charge will generate 17% of the annual revenue requirement and
is approximately equivalent to rates adopted by other agencies in Southern California with similar
rate structures.
Based on this new rate structure, while a significant number of single-family residents will have a
lower sewer service charge based on their consumption, a portion of this user class will also see their
overall sewer service charge go up. However, the average user in this user class will see a net
reduction in their sewer bill based on this new structure. Moreover, the proposed average rate for
City of Chula Vista consumers will remain favorable when compared to the average rates for other
cities in San Diego County.
City Average Rate
Carlsbad $13.00
National City $16.08
Escondido $23.00
Poway $28.38
La Mesa $28.83
Oceanside $31.09
San Diego $43.79
FISCAL IMPACT: Council approval of the proposed sewer rate increase and adoption of the
proposed rate structure will ensure that the City recovers sufficient revenues to meet projected sewer-
related expenditures for fiscal years 2004 through 2007, including reimbursements to the General
Fund ranging from $7.4 million in fiscal year 2004 to $8.6 million in fiscal year 2007 for critical City
staff support services for the maintenance and operation of the City's sewer collection and treatment
system.

Executive Summary
1.0 Executive Summary
To ensure that the cost of sewer service is distributed fairly and equitably among the
City's residents, we have prepared a sewer pricing structure review and a long-range
financial plan. As set forth more fully below, if this study's recommendations are
adopted, average and median-single family residences will pay lower sewer service rates.
Few things are more important in our country than ensuring that wastewater is properly
treated and returned to the environment. We often take for granted the thousands of
people who are employed daily in addressing this country's wastewater needs. From the
Utility Managers who are responsible for making sure that proper wastewater services are
provided to residents, businesses, and industries; to governing bodies who must ensure
that customer interests are understood and that utilities properly address public concerns;
to consultants who assist utilities in addressing financial, economic, engineering, and
other professional requirements, a broad spectrum of people play a part in ensuring that
appropriate wastewater services are provided to the public.
A major challenge confronting the wastewater ihdustry is acquiring adequate funds to
finance and operate capital equipment and facilities, and implementing appropriate
pricing structures to ensure the self-sufficiency of the utility. Long range planning is
important because it is necessary to make sure that appropriate facilities will be
constructed to address environmental regulations and meet the service needs of
customers. The financing vehicle that is used by the utility and the timing of the financing
are crucial in ensuring that each generation of wastewater customers is appropriately
paying for facilities that they need, and not inappropriately financing facilities for other
generations of customers. It is a major goal of an effective financial plan to "match"
economic impact on customers with benefits received by these customers.
The financial requirements related to operations costs and capital facilities are identified
· in this plan by year, and appropriate sources to finance these costs have been developed.
During this development of appropriate sources of financing, economic impacts on utility
customers were carefully identified and considered.
In addition, the City requested a review of their current sewer service charge structures
and billing formulas to ensure that Chula Vista will continue to maintain an effective
pricing structure. This review was two-fold. The City's current rate structure and
formulas were reviewed based on changes in industry standards from ChQla Vista's last
rate study in 1991~. Additionally, the City wants to ensure their sewer pricing structure
continues to achieve the goals and objectives of the community.

PR~J Rate Restructuring Study
Section 1
Executive Summary
Upon the completion of the sewer pricing structure review and the long-range financial
plan, we offer the following observations and recommendations.
Observations:
· The current user rate structure was implemented in 1991. Since that time the
City has adjusted rates annually in an attempt to keep up with the cost of both
their collection system maintenance costs as well as the City of San Diego's
Metro costs for transportation, treatm6nt, and disposal of Chula Vista's
wastewater. The current rate structure provides for a uniform flat rate for
single family user and a flow based charge for multi-family, mobile homes,
and nonresidential users.
· Technically, the current rate structure is performing as anticipated. However,
it has been requested that flow based rates should be addressed as part of this
study.
· Currently, the billing methodology varies among users in the City, based on
their geo~aphic location. Those customers in Otay water District's
jurisdiction are billed on a monthly basis for both water and sewer service on
the same bill by Otay Water District. Those customers who live in the pre-
annexation area of the City under Sweetwater Authority's jurisdiction are
billed on a bi-monthly basis for sewer service by the City's Finance
_~ Department. The other customers who reside in the Montgomery area who
are either under Sweetwater Authority's jurisdiction or Cai-American's
jurisdiction are billed on.an annual basis on the tax bill by the County of San
Diego Assessors' Office.
· There is a revenue shortfall of $5.5 million between the current sewer user
rates and the fiscal year 2004 revenue requirement.
· Changes in legal and industry standards for establishing sewer charges have
occurred since May of 1991 when the last study was completed.
o The City of San Diego, who provides wastewater treatment for the City of
Chula Vista has commissioned two secondary wastewater treatment
plants. These are the North City West and South Bay Water Reclamation
Plants.
o With the start-up of these facilities the City's commemial categories must
be redefined. Sewage strengths must now be defined in both biochemical
oxyggn demand (BOD)2 and suspended solids3. The City currently
defines sewage strength to only include suspended solids.
z Biochemical oxygen is defined as a pollutant of concern in wastewater treatment. Biodegradable
organic materials are measured most commonly in terms of BOD. This determination inl~olves

Section 1
Executive Summary
Recommendations:
· Modify Billing Structure - Chula Vista should adopt a revised billing
formula for all user classes. The revised billing formula is composed of the
following elements:
o Fixed Annual Charge - An annual service charge to recover the fixed
costs associated with the utility. The American Water Works
Association (AWWA) standards suggest that fixed costs include costs
directly associated with serving customers as well as the pure fixed
costs of the utility. These fixed costs have to be paid whether or not
usage materializes. This includes customer and support services costs,
rents and leases, and the annual contribution to the Sewer Facility
Replacement Fund. The addition of this component provides the City
with more revenue stability.
o Commodity Charge - A commodity charge that recovers costs that
tend to vary with the quantity and strength of sewage, including
treatment and energy costs.
* Long Range Planning - Chula Vista should continue to use a long range
planning approach to funding both operational and capital expenses. A copy of
the City's projected five-year long-range plan is included in Appendix A.
· Adopt A Four Year Financial Plan - Chula Vista should adopt the four-year
rates for fiscal years 2004 to 2007 as shown in Table 1-1. This rate cgse provides
the lowest cost to the City's _customers while meeting the City's wastewater
treatment and local collection system maintenance and operations costs.
In summary, we believe that the City adopted a practical structure for sewer charges in
1991. This study recommends basic structural refinements to conform to current industry
standards and to provide for flow-based rates for all users. These structural adjustments,
plus the adoption of the four-year financial plan, will provide for a continued program to
be cached out to protect the citizens of the City of Chula Vista in an environmentally pro-
active fashion.

~ Suspended solids are defined as a pollutant of concern in wastewater treatment. Non-filoterable
(suspended) solids can lead to the development of sludge deposits and anaerobic conditions
when treated wastewater is discharged into the aquatic environment. .-

1.1 Background
In 2002, the City of Chula Vista contracted with PBS&J to prepare a sewer user rate case
to establish the rates for fiscal years 2004 to 2007. The purpose of this study is to:
1. Update the City's current sewer user rates to insure full cost recovery
2. Suggest any rate structure revisions required to meet the federal and state
requirements as well as changes in industry standards since 1991.
3. Look at flow based alternatives for single family user rates.
City of Chula Vista Wastewater User and
Rate Restructuring Study
Section 1
Executive Summary
The City's current rate structure and rates were established in 1991 by a prior rate study.
The study established user classes for residential, low-strength commercial (less than 200
milligram per liter suspended solids4), medium strength comrnemial (200 through 499
milligrams per liter suspended solids), high strength commercial (greater than 500
milligrams per liter suspended solids), and other categories, which include high volume
users (wastewater discharge greater than 25,000 gallons per day) and septage, whose
rates are determined individually. The sewage strength concentrations for these classes of
users are taken from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Revenue
Program Guidelines. For large volume users that sample wastewater discharge, the
sampling results are used in lieu of the SWRCB estimates. A copy of nonresidential users
that fall in each of the three sewage strength categories is included in Section 2.
The City's current user charge system is intended to distribute the cost of sewer service
amongst their customers. Wastewater charges are currently applied to the City's
residential customers on a per living unit basis. Table 1-2 reviews the current rates and
rate structure.

Executive Summary
Since the 1991 study was performed, several things have occurred (some of which were
mentioned earlier) that have significant impacts on the City's user rates. One of these,
the construction of two new secondary treatment facilities as part of the Metro system,
necessitates the inclusion of BOD as a component of sewage strengths determination in
non-residential rates. Also, to address the concerns of residents who wish to see the
benefits of their water conservation efforts reflected in their sewer bill, the City wishes to
explore revising their single family rate structures from an equivalent dwelling unit
(EDU) to a flow based rate structure. The City currently assumes a flow of 265 gallons
per day per single-family residence. All multi-family and commercial users currently
have flow based rates, and it is assumed that 90 percent of their water consumption, as
measured by their water meter, is discharged to the sewer system.
Various methods of developing single family flow based rates are discussed in ensuing
sections of this study. In addition, further refinements are discussed for the multi-family
and commercial/industrial rate structures.

Wastewater Rate Determination
2.1 Customer Characteristics
The City of Chula Vista provides wastewater collection and treatment services to
approximately 41,000 billing accounts. These accounts are further broken into residential
and non-residential classes for the purpose of establishing wastewater user fees. The first
step in recovering the costs of providing wastewater services to these customers is to
identify them and the characteristics of their wastewater.
The first step in the development of customer wastewater characteristics was to
summarize their water consumption. Water Consumption of all classes of user's was
reviewed and summarized for the study period. Table 2-1 summarizes the number of
living units within the residential customer class and the number of accounts within the
non-residential class, as well as the water consumption converted to sewage flow per user
~oup. The water consumption is shown on an annual basis for all user classes except for
single family users where winter month water is utilized. Winter month water usage in
single family rate determination is more fully discussed later in this Section. As Table 2-1
shows, single-family users represent 91 percent of the customers and generate 63 percent
of the sewage flow, multi-family and mobile home users constitute 5 percent of the users
and account for 16 percent of the sewage flow, and non-residential users represent 4
percent of the customers and generate 21 percent of the sewage flow.

The quality and quantity of effluent from different customer classes varies widely. This
is an important fact, as wastewater system costs are dependent on both the quality and
quantity of effluent from the customer classes. The quality and quantity parameters
applicable to the C~ty's wastewater system include average wastewater flow, biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD), and suspended solids (SS). The City provides only wastewater
collection for their customers' sewage. Transportation, treatment, and disposal are
provided by the City of San Diego's Metropolitan Wastewater Department (Metro).
Published data is available on the typical quality of wastewater from different types of
commercial and industrial establishments. Table 2-2 summarizes the discharge loading
of residential and various common non-residential users normally found in a City. This
data is from published sampling compilations from the City of San Jose, East Bay MUD,
Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency, Sacramento County Regional
Sanitation District, and the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. The State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the overseer of wastewater rates for all
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant and low interest loan funded agencies in
the State, considers this data representative of most cities in California. All individual
commercial discharge loadings used in this study are from this approved SWRCB data.
Although the City does not have all of these types of users, the sewer user strength
classifications are provided for reference in grouping the non-residential.

To simplify administration, users are divided into classes based on the estimated strength
of their wastewater for the purposes of this study. The City's users are classified into
three classes of residential users (Single-Family, Multi-Family and Mobile Homes) and
four classes of non-residential users (Low-Strength, Medium-Strength, High-Strength and
Institutional). In the future, should the City have additional commercial or industrial
customers that due to their unique characteristics and/or high volume usage do not fit
within any of the established user categories, they should create a unique and separate
user class for the customer.
2.2 Fiscal Year 2004 Wastewater Rate Revenue Requirement

general and administration expenses, are the basis for wastewater rates. The City of

Chula Vista fiscal year 2004 total annual wastewater revenue requirement6 is established
at $19.7 million as shown in Table 2-3. The wastewater rate revenues expected during
fiscal year 2003 from the current wastewater rates is about $14.2 million. Therefore the
revenue required from the fiscal year 2004 wastewater rates is $5.5 million lower than is
required to meet the current operating and capital needs of the utility. In addition, the
City collects the Storm Drain fee with the Sewer service fee as a matter of convenience.

The annual revenue requirement is the amount of revenue that should be generated by
wastewater rates in order to cover costs associated with operations arid maintenance
(O&M) of the utility. This includes other financial needs such as capital replacement and
debt service, with consideration of fund and reserve balances. The determination of the
revenue requirement starts with the annual operations cost of the enterprise, including
interfund transfers. To this planned capital expenditures are added, which, in this case,
are represented by transfers to capital i'eserves. The revenues anticipated from other
sources such as interest earnings and other service charges reduce this total expenditure
requirement.
The annual revenue requirement can be related to wastewater treatment parameters or
functional cost categories. As a part of this rate study, a detailed cost-of-service analysis
has been performed based upon the City's preliminary fiscal year 2004 budget. The costs
associated with providing sewage collection and treatment to the City's customers has
been further allocated to fixed, semi-variable, and variable components, which is fully
discussed in the cost allocation steps.
6 The total annual revenue requirement is the amount of revenue required in one year to meet all
capital and O&M expenditures incurred or obligated during the year.

It is important to note that any change in the rate structure will affect the amounts paid by
each customer. That is, with any type of rate structure change some customers will have
a larger and some customers will have a smaller change in their wastewater bills.
2.3 Cost of Service Analysis
The wastewater rates developed in this study are based on the cost of providing service.
The wastewater rates discussed in this Section were first developed on a revenue neutral
basis using the City's fiscal year 2003 wastewater enterprise fund budget and then
updated to include the revenue requirement for fiscal year 2004.
The cost of wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal, together with associated
general and administration expenses are the basis for wastewater rates. The cost
allocations are based on a full recovery cost-of-sei'vice philosophy. The cost allocation
process is shown schematically ~n Figure 1, numerically in Table 2-3 and in greater detail
in Appendix C.

Wastewater Rate Determination
2.3.1 Step 1: identify Fixed and Variable Costs
The total annual revenue requirements for wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal
services include O&M expenses, capital costs, and other expenses, less other non-
operating revenues. The distinction between fixed and variable costs depends on how
these costs vary when an independent variable changes. For example, the system's flow is
frequently considered to be the independent variable. However, it could just as easily be
the vehicle miles driven to maintain the collection system, the hours of operation, or the
quality of the sewage discharged by the City's users.
If a cost is a function of the independent variable, the cost is said to be a variable cost.
The change in cost per unit variable is known as the incremental cost. Cost of sewage
treatment by Metro and utility costs such as electricity and gas are examples of variable
costs. They increase in proportion to the volume and quality of the sewage discharged by
the City's users. An additional category of cost is semi-variable cost. This type of cost
increases by degrees. For example, materials, labor, and supervisory cost are stepwise
functions of the number of operating shifts.
If a cost is not a function of the independent variable, the cost is said to be a fixed cost.
Rent, insurance, leases, property taxes, depreciation of assets, debt service, administrative
overhead, and licenses are typical fixed costs. These costs will be incurred regardless of
wastewater flow levels or quality.
2.3.2 Step 2: Define Components of a Service Charge And Fixed Versus
Variable Costs
The City currently only has a commodity charge for multi family dwellings and non-
residential users. Most agencies are currently adding a service charge to recover at least a
portion of their fixed costs. This provides for revenue stability and is viewed favorably
by bond rating agencies. The wastewater service charge is established similar to a water
sgrvice charge. Reviews with Staff have lead to the conclusion that the wastewater rate
structure should incorporate a service charge component, and that it should reflect a
percentage of the fixed capacity-related7 cost of providing service.
The service charge is further defined to include the amount necessary to recover all
customer-related costs. This is consistent with the fact that a material part of the
operating and capital costs of a utility business is more directly and more closely related
to the number of customers than to consumption or flow.8 The American Water Works
Association (AWWA) defines a customer charge as those recovering metering, billing,
7 Capacity is defined, as the utility's ability to have resources available to meet the wastewater
service needs of its customers. It represents the ability of the utility to meet the quantify, quality,
peak loads, and other service needs of the various customer or classes of customers served by the
utility.

collection, administration, and accounting costs related to the customer. 9 Included are
such expense accounts as office supplies, postage, and data processing.
Also included in the service charge are those costs, which are incurred regardless of
whether service is used (i.e. permit fees and debt service). Allocation of such fixed costs
as depreciation to fund replacement reserve capital projects are appropriate (and
defensible in purely economic terms), but may increase the service charge for low-usage
customers.
The remaining costs of operating the City's sewer collection and treatment systems were
then allocated to the variable or commodity portion of the wastewater user rate.
The establishment of a service charge is especially important for the City of Chula Vista
in light of the proposed change to the single family user rate structure. Single family
residents have historically provided approximately 63 percent of the revenue, which was
all fixed revenue as they are currently billed on a flat rate system. Without the addition of
a service charge for residential and non-residential users the City's revenue stream would
convert to I00 pement variable which would make the City highly vulnerable to external
factors such as drought, extreme wet weather, etc. A service charge would provide the
City with $3.4 million in fixed revenue, which will cover 17 percent of their revenue
requirement. In Southern California it is not unusual to have a service charge that
recovers 30 percent or more of the annual revenue requirement. However this has a
~eater impact on the low end user.
2.3.3 Step 3: Define Wastewater System Parameters
Once the revenue requirements of the City's wastewater utility have been allocated
between fixed and variable, the next step in the cost allocation process is to allocate the
City's wastewater facilities to the treatment parameters of flow, BOD, and TSS. All costs
associated with the City's wastewater collection system are allocated 100 percent to flow.
The treatment costs are allocated based upon Metro's functional-design based cost
allocation. Costs associated with treatment are currently allocated 51.8 percent to flow,
and 23.2 percent to BOD and 25 percent to SS to the City's users~°. The Metro
functional-design based cost allocation is weighted very heavily to flow as a large portion
of the Metro Facilities are water reclamation plants, pipelines, and pump stations. It
should be noted that the City currently charges their customers based on flow and SS.
This is due to the fact that when the City's last rate study was performed the only
commissioned wastewater treatment plant in the Metro system was Point Loma, which is
an advanced primary treatment plant. This is one of the major changes recommended by
this study to keep the City in compliance with Federal and State regulations.

Section 2
Wastewater Rate Determination
2,3,4 Step 4: Residential and Non-residential Service Charge Determination
Once revenue requirements and system parameters are determined, the costs are allocated
to all residential and non-residential users of' the City. The service charge is comprised of
fixed costs as discussed earlier. It is designed to recover the cost of customer service as
well as a portion of other fixed costs. Customer and fixed costs incorporated into the
service charge comprise 0.4 percent and 26.8 percent respectively of the City's fiscal year
2004 projected operating budget. Included in the fixed service charge are costs
associated with customer and support services, as well as rents, leases, and the annual
transfer to the sewer facility replacement fund. These costs are shown on Table 2-3.
Calculation of the wastewater service charge is similar to a water service charge. First
customer service costs are allocated on a per account basis. Then the capacity portion of
the fixed costs included in the service charge is applied to all customer classes on a per
meter basis. The service charge for all single family residents are assumed to be
equivalent to a 5/8" meter as a larger water meter is normally only installed for exterior
water usage or fire flow requirements. Therefore, the actual meter size is excluded from
the single family wastewater fee calculation and is replaced by a 5/8" equivalent meter.
For non-residential and multi-family users the fee is allocated based on the actual size of
the installed water meter to create the "equivalent customer'']] portion of the service
charge. This establishes the "fixed" or base portion of the wastewater fee.
2.3.5 Step 5: Residential and Non-Residential Flow and Class Determination
To simplify the administration of the rate structure, all of the City's customers are
grouped into customer classes and their wastewater characteristics were identified (this
was discussed earlier in this Section).- These customer classes include single-family
residential, multi-family residential, and various non-residential users. It should be noted
that for purposes of this study the following categories are considered to not return water
to the sewer and are therefore excluded in the rate structure modeling: fire/hydrant meter,
construction, agriculture, and landscape.
Water use characteristics (and conversely wastewater flows) are relatively homogeneous
for single family and multi-family customers. However, single family customers exhibit
greater seasonal variation in exterior water use.
There are two basic methods to achieve the goal for single family use based rates; either a
flat or variable commodity rate is added to the service charge discussed in Step 4, Both
commodity rates utilize winter month water consumption. The winter months, primarily
November through April, are considered to be the time of year when the majority of
n This is the means of relating larger water meter size customers to a base customer, typically a
single family unit or other small-use customer, such as a 5/8" water meter. It represents the
composite of all elements of cost differences betwveen the base customer and the large-use
customers to be served. It is expressed as a ratio of the base customer unit ....

water is used inside the home, for bathing, washing clothes, etc., and when far less water
is used for outside irrigation~2. This means a higher percentage of water is returned to the
sewerage system. Since sewerage system costs should be allocated to customers
proportionate to their use, this is the fairest way to bill customers.
Water use patterns vary greatly during the year and between users. Climate, lot size,
amount of vegetation, number of occupants, plumbing type, and individual use patterns
come into play. Since some of these relate to outdoor use, winter water use better reflects
wastewater flow. The County of San Diego extensively studied the relationship of winter
water use to wastewater flow. The conclusions and recommendations to this study state:
"As part of this study, wastewater flows were metered at three manholes that contained
flows from single family residences only. The flows were metered during the winter of
1993/94, and the period corresponded to when the water districts metered water use.
Both the wastewater and water flows could then be compared. What is interesting is that
the winter water use and wastewater flow varied directly among the sites. This su,~[ests
that there is a direct correlation of flows to the sewer and metered winter water use. ,~3
The single family water consumption component was derived from usage in winter
months. This study reviewed detailed water data of a per account basis for a period of 18
months. The eighteen-month period used for this study was between September 2000 and
February 2002. Three ways were determined for establishing a winter month average for
each customer:
1. Each customer's individual lowest ,reading during the study period. This lowest
consecutive reading is then annualized and becomes the single family's discharge
to the sewer.
2. The average of each customers txvo lowest consecutive reading's during the study
period. This average is then annualized and becomes the single family's discharge
to the sewer.
3. The single family's entire customer classes' lowest winter month during the study
period. Once again this is then annualized and becomes the single family sewer
classes sewage discharge.
After review with staff, it was determined that the most equitable alternative to come up
with single family winter month water usage is: to pick each customers two lowest
months during the winter month period of November to April and then to convert them
into an annual average for sewage flow generation. The single family winter water usage
when annualized produces a flow of 5 million HCF or 10.2 MGD.
On the other hand, multi-family and non-residential users are prone to fluctuations in
interior water use due to seasonal variations and transient occupancy as opposed to

exterior fluctuations in irrigation. Therefore, the City's multi-family and mobile home
wastewater flows were determined by establishing an annual use average based on the
last eighteen months. About 60 to 85 percent of the per capita consumption of water
becomes wastewater (the lower percentages are applicable to the semiarid region of the
southwestern United States).~4 Based on the rate of return developed during the City' of
Chula Vista's water usage study, a rate of return for multi-family during the study period
was determined to be 79 percent and mobile homes 84 percent. This is a revision to the
City's current multi-family and mobile home customer's rate structure. Historically the
City has used 90 percent as their rate of return to the sewer. Incorporating these changes
the multi-family wastewater flow is estimated to be 1.3 million HCF or 2.6 MGD. The
mobile home wastewater flow is estimated to be 125,000 HCF or .25 MGD. The total
residential wastewater flow is estimated to be 13 MGD during the study period.
Non-domestic wastewater flow rates from non-residential sources vary with the type and
size of the facility, the degree of water reuse, and on-site treatment methods, if any. For
non-residential users without intemal recycling or reuse programs, it can be assumed that
the majority of the water used in various operations and processes will become
wastewater. The rate-of-return for the City's non-residential customers has historically
been set at 90 percent. The City's non-residential wastewater flows were estimated using
the same annual water consumption records as the single and multi-family users. This
developed a rate-of-return of 89 percent, which validates the 1991 study's assumptions.
Published data has determined that industries without internal recycling or reuse
programs, it can be assumed that 85 percent to 95 percent or the water used in various
operations and processes will become wastewater? This is based on the fact that most of
the non-residential customers in a City either have separate landscape meters or minimal
landscaping. After review of the data we determined that the correct rate of return for
non-residential users is 90 percent based on their water usage characteristics as a class
and the mass balance of the entire wastewater user system.
The City's non-residential user category is further broken down into three classes of
commercial, institutional, and special/industrial users. Annual water usage produced a
non-residential user flow ot~ 1.9 million HCF or 3.6 MGD. This provides a total
wastewater flow from all residential and non-residential users of 16.6 MGD based on
water usage converted to sewage flow by using the discussed rates of return.

The wastewater flows for the City were also determined by an analysis of the City's
wastewater metering summaries. Using this data for residential and non-residential
customers, the current residential and non-residential wastewater flows were estimated
and compared to the water consumption data. The difference between the average of the
metered flow discharged to the City's wastewater system and the water consumption data
was less than 10 percent and was therefore considered non-material.
The City's residential and commercial users have been classified into a two-dimensional
matrix. The residential users have three wastewater flow-to-use categories and one BCD
and SS concentration. The non-residential users have one wastewater-flow-to-water-use
categories and three BCD and SS concentrations. The quantities and strengths delivered
to the City's system by all categories of users were analyzed. The annual discharges of
volume, BCD, and SS were documented for the customer classes in order to develop an
equitable rate structure in which user charges were devised which was proportional to
both the quantity and strength of the was_tewater discharged.
The entire customer base and its respective discharges were then totaled. Figure 2
illustrates the proportional base of quantity and quality of sewage of each user class in
relation to the total City wastewater discharged to the treatment plant. This shows that
the single-family class is proportionally responsible for 60 percent, multi-family and
mobile home customers 16 percent, and non-residential and special/industrial customers
24 percent of the quantity and quality of wastewater generated and therefore of the annual
wastewater budget. As shown on the exhibit this is a change from the current distribution
of revenue by customers classes. This is due to the inclusion of BCD in the user rates.
High quality lower strength sewage costs, more to treat than residential sewage and
therefore should be charged proportionately to the cost incurred.

2.3.6 Step 6: Final Wastewater Charge Determination
The semi-variable, variable costs, and the remaining non-operating revenues are then
allocated based on the parameters of 51.8 percent flow, 23.2 percent BOD, and 25
percent SS to the various user classes (residential, non-residential and special/industrial).
This allocation was done in three basic steps to determine the commodity portion of the
wastewater fee per user class:
Step 1: The variable cost less variable revenues was allocated among the
treaffnent parameters in proportion to the percentages of costs that the parameters
represent.
Step 2: The amounts determined in Step I were divided by the total annual
volume of sewage produced by the users of the City's system.
City of Chula Vista Wastewater User and
Rate Restructuring Study
20
Section 2
Wastewater Rate Determination
Step 3: The unit costs~6 determined in Steps 1 and 2 were then multiplied by the
volume of each user class, and an annual rate in proportion to the user's demand on
the system was established.
After these steps were taken it was determined that the requirements for each class of
users based on the City's fiscal year 2004 budget is as shown in Figure 2. The revenue
requirement by class reflects the funding of the additional revenue requirement for
operational and capital costs as well as the inclusion for the first time of BOD in all users
rates.
2.4 Alternative Wastewater Rate Structures
Once the costs are allocated to each of the three user classes a final cost allocation step
must be taken: a rate structure for each user class must be determined and a rate set by
class. Rate structures may vary between customer classes depending on specific rate-
setting objectives and practical considerations. In all cases, the cost allocation and rate
design steps result in rates where costs are proportionately distributed among customer
classes.
The City's wastewater collection system and the Metro wastewater treatment plants are
designed to serve differing demands placed upon it by its customers. To provide rate
equity among users, it is necessary to allocate the costs of accommodating these demands
to users in proportion to their wastewater discharge characteristics. One of the most
important issues to be addressed in this wastewater rate study is to determine the most
equitable cost allocation method.
Wastewater rate structures can be furthe~ grouped into two generally accepted methods of
cost recovery for wastewater agencies - an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) or a flow
based system, which takes into account wastewater strengths. These two methods are
described briefly below along with their advantages and disadvantages.
2.4.1 Equivalent Dwelling Unit System
In an equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) based system a single-family unit is considered to
be one EDU. In the case of the City of Chula Vista one EDU is estimated to be 265
gallons per day (gpd) as shown below.
Land use Average Daily Flow EDU Factor
Single-Family 265 gpd 1 EDU
~6 A unit cost is defined as the cost of producing a unit of a product or service. An example is the
cost of treating one HCF of wastewater discharged by the City's customers.
City of Chula Vista Wastewater User and
~J~ Rate Restructuring Study
21
Section 2
Wastewater Rate Determination
For other residential and non-residential users EDU's are computed by estimating the
amount of flow generated and comparing that with the average residential flow. A
commercial or industrial user's EDUs are calculated based on the building area
established at the time that they take out a building permit. The City currently has a
partial EDU based system of wastewater user charges for their residential users, while
non-residential accounts are billed based on their annual water use and therefore fall into
the "Flow Based System" described below. An EDU based system is only mom
equitable than a flow based system when a wastewater agency does not have timely
access to the water consumption data of its residents. This is not the case in Chula Vista.
The advantages of an EDU system are:
I. It is a relatively simple rate structure. EDUs are determined initially and then
remain fixed.
2. The yearly wastewater fee is simple to calculate once a formula is determined.
User charges remain stable from month to month maintaining a stable source of
revenue for the City.
The disadvantages of an EDU based system are:
1. It does not take into account changes in use ~)atterns among its users.
2. It is difficult to keep the information on the parameters required to determine the
EDU's when they need to be updated.
3. Keeping track of growth or, in some cases, decline in existing activity is difficult.
For example, in an EDU based system the user fee for a restaurant is normally
determined on the number of seats assigned in their business license. If a
restaurant expands and adds a few more seats, there is a good chance the City
may not be apprised of the change and hence the EDUs for the user may not
change.
4. It does not take into account variations between similar customers. For example,
two restaurants with the same seating capacity would be charged the same
monthly amount based on EDU's. However, if one restaurant was successful and
generated much more wastewater than the other one it would still be charged the
same based on an EDU system.
5. The inequity and inability to consider wastewater strengths appropriately.
2.4.2 Flow Based System with Appropriate Strengths
A flow-based system, which takes into account industry standard wastewater strengths,
provides a much more equitable system of charges than an EDU rate system. However,
water usage for residential customers varies widely depending on usage of irrigation.
The following is a discussion of several different methods of establishing wastewater
rates based on metered water. These were reviewed in assessing the appropriateness of
flow based rates for the City's wastewater customers and in meeting the City's rate
objectives.

2.4.3 Summary of Wastewater Commodity Rate Alternatives
Once the cost per user class was developed, the var/able portion of the wastewater charge
for users was established based on various alternatives. In the residential user classes both
a variable and flat commodity rate structure combined with the service charge were
explored. In the non-residential class only a variable commodity rate structure, adjusted
for sewage strengths, combined with the service charge was considered.
2.4.3.1 Single Family Rate Determination
Two of the overall objectives in this rate study were that rates should be fair. and
equitable as well as sensitive to the cost of service for basic needs. The consultants
reviewed several alternatives for single family rate structures with the City staff. Primary
alternatives are discussed below. Other alternatives that were considered in lesser detail
by the consultant are not presented herein.
Alternative 1 - Uniform Flat Rate
This rate is similar to the City's current quasi-EDU system, but is established
based upon proportionate water usage of the single family user class rather than
assumed gallonage. This method translates into a flat rate wastewater user charge
of $27.98. The City's current flat rate is $22.37. The advantages of a uniform flat
rate structure are:
1. All users pay an average rate and there is never a debate over water usage
during the winter months.
2. It provides maximum revenue stability for the City and is easy to
administer.
3. It can also be accommodated by the City's current utility billing system.
The disadvantages of a uniform rate structure are:
1. A uniform flat rate does not take into account actual use patterns of the
City's single-family residential customers and it does not protect base use
affordability. Base use affordability is defined as providing sewer
service to lower than average water use customers.
· Alternative 2- Service Charge With Variable Commodity Rates
As an alternative to one fiat rate based upon winter water usage, the consultant
explored a service charge and variable commodity rate structure for single family
users based upon metered winter water usage. This is similar to the rate structure
proposed for multi-family and non-residential users later in this Section. The
single-family customer would pay a monthly service charge plus a variable
commodity charge of $1.90 per HCF. The commodity charge could either be
City of Ghula Vista Wastewater User and
~ Rate Restructuring Study
23
Section 2
Wastewater Rate Determination
subject to a cap based on each customer's individual winter month minimum
water usage or an annual rate-of-return equal to the difference between low winter
and high summer water usage. A minimum charge per billing cycle would be
established equal to the service charge plus one HCF of commodity charge.
This type of rate structure is the most popular form of billing multi-family and
non-residential customers as those classes of users tend to have either limited
exterior landscaping or a separate irrigation meter, and therefore minimal exterior
water is captured in the wastewater commodity charge. And over the past ten
years, this type of rate structure, in one of five basic forms has exceeded the flat
rate structure in popularity. In studies prepared by the SWRCB 63 percent of
wastewater agencies utilized some form of variable rate structure while 37 percent
retained either and EDU or flow based flat rate structure.
The advantages of some form of a variable rate structure include:
1. A major sense of equity between single-family users of the City's
wastewater system.
2. It provides for more individualized wastewater rate determination and
gives both the customer and the City ultimate flexibility.
However a variable rate structure is not with out its disadvantages:
1. The first and most major is the rate of return determination: whether it is
based on winter water usage, what form that winter water usage takes,
and how the customer perceives their account has been adjusted to
exclude outside irrigation. The fact that the customers are normally
undercharged in the winter does not negate the situarion in their eyes.
2. This method of billing can also cause extreme revenue volatility, as the
service charge does not recover all fixed costs.
3. This is the most administratively complex of the two form of rate
structures and could require additional staff time. It could also require
additional computer programming therefore, the City and Otay Water
District will need to reprogram their billing systems to handle individual
caps and annual rates-of-return.
Figure 3 summarizes the pros and cons of each of the rate structures reviewed
during the course of this study.

2.4.3.1(a) Preferred Single Family Wastewater Rate Structure
review of altematives available to create consumption based rate structure for single
multiple rate structures were reviewed with City staff. In addition, Table 2-4
illustrates the impact on single-family users of either a service charge with a variable
commodity charge or a service charge with individual flat rates. The only difference
between the two is that the service charge with variable commodity charge is allowed to
change based on the actual water usage each billifig cycle up to the cap while individual
rates are set once a year and remain constant during the entire fiscal year. Both rate
structures are subject to a 15 HCF cap. That cap represents the 90th pementile of users,
is the level, established by the State Water Resources Control Board of the State of
California. It is recommended that the City adopt an "individual flat rate" structure for
single-family users. This will allow single-family customers to plan for their sewer user
billing. The rate is set once a year in July based on the two lowest consecutive
usage readings (.monthly billing) or the lowest reading (bi-monthly). The billing
formula for an individual flat rate structure is as follows:

2.4.3.2 Multi-family Rate Determination
The consultant reviewed additional refinements to the multi-family and mobile home
customer rate structures with City staff. Currently the multi-farrfily and mobile home
customer classes are charged a flow-based rate with a minimum of $22.37/Account and
maximum of $22.37/Unit per month.
It is recommended that a service charge should be added to a variable commodity rate
structure that is similar to the way non-residential customers are billed. The revised rate
structure would consist of a service charge based on the actual water meter size to
recover customer service and fixed costs, and a variable commodity rote, which
incorporates a rate of return to the sewer. A rate of tatum should be incorporated in the
rate structure, as 100 percent of the water that flows through the water meter does not
tatum to the sewer. The water usage study shows a rate of return of 79 pement multi-
family and 84 pement for mobile homes. The service charges for fiscal year 2004 are
shown on Table 2-5 for each meter size. The charge for residential strength sewage for
fiscal year 2004 is $1.90 per HCF. The billing formula for multi-family and mobile home
users would be as follows:

27
Section 2
Wastewater Rate Determination
2.4.3.3 Non-Residential Rate Determination
As with the multi-family and mobile home user rates, we are recommending that the
commercial and industrial user rates incorporate a service charge and a rate of return.
This would establish a service charge based upon the actual water meter size to recover
fixed costs and then add to it a variable commodity rate based not only upon the quantity
but also the quality of sewage generated and discharged to the City's sewer system. As
discussed earlier non-residential users have been classified into one wastewater-flow-to-
water-use category and three BOD and SS concentrations. The water usage study shows
a rate of return of 90 percent for commercial users. This produces variable commodity
rates for fiscal year as shown in Table 2-5. The fiscal year 2004 service charges are the
same as those applied to the single and multi-family users and are also shown on Table 2-
5. The billing formula for non-residential users would be as follows:

by dividing the annual commodity costs by the anticipated HCF for that user adjusted for

3.0 Summary of Recommendations
In summary the following recommendations are made regarding the City's rates and rate
structures:
1. The City should modify its current rate structure to bring it to industry and federal
standards. Calculation of all components of the rate structure for fiscal year 2004
is included in Appendix B.
a. The single family rate structure should be modified to include a base
monthly service charge as well as a commodity rate established based on
each customers two consecutive lowest month winter water usage. In the
industry this is termed an "Individual Flat Rate". The billing formula for
single family would be as follows:

commodity charge based upon a 79 percent rate of return to the sewer for
multi-family and 84 percent for mobile homes. The billing formula for

ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA

BACKGROUND
When the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) was created in the mid -1970's the
original source of funding was the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The
CHIP program provides grants and Iow-interest or deferred loans to Iow-income mobilehome
residents and single-family homeowners to rehabilitate their hor~es. The CHIP prograrn is no longer
funded by CDBG and is currently financed with a combination of Low and Moderate Income
Housing funds and HOME program funds.
Many of the CDBG funded loans were deferred until a change in title or a refinancing took place.
As the loans were repaid, the CHIP proceeds were deposited in the CDBG Community Housing
Improvement Program account. The purpose of this item is to authorize the transfer of funds from
the CDBG Community Housing Improvement Program fund to the CDBG program income fund.
Since CDBG funds were used to provide the loans, any proceeds from repayment is considered
program income.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorizing transfer of $471,090 from the CDBG CHIP program fund to the CDBG program
income fund.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.

MEETING DATL' 06/03/03
DISCUSSION
When the Communi~, Housing Improvement Program (CHIP) was created in the mid - 1970's, the
primary source of funding came from the CDBG program. Over the course of time, these CHIP loans
were repaid and the proceeds deposited into the CDBG CHIP fund with an accumulated balance of
$471,090. As part of the fiscal year-end clean up, staff recommends transfer of the $471,090 from
the CDBG CHIP program fund to the CDBG program income fund. The $471,090 in CDBG
program income funds is not budgeted within the fiscal year 2003-04 budget and is available to fund
future programs and projects.
FISCAL IMPACT
Transfer of $471,090 from the CDBG CHIP program fund to the CDBG program income fund is
considered administrative in nature and will have a positive impact on the CDBG program since
additional funds will be available for future eligible CDBG projects or programs.
