SUMMARY
On January 20, 2009, the City Council endorsed the City Manager's Fiscal Health Plan
which included the review of the City's Master Fee Schedule to identify potential additional
fee revenues. Adoption of the proposed resolutions represents the first formal steps in the
implementation of the Fee Review component of the Fiscal Health Plan.

ENVIRONMENT AL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the State
CEQA Guidelines because it is a government fiscal activity; therefore, pursuant to
Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.
Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council conduct the Public Hearing, adopt the resolutions and adopt the ordinances.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
Over the last few years the City of Chula Vista has experienced a precipitous decline in
revenues resulting from the slumping economy, housing crisis, and slowdown in
development activity. The City has made significant program and personnel reductions
during this time in order to bring expenditures into balance with diminished revenues. In
January 2009 the City Council approved the City Manager's Chula Vista Fiscal Health Plan.
The stated goals of the plan were to preserve City services, mitigate the current budget
crisis, and provide long-term financial stability for the City of Chula Vista. The plan
proposed to accomplish these goals while engaging the community and increasing
transparency and accountability. The plan consists of four key focus areas, with multiple
implementation steps/tasks for each focus area, as summarized below.
1. Expenditure Cuts
2. Increased Revenues
a. Fee review
b. Grant funds
c. Contract review
d. New partnerships
3. Economic Development & Job Creation
4. Budget Reforms
Implementation of the Fee Review component of the Increased Revenue focus area will
occur in three phases, with tonight's action representing Phase 1. Items to be considered
in each phase ofthe fee review are as follows:

Citywide Cost Recovery Policy
Administrative fees
Public Works fees (partial)
Sewer Service Charges (continuation of previously
approved rates)
Master Fee Schedule clean-up & new format
Development & construction related processing fees
Community Service fees (Library & Recreation)
Public Safety fees (Police, Fire & Code Enforcement)
Municipal Code clean-up
While a primary mission of government is to satisfy community needs such as police and
fire protection, many city services solely benefit specific individuals or businesses. It has
been the general policy of the City Council that the public at large should not subsidize
activities of such a private interest through general tax revenues. Therefore, the City has
established user fees to best ensure that those who use a proprietary service pay for that
service in proportion to the benefits received.
Developing a formal cost recovery policy will allow the City of Chula Vista to provide an
ongoing, sound basis for setting fees given the full cost of providing the service. The
policy will also allow charges and fees to be periodically reviewed and updated based on
predetermined, researched, supportable, and transparent criteria. The policy will help the
City meet desired goals for future cost recovery while supporting the values and mission
of the organization.
Cost Recovery Policy - Overview
As the City continues its efforts toward a sustainable budget that will withstand uncertain
economic times in the long term, it is appropriate that target cost recovery levels be
established for services for which fees are charged.
A cost recovery policy provides guidelines for setting fees given the full cost of service.
It does not bind policy makers to increasing or decreasing fees, but provides a rationale
for doing so. The policy can be changed at any time to account for unintended results,
but these circumstances will be easier to deal with at a policy level if the foundation and
framework for the establishment of appropriate fees can be articulated in advance. Future
Councils may decide that the policy should be revised, but in doing so the effect on
General Fund resources and programs must be recognized. The lower fees are set
relative to full cost recovery, the more General Fund dollars are required to maintain the
service. Such support must then be weighed against the other needs for General Fund
resources, including needs which may not have similar cost recovery options.
Approval of Resolution A will establish a citywide cost recovery policy, including
uniform guidelines and cost recovery levels for all City programs, events, activities,
11-3
JUNE 8,2010, Item-LL
Page 4 of 23
goods, and services. Approval of the policy will support optimum cost-recovery rates for
certain services and alleviate unintended subsidization of these services from General
Fund resources.
The foundation of effective cost recovery is a well conceived, regularly reviewed policy.
A fee recovery policy should establish:
1. A regular schedule for the update or revision of the cost of service analysis and
revenue recovery policy.
2. A procedure for evaluating the costs of specific services and programs that may
be all or in part supported by fees.
3. A target proportion of cost recovery for each program or service.
Cost Recovery Policy - Current System
All City fees are authorized via the Master Fee Schedule and/or the Municipal Code. For
several service areas, such as development processing, the City has informally adopted a
policy of full cost recovery; however, the City does not have a formal citywide policy
regarding cost recovery levels.
Fees imposed by the City take one of three forms: flat fees, tiered or multi-level fees, and
variable fees based on costs (deposits).
Flat fees are preferable in most cases due to their ease of administration and collection.
Where the annual volume of activity is high and the per-project costs are reasonably stable,
the flat fees are calculated based on the average transaction cost for services provided. If
flat fees are not subject to regular updates and service levels are maintained, then as costs for
providing services increase, general tax dollars will increasingly subsidize the City's costs
for providing these services.
Variable fees adjust for inflation automatically by requiring a deposit from which actual
costs are debited and any unspent balance is refunded. If the costs of a particular service
differ with the size or complexity of the project, deposit-based fees provide a more equitable
assessment of those costs than would be possible through a flat fee. Thus, for example,
citizens who petition for annexation to the City are charged only for the actual staff time
spent on their various projects, rather than paying "average" processing costs. Variable fees
are difficult to administer, but since they automatically correct for changes in service costs,
increased efficiency, and fluctuations in requested or mandated service levels, they seldom
require updating. While they do not require frequent updates, it is preferable to regularly
update any standardized deposit schedules associated with these fees. Realistic deposit
schedules helps applicants better understand the financial commitment associated with the
City's provision of these services.
Tiered or multi-level fees serve as a middle ground. These fees are used when the cost of
service provision is more closely correlated to a specific project factor. Two or more fee
levels are set and the level of the fee is determined by objective measurable criteria. Tiered
11-4
JUNE 8, 2010, Item~
Page 5 of 23
fees thus offer the stability and administrative ease of flat fees and the enhanced equity of
deposits. As with flat fees however, these fees must be updated periodically to ensure that
the City's general tax support for these services remains at a consistent level.
For all fees collected by the City, the full cost of providing services is identified using the
citywide Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). The CAP is a data-based system for distribution of
administrative and other overhead charges to programs and services. The end result of the
plan is the calculation of fully burdened hourly rates for all City employees. When
establishing flat or tiered fees, the hourly rate used in the calculation employs data from the
CAP. Likewise, variable fees are assessed by directly applying the hourly rates calculated in
the CAP against funds deposited with the City.
Cost Recovery Policy - Benefits of a Formal Policy
Establishing a carefully considered policy for cost recovery is a good foundation for
charging fees for facilities, programs, and services. This process helps agencies
determine when they have established a sufficient number and variety of programs and
activities that benefit a large number of constituents, and when they can begin to focus on
programs for smaller numbers of individuals. It also assists staff in recognizing where
subsidies are being applied, determining if it is at an appropriate level, and understanding
how and why offerings are priced as they are. An articulated cost recovery policy is also
useful in justifying the cost and pricing of new programs.
Additionally, having a cost recovery policy in place can assist an agency in responding to
questions from stakeholders, such as:
· Are programs and activities priced fairly?
· How will we continue to fund our agency's facilities and services despite future
budget constraints?
· Are those who can pay, paying?
· Are those who cannot afford to pay receiving assistance/subsidies?
· Is funding used responsibly?
Establishing a cost recovery policy will accomplish the following:
· Provide a structure to calculate fees for programs.
· Recover appropriate costs, based on who is served and program type.
· Provide systematic framework for the potential removal of programs not
generating the designated minimum cost recovery for that program.
· Provide transparency and allow Council to decide how General Fund subsidies
are allocated.

Cost Recovery Policy - Proposed Policy
The proposed Cost Recovery Policy ("Policy") is included as Attachment 1, and has three
central components:
1. Provision for ongoing review
2. Process for establishing cost recovery levels
3. Target cost recovery leyels for services/activities
In order to keep cost recovery levels consistent with Council direction at the time that the
fees are adopted (thereby avoiding unintended General Fund subsidies for fee based
activities) a regular schedule of fee review is critical. The proposed policy calls for
comprehensive review of the Master Fee Schedule at least once every five (5) years, with
annual index based updates to take effect October 1 each year. For those fees based upon
full cost recovery, the October 1 update will be based on the City operating budget for the
new fiscal year beginning July 1. For those fees set below full cost recovery, the index
applied will be the San Diego Area Consumer Price Index (July to July change, or portion
thereof in the instance of mid-year fee updates). The October 1 effective date is
consistent with existing indexed fee updates for the City's development impact fees, and
allows sufficient time following adoption of the annual operating budget in June for the
recalculation of the fees. In conjunction with Phase III of the Fee Review, Council will
be presented with a resolution formalizing the annual index based update process. The
first annual index based update will occur in October of20l1.
The Policy next lays out the process for establishing cost recovery levels, including:
1. Factors to be considered;
2. General concepts; and
3. Determination of Cost Recovery Level
Lastly, the Policy identifies target cost recovery levels for City services/activities. The
target cost recovery levels in the Policy are described in broad terms to provide flexibility
necessary to address new services and activities that may be offered by the City in the
future without amending the Policy itself.
Master Fee Schedule - Overview
Originally established in 1982, the Master Fee Schedule ("Schedule") is a centralized
listing of the fees charged by the City for services, administrative acts and other legally
required fees. The schedule serves as a resource for the public to determine the costs of
various types of City services without the need for extensive research or a specialized
understanding of municipal government.
For the schedule to serve that purpose, it must be comprehensive. In its current form, the
schedule omits several fees which have been authorized by previous Council actions and are
included in the Municipal Code. If the schedule is purported to be an authoritative
collection of City fees, the general public will assume that if a particular fee is not listed in
11-6
JUNE 8, 2010, Item~
Page 7 of 23
the schedule, it does not exist. In order to eliminate such confusion, all fees currently listed
in the Municipal Code should be transferred to the Master Fee Schedule.
The process for such a transfer is as follows:
1. The Master Fee Schedule is amended to include the amount of the fee and a cross-
reference to the code.
2. The Municipal Code is amended to remove the actual amount of the fee and to refer
instead to the Master Fee Schedule.
Thus, the code retains the authorization for the fee, but the fees themselves are all listed in a
single document. Aside from convenience this provides for the public, it also lessens the
possibility of inconsistencies in the application or updating of the fees on the part of City
staff.
A number of fees currently referenced only in the Municipal Code are proposed for
inclusion in the Master Fee Schedule in Phase I of the fee review. It is anticipated that
additional fees to be transferred to the Master Fee Schedule may be identified in Phases II
and III of the fee review. In conjunction with Phase III, a single ordinance cleaning up and
removing the duplicate entries from the Municipal Code will be presented for Council
consideration.
Master Fee Schedule - Proposed Update - Summary
The Master Fee Schedule currently consists of 17 chapters, as summarized below. In
conjunction with this comprehensive update, a number of structural/organizational changes
to the document itself are recommended. These changes include creation of new chapters to
ensure all fees collected by the City are represented in the Schedule, as well as transfer of
specific fee items between chapters to better fit the new organization of the document. A
new format for the document itself is also recommended, in an effort to improve readability
and usability. The new format divides the document into chapters and sections, with a
separate 'Fee Bulletin' document for each section.
Additional improvements to the document include relocation of all appendices and
supporting documents to the main body of the document as well as standardized full cost
recovery language throughout. In all phases of the Master Fee Schedule review, deposit
schedules for all variable (full cost recovery) fees will be added to the document. These
schedules have not historically been provided in the Master Fee Schedule. Inclusion of the
deposit schedules will improve transparency regarding the true costs associated with these
deposit based services.
The following tables (Table 1 and Table 2) list the Schedule structure, along with either a
short description of the fee changes proposed at this time or the planned phase of the fee
review the item will be included in. Table 1 provides this information following the current
Schedule structure. Table 2 provides this information following the new Schedule structure.
A short description of the changes included in Phase I of the update follows the tables.

Master Fee Schedule - Phase I Update - Detail
The proposed Master Fee Schedule is included as Attachment 2 of this report. All fee
updates recommended in Phase I are consistent with the target cost recovery levels in the
proposed Citywide Cost Recovery Policy (Attachment 1).
To follow is a discussion of the fee updates and transfers proposed in Phase 1. Chapters
unmodified at this time have been excluded from this discussion.
Chapter 1 - General
This introductory chapter includes general fee schedule information, including
procedures for fee waivers. The chapter has been expanded to include an overview of the
City's cost recovery system, as well as a listing of all current fully burdened hourly rates
applicable in the City.
This chapter also provides median income data necessary to determine eligibility for City
programs or fee schedules restricted to low income households. The data provided has
been updated to reflect the most recent schedule published by the federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development.
Chapter 2 - General Government Fees
This chapter has been re-titled and is now divided into "Records, Documents &
Research", "Administrative Fees" and "Passport Fees".
Updated research and document fees are recommended to bring the schedule into
compliance with the Public Records Act and to account for changes to service delivery
occurring since the last comprehensive review of the Schedule. The fee for copies of
official records is recommended to increase from $0.15 per page to $1.00 for the first
page, and $0.10 for each additional page. Updates to the fees for digital records are
recommended to reflect current digital media (CDs, DVDs, and other media as
requested). No fee modification is recommended for annual subscriptions to (1)
agendas/minutes for meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission or
Redevelopment Agency or (2) business license listings. An adjustment to the fee for GIS
maps (increasing from $20/plot to $25/plot) is recommended to account for recent
increases in supply and maintenance costs for the City's plotters.
A number of existing fees are for services no longer offered by the City, and are
recommended for elimination from the schedule including:
1. Annual agenda/minutes subscription for City commissions
2. Transcripts of public meetings
3. Fax transmissions
4. Mainframe report printouts
5. Tape recording set-up

Document fees specific to Engineering and Police functions have been transferred to the
Engineering and Police chapters of the Schedule. The actual fee amounts for the
Engineering and Police documents will be reviewed in conjunction with Phase II and III
of the fee study, respectively.
The current version of the Fee Schedule does not have a section specific to Finance fees.
Creation of this section in Chapter 2 of the Schedule will provide ease of reference for
City staff and the public. A number of Finance fees are recommended for inclusion in
this section, including:
1. Returned Check Fee
2. Delinquent Payment Penalty
3. Certified Mail Fee
4. Small Claims Court Collection Charges
5. Check Reissuance Fee
6. Duplicate Payroll Record Fee
7. Lien Recording Fee
8. Recorded Item Non-Payment Penalty
9. Lien Payoff Demand Letter Fee
10. Lien Release Fee
California Civil Code limits the fees collectible by the City for returned check charges.
The proposed fees of $25 for the first check returned, and an additional $35 for each
subsequent check returned are the maximum amount allowable. The City already
collects these fees as authorized under the Civil Code.
A standardized delinquent payment penalty is also proposed. A number of fees collected
by the City have standalone delinquent payment penalties. Approval of this item will
create a standard delinquent payment penalty for all City charges. As the review of the
Schedule continues, an effort will be made to eliminate standalone delinquency penalties
leaving only the citywide standard. The basic penalty proposed is 10% of the delinquent
invoice amount, with an additional monthly delinquency charge of 1.5%, and an
additional $10 collections fee for accounts over 90 days delinquent.
The Small Claims Court Collection charges proposed are set to recoup only the direct
costs incurred in the court process, including costs for process servers and court fees as
may be determined by the State court system.
A check reissuance fee of $25 per check is proposed. This includes $8 to recover 3rd
party stop payment bank charges and $17 to reimburse the City for staff time expended
processing the check reissuance. Full cost recovery for providing this service is
estimated at $48, with the proposed fee of $25 reflecting cost recovery of approximately
11-16
n

52%. This subsidy is recommended because setting the fee at full cost recovery would
likely create a hardship for the fee payers.
A Duplicate Payroll Record fee of $10 for regular processing (10 business days) and $25
for expedited processing (2 business days) is proposed. The purpose of this fee item is to
recover the City's cost incurred preparing duplicate W-2s for employees. Charging a fee
for this service is authorized by the IRS, and fees for this service are becoming more
common. Full cost recovery for providing this service is estimated at $20 per record
prepared.
Items 7 through 10 relate to the placement and release of liens for non-payment of City
charges. As proposed, the City would charge a $10 fee for each account submitted to the
County for recordation of a lien. An additional charge of $15 per account would be
assessed if the account is not brought current and the City submits the account to the
County for collection via the property tax bill. These charges will reimburse the City for
staff time expended recording the lien and submitting the accounts to the County. The
final two fees proposed are a Lien Payoff Demand Letter and a Lien Release fee. A Lien
Payoff Demand Letter fee of $25 for regular processing (10 business days) and $50 for
expedited processing (2 business days) is proposed. This will reimburse the City for staff
time expended by the Finance Department in calculating the total payoff amount due and
preparing a letter to this effect. The Lien Release fee, proposed at $25 per account, will
reimburse the City for time expended by the City Clerk's Office in processing and
recording the release of the lien.
A new City Clerk fee for Document Certifications is recommended, and all Passport fees
have been transferred to this chapter (from Chapter XVI). No change to the Passport fees
is recommended at this time.
The City currently charges no fee to residents or organizations for Special Event Permits,
Block Party Permits, or Professional Filming Permits. The Office of Communications,
under the auspices of the City Manager, reviews and approves special events and block
parties per Council Policy 102-04. The Office also administers the City's Professional
Filming Permit program. Special events permitted by the City include parades,
community festivals, fun runs, street fairs and assemblies of more than one hundred
people on City owned, controlled or maintained property. Administration of these
programs requires the coordination and time of the City's Communications Coordinator,
who works with a number of City departments to ensure all events comply with City
regulations and ordinances. Permit processing fees are proposed for these services as
follows:
1. Special Event Permit
a) Per event, without street closure: $150
b) Per event, with street closure: $300
2. Block Party Permit
a) Per event: $50
11-17
JUNE 8, 2010, ItemJL
Page 18 of23
3. Professional Filming Permit
a) Per day, less than or equal to 10 cast & crew members: $150
b) Per day, more than 10 cast & crew members: $300
In order to encourage community events, all of the above proposed fees reflect cost
recovery between 40% and 50% of full cost.
In addition to permit processing fees for these services, public safety, maintenance and
traffic engineering services are provided by the City on a full cost recovery basis.
Deposits for these services of $500 for Special Events and $1,000 for Professional
Filming Permits are proposed. Any funds remaining on account upon event completion
will be refunded to the depositor.
A detailed comparison of the current and proposed fees is included in Attachment 3.
Chapter 3 - Animal Control Fees
Chapter 3 will be included in Phase III of the Master Fee Schedule review. The only
modification proposed at this time relates to fees and deposits for adoption of unaltered
animals. Per S30503 of the California Food and Agriculture Code, no shelter can sell or
give away an unaltered animal. Fees and deposits related to unaltered animals are
therefore no longer necessary and are recommended for elimination from the Schedule.
Chapter 6 - Police Fees
Chapter 6 will be included in Phase III of the Master Fee Schedule review. The only
modification proposed at this time is the addition of the Emergency Response fee. This
fee is currently authorized in the Municipal Code and is recommended for inclusion in
the fee schedule for ease of reference by staff and the public.
Chapter 7 - Recreation Fees
The proposed fee schedule includes a limited number of adjustments to Chapter 7, with
comprehensive analysis and update anticipated in Phase III of the Master Fee Schedule
review. The modifications currently proposed reflect recent changes to recreation facility
and program offerings. Removal of all fees associated with Chula Vista Youth Center
and Therapeutics programming is recommended, as these services are no longer offered
by the City. Addition of new rates for facilities recently constructed at Otay Recreation
Center is also recommended, with rates set consistent with similar facilities at other
locations. A new fee for the Morning Fitness program at the Otay Fitness Center is also
proposed.
In addition to updating the fee schedule to reflect additions and deletions of facility and
program offerings, minor adjustments are recommended for a few ongoing facilities and
programs. The list of facilities available for rental at Norman Park Senior Center has
been updated to better reflect the space available (in place of individual rental rates for
various classrooms, the fee schedule now reflects either full or half rental of Cornel Hall
11-18
JUNE 8, 2010, Item~
Page 19 of23
only). In addition, consolidation of the fees for all age groups using the City's fitness
centers is recommended (previously offered a reduced rate for ages 14-18). Lastly,
private swim lesson fees are recommended for collection on an hourly basis, instead of a
flat rate per session. This modification allows greater flexibility in providing this service
to the community. A detailed comparison of the current and proposed fees is included in
Attachment 3.
Chapter 10 - Building Fees
The City is conducting a fee study for all development and construction related fees. Fee
study findings will be presented to Council for consideration as Phase II of the Master
Fee Schedule review. Council presentation is expected to occur this summer. The
Building Fee chapter is being reviewed in conjunction with this fee study. At this time,
the only modifications recommended are the addition of Code Enforcement fees
previously authorized in the Municipal Code, including Administrative Citations and
Reinspection fees.
Chapter 11 - Engineering Fees
Chapter 11 has been divided into three sections: "General Engineering Fees"; "Plan
Review & Permit Fees"; and "Street & Tree Fees". Fees included in the General
Engineering and Plan Review & Permit Fee sections are included in the pending
development and construction fee study and will be updated in Phase II of the Master Fee
Schedule review.
In the current phase of the Schedule review, transfer of fees for Wireless Transmission
Facilities in the Public Right of Way from the Planning Chapter to the Engineering
Chapter is proposed to better align this fee with the staff providing the associated
services. The chapter has also been updated to include a Work Without a Permit fee.
This fee is already authorized in the Municipal Code, and is recommended for inclusion
in the Schedule for ease of reference.
Fees associated with the formation of Community Facilities Districts have also been
added to this Chapter. The City currently charges formation costs on an hourly full cost
recovery reimbursement basis, along with a 1 % origination charge (per Council Policy
505-02). Fee items to this effect have been added to the Schedule for ease of reference.
In addition, fees for prepayment processing and direct payment processing are proposed.
The Prepayment Processing fee will reimburse the City for staff time expended
processing prepayment of special taxes owed. The Direct Payment Processing fee will be
charged to property owners that are delinquent in their payment of property taxes,
requesting the ability to pay their special taxes owed directly to the City (instead of
through the County). The Prepayment fee is proposed at $500 per parcel, and the
proposed Direct Payment Processing fee ranges from $150 to $3,000 depending on the
delinquency amount. The base fee schedule includes processing payments in up to two
special districts. An add-on fee of $50 will be charged for each additional district
included in the direct payment.
11-19

Page 20 of 23
A comprehensive review of the Street and Trees section was conducted, and a number of
fee updates are recommended. All proposed fees were calculated to recover the full cost
of providing these services, with the exception of the Tree Planting fee (standard). This
fee has historically been subsidized to encourage the planting of trees, and no
modification to the fee is recommended at this time. A detailed comparison of the
current and proposed fees is included in Attachment 3.
Chapter 12 - Sewer Fees
This chapter has been divided into "Construction & Development", "Sewer Service
Charges", and "Appendices & Reference". Updates to the fees associated with sewer
lateral construction and connection to the sewer system are recommended. All proposed
fees were calculated to recover the full cost of providing these services. A detailed
comparison of the current and proposed fees is included in Attachment 3.
a. Sewer Service Rates
The continuation of previously-approved Sewer Service rates is also proposed in the
current phase of the Master Fee Schedule update. The Sewer Service Charge is paid by
all users connected to the City's wastewater collection system. Revenues generated by
this fee are used to fund the cost of wastewater treatment, system maintenance and
operation. On February 5, 2008, City Council considered adoption of the 2008 Rate
Study, which included a 5-year financial outlook, with proposed annual rate increases
through fiscal year 2011-12. As a result of unresolved issues, including the potential
upgrade of the Point Lorna Wastewater Treatment Plant, Council only approved the first
three years of proposed rates (ending in fiscal year 2009-10). Per the 2010 Cost of
Service and Rate Study Update for Sewer Services (Attachment 4), application of the
fiscal year 2009-10 Sewer Service rates will generate revenues sufficient to offset
anticipated expenditures in fiscal year 2010-11. Continuation of the rates is therefore
recommended, and the proposed Master Fee Schedule has been updated to reflect this
continuation. The Public Works Department will re-evaluate the rates in the coming year
to determine what adjustments, if any, will be required in fiscal year 2011-12 and
beyond.
The current Sewer Service rates were adopted in compliance with the requirements of
California Constitution Article XIIID, section 6. As stated above, staff has determined
that the current rates will generate sufficient revenues, and it is not necessary to increase
the rates, or to revise the methodology by which the rates were calculated, at this time.
Accordingly, staff is recommending that the current Sewer Service rates continue in
effect, beginning July 1, 2010, and remain in effect until such time as an increase or other
modification is warranted. Continuing the previously-approved Sewer Service fees in
effect, without interruption, is necessary for preserving the health, safety and welfare of
the City's residents, in that, the revenues generated by those fees are necessary to ensure
that the City can continue to operate and maintain the City's wastewater treatment
system.

b. Sewer Capacity Charge
Also included in Chapter 12 of the Master Fee Schedule is the City's Sewer Capacity
Charge. This fee is collected from applicants either connecting to the City's sewer
system or increasing the volume of flow contributed to the sewer system. No
modification to the Capacity fee is recommended at this time. However, a modification
to the fee calculation for restaurants is proposed. This modification will improve the
correlation between the fee charged and the actual flows generated by restaurant uses. A
detailed discussion of this proposed change is included as Attachment 5.
Chapter 13 - Parking Fees
Originally detailing park (open space) fees, this chapter has been updated to provide
parking fee information, including parking meter rates, locations of parking meter zones,
and parking meter citation rates. With the exception of a new state pass-through penalty,
these fees are all currently authorized by the Municipal Code, and are recommended for
inclusion in the Master Fee Schedule for ease of reference. The new fee proposed is
pursuant to SB 1407, which went into effect January 1, 2009. SB 1407 requires all
agencies that process parking violations submit a State Court Construction Penalty of
$4.50 per parking citation to the county treasurer. Approval of this new pass-through fee
item will ensure the City is able to comply with the provisions of SB 1407 without
impacting local citation revenues.
Chapter 14 - Planning
As previously discussed, the City is in the process of a fee study for development and
construction related fees. The fees in Chapter 14 are included in this study, and any
recommended adjustments will be included in Phase II of the Master Fee Schedule
review. The only modification currently proposed for this chapter is the transfer of the
fee for Wireless Telecommunications Facilities in the Public Right of Way to the
Engineering Chapter (Chapter 11) to better align this fee with the staff providing the
servIce.
Chapter 16 - Development Impact and In-Lieu Fees
This chapter has been retitled from "Other Fees" to "Development Impact & In-Lieu
Fees". Previously included fees for Passport services have been transferred to Chapter 2
(General Government Fees). The Development Impact Fee section has been expanded to
include all development impact and in-lieu fees collected by the City. In the past, this
section of the Master Fee Schedule referred the reader to enabling ordinances and did not
list the fee programs or current rate schedules. Inclusion of all development impact fee
rates is recommended for ease of reference.
In addition, fees associated with the Park Acquisition and Development (PAD) fee and
Traffic Signal Participation fee programs have been transferred to this chapter from their
previous locations in Chapters 13 and 11, respectively. The PAD fee is an in-lieu fee
collected from developers and is very similar in nature to the City's development impact
11-21

JUNE 8, 2010, Item--,,-,--

fees. The Traffic Signal fee is collected to mitigate impacts of development and is more
appropriate for inclusion in this chapter of the Master Fee Schedule.
Chapter 17 - Solid Waste & Recycling Fees
Chapter 17 was previously dedicated to fees collected by the Chula Vista Nature Center.
The City no longer operates the Nature Center and is therefore no longer responsible for
setting the admission or facility rental rates for this facility. The chapter has been retitled
"Solid Waste & Recycling Fees".
Per a Franchise Agreement with the City, Allied Waste Services provides solid waste and
recycling services within the Chula Vista city boundary. The current rate schedule has
been added to the Master Fee Schedule for ease of reference for the public; however, the
approval process for these rates will remain unchanged.
A number of other existing solid waste and recycling related fees have also been added to
this chapter, including the Delinquent Payment Penalty, Exemption Inspection fee, and
Service Restart fee. The only new fee being proposed for this chapter at this time is a
Composting Bin fee. The City's Environmental Services Program will be starting a
strong organics management program in 2010, including a backyard composting
component for those interested in applying composting benefits to their own yard. Staff
purchased backyard composters for $100 dollars (stacking model) and $80 (tumbler
model) and recommends charging a $35 fee to residents (both models). The subsidy for
these units is proposed in order to encourage compo sting in the community and will be
made using restricted funds, not General Fund monies. The minor fee amount
recommended is intended to ensure that the units are only supplied to residents likely to
use them. In addition, staff will be recommending Less Toxic Gardening classes and
Master Composter classes and then offering the composters to the class attendees. The
subsidy will not be available to non-residents; bins will be made available to them at cost.
Next Steps
The next phase of the Master Fee Schedule review will include all development and
construction processing fees. This update will include fees in the Building, Planning,
Engineering, and Fire chapters of the Schedule. This fee study is currently underway and
presentation of the fee study findings and recommended modifications to the Master Fee
Schedule are planned for summer 2010. The fees proposed at that time will reflect the
Fiscal Year 2010-11 operating budget for the City, and no mid-year fee adjustment will
be necessary.
In October 2010, the Schedule will be updated to reflect the Fiscal Year 2010-11 fully
burdened hourly rates for all staff, as well as the previously authorized annual index
updates of the City's development impact and in-lieu fees (Chapter 16).
The final phase of the Master Fee Schedule review will include public safety and
community service fees and is planned for Council consideration in Spring 2011. In
conjunction with this update, Council will also be presented with an ordinance cleaning
11-22
I'

up fee amounts and references in the Chu1a Vista Municipal Code and a resolution
formalizing the annual index based update process. The first annual index based update
of the Schedule will occur in October 2011.
Future fee reviews and updates will be conducted in accordance with the Citywide Cost
Recovery Policy, as adopted.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently the 500 foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(l) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMP ACT
The proposed fees will not go into effect for 60 days. There is no impact in the current
fiscal year.
ONGOING FISCAL IMP ACT
Approval of the proposed Citywide Cost Recovery Policy and Amended Master Fee
Schedule support optimal cost recovery and enhanced revenues for the City. Ongoing
impact to revenues will vary based upon actual requests for fee based services.
Updated fees for services provided by the City Clerk's Office and Finance Department
are anticipated to result in modest revenue increases. The creation of new Special
Events, Block Party, and Professional Filming permits is also anticipated to result in
increased revenues for the City. Over the next year, staff will closely monitor requests
for these services. Fee adjustments may be warranted in the future to ensure the optimal
balance of cost recovery while supporting these valuable community events.
Adjustments to Recreation fees included in this initial phase of the fee schedule review
are not anticipated to significantly impact departmental revenues. Adjustments to fees in
the Engineering chapter are anticipated to result in minor revenue increases, with the
greatest increase in fees related to sewer lateral construction and connection.
Approval of the Ordinance and Urgency Ordinance continuing the previously-approved
Sewer Service rates through fiscal year 2010-11 will ensure the collection of sufficient
revenues to offset anticipated costs of wastewater treatment, system maintenance and
operations.

BACKGROUND:
I DATED:
As the City continues its efforts toward a sustainable budget that will withstand uncertain economic
times in the long term, it is appropriate that cost recovery levels be established for services for which
a fee is charged. The foundation of effective cost recovery is a well conceived, regularly reviewed
policy. Such a policy provides a guideline for setting fees given the full cost of each service, allowing
optimum cost-recovery rates for certain services and alleviating unintended subsidization of these
services from General Fund resources.
A cost recovery policy provides guidelines for setting fees given the full cost of service. It does not
bind policy makers to increasing or decreasing fees, but provides a rationale for doing so. The lower
fees are set relative to full cost recovery, the more General Fund dollars are required to maintain the
serVIce. This additional support must then be weighed against the other needs for General Fund
resources, including needs which may not have similar cost recovery options.
While a primary mission of government is to satisfy community needs, many city services solely benefit
specific individuals or businesses. It has been the general policy of the City Council that the public at
large should not subsidize activities of such a private interest through general tax revenues. Therefore,
the City has established user fees to best ensure that those who use a proprietary service pay for that
service in proportion to the benefits received. With few exceptions, such as those services provided for
low-income residents, fees have been set to enable the City to recover the full cost of providing those
servIces.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a citywide cost recovery policy, including:
1. Provisions for ongoing review;
2. Process for establishing cost recovery levels (including factors to be considered and general
concepts); and
3. Target cost recovery levels for each program offered by the City.

POLICY:
Provision for Ongoing Review
Fees will be periodically reviewed in order to keep pace with changes in the cost of living and
methods or levels of service delivery. In order to facilitate a fact-based approach to this review, a
comprehensive analysis of the city's costs and fees should be made at least every five years. In the
interim, fees will be adjusted annually each October 1, by either:
1. Annual change in the City's operating budget; or
2. Annual change in the San Diego area's Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers
All updates will be based upon the July to July change in the subject index for the prior year (or
portion thereof in the instance of mid-year fee updates).
Process for Establishing Cost Recovery Levels
Factors to be Considered
The following factors will be considered when setting cost recovery levels for user fees.
1. Community-wide versus special benefit
The use of general purpose revenue is appropriate for community-wide services while user
fees are appropriate for services that are of special benefit to easily identified individuals or
groups. Full cost recovery is not always appropriate.
2. Service recipient versus service driver
After considering community-wide versus special benefit for the serVIce, the concept of
service recipient versus service driver should also be considered.
Particularly for services associated with regulated activities (development review, code
enforcement), from which the community primarily benefits, cost recovery from the 'driver'
of the need for the service (applicant, violator) is appropriate.
3. Consistency with City public policies and objectives
City policies and Council goals focused on long term improvements to community quality of

promote certain activities, or provide funding for pursuit of specific community goals. For
example, the City has historically subsidized building permits for photovoltaic systems in
order to promote their use in the community.
I DATED:
4. Elasticity of demand
Pricing of services can significantly impact demand. At full cost recovery, this has the
specific advantage of ensuring that the City is providing services for which there is a genuine
market, and that it is not over-stimulated by artificially low prices.
Conversely, high levels of cost recovery may negatively impact the delivery of services to
lower income groups. This negative feature can work against public policy, especially if the
services are specifically targeted to low income groups.
5. Feasibility of collection
Although it may be determined that a high level of cost recovery may be appropriate for
specific services, it may be impractical or too costly to establish a system to identify and
charge the user. The method of assessing and collecting fees should be as simple as possible
in order to reduce the administrative cost of collection.
General Concepts
1. Revenues should not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service.
2. Cost recovery goals should be based on the total cost of delivering the service, as calculated
using the fully burdened hourly rates developed in the City's Cost Allocation Plan (CAP),
including direct costs, departmental administration costs and organization wide supports costs
such as accounting, personnel, informational technology, legal services, fleet maintenance and
Insurance.
3. The method of assessing and collecting fees should be as simple as possible in order to reduce
the administrative cost of collection.
4. Rate structures should be sensitive to the 'market' for similar services as well as to smaller,
infrequent users of the service.
5. A unified approach should be used in determining cost recovery levels for various programs
based on the factors discussed above.

Determination of Cost Recovery Levels
Level I: 0% - 30%
Low cost recovery levels (0%-30%) are appropriate under the following circumstances:
1. There is no intended relationship between the amount paid and benefit received. Almost all
'social service' programs fall into this category.
I DATED:
2. Collecting fees is not cost effective or will significantly impact the efficient delivery of the
serVIce.
3. There is no intent to limit the use (or entitlement to) the service. Again, most 'social service'
programs fit into this category as well as many public safety services. Historically, access to
neighborhood and community parks would also fit into this category.
4. The service is non-recurring, generally delivered on a 'peak-demand' basis, and is not readily
available from a private sector source. Many public safety services also fall into this category.
5. Collecting fees would discourage compliance with regulatory requirements and adherence is
primarily self-identified, and as such, failure to comply would not be readily detected by the
City. Many small-scale licenses and permits fall into this category (hot water heaters, garage
sale permits, etc.)
6. The public at large benefits even if they are not the direct users of the service.
Level II: 30% - 70%
Services with factors associated with both Level I and Level III cost recovery levels would be
subsidized at a mid-level of cost recovery (30%-70%). See Level I and Level III sections of this
Policy for a description of these factors.
Level III: 70% - 100%
Higher cost recovery levels (70%-100%) are appropriate under the following circumstances:
1. The service is similar to service provided through the private sector.
2. Other private or public sector alternatives could or do exist for the delivery of the service.
3. For equity or demand management purposes, it is intended that there be a direct relationship
between the amount paid and the level and cost of the service received.
4. The use of the service is specifically discouraged. Police responses to disturbances or false
alarms might fall into this category.
5. The service is regulatory in nature and voluntary compliance is not expected to be the primary
method of detecting failure to meet regulatory requirements. Building permit, plan checks,
and subdivision review fees for large projects would fall into this category.

Chapter 1- General
Introduction
City of Chula Vista Finance Department
276 Fourth Avenue, Chula Vista, CA 91910
GENERAL
Section 3.42.010 of the Chula Vista Municipal
Code states that the City Council shall adopt, by
resolution, a Master Fee Schedule, indicating
therein the fees for all services, administrative
acts and other legally required fees, which
resolution may be amended from time to time and
shall be effective upon first reading and approval;
provided, however, such resolutions may specify
therein their applicability, if any, to applications
currently in the process of review.
A copy of the Master Fee Schedule shall be
maintained in the office of the City Clerk and in
each department of the City.
Print copies of the Master Fee Schedule may be
purchased.
Fee per printed schedule ...............................$6.00
DELINQUENT PAYMENT
Unless otherwise specified by ordinance,
resolution, Master Fee Schedule or invoice, a
payment shall be considered delinquent or late if it
is not received within thirty (30) days of billing.
Delinquent payments shall be subject to the
Delinquent Payment Penalty detailed in Fee
Bulletin 13-100.
FEE WAIVERS
The fees set forth in the Master Fee Schedule may
be waived or deferred, in whole or in part, by the
Waiving Authority, as defined herein below, in
accordance with the following procedures:
Any person requesting a reduction, waiver or
deferral, or a combination thereof, of a fee herein
charged shall request said adjustment in writing,
addressed to the Waiving Authority, and shall set
forth therein, with specificity, the reasons for
requesting said abatement of all or any portion of
the fees.
The Waiving Authority shall conduct a public
hearing, notice of which is not required to be
published. Notice of said public hearing shall be
given to the applicant and to any party or parties
requesting notice of same.
FEE BULLETIN
1-100
May 2010
Prior to adjusting all or any portion of a fee
established in the master fee schedule, the
Waiving Authority shall find that either:
(1) the fee, when applied in the particular
case under review, would require the
applicant to pay an amount which is
significantly and disproportionately larger
than other fee payers given the rights of
enjoyment of, or benefits of, the facility or
program for which the fee is paid, or
(2) the applicant will suffer a peculiar
economic hardship or other injustice from
the payment of the fee which outweighs,
when balanced against, the need of the
City for revenue and the need for a
uniform method of recovering same from
those against whom it is imposed.
The Waiving Authority shall impose such terms
and conditions on the adjustment as deemed
appropriate, and shall given due consideration to
terms and conditions involving interest on amount
deferred, security to assure the eventual
collection.
Waiving Authority, as the term is used herein, shall
mean the City Manager, or his designee, if the
amount of such waiver is less than or equal to the
greater of (1) $2,500 or (2) 25% of the fee
imposed by the Master Fee Schedule. If the
amount of the waiver is greater than the greater of
$2,500 or 25% off the original fee imposed by the
Master Fee Schedule, the Waiving Authority, as
used herein shall mean the City Council.

COST RECOVERY
The Master Fee Schedule reports fees for services
that are provided to our citizens and visitors. The
cost of providing these services includes both
direct staff costs and various support and
overhead costs. Fees that do not recover the full
cost of providing services result in a subsidy which
shifts funds away from critical, high priority needs
such as public safety initiatives and infrastructure
maintenance.
In November 1982 the City Council adopted
Resolution 11063 adopting a policy of full cost
recovery, under which both the direct and
overhead costs associated with providing public
services are identified and, when possible,
recovered. To facilitate this process, City staff
annually develops a set of fully burdened hourly
rates (FBHR), providing a convenient method for
calculating the full costs of services. A discussion
of the costs included in the calculation of the
FBHR, as well as the current fiscal year rate for
each classification in the City is detailed in Fee
Bulletin 1-200.
The City's fully burdened rates serve as a basis for
identifying the true cost of providing services,
calculating fixed fee levels, and understanding the
fiscal impacts of fee subsidies.
The City's fully burdened rates are not subject to
annual Council adoption and are included in the
Master Fee Schedule for informational purposes
only. Please contact the Finance Department to
confirm current rates.
1. Full Cost Recovery Deposits
Significant variances in staff time required to
provide certain services make application of a
fixed fee schedule impracticable. In these
instances, the applicant is charged for services
provided on a reimbursement basis, using the fully
burdened hourly staff rates. These
reimbursement based fees are designated in the
Master Fee Schedule as "full cost recovery".
Initial Deposit
For each such fee, an initial deposit is required.
The average initial deposit amount, or an initial
deposit schedule, is provided in the Master Fee
Schedule for each full cost recovery deposit based
fee. In all instances, the department shall
determine the appropriate deposit for each
application and shall attempt to limit that deposit
to a reasonable amount.
Additional Deposits
If, at any time, it appears that the deposit amount
will be insufficient to cover accumulated City
costs, the applicant shall deposit additional
amounts as required by the Department Head.
Consultant Services
If the City determines that consultants are
required to assist in the processing of any permit,
the City reserves the right to retain and pay such
consultants from fees collected from the
applicant.
Release of Deposit
Any funds remaining on deposit at the time of the
completion or withdrawal of the application shall
be returned to the depositor, after accounting for
expenses, including overhead, incurred to date.

CITY OF
CHULA VISTA
BACKGROUND
In providing public services to its citizens and
visitors the costs incurred by the City of Chula
Vista extend far beyond staff salaries. These costs
can be divided into direct and overhead costs.
Direct Costs
Direct costs are costs that can be specifically
identified with a particular activity, project or
program. These costs generally include salaries
and wages; fringe benefits and paid time off;
maintenance and operation costs; and a building
use allowance.
Fringe benefits for full time City employees include
participation in the California Public Employee
Retirement Systems (CaIPERS), medical
insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and
Medicare. Paid time off includes vacation time,
holidays, sick leave, compensatory time, and
management leave.
Maintenance and operation costs are determined
at the department and section level. These costs
include most, but not all, supplies and service
costs, fixed asset replacement, and utilities.
The building use allowance provides a means of
allocating the cost of city building to a period
benefitting from the asset use. The allowance is
calculated based upon the City's schedule of
depreciating buildings as reported in the Certified
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) assuming a 50
year life-span.
Overhead Costs
Overhead costs include both departmental and
citywide support staff expenses. Departmental
overhead includes administrative and supervisory
support staff and is allocated by division within
each department.
Citywide overhead includes services provided by
support departments. These departments do not
generally provide services directly to the public but
are essential to the operation of the City. In
addition, certain budget items within departmental
budgets are of citywide benefits and are added to
the citywide overhead allocable costs. Citywide
overhead costs are allocated at the department
level, based upon various drivers. The specific
FEE BULLETIN
1-200
May 2010
drivers applied are selected to best reflect the
relative benefit received.
FULLY BURDENED HOURLY RATES
City staff annually adopts a set of fully burdened
hourly rates (FBHR), providing a convenient
method for calculating the full cost of providing
services to citizens and visitors. Rates are
calculated by department, section, and
classification.
These rates serve as a basis for identifying the
true cost of providing services, calculating fixed
fee levels, and understanding the fiscal impacts of
fee subsidies.
The City's fully burdened hourly rates are not
subject to annual Council adoption and are
included in the Master Fee Schedule for
informational purposes only. Please contact the
Finance Department to confirm current rates.
The current schedule of fully burdened hourly
rates is as follows:

based on the lowest "Winter Average", which is the
lowest amount of water consumed during the
preceding winter months (November through
April). The rate shall be in accordance with the
adopted rate schedule. Each single family
dwelling will be charged a fixed service charge and
a variable commodity rate.
A rate of return (ROR) of 90% is assumed for all
singe family dwelling units.

1. Rate of Return
Unless otherwise established by an approved
variance, wastewater discharge shall be assumed
to be 90% of water consumed. Therefore, where
commercial or industrial facilities are billed on the
basis of wastewater discharge, the regular sewer
service rate shall be multiplied by 0.90.
2. Wastewater Strength
Wastewater strength categories will be determined
using either Table 2-2 "City of Chula Vista
Compilation of Published Data on Sewer User
Strength classifications" (excerpted from the
Wastewater User & Rate Restructuring by PBS&J
dated May 2003) or actual sampling results, as
determined by the City Engineer. Dischargers who
believe that their total suspended solids
concentration is sufficiently low to qualify for a
different category of sewer service charge billing
may apply to the City Manager in writing for a
variance in accordance with Chula Vista Municipal
Code Section 13.14.130. When there is a change
in the rate payer, the category will be re-evaluated.
3. Tax Bill
Charges for single-family residential dwellings,
multiple family dwelling and commercial industrial
discharges collected on the Tax bill shall be based
on a recent 12 month water usage period.
4. High Volume Dischargers
Premises that discharge over 25,000 gallons per
day (gpd) are classified as high volume
dischargers. These dischargers shall be billed bi-
monthly by the City of Chula Vista. Wastewater
discharge shall be assumed to be 90 percent of
water consumed, unless established otherwise by
an approved variance.
The Sewer Service Charge is determined on an
individual basis, and is comprised of a Fixed
Service Charge (FSC) and a Variable Commodity
Charge (VCC). The FSC is based on the water
meter size and the VCC is calculated by multiplying
the Sewer Rate by the Volume of Sewer Discharge
in hundred cubic feet (HCF). The Sewer Rate is
determined by the strength of the discharge
(Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total
Suspended Solids (TSS)).
The Sewer Service Charge is calculated as follows:
FSC
+ VCC
Sewer Service Charge
FSC = Based on the water meter size
VCC = Sewer Rate ($jHCF) x Volume of Sewer
Discharge (HCF)
The Sewer Rate is subject to change. Said change
is usually necessitated by the increase in the cost
of wastewater treatment and the maintenance of
the City's sewer collection system. The Sewer
Rate is reviewed on a yearly basis.

5. Sewer Service Charge for Low Income
Households
Low Income Households (as defined in Fee
Bulletin 1-100) including renters of property who
are eligible to receive a reduced rate for monthly
sewer service charges, shall be billed a commodity
rate that is 70% of the prevailing rate. The
Finance Department of the City shall make
available the required application form and
process all applications. Application will require
the submittal of information on total household
income, the number of persons in the household
and the type of dwelling unit. Proof of total annual
income shall be furnished.
Requests for annual refunds shall be made by
eligible households between August 1 and
September 30 of each year for the past fiscal year
beginning July and ending in June. The applicant
will be notified of eligibility status within thirty (30)
days of application and if eligible, the refund
forwarded within ninety (90) days of application.
6. Sewer Service Variance Fees
The owner or occupant of any premises requesting
a variance from the sewer service charges
pursuant to the provisions of this section and the
rules and regulations approved by resolution of
the City Council shall pay a fee in the sum of

normal application requires a deposit, the normal
deposit is also double.
FULL COST RECOVERY
For all full cost recovery fee items, an initial
deposit shall be collected to cover the City's full
cost, including overhead, incurred in conjunction
with review and processing as requested by
applicant. Additional funds may be collected, as
required, to cover City costs. Should the
application be withdrawn at any time, the deposit
shall be adjusted to cover the City's actual costs,
including overhead, up to that time. Any funds
remaining on deposit at the time of the completion
or withdrawal of the application shall be returned
to the depositor, after accounting for expenses
incurred to date.
See Master Fee Schedule Fee Bulletins 1-100 and
1-200 for additional discussion of full cost
recovery and current hourly rates.

ExECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 ExECUTIVE SUMMARY
City staff has conducted an update of the cost of service for next Fiscal Year 2010-2011 to ensure
necessary sewer revenue funds are collected to maintain and operate the City's wastewater
collection system. In addition, staff has verified that the sewer revenues generate sufficient
funds to pay for the treatment of wastewater transported to the City of San Diego's
Metropolitan Wastewater Department (METRO) system. This report documents the results of
the study and recommends no sewer rate increases for FY 2010-2011.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the existing sewer rates, review and evaluate revenues
and revenue requirements ensuring the financial stability of the sewer enterprise. This report
will cover a one-year study period for 2010-2011, however 2011-2012 has been shown for
informational purposes only.
Throughout this update study, fiscal years will be termed as follows: Fiscal Year 2009-2010 (July
to June) is shown as FY 09-10, FY 2010, or just 2010 herein.
On February 5,2008, the City of Chula Vista adopted the first three years (which ends in June
2010) of a five-year rate plan (2008 Rate Study). This study was approved for only the first three
years due to unresolved issues, such as the potential upgrade of the Point Lorna Wastewater
Treatment Plant (PLWTP). Originally, the 2008 Rate Study assumed that the waiver from
secondary treatment levels would be continued for another 5 years for the PLWTP. Recently,
the PLWTP was granted another five-year waiver.
This financial plan was developed based on information that was readily available at this time
from both the City of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego. Staff recommends that the City re-
evaluate the performance of the final cost of services and revenues of the current fiscal year
2009-2010 to ensure that the fund maintains self-sufficiency, and further rebuilds the retained
earnings to an optimal level by FY 11-12.
The sewer service fees collected by the City of Chula Vista are primarily used to maintain and
operate the wastewater collection system as well as to pay for the cost of wastewater treatment.
The sewer service charge is made up of 3 components; the sewer service fee, the sewer facility
replacement fee and the storm drain fee. However, the storm drain fee was not analyzed in this
study. Revenues generated through the storm drain fee and sewer facilities replacement fee are
deposited into the Storm Drain Fund and Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund respectively.
1 .2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The City is currently serving approximately 48,000 individual customers with sewer service.
However, the study assumed that the number of projected accounts between FY 09 and FY
11 remains unchanged at 47,710, which is the same number of accounts as of the end of
Fiscal Year 2008-2009. This assumption was made in anticipation of a balance between the
number of new customers and a potential increase in vacancies from foreclosures and

ExECUTIVE SUMMARY
unsold new development. There has also being a significant decrease in sewer flows when
compared with the projected flows in the previous 2008 Rate Study for FY 10-11. Reduced
water usage primarily due to water conservation efforts and high vacancy rates resulted in
reduced projected revenues in fiscal year 2010-11. With all of this in consideration,
revenues to be collected are expected to remain the same, while the cost of treatment will
decrease.
2. Sewer utility revenues are principally derived from sewer service fees. Other revenue
sources include industrial waste permits, miscellaneous fees, and interest income among
others. The Operating Fund is currently self-supporting utilizing existing reserve balances.
3. The sewer utility's annual revenue requirements consist of operations and maintenance
(O&M) expenditures, routine capital outlays, write-offs of uncollectible accounts, and
transfers to the replacement fund and storm drain fund. O&M expenses, including capital
outlays, are projected to increase from $27,551,000 in FY 07-08 to $28,521,600 in FY 11-12 as
shown in Table 4. No significant increases in cost of services are expected for Fiscal Year
2010-2011. Actual O&M expenses in FY 08-09 as shown in Table 4 were substantially lower
when compared with the projected O&M expenses in the previous 2008 Rate Study. This
was accomplished primarily due to adjustments made in transfers out to the General Fund
and a credit adjustment made to the Metro payment in the amount of approximately $3.7
Million.
4. By definition, cost of service is the annualized revenue requirements net of revenue credits
from other miscellaneous sources that need to be met through sewer rates. The City's
estimated 2010-year cost of service to be met from sewer revenues totals $27,684,900. As
shown in Table 6, revenue derived from charges under current rates is estimated to be
$28,288,400 for FY 09-10 excluding revenues derived from Sewer Facilities Replacement
Charges and Storm Drain Charges. Other revenue sources including interest income and
transfers from the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund are estimated to be approximately
$825,800 as shown in Table 6. As a result, 2010 revenue derived from charges and other
revenues are expected to meet expenditures and retain a reserve cash balance of
approximately $1,429,300 ($28,288,400 + $825,800 - $27,684,900). For this reason, the adopted
rates for 2010 appear to be adequate meeting the required cost of services.
5. Although not the subject of this rate study, also of note is the Sewer Utility Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). Currently, the CIP for sewer utility projects are totaling
$12,750,441 over the next three years -from FY 09-10 through FY 11-12 as shown in Table 3.
Projects include annual sewer rehabilitation, and sewer improvements. To finance the
capital program, various funding sources are used, including sewer facility replacement
fund, Development Impact Funds, and existing balances in the capital funds. Consequently,
capital costs will be offset by other funding sources and hence do not affect this study.
6. The purchase of additional Metro capacity is not included toward current CIP as
negotiations are underway. A reserve has been created towards paying for additional
capacity, but it will not be adequate as additional debt may have to be issued to cover the

ExECUTIVE SUMMARY
remainder of capacity costs. This debt will be serviced by the Trunk Sewer Capital Reserve
Fund and will not affect rates detailed in this report.
7. The Sewer Facilities Replacement Fee for all users is currently billed at a rate of $0.18jHCF.
No changes to this fee are proposed for FY 2010-2011.
8. The average single-family residential (SFD) customer is estimated to have an average
monthly water usage of 10 hundred cubic feet (HCF) or 120 HCF per year. Table 17 shows a
comparison of typical SFD monthly sewer bills under the scenarios reviewed in this study.
Briefly, the average household pays $40.86 per month under the existing rates. No changes
to the average monthly bill are proposed for next fiscal year 2010-2011. Detailed charges for
other SFD accounts with varying water usage are shown in Table 17.
9. Based on the previous 2008 Rate Study, the single-family residential customer class has been
assigned a 90 percent return factor reflecting the assumption that only 90 percent of water
used will be conveyed through the sewer system. Therefore, a typical customer using 10
HCF of water will only be billed for sewer service based on a 90 percent return factor or 9
HCF. This reduction in billed volume is the reason for the reduction in the typical SFD bill.
No changes to this return factor are proposed next fiscal year 2010-2011.
10. The City of Chula Vista bills its customers in three different ways. Customers under Otay
Water District's ("Otay") jurisdiction are billed for water and sewer services monthly on the
same bill by Otay. Customers in Sweetwater Authority's (Sweetwater) jurisdiction who
reside in the pre-annexation area are billed for sewer services bi-monthly by the City's
Finance Department. The remaining customers who are in the Montgomery area of the City
who are in either Sweetwater's or CAL-American's jurisdiction are billed for sewer services
annually on the property tax bill by the City's Public Works Department. This study utilizes
the same baseline customer data that was used in the previous 2008 Rate Study.
11. Revenues will be sufficient to cover the projected expenditures in FY 2010-2011. Figure ES 2
below illustrates the difference between current and previous study estimates. The higher
line (red) reflects revenue estimates based on rates estimated in the previous 2008 Rate
Study, and the lower line (green) reflects revenue estimates based on proposed rates with no
increases for FY 10-11. Revenues and expenditures for FY 11-12 are shown for informational
purposes only.

12. Another important element that was taken into consideration in establishing the revenue
requirements is the restoration of a healthy operating retained earnings balance. The study
determined that with the projected revenues, retained earnings will continue to be adequate
for next fiscal year. Figure 2 below illustrates the desired reserve level set at a 180-day
working capital balance, in anticipation of potential disruptions of cash flows due to
possible changes in the billing methodology. That amount is roughly equivalent to the
City's semi-annually payment to Metro and also allows for an emergency reserve. Bond
rating agencies indicate reserves closer to 180 days are typical for utilities with higher bond
ratings.
13. Based on the analysis performed in this study, no rate increases are recommended for next
fiscal year 10-11. Revenue estimates are expected to exceed expenditures and 180-day
operating retained earnings would steadily be returning to recommended levels in FY 10-11.
In addition, the reserve level for the end of fiscal year 2008-2009 indicated a healthy
operating cash balance in the amount of approximately $7,529,458 as shown in Table 5.

ExECUTIVE SUMMARY
Typical Bills
The table below shows residential bills under existing and proposed rates for various
levels of winter periods water usage. The table recognizes that as of February 5, 2008
residential users will be assigned a 90% return factor to provide an allowance for winter
period irrigation usages. Figure ES-3 shows the distribution of residential customers by
usage levels from 1 hcf to 20 hcf. The figure shows that the average is not only 10 hcf
but the largest number of users has a sewer bill based on 10 hcf.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
The City of Chula Vista is the sewer and storm drain service provider to the residences and
commercial enterprises in its service area. The City is located eight miles south of the city of San
Diego and seven miles north of the Mexico border and covers approximately 50 square miles.
The city has grown at a rapid pace, primarily due to new development on its eastern side in
addition to in-fill development on the west. Recently growth has slowed, however.
Wastewater generated in the city is collected and sent to treatment facilities in Point Lorna and
South Bay operated by Metro. The City is billed by Metro based on the wastewater flow and
strength sent to these treatment plants.
In providing sewer service, the City incurs considerable expense related to the ongoing
operating and capital needs of the utility. Operating and capital expenditures change annually
because of the need for repairs and replacements to existing facilities, the need to improve
service to meet more stringent state and federal environmental compliance requirements, and to
stay abreast of inflationary trends. City staff has performed a rate study for next fiscal year lO-
II in recognition of the importance of financially planning for the costs to replace, improve, and
operate the sewer utility.
The City's priorities in the coming years include the acquisition of additional treatment
capacity. The City is currently evaluating a variety of options for meeting this need, some of the
options being considered include a.) purchase or lease of additional treatment capacity rights
from a member agency or agencies in the Metro system, b.) construction of an independent
wastewater reclamation facility or c.) facilitating the upsizing or acceleration of planned Metro
treatment facilities to accommodate the City's needs.
Although not part of this rate analysis given alternate funding sources, in addition, the City also
has plans for on-going upgrades and improvements of its municipal sewer system. All these
projects are included in the City's three-year capital improvement program. A major challenge
will be to balance the requirements of expanded infrastructure with available City revenues. All
planned expenditures will need prioritization to assure that financial resources are used in the
most effective way. The City will also conduct a level of service review to ensure that the level
of service being provided is optimized and that available resources are used judiciously.
1 .1 BACKGROUND
The City of Chula Vista along with 15 other participating agencies belongs to Metro. The
wastewater generated in the City of Chula Vista is collected and conveyed through the City's
extensive sewer collection system to treatment facilities in Point Lorna and Southbay. Chula
Vista's local collection system includes 11 pump stations and over 497 miles of sewer lines.

SECTION 1
On February 5, 2008, the City of Chula Vista adopted the first three years (which ends in June
2010) of a five-year rate plan. The adopted 2008 Rate Study was approved for only the first three
years due to unresolved issues, such as the potential upgrade of the Point Loma Wastewater
Treatment Plant (PLWTP). Originally, the 2008 Rate Study assumed that the waiver from
secondary treatment levels would be continued for another 5 years for the PLWTP. Recently,
the PLWTP was granted another five-year waiver. It is necessary to reevaluate the cost of
service and rates for next fiscal year 2010-2011 in an effort to continue meeting the City's
financial obligations. For this reason, City staff has reevaluated next fiscal year to ensure
necessary funds are collected to maintain and operate the City's wastewater collection system as
well as to pay for the treatment of wastewater transported to Metro.
In 2011, the City of Chula Vista in conjunction with the City of San Diego will be conducting a
comprehensive financial plan to consider potential upgrades to regional recycling and
treatment facilities.
Sewer Service Charge
The City of Chula Vista's Sewer Service Charge is made up of three different fees; the Sewer
Service Fee, the Storm Drain Fee and the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fee as illustrated in the
diagram below.
Consequently, revenue generated by the City's Sewer Service Charge is distributed between
three separate funds. These separate fees and funds are detailed as follows:
Sewer Service Charge - Monthly or Bi-Monthly Charge - Paid by All Users
The Sewer Service Fee
This fee is comprised of two parts and is the focus of the study. There is a fixed monthly fee
paid by all users and a variable fee based on water consumption. The fixed monthly fee is based
on water meter size and currently ranges from $8.03 to $615.66 per month. For the variable
portion of the fee, residential customers are charged $3.57 per Hundred Cubic Feet (HCF) and
low-strength commercial customers are charged $3.63 per HCF. Medium and high-strength

SECTION 1
commercial customers are charged $4.94 and $7.55 per HCF respectively; while special user
charges are individually calculated for each customer.
Sewer Service Revenue Fund - (Fund 41410)
Revenues derived from Sewer Service Fees are deposited into the Sewer Service Revenue Fund.
Funds in the Sewer Service Revenue account are used solely for the purposes of maintaining
and operating the municipal wastewater collection system and to pay for the collection costs
and wastewater treatment charges by the City of San Diego Metropolitan Wastewater.
Maintenance and operation is as dictated in Municipal Code Section 3.20. This fund is
considered the operating fund for purposes of this study and will be discussed in detail later in
the report.
Storm Drain Fee
While not part of this rate review, information regarding this fee is provided to increase
understanding of customer billing. This fee recovers a portion of the cost of maintenance and
operation of the storm drain system through two types of fees. Single-family customers are
charged a flat monthly fee, which is currently $0.70 per month. All other customers are charged
a monthly fee based on water consumption that is currently $0.06 per HCF. This fee is collected
as part of the monthly sewer service charge. Since this fee was established in 1991, the fee has
never been increased due to the constraints of Proposition 218. Consequently, the fee does not
generate sufficient revenues to meet the obligation of the fund.
Storm Drain Fund (Fund 30110)
Revenues in the Storm Drain Fund are derived from Storm Drain Fees paid by all users for the
operation and maintenance of the City's Storm Drain System including underground drainage
systems channels and ditches. Also competing for this limited fund source are costs associated
with complying with the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES). The General Fund currently subsidizes storm drain activities because the fee is not
sufficient to meet budgetary requirements. Details of the Storm Drain Fund are shown in the
table below.

SECTION 1
Sewer Facilities Replacement Fee
This fee recovers the cost of sewer rehabilitation and replacements including related evaluation,
engineering and utility modification. All users are charged a monthly fee based on water
consumption that is currently $0.18 per HCF. Based on the findings of a recent staff review of
the historical records (i.e findings of previous monitoring efforts, required improvements) and
cost of the required improvements, it is recommended that the fee remains unchanged for FY
11.
Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund (Fund 42800)
Revenues in the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund are derived from Sewer Facilities
Replacement Fees paid on a monthly basis by all users connected to the City's wastewater
collection system. This fund is primarily used for the replacement and rehabilitation of
deteriorating municipal facilities. This fee is collected on a monthly basis with the Sewer Service
Charge. Details of the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund are shown in the table below. The

1 .2 Purpose
The purpose of this update is to evaluate the existing sewer rates, review revenues and revenue
requirements, and perform cost of service and rate analyses to ensure the financial stability of
the sewer enterprise. This update is recommended for the following reasons:
· To reflect the actual FY 2008 and FY 2009 operations and maintenance (O&M)
expenditures, routine capital outlays, write offs of uncollectible accounts, transfers to
the replacement fund and transfers to the storm drain fund;
· To update the actual and projected payments made over the past two years and next
two years respectively to the City of San Diego for the treatment of sewage generated
by the City of Chula Vista;
· To verify that the adopted rates are generating sufficient revenues to meet the revenue
requirements;
· To reevaluate the cost of service for the next fiscal year 2010-2011 to ensure adequate
revenues are collected to maintain and operate the City's wastewater collection system;
and
· Design sewer rates, in the event that the existing rates are not generating adequate
revenues to support revenue requirements.
1.3 Scope of the Study
This update to the 2008 Rate Study includes three phases: Financial Planning, Cost of Service
Analysis, and Rate Design.
. Financial Planning: Revenue requirements are projected for a three-year period from FY
09-10 through FY 11-12. Financial planning involves estimation of annual O&M and capital
expenditures, inter-fund transfers, annual reserve requirements, operating and capital
revenues, and the determination of required annual sewer service revenues from rates and
charges.
. Cost of Service: Cost of service involves the apportioning of annual revenues required from
rates to the different user classes in proportion to their demands on the sewer system.
. Rate Design: Rate design involves the development of a fixed and variable schedule of
sewer rates for each of the different user classes to reflect the required revenue adjustments
made during the financial planning phase.

SECTION 2
REVENUE
Revenue for the sewer utility is derived from sewer service charges, industrial waste permits,
miscellaneous revenues, and interest income from operations. This section provides a
description of those revenue sources.
2.1 USER CLASSIFICATIONS AND CUSTOMER GROWTH
The level of future revenue from user fees the City can expect to receive is a function of the
number of customers served, the quantity of sewer flow, and the level of current rates.
Development of projected revenues under existing rates provides the benchmark upon which to
evaluate the need for revenue adjustments for this one-year study period.
Seven classes of customer are recognized. They include single-family, multi-family, mobile
homes, low-strength commercial, medium-strength commercial, high-strength commercial and
special users (high-volume users and variance accounts).
The City is currently serving approximately 48,000 individual customers with sewer service.
However, the study assumed that the number of projected accounts between FY 09 and FY 11
remains unchanged at 47,4710, which is the same number of accounts as of the end of Fiscal
Year 2008-2009. This assumption was made in anticipation of a balance between the number of
new customers and a potential increase in vacancies from foreclosures and unsold new
development. There has also being a significant decrease in sewer flows when compared with
the projected flows in the previous 2008 Rate Study for FY 10-11. Reduced water usage
primarily due to water conservation efforts and high vacancy rates resulted in reduced projected
revenues in fiscal year 20 I 0-11. With all of this in consideration, revenues to be collected are
expected to remain the same, while the cost of treatment will decrease.
The study assumes no growth in the City service area from FY 08-09 through FY 10-11. The
amount of wastewater flows for FY 10-11 was assumed to remain within the same levels of FY
08-09. Table 1 shows the projected number of customer accounts, wastewater flow, and revenue
assuming existing rates utilized from FY 09-10 to FY 11-12.

SECTION 2
The City of Chula Vista also provides a low-income rate, which is 70% of the single-family
residential adopted rate. This rate is available to single-family residential users who meet the
City's income requirements for "low-income status." The City uses the Federal Department of
Housing and Urban Development's (H.U.D) guidelines as a basis of approval.
2.2 BilLING METHOD
The City strives to establish sewer rates that are fair and equitable, so the billing method for
each user class is designed to match its estimated cost of service. Rates have been designed to
recover fixed costs of maintenance and operation of the system, which is more dependent on
the size of the collection system than on the amount of flow in the system. The rates also recover
variable costs for wastewater treatment, which is based on the quantity and quality of the
treated sewage. Consequently, users pay a sewer service charge that is made up of two
components: a fixed service charge and a variable commodity charge. Together these two
components comprise the customer's total Sewer Service Charge.
Fixed Service Charge: This charge applies to all users including residential, commercial &
industrial, and institutional users. Based upon meter size, the charge allows the City to break
out and recover the fixed costs of service 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).
Commodity Charge: This charge varies and is dependent on the amount of wastewater
discharges (as measured by water used) and the user's strength classification
Monthly Sewer Service Fee: Fixed Service Charge + Commodity Charge
Commodity Charge: (Sewer Rate x Rate of Return x Water Used)
The Rate of Return is the percentage of the amount of water used by a user that is ultimately
discharged into the wastewater collection system.
Single-Family Residential Users
Single-family residential customers - These customers pay a uniform monthly fixed service
charge based on meter size (assumed to be 5j8ths inches for all single-family residential
customers -SFD). The fee is currently $8.73jmonth. In addition, variable commodity charge
based on water consumption is paid. The City of Chula Vista uses a customer's "Winter
Average" to set their sewer service fee for the fiscal year. This concept is explained in greater
detail below.
Winter Water Usage Approach
In July 2003, the Chula Vista City Council approved a major change in the way the Sewer
Service Charge is determined for single-family homes. The structure was changed from a flat-
fee structure where all homes paid the same fee, to a consumption-based structure, which was
City of Chula Vista
March 2010
Cost of SelVice and Rate Study Update for Sewer SelVices

SECTION 2
based on the amount of water used which typically correlates to the amount of sewage
generated. Under this new structure, the sewer service charge is determined by using the lowest
average water consumption of two consecutive winter months; the winter months are the six
months from November through April. The underlying assumption being that most customers
significantly reduce or turn off irrigation sprinklers during the winter season. Therefore, the
water consumption during that period generally correlates to the amount of sewage discharged,
hence the use of this data as the basis of the rates.
A previous analysis of the City's sewer customer billing data indicated that the City's current
approach of billing single-family residential customers the lowest two months of water usage is
a fair and equitable method and is used by a majority of large utilities in the United States.
However, since a significant number of customers seem to continue to use water outside the
home even in the lowest use winter months, it is therefore appropriate to bill for less than the
total amount of the water used during the winter period. No changes to the 90 percent return
factor for single-family residential customers are proposed at this time. However, the City will
be conducting a study in 2011 to determine a fair and equitable return factor for an " average"
single-family residential household in the City of Chula Vista.
In addition, the City also has a cap on billable flow for single-family residential customers.
Based on the findings of a previous study, the City adopted a cap of 20 HCF. That means that
single-family residential customers are capped at 20 HCF per month. The cap was put in place
to avoid charging single-family residential customers for any residual irrigation usage that may
have occurred during the winter period. The study determined that with a 90% rate of return
and a cap of 20 HCF for single-family residential customers and an appropriate rate of return
for all other user classes, the total amount of billable flow approximately equals the amount of
flow treated at the plant ("mass balance").
Multi-Family Users
Multi-family users pay a fixed service charge based on the meter size and a variable commodity
charge that is calculated either of two ways:
a. If the individual units do not have their own meters, then the entire complex is billed as
a multi-family location on a "Mas.ter Meter" with a rate of return of 79% (84% for Mobile
Homes).
b. If each unit has its own individual meter, it is billed as single-family home (i.e., based on
winter average).
Commercial Users
Commercial users also pay a fixed service charge based on their meter size and a variable
commodity charge that is based on the strength classification of the user. Commercial users are
classified as low-strength, medium-strength or high-strength users. In addition, the billable flow
for commercial users assumes a rate of return of 90% of water consumed.

High-Volume Users
The State Water Resource Control Board guidelines for agencies establishing revenue programs
such as this require that commercial and industrial customers who discharge over 25,000
gallons per day (gpd) of wastewater have their sewer service charges determined individually
based on flow as well as Chemical Oxygen demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) or
estimated strength.
The City currently has nine (9) accounts in this classification.

The City also has customers who have been granted special rates based on other criteria because
their recorded water usage did not reflect sewage discharged. In accordance with the provisions
of Chula Vista Municipal Code, these customers pay processing fees and go through an
application process where each component of their sewer discharge is investigated and a special
rate based on cost of service is determined by staff. The City currently has 11 accounts in this
classifica tion.

OTHER REVENUES
Other revenue sources include industrial waste permits; pump station maintenance fees,
reimbursements, and miscellaneous revenue. Total revenue from these sources is estimated to
be approximately $429,800 in FY 09-10 as shown in Table 5.
2.4.3
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income varies from year-to-year depending on the investment of available monies in
the Sewer Operating Fund. Investment income projections are based on available fund balances
using an average annual interest rate of 1 percent throughout the study period. Estimated
interest income for FY 09-10 totals $121,691 as shown in Table 5.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City has developed a sewer utility capital improvement program (CIP) to address
municipal sewer systems need in terms of projects necessary to bolster and reinforce its existing
infrastructure facilities. A summary of the sewer capital improvement program, which reflects
the planned expenditures for each year during the study period, is shown in Table 3. The
program is estimated to total $12,750,441 for FY 09-10 through FY 11-12; however, there are
projects that may be carried over from FY 08-09. Sewer projects include the purchase of
additional Metro capacity, sewer replacements, and annual upgrades and improvements to the
sewer system.
Since most capital costs are not going to be funded from the operating fund directly, they are
provided for informational purposes only and will not affect rates.

SECTION 4
REVENUE REQUIREMENTS
Revenue Requirements of the utility consist of operation and maintenance expenses and annual
capital costs. The latter includes debt service, which the utility currently does not have, and
routine capital outlays for equipment replacements.
4.1 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE
Operation and maintenance (O&M) expense includes the cost of operating and maintaining
sewer collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater, and maintenance of system facilities.
Expenses include the cost of personnel, utilities (gas and electric), chemicals, and miscellaneous
materials and supplies to operate the sewer system on a routine basis. Expenses also include
payment to the General Fund for overhead costs. Since O&M costs are an ongoing annual
obligation of the City, they must be met from sewer service charge revenue.
Table 4 presents a summary of the projected O&M expenses for the City's sewer system. The
forecasted expenditures are based upon the City's budget and the effect of inflation in future
years. Total operation and maintenance expense, including capital outlay, is projected to
increase from $27,551,000 in FY 07-08 to $28,521,600 in FY 11-12. The Metro and Spring Valley
costs shown on Lines 11 and 12 include both O&M and capital costs.

4.2 DEBT SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
The City currently does not have any existing outstanding bond indebtedness.
4.3 TRANSFER OF REVENUES TO THE SEWER FACILITIES REPLACEMENT FUND
As part of the sewer service charge, a sewer facilities replacement fee of $0.18 per HCF per
month is charged to all customers. Total revenues collected will be transferred to the Sewer
Facilities Replacement Fund. No changes to the Sewer Facilities Replacement Fund are
proposed at this time.
4.4 TRANSFERS OF REVENUES TO THE STORM DRAIN FUND
Similar to the sewer facilities replacement fee, the City also has a storm drain fee of $0.70 per
single-family dwelling unit per month. Non-residential customers are charged $0.06 per HCF of
water usage per meter. It is anticipated that the Operating Fund will make a series of transfers
to the Storm Drain Fund matching revenues collected. No changes to the Storm Drain Fund are
proposed at this time.
4.5 BAD DEBT WRITE-OFFS
This study assumes bad debt write-offs of $300,000 annually based on historical trends. The
majority of the write-offs are from customers in the pre-annexation area of the City who are
billed by the City's Finance Department. Since the sewer billing is not done in conjunction with
the water bill, the City does not have the ability to shut-off water service in order to collect these
bills.
4.6 ROUTINE CAPITAL OUTLAYS
Routine capital outlays, which are financed from annual system earnings, include estimates for
vehicle replacements, a new vactor truck, and other additions and replacements to system
equipment.
4.7 OTAY WATER DISTRICT BILLING AND COLLECTION CHARGES
A portion of the City (primarily east of 1-805) is billed for sewer service by the Otay Water
District ("Otay''). Otay bills the City on a per account basis for providing this service. It is
currently estimated that Otay will bill the City an average of $362,000 over the next two years.
While this amount is quite significant, there are several benefits associated with this
arrangement. For example since the sewer bill is collected with the water bill, the City has a low
"bad debt" percentage for customers in that area compared to the other areas where the City
does not have a similar arrangement and has less leverage to deal with delinquent accounts.

CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
5.1 PROPOSED REVENUE ADJUSTMENTS
To provide for the continued operation of the sewer utility on a sound financial basis, revenue
must be sufficient to meet revenue requirements. This section of the report analyzes the revenue
needed to meet future revenue requirements.
The pro forma operations statement or cash flow summary presented in Table 5 provides a
basis for evaluating the timing and level of sewer revenue required to meet the existing and
projected revenue requirements during FY 09-10 through FY 11-12. Based on the findings of this
study, projected revenue requirements have been met and desired operating and capital
retained earnings are expected to be maintained next fiscal year 10-11 . Therefore, no increases
are proposed for FY 2011:
Effective Date
Increases
July 1,2010
o percent
The magnitude of the existing rates are adequate to sustain proper levels of sewer revenues in
order to meet revenue requirements and avoid transfers from any other funds, so that the Sewer
Service Revenue fund can remain self-supporting. Estimated sewer revenue under adopted
rates is shown on Line 7 of Table 5. The annual revenue shown is the same as in Table 1.
Additional operating revenues from any proposed rate increases are shown on Lines 2 through
7. Other revenues and interest income are shown on Lines 10 through 15.
Operation and maintenance expenses, transfers to other funds, and bad debt write-offs are
shown on Lines 18 through 24. Line 19 shows the transfers to the Sewer Replacement Fund and
Line 20 presents the transfers to the Storm Drain Fund scheduled for each year.
The cash flow indicates that the projected revenues will be sufficient to meet all the needs of the
utility over the next fiscal year 2010-2011 with no rate increases. No reserves are currently being
used to meet revenue requirements. Fiscal year 2011-2012 has been shown as reference in Table
5. As shown in Table 5, the annual retained earnings will remain positive and balances will
remain at slightly higher than optimum levels defined as 180-day O&M for FY 09-10.

Figure 1 Sewer Operating Fund Summary
The fund balance has grown over the past two-year plan period. The desired balance is
considered a reasonable working capital balance for a wastewater utility and is a target that can
be used to justify a higher bond rating.
Figure 1 shows a graphical summary of the revenue under the adopted and proposed FY 11
rates with revenue requirements. The figure indicates that revenue under the existing rates is
sufficient to cover operation and maintenance and capital expenses for FY 10 and FY 11 and that
no draw down of reserves will be necessary. In addition, no appreciable draw downs are
anticipated in FY 10-11 because the Operating Fund will be self-sufficient.
Figure 2 below shows the projected reserve balances. The figure shows that with the projected
revenue with no rate increases, reserves will be at steadily higher levels for the next two years.
It is recommended to maintain the current revenues to cover the costs of possible reductions in
revenues due to the proposed changes in billing methodology resulting in disruption of cash
flows. The higher reserve levels are also recommended to maintain optimal reserve balances
allowing higher bond ratings.
Maintaining adequate reserves is critical to the successful financial operation of an enterprise
activity such as the Sewer Fund. The indicated desired reserve level has been set at a 180-day
working capital balance in anticipation of potential cash flow disruptions due to the proposed
changes in billing methodology. That amount is roughly equivalent to the utility's semi-
annually payment to Metro and also allows for an emergency reserve. Bond rating agencies
indicate reserves closer to 180 days are typical for utilities with higher bond ratings.

SECTION 6
COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The cost of service analysis is a critical element in a rate study. The total revenue requirements
net of revenue credits from miscellaneous sources, is by definition, the cost of providing service.
This cost of service is then used as the basis to develop unit rates for the wastewater parameters
and to allocate costs to the various user classes in proportion to the quantity of wastewater
contributed and the strength of wastewater.
6.1 COST OF SERVICE ALLOCATION
The annual revenue requirements or costs of service to be recovered from charges for wastewater
service consist of the elements of O&M expense and capital related costs. O&M expense includes
cost directly related to the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater, and maintenance of
system facilities. Capital related costs represent routine capital outlays.
The City's estimated 2010 year cost of service to be recovered from wastewater charges is
estimated to be $27,684,900. As shown in Table 6, revenue derived from charges for service
under current rates is estimated to be $28,288,400 for FY 09-10 excluding revenues derived from
Sewer Facilities Replacement Charges and Storm Drain Charges. Therefore, the adopted rates
for 2010 are adequately meeting the cost of services required for FY 09-10.

6.2 CUSTOMER CLASS COSTS OF SERVICE
The cost responsibility of each customer class was determined during the previous 2008 Rate
Study. In that study, a revision was made to the allocation of cost to customer classes to reflect
that customers pay close to their fair share of cost of service. Since revenues are expected to
exceed costs of service next fiscal year and no rate increases are proposed at this time, no
adjustments to the cost allocation of each customer class are proposed at this time.

SECTION 7
RATE DESIGN
In generat class cost of service allocations serve as a "guide" to the necessity for, and extent of,
rate adjustments. Other considerations such as the change from previous rate levels, public
reaction to rate changes, past local policies and practices, and local regulations may modify
indicated cost of service adjustments. The end result of any rate adjustment process, however,
should be rate schedules, which are simple to apply, clearly understood, and as equitable to
each customer class as possible.
7.1 ExiSTING AND PROPOSED SEWER RATES
The cost of service analysis provides the basis for adjusting sewer service charges. The cost of
service allocation study provides the unit costs of service used in the rate design process and
gives a basis for determining whether resultant rates will recover costs of service from customer
classes and provide the total level of revenue required.
Since the current rates are meeting the revenues required to recover cost of services and no
significant major expenditures are expected for next fiscal year, same rates as the existing fiscal
year are recommended to the proposed rate schedule for FY 11. Table 13 presents the adopted
2010 and proposed rate schedule for FY 2011 with no rate increases. The results of these changes
can be seen in typical bills shown in Table 17 discussed below.

Facilities Replacement and the Storm Drain Fees are both collected from a variable fee. The net
effect of this can be seen by comparing the bottom lines of the two customers, which shows the
combined sewer rates.

Table 17 shows that the sample monthly bills for single family residential customers for FY 09-10
through FY 10-11. The proposed charges include the $0.70 per month Storm Drain Charge and the
$0.18jHCF per month Facilities Replacement Charge.
Column 1 is the winter period water usage. The typical customer uses about 10 HCF. However,
due to the reduced return factor, the typical customer will only be billed for 9 HCF as of January
1, 2008. Column 2 of Table 17 shows the current and proposed FY 11 monthly sewer bill for
single-family residential customers with usage ranging from zero to 20 HCF under existing rates.
With the current cap set at 20 HCF, usage above 20 HCF is charged for only 20 HCF.

SECTION 8
CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis performed in this study, no rate increases are recommended for next fiscal
year 10-11. Revenue estimates are expected to exceed expenditures and 180-day operating
retained earnings would steadily be returning to recommended levels for FY 10-11. In addition,
the reserve level for the end of fiscal year 2008-2009 indicated a healthy operating cash balance
in the amount of approximately $7,529,458 as shown in Table 5. No significant increases in cost
of services are expected for current fiscal year 2009-2010 and next FY 2010-2011.
This financial plan was developed based on information that was readily available at this time
from both the City of Chula Vista and the City of San Diego. Staff recommends that the City re-
evaluate the performance of the final cost of services and revenues generated during FY 2009-
2010 to ensure that the fund maintains self-sufficiency, and further rebuilds the reserve balance
to an optimal level by FY 11-12.

ATTACHMENT 5
Sewer Capacity Fee EDU Calculation for Restaurants
Chapter 12 of the Master Fee Schedule includes the City's Sewer Capacity Charge. This
fee is collected from applicants either connecting to the City's sewer system or increasing
the volume of flow contributed to the sewer system. The City of San Diego, as part of
the Metropolitan Wastewater District (Metro), provides sewage treatment services to
fourteen participating agencies that do not own/operate sewage treatment facilities,
including Chula Vista. Capacity fee funds collected by the City are used to increase
sewer treatment capacity, via construction of capital projects or acquisition of additional
treatment capacity rights with Metro.
The capacity fee was established in 1985, and has been regularly updated since that time,
with the most recent update occurring in December 2005. The fee is currently set at
$3,478 per Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU). No modification to the fee per EDU is
proposed at this time.
The capacity fee assessed for each project is based upon anticipated discharge into the
City's sewer system and varies by land use. In 1993, Council Resolution 17048 approved
the application of an Equivalent Fixture Unit (EFU) methodology in calculating the
EDUs associated with each project, setting 1 EFU equal to 14 gallons of flow per day.
Each EDU is assumed to generate 265 gallons of flow per day.
Staff in the Public Works department has reviewed the capacity fee calculation for
restaurants and identified an improved means of calculating the EDUs for this use. The
current EDU calculation is divided into two categories: (1) restaurants with fewer than
lOO seats and (2) restaurants with 100 seats or more. For restaurants with fewer than 100
seats, the EDU calculation is based on the number of EFUs. For restaurants with 100
seats or more, the EDU calculation is based on the number of seats proposed. The
current calculations are as follows:
Restaurants with
<100 seats:
# ofEFUs x 14 gallons/day
265 gallons/day/EDU
# of ED Us
Restaurants with
100 seats or more:
# of seats x 25 gallons/day
265 gallons/day/EDU
# of ED Us
Staff reviewed 20 restaurants of various seating capacity, and annual water usage data
was gathered. In accordance with the current sewer billing methodology, the adjusted
water usage was calculated by applying a 90% rate of return (to account for water usage
that does not result in discharge into the wastewater system, such as water used for
cooking or drinking). Water used for irrigation is excluded, as the majority of
commercial establishments have a separate water meter for this purpose. From the
adjusted water usage records, staff calculated an average water usage rate in gallons per
day, per seat. The chart below illustrates the relationship between the adjusted water
usage per seat and the current capacity fee per seat.

As shown in the chart above, the current fee calculation methodology results in a high
correlation with estimated water usage only in restaurants with 100 seats or more
(calculation based on number of seats). For restaurants with fewer seats, the fees
collected (calculation based on EFUs) do not correspond adequately. It is staffs
recommendation that the seat based fee calculation extend to include smaller restaurants
(more than 12 seats). For restaurants with 12 seats or fewer, a flat rate of21 EFUs (1.11
EDUs) is proposed. This refined EDU calculation methodology was designed to ensure
that the each user is charged according to their impact on the sewer system. The
proposed EDU calculation for restaurants is as follows:
Restaurants with
12 seats or less:
21 EFUs x 14 gallons/day
265 gallons/day/EDU
1.11 EDUs
Restaurants with
more than 12 seats:
# of seats x 25 gallons/day
265 gallons/day/EDU
# of ED Us
The chart below illustrates the improved correlation between estimated water usage and
projected sewer capacity charges for restaurants using the new methodology.
