SUBJECT :WATER RATE STRUCTURE STUDY SESSIO N
RECOMMENDATIO N
Participate in the fourth and final water rate structure study session with HDR Engineering .
DISCUSSIO N
Backgroun d
During the third water rate structure study session held at its September 18, 2012 meeting, Counci l
reviewed the outcome of the goals and objectives ranking exercise from its August 7, 2012 stud y
session. HDR Engineering presented information and Council discussed five conceptual singl e
family and three multi-family and non-residential rate structures .
• This report presents the "road test" of the final selected potential rate structures which suppor t
Council's prioritized goals and financial policies . Actual rates and bill comparisons are used t o
assess customer impacts . Although there are numbers associated with the "road test", this is not a n
exercise in setting the actual rates . A recommendation on the rates will be presented to the Counci l
as part of the 2013-2015 financial planning process .
During this study session, the Council and community will discuss five single family and fiv e
corresponding multi-family and non-residential rate structure options . Based on the input provide d
at this study session, a final water rate structure recommendation (along with alternatives) will b e
developed for the Council's consideration and action at a regular meeting . The meeting is
tentatively scheduled for November 20, 2012 but may be changed due to a potential schedulin g
conflict for the City's consultant .
Water Rate Structure Alternative s
Using Council's prioritized goals and objectives and input from the discussion at the September 18 ,
2012 study session, five rate structure options for single family residential customers and five fo r
the remaining customer classes have been developed for the Council's consideration . In order t o
equitably compare and "road test" each option, it is -assumed each option must generate the sam e
amount of revenue as the current 2012-2013 rate structure . The term "revenue neutral" is use d
when describing this concept in the report . A technical memorandum prepared by HD R
Engineering analyzing each option can be found in Attachment 1 .
During the study session, Council expressed consensus with a "comfort level" of the customer or
"fixed" charge being set somewhere between $5 .00 and $10 .00 . The HDR Engineerin g

five of Attachment 1 .
The following options (where applicable) only use a $5 .00 customer or "fixed" charge fo r
comparison purposes . A complete analysis of alternative customer or "fixed" charges is provide d
in Attachment 1 .
1 .
Single Family Residential Water Rate Structure Option s
Five single family water rate structure options were developed based on the Council's prioritize d
goals and objectives and incorporate the concepts and comments communicated by the Council a t
the last study session .
Option 1 — Current Rate Structur e
The current rate structure is an increasing block rate structure and is 100% volumetric with n o
customer or "fixed" charge .
Single Family Rate Structure Option 1
Monthly Customer Charge $0 .0 0
Consumption Charges Per Unit
Block 1 First 5 units $6 .2 5
Block 2 6 – 25 units '$7 .8 2
Block 3 > 25 units $9 .8 0
Option 2 — Revised Block Structur e
Like Option 1, Option 2 does not include a customer charge . To increase revenue stability, the first
block is expanded to include 8 units of water and the third tier is eliminated . In order to remai n
revenue neutral, the pricing in blocks one and two are increased slightly .
Single Family Rate Structure Option 2
Monthly Customer Charge $0 .0 0
Consumption Charges Per Unit
Block I
First 8 units $6 .43
Block 2 >8 units $8 .04
Option 3 — Current Rate Structure with Customer Charg e
This option retains the current three block increasing rate structure and-adds-a monthly customer .
charge . This rate structure enhances the revenue stability through the monthly customer charge an d
remains easy to understand by maintaining the current rate structure . The block pricing is lowe r
than the current rate structure in order to remain revenue neutral .

Block 1 First 5 units $5 .9 4
Block 2 6 — 25 units $7 .43
Block 3 > 25 units $9 .3 3
Option 4 — Increasing Block Rate Structure with Revised Block Sizes, Plus Customer Charg e
Rate structure Option 4 maintains the current three block increasing rate structure . However, thi s
rate structure 1) expands the first block from 5 to 8 units, 2) maintains the existing block leve l
(ending level) for the second block, and 3) adds the customer charge . The block pricing is slightl y
lower than the current rate structure in order to be revenue neutral .

•Option 5 — Revised Block Rate Structure plus Minimum Bil l
Rate structure Option 5 is similar to Option 2 . However, this rate option includes a monthly
customer charge and includes 1 unit of water in the monthly customer charge . The customer charg e
is set to be approximately the same cost as the second block rate . This rate structure enhances
revenue stability through the addition of the monthly customer charge and changing the bloc k
structure . The monthly customer charge would be billed regardless of water use which could b e
difficult to understand or explain . This rate structure enhances the revenue stability through th e
monthly customer charge and increased block sizing ; it maintains equity .

Council will have the opportunity to work with HDR Engineering during the study session to adjus t
components of any of these water rate structure options . Maintaining revenue neutrality will b e
critical .
2 .Multi-family and Non-residential Water Rate Structure Option s
Five rate structure options for multi-family and non-residential customers were developed based o n
the Council's prioritized goals and objectives . They correspond to the single family options in orde r
to create consistency between customer classes when selecting a final alternative .
Option 1 — Current Rate Structur e
The option aligns with the single family Option 1 ; the current rate structure for multi-family an d
non-residential is a two block rate structure {residential has three blocks) and is 100% volumetri c
with no customer charge .
Multi-Family and Non-Residential Rate Structure Option 1
Monthly Customer Charge $0 .0 0
Consumption Charges Per Unit
Block 1 First 5 units $6 .2 5
Block 2 >6 units $7,8 2
Option 2 — Revised Block Structure
Option 2 aligns with the residential Option 2 . It increases the number of units in Block 1 and
increases pricing in each block in order to remain revenue neutral .
Multi-Family and Non-Residential Rate St ructur e Option 2
Monthly Customer Charge $0 .0 0
Consumption Charges Per Uni t
Block 1 First 8 units $6 .43
Block 2 >8 units $8 .04
Option 3 — Current Rate Structure with Customer Charg e
This option is similar to single family Option 3 but it has two blocks instead of the three blocks i n
single family ; consistent with the current rate structure philosophy .

Consumption Charges Per Uni t
Block 1 First 5 units $5 .94
Block 2 >25 units $7 .4 3
Option 4 — Uniform Rate with Customer Charg e
The multi-family and non-residential rate structure Option 4 would eliminate block pricing in favo r
of a uniform rate plus a customer charge . This option could be used in conjunction with any of th e
single family options . The rate structure increases customer understandability, revenue stability ,
equity, and predictability although it differs significantly from the corresponding single family rat e
structures and does not encourage conservation through block pricing .
Multi-Family and Non-Residential Rate Structure Option 4
Mon hl Customer Char e $5 .00
Consumption Charges Per Uni t
All Consumption $7 .5 0
Option 5 -Revised Block Rate Structure plus Minimum Bill
Option 5 corresponds to the single family Option 5 and has the same attributes .
Multi-Family and Non-Residential Rate Stricture Option 5
Monthly Customer Charge $6 .00
Consumption Charges Per Unit
Block 1 First 1 unit $0 .00
Block 2 2— 8 units $6 .1 3
Block 3 > 8 units $7 .6 6
Multi-family and Non-residential Monthly Bill Compariso n
The HDR Engineering technical memorandum (Attachment 1)compares the rate structure option s
for various customer classes at different water consumption levels on pages 8, 9, and 10 . Th e
analysis indicates there are cost differences between each option . Studying how these cos t
differences impact different users will assist in decision making . As with the single family rat e
structure options, Council will have the opportunity to work with the consultant to adjust optio n
components .
Next Step s
HDR will provide the Council with a final report summarizing the steps taken to review the rat e
structure, an overview of the rate structures reviewed during the study, recommendations of th e
analysis HDR will undertake, and a recommended final proposed water rate structure . A fina l
meeting has been tentatively scheduled for November 20, 2012 at which the Council will be aske d•to take action and make a final decision on a rate structure design .

From :Shawn Koorn, HDR Engineering, Inc .
Date :10/02/1 2
Subject :Overview of the Rate Design Option s
Introductio n
HDR and City staff have been working through a review of the current water rate structure with th e
City Council . This has included presentations to the Council on "Rates 101", Goals and objectives ,
and conceptual rate structures . These meetings provided the basis and method of setting rates t o
meet their goals and objectives .
During the second meeting the City Council and staff prioritized the goals and objectives that wer e
presented . Provided below is a summary of the prioritized goals and objectives .

The above goals were used to develop the conceptual rate structures . These rate structures were
presented to the City Council and staff in a workshop setting . At the completion of that workshop ,
several of the conceptual rate structures were determined move forward for further analysis . Thos e
options are presented in more detail below .
Single Family Rate Design Option s
HDR has developed 5 alternative single family rate structures for review by the City Council an d
staff . These options, with the exception of the current rate structure, were designed to meet th e
prioritized goals and objectives of the City Council and staff . The alternatives include adding a
monthly customer charge, revising the sizing of the consumption blocks/tiers, or a combination o f
both .

Rate structure Option 2 does not include a fixed charge, rather to increase revenue stability the firs t
block was expanded to 8 CCF . In addition, the third block was eliminated which is similar to pas t
rate structures the City has had in place . Under this option it is recommended that the City includ e
a reserve policy (i .e ., rate stabilization), to minimize rate impacts as a result of future additiona l
declines in consumption patterns for added revenue stability .

Rate structure Option 3 maintains the current three block increasing rate structure . However, this
rate structure includes a monthly customer charge . Each customer will pay the fixed custome r
charge regardless of monthly water consumption . This rate structure enhances the revenue
stability through the monthly customer charge as well as maintains customer understandability b y
maintaining the current rate structure .

For rate Option 4, the bill increases until approximately 7 units per month, and then the monthl y
bill impacts begin to decline .
Given the increase in the monthly bill to the lower use customers as part of implementing a
monthly customer charge, and decrease to the larger use customers, the level of the custome r
charge must be considered .
Commercial Rate Design Option s
Five rate options were developed for the commercial customer class of service as well ,
which generally link to the residential rate options . In other words, for many of the rat e
options, the Council and staff must determine which combined option (both residential an d
commercial) best fits their goals and objectives .

The second rate option is based on the current rate structure where the rates, and first block size, i s
the same as the residential rates, and block size, for Option 2 . Revenue stability is enhance d
through the increase in the first block, while customer understanding is maintained as it is base d

The third rate option is similar to Option 2, however, it adds a monthly customer charge that i s
billed regardless of monthly consumption . In addition,_ this rate structure maintains th e
relationship to the residential rate structure pricing for Option 3, similar to the current rate
structure. Revenue stability is enhanced through the addition of the monthly customer charge .
Customer understanding is maintained and fairness (equity) is also increased with the monthl y
fixed charge .

The commercial rate Option 4 adds a monthly customer charge to enhance the revenue stability .
In addition, the increasing block rate structure has been restructured to a uniform rate, or a rat e
• that is the same for all consumption . This rate structure increases customer understandability ,
revenue stability, fairness (equity), and predictability . This rate structure could be combined wit h
any of the residential rate structures, although minor modifications may need to be necessary t o
collect the total revenue needs depending on the option chosen .

enhances the revenue stability through the addition of the monthly customer charge, an d
expanding the first block . In order to maintain consistency between the residential an d
commercial rate structure 1 unit of water was also included in the commercial monthly custome r
