5. Key Near-Term Cost Drivers  Gulf Coast Water Authority (GWCA)  Significant increases in purchased water cost  30% in FY 2016, 10% in FY 2017; Increasing from $8.6 to $12.1M by 2017  Weather  FY 2015 rainfall is historically high, leading to reduced irrigation demand  Reserves  Under pressure and will need to be restored to industry guidelines  Cash Funded Capital  Funding requirements for ongoing capital improvements  Debt Service  To support debt needed for larger and long-lived projects 3

10. Multi-Year Residential Utility Bill Impacts Baseline CIP Conclusion: Individual rate adjustments moderated on a total bill basis Note: rate structure modifications could be made that would mitigate impact to low volume and average users Rate adjustments from FY 2017 – FY 2020 are projections and will be updated 8

13. Local Area Rate Structures (Per publicly available data/research as of 7/6/15) 13 Our Conclusions:  Most have some form of inclining block structure  City’s tiers are very large, notably for residential users  City’s Conservation pricing signal is not very strong

14. Potential Commodity Charge Modifications  Changes to residential rate structure  Adjust inclining blocks per current data, practices, costs, objectives  Smaller tiers with steeper pricing (promotes affordability & conservation)  Alternative structure for non-residential users  Most common practice nationally and in the state is uniform rate  Separate rate structure for irrigation meters  Apply seasonal or inclining block rate structure  Greater conservation pricing & cost allocation for these peak uses 14

15. Local Area Base Charges (Per publicly available data/research as of 7/6/15) 15 Our Conclusions:  City has highest minimum charges in area for residential users  Seasonality, no scaling for larger meter sizes  Water usage included is comparable – sewer a little high

16. Potential Base Charge Modifications  Adjust the % of revenue recovered in base charges  Consider affordability, reserves, seasonality, fixed cost recovery  Scale base charges for larger meters  Use AWWA factors, observed usage, etc.  Result: More costs to customers with larger potential demands  Update level of consumption included in the charges  Way to address affordability for very low use  Could be scaled based upon meter size  Synchronize amount between water and sewer  Consider establishing a customer charge component  Isolates customer-costs so they are not scaled by meter size 16

17. Conclusions & Next Steps  Water/Sewer facing significant financial challenges  GCWA and Capital Projects Funding  Impact to low volume users can be mitigated via rate design, while also promoting equity within the utility system and water conservation  Next steps:  Integrate feedback from Council into analysis  Proceed with review of alternative rate structures  Determine specific level of rates and customer impacts from changes  Bring back initial results to Council/Stakeholders in August  Perform adjustments and hold public hearings in September  Implement new structure in October (FY 2016) 15
