Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Anna Rosenberry, Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Water Impact Fee Fund Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) for FY18-22.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
MEETING DATE: December 12, 2016
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Water Impact Fee Fund Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) for FY18-22.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the City Manager is required to prepare a 5 Year Capital
Improvements Plan and submit it to the Commission by December 15th. The City’s Impact Fee
Advisory Committee (IFAC) met on December 1st to review and make recommendations for the
planned expenditures of Water Impact Fees. There was a quorum of the Committee and they
voted to recommend the attached CIP.
Items of Note:
1. The scheduled projects now include more of the projects identified in the Integrated
Water Resources Plan (IWRP).
2. WIF39 &WIF40 SOURDOUGH TRANSMISSION MAIN – PHASES 1 & 2 – These
projects provides significant additional water supply capacity. Their construction would
also assist in overcoming vulnerabilities presented by the aging and unknown condition
of the existing transmission main between the City’s Water Treatment Plant and
Sourdough Tank. The IFAC discussed whether or not the projects should be funded
590
100% with impact fees – or have some contribution from the Utility because of the
“redundancy” the lines will also supply. The projects are proposed as 90% Impact Fees
and 10% Water Utility.
3. WIF31, WIF32, and WIF33 GROUNDWATER WELL FIELD TEST, DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION - We have added items for water supply project called
“Groundwater Well Field.” These are items that will provide added water supply, as
recommended by the City’s Integrated Water Resource Plan.
4. A significant amount of borrowing is anticipated for Projects WIF35, WIF39, and
WIF 40. Over $17 million will need to be borrowed to complete these three projects.
Because of the uncertainty of the revenue stream, the Water Utility will need to borrow
via revenue bonds and be reimbursed by the Water Impact Fee Fund. There may be rate-
requirements to support this borrowing. We will know more after the upcoming Water
Rate Study.
5. There are a significant amount of unscheduled capacity-expanding projects proposed that
cannot be supported by the existing levels of impact fee revenues.
6. Revenue estimates for Water Impact Fees have been updated with the 5-year average
collection amount, detailed on the following page. We have not included
591
any potential financial effects of the fee study that will be underway in the coming
months. Revenues have grown on average by 25% per year, over the past 5 years.
Revenues have grown by an average of 11% per year, over the past 3 years. For the
CIP, we have used the 5-year Average collection, plus 5% growth each year from FY18
to FY22.

Lyman Tank and Transmission Main Construction
FY18 FY19 Unscheduled
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Construct a new 5MG storage tank at Lyman, decommission existing Lyman storage tank, Condition Assessment-based repairs of
the existing Lyman transmission main, new supply main tie in to new storage tank, new transmission main tie in from new storage
tank to existing transmission main, new chlorination/fluoridation feed facility. Decommission Pear Street Booster Station if
Hydraulic Grade Line of tank raised to meet Sourdough Tank.
Describe the criticality (i.e., importance) of this project to the operation: The Lyman water supply is a critical element of the
city's overall water supply portfolio accounting for roughly 20% of annual supply volume to the city currently. The source
provides supply redundancy and resiliency as it is geographically removed from the Sourdough/Hyalite source and provides an
independent connection to the distribution system.
How is capacity affected by this project: The effective available water supply is increased since the new storage system will not
leak and will expand the number of customers able to be supplied by Lyman water.
How is connectivity affected by this project: Maintains existing connectivity.
What safety or risk measures are mitigated with this project: Likelihood of failure of Lyman supply system dramatically reduced
by replaced storage, new transmission and Condition Assessment -based rehab to existing transmission.
How is this project leveraged with other stakeholders/projects/funds: Constructs project design.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Status quo operation of existing Lyman system
ADVANTAGES OF APPROVAL
Replaces Lyman storage tank which is at the end of its useful life. Increases effective available supply as existing tank leaks at a rate exceeding
100 gpm. If new storage sited at an elevation to match HGL of Sourdough Tank then Pear Street Booster Station can be decommissioned
which reduces annual operating costs for power. CA-based rehab reduces likelihood of failure of critical transmission infrastructure.
ADDITIONAL OPERATING COSTS IN THE FUTURE, IF FUNDED
Anticipated operating cost reduction related to pear street booster decommissioning. Operating costs for new tank and transmission
comparable to
