REPORT ITEMS 15.1 REPORT - SONOMA COUNTY WATER AGENCY 2016/17 WATER TRANSMISSION BUDGET AND WATER RATE INCREASE BACKGROUND: The City of Santa Rosa purchases approximately 90% of the water supplied to our customers from the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA). The SCWA is proposing to raise the wholesale rate of City of Santa Rosa Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report Page 7 of 12 City Council MARCH 29, 2016 water by 5.98% from $761.05 to $806.59 per acre foot. This increase is ‘passed through’ to Santa Rosa customers and would result in an average increase to the water usage charge of 2.6%. There is a Water Advisory Committee (WAC) made up of elected officials of each of the contractors to the Sonoma County Water Agency’s (SCWA) wholesale water. The WAC is an advisory committee to the SCWA Board of Directors. On April 4, 2016, the WAC is scheduled to vote on whether or not to recommend the SCWA budget and proposed rate increase for approval of the SCWA Board of Directors. The City Council may advise their representative to the Water Advisory Committee (WAC) prior to a WAC vote. Ultimately, the SCWA Board of Directors will have final authority to approve the proposed rate increase. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Water Department and the Board of Public Utilities that the Council consider the SCWA budget and proposed water rate increase and, by motion, make a recommendation to the Council’s Water Advisory Committee representative for the Water Advisory Committee vote on April 4, 2016.
