15.2 REPORT - APPROVAL OF THE PRELIMINARY 2016/17
SUBREGIONAL SYSTEM OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE, CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT AND DEBT SERVICE BUDGET AND ALLOCATION
OF COSTS
BACKGROUND: The Subregional System, managed by the City of Santa
Rosa per the Subregional Agreement, is a state-of-the-art wastewater
treatment facility serving five member agencies (Santa Rosa, Rohnert
Park, Sebastopol, Cotati, and the Sonoma County South Park Sanitation
District, each hereinafter referred to as “User Agency” or collectively as
“User Agencies”). The Laguna Treatment Plant is a tertiary-level
treatment facility permitted for 21.34 million gallons per day (MGD)
average dry weather flow. The Subregional Agreement requires that the
City annually prepare a Preliminary Budget and Allocation of Costs for
the Subregional Wastewater System and notify the User Agencies of
these costs by May 1st of each year. The Agreement further requires that
the proposed budget and allocation of costs be reviewed by the
Subregional Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), the Board of Public
Utilities (BPU) and the Council of the City of Santa Rosa prior to noticing
the partners of operating and debt service costs due.
The Subregional O&M Fund budget request is up $1,227,451, or 4%, the
Subregional cash-funded capital improvement program continues to
increase at $1 million per year, as per agreement of the User Agencies,
making this year’s budget request $3.2 million, and the Subregional debt
service is seeing a one-time reduction of approximately $4.5 million in
2016/17. Overall, all User Agency required contributions will reduce for
the 2016/17 budget year. The agencies may agree to make a one-time
