14.2 REPORT - SANTA ROSA WATER RESERVE FUND POLICY UPDATE
BACKGROUND: Maintaining adequate reserve levels - funds set aside
for specific purposes - allows a utility to respond to fluctuations in
revenues and costs and respond to short term emergencies. Adequate
reserves directly affect a utility’s bond rating, and ultimately its ability to
borrow money at affordable interest rates. Santa Rosa Water’s Reserves
were last updated in 2012. The 2015 Rate Study recommended an
increase in the Catastrophic Reserve level to account for increased cost
of construction over the years since the last update.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public Utilities
and Water Department staff that the Council, by resolution, approve an
update of the Santa Rosa Water Reserve Policy to increase the
catastrophic reserve levels by 30% as per the 2015 Rate Study
recommendations.

15.1 PUBLIC HEARING - TEFRA HEARING - SANTA ROSA COMMUNITY
HEALTH CENTERS, LOCATED AT 3569 ROUND BARN CIRCLE
BACKGROUND: Santa Rosa Community Health Centers’ (SRCHC) goal
is to enhance the health and contribute to the improvement of a very
large segment of our population that otherwise would have difficulty
accessing healthcare services. It is a Federally Qualified Health Center
with a principal mission of providing primary medical, dental and mental
health care to uninsured and underinsured patients. SRCHC currently
has a total of nine sites around the City of Santa Rosa, including the
subject site, with nearly 50,000 patients, accounting for around 25% of
the residents of Santa Rosa. SRCHC provides approximately 225,000
patient visits annually with a staff of about 450 employees.
The CMFA is a joint powers authority that assists local governments,
non-profit organizations and businesses with the issuance of taxable and
tax-exempt bonds for any purpose or activity permitted under the Joint
Exercise of Powers Act Government Code §6500, et seq. terms of a Joint
Exercise of Powers Agreement Relating to the California Municipal
Finance Authority, dated January 1, 2004. To date, over 225
municipalities, including the City of Santa Rosa, have become members
of CMFA.
In 2010, the CMFA issued Insured Revenue Bonds to make a loan to
SRCHC to finance (i) the purchase of an approximately 42,500 square
foot building situated on 2.83 acres at 3569 Round Barn Circle, (ii) the
City of Santa Rosa
Regular Meeting Agenda and Summary Report

construction of tenant improvements to the building, and (iii) the
purchase of equipment and furniture for the building, for use as a
community clinic. The facility includes exam rooms, mental health rooms,
procedure rooms, consultation rooms, patient group rooms and
conference rooms for community, resident and staff education. SRCHC
relocated its administrative, billing, and finance staff from previously
leased space to this site. The facilities are owned and operated by
SRCHC.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department
that the Council, by resolution, approve the issuance by the California
Municipal Finance Authority of tax exempt, revenue refunding bonds for
Santa Rosa Community Health Centers in an amount not to exceed
$15,000,000 to refund the outstanding Insured Revenue Bonds
(Southwest Community Health Center), Series 2010, for the property
located at 3569 Round Barn Circle.
