AGENDA REPORT Scotts Valley Water District

Date: 05/09/19

To: Board of Directors

Item: Consent 5.2

Subject: 2019 Water Supply Outlook

Reason: Supports District Mission

SUMMARY Recommendation: Receive information

Fiscal Impact: None

Previous Related Action: On 04/12/18 the Board established Stage 1 Water Supply Conditions for Water Year 2018.

On 04/16/19 the Water Resources and Engineering Committee received an updated report on the 2019 Water Supply Outlook and directed staff to present the report to the board.

BACKGROUND The District’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan (WSCP) is included in its 2015 Urban Water Management Plan. The Water Shortage Contingency Plan stipulates a four-stage demand reduction plan with the amount of rainfall in a given year or series of years being the basis for defining the stages of action. The stages of action were evaluated based on the results of the numerical model in support of the overall management of the groundwater basin. In addition to the precipitation-based triggers, the plan suggests groundwater level adjustment to the triggers. For all stages, the spring groundwater levels are collected and evaluated relative to historic lows between 2003 and 2013. Demand reduction stages may be adjusted up or down based on this evaluation.

The Scotts Valley area, similarly to the rest of the State of California, experienced an extended period of drought in 2012 through 2015 when the cumulative rainfall reached 67% of the average. WY 2016 yielded average precipitation levels, WY 2017 received with almost double of the normal rainfall amount and WY 2018 ended only with 57% of the average.

DISCUSSION While the first 3 months of the water year showed the signs of a dry year with only 19% of average precipitations at the end of December, the months of January and February turned this around.

Based on the 2018 Annual Groundwater Report (Montgomery & Associates), the groundwater levels in Scotts Valley Groundwater Management Area are showing slow but consistent recovery trends. Despite that the WY 2018 rainfall being only 58% of the average making WY 2018 one of eight of the past twelve years with below average precipitation, Lompico aquifer levels have increased up to 15 feet over the past two years.

Groundwater supply is notably less sensitive to yearly fluctuations in precipitation that surface water resource. Groundwater levels are influenced more rapidly by pumping than by response to rainfall. Total potable system demand in WY 2018 was 379 MG (million gallons) or 1,130AF (acre-feet), which is 17% lower than WY 2013 demand of 457MG/1,401AF and 30% less than WY 2008 demand of 542MG/1,665AF. Another noteworthy aspect to keep in mind is that having precipitations to occur later in the season tends to naturally curtail the demand due to the reduced irrigation needs.

Considering all factors, the staff concludes that the goal for WY 2019 is to maintain the current consumption levels, continue water use efficiency programs and boost education and outreach on water supply and groundwater conditions.

To: Board of Directors

Item: Business 7.1

Subject: Water Use Efficiency Program Think Twice Update and Rebate Program Update

Reason: Supports Strategic Goal No. 1 Water Resource Management by achieving maximum feasible water conservation and efficient use

SUMMARY Recommendation: 1) Approve the Think Twice Water Use Efficiency Program Update; and 2) Approve the Rebate Program Update.

Fiscal Impact: Updates to the Think Twice Program activities will not result in direct cost for 2019 summer season. Changes to the Rebate Program are estimated to cost an additional $2000 per year. The funds are either available in FY 2019 budget or appropriated in the proposed FY 2020 budget.

Previous Related Action: On 05/17/18 the Board approved the Water Use Efficiency Program Think Twice 2018 Update.

On 04/16/19 the Water Resources and Engineering Committee reviewed the proposed updates to the Water Use Efficiency Program Think Twice and Rebate Program. The committee recommended the approval of both program changes.

BACKGROUND The District has been persistently and continuously promoting water use efficiency for years. Total system demand has decreased from 593 MGY (million gallons per year) in water year (WY) 2008 to 432 MGY, a drop of 27%. The potable system has experienced a 32% reduction in the same time period, despite moderate population growth.

DISCUSSION Every spring, the District staff assesses the water supply conditions, evaluates the demand and determines if any updates are necessary to its Water Use Efficiency and Rebate Programs. Some relatively minor changes to both programs are proposed in 2019. Submitted,

AGENDA REPORT Scotts Valley Water District

Date: 05/09/19

To: Board of Directors

Item: Business 7.2

Subject: FY 2020 Proposed Budget Summary

Reason: Supports District Strategic Goal No. 3 Financial Stewardship by managing the Dis-trict’s financial resources in a responsible manner

SUMMARY Recommendation: Receive information and provide direction

Fiscal Impact: The Fiscal Year 2020 (FY 2020) proposed budget includes $9.9 Million in expendi-tures, excluding carryover for projects and purchase orders. The total proposed budget is com-prised of $6.1M in operating expenses, $0.7M in debt service, and $3.1M in new project appro-priations.

FY 2020 operating costs, excluding debt service, are proposed to increase by 2%. The proposed operating budget includes $0.37M for contributions to the Santa Margarita Groundwater Agen-cy (SMGWA) and the conjunctive regional water supply initiative. Excluding these contribu-tions, the FY 2020 proposed budget is up 5% from the prior year.

On the revenue side, the proposed budget reflects the rate increases approved as part of the 2016 Comprehensive Rate and Fee Study. Total revenue, excluding Notes Receivable, is pro-jected to increase by 10% to $9.2M. Given the projected revenue and proposed expenditures, including project carryover of $1.0M, it is anticipated that there will be an approximately $0.9M draw on fund balance in FY 2020.

Previous Related Action: On 03/25/19, the Finance and Personnel Committee received a re-port on the FY 2020 budget assumptions.

On 03/28/19, the Water Resources and Engineering Committee reviewed and commented on the proposed projects budget.

On 04/11/19, the Board was presented the FY 2020 draft work plan, budget assumptions and the proposed capital and maintenance projects budget.

Page 34: REGULAR BOARD MEETING · 2020. 7. 28. · NuLeaf Tech Rachel Major, NuLeaf Tech . Scotts Valley Water District Board of Directors Agenda – 05/09/19 Page 2 4.3 Water Use Efficiency

On 04/16/19, the Finance and Personnel Committee reviewed the draft FY 2020 budget sum-mary.

BACKGROUND District follows an annual budget cycle with a balanced budget adopted at the June board meeting. The Budget comprises of the Operating Budget, Debt Service Budget and Projects Budget. The Operating Budget is a line item budget that is organized in functional divisions and major expense categories.

DISCUSSION FY 2020 proposed budget focuses on the District’s operations, allocating personnel, goods, and services to support the District’s services and the Board’s strategic priorities.

FY 2020 proposed expenditure budget is comprised of operating, debt service, and projects. The proposed budget also includes revenue projections and fund balance projections. The FY 2020 operating budget is a line item budget, organized by functional divisions and major ex-pense categories. Overall operating costs excluding debt service are up 2. The budget for debt service reflects the required payments on the 2016 Installment Purchase Agreement.

Attachment 1 presents a summary of year-to-year operating changes. Note that staff has re-structured the operating division budgets for Finance/Customer Service (Department 200) and Water Use Efficiency (Department 500). FY 2020 figures reflect a shift of the Water Use Effi-ciency budget into the Finance/Customer Service budget.

The District collects revenue from Potable Water (PW) and Recycled Water (RW) sales, PW and RW services, new connections, as well as several non-operating revenues such as property tax, loan repayments, and interest income. Staff projects a 10% increase in revenue in FY 2020, ex-cluding Notes Receivable. This figure is comprised of 13% growth in the Potable Water Fund and an 18% decrease in the Recycled Water Fund, driven primarily by project funding sources. Attachment 2 presents a summary of anticipated revenue by fund.

The Fund Balance table in Attachment 3 summarizes the anticipated draw on reserves of $0.9M. The fund balance projection reflects estimated actuals for FY 2019 rather than budget, to provide a more accurate estimate of the expected fund balance at June 30th of this year. The Projects Budget amounts reflect the District’s ‘Capital and Maintenance Projects FY 2020-2024 Projections’ which was presented to the Board on 04/11/19.

The Fund Balance Projection Charts in Attachment 4 help to show the projected fund balance by year for the next four years, using assumptions for revenue growth (from changes in de-mand), project timing, and pay-as-you-go vs. pay-as-you-use financing for the Purified Recycled Water Recharge project.

Reason: Supports Strategic Goal No. 3 Financial Stewardship by striving for maximum efficiency and transparency

Previous Related Action: None.

BACKGROUND Section 1.40.070 of the District Administrative Code describes the requirements governing cross connections pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 17. Water service to certain premises requires installation, inspection, testing and maintenance of a backflow protection devices by the account holder.

DISCUSSION Due to an unfortunate course of events, one of District’s largest recycled water customers, the Vineyards Residential Association is out of compliance with the regulations that govern cross connection control and backflow prevention.

FY 2019 – Q3 Financial Report July 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019

Revenue Scotts Valley Water District revenues come from four main sources: Water Sales, Water Services (Ready-to-Serve), New Connections, and Non-Operating*.

The District’s largest revenue category is Single Family Residential (SFR) Water Sales. Revenue from SFR Water Sales for the period of July through March is up 2% from the same period in the prior year. This increase in revenue is the result of water rate increases, offset by declining consumption in this category. Consumption Water consumption by SFR customers from the beginning of the year through the second quarter (July – March) is down 5.8% to 146 million gallons from 155 million gallons in FY 2018. Total water consumption in the District across all categories is 4.4% lower.

District crews make quick work of Orchard Run booster pump break-down A mid-April late-night alert about a booster pump failure at the Orchard Run Water Treatment Plant resulted in an urgent response from Scotts Valley Water District crews to maintain water service to District customers while making emergencyrepairs.

With the treatment facility offline until pump repairs were completed, District staff were able to rely upon ample storage from the District’s many tanks. Crews alsobegan pumping water from the Well 10 Water Treatment Plant to supply customers as well.

The damaged pump and motor are original equipment to the facility that opened in 1994. A project to replace all three boosterpumps at the facility is in next year’s capitalimprovement program budget. The failure did not damage or affect any other equipment.

The repairs to the Orchard Run Well pump system have been completed and the system is now functioning normally.

Recycled Water Fill Station will not open in2019The District launched the Recycled Water Fill Station program in 2015 to provide a supply alternative for our residential customers when the State of California was in the middle of a severe drought.

The station was well-received by the community with 98 users signing up and going through the permittingprocess in the first 2 years of operation. Use of the station peaked in 2016 with 131,000 gallons distributed over 5 months. Usedropped off sharply in 2017 with 57,000 gallons distributed and again in 2018 with only 56,000 gallons dispensed over the five and half months the station was open. The direct costs to operate the station in 2018 was about $7,000 essentially costing ratepayers $125 to supply 1,000 gallons of free recycled water to a small group of users (in comparison with regular pipe-delivered recycled water cost ofapproximately $13 per 1,000 gallons).

With three years of relatively wet winters behind us, the State of California officially ended the drought on March 5, 2019. Due to a much-improved weather outlook and declining use of the fill station, the District intends to keep the station closed in 2019. The District will consider opening a fill station in the future when and if the watersupply conditions warrant it.

The District is very appreciative of those who were able to take advantage of the fill station during the drought.
