MEMORANDUM
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
FROM: MICHAEL THRONE, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS j6
DATE: JUNE 30, 2015
SUBJECT: ABALONE COVE SEWER SERVICE CHARGE
REVIEWED: DOUG WILLMORE, CITY MANAGER®6rViV
Project Manager: Ron Dragoo, Principal Enginee-1
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Conduct the public hearing on the proposed levy of the annual sewer service charge for
the Abalone Cove Sewer System for Fiscal Year 2015/16.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2015- , a Resolution of the City Council of the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes approving a report in connection with the sewer service charge
established pursuant to Chapter 13.06 of the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code,
determining the amount of such charge for Fiscal Year 2015/16, and ordering that such
charge be collected on the tax roll.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The Abalone Cove Sewer Service Charge (Charge) has been in existence since
July 2001.
• Revenues collected through the Charge help pay for maintenance of the sewer
system within the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District (ACLAD). The system
is divided into four zones (subsystems) including 50 grinder pumps, four lift stations
and thousands of feet of pressure and gravity flow pipes.
• Since inception the total annual revenue from the Charge has ranged from $21,595
(FY 2001/02 and FY 2002/03) to the $56,894 which was collected in FY 2014/15
(see Attachment C, Operation & Maintenance, City Contribution & Total Charge).

The Charge for each parcel is determined pursuant to the specific subsystems used
by each parcel.
At the inception of the Charge, the City established a policy of subsidizing the cost
of maintenance of the system in an effort to reduce the charges to property owners
and provide funding to adequately maintain the system. However, in 2010, the City
Council directed staff to develop a procedure that would ultimately eliminate the
taxpayer subsidy which is currently needed to maintain the sewer system
infrastructure. The annual subsidy has ranged from a maximum of $60,386 in FY's
2014/15 to $8,190 in FY 2011/12 (see Attachment D, Parcel Charges by Zone).
To insure funding for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in the
Abalone Cove area, the City Council established the Sewer Service Charge (Charge) on
July 17, 2001. The Charge insures a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of
operating and maintaining the facilities.
The City Council annually reviews the current and projected costs for operating and
maintaining the sewer facilities and sets rates for the ensuing fiscal year, which begins July
1 and ends June 30. In setting the annual rates, the City Council will consider any new or
updated maintenance costs in the attached FY 2015/16 Engineer's Report (Attachment A,
FY 2015/16 Engineer's Report), and any fund balances or shortages, and adjust the rates
accordingly.
The Charge is levied under the authority of the California Health and Safety Code Sections
5471 et seg. (the "Code"). Payment of the Charge for each parcel will be made in the
same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes for each
property.
To levy the Charge for fiscal year 2015-16, the City must hold a public hearing. An
estimate of the total annual operating costs of the Abalone Cove Sewer System and the
corresponding Charge required of each property is provided in Attachment A (FY 2015/16
Engineer's Report). The Charge for FY 2015/16 will be submitted to the County for
collection through the tax rolls. To that end, the City Council annually adopts a resolution
approving the report and ordering collection of the Charge on the tax rolls (Attachment B,
Resolution No. 2015 - ).
The estimated annual cost to operate and maintain the Abalone Cove Sewer System
for FY 2015/16 is $137,780, which is higher than the actual amount for FY 2014/15.
The increase represents ongoing system maintenance requirements, and funding Lift
Station and grinder pump maintenance and repairs which are anticipated to sustain the
operation of the low pressure grinder pump system. During the past year the
2
maintenance requirements associated with the grinder pumps has been high. Many of
the pumps in service are failing and need replacement. Staff is working out the details
to facilitate a purchase of grinder pumps to replace failing pumps throughout the system
with pumps that will use modern technology to re -gain performance and reliability.
Once the grinder pumps are purchased and installed, required repairs are anticipated to
be less frequent. Other maintenance work anticipated this year includes mainline
cleaning and inspection, manhole root removal, inspection and lining manholes (as
needed) in the system to minimize damage due to gas exposure along with replacing
two lift station pumps, and servicing, maintaining and cleaning pump stations. The
historical Operation and Maintenance costs, City contributions (subsidy), and the
charges for past fiscal years are shown in Attachment C (Operation & Maintenance,
City Contribution & Total Charge).
Through the budget process prior to the completion of the FY 2015/16 Engineer's
Report (Report), the City budgeted funds to accommodate a subsidy of $80,900. The
anticipated maintenance needs included in this year's report proposes a subsidy of
$80,829 is needed.
The Report groups parcels in the Abalone Cove Sewer Service area into various rate
zones based on the specific combination of sewer subsystems used by each parcel. The
proposed FY 2015/16 charge for a single-family parcel ranges from $165.73 to $726.49.
The charges for all zones (A, B, C and D) are at the maximum allowable rates. The
proposed increases for these zones range from $0.17 to $0.73 per parcel. A description of
the various zones and their historic and proposed FY 2015/16 charges are shown in
Attachment D (Parcel Charges by Zone).
The proposed Charge varies by zone. The system of zones was developed to identify the
specific combination of subsystems used by each contributing parcel. The zones with the
highest charges, Zones B and D, are the zones with the highest per parcel cost for
maintenance. For the Abalone Cove Sewer System, the in -street pump stations historically
have the highest per parcel costs to maintain and therefore these properties have had the
highest charges and subsidies. Previous projects which retrofitted two single phase lift
station pumps with three phase pumps and the associated electrical control system
reduced the cost of operating Zone D. However two lift stations still operate with single
phase pumps and the maintenance estimate for this Zone D still reflects anticipated
maintenance. This year Zone C, which includes the low pressure systems, is anticipated to
have high maintenance costs until the pumps have been purchased and replaced. The low
pressure pumps are reaching the end of their useful life and need replacing. Following
replacement of pumps, Staff anticipates putting in place a low pressure pump program to
help lower the cost of repairing and replacing the low pressure pumps which should result
in a cost savings over previous years. The cost of other maintenance associated with the
low pressure systems is expected to remain constant over the next year; however the
condition of the low pressure galvanized piping is currently being evaluated. The results of
the evaluation will reveal whether the galvanized piping will require replacement, resulting
in a need for a higher subsidy for this Zone.
3
The Ordinance establishing the Charge also established the maximum service charge that
can be levied, which is adjusted each year based on changes in the Consumer Price Index
(CPI). The maximum service charges by zone for the FY 2015/16 are as follows:
City Council has directed staff to develop a procedure to reduce the City subsidy to
zero. Funding for a sewer system plan for the Abalone Cove Sewer System was
approved through the regular budget process for FY 2015/16. Staff anticipates
developing this plan early this summer to better understand future funding needs. In
coming months Staff plans to bring forward a sewer system funding plan for Council
consideration.
EUMM
The City Council is required to conduct a public hearing and adopt a resolution (confirming
the Charge) prior to collecting the Charge on the tax roll for FY 2015/16. By adopting
staff's recommendation, Council will be levying single-family parcels ranging from $165.73
to $726.49 and subsidizing the system in the amount of $80,829.
Reduce or eliminate the Charge
Reduce, eliminate or increase the subsidy
Impact:
The proposed FY15-16 charges are at the maximum allowable rates under the Ordinance,
and to increase the charges above these rates would require the City Council to undertake
increase proceedings in compliance with Proposition 218.
The City is required by law to ensure the safe operation and maintenance of the sewer
systems it owns. The Engineer's Report includes the best estimates of the necessary
revenues to operate and maintain the system. Thus, the City would need to increase the
subsidy or be subject to regulatory fines in the event of system failures if the Charge was
reduced or eliminated.

By adopting the staff recommendation, Council will be approving a total sewer service
charge of $56,951 and a City subsidy of $80,829 in general funds to maintain the Abalone
Cove sewer system for FY 2015/16. Because the Council has included funding for these
costs in the FY 2015-16 budget, additional funding is not needed.

Annual Report — Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee — FY 2015-16 Pape 2
To insure a flow of funds for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in the
Abalone Cove area, the City Council formed the Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee. This Sewer
Maintenance Fee ensures a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of operating and
maintaining of the facilities and was established in compliance with the provisions of Proposition
218, Article XIIID of the California Constitution, Section 6(b), Mailed notices were sent to all
affected property owners and the Public Hearing was held on July 17, 2001. Since there was not a
majority of written protests, the Fee was established with a maximum annual escalator of seven
percent (7%).
This report, as signed and presented to the Council for approval, has been prepared according to
the methodology and rates approved by the City Council in 2001.
The City Council annually reviews the current and projected year's costs for the operation and
maintenance of the sewer facilities and sets the rates for the ensuing fiscal year, which runs
between July 1 and June 30. In setting the annual rates, the City Council will consider any new or
updated maintenance costs, and any fund balances or shortages, and adjust the rates accordingly.
The Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee is levied under the authority of the California Health and
Safety Code, Sections 5471 et seq. (the "Code"). Payment of the fees for each parcel will be made
in the same manner and at the same time as payments are made for property taxes for each
property.
This report contains the necessary data required to establish the annual fee rates and is submitted
to the City Clerk for filing in the office of the City Clerk where it shall remain open for public
inspection.

Annual Report - Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee - FY 2015-16 Page 4
ANNUAL, FEE RATE CALCULATIONS
The rate structure for the Sewer Maintenance Fee is based on the amount of sewage flow
generated by each parcel of land within the sewer system service area.
Equivalent Residential Units
The sewer flow rates used to calculate this User Fee are based on the Los Angeles County Sanitation
District (LACSD) standards, as outlined in their Master Service Charge Ordinance of South Bay Cities
Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, as adopted on March 18, 1998. This ordinance describes
the user categories and mean loading of sewer usage for flow in the South Bay Cities Sanitation
District of Los Angeles County.
Using these standards, residential parcels with single family homes are assigned a flow rate of 260
Gallons Per Day (GPD). Therefore, 260 GPU is defined as 1 Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) and all
other parcels are charged based on the number of ERUs calculated on their property for their
particular use. (The total flow rate for each parcel is divided by 260 to calculate the number of
ERUs assigned to the parcel.) Vacant parcels have no sewer flow associated with them and
therefore would be assigned 0 ERUs.
The Abalone Cove Beach property flow rate has been calculated based on the future improvements
to the beach. These future improvements consist of 7 toilet facilities and 2 showers. The flow rates
for these facilities are based on information provided by the City of Los Angeles Bureau of
Sanitation, and are shown below in Table 2.
Table 2 provides a summary of the user categories in the Abalone Cove sewer service area, the
assigned flow rates, and the ERU calculation for each.

Sewer System Components
The Abalone Cove sewer system is comprised of three types of components or subsystems:
# a gravity subsystem,
# a force main subsystem, and
4 a low-pressure subsystem.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes May 26, 2015
Annual Report -- Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee — FY 201516 Page 5
These different and integrated subsystems collect flows from the sewer service area and ultimately
convey it to the LACSD outfall. Flows generated by each parcel are conveyed through one or more
of these subsystems.
Each of these subsystems requires different levels of operation and maintenance arid, therefore,
have different costs associated with them, Parcels that contribute flow to a subsystem will be
charged for the operation and maintenance of that subsystem. Because the entire Abalone Cove
sewer system flows into the Palos Verdes Drive Pump Station and the 6 -inch force main and gravity
system between the pump station and the LACSD outfall, all users of the system will be charged for
the operation and maintenance of these facilities.
Gravity Subsystem. Gravity systems are the most basic of sewer systems and require minimal
routine maintenance. Parcels connected to the Gravity Subsystem would be responsible for
sharing the costs associated with maintenance of the gravity system. All parcels within the
service area contribute to this subsystem, as sewage flows contributed by each parcel are
eventually discharged into the gravity subsystem.
♦ Force Main Subsystem. Force main subsystems include pump station and pressurized pipes in
addition to gravity lines. Parcels connected to the Force Main Subsystem would be responsible
for sharing the additional costs associated with the operation and maintenance of those
components. The pump stations for these lines are located at Thyme Place, Sweetby East and
Sweetby at Altimira Canyon.
# Low Pressure Subsystem. Low pressure subsystems include grinder pumps at each user
connection to the system as well as low pressure pipes. Parcels connected to the Low Pressure
Subsystem would be responsible for sharing the associated operation and maintenance costs of
those components.
A few parcels that are connected to the gravity subsystem or the force main subsystem require
the use of a grinder pump to get their flow into the system. These parcels share in the cost of
grinder pump maintenance and are considered to be a part of the low pressure subsystem.
Rate Zones
A system of zones was developed to identify the specific combination of subsystems used by each
contributing parcel. These zones are as follows:
Zone A - Gravity subsystem only
Zone B - Gravity & Force Main subsystems
Zone C - Gravity & Low Pressure subsystems
Zone D - Gravity & Force Main & Low Pressure subsystems
Inventory of Parcels
Table 3 and Table 4, on the following page, were compiled from information obtained from the Los
