ABALONE COVE SEWER SERVICE CHARGE
CAROLYN LEHR, CITY MANAGER Q)2._
Ron Dragoo, Senior Enginee~
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 2013/14, which provides for a
maximum increase of 2% in the fees collected.
2. Adopt Resolution No. 2013-, 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 2013/14,
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 $49,370 which was collected in FY 2012/13
(see Attachment C, Operation & Maintenance, City Contribution & Total Charge).
R6876-0001\1228581 v1 .doc
2-2
• 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 $35,000 in FY's
2001/02 and 2002/03 to $8, 190 in FY 2011/12 (see Attachment D, Parcel Charges
by Zone).
BACKGROUND
To insure funding for the on-going operation and maintenance of the sewer facilities in the
ACLAD 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 2013/14 Engineer's Report (Attachment A,
FY 2013/14 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 seq. (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 2013-14, 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 2013/14
Engineer's Report). The Charge for FY 2013/14 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 8,
Resolution No. 2013 -__ ).
ANALYSIS
The estimated annual cost to operate and maintain the Abalone Cove Sewer System
for FY 2013/14 is $96,380, which is higher than the actual amount for FY 2012/13. The
increase represents increased maintenance requirements and funding a grinder pump
maintenance plan to increase the reliability of the budgeted maintenance estimate for
the low pressure grinder pumps. During the past year the maintenance requirements
associated with the grinder pumps was excessive. Many of the pumps in service are
2-3
failing and need replacement. Staff is working out the details of a maintenance contract
with the factory authorized repair facility to provide the maintenance required to all low
pressure pumps operational. The negotiated cost of the service is $14, 700 and it will
cover all of the low pressure pumps in the Abalone Cove System. Other additional
maintenance work anticipated this year includes inspecting and cleaning all of the
manholes in the system and video inspecting 17 ,000 feet of the sewer mainline. 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 2013/14 Engineer's
Report (Report), the City budgeted funds to accommodate a subsidy of $10,700. The
Report proposes a subsidy of $40,050 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 2013/14 charge for a single-family parcel ranges from $163.92 to $718.57.
The charges for all zones (A, B, C and D) are at the maximum allowable rates. A
description of the various zones and their historic and proposed FY 2013/14 charges are
shown in Attachment D (Parcel Charges by Zone).
The proposed Charge varies by zone. 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. Some
of the low pressure pumps are reaching the end of their useful life and need repairing or
replacing. Staff will put 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 increase and the net result is a small overall increase which results in a
requirement for a higher subsidy for this Zone. The system of zones was developed to
identify the specific combination of subsystems used by each contributing parcel.
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 2013/14 are as follows:
FY 2012/13
Max. Rates
Zone A $163.92 /ERU
ZoneB $660.00 /ERU
ZoneC $222.51 /ERU
ZoneD $718.57 /ERU
2-4
City Council has directed staff to develop a procedure to reduce the City subsidy to
zero. Harris & Associates has been retained to assist Staff with this effort. In coming
months Staff plans to bring forward a citywide sewer system funding plan for Council
consideration.
CONCLUSIONS
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 2013/14. By adopting
staff's recommendation, Council will be levying single-family parcels ranging from $163.92
to $718.57 and subsidizing the system in the amount of $40,050.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
• Reduce or eliminate the Charge
• Reduce, eliminate or increase the subsidy
Impact:
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.
FISCAL IMPACT
By adopting the staff recommendation, Council will be approving a total sewer service
charge of $56,330 and a City subsidy of $40,050 in general funds to maintain the Abalone
Cove sewer system for FY 2013/14. Because the Council has included funding for these
costs in the FY 2013-14 budget, additional funding is not needed.

INTRODUCTION
June 11, 2013
Page2
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 Cit)r 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 FEE RATE CALCULATIONS
June 11, 2013
Page4
The rate structure for the Sewer Maintenance Fee is based on the amount of sewage flow generated
by each parcel ofland 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 GPD 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 ER Us
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
+ a low-pressure subsystem.
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.

2-12
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Annual Report-Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee -FY 2013-14
June 11, 2013
Page5
Each of these subsystems requires different levels of operation and maintenance and, 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
Angeles County Assessor's Roll, Assessor's Parcel Maps, and the City of Rancho Palos Verdes.

2013. At such hearing, the City Council heard and considered all objections and
protests, if any, to the Report and all testimony regarding the proposed levy of the
Charge for Fiscal Year 2013-14.
Section 2. The City council hereby overrules any and all objections to the
Report; determines that no majority protest against the Report, determined in
accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 5473.2, exists; approves and finally
adopts the Report as filed; determines that the Charge for Fiscal Year 2013-14 against

each parcel described in the Report shall be as described in the Report; and orders that
the Charge shall be collected for Fiscal Year 2013-14 on the County of Los Angeles tax
roll in the same manner, by the same persons, and at the same time as, together with
and not separately from, the general taxes of the City.
Section 3. The City Clerk is directed to file a copy of the Report, with a
statement endorsed on the Report over the City Clerk's signature that the Report has
been approved and finally adopted, with the City Treasurer on or before August 8, 2013
pursuant to Section 5 of the Ordinance.
