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 2011/12.
2.Adopt Resolution No.2011-, 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 2011/12,
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 broken 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 $54,041 proposed for FY 2011/12 (see
Attachment C,Operation &Maintenance,City Contribution &Total Charge).
R6876-0001\1228581 v1.doc
6-2
•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.The annual subsidy has
ranged from a maximum of $35,000 in FY's 2001/02 and 2002/03 to the $8,190
proposed subsidy for FY 2011/12 (see Attachment D,Parcel Charges by Zone).
BACKGROUND
To insure funding for the on-going operation and maintenance ofthe 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 2011/12 Engineer's Report (Attachment A,
FY 2011/12 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 2011-12,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 2011/12
Engineer's Report).The Charge for FY 2011/12 will be submitted to the County for
collection through the tax rolls.To that end,the City Council must adopt a resolution
approving the report and ordering collection of the Charge on the tax rolls (Attachment B,
Resolution No.2011 -__).
ANALYSIS
The estimated annual cost to operate and maintain the Abalone Cove Sewer System
for FY 2011/12 is $62,231,which is lower than the actual amount for FY 2010/11.The
decrease represents savings associated with lower maintenance requirements as a
result of purchasing replacement pumps.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 2011/12 Engineer's
R6876-0001\1228581v1.doc -2-
6-3
Report (Report),the City budgeted funds to accommodate a subsidy of up to $10,700.
The Report proposes a subsidy of $8,190 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 2011/12 charge for a single-family parcel ranges from $158.65 to $695.44.
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 2010/11 charges are
shown in Attachment D (Parcel Charges by Zone).
The proposed Charge varies by zone.The zones with the highest charges,Zones Band
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 the highest charges.A system of zones was
developed to identify the specific combination of subsystems used by each contributing
parcel.
The Ordinance which established the Charge also established the maximum service
charge that can be levied,which is increased each year based on increases in the
Consumer Price Index (CPI).The maximum service charges by zone for the FY 2011/12
are as follows:
FY 2011/12
Max.Rates
Zone A $158.65/ERU
Zone B $638.75 IERU
Zonee $215.34 IERU
Zone D $695.44 IERU
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
review.
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 2011/12.By adopting
staff's recommendation,Council will be levying single-family parcels ranging from $158.65
to $695.44 and subsidizing the system in the amount of $8,190.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
•Reduce or eliminate the Charge
•Reduce,eliminate or increase the subsidy
R6876-0001\1228581v1.doc -3-
6-4
Impact:
The City is required by law to insure 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 $54,041 and a City subsidy of $8,190 in general funds to maintain the Abalone
Cove sewer system for FY 2011/12.Because the Council has included funding for a
subsidy of $1 0,700 in the draft budget process,additional funding is not needed to provide
the City subsidy of $8,190.

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 on July 17,
2001.This Sewer Maintenance Fee ensures a fair and equitable levying of the necessary costs of
operating and maintaining of the facilities.
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 submitte9 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 23,2011
Page 4
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 PerDay (GPD).Therefore,260 GPD is defmed 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 ofERUs
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.
Q:\RPV\abalone cove\fy 11-12\reports\feerpt11 Fina123Junll.doc 11I1 Harris &Associates6-11
City of Rancho Palos Verdes
Annual Report -Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance Fee -FY 2011·12
June 23,2011
Page 5
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

Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District Sewer Tax Increase FY 2011=2012.
Public Hearing before RPV City Council July 19,2011 .
.1am the owner of the property at 20 Vanderlip Dr.RPV,one of the properties subject to the Sewer Tax
which is prop~sed to be increased.
I would like to register my objection to the increase stated to be caused by a CPI increase in the County
wide area that encompasses the project area.Having not had the opportunity to review the Harris
document,I question the premise of its applicability to this area.I am probably not the only property
owner whose income has not had the benefit of a CPI increase for the past three years.Additionally,I
believe it is important to note that there was an increase In the subject tax last year of over 21 %,
certainly not related entirely to CPl,but important to the taxpayer.There are several other areas of
concern relating to the subject sewer system about which I have long standing serious thoughts and
which I would be pleased to discuss with individual Council Members at a future convenient time..
