15. REPORT ITEMS

15.1

REPORT - SUMMARY OF AND RESPONSE TO WRITTEN

OBJECTIONS RECEIVED PURSUANT TO STATE BILL AB 2257

(2025), REQUIRING WOULD-BE CHALLENGERS TO EXHAUST

ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO PROPOSED

WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES FOR FISCAL YEARS

BEGINNING JULY 1, 2025 - 2029 BY TIMELY FILING WRITTEN

OBJECTIONS PRIOR TO INITIATING LITIGATION CHALLENGING

PROPOSED WATER AND WASTEWATER RATES

BACKGROUND: In September 2024, the California State legislature

adopted Assembly Bill 2257, which requires effective January 1, 2025,

that would-be challengers to proposed water and wastewater rate

changes exhaust administrative remedies by timely submitting

substantive, written objections to the City. Failure to meet this

requirement precludes would-be challengers from later bringing

litigation that would challenge the City’s proposed water and

wastewater rate change. This item will summarize all written objections

received prior to the March 5, 2025 deadline for submission, assess the

merits of written objections received, and recommend that Council, by

resolution, respond to the written objections in a manner consistent with

the requirements of AB 2257.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Water Department that

the City Council, by resolution, respond to all 10 timely received written

objections to the proposed water and wastewater rate schedules for

fiscal years beginning July 1, 2025 through 2029 by explaining the

grounds for which the objections are not resulting in amendments to the

proposed rates, and proceeding with the Proposition 218 public protest

hearing pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section

53759.1.

16.1

PUBLIC HEARING - CONSIDERATION OF 2024 WATER AND

WASTEWATER COST OF SERVICE STUDY, ADOPTION OF

PROPOSED FY25/26 THROUGH FY29/30 RATE SCHEDULE, AND

AMENDMENTS TO SANTA ROSA CITY CODE TITLE 14 POTABLE

AND RECYCLED WATER

BACKGROUND: In 2023, Santa Rosa Water (SRW) hired Hildebrand

Consulting, LLC (HC) to develop a comprehensive and detailed 10-year

financial model, followed by a thorough cost of service analysis and

recommendation of a new 5 year water and wastewater rate schedule.

The model and cost of service analysis are the primary analytical tools

for complying with Proposition 218 and determining ongoing financial

requirements for SRW, and provides the basis for the recommended

water and wastewater rate schedule.

HC found SRW’s financial health is such that annual water and

wastewater rate increases would be required for Fiscal Year (FY)

2025/26 through FY 2029/30. Proposed increases between 6-7% each

year for water fixed and usage charges, plus the re-implementation of

the wholesale rate pass-through policy, and 5% each year for

wastewater fixed and usage charges are proposed to help ensure that

SRW continues to meet all service and financial obligations.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Board of Public

Utilities and Santa Rosa Water that the Council: 1) after conducting a

protest hearing pursuant to Proposition 218, by resolution, approve 5

years of water, recycled water and wastewater fixed and usage charge

rate increases to go into effect on July 1 of each year, 2025-2029; and

2) introduce an ordinance amending Title 14 of the Santa Rosa City

Code by amending Chapter 14-04 and 14-08 to allow fixed monthly

service charges, potable and recycled water service and delivery

charges, and charges for City maintained meters on private systems to

be established by resolution of the City Council as prescribed by the

City Charter and amend Chapter 14-08 to establish potable and

recycled water rates and charges policy, rules and standards.
