B Christine Wampler REVIEW AND MODIFICATION OF THE SOLID WASTE RATE SETTING METHODOLOGY AND THE ASSESSMENT OF THE EXISTING RATES. Page 2 The final report from NewPoint Group is attached. The modifications and recommendations are discussed in the report on ` pages 41 through 52 of the report and are summarized below: 1. Modify the existing operating ratio to range between 88 and 92 percent (versus 86 to 90 percent now) , with a target of 90 percent. Consider establishing a cost-sharing methodology for large capital outlays. 2 . Develop a chart of accounts for allowable costs and revenues that provides reasonable caps as follows: a. Cap management fees at two percent of gross revenues, with excess fees non-allowable b. Cap disposal tipping fees earning profit at $31 per ton C. Establish specific criteria for legal fees d. Allow market-based intercompany leases (rather than converting leases to depreciation) . 3 . Create a category of costs called "pass through costs" which earn no profit, including: a. Franchise fees b. Regulatory fees C. Disposal tipping fees in excess of $31 per ton. d. All IRRF fees e. Taxes, licenses, and special fees. 4 . Develop a process for assuring that the County collects a franchise fee from RSS equal to 5 percent of residential and commercial gross revenues. 5. Clarify language regarding rate regulation of residential and commercial sectors. 6. Eliminate the "Composite Cost Index" in interim years and replace with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) . 7 . Use a "Test Year" every four years rather than the current interval of no less than every two years and discourage frequent interim year rate adjustments. 8. Eliminate all retroactive rate setting in the future, except by agreement or by party default. 9. Conduct a rate review on implementation of future automation. Staff suggests the recommendations should be implemented. Modifications should be made to the B&C methodology and the Franchise agreement should be amended where needed to accommodate the revised methodology. Staff would work with RSS to implement the recommendations. At the time that the focused review was funded for $29,980, the Board of Supervisors did not fund the second phase, called the comprehensive review, which would have cost an additional $45, 000. Staff does not recommend this review. However, staff does expect RSS to ask for a rate review in the spring of 1998 after the completion of their pilot programs testing automated service. At this time a rate review would be conducted. Members of the E1 Sobrante MAC's Ad Hoc Committee on Garbage have expressed their concern about the rates at the Integrated Resources Recovery Facility (IRRF) . Their letters and staff's responses were sent to you on November 6, 1997. Copies of these materials are attached. NewPoint did include an analysis of the IRRF rates as they contribute to the overall collection rates. The local review authority for rate setting for the IRRF is the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (WCCIWMA) . f' r.. rn G O cmc p G: r� t'� ,`••, R T 00 IkJ 4 ` _ o . o• Ilk, ro �o v Z Z c c 0 (D CD > > C r« (D 0 o o CL 0 0 0 G) G) a) 0) °, 0:3 >. c c a 0. 0 13 13 0 ;o -n 0 a r 3 cin c � rn o ~] CL O CD M o N � o rp � Q 0 CD n � O o c n O Z m 0 CNO O 00 N �Q G7 c� �h Q O i CD O i pry' @ N C� CND o N 0 (D + N n G O © tat'1. � O � O 0 r« O tp 0 . t O + ' � iZ- No. 0 0 :,,r 0.

Contra Costa County Community Development Dept. 651 Pine Street Martinez , CA 94553-1296 Dear Mr. Nylund and Ms . Moulton, Our committee sees the preliminary focus review of RSS as incom- plete. The largest element of our garbage bills, the one-third charged for the IRRF, was not considered, yet should have been. The franchise agreement, in Sections 7 and 36 , in our opinion, gives the county the authority to audit the operations of the West County Resource Recovery, ( IRRF) , an affiliate of RSS. In conjunction, enclosed ( for Mr. Nylund only) , are financial data for the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Auth- ority.* Inasmuch as .the county is a member of the WCCIWMA, we see no reason why the county or its agents can be prohibited from examining the finances and operations of that body, too. We therefor request that these two entities be included in the NewPoint study and reported on before a final report is prepared. Obviously, there can be no valid rate making methodology with- out inclusion of the IRRF costs. Sincerely, M. B.

Contra Costa County Community Development Dept. 651 Pine St. Martinez, CA 94553-1296 Dear Mr. Nylund and Ms. Moulton, Enclosed is more financial information on the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority. It appears that there is little or no support for the speculation that there is any rate relief to be found in this organization. Instead, attention needs -to be concentrated on the West County Resource Recovery. All of the background on financing, construction, operations, costs, recycling needs to be brought to light in detail to determine whether cost savings can be discovered for the benefit of rate payers. No analysis can be complete without a comparison of the WCRR data with comparable data from other area transfer stations, e.g. , Martinez, Pittsburg, Berkeley, San Leandro. Particular attention should be given to the costs of transfer stations which are added to monthly residential disposal rates.. sincerely, M. B.

Dear Mr. Gulledge: This letter is in response to your correspondence,dated September 23, 1997, regarding draft results of the review of Richmond Sanitary Service Inc. (RSS) conducted by NewPoint Group,the solid waste management consultant hired by the Community Development Department. In your letter you indicate that the IRRF facility was of "primary importance to the effort for which NewPoint Group was hired". NewPoint Group was hired to review and modify the existing refuse collection rate setting methodology and assess existing residential rates. NewPoint Group's scope of consulting services under the existing contract with the County includes analysis of those costs which the County has some authority to regulate. The IRRF rates have been regulated by the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority(Authority)since the County entered into the contract in 1993. The Authority is responsible for reviewing and setting rates uniformly charged to all jurisdictions using the IRRF. A copy of the request for proposals (RFP)which detailed the scope of the review is enclosed. As you may recall the EI Sobrante MAC's Ad Hoc Committee on Garbage participated in the drafting of the RFP and their comments were integrated into the document. The review was divided into two sections:the focused review(including key work tasks listed in sections 2.5.1 through 2.5.5); and the comprehensive review(key work tasks in sections 2.5.6 through 2.5.10). The County Supervisors voted to fund the focused review. NewPoint Group did study the inter-affiliate transactions as they related to section 2.5.3 in reviewing the current rate structure and its components. The County is a member of the Authority by way of the contract signed in 1993. The County is currently evaluating what would be required to become a voting member of the Authority. Should you have any questions concerning this response to your letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at(510) 335-1238.

Propose changes which should increase the level of efficiency (such as automated or semi-automated collection, co-collection and other waste collection technologies). Compare the proposed changes to current service levels for the purpose of assisting the County in directing establishment of cost effective service levels. 2.5.4 Submit a final report. In addition to an overall summary and significant conclusions, the report should include: a) a summary and conclusions concerning the five tasks in Section 2.5.3; b) any additional recommendations for modifications to the Barakat & Chamberlain methodology; c) a procedure for reviewing future residential rate requests based on either a change in cost of providing service or a change in services provided, including those related to technological changes; and r 4 d) recommendations for areas in which efficiency should be improved. 2.5.5 Make a presentation to appropriate staff and/or Board of Supervisors. B. Comprehensive Review 2.5.6 Expand the scope of the study to include a review of all organizational and functional areas. 2.5.7 Review all inter-affiliate transactions.

Linda Moulton cc Members Board of Supervisors Reva C|arh, Chair ESMAC NmvvPointGroup LM/mu mnl:xwttenw.o, � ` ' - ` CONTRA COSTA COUNTY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DATE: December 16, 1997 TO: Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema FROM: Linda Moulton Solid Waste Planner, Community Development SUBJECT: December 16, 1997 Board Agenda Items D.5 and D.6 This memo is in response to Supervisor Uilkema's request of December 15, asking the Community Development Department to respond to the issues raised by Milt Ketter, Chair of ESMAC Ad Hoc Garbage Committee, in his letter of December 11th. The issues raised concern agenda item D.5 concerning the County requesting to be a voting member of WCCIWAA and item D.6A, the acceptance of the consultant's report on Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS). Item D.5 Proposal for the County to have a voting member on WCCIWMA. Question one(paragraph 2): The Board of Supervisor's Ad Hoc Committee on Solid Waste referred the proposal for a County voting member on WCCIWMA to the full Board and did not make a recommendation. The County has been a contractor rather than a voting member of WCCIWMA and has never had the authority to regulate rates or negotiate the agreements. Termination of the contract with the IRRF would only be a step in the County becoming a voting member of the authority. The County has indicated to the Board of WCCIWMA that they do not want to make changes in the operating procedures and responsibilities of the authority. Question two (paragraph 3). The cost mentioned in the contract between WCCIWMA and the County in section 7.4 (a)(page 12) were for the"costs incurred in development and implementation of the IRRF from Solid Waste delivered to the IRRF from the District area". The County's fair share of such costs was 10% of the total cost incurred by the authority in the development and implementation of the IRRF to a maximum of$80,000. The County paid $28,794 to the joint operating fund at the time of the contract. An additional $64,000 was paid as a transition surcharge. Table 1 (Exhibit 1) shown in the Board Order on page C-8 shows all sources of revenue contributions from the member agencies and the County. All of the agencies paid the $64,000 as a transitional surcharge except Richmond which paid $192,000 and El Cerrito which contributed $64,000 during Fiscal year 95/96. However in addition, the member agencies paid similar funds in the fiscal year of 93/94 and at the time of the adoption of Resolution No. 92-12. In total the County, including funds from the Sanitary district, paid $104,974 while the cities of El Cerrito,Hercules, Pinole and San Pablo paid$217,225 and Richmond paid $651,675. The average paid per voting member was $203,194. This $203,194 less the $104,974 paid by the County is $98,220. The eighty thousand dollars discussed in the contract does not refer to the full cost involved in establishing the IRRF. n ' Questions three and four: In paragraph 4, these two questions appear to be legal questions that can best be addressed by County Counsel. Item D.6A. Question five(in paragraph 5): The RFP which was issued concerning the study of RSS directed the consultant, NewPoint Group, to do a focused review to (1) review and modify the Barakat and Chamberlain rate setting methodology to reflect current solid waste industry standards; (2)using the modified and approved methodology, review RSS's audited financial statements for 1994-1996, analyzing the annual expenses/cost and revenues; and (3) submit a final report giving summaries and conclusions. NewPoint Group did analyze the IRRF rates as they contribute to the overall collection rates of RSS. However the tasks did not include an audit of the IRRF. The Franchise agreement with RSS (Section 7, p.7 as noted in Mr. Ketter's letter and attached as exhibit 2)does allow the County to examine the records of RSS. A copy of this section is attached. However, this is an agreement with RSS and not the IRRF. While the records of the IRRF are available to the public, the scope of the study did not include a full review of IRRF rates. The local review authority for rate setting for the IRRF is WCCIWMA. While the County could fund a review of the IRRF, it would seem to be a duplication of the authority of WCCIWMA at additional cost to the rate payers and the County would not have the authority to make any changes to the IRRF's rate structure. Mr. Ketter's last paragraph urges the Board to fund Phase II which was called the comprehensive review in the RFP. The Board voted to fund Phase I and consider Phase II pending the results of the Phase I study. However, the tasks in Phase II did not include a review of the IRRF and the letter from the ESMAC Ad Hoc Garbage Committee dated February 26, 1997 did not request that the IRRF be specifically included. Staff incorporated the request from ESMAC into the focused review and into the comprehensive review. NewPoint Group did bring the methodology up to date to reflect current standards in the industry, did look at the composition of the costs within the current rate structure; and made recommendations to modify the methodology so that it can be used in a rate review in the near future. NewPoint Group discussed the proposed changes with RSS, the County and the ESMAC Ad Hoc Garbage Committee in separate meetings. Staff would work with RSS to modify the language in the methodology and the Franchise Agreement, where necessary, to implement the changes. cc Members, Board of Supervisors R LM 1:a:\mem\12-16d5&.6 � 0 m a.

December 16, 1997 TO: The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors CONSIDER WITH FROM: C. William Kassel, El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Councilmember, elect RE: Comments on NewPoint Group's Review of RSS and intercompany affiliates We are heartened by a number of recommendations by New Point Group which were an outcome of their study of Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS) which if put in place will make some impact on the future outcomes of ratesetting. However, there are some issues that L as a member of the ESMAC AD HOC Garbage committee have concerns about and which either were not addressed in the New Point Group final report. • I would like to draw ;your attention to the RFP issued by Linda Moulton on April 10, 1997 entitled, "?Modification of rate setting methodology used by the County and residential rates charges by RSS to the unincorporated West County Customers" (see attached copy) and which was the basis of NewPoint's contract for the audit. • What is sought after in the RFP "Focused Review" beginning on page 3. item #2.5 A. and more importanth- continuing on p.4 #2.5.3 f)where in the RFP states the consultant firm must . "eaaming RSS's operation to evaluate whether RSS is operating at a satisfactory level of efficiency...Propose changes which should increase the level of efficiency (such as automated or semi-automated collection, co-collection and other waste collection technologies). Compare the proposed changes to current service levels for the purpose of assisting the County in directing establishment of cost effective service levels. and then in 2.5.4 Submit in a final report a summan, and conclusions concerning the five tasks in 2.5.3 f) above. In my opinion, this is one area the NewPoint failed their charge by the RFP or misinterpreted. I will show you why I have this opinion: • On page 29, N. NewPoint Group Findings, entitled "Issued (sic) Raised by El Sobrante Municipal Advisory Committee (see attached), in item #5, we asked NewPoint to, "evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of RSS and affiliate management". As you see, the ESMAC committee clearly is asking the same thing that is setforth in the RFP. However, NewPoint's response in their Comments on the same page opposite our request was that they did not examine those issues and further stated, "A performance audit was not in the scope of this focused review".Neither the RFP or the ESMAC asked for a performance audit. NewPoint was charged to examine "RS S's operation to evaluate whether RSS is operating at a satisfactory level of efficiency" • The specific area of major concern and not addressed for our committee is the IRRF fee which is one-third of our garbage rate. According to the report, the West County Recycling Recovery, Inc. (WCRR) is certainly by definition a intercompany/affiliate and subject to NewPoint's analysis. In addition the IIZRF is included in the NewPoint list of intercompany/affiliate transactions which comprise the residential and commercial rates for the unincorporated County. Now because of these two facts above, it is clear to me that both the WCRR and the IRRF should have been analyzed per the ............ Moreover, since we were told by the two consultant's of NewPoint who did this study that they themselves had questions about building the IRRF for $17 million in bond funding ........ and then when they found out that an additional $12 million of the "private owners of RS S" investment to build the IRRF facility '� • It is clear from the RFP and the points stated above that the analysis of WCRR and the IRRF which are expense components of our residential and commercial rates were fair game to be reviewed under the 2.5.3. and 2.5.4 sections of the RFP. I feel that the NewPoint report is not complete until a thorough study in this Phase I includes the WCRR and their running of the IRRF (whose fee comprises one-third of our rate)is also reported on publicly. For the above reason. I urge the Board of Supervisor's to not accept this report and ask NewPoint to finish their responsibilities under the RFP. If you choose to accept the Phase I report, then I petition this Board to fund a small, focused second phase to review the WCRR and operation of the IRRF facility. r Director of Community Development. Staff will approve the quality of work products submitted, act as liaison between the Consultant and the Director of Community Development and administer payments of invoices. 2.4 Desired Qualifications and Experience The Consultant must have the experience and skills necessary to analyze and provide information on different types of rate setting methodologies and the impacts of the methodologies on rates. The Consultant shall use the services of a Certified Public Accountant for the task of reviewing any financial records necessary to complete the tasks in Section 2.5 (see Section 7 of the Franchise Agreement.) The Consultant must have the ability to prepare reports in a clear and precise manner and make presentations as needed. 2.5 Key Work Tasks A. Focused Review 2.5.1 a) Review the Barakat & Chamberlain Rate Setting Methodology b) Review other background documentation related to the methodology (including but not limited to the Franchise Agreement and RSS Financial Statements). 2.5.2 a) Recommend appropriate modifications to the Barakat & Chamberlain methodology. b) The modifications should: (1) make the methodology more appropriate for County use; (2) updated it to reflect current solid waste industry standards and operational conditions; and (3) be consistent with the terms of the Franchise Agreement and generally accepted accounting principles. c) The modified methodology should also provide a process for reviews of future residential rate requests and service changes, including those resulting from technological improvements such as co-collection, automated or semi-automated collection. d) Provide recommendations to the County and obtain approval of 3 modifications before commencing with remaining tasks. Attend a hearing if necessary for staff and/or Board of Supervisors. 2.5.3 Using the modified and approved Barakat & Chamberlain rate setting methodology: a) review RSS's audited financial statements for 19941996; b) analyze annual expenses/costs and revenues (including intercompany/affiliate transactions as allowed by the Franchise Agreement)which comprise the residential and commercial rates for the unincorporated County; c) review the current residential rate structure and its components; d) given RSS's current costs, calculate the range of rates that would be consistent with the operating ratio as identified in the Franchise Agreement; e) examine the method of allocating costs to the County; and f) examine RSS's operation to evaluate whether RSS is operating at .a satisfactory level of efficiency (as allowed by 13(a) of the Franchise Agreement). Propose changes which should increase the level of efficiency (such as automated or semi-automated collection, co-collection and other waste collection technologies). Compare the proposed changes to current service levels for the purpose of assisting the County in directing establishment of cost effective service levels. 2.5.4 Submit a final report. In addition to an overall summary and significant conclusions, the report should include: a) a summary and conclusions concerning the five tasks in Section 2.5.3; b) any additional recommendations for modifications to the Barakat & Chamberlain methodology; c) a procedure for reviewing future residential rate requests based on either a change in cost of providing service or a change in services provided, including those related to technological changes; and 4 TO:_, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS �r FROM: DENNIS M.

Contra ° COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR „ Costa n DATE: December 9, 1997 o,q o � County_ SUBJECT: ADOPT CHANGES TO THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTION RATES CHARGED TO CUSTOMERS IN UNINCORPORATED WEST COUNTY SERVED BY RICHMOND SANITARY SERVICE. SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS 1. ACCEPT the 1998 IRRF (Transfer station) Solid Waste rates adopted by the West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority (WCCIWMA). 2. AUTHORIZE the cessation of the payment of$.94 per can to residential customers from the reserve fund. Acknowledge that the return of the reserves approved on April 23, 1996 was completed as of July 1997. 3. INSTITUTE a 5 percent Franchise Fee (Regulatory Service Surcharge) for commercial Solid Waste service in the unincorporated area served by Richmond Sanitary Services (RSS). Allocate commercial franchise fees in the same manner as residential fees from RSS. FISCAL IMPACT No impact to the general fund. Instituting a Franchise Fee on commercial revenue will generate funds for Solid Waste programs. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS On November 13, 1997 the WCCIWMA Board voted to accept the changes in rates as recommended by the Executive Director, Bill Davis. The 1998 IRRF-Related collection rates are shown in Exhibit A. The decrease in the rate from 1997 for a single 32 gallon can is 26¢, (from $6.99 to $6.73) while the drop box service decrease is 24¢.

The per can IRRF-related rates approved by West Contra Costa Integrated Waste Management Authority are passed on to all customers located in member agencies jurisdiction served by Richmond Sanitary Service (including cities of Richmond, San Pablo, Pinole, Hercules and the unincorporated area:) On April 23, 1996 the Board voted to refund the $113,000 reserves which had accumulated in the County's account. Return of the reserves provided a rate decrease of 94¢ per can to residential customers for one year. The refund began as of July 1996: In interest of not having multiple changes in rates and because of the review under taken on RSS's rate structure as directed by the Board, the temporary rate reduction was not altered in July, but will coincide with the IRRF's rate change. The reinstatement of the 94¢ will by partially offset by the 26¢ decrease in IRRF rate resulting in a net increase of 68¢ per 32 gallon can. Exhibit B is a copy of the July 23, 1996 Board order and the.accompanying memo from Ad Hoc Solid Waste Committee. On December 19, 1995 the Board approved an addition of a Regulatory Service Surcharge (Franchise Fee) of 5% which has been paid to the County to administer to RSS/County Franchise Agreement. It was estimated that the 5% would translate to a 75¢ per can increase. Because a fee was not set on the commercial solid waste revenue, the County has not been collecting the full 5% surcharge on all revenues. In the recent report on RSS rate setting methodology and rates, the consultants, NewPoint Group, recommended that the County develop a process for assuring that the County collects a franchise fee from RSS equal to 5% of residential and commercial gross revenues. They recommended that the County and RSS develop a process to assure franchise fees of 5% of gross residential and commercial revenues are collected. The first step would be to institute collection of the fee on commercial revenue. A second step would be to work with RSS to adjust the rates in the future to so they are consistent with collecting the 5% on overall revenue. Exhibit C includes the original Board Order setting the regulatory service surcharge on residential rates and the recommendation from the NewPoint Group's report concerning franchise fees.

The reduction is proposed to come from two sources. One is to double the length of time that repayment will take place to Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS) for previously deferred costs. The other will be to return the reserve that has accumulated in the County's account. To extend repayment of money owed RSS can reduce current rates by 87¢ per can, but will extend the charge from four years to ten years. Return of the reserves will provide a rate decrease of 94¢. per can for one year, but will eliminate the $113,000 reserves. As the Integrated Resource Recycling Facility (IRRF) has come on-line in West County, the cost of refuse collection and disposal has increased substantially. Most jurisdictions are scrambling to meet the objections of ratepayers. The rates in West County are among the highest in Contra Costa. Each jurisdiction is attempting to negotiate with RSS to reduce rates. In some cases, this has meant some reduction in service. The single issue regarding return of the reserves is that some amount should remain in the event of an unexpected cost, such as the County may elect to perform any studies or reviews of rates in the future years. Based on information from the Authority, RSS may request an increase in rates and there is concern on the part of other public agencies that a rate review is warranted. If the County participate in this rate review, its share would be between $20-35,000. The County doesn't have any reserves; the funds would have to come from the General Fund or from a rate increase or the County would have to pass on participation. Based on this, retention of some amount of the reserves appears prudent, but it is up to the Solid Waste Committee and the Board to determine how much or whether the pressing need for rate relief should override opportunities for future study funding. VA:dg adhom 4.t4 C. Supervisor Rogers Supervisor Bishop Supervisor Torlakson r i • EXHIBIT C Rate increase: Richmond Sanitary Service December 19, 1995 Continued - Page Three BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS (continued) level of service as before, but allow them to ask for the service when needed. This would assure that the customers could make use of the service on an as needed basis and not be subject to the schedule of the waste hauler. There will be a cost savings of $ 0.16 per can for this change in service. Second, the price of a second can has historically been provided at a discounted rate. However staff proposes that the cost of the second can be the same price as the first can. This would discourage disposal and encourage recycling. The same measure is being implemented by the Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority for the new franchise for Central County. The County's Source Reduction and Recycling Element selected "variable can rates" as a high priority program to be implemented early in the process of reducing the amount of solid waste deposited in landfills. With variable can rates the customer pays for disposal based on the volume disposed. Some West County cities are also exploring the option of raising the second can rate to be equal to the the single can rate. By raising the second can rate to equal the first it would result in an approximate $ 0.50 reduction per can/per month for the single can customers and a $ 3.00 increase to the cost of a second can. Regulatory Service Surcharge. The addition of a Regulatory Service Surcharge of 5% (as previously considered) which would be paid to the County for the administration of the RSS/County Franchise Agreement will result in a $ 0.75 per can increase. Currently there is no surcharge or fee in place to offset costs associated with the administration of the RSS/County Franchise Agreement. However, the County has the right to impose a surcharge under the Franchise Agreement and there is a need to do so to offset costs. On August 8, 1995 the Board approved the Solid Waste Management Budget (prepared by County GMEDA & Community Development Department) which called for the placement of a surcharge/fee on the County solid waste franchise agreements. The West County cities currently collect franchise fees under their Franchise Agreements with Richmond Sanitary Service (RSS). The franchise fees range from just under 2% to 5%.
