Operating Reserves have been severely reduced in the last few years due to consumption <br />being less than expected, and Zone 7 costs being higher. Therefore, it is likely that a series of <br />rate increases will be necessary over the next several years, in order to once again build <br />operating reserves. If levels fall too low, it may be necessary to temporarily use some of the <br />Water Replacement Fund reserves for cash flow. Since their intended use is several years <br />into the future, we should have ample time to recover and rebuild all the reserves. A rate <br />study is currently underway, and the results are expected to be presented to Council in June. <br />C. Sewer Operating Fund <br />Net income to the Sewer Operating Fund in 2000 -01 is projected to be $318.500 Less than <br />originally adopted. There is no change in the original projection of $9.6 million in rate <br />revenue, however, the portion which goes to DSRSD is expected to be $400,000 more than <br />originally projected. A sewer rate study is expected to be completed and presented to <br />Council in June, for both the City's local system and the DSRSD regional system, including <br />LAVWMA export costs and potential debt service on the replacement portion of the planned <br />LAVWMA pipeline project. <br />D. Internal Service Funds for Employee Costs <br />As of 2000 -01, staff is proposing to fully integrate the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department <br />employee benefit accounting into its current intemal service fund benefit accounting system. <br />This will result in the Employee Benefit Fund reflecting revenue from the LPFD Fund, which <br />will offset the payments for employee benefits and other associated costs. In total, projected <br />revenue and expenditures in the Employee Benefit Fund are expected to increase by <br />$3.7 million, due primarily to the change in the LPFD accounting, along with increases in <br />employee benefit costs for health care, and the benefit costs for new employees. <br />Staff is recommending that retiree medical long -term funding contributions be increased by <br />about $460,000, which is the approximate amount employee retirement costs were decreased. <br />The State's Public Retirement Systems (PERS) has been reducing employer contribution <br />rates in the last few years, due to outstanding earnings growth. These reductions are expected <br />to be temporary, and therefore, when the 1999 00/2000 -01 budget was first adopted, staff <br />recommended that any reductions in retirement funding be added to the Retirees Medical <br />Reserve Funds to help reduce the unfunded portion. Therefore, with additional PERS rate <br />reductions for fiscal year 2000 -01, staff is recommending offsetting increases in retiree <br />medical reserve contributions. <br />15 <br />
