Modified Alternative <br /> In addition to the recommendation, an alternative of a two-year rate increase of 30% in <br /> FY 2024 and 20% in FY 2025 was presented at the September 19 City Council meeting. <br /> Staff is further refining and modifying the 'alternative recommendation' to reduce the <br /> second year (FY 2025) rate revenue increase to 12%. This approach prolongs the water <br /> enterprise fund "reset" and will result in the enterprise fund balance dipping to $6.3 <br /> million, or 17% of operating and maintenance (O&M) expenses (which is less than half <br /> of the reserve target). <br /> Proposition 218 Compliance <br /> Since the modified alternative recommendation outlines an option for a rate in FY 2025 <br /> that is at an amount lower than what was published in the notice sent to ratepayers, the <br /> notice and the alternative's consistency with the rate study methodology complies with <br /> California Constitution Article XIII D §6. <br /> Rate Impacts for Reduced Year 2 Increase <br /> The impact on rates and customers for this modified alternative is shown below. <br /> Table 1: Modified Alternative Rate Increase <br /> Description FY 2024 FY 2025 <br /> Rate Increase 30.0% 12.0% <br /> Figure 1: Modified Alternative Total Ending Fund Balance <br /> Fund Balances - Total Funds <br /> $14 <br /> C <br /> o $12 <br /> $10 $8.4 <br /> $6.3 <br /> $6 <br /> $4 <br /> $2 <br /> $0 <br /> FY 2024 FY 2025 <br /> �■ Ending Balances —Reserve Target <br /> 2of5 <br />
