Process and Approach <br />Raftelis held several meetings with City staff to discuss and understand the objectives,characteristics,and <br />challenges of the City's water and recycled water utilities to provide the recommendations and results detailed in <br />this report. Raftelis confirmed various assumptions and inputs and used an iterative process to view several <br />scenarios to determine the recommended financial plan and water and recycled water rates. City staff discussed the <br />capital project requirements and water purchase cost estimates over a 10-year horizon,which are two primary <br />drivers of the future revenue needs of the utility. Raftelis then designed and presented a COS and rate model to <br />analyze various rate scenarios which fully fund the utility's revenue requirements through fair,equitable,and cost- <br />based rates. <br />The proposed financial plan detailed in this report follows industry standards for long-term financial planning.The <br />financial plan relies on reasonable assumptions based on industry indices,such as general inflation based on the <br />Consumer Price Index(CPI)and input from City staff.Raftelis worked closely with City staff to determine the <br />most accurate methodology to project future revenues and expenses to reinforce sound fiscal management <br />practices. <br />The financial plan includes the current fiscal year(FY)2023 and the five years between FY 2024 to FY 2028. Each <br />fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on July 30. For example,FY 2023 is defined as the year beginning on July 1, <br />2022 and ending on June 30,2023. The proposed rates were developed for implementation on November 1,2023 <br />in FY 2024 and in January ever year after that through FY 2026. <br />2 CITY OF PLEASANTON
