While it requires a slightly higher upfront <br />investment, it is more effective in reducing long-term infrastructure costs. Although this <br />approach demands slightly greater resources in the early years, it performs better in <br />maintaining water service levels over the 20-year period and is expected to result in fewer <br />near-term emergency mitigation needs as compared to the Stabilize scenario. <br /> <br />Under this scenario, the minimum recommended water revenue increases to meet the needs <br />are: <br />• 15 percent in FY 2025/26 and FY 2026/27 <br />• 8 percent in FY 2027/28 and FY 2028/29 <br /> <br />Additionally, the City would issue $35 million in new debt over the four-year study period: <br />• $15 million in FY 2025/26 <br />• $10 million in FY 2026/27 <br />• $10 million in FY 2027/28 <br />• No new debt in FY 2028/29 <br /> <br />This combination of rate adjustments and debt issuance ensures that the City meets all <br />financial performance targets, including maintaining reserve balances and a minimum 125 <br />Page 8 of 27
