CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REOUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Master Services Memorandum of Understanding with the Water Department for payment
of City services for FY 2010-11.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Water Department and City enter into a Master Services Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), for the City to provide various support services for the water and
sewer treatment operations. On April 19, 2011, the Water Department approved payment
of a Master Services MOU for Fiscal Year 2010-11. On May 16,2011, the proposed
agreement was presented to the Mayor and Common Council for consideration and was
continued until the Cost Allocation Plan (CAP) and Right of Way Study (ROW) were
completed. Now that the CAP and ROW have been completed, the MOU for FY 2010-
2011 can be finalized.
The MOU has been modified to now include three types of costs to the Water
Department. The first type of cost is the allocated central support costs that are included
in the CAP. The CAP costs replace the previous central support costs that were
individually listed in the MOU as well as paid for with the flat 10% transfer from Water
to the City. Having these costs documented in an approved CAP helps ensure the City
and Water Department are in compliance with Proposition 218. The costs allocated in the
CAP were calculated based on the "best available data and methodology at this time".
The City and Water Department staff have agreed to continue meeting to further refine
both the data and methodology and any necessary adjustments for future years will be
brought back for approval.
The second type of cost is the rental fee for use of the City's Right-of-Way by utilities.
Since Water has underground infrastructure in the City's right-of-way area, a standard
method was used to calculate the value of the public right-of-way and an inventory of the
space occupied was computed. From this data a reasonable rental fee was established.
The third type of cost is the direct billed contract costs. These costs are not included in
the CAP and therefore the Water Department is directly billed for the services they
receive. The City's Internal Service Funds are all direct billed services which include
such services as Information Technology (IT), Telephone Support, and Worker's
Compensation. In addition to direct billed contracts for the Internal Service Funds, the
Water Department also has a direct bill contract with the City for AB 2766
Transportation Services. By participating in the City's transportation services, the Water
Department is able to maintain compliance with the Air Quality Management District
(AQMD) regulations.
Attachment I provides a summary breakdown of all the costs to be included in the FY
2010-2011 MOU with the Water Department. These costs are distributed between the
water and sewer treatment operations in the Water Department.
FINANCIAL IMP ACT:
The reimbursement amounts to the City from the Water Department's Master Services
Memorandum of Understanding are as follows:
IT Fund (679)
FY 10111
$3,853,800
10,000
5,200
28,230
126,400

Total

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM

FROM:
DATE:
August 12,2011
RE:
Master Services MOU and Cost Allocation Plan
CC:
Diane C. Roth, Sr. Assistant City Attorney; Stephanie D. Easland, Sr. Assistant City
Attorney
On the August 15, 20 II Council Meeting Agenda are the following two related items:
18. Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the City
Manager to execute a Master Services Memorandum of Understanding with the Water Department
for provision of City services for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 and 2011/2012.
21. Full Cost Allocation Plan Report and Right of Way Study.
I recomniend that the Mayor and Council continue both of these items to the September 6,
2011 Council meeting because of the legal issues raised in the attached Memorandum from Stacey R
Aldstadt, General Manager of the Water Department to Mayor Patrick Morris regarding the "Full
Cost Allocation Plan Report for FY 2010-11". Ms. Aldstadt correctly outlines several Proposition
218 issues which must be resolved before the Mayor and Council takes action on both of these items.
Ms. Aldstadt will be on vacation out of the state and will not attend the August 15,2011 Council
meeting.
If the Mayor and Council proceeds to approve the proposed Master Services MOD at the
August 15,2011 Council Meeting, the Board of Water Commissioners would still have to consider
this proposed agreement at their meeting on September 6, 2011 before the agreement can be
implemented.

ATTACHMENT: "City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department Cost
Allocation PIan Review - August 4, 2011"
On Friday, August 5, 2011, Art Griffith (SAle) and I again met with representatives from
the City to discuss the Matrix Cost Allocation Plan (CAP). Also present at the meeting were
you, Jim Morris, Gary Goelitz and Greta Davis (Matrix), Andrea Travis-Miller, Barbara
Pachon, and Diane Roth. This meeting was the City's response to my July 5, 2011
memorandum to Henry Empefio.
While the two sides have been debating the merits of the Matrix numbers, the Master
Services Agreement (MSA) for FY 2010/2011 (effective for the period of time between July
1,2010 and June 30, 2011 -last year'! MSA) has been continued for approval many times.
The Board of Water Commissioners approved the FY 2010/2011 MSA earlier this year,
before the Matrix CAP was provided to the Department.
At the August 5"' meeting, we were provided with a nine-page table showing the City's
response to my memorandum dated July 5, 2011, a one-page table entitled "Estimated
Impacts on Utility Funds and Rates Cost Allocation/Right of Way Study Analysis, and a
one-page table entitled "Sewer Funds 5 Year Phased in Cost Adjustments Cost
Allocation/Right of Way Analysis."
We certainly appreciate the time and effort expended in the City's response and, as you
envisioned, look forward to setting aside differences of opinion regarding the CAP.
However, in light of the very serious consequences of fiUling to comply with the
requirements of Proposition 218 (now codified as California Constitution Articles XIII C
and D), it is incumbent upon the Department to continue to clarify its position regarding
the methodology used by Matrix to allocate costs. This is true because, in order to
withstand a challenge based on Proposition 218, the Department (and the City) must be
prepared to demonstrate that water and sewer treatment rates do not exceed the funds
"FULL COST ALLOCATION PLAN REPORT for FY 2010-11"

required to provide the property related service. Howard Jarvis T oxpq)'ers Asm., et at. v. City of
Fremo (2005) 127 CaJ. AppA'" 914.
Moreover, the services allocated to the Department cannot be "general governmental
services including, but not limited to, police, fire, ambulance or library services, where the
service is available to the public at large in substantially the same manner as it is to property
owners." Howard Janis T oxpq)'m Asm., stpra, 127 CaI. App.4'" at p. 923, citations omitted.
At the August 5'" meeting, at my request, and because we had not had the opportunity to
review it before the meeting, we did not review the item-by-item response provided to the
Department's July 5, 2011 memorandum. Rather, we focused on the "Estimated Impacts
on Utility Funds" spreadsheet. It appeared, from the spreadsheet, that the Water Fund
would be asked to contribute $3,353,800, but would then be credited with $1,256,900 for
the cost of water used by the City (a cost that has, to date, been zero up to the City's
negotiated baseline). The $3,353,800 does not include the costs to be paid to the IT
department. The Sewer Fund would be asked to contribute $500,000, or the same amount it
has been contributing absent a CAP.
The City insisted that time was of the essence and desired adoption of the FY 2010/2011
Master Services Agreement at the August 15, 2011 council meeting. The City indicated it
would provide the Department with a revised Master Services Agreement by Monday,
August 8, 2011, with the plan that the Department could review the language and make any
changes in time for the August 15'" council meeting.
The Department asked for justification for the contribution from the Sewer Fund and we
were then given the "Sewer Funds 5 Year Phased in Cost Adjustments" spreadsheet, which
indicated an i.crease to the allocation for "Water Sewer Treatment" over the next five years.
The increase results in an allocation by FY 2015-2016 of $1,331,900. The spreadsheet did
not explain how the allocation had been made. Again, that justification was to be provided
in time to review it, adjust it and discuss any changes before the council meeting.
The Department was provided a draft staff report and a revised MSA on August 9, 201 I.
The justification for the sewer treatment/sewer collection allocation and increases was
provided to the Department on August 10, 2011 at approximately noon.
After assimilating all of the new information provided, it appears that it may not be possible
to achieve fully both goals of finishing this regrettably divisive discussion and complying
with Proposition 218.
COST ALLOCATION PLAN FOR WATER FUND:
There continue to be costs allocated to the Water Fund that are not reasonably related to the
cost of service. Costs allocated "based on budget size" for the Mayor's office, the Council
office, the City Manager's office (Administration and Neighborhood Services), Finance
"FUll COST ALLOCATION PLAN REPORT for FY 2010-11"

(General Accounting and PurchllSing) 0($89,238, $58,215, $159,458 and $75,631,
respectively, are based on a fundamentally flawed methodology.
Matrix defends this methodology as following "financial best practices in Cost Allocation
principles," but fails to account for the governmental organization differences posed by the
City's Charter. It defies common sense to say that the Water Department imposes the same
organizational burdens on the Mayor's office, Council office and the City Manager's office
as any other department in the City Qess 25% as an arbitrary reduction) because the Charter
provides that these offices cannot have the same organizational involvement. Charter
Section 163 provides that the Board of Water Commissioners is enpowered to "generally
regulate, control, manage, renew, repair and extend me entire water system of the City."
The Board of Water Commissioners executes mese powers through its General Manager,
who has management oversight over the functions of me Water Department. That is not
the case wim other city departments.
The Finance department for me City does not perform any fmancial or accounting
functions for the Water Department. As has been explained several times, the Water
Department uses a cost accounting memod, to track costs related to projects, as befits a
utility's enterprise funds. The City does not use the same memod. The City does not
provide any purchasing support fimction to the Water Department. In fact, to make
matters perfectly clear, me City's Finance Department does not provide any "support"
function for me Water Department in Finance whatsoever. It is a clear misstatement of
facts to say that the Water Department provides its own "supplemental support" to the
City's Finance Department. Simply making the statement, as Matrix does, does not make it
true.
Imposition of these costs will violate the terms of Proposition 218.
Additionally, allocations for Fire and Police-related costs (Fire Emergency Communication,
Fire Rescue, and Police PatroQ are based on flawed or incomplete data, such that while me
methodology usedmay be valid, the numbers are still insupportable because of bad input
data. The data and methodology begs the question as to whether these services are "general
governmental services," which are not to be allocated pursuant to Howard Jam! T axp'!Jm
Au".
We continue to maintain that the costs allocated from the Water Fund to ROW tree
trimming and concrete maintenance are inflated, as set forth in the July 5, 2011 letter.
Nonetheless, the Water Department is prepared to accept the following cost allocation to
the Water Fund for the purposes of approving the revised MSA for FY 2010/2011
(provided that the language of the revised MSA is changed to reflect a one year deal):

COST ALLOCATION FOR SEWER FUND:
There continue to be costs allocated to the Sewer Fund that are not reasonably related to the
cost of service. Costs allocated "based on budget size" for the Mayor's office, the Council
office, the City Manager's office (Administration and Neighborhood Services), Finance
(General Accounting and Purchasing) of $75,938, $49,539, $117,501 and $64,359,
respectively, are based on the same fund2mentally flawed methodology outlined above.
According to the latest breakdown provided to the Department, Matrix has allocated
$345,790 for Right of Way (ROW) tree trimming to the sewer treatment system. This
demonstrates a misunderstanding of the physical properties of the sewer treatment system.
As you know, the City owns and maintains the sewer collection system, which consists of
sewer pipelines and lift stations. The Water Department owns and operates the treatment
system, which is located on one large piece of land off of E Street. The Water Department
maintains all of the landscaping (induding tree trimming) on this piece of property.
Additional treatment is provided by the tertiary treatment plant located in Colton. There is
no City tree trimming attributable to the sewer treatment system, so the $345,790 figure
cannot be reasonably related to the provision of sewer treatment
Further objection is made to the allocation between sewer treatment and sewer collection.
The new information provided shows that Matrix has allocated much of the total $1.7
million overall sewer "general govemmental" costs (e.g., Mayor's office, City Clerk, City
Manager, fIR, etc.) to sewer treatment, rather than sewer collection. Of the $2.16 million,
sewer treatment is allocated $1.33 million and sewer collection (the 510 miles, plus, pipelines
and lift stations) is allocated $347,555.
The City intends to maintain the allocation from the Sewer Fund for fY 2010/2011 at its
current $500,000, but then intends to begin increasing the assessment over FY 2011/2012 to
FY 2015/2016 to the $1.33 million number.
The current City draft for adoption of the CAP and the MSA states:
"FULL COST AlLOCATION PLAN REPORT for FY 2010-11"
August 11,2011
PageS
"The Sewer Treatment per the CAP/ROW should actually be paying just over $1.3 million
of the total Sewer costs of $2,162,400. Since the Sewer Treatment fund does not currently
have funds available to pay this amount, it is proposed that these costs be phased in over a S
year period. Attachment 3 provides the proposed schedule for phasing in the payment of
these costs. In FY 2010-2011, the City Sewer Collection will pay the higher CAP/ROW
costs, and each year as the Sewer Treatment increases its payment for the CAP /ROW, the
cost to the Sewer Collection will decrease by a corresponding amount By implementing a
phased schedule, there will be no net increase in cost due to the CAP/ROW for sewer
. "
setV1ce.
There are several problems with this:
(1) The costs for general governmental services are disproportionately attributed to
sewer treatment. For example, sewer treatment is assessed $117,501 from the City
Manager's office for "administration and community relations." The sewer
collection system is assessed $8,272 for the same services. The explanation from
Matrix is that the costs were "allocated based on budget size." That means that,
because the Sewer Fund is much larger than the Sewer Collection Fund, the Sewer
Fund pays more. However, again, this ignores the reality that the City Manager
manages the sewer collection system, through public works, and the Water
Department General Manager manages the sewer treatment system.
(2) The sewer treatment facilities are regional facilities. Other municipalities (Highland
and Lorna Linda) are impacted by this cost allocation.
(3) Because the proportionate share for sewer treatment is not based on organizational
realities, the allocation violates Proposition 218.
Again, the Water Department is prepared to accept the following cost allocation to the
Sewer Fund for the purposes of approving the revised MSA for FY 2010/2011 (provided
that the language of the revised MSA is changed to reflect a one year deal):
MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT CONTRIBUTION
(SEWER FUND) F/Y 2010/2011
General Fund I $500,000
FY 2010/2011 MSA
The City indicates that it intends to extend the MSA for two years (FY 2010/2011 and FY
2011/2012). This is problematic in that much of the data and some of the methodology
used to develop the CAP must still be discussed and refined. Arguably, although flawed, the
data and methodology could be used to justify one year of cost allocations, but the Water
Department does not want to approve the continued use of flawed data and poorly
developed methodology.
"FUll COST AllOCATION PLAN REPORT for FY 2010-11"
August 11,2011
Page 6
With the above-outlined concerns in mind, the Water Department offers the following
roadmap for consideration:
First, continue adoption of the FY 2010-2011 Master Services Agreement to September 6,
2011. Edit the FY 2010-2011 MSA to reflect the following negotiated CAP numbers:
MASTER SERVICES F/Y 2010/2011
General Fund (incl. CAP/ROW) $3,353,800
Emplovee Assistance Program $10,000
AB 2766 Fund $5,200
Telephone Call Center Support $28,230
Estimated Telephone Support Fund $126,400
Estimated Worker's Compensation $412,000
IT Fund $522,267
General Fund $500.000
TOTAL $4,957,897
The FY 2010-2011 MSA should state that the allocated costs were calculated based on the
"best available data and methodology at the time, but that the City and the Water
Department will meet to further refine both the data and methodology."
Second, bring the FY 2011-2012 Master Services Agreement to council with substantially
the same numbers and with a similar caveat that the "best available data and methodology
have been applied at this time. The City and the Water Department agree to meet to further
refine both."
Third, set up a small working group to discuss further refinement of data and methodology,
with the goal to establish a multi-year Master Services Agreement reflecting future
negotiations.
In addition, the Water Department will be amending its Rules and Regulations, Rule 21, to
eliminate the provision of free water to the City.
The Department believes that these issues can be resolved with further dialogue between
the parties and remains committed to doing what is best for the City, the Department and
the ratepayers.
Very truly yours,
~~

Review of August 4 Draft of Cost Allocation Plan
August 10, 2011
Summary
Things that Changed
]. Change in dollar amounts (sewer = sewer collection plus sewer treatment):
Water Sewer
CAP March 15 Draft $7,112,561 $2,824,073
CAP June 22 Draft $3,752,472 $2,093,138
CAP June 29 Draft $3,111,374 $1,880,972
CAP August 4 Draft $2.761,356 $' ,679,401
Change from June 29 to Augusl4 ($350,018) ($201,571)
CAP (Augusl4 Draft) $2.761,356 $1,679,401
ROW Fee (ft4>ril 21 Draft) $592.448 $483.011
Total (Aug 5 meeting Attachment 2, rounded) $3,353.800 $2,162.400
2. Costs related to contents in the existing lease were removed. Implication is that lease
payment is in addition to CAP payments. Reduction in water cost allocation = $] 13,434,
reduction in sewer cost allocation = $0.
3. Some costs were removed, based on oUI comments that they are not related to the provision
of water service (Passport Acceptance, Business RegistrationITL T Collections, Special
Events/Arts&Culture, Fine Arts and Cultural Affairs). Reduction in water cost allocation =
$146,883, reduction in sewer cost allocation = $139,615.
4. Fire Department costs related to fire dumpsters were moved from Water to Integrated
Waste. This is a change from the numbers, but not the narrative, from the 6/28 draft.
Reduction in water cost allocation of $89,402.
5. Small methodology changes in applying a 25% discount to sewer as well as water for City
Council support, City Manager administration, Finance general accounting, Finance
purchasing. Reduction in sewer cost allocation of approximately $50,000.
Things that Didn't Change
The remaining methodologies didn't change. The August 4 draft CAP didn't split sewer
collection and sewer treatment. Information provided on August I 0 did split sewer collection
and sewer treatment, but did not provide documentation of the specific methodology for this
split.

Remaining Differences
I. For many items, the amount allocated still exceeds the value of the services provided
2. Previously raised legal concerns related to public safety cost allocations and the California
Constitution still exist. This creates significant legal risk to the Department and the City.
[Department to verify language)
3. The allocation between sewer collection and sewer treatment is very flawed. This creates
significant legal risk to the Department and the City. [Department to verify language]

Specific Review Comments
Building Use

Concur. Removed from the CAP because it is included in the Municipal Water Department
(Department) lease.
1.004 Other
Not applicable. No costs allocated to water or sewer treatment
Equipment Use
Concur. There is no cost allocated to water or sewer treatment.
Mayor
Do not concur.
The Board of Water Commissioners (BOWC) provides policy guidance and oversight for the
Department, not the Mayor. The Mayor appoints board members and is only involved during
sewer treatment rates. Mayor occasionaHy handles citizen complaints related to the
Department.
Costs allocated to Department exceed services provided. Allocation based on budget with 25%
water discount and sewer treatment discount is not acceptable. The Mayor's office does not
provide $165,176 worth of services to the Department.
The Municipal Water Department (Department) will support allocation based on budget with a
75% water discount and 75% sewer treatment discount.
Council
Do not concur.
Council holds public hearings for sewer treatment rates (at most once a year) only. There is no
official water involvement. However, the Department has some interaction with Council
because citizens do sometimes contact their counciImember if there is an issue with water or
sewer treatment.
Costs allocated to Department exceed services provided. Allocation based on budget is not

City Clerk
Administration, SEI Filings, and Boards and Commission Support
Do not concur.
The Department maintains minutes and agendas for all BOWC activities. The City Clerk may
handle one action (sewer treatment rate hearing) per year. The Department does all of its own
document retention. The City Clerk's office provides some limited support to the Department
when questions arise regarding Form 700 compliance, AB 1234 or posting requirements. They
do assist with research regarding resolutions, and the Department estimates they assist the
Department a dozen times per year.
Costs allocated to Department exceeds services provided. Allocation based solely on budget is
not acceptable. The City Clerk's office (including elections, described below) does not provide
$198,873 in services to the Department.
The Department will support eliminating this requirement for water and allocation based on
budget with a 90% water and sewer treatment discounts.

Allocation is based on the number of legislative actions and no cost is allocated to water or

with no involvement from the City Manager's office.
Noting that there have been no legislative actions related to water or sewer is clear evidence that
many of the other allocations in the CAP are very flawed (examples include Mayor, Council,
City Clerk, City Manager).

Specific objections were transmitted on July 6, and these objections remain. Previously raised
legal concerns related to public safety cost allocations and the California Constitution still exist.
This creates significant legal risk to the Department and the City.
The Department further objects to the allocation of these costs between sewer treatment and
sewer collection. The August 4 draft CAP allocates these costs in their entirety to sewer
treatment. However, these services all are provided in the sewer collection system, and must be
allocated to sewer collection.

Infrastructure Protection. Patrol
CAP allocation is based on 65 incidents per year requiring 405 hours of patrol time. The
Department seeks documentation on what each incident was, and how the 405 hours of patrol
time are substantiated. The Department also seeks documentation proving that these costs are
not redundant with Utility Support - Police Patrol costs above.

Critical Infrastructure Training
The CAP allocation is based on a 29 person team receiving 42 hours of training each year
related to the water supply. The Department seeks documentation of training materials that
substantiate the time required, training received, and participants that received this training.
Requested Information
New request Documentation of "financial best practices in Cost Allocation Principles" from an
industry-recognized source not affiliated with the City's consultant.
Request made July 6, 20 I I. City Attorney's Office: Documentation of the specific
prosecutorial services related to water and sewer treatment services and the specific
documentation ofthis cost allocation used in the CAP.
Request made July 6, 201 1. City Manager's Office: The specific internal audit issues related to
water and sewer treatment.
Request made July 6, 201 I. General Government: The exact nature of the approximately
$80,000 in non-departmental services provided to water and sewer treatment.
Request made July 6, 201 I. General Government: specific documentation of the lease
payments attributed to water,
Request made July 6, 2011. General Government: The "debt budget" that forms the basis of
the lease payment allocation in the CAP
Request made July 6, 201!. Right of Way Tree Trimming: More documentation of the right of
way cost allocation is needed. Documentation provided is not labeled and does not show the
ultimate source of data used to generate CAP cost allocations. The utility support for tree
trimming is part of the overall Parks Department budget for tree trimming and it appears that 29
percent of the total program cost was considered utility support. Since no mention of utility
support appears in the Parks Department budget, the Department requests specific
documentation of how costs allocable to utility support were identified.
Request made July 6, 20 I I. Fire HazMat: CAP allocations are based on a total of 85 Hazmat
incidents. The Department is not aware of any of these involving its own facilities and already
maintains certified hazardous chemical personnel for its facilities. The Department seeks the
specific documentation that shows what the 85 Hazmat incidences were.
Request made July 6, 201 I. Police Infrastructure Protection - Patrol: Documentation proving
that these costs are not redundant with Utility Support - Police Patrol costs.
Request made July 6, 201 I. Police Infrastructure Protection - Critical Infrastructure Training:

CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REOUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
SUBJECT:
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the City Manager to execute a
Master Services Memorandum of Understanding with the Water Department for
provision of City services for FY 20 I 0-11.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Water Department and City enter into a contract, a Master Services
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), for the City to provide various support services
needed for the water and wastewater treatment operations. On April 19, 2011 the Water
Department approved the proposed Master Services MOU for Fiscal Year 2010-11. On
May 16,2011 the proposed agreement was presented to the Mayor and Common Council
for consideration and was continued for further discussion. The following provides
additional information on the background and financial impact of this proposed
agreement.
Unlike most other City departments, a Master Services MOU is necessary with the Water
Department for the provision of support services for two reasons: first, the City
establishes the Water Department as a financially separate entity governed by an
appointed board of directors; and secondly, State law provides that the funds overseen by
Water Department are classified as enterprise funds and are restricted to paying only for
water and wastewater treatment service related costs. The Master Services MOU
identifies the costs of the documented support services provided by the City to the Water
Department.
City Services Provided to the Water Departmentfor FY 2010-11
The following are the support services the Water Department contracted for the City to
provide for FY 2010-11 related to the Water Department's water and wastewater
treatment operations. The list identifies the fund the City has used to pay for the services
provided to the Water Department, and the total cost of such services for FY 2010-11 :
Services Fund Amount
1. Employee Assistance Program Workers Compensation $10,000
2. Rideshare Coordinator Transportation Fund 5,200
3. Workers' Comp Claims/Adm. Workers Compensation 412,000
4. Information Technology IT Fund 522,267
5. Telephone Services Telephone Fund 126,400
6. Police and Fire Departments General Fund 500,000
7. Equal Opportunity Officer General Fund 57,200
8. City Attorney General Fund 200,435
9. Civil Service
10. Human Resources, Finance
City Treasurer
General Fund
87,780
General Fund
192.200
TOTAL
$2,113,482
Additionally, on June 30, 2010, the Mayor and Common Council approved the
preparation of a cost allocation plan for all services that the City provides to support
various enterprise functions and operations such as water, sewer, and refuse. Over the
past number of years, cities throughout the state have prepared and adopted similar
modem cost allocation plans to provide an accurate accounting of the full cost for various
services and operations. These cost allocation plans further provides the documentation
necessary to comply with the provisions of Proposition 218. Under Proposition 218, for
property-related services such as water, sewer, and refuse, only costs related to the
provision of such services may be included in the rates charged for the services.
Therefore, cost allocation plans help ensure that cities remain compliant with the state
constitutional requirements of Proposition 218.
The City contracted with Matrix to perform the analysis and prepare the cost allocation
plan. It is anticipated that this plan will be presented to the Mayor and Common Council
for consideration at the June 20, 2011 meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The anticipated reimbursement amounts from the Water Department Master Services
Memorandum of Understanding were included in the FY 2010-11 adopted budget, as
follows:
Budl!et bv Fund FY 10111
General Fund (001): $1,037,615
IT Fund (679): 522,267
AB 2766 Fund (111): 5,200
Teleohone Suoport Fund (630): 126,400
Worker's Comp Fund (678): 422,000
Total $2,113,482
If these documented costs that the City has already incurred by providing services to the
Water Department are not reimbursed, the City's budget will experience an immediate
and unforeseen shortfall in anticipated revenue. As a result, an examination of options to
address the revenue shortfall would occur, including reductions in City Services and
personnel.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the resolution.

Total $2,113,482 $1,951,890
It should be noted that on April 19, 2011 the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of San
Bernardino adopted the attached Master Services Memorandum of Understanding for FY 20 I O-
II reflecting the reimbursement amounts. (attachment)
I
On February 7, 2011 the Water Department, Mayor and Common Council approved funding for
a Customer Service Representative I in the amount of $28,300 for FY20 10/11. In addition, the
Water Department and Mayor and Common Council approved the funding strategy for the SB
Direct Phone Switch in the amount of $400,000 on January 24, 20 II. These figures are not
included in the chart.
Chane:es From Prior Year:
The cost for services related to the City Attorney, Civil Service, Human Resources, Finance and
City Treasurer have increased by approximately $178,500. The majority of the increase is
related to reimbursement for payroll charges, such as broker and administrative fees related to
Mercer, the City's benefits/healthcare administrator, and staff time ($105,000). For the current
year, reimbursement for treasury, investment, and banking services provided by the City
Treasurer were added ($40,500). Other costs increases are related to the increase of Civil
Service's percentage of time spent providing services to the Water Department ($18,600) and
increases for personnel costs in Human Resources and the City Attorneys Office ($14,400).
The cost for Information Technology Services has decreased from $539,600 to $522,267. The
reductions are related to decrease in staff time and services available to be provided to the Water
Department pursuant to the City's 10% employee concessions. As such, the reduction of $17,333
will not have an impact on the General Fund or IT Fund.
Financial Impact:
Anticipated reimbursement amounts from the Water Department Master Services Memorandum
of Understanding were included in the FY 2010-11 preliminary and adopted budgets, as follows:
Budget by Fund FY to/11
General Fund (001): $1,037,615
IT Fund (679): $522,267
AB 2766 Fund (III): $5,200
Telephone Support Fund (630): $126,400
Worker's Comp Fund (678): $422,000
Total $2,113,482
