Subject: Proposal to provide Water Rights and Water Transfer Support

Dear Mr. White,

Western Hydrologics, L.L.P. (WH) is pleased to present this proposal to provide consulting services in support of the District’s ongoing water rights and water transfer efforts. As requested, this proposal includes technical support for the ongoing water rights extension, water rights reporting and water transfer opportunities. This proposal provides a scope of work, a budget limit and rate sheet, attached. All work must be approved by the General Manager prior to initiation.

Scope of Work

Task 1 – Water Right Extension Support

WH shall attend strategy session meetings with District staff, its consultants, and attend and participate in public meetings as requested by the District. WH shall also provide hydrologic modeling support to the District for its water rights and transfers. This may include execution of model runs as requested by the District, provide summary reports of results, and modify the hydrologic model as necessary to support the District’s interests.

Task 2 – Water Rights Reporting

Water rights usage will be determined by permit and reported on behalf of District as required by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). FPUD has two water right permits on Mill Creek and a third on North Shirttail Canyon Creek. WH will analyze the District usage by water right priority and measured flow records, and report to the SWRCB as required by SB 88.

Task 3 – Water Transfer Support

WH will work with FPUD staff and attorney to develop the project understanding and timing. The District has executed both a spring transfer to support temperature issues at Folsom Reservoir and a fall transfer to accommodate recreation at Sugar Pine Reservoir. A transfer forecast and operations plan will be required by USBR, DWR and SWRCB to inform them how and when the transfer will occur. The operational plan will depend on the feasibility and timing of the specific transfer opportunity.

This effort will make use of the spreadsheet tools and information developed during the 2015 and 2018 transfers. In addition, the USBR and DWR require information requested in their checklists. That information includes general information about the District, and specific information about its water rights and historic operations. Along with the requested information the District is required to file a

Item I2


Temporary Change Petition for the transfer adding the temporary change in point of rediversion and place of use. These items can be addressed under this task.

AMOUNT OF TASK ORDER COMPENSATION

Compensation will be based upon actual hours expended multiplied by our current standard billing rates. 2019 billing rates are identified in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto and incorporated in by reference. WH suggests a budget of $20,000 to support the District’s upcoming needs for the 2- year period from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020.

Western Hydrologics appreciates the opportunity to provide this proposal. Tasks will be invoiced based on the Rate Schedule for Professional Services (Attachment A). If you have any questions, please contact me at (916) 390-5829.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey K. Meyer, P.E. Principal Attachment(s)

RESOLUTION 2019-01

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE FORESTHILL PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT MODIFYING WATER RATES AS ESTABLISHED PURSUANT

TO RESOLUTION NO. 14-06

WHEREAS, Foresthill Public Utility District (the “District”) owns, maintains and operates a public water system for the provision of safe drinking water to the public;

WHEREAS, upon the preparation of a water rate study, and after notice was mailed to property owners and tenants of parcels within the District's service area, and after a public hearing, the District adopted Resolution No. 14-06 on June 25, 2014, establishing water rates in compliance with the provisions of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, sometimes referred to as Proposition 218;

WHEREAS, the water rates, as adopted through Resolution No. 14-06, contain various rate categories including one designated as "Multiple service per EDU." EDU refers to a equivalent dwelling unit, and this category is sometimes also referred to as a multiple unit rate. Pursuant to Resolution No. 14-06, the current multiple unit rate for fiscal year 2018-2019 is $90.54 per EDU;

WHEREAS, the multiple unit rate applies to parcels with multiple dwelling units served through a single service connection also known as a “master meter”;

WHEREAS, fifty-five of the District's 2,021 customers are served through a master meter service connection and subject to the multiple unit rate. There are currently eight master meter service connections that are commercial developments serving more than three dwelling units;

WHEREAS, since its adoption, certain ratepayers have questioned the validity of the multiple unit rate, and this dispute ultimately resulted in litigation brought by Miner's Camp challenging whether the District complied with its obligations under Proposition 218 in adopting Resolution No 14-06 and in charging the rates as specified by its terms. (Miner's Camp v. Foresthill Public Utility District, Placer County Superior Court Case No. SCV0039661.) The District denied, and continues to deny that it violated Proposition 218 or that the rates are improper;

Item I3


WHEREAS, in rendering its judgment, the Court noted that:

"Customers such as petitioner receive charges allocated on a unit-by-unit basis, which charges include fees for maintenance and accounting. However, the multi-unit properties that are at issue in this litigation are each serviced by a single service connection, the charges imposed by petitioner exceed the funds required to provide the specific property related service, are necessarily used for a purpose other than that for which the charge is imposed, and exceed the cost of service attributable to the parcel. In short, the rate structure utilized by the District violates Proposition 218."

The Court then directed the District to make restitution to Miner's Camp of fees and costs collected in violation of Proposition 218;

WHEREAS, the District disagreed with several aspects of the Court's judgment

including its finding that Miner's Camp did not need to raise its challenge with the District during the rate setting process which would have given the District the opportunity to consider and possibly make adjustments to its rates prior to the adoption of Resolution No. 14-06. Consequently, the District filed of a notice of appeal with the Third District Court of Appeal, and the Court's judgment is stayed during the pendency of this appeal;

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the pending appeal, the District is proceeding with

a new study pursuant to Proposition 218 to consider new rates which would be effective after the end of fiscal year 2018-2019, and District looks to engage the community in this process;

WHEREAS, without conceding its objections to the Court's judgment or admitting

any liability or defect in its present rates, the District is concerned that the debate over its current rates unnecessarily creates rancor and divisiveness within the community at a time when the District looks to engage and work constructively with all residents in developing its future rates;

WHEREAS, the Court in its judgment specifically found fault with the District's

imposition of meter maintenance and accounting costs on a unit-by-unit basis when such units were not actually served by an individual meter. The District has determined that these total meter maintenance and accounting fees associated with each individual meter to be $2.03 per multi-unit per month. The District has further determined that it could cover the loss of such fees through use of its reserves if such fees were not collected pending the adoption of new rates for all categories of water users within the District;


WHEREAS, the elimination of the meter and maintenance and accounting fees from the multiple unit rate category is in the public interest as all residents will hopefully seek to focus on the structure of future rates rather than on past disputes.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of Foresthill

Public Utilities District hereby enacts the following: Section 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are

incorporated herein. Section 2. Modification of Rates. The multiple unit rate category shall be reduced

by $2.03 per EDU per month to eliminate costs for meter maintenance and accounting from this rate category. This reduced rate shall be effective with the first billing cycle after February 2019, and shall remain effective pending adoption of a new rate structure by the District. Except as expressly provided herein, the remaining provisions of Resolution No. 14-06 shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 3. CEQA Exemption. The Board of Directors hereby finds that the rate modification set forth herein is exempt from CEQA review under Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(8) and CEQA Guidelines section 15273 because the proposed water service rates are necessary and reasonable to fund the administration, operation, maintenance, and improvements of the District’s water system, are necessary to maintain service within the District’s existing service area, and will not result in expansion of the system. The Board of Directors further finds that the action entails the creation of a government funding mechanism which is exempt from CEQA as not being a “project” pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15378. The Board of Directors authorizes the General Manager to file a notice of exemption with the County Clerk to that effect.

Section 4. General Authorization. The General Manager is hereby authorized and directed, for and in the name of and on behalf of the District, to execute and deliver any and all documents, to do any and all things and take any and all actions that may be necessary or advisable, in his discretion, in order to effect the purposes of this resolution. All actions heretofore taken by officers, employees, and agents of the District that are in conformity with the purposes and intent of this resolution are hereby approved, confirmed, and ratified.


PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors of Foresthill Public Utility District on February 13, 2019, by the following vote on roll call:

AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN:
