The Administration is also recommending the implementation of a submelering program. A submeler will be used to measure
evater that does not enter the City's sanitary sewer system, wherein the City will then provide sewer credits on the submetered
water usage. The installation of submeters will be solely for properties with cooling lowers, irrigation systems and swimming
pools. The program will be in place by October 1, 2009.
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) met on September 3, 2009 to review the proposed Ordinance
amendment, but elected to refer the item to the full Commission for its consideration.
The Ordinance amendment was approved on first reading at the City Commission Budgef Hearing of September 10, 2009.
The City Commission approved the City portion of the rate increase in the amount of $0.29, but determined that approval of
the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Depanment (WASD) portion of the proposed combined water and sewer rate increase
would be equal to the rare increase approved by the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners at their September
17, 2009 second (2"°) budget hearing. The Board deferred approval of the proposed County rate increases to their September
17, 2009 second budget hearing.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance amendment on second reading public
hearing setting water and sewer rates for FY 2009!10.
BACKGROUND
The City's utility rates fer water and sanitary sewer services are structured to collect the necessary
revenues amounts to meet annual operating and maintenance costs of the water and sanitary sewer
infrastructure. to cover debt service for water and sewer bonds; to maintain adequate operating fund
reserves, to pay Miami-Dade County forwholesale water purchased, and the treatment of the City's
sewage and other fees. Increasing the ~roater and sanitary sewer rates in the amounts levied by the
County and to oay all other costs listed above will keep the Ciiy water and sewer funds balanced.
In general, the rates for evater supply and sanitary sewer services consist of apass-through of the
wholesale rate the City pays to Ntiami-Dade County for the purchase of potable water and treatment
of sewage; the ccst of debt service for the Series 2000 UVater and Sewer Revenue Bonds and the
2006 Gulf Breeze Loan (which financed water and sewer projects); the estimated cost of the future
water and sewer bonds: operating and maintenance costs for the wafer and sewer utility including
reserves and reimbursement to the General Fund for administrative costs; and a 7.5`:~o fee of
previous year total revenue paid to the Miami-Dade County Environmental Resource Management
Department iDERM).
Commission Memo
September 24, 2009
Water and Sewer Rate Ordinance Memo
Page 2 of 5
Analysis
The proposed ~roater and sewer rates for FYC9?10 are $4.36 and $6.C4 per 1,000 gallons
respectively, for a combined water and sewer rate of S10.40 per 1, C00 gallons. Of this amount
$0.61 or 68°% is the County pass-through wholesale custcmer water and sewer rate increase and
$0.29 or 32% is the proposed City increase primarily for the issuance of future bonds to continue
citywide neighborhood ~roater and sewer improvements and to cover the increased cost of operations
and maintenance.
A discussion of the County and the City components of the proposed FY 2009110 water and sewer
rate increases is provided below.
FY2009110 Miami Dade County Wholesale Water and Sewer Rate Increases
Water
The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) had informed all water wholesale
customers of rate changes proposed for FY2009/10. The proposed water rate ~roould be $1.7142
PER 1,000 gallons, an increase of approximately 50.25 or 17"/~ above the current rate of $1.4649
per ',000 gallons. The total estimated annual cost to the City of Miami Beach of the proposed
County FY 2009!10 water rate increase is approximately $1.68 million. In addition, WASD charges
wholesale customers atrue-up amount to account for the actual WASD's costs for the previous
year. N/ASD's true-up for FY2007i08 is $1,562,708 to pay (or WASD's increased water production
(treatment) charges, maintenance and geological survey mandated by the South Florida Water
Management District, as well as security and source of supply expenses. This true-up amount
becomes an expense to the Cihj in FY 2009110 and contributes to the rate increase.
Sewer
'WASD has also notified ~roholesale customers that the proposed sewer rate will be $2.0436 per
1,000 gallcns, an increase of approximately $G.36, or 21°/" above the current race of $1.6869 per
1,000 gallons. WASD has determined that the City is entitled to a true-up credit of $1,023,675 for FY
2007?08 sewage treatment charges, which also includes a proportionate credit share that avill be
passed through to the Satellite Cities (Town of Surfside, Town of Bal Harbour, City of North Bay
Village and Town of Bay Harbor Islands} in the total amount of $133,078. The total cost of the
proposed FY 2009110 WASD sewer rate increase to Miami Beach is approximately $3.092,889.
The Manager's proposed budget includes the increase in the City water and sewer fees in order to
pass through the wholesale rate increases proposed by the County. The prcposed WASD wholesale
water and sewer rates are subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners at their Public
Budget Hearings, scheduled for September 3, 2009 and September 17, 2009. The Board of County
Commissioners deferred their consideration of the rate increases at their meeting of September 3,
2009 to their second public budget hearing of September 17, 2009.
Rate Requirements for Additional Water and Sewer Bonds
The second component of the prcposed water and sewer rates is the need for future water and
sewer bonds to finance the replacement of the City's aged water and sewer infrastructure, the
majority of which has been in place for over 50 years.
At the Special Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (,FCWPCI meeting of June 30. 2008, a
summary of future water and sewer bond Funding needs for the Neighborhoods Right-of-b'Vay
projects was presented. At this meeting, the additional ~.vater and sewer funding need of $50 million
Commission Memo
September 24, 2009
Water and Sewer Rate Ordinance Memo
Page 3 of 5
and $21 million respectively for CIP managed projects Baas presented. An additicnal $8.9 million was
identified for Public Works managed projects.
Subsequent to the meeting Public tNorks and CIP staffworked together to betterdefine the scope of
work requirements for water line replacements in future neighborhood projects and sewer
improvements. In the case of the water main replacements, part cf the objective is to identify water
main sections in good condition, whose replacement could be deferred to at least 15 years in to the
future. As part of this review, the City hired an engineering consultant to perform an updated
hydraulic modeling of the City's water system; in addition, the consultant conducted soil resistivity
tests to determine areas where the soil conditions would be a cause of pipe corrosion concern.
Based upon the consultant's study, water main sections located in areas ~rohere soil conditions were
considered corrosive were further investigated. To this end, Public Works staff took "coupons,"
cutting actual sections of pipe :o visually examine levels of possible `.uberculation, acondition that;
(a) reduces the pipe's carrying capacity; (b) also causes loss of pressure; and, (c) can impact water
quality.
Using the engineering consultant's report and the results of the pipe coupons. City staff deveieped
several tiers of potential funding level requirements based on water main construction opponunities
and more recent costs estimates forfuture neighborhocd projects. Using the information provided by
the City and its Financial Advisor, the City's rate consultant completed a series of pro forma
analyses that provide rate increase ranges for the different tiers that differentiate capital needs from
a more to less conseriative perspective.
In calculating the future rates, the City's rate consultant had to provide sufficient net revenues to
meet two debt service coverage tests. The first, termed the additional bonds test, requires that net
revenues available for debt service must be not less than 110 percent of the maximum annual debt
service of the outstanding plus prospective debt to be issued, for at least 12 months prior to the
issuance of additicnal bonds. The second condition, which must be fulfilled annually, irrespective as
to whether issuance of any prospective debt is contemplated, is termed the rate covenant. Net
revenues (defined as revenues for the period less current expenses for the period); available for
debt service in each fiscal year must be not less than 110 percent of the principal and interest
requirements for such fiscal year to meet the rate covenant. In addition to meeting the two debt
service coverage conditions, annual revenues must be sufficient to meet ctherfunding requirements
including reserves and reimbursement to the General Fund for administrative costs without resulting
in a cash deficit.
At the Commission Budget hearing on September 8, 2008, the Administration recommended a
proposed rate for FY 2008109 Tor water of $4.13 per 1,000 gallons and $6.16 per 1,000 gallons for
sewer, which resulted in a combined rate increase of $2.13 per 1,000 gallons. The impact of the
combined water and sewer rate increases would be $23.43 per month for a typical user of 11,000
gallcns per month. However, at the direction of the Commission, the Administration +roas directed to
take a further look at the phasing of the projects, with the goal of reducing the impact of the initial
rate increases. As part of this review, the 10°i~ operating expense contineency was reduced to 5','0,
earnings in excess of $1 million were carried forward as revenues in the subsequentyear, the sewer
WASD true-up credit of 51.66 million was used to reduce operating expenses for FY 2008109, and
the issuance of the first series of bonds was moved from October 2009 to mid 2010 and the second
series of bonds to 2012. As a result of these modifications, the proposed FY 2008r09 water rate',vas
reduced to 53.88per 1,000 gallons and the sewer rate lowered to $5.62 per 1,000 gallons, lowering
the revised combined water and sewer rates to 59.50. These rates ~roere approved by the City
Corrrltisslon at the September 17, 2008 Budget Hearing.
Commission Memo
September 24, 2009
Water and Sewer Rate Ordinance Memo
Page 4 of 5
To create a phased rate increase, the Administration reviewed ways to spread out the bond
issuance for the remaining water and sewer funded projects. The recommended approach ~roas to
secure an interim financing method for some of the utilibj projects using a tine of credit. On May 13,
2009. the City Commission approved a $60 million line of credit for this purpose. The City plans to
use this line to award scheduled projects during FY 2009110 while spending existing bond proceeds
on both existing projects as well as those secured by the line of credit. This strategy should allow
the City the time to both build the necessary capacity to issue bonds through rate increases and also
spend down the current fully committed but unspent bond proceeds. Additionally, increased utility
rates need to be in place in early fiscal year 2010 to pay increased operaticn and maintenance costs
as well as provide sufficient debt service coverage to allow the first issuance of bonds as the City
has committed that it will issue long term debt to refund the lines of credit prior to maturity.
Following a thorough review of the expected timing of funding needs for remaining waterand sewer
projects, it was decided to issue bonds in two series. The first series of bonds to cover projects in
the amount of $27.2 million plus any costs required to refund any draws against the line of credit is
planned for FY 2009110. If the existing fully committed bond proceeds have not been expended by
the time additional capital is required or beyond the capacity or term of the current line of credit, the
issuance may have to be done on a taxable, rather :han tax exempt basis. The second series of
bonds: for water projects only, in the estimated amount of $28 million. is currently planned for FY
2011,`12. The estimated amount of the second series of bonds may be able to be reduced, if There
are savings on projects aevarded or currently under construction. These bond issues are forecast
based on current understanding of the capital needs and timing of projects: both of which are
subject to change.
The proposed, combined water and sewer rate increase for FY 2009110 is $0.90 per 1,000 gallons.
Of this amount, $0.61 or 68°io is the County increase and S0.29 or 32% is the Ciiy increase for the
future issuance of water and sewer bonds. It should be noted that the increase forthe Cih~ portion of
the combined water and sewer rate for FY 2009110 ~roas previously projected at $0.82 and has been
reduced to $0.29 as a result of further refinements in the rate calculation along with higher than
expected revenue collections. For the average 11,000 gallons per month customer, the combined
water and sewer rates result in a monthly increase of $9.90 in FY2009/10. For the minimum usage
customer (5,000 gallons or less per month), the combined monthly impact would be a total of $4.50.

The Administration will continue to work on the financing needs and continue to seek financing
opportunities that will benefit the City and that would allow rates to be maintained al the minimum
amount possible to accomplish the required goals.
Submetering
The Administration is also recommending converting the existing pilot submetering proaram for
irrigation to a permanent and expanded program. A submeter will be used to measure water that is
not entering the City's sanitary sewer system, wherein the city will then provide sewer credits on the
submetered water usage. The installation of submeters will be solely for properties witn cooling
towers. irrigation systems and swimming pools. The permanent program will be in place by October
1, 2009.
Finance and Citywide Projects Committee Meeting -September 3.2009
The FCW PC met on September 3, 2009 to review the proposed Utrlitres Ordinance amendmentfor
water and sewer, but elected to refer the item to the full City Commission for its consideration.
First Reading -September 10, 2009
The proposed Utilities Ordinance amendment was approved on first reading at the City Commission
Budget Hearing of September 10, 2009. The City Commission approved the City portion of the rate
increase in the amount of $0.29, but determined that approval of the WASD portion of the proposed
combined water and sewer rate increase would be equal to the rate increase approved by the
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners at their September 17, 2009 second (2"`j
budget hearing. The City Commission also requested additional information regarding the burn rates
of the Water, Sewer, and Stormwater projects.
CONCLUSION:
The Adrninistralion recommends approving the Ordinance amendment on second public hearing
setting water and sewer rates for FY 2009?10.
