GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION Infrastructure Element Goal 1.0: Ensure water, sewer, and storm drain systems that meet the needs of residents and businesses. Policy 1.1: Provide sufficient levels of water, sewer, and storm drain service throughout the community. 7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND On August 11, 2015 the City of Orange entered into a contract with Raftelis Financial Consultants, in the amount of $38,638 for the preparation of the Sanitation Rate Study. The original scope of work to be completed included a financial analysis of the City's sanitation fund to verify and balance revenues and expenditures. Also included in the analysis is the need to develop a reasonable rate for the Capital Improvement Program. The initial model (financial analysis) was performed based on the existing structure that combined all sanitation services into one fund. After review of the proposed rates, staff requested additional updates to the model so that each service is modeled separately with its own fund. This will not only provide more transparency for each sanitation service, but will align revenue with expenditure for each service. Staff also requested additional analysis based on "bins" or lot size to assess rates proportionately. The additional services will increase their contract to a not to exceed total of $52,618. 8.
