Crosby \/ Chad Griffin \u2013 Stillwater Engineering<\/p>\n<p>Pam Crosby gave a brief overview to the Committee regarding GEFA and financing available through GEFA for various programs and infrastructure projects such as water, sewer, solid waste management, energy efficiency, and land conservation purchases and easements in Georgia.\u00a0 Pam presented to the Committee a package of information prepared for their review and better understanding of some facts about GEFA and its loan and grant programs. She explained the package and the information it contained such as types of loans offered, loan interest rates, frequently asked questions and answers, etc. Pam further explained that Water First Designated communities receive a one percent lower rate on the interest for GEFA loans, and that the JWSC is not Water First Designated due to the Consent Order currently in place. \u00a0GEFA does match funds up to75% or $25,000 on Feasibility studies. It was also mentioned that the JWSC is currently doing a Biogas Feasibility Study for one of the waste treatment plants, and that GEFA will match part of the funding for that study. JWSC has also participated in the GEFA Water Loss Technical Assistance Program and has just sent in the application for the next round of that program. JWSC has also worked on a couple of other grant programs, such as the Okefenokee Rural Electric Program which is a U.S.D.A. Program and a Resiliency Grant to help JWSC with its storm assessments through Coastal D.N.R.\u00a0 It was noted that this is not free money, and that there are costs associated such as application fees and preparation fees, interest on the loans, as well as a large amount of paperwork required for applying and processing, as well as reporting. Pam then introduced Chad Griffin with Stillwater Engineering which is working on two water projects through GEFA with JWSC at this time in the application process. Stillwater Engineering is a Civil Engineering firm and grant administration is one area they work in to help their clients fit the right programs with the right projects.\u00a0 He mentioned that through U.S.D.A. their firm assisted clients in 2016 with $3.5 Million in grants, as well as through the Department of Community Affairs Program they assisted clients with over $3 Million. Through the One Georgia Program Stillwater Engineering helped clients receive $500 Thousand, and through GEFA they helped receive $1.2 Million, of which the JWSC received $174 Thousand of grant funds as part of the application process.\u00a0 There were two projects applied for. One was for raising an elevated tank and the other was for water main repairs. While the elevated tank project did not receive principal forgiveness, the water main repair project did, and since it was a water conservation project it received options for a low interest rate. Chad has spoken with GEFA regarding the elevated tank project and which of our projects was a higher priority.\u00a0 He indicated that GEFA is willing to allow JWSC to put in the elevated tank project along with the water main repairs project and give both projects together in one loan a blended interest rate along with the principal forgiveness on the water main repair project. He expressed to the Committee that the interest rates are constantly changing.\u00a0 Chad also noted that Stillwater had done the upfront work at no extra cost to the JWSC, and that their administration costs are a part of their engineering fees. He then mentioned that if the JWSC does want to move forth on part two of the application, which gets into more of the financial part of the JWSC and its ability to repay the loan, it is important to do so as quickly as possible in order to lock in the interest rate.\u00a0 He expressed concern to get the loan application in process and have it in front of the GEFA board by August. Chad presented a video to the Committee of an elevated tank project that Stillwater Engineering did in Leesburg, Georgia.\u00a0 Chairman Elliott then asked Billy Simmons to explain to the Committee the reason why JWSC is interested in elevating a tank.\u00a0 Billy gave an explanation that on St. Simons Island, the JWSC has a tank that is sitting too low.\u00a0 It is joined with another tank on the island, but is 18.5 feet lower than the older tank.\u00a0 At this time, there is no water running into it. If the repairs were made and the tank raised, the water system on that part of the island would improve and the water pressure would be greater as well.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Rate Structures <\/strong>\u2013 J. Donaghy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>John Donaghy presented the Rate Structure to the Committee.\u00a0 He began by advising the Committee that the JWSC is in the process of working on budgeting and rate structuring.\u00a0 Staff is currently looking at how costs are recovered. Through the past year in a process assisted by Stantec Consultants, it has been discovered that there are a large number of customers who have no consumption or very little consumption at times during the year, and the average household usage is about 4,000 gallons.\u00a0 The current rate structure as set forth in the original Operating Agreement states rate calculation as being pooled from the following 4 areas:\u00a0 administrative costs, debt services, operations and maintenance, and reserve funding based on long-term capital planning requirements, with the last two being funded from the variable charge based on consumption of water &amp; sewer.\u00a0 A sample of a current water bill was provided to show how the fixed and variable charges billed. The current rate structure does not adequately reflect JWSC cost structure.\u00a0 The operations and maintenance budget indicates fixed costs to JWSC of $15.8M and variable costs of about $2.7M, with the O &amp; M portion of the customer\u2019s bill based on water consumption.\u00a0 The current rate structure was provided.\u00a0 In the review of methodologies, it was found that the number of customers that do not receive a bill for consumption each month is approximately 1,750.\u00a0 If they are not billed for any consumption, then they are not contributing sufficiently to the operations and maintenance of the water system (fixed costs). It was noted that even though customers may not have consumption during months of the year, they should still help pay for the required continuous operations and maintenance of the system that does provide their services. Currently there is more of the burden on the full time residents to cover these fixed costs of O &amp; M, while the rate payers who are part time in the area are not carrying or sharing that burden. One methodology would be to structure a base rate that all customers pay to more adequately cover fixed costs, and that base rate may include a number of usage gallons at no additional charge. There is a benchmark for consideration that the total water bill would not exceed the median water usage of 4,000 gallons.\u00a0 Based on the current 2017 water and sewer rates, this would equate to a water bill of about $50.00 per month. Based on the current analysis, about 15% of JWSC\u2019s residential customers have zero consumption in any given month. Given these calculations, applying a base rate to the full customer population may generate as much as $1.5M in additional revenue to cover O &amp; M costs and add to reserves.\u00a0 Additional rate structure changes staff is considering is removal form the rate structure for services provided to special classes of customers, and removing about $1M from the administrative portion of the rates for planning and construction services. These services would be paid for through fees paid by developers and builders for plan reviews and construction inspections.\u00a0 John also noted that this action would ensure existing customers are not subsidizing development.\u00a0 Staff will continue working with Stantec to develop options and additional methodologies for the Commission to consider for rate structuring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a03.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Davenport Financial Advisors<\/strong> \u2013 Courtney Rogers<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Rogers from Davenport Financial Advisors Presented to the Committee \u201cBorrowing at the Lowest Cost Possible.\u201d\u00a0 It is one role of Davenport to help put the JWSC in the position of borrowing at lowest costs and looking at all of the types of financings available. For any financing that JWSC has to go to public market for, the Bond Rating of the JWSC is important to be in as good of a status as possible in order to be able to borrow at lower costs.\u00a0 Davenport will be working with JWSC staff and Stantec over the next weeks on the ratings and methodologies. Courtney also spoke about JWSC\u2019s rate structure and methodologies of rate structure.\u00a0 There is a fixed amount of operations in place to keep the system working, referred to as \u201cReadiness to Serve.\u201d He also spoke of volumetrics and fixed expenditures which help to project revenues and budgeting, along with the national trend of water conservation.\u00a0 The newer washing machines and low-flow commodes for example are water conserving units providing less usage over time and water usage efficiency for our customers.\u00a0 The fixed costs of the collection system is an issue with lower consumption and less revenues coming in. \u00a0According to Moody\u2019s it is common for water utilities to split the rates into a base charge (flat rate charge) plus a volumetric charge. Utilities basing rates more on volumetrics face a greater risk.\u00a0 It is more favorable to be able to project revenues.\u00a0 Courtney Rogers and Davenport Financial Advisors will be working more with the JWSC.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Banking Services \/ Additional Services Presentation \/ BB&amp;T<\/strong> \u2013 Lance Turpin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>John Donaghy introduced Lance Turpin from BB&amp;T Banking Services to the Committee and explained that the JWSC has been using the banking services of BB&amp;T for the past 3 years.\u00a0 He added that there may be some additional services that the JWSC may be interested in obtaining from BB&amp;T.\u00a0 Lance Turpin, Market President, from BB&amp;T presented the various banking services offered to the JWSC by BB&amp;T.\u00a0 First he gave the introduction to BB&amp;T and the \u201cRelationship Team\u201d and gave an overview of the relationship between JWSC and BB&amp;T Banking Services. He referred to BB&amp;T as a consultative lender and payment specialist for the JWSC in the discussion regarding the products and services utilized by JWSC.\u00a0 They provide risk management, employee benefits, and in recent months implemented \u201cPositive Pay\u201d due to some fraud issues incurred by the JWSC.\u00a0 Lance provided a \u201cCash Manager Online\u201d video to the Committee to show how his managers and staff help their clients and some services they provide, and the real time services offered by the \u201cCash Manager Online.\u201d \u00a0This system offers control, more efficiency, security, and information on demand, as well as more control of assets with the online components of Account Transfer, ACH, Wire Transfers, Positive Pay, Reverse Positive Pay, and Stop Payments. \u00a0He also introduced a few proposed services and benefits such as Lockbox, AR Box, and Remote Deposit Capture.\u00a0 Currently the JWSC is using a third party lockbox service which is an additional delay in getting cash into the bank.\u00a0 Lance then shared a video on the lockbox services offered by BB&amp;T. \u00a0This can be considered to be an extension of the Accounts Receivable Department, by maximizing efficiency and reducing the actual handling of checks in addition to faster processing and access to funds. He estimated that there could be a possible $19-22K annual savings if JWSC converted from the current third party lockbox services to their services of lockbox.\u00a0 An example of how to incur those savings would be the ability to scan checks at our offices and have a third party to only handle the transfer of actual cash to the bank from JWSC.\u00a0 There were three main proposed cash management solutions and changes: (1) Moving third party lockbox to BB&amp;T, (2) Utilizing electronic deposits, and (3) Electronic scanning of checks.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Draft Budget Fiscal Year 2017-2018<\/strong> \u2013 J. Donaghy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>John Donaghy presented to the Committee that staff has been working on budgeting for the upcoming fiscal year of 2017-2018. Meetings have been held with the various superintendents to discuss their departmental budgets and making amendments to their budget drafts.\u00a0 A preliminary draft budget of expenditures has been prepared and will be forwarded to Stantec for modeling.\u00a0 The next step will be to prepare the draft budgeting of revenues other than the usual revenues from customer fees and interest earnings. \u00a0This information will then be plugged into the rate model with the statistical and demographical information of the customer base. They will then be able to come up with a proposed rate for the next year. At this time it is indicated that there is a significant increase in this year\u2019s budget over the adopted budget of last year of $4.4M. This budget draft is still being worked on. John did note that last year\u2019s budget included no capital purchases and there are some capital needs for this year of which are contributing to the increase in the budget.\u00a0 Last year $1.5M of the operating reserve was allocated to purchase vehicles and new equipment to ease the burden on rates. This is a one-time event, but there is a need to budget for some capital items for this year. The proposed budget does include staff additions of about 10 new positions. A first complete draft budget is expected to be ready by early April. In order to meet deadlines, it will be necessary to have a special called workshop for the Commission to work on the budget.\u00a0 The final budget for the upcoming fiscal year will be adopted at the last Commission in the month of June 2017.\u00a0 Public hearings will be held on the rates and the draft budget must be sent to the City and the County for review and comment prior to the adoption of the final budget.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Five Year Capital Improvement Plan<\/strong> \u2013 J. Junkin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Mr. Junkin advised that the Five Year Capital\/Master Plan has been reviewed.\u00a0 Staff has considered some possible changes due to variables that have occurred during the last several months, as well as needs for development. In the attempt to expedite projects, there has been a necessity to start small portions of those projects quickly. Staff is working though details of the Plan to make it more definitive of the immediate needs of Rehab and Repair, as well as expansion needs for the next five years. Staff will also be working with the rate consultants to determine and refine the calculated tap fee that the JWSC should be charging as opposed to the flat fee that is currently being charged at this time. Mr. Junkin indicated that it is foreseen that there will be a greater need than what the rate structure will provide. He expressed concern of the JWSC being able to do the necessary projects in a revenue constrained situation. In their inspections and assessments of the system, staff has found that there are very costly needs that were not included in the original Master Plan. Particularly in the sewer system, they have discovered more critical needs than previously expected. These pressures are requiring clarification and review of the Plan to meet the challenges ahead for the JWSC.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> February End of Month Financial Comparative<\/strong> \u2013 J. Donaghy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>John Donaghy presented the financial end of month report for February 2017 to the Committee. He noted that the Balance Sheet has been relatively constant from month to month during this year. The Bond Sinking Fund has increased from $300K to $1.9 M due to the accumulation of the funds from the bond trustee for the next principal and interest payment that will be due June 1<sup>st<\/sup> of 2017, with the annual bond payments being about $3.8M in total.\u00a0 While the Accounts Receivable have increased some, the Restricted Cash Accounts have dropped by just over $4M, with the offset to that being the Construction in Progress where Reserve funds have been used to complete projects. John continued on to review the Revenue and Expenditure Statement. This year revenues are just short of $19M with the Pro Rata Budget being $18.8M, indicating being ahead by about $140K. With Net Revenues over Cash Requirements at $2.4M and Encumbrances of $1.6M, the final balance of Net Revenues over Expenditures at February 2017 end of month was just over $800K.\u00a0 The Project Report was not reviewed at this time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIRECTOR\u2019S UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was no additional update at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Meeting was adjourned at 4:42 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For your consideration, please review the minutes from the Finance Committee Meeting on March 15, 2017: Finance Committee Minutes March 15, 2017 with Attachments To read the minutes, please open or download the pdf from the link above or you may see more below:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-finance-committee-minutes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6385\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
