PROBLEMS AND ISSUES
1) The 2007 budgets for all Irrigation Accounts excluded street strips and right of ways in the
"irrigable square footage" calculation. This means that properties with these watering needs
were substantially under-budgeted. The Utility Department will not proactively remedy this
problem.
2) Irrigation Account "Adjustrnent Requests" aze taking months to process. The only way for
flie City to change the water budget for an IRRIG account, is for City staff to go into the GIS
mapping program, which feeds the billing system, and make manual mapping changes.
3) The Utility Deparhnent's mid-month billing system results in penalty billing even if an
account stays within its monthly allocation.
4) City's budgeting policies fail to address budgeting for new properties or for new/changing
uses at e~usting properties.
5) City's budgeting policies refuse to accommodate seasonal vaziations in water usage by
Bou(der businesses.
6) City's budgeting policies refuse to accommodate summer watering needs of Commercial
Accounts that do not have sepazate irrigation taps. The City Manager has stated that he
needs to see usage data in order to assess whether changes should be made.
7) City's Rules and Regulations empower the City Manager to make adjustments and changes
to water budgets.
While Utility Department has claimed that they can not or wiil not make this change(s) to
water budgets that accommodate historic and consistent seasonal or suimner water use
variations without council approval, this has not stopped the utility department from
implementing and using other factors/considerations not defined or described in the Rules
and Regulations - in particulaz 2006 versus 2007 gross water cost compazisons.
8) Utility Department has attributed its implementation of the current straight line AMU
methodology to the Water Resowces Advisory Board and to the request and feedback of the
Boulder Chamber of Commerce - this attribution and credit came as a complete surprise to
the Chamber of Commerce.
9) The Utility Department in its public presentations has referenced the high number and
percentage of adjustment requests that they have approved. What the CiTy does not disclose
PO Box 70, Berthoud, CO 80513 (970) 213-5405 Vage 1 of 2

Attorney at Law
is whether or not - within the contexi of an adjustment request - they have granted the
adjustment that was requested.
10) The Utility Department is not granting budget adjustments retroactively to January 151. In
cases where the City's initial budget is adjusted, and that outcome is challenged, the
challenge to the adjustment is treated as a"second appeal" and resulting changes aze not
made retroactive to the date of the initial adjustment request.
11) City's current softwaze system is not currendy capable of accommodating anything other
than a 12 month straight-line amount budget model for COMM/IRR accounts.
12) In September (at a Chamber of Commerce Meeting), the Utility Department proposed several
billing methodology changes. The Utility Department expressed opposition to Water
Budgeting (a/k/a banking), a solution which would solve a vast majoriTy of the problems
experienced by COMM/IRR accounts. In response to questions addressing whether or not
the City's existing software system could be changed to accommodate the changes the City
was discussing, the City's response was "anything's possible."
13)Tebo Development Company processes and pays utility bills for over 40 water accounts.
Earlier this yeaz, the Utility Departznent made an administrative change error, which resulted
in all bills being sent to the service locations. Another administrative error was made
sending water bills to Stephen Tebo's home address.
14) Eazlier this yeaz, the Utiliry Department made a$1M billing error.
I S) Delays in addressing the problems that COMM/IRR accounts aze having means that changes
aze unlikely to be implemented until 2009. The review and study session with City Council
has been delayed and rescheduled from September to October to later in Octobet. Now, it
will not occur until 2008. Further delay in the implementation of system fixes can be
anticipated since the Utility DepartmenYs billing system software will require programming
and code modification.

SpeciTic "Budeetin2" Problems
1) IRRIGATION BUDGETS - SQUARE FOOTAGE ISSUES.
The total water allocated/budgeted to IRR Accounts, annually and monthly, is based on "irrigable
square footage" calculations that without exception exclude right of ways and street strips. We
have also encountered multiple "sofr areas" within the aerial boundaries that were omitted in the
City's square footage calculations.
The excluded azeas (right of ways and street strip areas) for Tebo propeRies generally constitute 25
- 35% of what should be the "irrigable square footage," and therefore this problem is causing
significant under-budgeting or over-bitling.~ The following is a summary as applied to several Tebo
properties:

We have hand-measured all "irrigable areas," and we are hopeful that the City will accept ow
adjustment requests. It seems unreasonable to put this burden on property owners to get the
excluded areas included in water budgets. It seems more reasonable that the City should be
correcting this problem and making the related budgeting changes retroactive to the Jan l s`.
2) IRRIGATION BUDGETS - LACK OF ROLLOVER (OR WATER BANKING).
Once the square footage issues are corrected, and our accoimts get corrected annual budgets -
assuming regulaz~ weather pattems - Tebo Development can maintain healthy watering and stay
within its annaal budget(s).
~ There is little consistency [o the omitted areas. This problem appeazs infrequendy and intermittently and is an
excusable erzor.

Chang_e in Use and Seasonai Usa~e Problem
(this account has a sepazate irrigation tap - there is no outdoor watering)
This is the Ball Aerospace building. There is a doggie daycare facility on this property,
which represents:
Change in nature of tenancy/occupancy
Water usage pattern that is seasonal
Probiems:
1) City's methodology does not provide for seasonal vaziations.
2) City has no method for establishing a modified budget for tenancy/use changes
(departmental response... let's wait several months and see what the usage has
been)

In November 2006, the City of Boulder sent this account a letter stating that: "(t)he water
budget approach is a unique method of computing monthly water bills that gives each
water customer a monthly water budget that is tailored to reflect a customer's water
needs." However, there is no accommodation in the AMU calculation for known
and historic usa~e natterns.
1) ln 7 out of 12 months, the Propcrty has been allocated/budgeted far more water than it
needs or has historically used. For this particular property, the historic water usage -
for the months of January - May, Novcmber, and December - has been 127 {1,000
gallons). However, for this period, the City has allocated 213 (1,000 gallons). 40`%,
or 86 (1,000 gallons}, of the water budget for those months is unusable.
2) In 4 out of l 2 months, the Property has been allocated/budgeted substantially less
water than it needs and has historically used. This budgeting system will drive the
charges for these months into the upper (penalty) tiers - blocks 3, 4, and 5.

Erin
Thanks for sending this.
What are all the cons~derations that the City uses in addressing adjustments?
I've reviewed the information on the Utility Department's website, the adjustment form, and the Rule
and Regulations regarding Water Budgeting. I am not finding reference in those documents that
address present and past bill comparisons.
My concem is that the budgets for accounts should be tailored to the properties needs. This is what
was communicated in the November 2006 letter that was sent out to accounu. This is also what is
now stated on the Department's website: "The water budget approach is a unique method of computing
monthly water bills by grving each water customer monthly water budgets that are tailored to reflect
each customer's indoor and outdoor water needs."
During our meetings, you have mentioned that although we have concerns with the tailoring of the
budgets that we should not be that concerned because our bills this year are not higher (or
significantly higher) than they were last year. On the one hand, that is a good point. One the other
hand, it really ignores the issue of whether the budget is tailored to the properties needs, and that
analysis only works under the current rate structure... what happens in 2008 or 2009 when the
rate structures for Blocks 1 and 2 change?
I do again wish to go back to the issue of commercial accounts without irrigation taps. The
straightrline AMU methodology is inconsistent with the disclosure/purpose statement on your
website ("The water budget approach is a unique method of computing monthly water bills by giving
each water customer monthly water budgets that are tailored to reflect each customer's indoor and
outdoor water needs"). These accounts get overbudgeted in the late winter/early spring and in the
late fall/early winter, and they get underbudgeted in the late spring - early fall. This means that
they are under-charged and then over-charged. If that budgeting model works, why isn't it being
used for residential and multi-family? How is a model that consistently over-budgets and
under-budgets going to facilitate and encourage conservation?

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Ruz2in and City Council
From: Frank Bruno, City Manager
Stephanie Grainger, Deputy City Manager
Ned Williams, Director of Public Works for Utiliues
Carol Linn, Utilities Finuncial Manager
Date: June i, 2007
Subject: Information Item: Water Use and Revenue for January - April 2007
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The city's new utility billing system became operational in 2006, and the new water budget rate
strucmre was implemented in January 2007. In March 2007, an erroneous bill was issued that
dramatically ovcr-stated year-to-date revenue, Uut the bill (and related revenue and use) has been
corrected. With this con~ection, billed revenue is up 6% over the same time pe~iod last year.
This memo provides updated year-to-date informaqon about water use and revenue (billed, not
collected) for the period ]anuary-April 20U7 and compares the data to ihe same time period in
2006. '
BACKGROUND:
The water budget rate structm~e was approved Uy City Council in December 2004. During 2005
and 2006, a new Customer Tnformation System (CIS), formally called a uti-ity billing system,
was purchascd and ~nstalled, and customer-specific data for the water budget rate structure was
developed and loaded into the CIS. In November 2006, each cus[omer was sent a letter that
provided infonnation about their estimated 2007 water budgets that included:
• Fstimated monthly water budgets for 2007
• Prior 12 months of actual water use for the same address/account
• Data used to calculate water budgets for their account (i.e., in~igable area size, number
of living units, average monthly use).
In ~ddition, customers were provided info~mation about the methodology used to calculate water
budgets and asked to review their property-specific data. A Water Budget Adjustment process
was implemented to allow customeis to challengc and correct information used to establish their
property-specific budget.
The 2007 recommended budget, as submitted by the C1ty Munager in August 2006, included a
four percent increase in water revenues. At the Nov. 14, 2006 meeting, City Council approved
the increase as well as the 2007 rates for each of the five billing blocks ~s part of the adopted
2007 Budpet. A r~te ~ur~lvsis w•~s nrovi~ to tl~~~~ic an { iry Council th~showed several
for
to $4?0. Crty Council
appiroved a Block 2 ratc of $2.50.
Page 1
The rate analysis also showed that the $2.50 Block 2 rate (base rate) cou3d provide
approximately $3 million of excess annual revenue, depending upon actual water use and
adjustments to water budgets. The point was made that if the city collects more revenue than
budgeted, the additional funds wil( remain in the Water Utility and used in accordance w'rth City
Council direction. For example, some allernatives that Council previously disccissed when
considering the block rates included:
• use the additional revenue as a"contingency fund" in years vahere actual revenues fal]
below budget projections,
• reduce or deley fut~re rate increases that may be needed to cover increases in the
operations and maintenance costs for the N~ater facilities,
• provide help and assistance for customers who are consistenUy in blocks 4 and 5, or
• develop new water resources and supplies
In addition, the rate analysis showed that the projecteci impacts to customers' annual water bil!
for 2007, compared to 2006, would likely be:
• Annual bill will inerease for 17 percent of the customers.
• Annual bill will remain about the same for 34 percent of the customers.
• Annual bill ~vill decrease for 49 percent of the customers.
Since these waler bill impacts are annual projections, it is too soon to tell if they are tracl:ing
with actual experience.
DATA SUMMARl':
The new water budget rate structure has been effective since January 2007, and the water billed
revenue (not nctual cash collected) and use summary is as follows:
•. W ater use for January-April:
0 2007. 1,138,470.thousand gallons (2% less than 2006)
0 2006 1,158,203 thousand gallons
• W~ter billed revenue for January-April:
0 2007 $4,073,236 (6%a greater than 2006)
0 2006 $3,843,521
The following table shows the amount of water use and bil-cd revenue by customer class for
7anu~ry - April of 2006 and 2007:

More detailed information (by customer dass and billing block) about water revenue and use for
January-April 2007 may be found in Attachment A.
While the 2007 billed revenue (Jxnuary-Aprii) is $4,073,236, the net cash collection received
over this same timeframe is $4,214,644. Net cash collections reflect actual payments (including
late fees and other miscellaneous water fees) that have been deposited into the city's account.
When looking at an identical dmeframe, the billed revenue amount will never be the same as the
net cash collected amount because of ~ variety of reasons, including:
• The time lapse between when a bill is sent and paid.
• Cusromers may only make a pautial payment end have a balance that is ca~ried-over into
the following months.
• Bill adjustments or con•ections.
It is standard accowiting practice to report the billed revenue amount.
The approximately $3 million in excess revenue that may be generaced by the $2.50 iate is an
inerease in the 2007 projectcd revenue oT about 16%. The 6% increase in revenues experienced
in 2007 to date over the 2006 ]evel is within the anticipated range that was projected at the time
the new block rates were approved. It is too early to tell if excess revcnue for the entire year will
be collected or if the rate structure has had an impact on water conservation. The 6% inerease in
revenue amount will change and vary each month, depending upon weather conditions (which
will influence outdooi• watering patterns) and individual customers' usage charactc~istics.
RI:PORTS:
In April 2005, a Requcst for Information (RFI) and Requirements was p~ovided to all potential
CIS vendors. Each vendor was evaluated on its system's capability to, among other criteria,
proviiie online query and generate standard reports and on its ability to use a repoit-writer to
develop customized reports. Advanced Utility Systems demonst~~ated its capability in meeting
the requirements of the RFI and v.~as selected as the vendor for the ne~u CIS in July 2005.
In May 2006, the new system was implemented using the former water rate structure (3-blocks)
and monthly bills using the new CIS were issued. The former utility billing system was then
"retired."
that the standard reports
were to
was
all
also
a former city employee irom lhe Information Technology Department to develop some
basic repoits. By Qctober 2006,_it Uecante evident that the basic and customized reports were
more comnlex ~~~d d;fficult th~n 1nt~cinated. In m•der to ensure thac thc ncw wa c~gei rate
structure was functional and operational on January 1, 2007, it was decided to delay effoi~ts on
the rcoorts so the focus could be pl~ced on get[in~ the system~ and runnina. In January 2007,
utility bills began to be c~lculated with the new rate structm•e. The effort to develop the reports
Page 3
was re-initiated in 7anuary 2007 after ensuiing that water budgets and water bills were
calculating correcUy.
In May 2007, city siaff and Advanced completed the work necessary for reports which were used
to produce the data (billed revenue and use by account types and blocks) found in Attachment
A. CIS is a good billing system that has the capabiliry of being modified in the future to provide
for changing business needs. Over time, staff will develop additional customized reports to help
evaluate issues and trend more specific data in an effort to provide information about the impacts
of future changes to thc rate structure. For example, addilional customized reports will include:
. Water budgets for specific customer class to compare with use
• pata on accounts that stay within (and exceed) budgets
• Water budgets and use by city organ~zation (departments)
Staff now is able to produce acew~ate seports from the CIS and can provide information about
water use and revenue. In the future, inforniation on billed revenues will not be reported until
such time as water use and revenue has been verified. This is similar to how the city provides
information on its sales and use t~x revenues, which is provided approximately 40 days after
remit[ance to the city and the collections are verified and any needed con~ections have Ueen made
to reduce any possible data eirors. This approach will help reduce any potential future reporting
en~ors.
NEXT STEPS:
As indicated in the March 8, 2007 Weekly Information Packet Memorandum
htt •//www.bouldercolorado._ov/files/Citv`~~~OCouncil/WIPS/2007/03-OS-07/2B.pdn, staff will
continue to monitor and evaluate the new water budgcl system. If the city coilects more revenue
than budgeted, the additionai funds will remain in the Water Utility and be used in accordance
with City Council direction.
Staff plans to return to City Council in late fall/winter, after the completion of the outdoor
irrigation season, with data on water use and revenue and to review with Council any proposed
changes.
