Executive Summary – Preliminary
Grand Island, Nebraska
2020 Water Financial Plan Analysis Update Study
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Grand Island’s Utilities Department and City Council (Grand Island), concerned about continued
load growth, planned system facilities improvements, and necessary increases in labor and general operating
expenses, requested that The Nebraska Municipal Power Pool (NMPP) conduct a Financial Plan Analysis of the
water utility. This report summarizes the findings and recommendations resulting from the five-year Financial
Planning Model.
This study update includes revised assumptions for consumption by customers, operating costs, capital
construction, treatment, and maintenance costs. This financial projection indicates that the utility has
sufficient cash reserves. Thus, we propose no revenue increase at this time to maintain net income and cash
reserves at system financial targets. Chart 1 below shows the $8,163,145 total revenue requirements used in
the Cost of Service Study (COS) broken down by specific budget classes. These also include depreciation and a
return on facility investments. Treatment and Pumping costs sum to $4,553,051 or 56% of the total. Peak Day
costs are $1,505,953 or 18%, while Billing and Collection costs and Service Meters comprise the remainder at
13% each, respectively.
Individual escalators for labor, supplies, capital construction, long-term borrowing and earnings on reserves
are used to determine the revenue requirements for the test year and for each year to FYE 2020.

A critical aspect of a COS analysis is determination of the utility revenue requirements. Table A below, shows
FYE 2017-19 actual and FYE 2020-25 projected statement of income and expenses. For FYE September 2019,
existing rates are estimated to derive $5,661,145 in revenue (line 2) resulting in $499,916 in net operating
income (line 15) which takes cash balance to $7,028,009 (line 40). The projections are based on the City’s
budget projections and adjustments that have or will affect each year.

PROJECTED CASH FLOW
The $8,163,145 revenue requirement (line 21) is the 2020 full COS rate recovery and includes a 4% return on
distribution plant investments less accumulated depreciation expenses (line 11). A typical recommendation is a
net income target (line 16) between 4.0% and 9.0% return on investments (ROI) in depreciated utility plant.
The current rates are estimated to produce 0.8% ROI for 2019 (line 17) and with no rate increase the ROI drops
to negative 1.0% in 2025.
Table A, shows 2020 capital improvements and Construction-Work-In-Progress (CWIP) on line (36) and was
$1,782,589 for 2019 and projected at approximately $1,500,000 each year after that. The City capital
improvement program is the source of these construction estimates.
TABLE B: MINIMUM CASH RESERVE POLICY
CASH RESERVE POLICY DISCUSSION
A minimum cash reserve target illustrated in Table B above has 6 elements. First is three months or 25% of
annual operation and maintenance (line 1) and is a frequently used primary element of a cash reserve policy
and can be labeled as a best-practice. Typically, anywhere from 3-6 months can be used. Line 2 covers the risk
and peril system facilities are exposed to, like weather, accidents and vandalisms. One to three percent of
utility plant is typical; however, a tornado, earth-quake or ice storm prone region utility may choose a higher
percentage. Deposits (3) and Debt Service (4) are contract obligations so 100% is required. The most subjective
element is for capital improvements elements lines 5 & 6. Typically, we recommend between 10% and 20%;
higher percentages for utilities with more aged utility plant and where more construction is needed for
replacements and renewals. A lower percent may be recommended for utilities with high growth rates and
where more of construction is expansion work. The 2020 minimum cash reserve is based on a recommended
policy illustrated in Table B above.
FINANCIAL FORECAST AND FIVE-YEAR RATE TRACK
Table C below shows the recommended rate increases that would be required for FYE 2023-25 (line e) to
achieve financial targets. Annual 8.5% increases are recommended effective at the beginning of each FYE
2023-25. ROI returns to positive 1.3% in 2025 and cash reserves (line 40) stay positive above cash reserve
minimum (line 41). This approach helps to stabilize revenue increases while maintaining positive financial
objectives for the utility. For this study the focus will be on recommending no rate adjustments for FYE 2021
and FYE 2022, however the rate adjustments will be designed to move classes closer to a more fair and
equitable recovery of costs by using the recommended rate design guideline of plus or minus 2.0% from the
Grand Island Study Session - 7/21/2020 Page 17 / 78

system average of 0.0% (or other as directed). The new rates will thus be effective October 1, 2021 and
October 1, 2022. Thus, no class will get more than 3.0% or less than a 3.0% decrease.
An update study will then be recommended in two years to review the utility’s financials and evaluate the
rates for FYE 2023 and beyond.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
To ensure costs are fairly recovered from customer classes, the City Council is asked to consider the following
recommendations:
1. If warranted, consider directing staff and NMPP to design 0.0% rate adjustments to be effective
October 1, 2021 and again October 1, 2022 to bring classes closer to Cost of Service. Rates will be
designed after NMPP is given direction on the level of increase in revenues and a range of allowed
impacts by class.
2. Rate changes should be reviewed every other year and adjusted as necessary to recover higher or
lower than assumed revenue, load and cost escalations. This will continue the process of bringing
classes closer to their actual cost of service, maintaining net operating income of at least about 5.0% of
plant investment, and retaining a minimum cash reserve as determined by recommended Cash
Reserve Policy.
3. Review Capital plan since that is biggest variable affecting rates at this time. Changes should be
incorporated into this model as they arise to address impacts.

Annual tonnage at the transfer station averaged 53,000 tons annually
(FY2010/FY2011)
Annual tonnage has continued to increase,with last fiscal year reaching
68,000 tons received,which is 28%higher than the FY2010/FY2011
average
The increase equates to an additional 750 truck loads of waste hauled
to the landfill in one (1)year
An additional equipment operator is imperative for keeping up with this
significant work load on an annual basis.

Discussion Regarding Cost-of-Living (COLA) Increases for Non-
Union Employees
Staff Contact: Patrick Brown
Grand Island Study Session - 7/21/2020 Page 77 / 78
Council Agenda Memo
From:Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Meeting:July 21, 2020
Subject:Discussion of Proposed Cost of Living/Comparable Compensation
Costs
Presenter(s):Patrick Brown, Finance Director
Discussion
During the July 14th Budget Work Session, there was some discussion regarding the Cost of Living
Adjustment (COLA) and comparable compensation for non-union members. Tonight’s discussion will
be primarily focused on General Fund costs however this would affect non-union employees in the
Enterprise Funds as well.
The COLA would move current compensation closer into alignment with other municipalities of
similar size in our Metropolitan Statistical Area. Those municipalities include;
Ames, IA
Sioux City, IA
Iowa City, IA
Rapid City, SD
St. Joseph, MO
Jefferson City, MO
Lawrence, KS
Manhattan, KS
The proposed adjustment minimizes pay inequities within the organization and future catchup costs.
Below is a table illustrating different combinations of COLA’s with corresponding cost savings to the
General Fund.
ADJUSTMENT COST SAVINGS
2% COLA 193,305.44$
1.5% COLA/.5% PENSION 184,102.87$ (9,202.57)$
1% COLA/1% PENSION 174,692.90$ (18,612.54)$
.5% COLA/1.5% PENSION 165,074.80$ (28,230.64)$
