This amendment was enacted as "An Act to Provide for Uniform Authority to Implement System Development Fees for Public Water and Sewer Systems in North Carolina and to Clarify the Applicable Statute of Limitations."I As a requirement of the amended General Statute, the City of New Bern employed Rivers & Associates, Inc., a professional engineering consulting firm, to complete a system development fee analysis. The statute specifies that a written analysis be performed to calculate a system development fee, based uponprescriptive. criteria. The City of New Bern elected to recommend the buy-in method of the method alternatives to calculate their System Development Fee. This method essentially recoups the costs of the existing facilities to serve new developments, with new development paying its proportionateshare of the system value. The fee is calculated based upon the actual cost of non-depreciable: and dépreciable capital assets for each system less depreciation, less long-term debt and grant funds that utilized to fund the capital projects. The value  of granti funding has been adjusted to accounti fordepreciation along with the assets. Thet formula for calculation of the System Development Fee (SDF)is:  SDF = Capital Asset Value - Depreciation - Debt Credit - Grants+ Depreciated Grants  Total System.Capacity  By utilizing the abovet formula for each system, the resultant System Development Fees calculate to be:  Water System Fee Sewer System Fee  526267A28/550000GPD'-S478/GPD" 99027,894/6500000GPD'-96.00/GPD"  gallons per day  A Conversion Table is provided in Section 8.0 of this report to determine applicable specific flow rates for the development type, with general flow rates to apply provided in Appendix E. The City of New Bern has established a ceiling for the System Development Feei for any single development not to exceed $50,000.    New Bern System Development Fee Evaluation  2.0 Background  In 2016, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that municipalities did not have the authority under general law to assess "Water and Sewer Impact Fees" for developments seeking to connect to the municipality's infrastructure. These fees, as defined by some municipalities and counties, are often assessed for future infrastructure improvements such as water treatmént and wastewater treatment capacity that may be required to serve new developments. This ruling wasfollowed by the North Carolina General Assembly passing House Bill 436 in July 2017, amending Chapter 162A of the General Statutes by adding "Article 8, System Development Fees." This amendmentiwas enacted. as "An Act to Provide for Uniform Authority to Implement System Development Fees fon Public Water and Sewer Systems in North Carolina and to Clarify the Applicable Statute of Limitations/  Acopy of HB436 is included with this analysis Asar requirement of the amended General Statute, the Cityof New Bern employed Rivers & Associates, Inc., ap professional engineering consulting firm, to complete a system development fee analysis. The statute specifies that a written analysis be performed to calculate an system development fee, based upon prescriptive criteria. This analysis must then be posted and made available to the publici for a period of not less than 45 days, soliciting comments on the analysis, and modifying or revising the analysis based on those comments. Following this period, the localgovermentunit. musthold aj public hearing on the system development fee, prior to consideration for adoption by the unit. An additional stipulation requires that the  as Appendix A.  analysis be updated atl least every fiveyears. 3.0 Description of the Analysis  ASystem Development Fee, as défined ini the statute, isa charge or assessment for service imposed with respect ton new development to fund costs of capital improvements necessitated by and attributable to such new dévelopment, to recoup costs of existing facilities which serve such new developments, or a The System Development Fee may be derived utilizing one of several methods to establish the fee. These methods include the buy-in method, incremental or marginal cost method, or a combined cost method. The buy-in method lessentially reçoups the costs of the existing facilities to serve new developments, with new development paying its proportionate share of the system capacity. The incremental/ marginal cost method is utilized if the local" government unit desires to recoup the cost of expanding the water or sewer system to serve a new dévelopment. The new development would pay its proportionate share of the expansion. The combined cost method utilizes a combination of the buy-in and incremental cost methods Based upon discussions with City staff, the City has elected to recommend the "buy-in" method for this analysis.

In 2016, the City of New Bern utilized approximately 709of its wastewater treatment capacity and! 54% of its water production capacity on an average daily basis. If past trending continues, the plateau effect the City has seen through waten conservation and addressing inflow and infiltration issues will continue into the foreseeable future. This will allow the'City to maintainn their current capacities near-term. In utilizing the buy-in methodology, new.development paysits.proportionate cost share of capacity int the existing system assets. This method meets the requirements outlineduin GS 162A-205. The method is a well established method for accounting practices in. the water and sewer industry, and well documented in AWWA's M1 Manuall - Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges (AWWA, 2017).2 The basis for calculating the costs associated with previously completed. capital improvements according the statute "shall be determined by using a generally accepted method of valuing the actual or replacement costs of the capital improvement for which the buy-in fee is being collected less depreciation, debt credits, grants, and other generally The value of the cost of capital improvements (capital assets) can be readily determined utilizing capital asset information outlined in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). Excerpts from the 2017 CAFR are included in Appendix B. This value is based upon the original cost less accumulated depreciation, as outlined in AWWA M1 (p.332).41 The values assigned in the CAFR are based upon generally accepted accounting principles and practices, in accordance with governmental accounting standards and the Policy Manual for Local Governments in North Carolina (Department of State Treasurer, 2014).5 The CAFR is independently audited each year by a third party accounting firm who completes an audit of the financial information in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. The purpose of this audit is to  accepted valuation adjustments."3  3Page    New Bern System Development Fee Evaluation  provide an opinion of the City's representation of financial information with respect to changes, fund The City uses the straight line method to depreciate their capital assets over the assets' useful life, ata a uniform rate of depreciation per period. The estimated useful life for different assets is outlined in the "Notes to Financial Statements" in the City's CAFR, Note 1.M.5 The estimates for useful life are consistent with industry standards for water and sewer infrastructure. In accordance with standard accounting practices, land and construction in progress are considered as non-dépreciable assets. Construction in progress does not meeti the "litmus" test fori the owner receiving thel benefitiof use and risk of ownership of The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 defines capital assets as "land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, machinery, equipment, : infrastructure, and all other tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have initial useful. lives extending beyond a single reporting period."This definition is also presented inthe Executive Summary of the North Carolina Department of the Treasurer's Policy Manual for Local Governments, Section 20, Capital Assets. The Policy Manual further states that the capital assets and the related depreciation expense should be recordedin thev accounts of proprietary funds. The City's water and sewer funds are separately established as enterprise on proprietary funds in the CAFR and are considered Although assets associated with the water and sewem systems, as defined above, include items such as equipment, vehicles and furniture and fixtures, the City has elected not toi include these items int this capital asset calculation. The System Development Feei is calculated using non-depreciable and depreciable assets of land, buildings, treatment equipment and distribution/collection system components. These assets are the backbone of each system (water and sewer), assets necessary to provide capacity to customers. The system values are calculated as the value of the assets, less depreciation, less debt credits and less grant  reporting, etc.  the asset, andi therefore: are not depreciable.  business-type activities.s  funds that may have been usedtofund: a particular capital asset project.  5.0 Water and Sewer System Values  Tables 1 and 2 below provide.alsummary of the net depreciated asset value for each enterprise fund utilizing information provided in Appendix C and D, respectively for the water and sewer funds as of the  fiscal year ending June 30, 2017: Table 1.

These wells couldprovide as much as 9.0 MGD of water to the City for consumption. The raw water supply was pristine, requiring no treatment other than disinfection with chlorine prior to entering the distribution system. Althoughthe City still utilizes this drinking water source andi treatment process, the CCPCUAI limited the amount of withdrawal fromy the aquifer allowed byt the State. Asaresult, the City selected an alternate primary water supply source. The alternate source selected was raw water from the lower Castle Hayne Aquifer which required a conventional filtration and softening treatment plant to treat iron and manganese and reduce the hardness of the supply. Construction of the new 5.5 MGD water treatment plant was completed inl May 2010, at atotal project cost of $33,606,624.00. Although the Cove City well fieldi is stilli in use, the total reduction through the CCPCUA rule anticipated a reduction of available capacity to just over The water distribution system consists of 333 miles of distribution and transmission mains, three ground  1.0 MGD. The average daily water production in 2016 was 3.52 MGD. storage tanks, six elevated storage tanks andi three highs service pumps.  5Page    New Bern System Development Fee Evaluation  Sewer  The original wastewater treatment plant was a single treatment train, trickling filter plant constructed in 1964. The original treatment capacity was 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD). A: second treatment train was addedi in 1991 for an additional 0.7 MGDi in capacity. Thet treatment process was changed in 20031 from the fixedi film trickling filter process to an activated sludge biological nutrient removal (BNR) process in order to meet more stringent environmental regulations for effluent characteristics and to comply with a Special Order by Consent (SOC). The construction oft the new wastewater treatment, plant increased thet treatment capacity from 4.7 to 6.5 MGD (1.8 MGD increase), with a total project cost of $23,644,079. The average The sewer collection system consists of 419 miles of gravity collection sewer, pressure force mains,  daily flow fromi thei treatment plant for calendar year 2016 was4.57-MGD. manholes and approximately 111 sewage pumping stations. 7.0 System Development Fee Calculation  The value of the water and sewer systems wascalculated based upon the actual cost of capital assets for each system less depreciation, long-term debt andi grant funds utilized to fund capital projects. As acceptable in good engineering judgment and generally accepted accounting practices, the value of grant funding has been depreciated along with the assets. Using the buy-in method, net depreciated asset value is divided by the total treatment capacity for water or sewer treatment for each respective fund.

Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets received prior to. June 30, 2015 are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. Donated capital assets received after June 30, 2015 are recorded at acquisition value. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add tot the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.

Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources  In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflow of resources, represents aconsumption of net position that applies to at future period(s) and sO will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then. The City reports several deferred outflows related to the pension plans, one type of deferred outflow of resources being recognized is a deferred outflow of resources for the City's actual contributions to the pension plan during the fiscal year ended. June 30, 2017, which was subsequent to the measurement date of the net pension liability. The deferred outflows will be applied to future measurement periods. The City! has four (4) items that qualify for reporting in this category which occurs in the governmental activities and in thei individual proprietary funds. The City reports deferred outflows of resources for the: (1) difference between expected and actual experience of the pension plan, (2) net difference between projected and actual investment earnings on the pension plan assets, (3) changes in proportion and the difference between the City's actual contributions towards the pension plan and the City's proportionate share of contributions, and (4) changes in the plan assumptions. The net difference between projected and actual investment earnings on the pension plan assets are amortized over five (5) years, while the remaining deferred outflows of resources will be amortized over the remaining service  period of plan members.  36    APPENDIX C  Water Fund Asset, Depreciation, Debt Credit and Grant Summary  with Asset Audit    Water Asset Valuation  Non-depreciable Capital Assets  Land  $852,479 $3,683,396 $4,535,875 $34,192,669 $23,500,528 $57,693,197 $62,229,072 ($5,373,169) ($9,430,178) ($14,803,347) ($21,844,306) ($39,990) ($21,884,296) ($36,687,643) $5,999 $26,267,428  Construction in Progress Buildings, Treatment Equipment Distribution Systems  Subtotal  Depreciable Assets  Subtotal  Total Asset Valuation  Less Accumulated Depreciation  Buildings, Treatment Equipment Distribution Systems  Subtotal  Less Debt Credits, Grants, etc.  Debt for Water Plant Expansion Water Treatment Project Grant  Subtotal  Total Asset Deductions Water Treatment Project Grant Net Depreciated Asset' Value  Plus Depreciated Grants  Depreciation    PE    TE  B555585 1615  4655 E  :  80    mmm  Aiil  mmmntg Ee  a  6  955559585 8B888  -  o0 :8 655    MNN  3  MPTTE  3  0 5  333858  65   333333    de :88 1 858 - 988 de 885 ES  11 de  3333333  13883383883388338388 333      I  a  888  00 :  333333 3 3 5 3333333: 3 888335 3    E M  m -  8 o  1s Inl  8  iil  o m m  3333 3 3333 3 3 3 33333  W 353 3 3  NN 3333  3    Ml -  1  o 9  00 o o 0 EE  r 3 3 3 Nr    me  T 5 55  3 o a  EE BEBEBE  08e 00  :0e  :  :        A    APPENDIX D  Sewer Fund Asset, Depreciation, Debt Credit and Grant Summary  with Asset Audit    Sewer Asset Valuation  Non-depreciable Capital Assets  Land  $12,389,511 $1,087,023 $13,476,534 $39,429,375 $37,223,499 $76,652,874 $90,129,408 ($17,918,608) ($9,764,810) ($27,683,418) ($7,130,245) ($473,007) ($8,105,483) ($8,930,624) ($500,000) ($25,139,359) ($52,822,777) $1,458,987 $99,776 $162,500 $1,721,263 $39,027,894  Construction in Progress  Subtotal  Depreciable Assets  Buildings, Treatment Equipment Distribution Systems  Subtotal  Total Asset Valuation  Less Accumulated Depreciation  Buildings, Treatment Equipment Distribution Systems  Subtotal  Less Debt Credits, Grants, etc.  February 2003 WWTP Debt March 2003 WWTP Debt Trent' Woods Sewer Construction Wastewater Improvements (Quarry Project) Grant Waste Treatment Plant Upgrade Grant  Subtotal  Total Asset Deductions  Plus Depreciated Grants  Trent' Woods Sewer Construction Wastewater Improvements (Quarry Project) Grant Waste Treatment Plant Upgrade Grant  Subtotal  Net Depreciated Asset Value    a to to  a  a  10    a 8 1E  60 2 i i 11  a  fifid  20 55 44    8e  i D8 80 d0 8 -    ATNATN  E885 20 9  aiaiiininl  6 6    6 E d8 B de  -   - F  -    0  46 0 0 88 d0 0    3 2s 80 - AL 0  000    0  o BA N  BA 9  885  8    9  C 3 6 3  )  > a    888   I 6  - Efitili  368    5    $    APPENDIXI E  Flow Rate Determination, 15A NCAC Subchapter 2T. .0114    15AI NCAC 02T. .0114 WASTEWATER DESIGN FLOW RATES  (a) This Rules shallb be usedt to determine wastewater: flow rates fora alls systems covered by this Subchapter unless alternate criteria are providedb by aj programs specific rule and fori flow usedi for thej purposes of15AI NCAC02H.0105.
