Signed at Plymouth, California IIsll Victoria McHenry City Clerk May 8, 2025 AGENDA 4 3 PUBLIC COMMENT PRESENTATIONS PROCLAMATIONS APPOINTMENTS 4.1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.1 COUNTS 05/08/2025 SUBJECT: Consider appointment of a Council Member as an alternate member to the ACRA Board. DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office STAFF: Margaret S. Roberts, City Manager TITLE CONSIDER APPOINTMENT OF A COUNCIL MEMBER AS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER TO THE ACRA BOARD. BACKGROUND The City of Plymouth currently has a designated representative serving on the ACRA Board. Council Member Cranford has been serving in this role and remains committed to attending meetings. However, ACRA meeting dates are sometimes rescheduled with little notice, often after Council Member Cranford has made arrangements to attend based on the original schedule. These changes have occasionally resulted in her being unable to attend meetings. Due to these scheduling issues, ACRA has recently been unable to reach a quorum, leading to the cancellation of meetings. This disrupts the business of the agency and potentially impacts Plymouth's representation and participation in recreational planning and decision-making across the county. To prevent further disruptions and to ensure the City of Plymouth maintains a consistent and active presence at ACRA meetings, staff recommends appointing an alternate Council Member who can attend in the event that the primary representative is unable to do SO. The alternate would not be expected to attend all meetings but would be available on an as-needed basis when scheduling conflicts arise. This approach provides flexibility while supporting ACRA's ability to meet and conduct business effectively. Designating an alternate Council Member to the ACRA Board is a proactive step to ensure that Plymouth remains represented at all ACRA meetings, even when scheduling conflicts occur. This action supports regional collaboration and ensures the City's interests are consistently voiced. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 4.1 a COUNTS 05/08/2025 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This is not a project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with item. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council appoint an alternate Council Member to the Amador County Recreation Agency (ACRA) Board to ensure consistent representation for the City of Plymouth.

The experience I gained in city governance has prepared me well for this role.

Sincerely, Marianne Akerland Marianne Akerland 5.1 CORRESPONDENCE DATE: April 7, 2025 TO: STATE, CITY AND LOCAL OFFICIALS NOTICE OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY'S REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR ITS 2026 COST OF CAPITAL APPLICATION (A.25-03-010) RECEIVED Acronyms you need to know PG&E: Pacific Gas and Electric Company APR 1 4 2025 CPUC: California Public Utilities Commission City of Plymouth Why am I receiving this notice? Plymouth, CA 95669 On March 20, 2025, PG&E filed its 2026 Cost of Capital application with the CPUC. The cost of capital" is the financial rate of return on invested capital that PG&E collects on its capital assets used to provide safe and reliable service. Setting the appropriate cost of capital helps ensure PG&E can secure the financing necessary to continue providing safe and reliable service for customers. In this application, PG&E is requesting to establish its authorized cost of capital for utility operations beginning in 2026 and is also requesting recovery for its actual short-term borrowing costs based on the prior year. In total, the proposed changes in the Cost of Capital application would increase PG&E's current authorized revenues by $546 million, or 3.7%. If approved, PG&E's request would become effective beginning January 1, 2026. Why is PG&E requesting this rate change? Utilities like PG&E fund the upfront costs of its capital assets with corporate loans (Long-term Debt) and equity/stock (Common Equity and Preferred Stock). Rather than requiring customers to pay upfront for infrastructure projects, investor- owned utilities like PG&E raise funds through capital markets, allowing customers to benefit from safe and reliable service at a lower immediate cost. PG&E is updating its cost of capital in this application to reflect changes in interest rates and other factors. Capital assets include, but are not limited to, electric distribution poles and wires, natural gas pipelines, utility owned power plants, and information technology systems. How could this affect my monthly electric rates? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission, and distribution services. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in April 2025. The bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $214.93 to $218.30, or 1.6% compared to rates currently in effect. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would increase by 2.2% if this application is approved. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this would impact your overall bill. Another category of non-bundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission, or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. On average, existing Departing Load customers would see a rate increase of 0.0%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC reguiatory approval. How could this affect my monthly gas rates? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution, and procurement services from PG&E. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in April 2025. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical Non-CARE bundled residential customer averaging 31 therms per month would increase from $83.86 to $86.01, or 2.6%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. How does the rest of this process work? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt 1 PG&E's application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. Parties to the proceeding may review PG&E's application, including the Public Advocates Office. The Public Advocates Office is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email: PublicAdvocatesOfice@epuc.ca.govy or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov. Where can I get more information?

Senate Bill (SB) 846 was signed into law in September 2022 and provides a path for PG&E to extend DCPP operations beyond the current operating licenses which are set to expire in 2024 and 2025. As the owner of DCPP, the legislation authorizes PG&E to collect DCPP costs from the customers of other electric utilities in California with no additional markup, including SCE and SDG&E. On March 28, 2025, PG&E filed an application requesting CPUC approval of the forecasted costs of operating DCPP in 2026. In this application, PG&E proposes to collect $410 million in customers' rates over a one-year period beginning January 1, 2026. The $410 million consists of $277 million of statewide costs, shared across the three large investor-owned utilities, and $133 million assigned directly to PG&E. For the statewide costs, PG&E is required to contribute $124 million (44.9%), SCE $125 million (45.3%) and SDG&E $28 million (9.8%). Combining PG&E's statewide costs of $124 million with the costs directly assigned to PG&E of $133 million, the total contribution for PG&E is $257 million. Why is PG&E requesting this rate change? Continued operation of DCPP is necessary to promote statewide grid reliability'. Maintaining DCPP's operation aids in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which contributes to a cleaner and more sustainable future for Californians. Going forward until DCPP's retirement, PG&E will file an annual request for recovery of forecasted costs for the upcoming year. PG&E will update its rate proposal later that year to reflect updated market prices. If the updated prices vary from the prices originally used in that year's request, it could result in higher or lower customer rates than those initially presented in March. Any differences will go toward the next application. How could this affect my monthly electric rates? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. In 2026, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would decrease from $215 to $214 or 0.5%, compared to current bills. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert in April 2025. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers receive electric transmission and distribution services and select Commission-ordered services from PG&E. If this application is approved, on average, rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would decrease by -0.7% compared to current rates. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this would impact your overall bill. Another category of nonbundled customers is other Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see a decrease of 0.2% compared to current rates. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. 1 Decision D.23-12-036, issued in December 2023 1 How does the rest of this process work? This, application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E's application, modify it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. If PG&E's application is approved, the costs of DCPP will be included in the rates paid by PG&E and other California electric utilities' customers. Parties to the proceeding may review PG&E's application, including the Public Advocates Office.

Introduced on the 10th day of April 2025, and PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Plymouth on the 8th day of May 2025 by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: ABSENT: Peter Amoruso, Mayor ATTEST: Victoria McHenry, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Frank Splendorio, City Attorney 7.1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1 COUNTS 05/08/2025 SUBJECT: Presentation of Water and Wastewater rate study and requesting City Council input and direction. DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office STAFF: Margaret S. Roberts, City Manager TITLE PRESENTATION ON WATER AND WASTEWATER RATE STUDY AND REQUESTING CITY COUNCIL INPUT AND DIRECTION TO DO PROP 218 RATE SETTING. BACKGROUND California Proposition 218 requires agencies to notify property owners and ratepayers of proposed changes to utility rates, and to hold a public hearing prior to implementing any increases. The purpose of this process is to ensure transparency and allow for public participation. Water and wastewater systems are essential services funded entirely by user rates. Periodic rate reviews and adjustments are necessary to ensure that revenues are sufficient to support operations, maintenance, capital improvements, regulatory compliance, and long-term financial stability. The City's most recent rate study was completed in 2017, and rate adjustments were last adopted in 2011. Since that time, increases in operating costs, infrastructure needs, and regulatory requirements have impacted the City's utility funds. DISCUSSION In partnership with NBS, staff conducted a comprehensive rate study evaluating the City's water and wastewater enterprise funds. The study reviewed current and projected operating expenses, capital improvement needs, reserve targets, and revenue requirements over a five-year planning period. Key factors driving the proposed rate adjustments include: Aging infrastructure requiring rehabilitation and replacement Inflationary increases in labor, energy, and chemical costs State and federal regulatory mandates The need to maintain reserve levels and debt service coverage ratios CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.1 a COUNTS 05/08/2025 The study proposes a series of moderate, phased rate increases over a five-year period to ensure financial sustainability and maintain the quality and reliability of service. Staff and the consultant will present the proposed rate structures, including fixed and volumetric charges, and outline the financial and operational rationale supporting the recommendations. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This is not a project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. FISCAL IMPACT Approval of the rate adjustments is necessary to ensure the financial health of the City's water and wastewater utilities. Without the adjustments, the City risks falling short of funding obligations for operations and capital projects. Mailing costs and consultant support for the Proposition 218 process are included in the current contract and will be paid from the Water and wastewater Enterprise Funds. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council: 1. Receive a presentation on the proposed adjustments to water and wastewater rates. 2. Authorize staff to initiate the Proposition 218 notification process, including the mailing of notices to all affected property owners and ratepayers. 3. Set a date for the public hearing as June 12 to consider adoption of the proposed rate adjustments.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office STAFF: Margaret S. Roberts, City Manager TITLE TOT GRANTS AWARDED BY THE CITY MANAGER IN 2025 AND A REQUEST FOR A GRANT FOR THE PREVIOUS QUARTER.

The event brings almost 2000 participants to Plymouth for this upscale event. Last year's event received excellent reviews from participants - 96% said they would probably/detinitely attend again. In addition, the event brings considerable revenues to local businesses in Plymouth. 42% of festival participants said they also dined or lodged at local businesses.

The Amador Vintners Association is a voluntary membership-based organization of 45 member wineries and tasting rooms located mostly in Plymouth and throughout Amador County to showcase our family-owned wineries. We look forward to creating a long-term partnership with the City of Plymouth, an important gateway to the Shenandoah Valley wineries. We are requesting $5,000 to support our budget and help cover the costs of producing the Amador Four Fires event. There are considerable costs to execute this event including catering, equipment supplies, marketing, rentals, and event staff. Without the additional funds the Amador Vintners may be unable to produce these large-scale events for the community in the future. Please see our detailed budget listing the costs. The Four Fires Festival will be held solely at the Amador Fair Ground on Saturday, May 3rd. Based on attendance at previous events, we are estimating 1,800-2,000 visitors. In addition, we host 30+ local artisan vendors to sell their products at the festival, hire several local restaurants to cater the event, and partner with local organizations such as the Boy Scouts and the local Wildlife Rescue Center. We believe the Plymouth community will also benefit from this event with increased TOT from guests travelling outside of the city and staying at the local hotels, dining at restaurants and shopping. The results from a survey of 2024 festival attendees show that these events do attract new visitors to Plymouth: 84% attended an Amador Vintners event for the first time. 90% would attend again and 92% would recommend our events to friends, family, and colleagues. 74% have household incomes of $100k or greater and 46% spend $1,000 or more on wine per year. Return on Investment - ROI We believe that the City of Plymouth benefits from TOT generated not only from the day of event participation, but also in repeat visits when these guests come back to wine country because 84% of the participants said they are new to Amador Wines and 90% of the participants said they would visit the wineries again. We included some ROI numbers based on data from the survey and assumptions. Other annual events such as the rodeo only bring guests that visit one time and not throughout the year. Day of Lodging 30% of our visitors stay the night when visiting wine country and stay at the RV Park and hotels in the Plymouth area since these are closest to the Fair Grounds. 30% * 350 rooms (1400/4) * $100 average = $10,500. This is just for the Four Fires event and doesn't factor repeat visits and need for lodging. *This Return on Investment (ROI) also does not factor revenues from gas, breweries, market, and etc. Plymouth Partnership In return, the AVA would feature the City of Plymouth as a Platinum Sponsor of the event. The sponsorship would include: Logo as a Featured Sponsor in Four Fires Event Program Logo on Four Fires Event Website as a Sponsor Thirty (30) complimentary General Admission Tickets Logo on posters and printed collateral Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the grant and support the Amador Vintners Association. If there is any additional information needed, please contact me at MeangAmaderwinscom or 916-759-3041. We look forward to partnering more with the City of Plymouth and providing exceptional events that promote the amazing community of Plymouth.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office STAFF: Margaret S. Roberts, City Manager TITLE STATUS REPORT ON THE PROGRESS OF THE 4TH OF JULY EVENTS. BACKGROUND City staff have held an initial planning meeting to organize this year's 4th of July events. The day is expected to begin with the traditional Trucks, Tractors, and Trikes Parade at 10:00 AM. Streets will be closed at Sherwood Street and Main Street, as well as at Mill Street and Main Street, just beyond the Post Office entrance, to accommodate the parade route. Evening festivities will begin at 6:00 PM in the park, featuring food and music, followed by fireworks at dusk. This is an alcohol-free event. The City will take extra steps this year to clearly communicate the alcohol policy with advanced outreach and prominent signage posted the day of the event. While law enforcement retains full discretion, citations will be requested for violations. We have been working closely with the Fire Department and the Sheriff's Office on staffing. Based on last year's obserations-partc.ulany from the Fire Chief, who attended the event in person for the first time-we will increase the fire presence this year to ensure adequate coverage and response capability. A logistics coordination meeting will be scheduled with fire, law enforcement, and city personnel to ensure all event staff are fully informed and aligned on responsibilities and contingency planning. We are still awaiting final insurance requirements for the event.

DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office STAFF: Margaret S. Roberts, City Manager TITLE PUBLIC WORKS REORGANIZATION = ELIMINATION OF TWO PART-TIME MAINTENANCE WORKER POSITIONS (.8 FTE), THE ADDITION OF ONE CHIEF WASTEWATER TREATMENT OPERATOR (1 FTE) AND RECLASSIFY THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST. BACKGROUND As part of the ongoing phased reorganization of the Public Works Department, staff has continually evaluated operations for efficiencies and cost savings. A major operational component, the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), is currently operated under a services agreement with Amador Water Agency (AWA). Upon review, the City has determined it is both operationally feasible and financially advantageous to transition the WWTP operation back to City staff. In addition, the Public Works Superintendent has conducted an assessment of department management and operational needs. It has been determined that functions can be properly performed with reduced maintenance staff. It has also been determined that the scope of work formerly performed by the Public Works Director can now be effectively managed by a position with a broader administrative support focus specifically, an Administrative Analyst. Wastewater Treatment Plant Staffing Transition Releasing AWA from the current operational agreement is anticipated to result in savings of approximately $15,000 per month. To ensure a seamless transition and maintain continuity of operations, staff recommends the addition of one full-time Chief Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator position. CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.5 a COUNTS 05/08/2025 Hiring a City-employed operator will enhance operational control, improve responsiveness to regulatory requirements, and strengthen coordination within the Public Works Department. Additionally, the City will retain the current employee who is actively pursuing wastewater operator certification. This employee will continue to work under the supervision of the new Chief Operator. Upon successful licensure, the City will have a certified back-up operator in place, further reinforcing the City's operational capacity and resilience. Maintenance Worker Adjustments To align staffing with operational needs, and recognizing efficiency improvements across the Public Works Department, the City proposes the elimination of two part- time Maintenance Worker positions. The essential duties performed by these positions can be effectively absorbed by other existing staff. This adjustment supports the cost savings associated with the transition and streamlines Public Works field operations. Reclassify the Public Works Director Position With the reorganization emphasizing operational efficiencies and decentralization of management oversight, including with the creation of the Public Works Superintendent position, it has been determined that a full-time Director-level position is no longer required. The proposed reclassification of the Director to an Administrative Analyst position will provide critical administrative, budgetary, and project support, while generating additional salary and benefit savings. Once approved, this particular change would not take effect immediately but would be implemented when appropriate in regards to current department staffing. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION This is not a project" under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. FISCAL IMPACT Overall, the proposed reorganization of the Public Works Department results in a net financial benefit to the City. While the addition of the Chief Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator position will generate a minor net cost increase when benefit costs are considered (up to $1,954.40 per month at top step), this is significantly offset by the elimination of the AWA operations contract, yielding approximately $15,000 in net monthly savings. Further cost efficiencies are realized through the reclassification CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM NO. 7.5 - a COUNTS 05/08/2025 of the Public Works Director position, resulting in additional savings between $1,708.80 and $2,780.80 per month. Collectively, these changes strengthen the City's fiscal position, improve operational oversight, and support long-term service delivery goals. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed staffing changes within the Public Works Department as follows: Eliminate two part-time Maintenance Worker positions. Add one full-time Chief Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Operator position. Reclassify the Public Works Director position to an Administrative Analyst position to be implemented at a later date selected by the City Manager. ATTACHMENTIS) None
