SUMMARY EXPLANATION: There are several events /issues that have had significant impacts on
the estimated expenditures that were budgeted for the Water /Irrigation Division for 1997. The
foremost of these being the Acquavella proceeding and the issues that have arisen out of
those proceedings.
• In addition to Ac uavella the programs associated with the consolidation of the Irrigation
q � P 9 9
Systems via the creation of an Irrigation Utility have brought with them costs that were not
envisioned at the time the budgets were being set. During the process of developing the utility
ordinance, the need to further upgrade several options for the City's existing Water Financial
Model has become evident. These options will permit staff to undertake integrated
assessment of the financial needs for the irrigation and domestic water utilities.

Acquavella and other Legal Service Costs
It appears at this time that the vast majority of activities remaining to be accomplished this year
involves the domestic water system. Should the Judge issue a preliminary report in 1997 as
promised, the required level of participation could again change.

..These issues are significant and the City will be required to address them in order to
continue to meet the demands being placed on domestic water system.
2 ..The development of this ordinance involves a very unique circumstance and needs to be
approached very carefully and completely. To our knowledge, no other community in
this State, or possibly the Region have addressed changing from the Assessment
District format to a Utility. There are operation, and debt issues which must be
completely resolved in this ordinance.
3 ..This proposal is a further development of the modeling program initiated in 1996 for the
domestic water system. This segment will develop similar capabilities for the new
irrigation utility. Further work will be required at a later date.
4 ..It appears at this time that the vast majority of activities remaining to be accomplished this
year involves the domestic water system. Should the judge issue a preliminary report in
1997 . as promised, the required level of participation could again change.
