Griffith & Associates, Ltd. May, 1995 May be reproduced with permission from DMG and if DMG authorship is acknowledged. DA VID M.. GRIFFITH & ASSOCIATES, LTD. ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP SERVICES User Charge/Rate Studies - Our approach is based on the premise that there are two separate issues involved in this area (i.e., %ost of services" and "rate design"). It is also based on AWWA and WEF national guides which are customized to meet the client's specific objectives and needs. We normally suggest a multi-year analysis where expenses drive revenues, and the cost of service is tied to operating and capital budgets and must take into account properly allocated indirect costs. All assumptions are documented and council participation is recommended. Acquisition and Fixed Asset Studies - These services generally involve a determination of the financial and operational feasibility of combining another utility or district with a city/county utility. A key component of these studies is the valuation of the utility's fixed assets. Solid Waste Management Cost of Service & Planning Studies - DMG is typically engaged by municipalities, counties, and regional districts to identify the full cost of providing solid waste services and to assist these entities in making various decisions related to their financial health. Impact Fee Studies - Impact fees, also known as system development charges, are used to allocate the costs of increasing capacity among the users of the new capacity. Our approach considers both the "incremental method", used primarily for new construction, and the "buy-in method", used when there is existing capacity. All capital costs incurred in constructing new system capacity are recovered through fees paid only by new customers. In our studies, DMG can, if needed, determine the full cost of impact fees and present the consequences of implementing only partial fees. Financial Feasibility Studies - For debt issues requiring feasibility studies, we can perform comprehensive financial feasibility studies including rate requirements and projections of all financial statements and coverage ratios. Our studies can consider all revenue sources (e.g., impact fees). Stormwater Utility Studies - There are significant differences between County and City utilities and DMG has experience with both. Our approach is to provide assistance with all aspects of establishing a stormwater utility (i.e., feasibility analysis, program/fee design and implementation). F'manciai Planning - Long range capital improvement programs require that expenditures be planned in advance, in order to assure sXability and smoothness in rates, as well as to optimize financing arrangements. DMG utilizes a multi-year financial model (URFM) to develop and answer "what-if' questions. Expert Witness - Litigation Support - DMG has supported its clients regarding several legal matters, working closely with the clients' staff and legal advisors. Comprehensive Management and Operational Review - DMG management studies encompass all significant functions and organizational activities performed. Knowledge of how each function is performed and how it interacts or is interrelated is critical if there is to be a valid assessment of management techniques, management personnel, and operational costs. Establishing Utility Authorities - Our approach to evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of consolidating or separating utility operations goes beyond a cost analysis. The ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, the concern of "another layer of government" and political control of the activity are just a few of the issues we consider. Acquisition analysis services are also offered which include detailed financial impact analysis based on current and future system operations. Iy/M/ FO~ TEMPORAllY SERYJCE OLD DIXIE M#EEAJ.
