ORDINANCE 1377ORDINANCE NO. 1377
AN ORDINANCE SETTING THE AMOUNT OF WASTEWATER
RATES AND CHARGES PURSUANT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY
CODE § 5471 AND EL SEGUNDO MUNICIPAL CODE § 12 -7 -3.
The City Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. The City of El Segundo requires a reliable wastewater discharge
system meeting current and anticipated water quality standards to protect
the public general welfare, health and safety.
B. The purpose of wastewater rates and charges is to protect the public
health, safety and general welfare by providing a reliable and safe
wastewater discharge system that meets current and anticipated
wastewater quality standards for the residents of the City of El Segundo
and to pay for the cost of providing such service.
C. Based upon the record, there is a reasonable relationship between the
amount of the rates and charges and the cost of services and facilities
necessary to deliver wastewater service to the residents and non-
residential development of the City.
D. This ordinance is adopted in accordance with Health and Safety Code
§ 5471 and El Segundo Municipal Code ( "ESMC ") § 12 -7 -3 to establish
the City's current wastewater rates and charges.
E. This Ordinance is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Pub. Res. Code §§ 21000, et seq.;
"CEQA ") and CEQA regulations (Cal. Code Regs. tit. 14, §§ 15000, et
seq.) because it establishes, modifies, structures, restructures, and
approves rates and charges for meeting operating expenses; purchasing
supplies, equipment, and materials; meeting financial requirements; and
obtaining funds for capital projects needed to maintain service within
existing service areas. This Ordinance, therefore, is categorically exempt
from further CEQA review under Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 14, § 15273.
F. Notice regarding the wastewater rates included in this ordinance was
provided in accordance with Government Code § 54354.5 and a public
hearing was held by the City Council on August 3, 2004 and continued to
August 17, 2004.
G. The City Council has considered the evidence and testimony
presented at the public hearing. Based in part upon that evidence, and
ob.an.,\W.�,Ra� Ob,n..(am, 07 -2&" 7:30., Page 1 of 3
the agenda reports presented to the Council regarding this issue, the City
Council believes that it is in the public interest to adopt this Ordinance.
SECTION 2. AMOUNT OF RATES AND CHARGES. Pursuant to ESMC § 12 -7-
3, the City Council establishes amount of wastewater rates as set forth in
attached Exhibit "A," which is incorporated by reference (Wastewater Charges. ")
SECTION 3. COST ESTIMATES. The City Manager, or designee, will
periodically, but not less than annually, review the Wastewater Charges to
determine whether revenues from such charges are meeting actual cost of
services and facilities needed for wastewater discharge services to the residents
and non - residential developments within the City. If the City Manager
determines that revenues do not adequately meet costs, the City Manager will
recommend to the City Council a revised rate and charge schedule to be adopted
by this City Council by ordinance.
SECTION 4. Resolution No. 3954 (adopted December 5, 1995) is superseded by
this Ordinance and therefore repealed.
SECTION 5. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC, or any other City resolution
or ordinance herein will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred
before, or preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation
occurring before, this Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will
remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations
occurring before the effective date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 6. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will
not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to
this end, the provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 7. The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original
ordinances; make a note of the passage and adoption in the records of this
meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance, cause it to be published or posted in accordance with California law.
SECTION 8. This Ordinance will take effect on the 31st day following its final
passage and adoption.

D. Annual Quality Surcharge Fee. This fee is applicable to all customers with industrial
waste permits. It is determined pursuant to the following formula:
C = V [a (SS -250) + b (BOD - 180)] k
Where
"C is the quality surcharge fee;
"V" is the average daily volume of wastewater discharged in gallons, based on (1) the
volume of water supplied to the premises less an amount determined by the Public Works
Director to account for water not discharged into the sanitary sewer system, or (2) the
metered volume of wastewater discharged into the sanitary sewer system according to a
measuring device approved by the Public Works Director, or (3) a figure determined by the
Public Works Director based on any other equitable method;
"SS" is the suspended solids in the waste discharged, expressed in milligrams per liter.
"BOD" is the five day biochemical oxygen demand of the waste discharged, expressed in
milligrams per liter.
