Case Background
Creola, Inc. (Creola or utility) is a Class C utility serving Francis Mobile Estates I and II, mobile home communities of approximately 684 residential and 8 general service wastewater customers in Highlands County. Water service is provided by the City of Sebring. The utility is in the Highlands Ridge Water Use Caution Area of the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Pursuant to Order No. PSC-92-0956-FOF-SU, issued September 9, 1992, in Docket No. 910933-SU, In Re: Application of Creola, Inc. for a Wastewater Certificate in Highlands County, Creola was granted Certificate No. 473-S for its wastewater system. No modifications have been made to the certificate since it was issued. The utility’s 2003 annual report shows gross revenue of $120,451 and a net operating income of $0.00.
On August 30, 2002, an application for transfer of the wastewater system was filed by Francis I Amenities Corporation, Inc. Trust (the Trust). According to the application, on March 2, 2001, the utility and the Trust entered into an agreement for purchase and sale of the utility and multiple properties within the Francis Mobile Estates I. The closing on the transfer took place on June 15, 2001. Subsequently, the Trust filed an agreement assigning all of its contractual rights and interests in the utility to Francis I Utility, L.L.C., (Francis I or buyer), as of August 11, 2003.
This recommendation addresses the transfer of the wastewater facilities and certificate from Creola to Francis I. The Commission has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to section 367.071, Florida Statutes.
Discussion of Issues
All of the filing requirements for the application were completed on August 4, 2004. The application as filed and amended is in compliance with the governing statute, section 367.071, Florida Statutes, and other pertinent statutes and administrative rules pertaining to an application for the sale, assignment or transfer of certificates of authorization. The territory being transferred is described in Attachment A.
Noticing. Pursuant to Rule 25-30.030, Florida Administrative Code, the application contained the requisite proof of noticing. No objections to the application were received by the Commission and the time for filing such has expired.
Sales Contract and Financing. The application contains documentation to comply with Rule 25-30.037(2)(g), (h), (i), and (k), Florida Administrative Code, regarding terms of the sale and financing of the purchase, including a copy of the agreement for purchase and sale. The purchase price for the utility and land of $325,000 is part of a $4 million purchase of the Francis I Mobile Home Park. The purchase is secured by a 10-year $3,100,000 mortgage at 6.95% for the entire purchase.
Proof of Ownership. Rule 25-30.037(2)(q), Florida Administrative Code, requires the utility to provide proof of ownership or an agreement for long term use of the land upon which its facilities are located. The application contains a copy of the recorded warranty deed transferring the property upon which the utility treatment facilities are located to Francis I.
Annual Reports and Regulatory Assessment Fees (RAFs). Staff has verified that, in accordance with Rule 25-30.037(2)(r), Florida Administrative Code, the application contains a statement regarding the disposition of any outstanding RAFs, fines, or refunds owed. Staff has verified that the 2003 and all previous annual reports were timely filed. Also, RAF Reports have been filed and the RAFs have been paid timely through December 31, 2003. No penalties, late fees, interest, or refunds are due or outstanding for compliance with the Commission’s Annual Reporting or RAF requirements. Francis I will be responsible for the 2004 and all future annual reports and RAFs.
Environmental Compliance. Pursuant to Rule 25-30.037(3)(p), Florida Administrative Code, the application contains a statement that the buyer has performed a reasonable investigation of the utility system and found the overall condition of the wastewater treatment plant and facilities to be in satisfactory condition and in general compliance with the requirements of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Staff has contacted DEP and verified that there are no outstanding notices of violation.
Public Interest. The application contains a statement, pursuant to Rule 25-30.037(2)(j), Florida Administrative Code, that the transfer is in the public interest. Creola sold its assets in Sebring, Florida, to a group of mobile home park residents. Francis I Mobile Homeowners Assn., Inc., purchased the rental lots and other vacant land. The shared common amenities were bought by Francis I Amenities Corporation, Inc. (Amenities). Francis I Amenities Corporation, Inc. Trust purchased the wastewater system and subsequently assigned its interest to Francis I Utility, L.L.C.
The applicant indicated that the transfer is in the public interest because the owners have a significant investment in all three entities formed for the three purchases listed above. There are 161 shareholders of Amenities who own 162 lots (24%) in the mobile home park and have a direct personal and financial interest in both the Amenities and the Trust. The Francis I investors live within the service territory and personally know the quality of the wastewater service. Francis I has contracted with the same certified operator for plant operations that has been used by Creola and the utility will continue to employ the personnel who are familiar with the administrative and regulatory affairs of the utility.
Territory Description. Although the same area is described, the territory description submitted with the utility’s transfer application appears different than the area represented in the Commission’s earlier order granting the utility its original certificate. The territory description reflected in Order No. PSC-92-0956-FOF-SU, in Docket No. 910933-SU, issued September 9, 1992, In Re: Application of Creola, Inc. for a Wastewater Certificate in Highlands County, Florida, shows eight distinct parcels, each with beginning and ending metes and bounds descriptions. There have been no territory amendments since that order was issued. The territory description submitted with the transfer application shows one continuous metes and bounds description which encompasses all the parcels separately identified in the earlier order. The utility has explained to staff that the reason for the change in the territory description is because it was not sure that the original description met the metes and bounds requirements per Commission rule. In addition, the utility believes that it is better to have its territory described through a single description as opposed to the earlier multiple descriptions. The description submitted by the utility describes the same area detailed in Order No. PSC-92-0956-FOF-SU. Therefore staff recommends that the revised territory description reflected in Attachment A be approved.
Conclusion. Based on the above, staff recommends that the transfer of facilities and Certificate No. 473-S from Creola to Francis I Utility, L.L.C., is in the public interest and should be approved effective the date of the Commission’s vote. Francis I should be responsible for all RAFs and annual reports for 2004 and the future. The territory being transferred is described in Attachment A.
Issue 2: What is the rate base of Creola at the time of transfer?
Books and Records. Creola failed to maintain its books and records in accordance with the NARUC USOA. Pursuant to Rule 25-30.115(1), Florida Administrative Code, all water and wastewater utilities are to maintain their accounts and records in conformity with the NARUC USOA. Staff recommends that the utility should be required to provide proof, within 60 days of the Commission’s order becoming final, that it has set up its books and records using the NARUC USOA and that the adjustments to plant balances have been made to reflect the balances established pursuant to this order as of August 11, 2003.
Utility-Plant-in-Service (UPIS). The UPIS balance in the SARC order was $382,918, as of August 31, 1993. Staff reviewed invoices and other documents to support plant additions of $104,758 from September 1, 1993, through August 11, 2003. In addition, staff recommends that an adjustment of $39,319 be made for retired assets which were not removed from Creola’s books. Therefore, staff recommends that the utility’s UPIS balance should be adjusted to include the additions and retirements noted above, leaving a balance of $448,357 in UPIS as of August 11, 2003.
Land. The utility’s books and records reflect the balance for land established in the previous rate case of $1,768 for its 4.727 acres. Therefore, staff recommends that the utility’s land account should not be modified.
Accumulated Depreciation. Creola’s accumulated depreciation as of August 31, 1993, was $149,813. The accumulated depreciation reflected on the utility’s books did not reflect the guideline rates in Rule 25-30.140, Florida Administrative Code. In addition the utility did not adjust accumulated depreciation for retired assets. Staff recommends that the utility’s accumulated depreciation be increased by $215,337 to reflect depreciation from September 1, 1993, to August 11, 2003, using the guideline rates in Rule 25-30.140, Florida Administrative Code, and decreased by $39,319 for plant retirements, resulting in a balance of $325,831 as of August 11, 2003.
Contributions-In-Aid-of-Construction. The utility’s Contributions-In-Aid-of-Construction (CIAC) as of August 31, 1993, was $271,039, pursuant to the SARC order. No connections were added since August 31, 1993. Therefore, staff recommends that no change be made to CIAC.
Accumulated Amortization of Contributions-In-Aid-of-Construction. The balance in accumulated amortization of Contributions-In-Aid-of-Construction (CIAC) in the SARC order was $108,688. Staff recommends that the accumulated amortization balance be increased by $100,385 for the period of September 1, 1993, through August 11, 2003, resulting in an accumulated amortization balance of $209,073 as of August 11, 2003.
Conclusion. Staff recommends that, as of August 11, 2003, rate base is $62,328 for the wastewater system. Schedule No. 1 shows the calculation of wastewater rate base. Schedule No. 2 details staff’s recommended adjustments. Schedule No. 3 shows staff’s recommended account balances for UPIS and accumulated depreciation as of August 11, 2003. Staff notes that rate base for transfer purposes does not include the normal ratemaking adjustments for working capital or used and useful. Within 60 days of the date of the order, the utility should be required to provide a statement from its accountant indicating that the utility’s books have been set up using NARUC USOA and adjusted to reflect the Commission approved rate base balances as of August 11, 2003.
Creola’s current rates for wastewater service were approved by the Commission in an administrative price index proceeding effective August 2, 1998. Service availability and other charges were approved pursuant to Order No. PSC-94-0569-FOF-SU, issued May 13, 1994, in Docket No. 930847-SU, In Re: Application for a staff-assisted rate case in Highlands County by Creola, Inc. The utility’s approved rates and charges are shown on Schedule No. 4.
Francis I provided a statement that, at the time of closing, there were ten residential customers with life leases which contain provisions wherein the garbage collection fees, the monthly wastewater bills, and lawn maintenance costs were included in the total monthly lease payments. The Francis I Mobile Homeowners Association, Inc. pays the monthly wastewater charges to the utility for the customers subject to the life leases. As a result, the utility collects payment from or on behalf of all customers.
Francis I has not requested a change in the rates and charges of the utility. Accordingly, staff recommends that the existing rates and charges for Creola be continued, pursuant to Rule 25-9.044(1), Florida Administrative Code, until authorized to change by the Commission in a subsequent proceeding. The tariff pages reflecting the transfer should be effective for services provided or connections made on or after the stamped approval date on the tariff sheets.
