Subject: State and Federal Legislative Monthly Report
State Legislative Update
Legislators and their staff spent the month of November preparing for the start of the 2022
legislative session and relocating into their temporary office space as the Capitol building
undergoes renovations. However, the Legislature’s temporary relocation, the uncertainty of new
legislative districts as the Redistricting Commission rounds its final stretch of map dr afting, and
the onset of a new COVID-19 variant is expected to result in a busy start of session in January
2022. There has yet to be an official announcement from the Senate or Assembly leadership
regarding a process for how meetings and committee hearing procedures will function in the new
year. Preliminary legislative and budget discussions are currently being held over Zoom, but that
may change as Legislators and staff settle into their new spaces and assess the urgency of the
current COVID-19 climate.
LAO Releases 2022-23 State Budget Outlook
In November, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its fiscal outlook report for the
State’s upcoming fiscal year 2022-2023 budget cycle. The report’s significant takeaway is that
the State is projected to have a $31 billion operating surplus in the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
Despite the economic impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the LAO expressed that State
revenues are growing at “historic rates,” which can be attributed to an annual 30 percent rate
increase in tax collections in the 12-month period ending in September, representing the fastest
rate in roughly 40 years.
While the surplus is great news for the State’s fiscal stability, it is important to note that not all off
the $31 billion will be under the Legislature’s discretion. The report estimates that in order to meet
the State Appropriations (“Gann”) Limit requirements, which limits State expenditures to the
annual growth in population and to growth in average personal income, the State would need to
divert roughly $14 billion between statutorily available avenues, which could include personal
income tax rebates and additional funding for education. The report noted that there is significant
uncertainty in these figures, and that the State could have $12 billion in additional appropriations
limit requirements in 2022-23. Ultimately, the report reiterated that the Gann Limit would likely be
a key issue this year and implored the Legislature to explore ways to meet past and current
Page 8 of 108
2
appropriations limit requirements prior to the introduction of the May Revision and budget trailer
legislation.
To put the upcoming budget projections into context, the 2021-22 budget had a budget surplus of
nearly $80 billion, with an estimated $16 billion in excess revenue needed to be split in order to
meet Gann Limit requirements. Through deft accounting strategies, which included diverting funds
into programs like cash relief payments to Californians under specified income levels, the state
was able to recalibrate expenditures to create some space within the spending cap.
Looking forward, the Governor has left us with a few hints that clue us in to how his draft budget
framework proposal could look when he unveils it on January 10, 2022. This includes public
comments he has made in favor of using some of the surplus funds to pay down the state’s $11.3
billion in pension obligations as well as ramping up infrastructure investments to mirror the federal
dollars coming down the pipeline.
Department of Water Resources - State Water Project Allocation
In early December, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that State Water
Contractors should expect to receive zero percent of their allocations through the typical water
distribution process until there was a clearer picture of the hydrology of the State in 2022.
California is currently experiencing significantly dry conditions while the State’s reservoirs are
mostly at or near historic lows for this time of year. A zero percent allocation of the requested
deliveries from the State Water Project is extremely rare this early in the year, as the lowest
allocation delivery was 5 percent in previous droughts.
Although the State will be operating on a zero percent allocation going into the new year, DWR
expects to revisit the issue should more supply be made available from captured snowpack or
rains.
Furthermore, this initial allocation and dismal start to the water year points toward an increasing
likelihood of the Legislature and the Governor getting more involved in stricter water use
regulations. If conditions do not improve, it is possible that the Administration and Legislature will
revert to mandatory conservation regulations that the entire State was under during the most
recent multi-year drought. Furthermore, indoor water use standards are expected to be discussed
at length in 2022, potentially resulting in legislation that sets ambitious indoor water use
standards.
California Redistricting Commission Releases Draft Maps
In November, the California Redistricting Commission released its official preliminary maps, five
days before the self-imposed November 15 deadline to ensure meetings were not scheduled
during the Thanksgiving holiday. Commissioners voted unanimously to release preliminary
congressional, State Senate, and State Assembly maps for public comment. Following the
hearings to receive input on the drafts, the Commission will hold a total of 14 line-drawing sessions
to refine the maps before voting on the final districts in late December. While these official draft
maps reflect changes incorporated from public comment after the period of map “visualizations”,
the maps are expected to still change quite a bit. Final maps must be unveiled by December 23
and sent to the Secretary of State by December 27.
While the foremost duty of the Commission is to ensure that each district has roughly the same
population size, other requirements, such as not diluting the voting power of minority blocks and
Page 9 of 108
3
keeping districts geographically intact, have led to some interesting preliminary drawings,
particularly on the congressional front as the State prepares to lose a congressional seat.
Currently, Republicans hold 11 of California’s 53 U.S. House seats. The draft congressional map
creates 39 Democratic-leaning districts, 7 Republican-leaning seats and 6 toss-up districts.
On the State Assembly and Senate front, these preliminary maps reflect a total of 28 members of
the Assembly and 16 members of the Senate who are paired up in districts, meaning that those
whose districts are reconfigured away from their residence will need to relocate into their new
district boundaries. Unlike the last time new maps were drawn in 2012 when there were over 30
termed out members of the Assembly, this year there are no Assembly Members leaving due to
term limits. Nevertheless, district boundaries are bound to change once public comment is
received and incorporated into future drafts.
Legislative Leaders Review Recall Reform Ideas
State officials continue to examine California’s recall system for potential reform, following the
failed attempt to recall Governor Newsom which ultimately cost about $276 million to conduct.
Over the course of the Legislature’s adjournment, the Assembly Elections Committee and the
Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee held a joint informational hearing to
discuss the current practice. Joint committee members compared recall procedures in other
states, debated the qualifying factors for a recall election, and heard from various academics on
potential alternatives to the existing recall process. The committees continued to hold additional
hearings and even indicated an interest in adding local reform recall to the agenda. In addition,
the Little Hoover Commission, California’s independent citizens’ oversight agency, kicked off a
series of hearings in mid-October focused on the history of California’s recall system, public
opinion about the system, and potential changes that can be made to improve the system. The
discussions and input received during these special committee hearings are likely to materialize
into legislation in the 2022 session.
COVID-19 Updates
New Variant
The new COVID-19 variant “Omicron,” which has demonstrated a massive increase in
transmissibility and potential to result in serious illness, is currently being assessed by the
California Department of Public Health. State Public Health Officer and Director of the California
Department of Public Health (CDPH) Dr. Tomás J. Aragón issued a statement expressing the
Department’s close monitoring of the rapidly evolving situation related to the new variant of
concern. The State has established a public-private partnership through the California SARS-
CoV-2 Whole Genome Sequencing Initiative called “COVIDNet” to provide the state with genomic
sequencing to help understand and control the spread of COVID-19. This effort will help detect
the variant early in California.
OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards
In early November, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the
Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) that implements the Biden Administration’s COVID-19
vaccine mandate for large employers: employers with 100 or more employees. The OSHA ETS
was to be published November 5, 2021 with employer obligations beginning on December 5,
2021.
Page 10 of 108

However, the federal ETS has seen legal challenges, with the requirements likely to make their
way to the Supreme Court following the issuance of a stay from the United States Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals. In response, federal OSHA announced that it plans to suspend implementation
and enforcement of the ETS pending further developments in the federal litigation.
With regard to Cal/OSHA’s actions on the matter, the agency’s consideration of adoption of a
standard substantially similar to the federal ETS was delayed pending additional information in
connection with the federal litigation referenced above. Therefore, the Standards Board removed
consideration of the matter from its November 18 meeting agenda. While adoption and
enforcement of the federal ETS in substantially similar or more stringent form remains unclear at
this time, California employers may wish to begin gathering required information and planning for
compliance now. Notably, many of the ETS's requirements require compliance by December 6,
which include establishing workplace vaccination policies, determining employee vaccination
status, providing specific information to employees about the ETS, and establishing reporting
requirements for sickness and/or COVID-related fatalities, among other things.
Although it appears unlikely, it is possible that Cal/OSHA will adopt its version of the ETS prior to
resolution of the challenges to the federal ETS. It is also possible that later adoption,
implementation, and enforcement of the ETS will not alter current compliance deadlines.
State Legislators Play Musical Chairs
The month of November saw a notable number of legislators announcing their plans to move into
different positions, leaving their seats vacant and subject to special election unless consolidated
with upcoming general election dates. Below is a brief overview of some of the Legislators that
have chosen to pursue other opportunities, and the significance it carries in the overall political
function of the Legislature.
• Assembly Member Jim Frazier announced he will retire from his position as Assembly
Member and Chair of the Governmental Organization Committee to explore opportunities
in the field of transportation, effective December 31, 2021.
• Assembly Speaker Pro Tem Kevin Mullin announced his plans to run for his district’s
Congressional seat, following an announcement of Congresswoman Jackie Speier’s plans
to retire.
• Senator Sydney Kamlager filed to run for Congresswoman Karen Bass’ seat.
• Assembly Member Marc Levine from Marin County is running for insurance
commissioner.
• Assembly Member Rudy Salas launched a congressional campaign challenging
Republican Representative David Valadao.
• Assembly Member Ed Chau has been appointed the next Los Angeles County Superior
Court judge.
• Assembly Member Richard Bloom of Santa Monica is running for L.A. County Board of
Supervisors.
• Assembly Member Jim Cooper is expected to announce his bid for Sacramento County
Sherriff.
• Former Assembly Member David Chiu’s San Francisco Assembly seat is scheduled for
special election in April, with the primary scheduled for February 2022. This means there
will need to be a new Assembly Housing Chair in the near future before the session
starts in January.

Federal Legislative Update
November saw the passage of the long-awaited crucial infrastructure funding that created dozens
of new opportunities for communities. Funding will be utilized to revitalize roads, bridges, water,
and broadband infrastructure. Congress still has much to accomplish before the end of the year
and December will continue to be a busy month on the Hill. On the agenda is the awaited passage
of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Government funding for FY22, and Senate
consideration of the Build Back Better Act.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
On Monday, November 15, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was signed into law by
President Biden. Included in the package are a number of funding opportunities in the form of
formula and competitive grants that will be created in the early months of 2022.
Highlights of the bill include:
• $42.5 billion for a Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program within the
Commerce Department that would provide grants to increase connectivity to underserved
and high-cost areas.
• $1 billion over five years for grants to support the construction, improvement, or acquisition
of “middle-mile” projects that connect network infrastructure to limit single points of failure.
• $7.3 billion from the main federal-aid highway allocation and authorize an additional $1.4
billion from the HTF from fiscal 2022 through 2026 as part of a new Promoting Resilient
Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation (PROTECT)
program.
• $2.5 billion over five years for grants for electric vehicle charging stations and alternative
fuel infrastructure.
• $14.7 billion from fiscal year 2022 through 2026 for the Environmental Protection
Agency’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program
As detailed in previous reports, the law includes the U.S. Senate’s Drinking Water and
Wastewater Infrastructure Act which was passed by the Senate in April of 2021. The law
reauthorizes $35 billion in existing programs and creates new programs to support drinking water
and wastewater infrastructure projects. A majority of this funding is allocated to the existing
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund
(CWSRF), both administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Drinking Water State Revolving Funds
The law authorizes $14.7 billion from fiscal year 2022 through 2026 for the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program, which provides capitalization
grants to states for loans supporting water infrastructure projects.
The measure would require at least 12% of such funding to be used to subsidize loans to
disadvantaged communities, increased from 6% under current law, if there are enough
applications for loans to those communities.
The measure also would permanently extend a requirement, set to expire in fiscal year 2023, that
projects funded through the Drinking Water SRF use only U.S.-produced iron and steel.
Page 12 of 108
6
Lead Reduction
The law extends an EPA grant program to support replacement of lead water lines by five years,
through fiscal 2026, and increase the annual authorization to $100 million, from $60 million. The
measure would authorize $200 million over five years to address lead contamination in school
drinking water, including through testing and remediation.
Small and Disadvantaged Communities
The law will extend the authorization for compliance assistance grants to public water systems in
small and disadvantaged communities through fiscal 2026. The law will authorize $70 million in
fiscal 2022, increasing to $140 million by fiscal 2026.
The measure would authorize $50 million annually through fiscal 2026 for a pilot program to award
competitive grants to states to implement improvements to water systems, with priority for states
with a high proportion of underserved communities.
Leak Detection and Repair
The measure would authorize $50 million annually through 2026 for grants for leak detection,
repair, and monitoring in small public and nonprofit water systems. An additional $50 million per
year would be authorized for larger systems for infrastructure resilience and sustainability. Half
the funds would go to systems serving populations from 10,000 to 100,000, and half would go to
systems serving 100,000 or more.
Clean Water State Revolving Funds
The measure would authorize $14.7 billion from fiscal year 2022 through 2026 for the EPA’s Clean
Water State Revolving Funds program, which provides capitalization grants to states for loans
supporting water quality improvement projects, through fiscal year 2026.
Under the law, states have to use at least 10% and as much as 30% of the capitalization grants
for “additional subsidization,” such as loan forgiveness. The minimum would apply only if there
are sufficient applications for assistance.
Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
The law extends the annual $50 million authorization for the Water Infrastructure Finance
and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan program through fiscal year 2026.
The law also would reduce to one, from two, the number of opinion letters from credit rating
agencies required in each application for funding.
Sewer Overflows
The law authorizes $280 million in each of fiscal year 2022 through 2026 for grants to states to
support municipal planning and construction of projects to address combined sewer overflows,
including systems to notify the public when untreated overflows are released into waterways.
At least 25% of the grant funding in each state would have to be allocated to projects in rural or
financially distressed communities, if there are enough eligible project applications, with at least
60% of that allocation dedicated to rural areas.
Research Grants
The law authorizes $75 million per year through fiscal year 2026 for research grants to address
water pollution and training at water treatment works. The current $25 million-peryear
Page 13 of 108
7
authorization runs through fiscal 2023. At least $50 million per year would be for grants to
nonprofits supporting small, rural, and tribal water treatment operations.
Emergency Appropriations
The measure also would provide $55.4 billion in supplemental emergency appropriations for EPA
state and tribal assistance grants, including for capitalization grants through the Clean Water
State Revolving Funds and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds. Amounts set aside for
specified activities for fiscal year 2022 through 2026 would include:
• $15 billion to replace lead service lines.
• $5 billion to support disadvantaged communities affected by emerging contaminants.
• $5 billion for clean and zero-emission school buses.
• $4 billion to address emerging contaminants with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS).
Western Water Infrastructure
The measure would provide $8.3 billion for the Bureau of Reclamation’s water and related
resources activities, including:
• $3.2 billion set aside for the aging infrastructure account for maintenance of bureau-owned
water infrastructure.
• $1.15 billion for water storage, groundwater storage and conveyance projects
• $1 billion for water recycling and reuse projects
• $250 million for desalination projects
• $1 billion for rural water projects
• $500 million for dam safety projects
• $300 million for the Colorado River Drought Contingency Plan
• $400 million for WaterSMART Water and Energy Efficiency Grants
• $100 million for the Cooperative Watershed Management Program
• $250 million for Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program
• $50 million for Colorado River fish species recovery programs.
TPA will continue to update the District about newly created programs as the rules become
finalized and notification for funding opportunities are released by the appropriate agency.
Build Back Better Act
On November 19th the House of Representatives passed H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better Act by
a vote of 220-213. The bill contains the remaining provisions of President Biden and
Congressional Democrats’ economic agenda not included in the bipartisan infrastructure bill – the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act – which was signed into law on November 15.
This bill provides funding, establishes programs, and otherwise modifies provisions relating to a
broad array of areas, including education, labor, child care, health care, taxes, immigration, and
the environment. For example, according to a Congressional Research Service summary, the bill
provides funding for:
• management of the National Forest System;
• job placement and career services;
• safe drinking water, energy-efficiency, and weatherization projects;
Page 14 of 108
8
• electric vehicles and zero-emission, heavy-duty vehicles;
• public health infrastructure and supply chain resiliency;
• housing, rental, and homeowner assistance programs;
• cybersecurity programs;
• tribal infrastructure, housing, environmental, and health programs;
• wildfire prevention, drought relief, conservation efforts, and climate change research;
• small business assistance and development;
• transit services and clean energy projects in low-income communities;
• funding for high speed rail; and
• infrastructure and administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Additionally, the bill establishes programs to provide:
• free child care for children under the age of six,
• free universal preschool services, and
• health benefits for eligible individuals who reside in states that have not expanded
Medicaid.
The bill also includes provisions that:
• establish a methane fee for certain petroleum and natural gas facilities;
• expand Medicare to cover hearing, and vision care;
• provide certain aliens with a legal status (e.g., those who entered the United States as
minors);
• provide up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave;
• restructure and increase the tax rates for certain corporations and high-income individuals
(e.g., individuals with income over $400,000); and
• require the Department of Health and Human Services to negotiate maximum prices for
certain brand-name drugs under Medicare.
The bill now heads to the Senate where it will almost certainly be modified to meet the demands
of moderate Democratic Senators. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer stated earlier this
week that it is his intent to bring it up for a vote in the Senate before Christmas. This timing is
contingent on reaching an agreement with the Senate’s moderate holdouts. The bill is being
considered through the budget reconciliation process, which provides a privileged status to the
bill allowing it to circumvent the Senate’s 60-vote supermajority threshold under the filibuster rule.
Democrats only have 50 votes in the Senate with Vice President Harris breaking a tie. Because
of this they need unanimous agreement among their members to pass the bill. Republicans have
shown united opposition to the bill in both the House and Senate.
Appropriations
The previous Continuing Resolution passed in October by Congress, was set to expire December
3rd. However, on December 2nd, Congress extended the CR through February 18, 2022. This
temporary extension extends current funding levels from the previous fiscal year (FY21) until
February 18. Besides supplemental funding for Afghanistan-related issues, it does not enact any
new spending, nor does it contain any of the earmarks included in House and Senate
appropriations bills. In order for those earmarks to become law, Congress must pass the
appropriations bills in which they are contained.

PFAS Action Act
Earlier this year the U.S. House of Representatives pass H.R. 2467, the PFAS Action Act with
bipartisan support. The bill, if enacted into law would require the following:
• Require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a national drinking
water standard for PFOA and PFOS within two years that protects public health, including
the health of vulnerable subpopulations.
• Designate PFOA and PFOS chemicals as hazardous substances within one year and
requires EPA to determine whether to list other PFAS within five years.
• Designate PFOA and PFOS as hazardous air pollutants within 180 days and requires EPA
to determine whether to list other PFAS within five years.
• Require EPA to place discharge limits on industrial releases of PFAS and provides $200
million annually for wastewater treatment.
• Prohibit unsafe incineration of PFAS wastes and places a moratorium on the introduction
of new PFAS into commerce.
• Require comprehensive PFAS health testing.
• Create a voluntary label for PFAS in cookware.
On November 15, 2021 California Attorney General Rob Bonta joined 19 other state attorneys
general asking the Senate to pass the PFAS Action Act. The letter to Senate leaders was signed
by the attorneys general of New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that was passed in November also includes
dedicated funding for the remediation of emerging contaminants such as PFAS administered
through the state drinking water revolving funds. As such, the PFAS Action Act’s passage in the
Senate not guaranteed, as some Senators are likely to question the need so soon after passing
legislation to address emerging contaminants.

ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT CALENDAR FOR SEPARATE ACTION
8.6.Budget to Actual Reports for the Month Ending September 30, 2021
Director Lindsey asked about the increase in sewer related expenses. Staff
explained this was due to a higher allocation percentage. Last fiscal year,
93% of the District’s overall expenses were allocated for water related
services and 7% were allocated for sewer related services. Following
analysis, it was determined that the District’s sewer related activities were
increasing and thus 85% of the District’s overall expenses are being
allocated for water related services and 15% for sewer related services this
fiscal year. Vice President Miller inquired about the District’s days of cash
on hand. Staff reviewed some of the District’s recent and upcoming major
expenditures and commented on the need to draw from the line of credit to
reimburse the District for capital related expenses. Staff agreed to provide
the Board with an updated report on days of cash once October’s financials
were finalized.
Director Lindsey made a motion, seconded by Director Jones, to receive
and file the Budget to Actual Reports for the Month Ending September 30,
2021. Motion carried 5-0-0-0 on a roll call vote.
8.11.PFAS Water Treatment Plant Project Backup Generator for Headquarters
and Budget Contingency Reserve
Vice President Miller asked if this expenditure had been included in a
previous authorization approved by the Board. Staff explained that the
required electrical system improvements for the backup generator were
omitted from the construction documents and that this expenditure from the
contingency reserve would not cause the project to be over budget. Vice
President Miller indicated he was in favor of staff’s recommendation for Item
Nos. 8.11 and 8.16. The Board elected to vote on these two items at the
same time.
8.16.Purchase of Sound Attenuated Trailer Mounted 4” Pump Package
Director Miller made a motion, seconded by Director Lindsey, to: (1) receive
and file notification of the District’s use of the PFAS Water Treatment Plant
Project budget contingency reserve to include electrical system
improvements related to the backup generator for District Headquarters;
and (2) to authorize the General Manager to utilize funds from the Sewer
Capital Reserve to purchase a Sound Attenuated Trailer Mounted 4” Pump
Package from Charles King Company (lowest bidder) for $74,213.00
Motion carried 5-0-0-0 on a roll call vote.

regulatory streamlining. Mr. O’Donnell then outlined the process for utilizing
and updating the platform and responded to related questions from the

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:December 14, 2021
TO:Board of Directors
FROM:Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS:Annie Alexander, Senior Executive Assistant / Board Secretary
SUBJECT:Re-Authorizing Continuation of Virtual/Teleconference Board
Meetings
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 2021-XX finding and determining that: (1) a
state of emergency related to COVID-19 continues to be in effect; (2) state and local officials
continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19;
(3) due to the COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the
health and safety of attendees; and (4) continued remote meetings are hereby re-authorized
for the period of December 14, 2021, through January 13, 2022, pursuant to California
Government Code Section 54953(e).
SUMMARY:
Governor Newsom signed into law AB 361 which amends the Brown Act to allow the Board to
continue to meet remotely during declared emergencies proclaimed by the Governor due to
COVID-19 under certain conditions: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended
measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the Board determines or has determined as a
result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or
safety of attendees.
BACKGROUND:
In order to continue holding Board meetings remotely and by virtual/teleconference as has
been previously occurring, the Board will need to reconsider and make a determination that as
a result of the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks
to the health and safety of the attendees. The Orange County Health Care Agency, which is
responsible for health orders in Orange County, has provided recommendations for social
distancing and masking for indoor events. Additionally, the COVID-19 virus, especially the
Delta variant, continues to spread throughout the Orange County community. The Center for
Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the Delta variant is highly contagious and
continues to recommend wearing masks in public and in indoor settings. For these reasons,
staff recommends that the District continue to hold Board meetings remotely by
Page 30 of 108
virtual/teleconference for the next 30 days.
AB 361 also adds new procedures and clarifies the requirements for conducting remote
meetings, including the following:
1. Public agencies may not require public comments to be submitted in advance.
2. In the event of a technical disruption, the public agency cannot take any further action
on the agenda until the technical issue is resolved.
3. Beginning 30 days after the first meeting, the legislative body must reconsider the
continuing need for virtual meetings every 30 days. The legislative body must find each
time that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency, and the
state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet
safely in person or state and local officials continue to impose or recommend measures
to promote social distancing. If a majority of the members of a legislative body do not
adopt these findings, then traditional Brown Act provisions for teleconferencing will
apply.
Should the Board vote to re-authorize implementation of the provisions of AB 361, these
requirements will apply:
1. Notices and agenda requirements remain the same under the Brown Act.
2. No physical location is required for public attendance or public comment. However, the
public must be able to access and participate in the meeting through a call-in or an
internet-based service, and instructions for how to participate must appear on the
posted notices or agenda.
3. Teleconference meetings must protect the statutory and constitutional rights of the
parties and the public.
4. If there is any disruption of the call-in or internet-based service, the agency must
suspend the meeting until the problem is fixed.
5. Legislative bodies may allow public comments to be submitted prior to a meeting, but
must also allow the public to participate in real-time through call-in or internet-based
service.
6. If an internet-based service requires registration through a third party, individuals can
be required to register with the third party to participate in the meeting.
7. When providing a public comment period, whether after each item or during a general
comment period, a legislative body must allow reasonable time for members of the
public to comment and must also include reasonable time for members to register with
a third party host, if applicable.

RESOLUTION NO. 2021-XX
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
RELYING ON THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION OF A STATE
OF EMERGENCY ON MARCH 4, 2020, AND RE-AUTHORIZING VIRTUAL
BOARD MEETINGS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361
WHEREAS,the Yorba Linda Water District (“District”) is committed to preserving public
access and participation in meetings of the Board of Directors.
WHEREAS,all meetings of the District’s legislative bodies are open and public, as
required by the Ralph M. Brown Act (California Government Code Sections
54950-54963), so that any member of the public may attend and participate
in the District’s meetings.
WHEREAS, starting in March 2020, in response to the spread of COVID-19 in the State
of California, the Governor issued a number of executive orders aimed at
containing the COVID-19 virus.
WHEREAS,among other things, these orders waived certain requirements of the Brown
Act to allow legislative bodies to meet virtually.
WHEREAS,pursuant to the Governor’s executive orders, the District has been holding
virtual meetings during the pandemic in the interest of protecting the health
and safety of the public, Board members, and District staff.
WHEREAS,the Governor’s executive orders related to the suspension of certain
provisions of the Brown Act expired on September 30, 2021.
WHEREAS,on September 16, 2021, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 361,
Government Code Section 54953(e), which allows legislative bodies to
meet virtually provided there is a state of emergency declared by the
Governor, and either: (1) state or local officials have imposed or
recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the legislative
body determines by majority vote that meeting in person would present
imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.
WHEREAS,such conditions continue to exist in the District, specifically, a state of
emergency has been proclaimed related to COVID-19 by the Governor of
California as of March 4, 2020, local officials continue to recommend
measures to promote social distancing, and because of the ongoing threat
of COVID-19, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health
and safety of attendees.
WHEREAS,the Board of Directors previously adopted Resolution No. 2021-40 on
October 21, 2021, finding that the requisite conditions exist for the
legislative body of the District to conduct remote teleconference meetings
without compliance with Government Code Section 54953 (b)(3).
Page 32 of 108
Resolution No. 2021-XX Re-Authorizing Virtual Board Meetings Pursuant to AB 361 2
WHEREAS,as a condition of extending the use of the provisions found in Government
Code 54953(e), the Board of Directors must reconsider the circumstances
of the state of emergency, and the Board has done so.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda
Water District as follows:
SECTION 1.Remote Teleconference Meetings: Consistent with the provisions of
Government Code Section 54953(e), the Board of Directors finds and
determines that: (1) a state of emergency related to COVID-19 continues to
be in effect; (2) state and/or local officials continue to recommend measures
to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; and (3) due to
the health and safety of attendees, and, based on the foregoing facts,
findings, and determinations, the Board re-authorizes staff to conduct
remote teleconference meetings of the Board of Directors, including
Committee meetings, per the provisions of Government Code Section

BACKGROUND:
For the month ending October 31, 2021, staff is presenting Budget to Actual Reports for the
District as a whole, as well as the individual water and sewer funds.
Cumulative Volumetric Water Revenue, as reported for the month ending October 31, 2021,

period. Landscape/irrigation customer connections had the highest decrease in consumption
sales of 8.25% as compared to reported results from the prior year.
Total Variable Costs results, as reported through the month ending October 31, 2021, reflect a
53.75% increase when compared to prior year for the same reporting period. The increase in
costs is predominantly reflective of the increase in import water purchases.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:December 14, 2021
TO:Board of Directors
FROM:Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS:Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
Kelly McCann, Senior Accountant
SUBJECT:Cash and Investment Report for the Period Ending October 31,
2021
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Cash and Investment Report for the Period
Ending October 31, 2021.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 530607, et. seq., requires the person delegated to invest funds to
make a monthly report of investments to the legislative body. The Cash and Investment
Portfolio Report presents the market value and percent yield for all District investments by
institution. The Cash and Investment Summary Report includes budget and actual interest
and average term portfolio information as well as market value broken out by reserve
categories. The Fair Value Measurement Report categorizes investments by the fair value
hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The Unrestricted Reserves
and Days in Cash Graph presents Water Unrestricted Reserve Balances and Days in Cash at
a particular point in time for the last five years.
The average portfolio yield for the month ending October 31, 2021, is .28%.
The District's Total Cash and Investment balance as of October 31, 2021, resulted in an
overall decrease in the investment balance from the previous month is approximately
$271,804. A larger balance includes a decrease in the Water Operating Fund of $332,943
due to the negative net effect between operating revenues and expenses through the
reporting month of the fiscal year. Sewer Operating Fund had an increase of $10,186 due to
the positive net effect between operating revenues and expenses through the reporting month
of the fiscal year. The PARS fund increased by $43,498 due to an increase in the value of
investments.

Page 59 of 108
waterlines and required the District to modify the impacted waterlines according to the terms
and conditions of the licenses for the waterlines within BNSF right of way. The waterlines are
located near the Yorba Linda Blvd overpass on Esperanza Road, within the City of Yorba
Linda's boundaries on the north end and the City of Anaheim's boundaries on the south end.
The waterline on the east side of the Yorba Linda Blvd overpass is the single feed to the SAVI
Ranch area. The District’s on-call consultant, Psomas, prepared the plans to relocate this
waterline (Job No. J-2021-02).
The waterline on the west side of the said overpass is an interconnection with the City of
Anaheim. The City of Anaheim and the District agreed on the abandonment of this waterline.
District staff prepared the plans for abandonment of the interconnection (Job No. J-2021-19).
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION:
None. The project was initiated as a result of BNSF’s project.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G1 4B - Address infrastructure needs by updating/implementing the Capital Improvement Plan;
G1 6B - Provide a sustainable, adequate water supply by maintaining distribution system and
its capability to provide 100% groundwater and/or import water to the entire service area.

TO:Board of Directors
FROM:Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS:Alison Martin, Public Affairs Manager
SUBJECT:Legislative Platform for Calendar Year 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the proposed legislative platform for calendar year 2022.
SUMMARY:
Staff and the District's legislative consultants will provide a presentation on the proposed
legislative platform for calendar year 2022 that contains the following changes suggested by
the Board.
Addition to Water Supply Section:
Support legislation that encourages, funds, and maintains water recycling systems like the
Ground Water Replenishment System that is managed by Orange County Water District.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The District works to influence legislation and funding opportunities in Sacramento and
Washington, D.C. to promote fiscal stability, preserve local control, and support regulatory
streamlining. This document would serve as the guide by which the District actively engages
with legislation through monitoring and communications activities. The 2022 YLWD Legislative
Platform represents the District’s position on current or future issues that have the potential to
impact the District or its interests. The Guiding Principles and Policy Statements will allow
District staff and consultants to address 2022 legislative and regulatory issues promptly,
without precluding the consideration of additional legislative and budget issues that may arise
during the legislative session. Furthermore, the 2022 Legislative Platform is an important
advocacy tool to present and deliver to elected officials who represent the YLWD service area
locally or in Sacramento and Washington D.C. Sharing policy statements and positions on
common legislative and regulatory issues with elected officials helps to shape policy decisions
Page 61 of 108
and positions YLWD to be a leader in the community for legislative and regulatory topics.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G1 5A - Meeting with lobbyists, representatives, and regulators at all levels
(local/state/federal).; G1 5B - Actively participate with existing water/sewer organizations on
regulatory and emerging issues.; G4 2D - Communicate emerging water quality and sewer
issues/regulations.

PURPOSE
This document serves as the guide by which the Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) actively
engages with legislation through monitoring and communications activities. The 2022 YLWD
Legislative Platform represents the District’s position on current or future issues that have the
potential to impact the District or its interests.
Below are the Guiding Principles and Policy Statements that will allow District staff and
consultants to address 2022 legislative and regulatory issues promptly, without precluding the
consideration of additional legislative and budget issues that may arise during the legislative
session.
Furthermore, the 2022 Legislative Platform is an important advocacy tool to present and deliver
to elected officials who represent the YLWD service area locally or in Sacramento and
Washington D.C. Sharing policy statements and positions on common legislative and regulatory
issues with elected officials helps to shape policy decisions and positions YLWD to be a leader in
the community for legislative and regulatory topics.

PROCESS
Legislative positions will be recommended by YLWD staff and the District’s legislative advocates
and submitted to the Board of Directors for their consideration
In times where the legislative position of the District is unable to go to the Board of Directors in
time before it is acted upon in the Legislature, as long as it is in line with the adopted legislative
platform or the position taken is the same as any local agency partners or association agencies
including but not limited to the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California (MWDSC), the Municipal Water District of Orange County
(MWDOC), Orange County Water District (OCWD), Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD)
the California Special District’s Association (CSDA), Community Water Systems Alliance
(CWSA), or the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), the Board President can
sign position letters on behalf of the District. If the Board President takes any legislative position
due to this process, the legislative position will still be brought before the next Board of Directors
meeting after the fact for discussion and direction.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
I. PROMOTE FISCAL STABILITY
Seek funding opportunities for YLWD projects through grants, appropriations, or other means.
Help YLWD access additional funding sources that will promote local reliability projects.
Support measures that promote fiscal stability, predictability, financial independence, and
preserve the District’s financial independence. Oppose measures that do not provide

II. PRESERVE LOCAL CONTROL
Preserve and protect the District’s powers, duties, and prerogatives to operate within its
service area and to determine the policy direction of local affairs, and oppose legislation that
preempts local authority. Local agencies should preserve authority and accountability for
revenues raised and services provided, including maintaining the ability to charge for services
rendered or collect proportional impact, connection, or capacity fees.
III. SUPPORT REGULATORY STREAMLINING
Support legislation that aims to streamline the regulatory environment by reducing regulation,
reviewing regulation, or proposing regulations without affecting YLWD’s ability to operate
safely and effectively. Oppose redundant regulatory processes or procedures that increase
costs and add time to projects without justifiable benefits.

Fiscal
Support the development of bond or general fund programs for water supply development,
including new surface and groundwater storage, water quality, recycled water,
desalination, and water use efficiency related programs.
Oppose legislation that places unnecessary or unfair regulations on pension liabilities.
Support an equitable approach to the disbursement of State Revolving Fund revenues for
a wide variety of projects.
Oppose legislation and regulations that tax water as a public goods charge and
redistributes the revenue throughout the State.
Support state and federal revenue sources for water infrastructure projects that address
water quality and reliability issues for disadvantaged and income-limited communities and
residents that are not based upon regressive taxes.
Support the protection of local revenue for use by special districts and the maintenance of

PURPOSE
This document serves as the guide by which the Yorba Linda Water District
(YLWD) actively engages with legislation through monitoring and
communications activities. The 2022 YLWD Legislative Platform represents
the District’s position on current or future issues that have the potential to

Furthermore, the 2022 Legislative Platform is an important advocacy tool to
present and deliver to elected officials who represent the YLWD service
area locally or in Sacramento and Washington D.C. Sharing policy
statements and positions on common legislative and regulatory issues with
elected officials helps to shape policy decisions and positions YLWD to be
a leader in the community for legislative and regulatory topics.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:December 14, 2021
TO:Board of Directors
FROM:Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS:Alison Martin, Public Affairs Manager
SUBJECT:Support of Federal PFAS Legislation that Protects Ratepayers and
Water/Wastewater Agencies
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 2021-XX supporting Federal PFAS
Legislation that protects ratepayers and water/wastewater agencies.
BACKGROUND:
PFAS are a group of chemicals developed by chemical manufacturers that would otherwise
not exist naturally and despite playing no role in releasing PFAS into the environment, cities
and water agencies must find ways to remove them from local water supplies. PFAS have
been detected in the Orange County Groundwater Basin, managed by Orange County Water
District, and are estimated to cost Orange County communities more than $1 billion over 30
years—a cost that will likely increase.
Ratepayers are at risk from pending PFAS legislation and associated PFAS costs. The PFAS
Action Act of 2021 (H.R. 2467) exposes water agencies that simply receive and treat water
supplies with across-the-board liability for PFAS-related cleanups. Since water and
wastewater agencies have no responsibility for the presence of PFAS, an explicit exemption
from Superfund clean-up liability must be made for them.
When setting drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS, the District can advocate for the
USEPA to use a longstanding cost/benefit analysis methodology. Under existing law (Safe
Drinking Water Act), the USEPA ensures that public health benefits of new drinking water
standards are reasonably balanced with the compliance costs that water system ratepayers
will ultimately incur. Eliminating this analysis would burden ratepayers of all income levels with
astronomical costs to comply with drinking water standards.

RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
SUPPORTING FEDERAL PFAS LEGISLATION THAT PROTECTS
RATEPAYERS AND WATER/WASTEWATER AGENCIES
WHEREAS,the Yorba Linda Water District (“District”) is a county water district organized
and operating pursuant to the provisions of the laws of the State of
California (State or California).
WHEREAS,PFAS are a group of chemicals developed by chemical manufacturers that
would otherwise not exist naturally and despite playing no role in releasing
PFAS into the environment, cities and water agencies must find ways to
remove them from local water supplies.
WHEREAS, PFAS have been detected in the Orange County Groundwater Basin,
managed by Orange County Water District, and are estimated to cost
Orange County communities more than $1 billion over 30 years—a cost that
will likely increase.
WHEREAS,ratepayers are at risk from pending PFAS legislation and associated PFAS
costs, and water agencies and stakeholders must take action to inform
members of Congress of these devastating impacts.
WHEREAS,all PFAS-related legislation must exempt water and wastewater agencies
from any liability for PFAS cleanup costs.
WHEREAS,a water utility that complies with applicable and appropriate federal
management and treatment standards must not be responsible for current
and future costs associated with a PFAS cleanup.
WHEREAS,given the potential for federal legislation, such as the PFAS Action Act of
2021 (H.R. 2467), to expose water agencies that simply receive and treat
water supplies with across-the-board liability for PFAS-related cleanups
when they have no responsibility for the presence of PFAS, an explicit
exemption from Superfund clean-up liability must be made for water and
wastewater agencies.
WHEREAS,under existing law (Safe Drinking Water Act), the USEPA ensures that
public health benefits of new drinking water standards are reasonably
balanced with the compliance costs that water system ratepayers will
ultimately incur and eliminating this analysis would burden ratepayers of all
income levels with astronomical costs to comply with drinking water
standards.
WHEREAS,when setting drinking water standards for PFOA and PFOS, we advocate
for the USEPA to use this longstanding methodology.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE:December 14, 2021
TO:Board of Directors
FROM:Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS:Annie Alexander, Senior Executive Assistant / Board Secretary
SUBJECT:Board of Directors' Compensation
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors review the Directors' current compensation rate and discuss if it
should remain the same for the next calendar year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budget: $90,000 for FY22
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with California Water Code Sections 20201-20202, the amount of
compensation for members of the Board of Directors is currently set at $150 per day for each
day's attendance at meetings of the Board and other meetings attended at the request of the
Board, not to exceed 10 days per calendar month. Section 20202 also allows for an increase
in the amount of compensation up to 5% for each calendar year following the operative date of
the last adjustment. As the last adjustment was effective March 24, 2003 per Ordinance No.
03-01, the Board of Directors would be eligible for an increase in their current compensation
rate up to $360.99 per day as of March 24, 2021. Attached are the results of a draft
compensation survey initiated by IRWD for comparison to other local water agencies.
Should the Board recommend an increase in the amount of compensation, an ordinance
would need to be adopted pursuant to the procedures specified in Water Code Sections
20203-20204 and Government Code Section 6066:
A public hearing would need to be held prior to adoption of the ordinance.
Notice of the hearing would need to be published in a newspaper of general circulation
once a week for two successive weeks prior to the public hearing.
The ordinance would become effective 60 days from the date of its final passage.
No action is necessary if the Board desires the compensation rate to remain the same.

Page 3 of 3
City Manager Mark Pulone gave an overview of SB 1383 and stated that the city
will have an approved organic recycling ordinance by the end of the year. The City
will be providing outreach and education to encourage residents to capture food
scraps with landscaping waste and is making efforts to implement the new
increased fees as economically feasible for residents as possible while allowing
the city to fully comply with the new state mandate. Mr. Pulone further stated that
the city will be working on amendments to the city’s franchise agreement with
Republic Services to align with the requirements of SB 1383.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Jamie Lai said the city is preparing for
compliance with the new mandates which will require all businesses, residents and
multifamily apartments to have access to recycling programs that manage food
scraps and other organic waste materials. She said the city is working closely with
other north Orange County cities with the same consultant to negotiate the
franchise with the city’s waste hauler.
