State Legislative Update
August 31 marked the final night of the 2021-2022 Legislative Session. January 2023 will kick off
the next two-year legislative cycle, with new bills and concepts. Notably, the new bills will be
matched by a massive class of freshman legislators and potential changes to legislative
leadership, as this year marked the departure of nearly 30 incumbent lawmakers.
The final night of the legislative session ended at two o’clock in the morning, which can be
attributed to numerous last minute legislative pushes for new climate related regulations, disputes
over a bill that would have allowed legislative staffers to unionize, and the fate of California’s last-
standing nuclear power plant. In a stark contrast to last years’ calm and quick final night of
session, many major issues had not been decided and passed with the incremental waves of
budget bills and budget trailer bills over the summer and in the month since summer recess.
Nevertheless, the Legislature decided the fate of a number of bills important to local governments
in its final days of session. Of the 2,350 bills introduced this year, the Legislature passed a total
of 1,440. As of September 2, the Governor has signed 490, vetoed 7, and still has 943 bills to
consider before the September 30 deadline.
It is expected that the Governor will follow his previous bill-signing trends and will package bills
with other similar measures for signing into law. These packages are likely to include measures
that address housing and land use, behavioral health supportive services, climate change and
energy, and Brown Act Modernization, among others. Below is an overview of a few of the bills
the Legislature has passed onto the Governor’s desk for final consideration, organized by issue
area:
Water and the Environment
For most of the legislative session, the Legislature debated one of the most controversial water
bills in several years while the water and wastewater industry were split on how to engage. The
bill, SB 1157 (Hertzberg), would lower the existing indoor residential water use target to 42 gallons
per capita per day starting in 2030, with an interim standard set at 47 gallons per capita per day
starting in 2025. Amendments late in the session requires the Department of Water Resources to
conduct additional studies about the impacts of a 2030 standard, as well as make modest changes
to the current existing variance process. Despite fierce opposition from water districts across the
State, SB 1157 (Hertzberg) narrowly passed and is now on the Governor’s desk.
In addition, bills to continue to address perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and
other forms of contamination were viewed favorably by the Legislature, including AB 2247 which
Page 5 of 51
Page 2
requires a manufacturer of PFAS or a product or product component containing regulated PFAS
that is sold, offered for sale, or distributed into the state to register product containing regulated
PFAS on the publicly accessible reporting platform created by the Department of Toxic
Substances Control (DTSC) and the Interstate Chemicals Clearinghouse (ICC). AB 2247 is on
the Governor’s desk, as well as AB 2771 (Quirk), which bans the manufacturing and sale of
cosmetic products with intentionally added PFAS as an ingredient.
In addition to policy and source control bills, the Legislature also passed SB 991 (Newman), the
most comprehensive progressive design-build for local water agencies in several years. SB 991
would allow local agencies that provide water service to use the progressive design-build project
delivery method for 15 projects over $5 million each until 2029. This represents a breakthrough
for the use of design-build as a viable project delivery method with the intention of saving time
and money.
Housing and Land Use
Throughout the 2022 Legislative Session, lawmakers were once again keenly focused on land
use and zoning reform. These efforts build upon the passage of major land use reform bills from
2021, including SB 9 (Atkins), which requires the ministerial approval of urban lot splits and two-
unit developments on single-family zoned parcels.
This year’s Session ended with the passage of several notable land use reform measures,
including AB 2011 (Wicks) and SB 6 (Caballero), both of which authorize housing development
projects in sites zoned for retail, office, parking, or along transit-rich corridors, so long as
developers utilize stricter labor standards or adhere to stricter affordability requirements. Despite
their similarities, both bills passed into law – a strategy that legislative leadership has touted as a
method to give developers the choice to decide which strategy to use when approaching a
housing development project in a non-residential zone: comply with stricter labor standards or
stricter affordability standards. As of September 2, both bills are still pending final action from the
Governor.
In addition to land use reform measures, the Legislature passed a handful of bills relating to
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) requirements. These include SB 897 (Wieckowski), which makes
various changes to existing ADU laws, including adjustments to the minimum height limitations
that a local agency may impose. Another ADU reform measure is AB 916 (Salas), which prohibits
a city or county from requiring a public hearing as a condition of reconfiguring existing space to
add up to two bedrooms within an existing dwelling unit. Both bills are pending consideration from
the Governor.
Brown Act Reform
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated reforms to the Brown Act to provide remote flexibilities to
adhere to social distancing orders. During the 2021 Legislative Session, the Legislature passed,
and the Governor signed, AB 361 (Rivas) into law, which allows local agencies to use
teleconferencing without complying with specified Ralph. M Brown Act restrictions in certain state
emergencies. Following the passage of AB 361, it was thought there would be no appetite to
modify its provisions or looks toward additional Brown Act modernization requirements. However,
this Session, three measures addressing public meetings requirements were passed by the
legislature.
These include AB 2449 (Rubio), which allows members of a legislative body of a local agency to
use teleconferencing without identifying each teleconference location in the notice and agenda of
the meeting, and without making each teleconference location accessible to the public. AB 2647
(Levine) allows writings that have been distributed to members of a legislative body of a local
Page 6 of 51
Page 3
agency less than 72 hours before an open, regular meeting to be exempt from specified
requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act), if the agency meets certain requirements.
Both measures are on the Governor’s desk awaiting consideration, as of Friday, September 2.
An additional measure, SB 1100 (Cortese), has already been signed into law. This bill authorizes
the presiding member of a legislative body conducting a meeting, or their designee, to remove an
individual for disrupting the meeting, and defines “disrupting” for these purposes.
Each of these three measures reflect modest changes to the Brown Act to allow for additional
flexibilities for local agencies. Continued remote teleconferencing for all members of a legislative
body is currently provided via the provisions established under AB 361, which are set to expire
January 1, 2024, or when the COVID-19 state of emergency is lifted – whichever comes first.
Climate and Energy
In mid-August, reports began swirling about the Governor convening meetings with Legislative
leaders and the Democratic Caucus to push forward last-minute legislation to address the climate
crisis. These priorities materialized into a memo presented to the Legislature, outlining climate
change mitigation tactics the Governor wanted to see pushed forward in legislation before the
end of Session. These included to laws set interim targets for 100 percent clean energy, regulate
projects to remove carbon from the atmosphere and smokestacks, and end new oil drilling near
communities.
Ultimately, these efforts resulted in six legislative proposals, five of which passed the Legislature
and are pending the Governor’s signature as of September 2. These five measures include the
following:
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions
Measures contained within the package relating to greenhouse gas emissions include AB 1279
(Muratsuchi), which codifies the State’s existing goal of carbon neutrality by 2045. For context,
the State enacted another greenhouse gas bill, AB 32, in 2006, requiring the State to set a target
for emissions to drop to 1990 levels by 2020. While AB 1279 passed, another, more aggressive
measure that would have set California’s target at 55% below the state’s 1990 emissions up from
the current 40% target, failed in the Assembly on the final night of session.
Clean Energy and Grid Reliability
Another measure relating to the Governor’s climate proposals is SB 1020 (Laird), which sets
interim targets for generating clean energy. A current law already requires 100% of retail electricity
to be fueled by renewables such as wind and solar by 2045. The new law would add 90% by 2035
and 95% by 2040. In addition, all State agencies must source their energy from 100% renewable
sources by 2035, ten years sooner than law now requires.
The question remains, however, if California’s electrical grid can handle the surge in energy
demand. The State is expected to see a 68% increase in energy consumption by 2045, according
to the California Air Resources Board. To handle that increase, the Agency estimates that the
state needs to expedite renewable energy projects.
The issue of grid reliability was addressed in SB 846 (Dodd) which aims to keep the state’s last
remaining nuclear power plant in Diablo Canyon operating until 2030 and gives its operator,
Pacific Gas & Electric, a $1.4 billion loan to do so. This bill was viewed as one of the most
contentious bills of the final night of session – with proponents arguing the need to keep the power
plant functioning in the face of increase grid demand, and opponents concerned about accidents,
nuclear waste issues, and a perceived “PG&E bailout.”

Carbon Sequestration
SB 905 (Caballero) directs the California Air Resources Board to develop a program and set
regulations for carbon capture, utilization and storage projects at polluting industries, such as oil
refineries. The practice is supported by the oil industry, but environmentalists say it has the
potential to do more harm than good and prolongs the lives of fossil fuels. The State has yet to
see a large scale carbon capture and storage development seen to fruition.
Another bill approved by the Legislature, AB 1757 (C. Garcia), would require the State to set
targets for removing planet-warming carbon from the atmosphere with nature-based methods,
such as planting trees, restoring wetlands and scaling up public landscaping and urban forestry
projects. The bill received widespread support from environmentalists, who say nature-based
solutions to combating the existing amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the air is a better
approach than relying on engineered technologies.
Oil Well Setbacks
The 2022 Legislative Session saw several attempts to establish buffer zones around oil and gas
wells and other large-scale industrial equipment, to prevent their encroachment on “sensitive
receptors” like residential zones and schools.
SB 1137 (Gonzalez), which requires 3,200 foot setbacks between new oil and gas wells and
sensitive receptors, narrowly passed the Legislature on the final night of session. The bill also
requires operators to take certain steps at the thousands of existing wells within that buffer zone.
Included is a plan to monitor toxic leaks and emissions, and install alarm systems. In addition,
new requirements would include limits on noise, light, dust and vapors.
Looking Forward
As previously mentioned, the Governor will have until the end of September to act on all measures
passed by the Legislature. Last year, Governor Newsom approved 92 percent and vetoed 7.9
percent of the bills that made it to his desk. It is expected that he will sign a similar percentage of
bills into law this year.
In addition to the onset of new laws, next year will mark massive changes in the State Legislature.
The decennial redistricting process caused numerous lawmakers to move, battle for new district
spots, or retire. This, coupled with the onset of another graduating class of legislators under the
new term limit requirements established by Prop. 140 (1990), has prompted many legislators to
not seek reelection. As such, 2023 will bring forward a new class of freshman legislators –
specifically, 10 new Senators and 19 new Assembly Members.
This is likely to spark new leadership changes, bill ideas, and shift the makeup of factions within
the Democratic Caucus. For instance, Assembly Member Robert Rivas has already signaled his
intentions of battling Incumbent Speaker Anthony Rendon for the coveted Assembly Speakership.
If he succeeds, it is likely he will appoint new committee chairs and internal leadership positions.
Governor Newsom Announces Water Strategy for a Hotter, Drier California
Last month, Governor Newsom announced California’s latest actions to increase water supply
and adapt to more extreme weather patterns caused by climate change. The actions, outlined in
a strategy document published by the Administration called “California’s Water Supply Strategy,
Adapting to a Hotter, Drier Future” calls for investing in new sources of water supply, accelerating
projects and modernizing how the state manages water through new technology.
Page 8 of 51
Page 5
To help make up for the water supplies California could lose over the next two decades, the
strategy prioritizes actions to capture, recycle, de-salt and conserve more water. These actions
include:
• Creating storage space for up to 4 million acre-feet of water, which will allow us to
capitalize on big storms when they do occur and store water for dry periods
• Recycling and reusing at least 800,000 acre-feet of water per year by 2030, enabling
better and safer use of wastewater currently discharged to the ocean.
• Freeing up 500,000 acre-feet of water through more efficient water use and conservation,
helping make up for water lost due to climate change.
• Making new water available for use by capturing stormwater and desalinating ocean water
and salty water in groundwater basins, diversifying supplies and making the most of high
flows during storm events.
These actions are identified broadly in the Newsom Administration’s Water Resilience Portfolio –
the state’s master plan for water released in 2020 – but they will be expedited given the urgency
of climate-driven changes.
Governor Newsom Issues State of Emergency to Prevent Grid Strain with Increased Energy
Demands
On August 31, Governor Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency to temporarily increase
energy production and reduce demand. The California Independent System Operator has called
a Flex Alert, asking Californians to reduce their electricity consumption between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.
to save power and reduce the risk of outages.
Actions the State has taken to accelerate the transition to clean energy have put an estimated
4,000 megawatts on the grid that were not available in July 2020. Since then, the State has also
developed emergency measures including adding generators and a Strategic Energy Reserve,
additional procurement, and demand response to produce 2,000 megawatts available to respond
to emergency conditions. However, because the recent heat wave has impacted the entire
western United States, limited energy resources are being stretched across multiple states. The
prolonged drought has also greatly reduced the State’s ability to generate hydroelectric power.
Additionally, the duration of the late August- early September heat wave is unlike those
experienced in recent history increasing the length of time the grid will face peak demand.
This emergency proclamation will allow power plants to generate additional electricity, permits
use of backup generators to reduce the amount of energy they need to draw from the grid during
the periods of peak energy demand during this heat wave, and allows ships in California ports to
reduce their consumption of electricity from the grid.
CARB Bans Sale of New Gas-Powered Vehicles, Beginning 2035
On August 25, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted their Advanced Clean Cars II
(ACC II) Regulations requiring automobile manufacturers to deliver to the California new vehicle
market increasing percentages of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) as a portion of their overall
product deliveries between model years 2026 and 2035. The ACC II regulations’ proposal to
increase the sale of ZEVs would culminate in nearly 100 percent sales of ZEVs by the 2035 as
directed by Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-79-20.
For context, in 2018 and 2019 Assembly Member Ting introduced legislation banning the sale of
gas-powered vehicles by 2035. That legislation never made it out of Assembly Transportation
Page 9 of 51
Page 6
Committee due to lingering questions about its viability. Without answers to these and other
questions, it appeared that this policy was going to struggle through the Legislature, so instead,
in 2020 Governor Newsom produced an Executive Order directing CARB to develop regulations
to implement the strategy. The ACC II regulations are the result of that order.
During the development of the regulations, automakers cautioned CARB that while technological
advances may lower compliance costs, consumers may still not accept new technologies at the
rates required by the regulation and stressed that complementary ZEV policies to facilitate the
ZEV market are needed. Other stakeholders representing business associations expressed
concerns about ZEV affordability.
CARB staff determined that, when weighing the benefits of emissions reductions against the
increased costs imposed by the proposal, the net result of the ACC II regulations are estimated
to be a cumulative net benefit to California of $91.1 billion with a benefit-cost ratio of 1.43, meaning
benefits are more than costs between 2026 and 2040. For more information, see the staff board
summary here; find the entire proposed resolution here.
Federal Legislative Updates
Although the month of August is typically reserved for the Congressional recess, this year was
marked by a broad last minute effort to sign sweeping climate, health, and tax legislation into law.
The Inflation Reduction Act was one key piece of legislation that passed in August, along with the
CHIPS and Science Act and the Honoring Our Pact Act. Additionally, the Biden Administration
announced new policy initiatives to mitigate student loan debts for low- and middle-income
borrowers, protect the DACA program, and address a regional megadrought in the west. Below
is an overview of federal legislative updates that occurred during the month of August.
President Biden Signs Inflation Reduction Act
Following months of negotiations on the Inflation Reduction Act (H.R. 5376) in Congress,
President Biden signed the legislation into law on August 16. The President’s signing of the bill
comes after the Senate voted 51-50 and the House voted 220-207 to pass the legislation. The
$750 billion legislation will address health care, tax, and energy reforms and marks a major victory
for the Administration ahead of the November midterm elections.
Following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, Congress officially entered its August
recess. The Senate is scheduled to return to Washington, DC on September 6, while the House
is set to reconvene on September 13.
Update on FY23 Appropriations
Although Congress is in its recess this month, work on the path forward on FY23 appropriations
continued throughout August. In June and July, the House and Senate Appropriations
Committees released the text of their FY23 appropriations bills. Eight of the twelve annual
spending bills passed the House in July, but none have passed the Senate. Due to the slim
Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, Congress will need to strike a bipartisan
compromise on FY23 appropriations in order to overcome a Republican filibuster in the Senate.
The House and Senate bills that have been released are Democratic, partisan bills, with little to
no Republican input. Because there is no bipartisan agreement, Congress will take up a
Continuing Resolution (CR) in September to fund the government at current levels beyond the
Page 10 of 51
Page 7
end of Fiscal Year 2022 on September 30. This will give the House and Senate negotiators more
time to arrive at a compromise. The earliest a compromise will emerge is likely in December.
Capitol Hill sources suggest that the House of Representatives will consider a CR when they
return to Washington during the week of September 12. We are told to anticipate this CR lasting
until December 16, 2022.
EPA Proposes Designating Certain PFAS Chemicals as Hazardous Substances
On August 26, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to designate two of the most
widely used per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as hazardous substances under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The
rulemaking aims to increase transparency around releases of these harmful chemicals and help
to hold polluters accountable for cleaning up their contamination.
The proposal applies to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)
and is based on significant evidence that PFOA and PFOS may present a substantial danger to
human health and the environment. PFOA and PFOS can accumulate and persist in the human
body for long periods of time and exposure can potentially lead to deadly illnesses, including
cancer.
If this designation is finalized, releases of PFOA and PFOS that meet or exceed the reportable
quantity would have to be reported to the National Response Center, state or Tribal emergency
response commissions, and the local or Tribal emergency planning committees. Additionally,
under the rule, polluters would be made to pay in certain circumstances by allowing the EPA to
seek to recover cleanup costs. Federal entities that transfer or sell their property will be required
to provide a notice about the storage, release, or disposal of PFOA or PFOS on the property and
a covenant ensuring the contamination has been cleaned up, as well.
EPA will be publishing the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register in the next
several weeks. Upon publication, EPA welcomes comment for a 60-day comment period.
Biden Administration Calls for Colorado River Basin Conservation
On August 16, the Biden Administration called for the seven states in the Colorado River Basin –
California, Arizona, and Nevada in the Lower Basin, and Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and
Wyoming in the Upper Basin – to conserve up to 4.2 million-acre feet of water from the river
annually through 2026 to ensure enough can serve the region amid a megadrought. Earlier in
June, the Bureau of Reclamation asked the states to come up with a long-term plan by mid-august
to cut water; however, the states are at an impasse. With tensions running high between states
in the Upper and Lower Basins, the need to cut to water is so urgent t here is likely not enough
time to wait for a legal dispute to play out. If the dispute sparks litigation, it’s likely to originate at
the Supreme Court—the typical venue for interstate water conflicts—and take years or even
decades to resolve.
The Colorado River provides water for 40 million people from Denver to Los Angeles, but the
region is 23 years into a megadrought, radically reducing river flows and drying up the largest
reservoirs in the Country. The basin’s two reservoirs, lakes Mead and Powell, are at a combined
28% of capacity. The Bureau is pushing states to come to a consensus on conservation.

President Biden Signs Executive Order to Implement CHIPS and Science Act
On August 25, President Biden signed an Executive Order (EO) to implement the semiconductor
funding in the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 (H.R. 4346). The CHIPS+ Act
establishes over $52 billion to bolster the U.S. semiconductor industry and increase U.S. industry
competitiveness. To coordinate effective implementation of the legislation across the
Administration, the EO establishes an interagency CHIPS Implementation Steering Council. The
Steering Council will be co-chaired by National Economic Director Brian Deese, National Security
Advisor Jake Sullivan, and the Acting Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy,
Alondra Nelson.
The Administration has established six primary priorities to guide CHIPS+ implementation across
the federal government. These include:
• Protect taxpayer dollars through a rigorous review of applications, as well as with clear
compliance and accountability requirements.
• Meet economic and national security needs by building domestic capacity that reduces
U.S. reliance on foreign semiconductor production while simultaneously increasing U.S.
economic productivity and competitiveness.
• Ensure long-term leadership in the semiconductor sector through a collaborative network
for research and innovation.
• Strengthen and expand regional manufacturing and innovation clusters to bolster
investments across the supply chain.
• Catalyze private sector engagement to maximize large-scale private investment in
production, technologies, and workers in the industry. The CHIPS+ program will ideally
respond to market signals, fill market gaps, and reduce investment risk to private entities.
• Generate benefits for a broad range of stakeholders and communities, especially startups,
workers, socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, universities, and local
economies.
In addition to the EO, the Department of Commerce has launched CHIPS.gov to provide an
essential channel through which the public can learn about CHIPS Program initiatives.

Summary: Current law requires, no later than July 1, 2023, the Natural Resources Agency, in
coordination with the State Air Resources Board, the California Environmental Protection Agency, the
Department of Food and Agriculture, and other relevant state agencies, to establish the Natural and
Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy and, in developing the strategy, to create a framework to
advance the state’s climate goals. Current law requires the state board, as part of its scoping plan, to
establish specified carbon dioxide removal targets for 2030 and beyond. This bill would require the
Natural Resources Agency, in collaboration with specified entities including the state board and the
expert advisory committee as specified, to determine on or before January 1, 2024, an ambitious range
of targets for natural carbon sequestration, and for nature-based climate solutions, that reduce
greenhouse gas emissions for 2030, 2038, and 2045 to support state goals to achieve carbon
neutrality and foster climate adaptation and resilience. The bill would require these targets to be
integrated into the above-described scoping plan and other state policies. The bill would require the
Natural Resources Agency, in consultation with specified agencies including the state board, to review
and update the Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy to achieve these targets. The bill
would require the Natural Resources Agency and the state board to jointly establish an expert
advisory committee to inform and review modeling and analyses for natural and working lands, to
advise state agencies on implementation strategies and standardized accounting, and to provide
recommendations on addressing barriers to efficient implementation of the provisions of the bill. The

Summary: Under current law, the State Water Resources Control Board administers a water rights
program pursuant to which the board grants permits and licenses to appropriate water. Current law
authorizes a permittee or licensee to temporarily change the point of diversion, place of use, or
purpose of use due to a transfer or exchange of water or water rights if the transfer would only
involve the amount of water that would have been consumptively used or stored by the permittee or
licensee in the absence of the proposed temporary change, would not injure any legal user of the
water, and would not unreasonably affect fish, wildlife, or other instream beneficial uses.This bill would
revise and recast the provisions regulating temporary changes due to a transfer or exchange of water
rights, including, among other revisions, specifying that those provisions apply to a person who
proposes a temporary change for purposes of preserving or enhancing wetlands habitat, fish and
wildlife resources, or recreation. The bill would eliminate the requirement that a petitioner publish

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive,
long-term general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its
boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. Current law requires
that the housing element include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable and available for
residential development. If the inventory of sites does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the
need for groups of all households pursuant to specified law, existing law requires the local government
to rezone sites within specified time periods and that this rezoning accommodate 100% of the need
for housing for very low and low-income households on sites that will be zoned to permit owner-
occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right for specified developments. This bill, the Middle
Class Housing Act of 2022, would deem a housing development project, as defined, an allowable use
on a parcel that is within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, if
specified conditions are met, including requirements relating to density, public notice, comment,
hearing, or other procedures, site location and size, consistency with sustainable community strategy
or alternative plans, prevailing wage, and a skilled and trained workforce.

the level of statewide disposal of organic waste from the 2014 level by 2025. Current law requires the
Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, in consultation with the State Air Resources Board,
to adopt regulations to achieve the organic waste reduction goals established by the state board for
2020 and 2025, as provided. Current law requires the department, no later than July 1, 2020, and in
consultation with the state board, to analyze the progress that the waste sector, state government,
and local governments have made in achieving these organic waste reduction goals. Current law
authorizes the department, if it determines that significant progress has not been made toward
achieving the organic waste reduction goals established by the state board, to include incentives or
additional requirements in its regulations to facilitate progress towards achieving the goals. This bill
would require the department, in consultation with the state board, to assist local jurisdictions in

loans, from the fund to a project for a water system that serves a severely disadvantaged community.
Current law requires the interest rate for repayable financing provided from the fund to be 0% if the
financing is for a public water system that serves a disadvantaged community with a financial hardship
or if the financing is for a public water system that provides matching funds. This bill would delete
those provisions relating to 0% financing and interest and would instead generally authorize the
board, to the extent authorized by federal law, to provide reduced or 0% financing to further the
purposes of the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Law of 1997. The bill would delete the
requirement that a water system serve a severely disadvantaged community in order to be provided
with up to 100% grant funding or principal forgiveness and instead authorize providing that grant
funding or principal forgiveness to certain other water systems. By making moneys in the Safe Drinking
Water State Revolving Fund, a continuously appropriated fund, available for new purposes, the bill

SUBJECT: Reauthorizing Continuation of Virtual/Teleconference Board Meetings
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors reauthorize the continuation of virtual/teleconference meetings pursuant
to AB 361 for an additional 30 days based on the findings that (1) the Board has reconsidered the
circumstances of the state of emergency for COVID-19, and (2) state and local officials continue to
impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing.
BACKGROUND:
At the October 21, 2021 Board meeting, pursuant to AB 361, the Board of Directors adopted
Resolution No. 2021-40 and authorized the Board to continue to have remote meetings based on the
continued state of emergency for COVID-19 and the finding that state and local officials have
imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing. At the past several meetings,
including the July 12, 2022 meeting, the Board voted to continue such remote meetings for an
additional 30-day period. As previously indicated, if the Board wishes to continue to hold remote
meetings pursuant to AB 361, and assuming a state of emergency is still in place, it must make
similar findings at least every 30 days.
At the time this report was prepared, there is a continued state of emergency for COVID-19, and state
and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing. This item is on the
agenda for the Board to consider whether to continue remote meetings pursuant to AB 361 for an
additional 30 days and to make the appropriate findings.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: September 13, 2022
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Mark Toy, General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS: Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Cash and Investment Report for the Period Ending July 30, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Cash and Investment Report for the Period Ending
July 31, 2022.
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 & Investment Portfolio Report
presents the market value and percent yield for all District investments by institution. The Cash &
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 seven
years. The average portfolio yield for the month ending July 31, 2022, is 0.64%.
The District's Total Cash and Investment balance as of July 31, 2022, resulted in an overall increase
from that of June 30, 2022, by approximately $23.5 million. This is predominantly due to the
establishment of the Acquisition Fund with US Bank as a result of the District completing a Debt
Issuance (Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A) of approximately $35 million to refinance the Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 2012A and to fund scheduled Capital Improvement Projects for the water
system. The Water Operating Reserve had a large balance change of approximately $3 million
predominantly due to payments to OCWD of $3.4 million for the District’s bi-annual Replenishment
Assessment payment. The Water Capital Reserve also had a large balance change of approximately
$2.1 million due to payments for capital-related obligations.

budgeted and actual expenditures for the next six months.

SUBJECT: General Manager's Report
A brief update on District activities and matters of interest as of September 6, 2022.
General Manager
1. I had a great first week at the District. I appreciated the attendance of the Board of Directors
as I was introduced to the YLWD team on my first day on the job. I have initiated my “deep
dives” into each of the departments in order to increase my understanding of District
operations. In the coming weeks, I will meet with key partners and stakeholders at the local
level. Key engagements include: (1) the Yorba Linda City Council meeting, (2) MWDOC Board
meeting, (3) OCWD Board meeting, and (4) meeting with Representative Young Kim. Key
leaders from the District will join more than 400 business professionals, elected officials,
academics, and water leaders on September 16, 2022, at the upcoming Orange County Water
Summit in Anaheim. The theme of the summit is, “California Dreamin' - Making Water
Infrastructure a Reality.” We bid farewell to one of our valuable teammates, Jeniece N., as she
departs after almost two years at the District – we wish her well!
Operations
2. On August 18, 2022, the collections crew performed a sewer line repair and installed a patch
kit to a 10-inch wastewater line in the area of Savi Ranch Road and Old Canal Road.

3. On August 9, 2022, staff responded to a water main break on Camino de Bryant. There was
minimal damage to the roadway and no damage to any private property. The break was in a
section of 8-inch wrapped ductile iron pipe installed in 1989. YLWD had been experiencing
numerous premature failures in this type of pipe throughout the area where this break
occurred. The 2018 Asset Management Plan identified the remaining useful life of this pipe to
be in the range of 5-10 years from then. There are approximately 11 miles of wrapped ductile
iron pipe throughout the YLWD distribution system. In addition to having a very short
remaining useful life, both the likelihood of failure and the consequence of failure are in the
medium-high to high-risk levels. Engineering is monitoring this situation and will report back in
the future with a plan to address the issue.
4. Preliminary numbers for August indicate we produced 1,645 AF of groundwater through the
PFAS Treatment Plant which is approximately 81% of the District's demand.
5. Our effort to improve water pressure for residents in the Via Madera/Via Ceresa/Via
Arboleda/Buena Vista/Lakeview neighborhood is getting closer to the finish line. All 32
property owners have now signed the agreement and 22 out of 32 have installed the required
pressure regulators. As soon as the final 10 are installed, we will schedule inspections and
prepare to move the neighborhood from Pressure Zone 1 to Pressure Zone 2. Staff will
provide further updates as the project progresses.
Engineering
6. The Timber Ridge Booster Pump Station Rehabilitation pre-bid conference was held on
August 30, 2022, and bids are due on September 20, 2022. Staff is looking forward to getting
this critical project underway.
7. Engineering staff met with Fish and Wildlife to discuss installation of the proposed helicopter
hydrant on District property where there is currently a covenant to protect coastal sage and
Page 48 of 51
wildlife in place. Staff is working with them to find a mutually agreeable solution that will allow
the District to construct a final helicopter hydrant to protect the community as well as the
natural resources of the hillside areas.
Finance
8. The year-end audit of the District’s annual financial statements/position is progressing well.
The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is scheduled for presentation to the Board of
Directors at the October 17, 2022 scheduled meeting.
9. Staff will be submitting the FY22-23 Annual Operating Budget to the Government Finance
Officers Association (GFOA) for consideration of its Distinguished Budget Presentation Award.
Human Resources/Risk Manager
10. Nothing significant to report (NSTR).
Public Affairs
11. Public Affairs is working with teams across the District to plan an open house that showcases
our amazing team. The open house is scheduled Saturday, October 22, 2022, from 9:00 a.m.
to 12:00 p.m. This will be a free, family-friendly event that is open to the public.
Staff is available to answer any questions you may have regarding the foregoing.
