Staff explained that the purpose of this workshop was for the Board to
establish goals and objectives to serve as guidelines for development of the
draft operating budget and capital improvement plan for FY23-24. Staff then
reviewed the proposed budget development calendar, 2021 rate study
assumptions and proposed annual rate adjustments, impact of inflationary
pressures on the cost of supplies and materials, annual debt service
obligations, key factors that may impact development of the budget, and
deadlines for adopting the budget and providing notice to customers of any
proposed rate adjustments. No modifications were made to the budget
development calendar although President Barbre noted he may have a
conflict on April 20, 2023.
Discussion touched on the District's rate study assumptions versus staff's
projected assumptions for variable and fixed water supply costs and the cap
on pass-thru adjustments (10% of the commodity rate). Staff noted that since
posting of the agenda, the projected assumption for YLWD's Replenishment
Assessment (RA) to OCWD had changed from $587 to $624/acre-foot.
Director Miller requested staff include projected assumptions in total dollar
amounts as related to the budget rather than rates and percentages. Staff
indicated that projected amounts would be included in each portion of the
draft FY23-24 budget being presented at future workshops.
Discussion continued regarding difficulties with developing projection
assumptions due to inflation and increased costs for supplies and materials,
projected assumptions for the District's debt service obligations, and YLWD's
debt-to-equity ratio. Also discussed were key factors that may impact
development of the budget including updating the Water Master Plan,
completion of the compensation study, labor negotiations with the
bargaining unit, and updating the rate study water fund financial model.
Status of the compensation study and selected comparator agencies, and
the potential need for conducting a Proposition 218 hearing to consider an
updated rate schedule were then discussed. Staff recommended that to
ensure the District's cost of service is met, the Board consider following the
adopted schedule for proposed rate adjustments in FY23-24.
Al Nederhood, resident, commented on his personal evaluation of
projections contained within the District's historic budgets, financial
statements, and rate studies.
Additional discussion followed regarding eligible pass-thru expenses, key
factors to be considered for updating the rate study, the timing of finalizing
a new agreement with the bargaining unit in relation to conducting a
Proposition 218 hearing, status of special invoice distribution for collection of
capital finance charges, and future capital improvement projects.

improvements to District infrastructure and expanding public outreach
activities including written communications and infrastructure tours. General
Manager Toy noted that staff would be providing a presentation to the Board
at a future meeting regarding the communications plan and efforts to
enhance community partnerships.

4.0 ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SUPERVISORS AND
SUBORDINATES
Romantic or sexual relationships between supervisors and subordinate employees govered
individuals are prohibited, regardless of whether any particular subordinate covered
individual is "directly" or otherwise actually being supervised by a particular covered
individuals perser�-designated as a "supervisor." There is an inherent imbalance of power
and potential for exploitation in such relationships. The relationship may create an
appearance of impropriety and lead to charges of favoritism by other covered
individualsempleyees. A welcomed sexual relationship may change, with the result that
sexual conduct that was once welcome becomes unwelcome and harassing.
Such relationships among non -supervisory covered individuals em^'�yees-are discouraged.
The involved covered individuals en4p eyees shall be aware that such relationships may
deteriorate and result in alleged violations of these types of rules. The allowance of such
relationships shall not prevent the imposition of discipline for violation of this policy.
A. A supervisor covered individual shall not recommend advancement, contribute to a
performance rating or take part in decisions regarding the assignment of another
covered individuals ernpleyee-with whom s/he has in the past had a romantic or
sexual relationship.
B. overed individuals Employees -who have a romantic or sexual relationship may not
work within the same department.
C. Any proscribed/discouraged relationships existing prior to implementation of this rule,
shall be assessed for compliance with the policy and shall be subject to corrective
action in accord with this policy.
5.0 GUIDELINES FOR IDENTIFYING HARASSMENT
To help clarify conduct which constitutes harassment in violation of this Policy, the following
guidelines should be used.
A. Harassment includes any conduct which would be "unwelcome" to a reasonable
individual and the recipient, and which is taken because of a protected classification.
B. Harassment may include conduct to which the recipient covered individual
outwardly appear to consent. his no The District does not recognize as a defense
that the recipient covered individual appears to have voluntarily "consented" to the
conduct at issue by failing to protest about the conduct. A recipient covered individual
may not protest for many legitimate reasons, including itea to, the
N..,— need to avoid being insubordinate or to avoid being ostracized or fear �
being subjected to retaliation.
Harassment/Discrimination/Retaliation Prevention 5
Page 33 of 209
7010-005
C. Harassment may include conduct about which no covered individuals omp§
previously complained. fir The fact that no covered individual �mee
Dreviously comDlained about the same or substantially similar conduct he^'pccause no
does not mean that the conduct is welcomed. Harassment can evolve over time.
Small, isolated incidents might be tolerated up to a point. The fact that no one has
yet complained does not preclude someone from complaining if the conduct is
repeated in the future.
D. Harassment may include conduct witnessed by a third Dartv or about which a third
party learns, even if they did not witness such conduct. €4e-R-Wisual, verbal, or
physical conduct between two covered individualsTeeple-who do not find such
conduct to be offensive or inappropriate may constitute harassment if a third party
witnesses such conduct later and finds the conduct to be offensive or inappropriate.

harassment even if it is not explicitly or specifically directed at any particular covered
individual.

of this Doli^ even +when the covered individual engaging in the conduct has no
ci ihiArti�iA intent to harass. Even well-intentioned conduct can violate this Policy if
the conduct is directed at, or implicates a protected classification, and if a reasonable
covered individual of the recipient's same protected classification would find it
offensive (e.g., hugs, gifts, over attention, endearing nicknames). Intent to harass is
irrelevant to determining whether this Policy has been violated.

1.0 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this Policy is to provide all employees, applicants, elected or appointed
officials, interns, volunteers and contractors with an environment that is free from any
form of harassment, discrimination and retaliation as defined in this Policy. This Policy
establishes a complaint procedure by which the District will investigate and resolve
complaints of discrimination, harassment and retaliation by and against District covered
individuals. The District encourages all covered individuals to report any conduct that
they believe violates this Policy as soon as possible.
2.0 Scope of Policy
2.1 The District has zero tolerance for any conduct that violates this Policy. Conduct need
not rise to the level of a violation of federal or state law in order to violate this Policy.
Instead, a single act can violate this Policy and provide grounds for discipline or other
appropriate sanctions up to and potentially including termination of employment. If you
are in doubt as to whether any particular conduct may violate this Policy, do not engage
in the conduct and seek guidance from a supervisor, management, the Human
Resources/Risk Manager, or the General Manager.
2.2 This Policy covers the following individuals ("covered individuals"): applicants for
employment at the District; employees, regardless of rank or title; elected or appointed
officials of the District; interns; volunteers; District Counsel; and contractors.
2.3 This Policy prohibits harassment and/or discrimination based on the following: (1) a
covered individual's protected classification; (2) the perception that a covered
individual has a protected classification; or (3) a covered individual associates with a
person who has or is perceived to have a protected classification. This Policy also
prohibits retaliation because of a covered individual's protected activity.
2.4 This Policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, internships and volunteer
opportunities, including but not limited to selection, hiring, placement, promotion,
disciplinary action, layoff, recall, transfer, leave of absence, training opportunities and
compensation.
2.5 It is District policy to provide a procedure for the fair, complete, and timely investigation
of alleged harassment, discrimination and retaliation prohibited under this Policy.
2.6 Although workplace civility is essential to an efficient and healthy working environment,
the District recognizes that a variety of good faith employment actions may nonetheless
be viewed negatively by an employee who is subject to the action. This policy does not
prohibit or impede supervisors from engaging in taking good faith employment actions.

3.0 Definitions

protected classification, actual or perceived; or because the covered individual

3.3 Harassment - This Policy prohibits harassment of a covered individual because of the
covered individual's actual or perceived protected classification. Harassment means
unwelcome or unwanted words or conduct based on a protected classification that
subjectively and objectively offends a covered individual. Harassment includes, but is not
limited to, the following examples of behavior undertaken because of a protected
classification:
3.3.1 Verbal harassment, such as epithets (nicknames and slang terms), stereotypical
comments, derogatory or suggestive comments, propositioning, jokes or slurs,
including graphic verbal comments about a covered individual's body or that
identify a covered individual on the basis of their protected classification. Verbal
harassment includes comments on appearance and stories that tend to
disparage those of a protected classification. This may include, but is not limited
to, inappropriate comments regarding a covered individual's body, physical
appearance, attire, sexual prowess, marital status, pregnancy or sexual
orientation; unwelcome flirting or propositions; demands for sexual favors; verbal
abuse, threats or intimidation of a sexual nature; or sexist, patronizing or ridiculing
statements that convey derogatory attitudes about a particular gender.
3.3.2 Visual forms of harassment, such as the display or circulation of offensive or
derogatory visual or written material related to a covered individual's protected
classification. This may include, but is not limited to, posters, notices, bulletins,
cartoons, pictures, drawings, sexually suggestive objects or e-mails related to a
protected classification.
3.3.3 Physical harassment, such as assault, unwelcome touching, impeding or blocking
movement, patting, leering, making express or implied job-related threats in return
for submission to physical acts, mimicking, taunting or any physical interference
with normal work or movement. This may include, but is not limited to, kissing,
patting, lingering or intimate touches, grabbing, massaging, pinching, leering,

3.3.4 Sexual harassment, such as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual
favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature or any of the above
described conduct when:
3.3.4.1 Submission to such conduct is either an expressed or implied term or
condition of a covered individual's employment, or
3.3.4.2 Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for
employment decisions affecting such covered individual, or
3.3.4.3 Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with
a covered individual's work performance or creating a hostile,
intimidating or offensive work environment.
3.3.4.4 By definition, sexual harassment is not within the course and scope of a
covered individual's employment with the District.
3.4 Protected Activity - includes, but is not to be limited to, the following activity: (a) making
a request for an accommodation for a disability; (b) making a request for
accommodation for religious beliefs; (c) making a complaint under this Policy; (d)
opposing violations of this Policy; or (e) participating in any investigation or procedures
undertaken pursuant to this Policy.
3.5 Romantic or Sexual Relationship - exists when two District employees become personally
involved with each other to the point that includes any of the following: dating,
exchange of personal affection, emotional attachment, sexual or physical intimacy,
marriage, domestic partnership and/or cohabitation.
3.6 Dating - includes but is not limited to one or more social meetings under circumstances
that may lead to exchange of personal affection, emotional attachment and sexual or
physical intimacy.
3.7 Cohabitation - applies to those employees living together and sharing room and board,
sharing children or sharing financial and recreational activities together.
3.8 Supervisor - means any District employee who has the discretion and authority, in the
interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge,
assign, reward, discipline, or direct other employees in the performance of District work.
The definition "Supervisor" includes those who periodically serve as acting supervisors.
4.0 Romantic and Sexual Relationships Between Supervisors and Subordinates
4.1 Romantic or sexual relationships between supervisors and subordinate covered
individuals are prohibited, regardless of whether any particular subordinate covered
individual is "directly" or otherwise actually being supervised by a particular covered
individuals designated as a "supervisor." There is an inherent imbalance of power and
potential for exploitation in such relationships. The relationship may create an
appearance of impropriety and lead to charges of favoritism by other covered
individuals. A welcomed sexual relationship may change, with the result that sexual
conduct that was once welcome becomes unwelcome and harassing.
Page 3 of 12
Page 49 of 209
YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
7010-005-POL
4.2 Such relationships among non -supervisory covered individuals are discouraged. The
involved covered individuals shall be aware that such relationships may deteriorate and
result in alleged violations of these types of rules. The allowance of such relationships shall
not prevent the imposition of discipline for violation of this policy.
4.2.1 A supervisor covered individual shall not recommend advancement, contribute
to a performance rating or take part in decisions regarding the assignment of
another covered individuals with whom s/he has in the past had a romantic or
sexual relationship.
4.2.2 Covered individuals who have a romantic or sexual relationship may not work
within the same department.
4.2.3 Any proscribed/discouraged relationships existing prior to implementation of this
rule, shall be assessed for compliance with the policy and shall be subject to
corrective action in accord with this policy.
5.0 Guidelines for Identifying Harassment
5.1 To help clarify conduct which constitutes harassment in violation of this Policy, the
following guidelines should be used.
5.1.1 Harassment includes any conduct which would be "unwelcome" to a reasonable
individual and the recipient, and which is taken because of a protected
classification.
5.1.2 Harassment may include conduct to which the recipient covered individual may
outwardly appear to consent. The District does not recognize as a defense that
the recipient covered individual appears to have voluntarily "consented" to the
conduct at issue by failing to protest about the conduct. A recipient covered
individual may not protest for many legitimate reasons, including, but not limited
to, the perceived need to avoid being insubordinate or to avoid being ostracized
or fear of being subjected to retaliation.
5.1.3 Harassment may include conduct about which no covered individuals previously
complained. The fact that no covered individual previously complained about
the same or substantially similar conduct does not mean that the conduct is
welcomed. Harassment can evolve over time. Small, isolated incidents might be
tolerated up to a point. The fact that no one has yet complained does not
preclude someone from complaining if the conduct is repeated in the future.
5.1.4 Harassment may include conduct witnessed by a third party or about which a
third party learns, even if they did not witness such conduct. Visual, verbal, or
physical conduct between two covered individuals who do not find such conduct
to be offensive or inappropriate may constitute harassment if a third party
witnesses such conduct later and finds the conduct to be offensive or
inappropriate. Conduct can constitute harassment even if it is not explicitly or
specifically directed at any particular covered individual.
5.1.5 Conduct may be deemed harassment even when the covered individual
engaging in the conduct has no subjective intent to harass. Even well-intentioned
conduct can violate this Policy if the conduct is directed at, or implicates a
protected classification, and if a reasonable covered individual of the recipient's

6.0 Retaliation
7010-005-POL
same protected classification would find it offensive (e.g., hugs, gifts, over
attention, endearing nicknames). Intent to harass is irrelevant to determining
whether this Policy has been violated.
6.1 Retaliation occurs when adverse action is taken against a covered individual because
of the covered individual's protected activity as defined by this Policy.
6.2 Any act of retaliation violates this Policy and will result in appropriate disciplinary action
up to and potentially including termination of employment.
6.3 Adverse action - may include, but is not limited to, the following actions:
6.3.1 disciplinary action;
6.3.2 counseling;
6.3.3 singling a person out for harsher treatment;
6.3.4 lowering a performance evaluation;
6.3.5 failing to hire;
6.3.6 failing to promote;
6.3.7 withholding pay increases;
6.3.8 assigning more onerous work;
6.3.9 abolishing a position;
6.3.10 demotion or discharge;
6.3.11 making real or implied threats of intimidation to prevent a complainant from
reporting harassment or discrimination;
6.3.12 the subject/witness to an investigation divulges investigation reports/witness
statements/findings/disciplinary determinations in circumstances reasonably
foreseen as causing the complainant to be subject to ridicule, ostracizing, or other
adverse conduct;
6.3.13 taking sides because a complainant has reported harassment or discrimination;
6.3.14 spreading rumors about a complainant or about someone who supports or assists
the complainant; or
6.3.15 shunning and avoiding a complainant who reports harassment or discrimination;
6.3.16 any other actions that may be construed as retaliation by the Human Resources
and Risk Manager, General Manager, and/or District Counsel.

YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
7010-005-POL
6.4 Well-intentioned attempts to insulate or protect a complainant by changing the
complainant's work environment or schedule or duties or by transferring the complainant
to another department may be retaliatory. Before a supervisor takes such action, the
supervisor should contact the Human Resources and Risk Manager and the General
Manager to determine the consistency of such action with this Policy.
6.5 Any act of retaliation will be treated as separate and distinct from the underlying
complaint of a Policy violation, regardless of the outcome of the harassment or
discrimination complaint.
7.0 Reporting Harassment, Discrimination, or Retaliation
7.1 A covered individual who believes they have been subject to discrimination, harassment
or retaliation, and does not want to confront the offending person, may make a
complaint, either orally or in writing, to any supervisor or manager within or outside of their
department, Department Head, Human Resources and Risk Manager or equivalent,
General Manager, or District Counsel without regard to chain of command. The covered
individual may also seek the advice, assistance or consultation of a supervisor,
department head or any management employee. Under no circumstances shall a
covered individual who believes that they have been the victim of harassment,
discrimination or retaliation be required to first report that conduct to a supervisor or other
authority figure if that person or authority figure is the individual who is the subject of the
complaint or has failed to remedy the conduct.
7.2 All persons shall immediately report any evidence of harassment, discrimination or
retaliation or any complaints of harassment, discrimination or retaliation made to them
to their supervisor or manager, any supervisor or manager within or outside of their
department, Department Head, Human Resources and Risk Manager or equivalent, the
General Manager, or District Counsel.
7.3 Right to Report to Outside Administrative Agencies: Covered individuals have the right to
report harassment, discrimination or retaliation to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) or the California Department of Civil Rights. These administrative
agencies offer certain legal remedies and a complaint process. The nearest offices are
listed on the Internet, in the government section of the phone book or employees can
check the posters located at the District for office locations and telephone numbers.
8.0 District's Response to Complaint, Report of Harassment, Discrimination, or Retaliation
8.1 Any supervisor, manager, or Department Head who receives a complaint/report
regarding harassment, discrimination or retaliation shall immediately report it to the
Human Resources and Risk Manager or designee and General Manager. Any supervisory
or management employee who receives such a report must in turn direct it to the Human
Resources and Risk Manager and General Manager. The Human Resources and Risk
Manager, in consultation with the General Manager, will determine what level of
investigation and response is necessary.
8.2 Investigation - Upon receipt of a complaint/report of alleged harassment, discrimination
or retaliation, the Human Resources and Risk Manager, in consultation with the General
Manager, will determine what level of investigation and response is necessary and will
be responsible for coordinating a thorough investigation (unless they are named in the
complaint.) If the complaint/report is against the Human Resources and Risk Manager,
Page 6 of 12
Page 52 of 209
YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
7010-005-POL
the complaint/report will be processed by the General Manager. If the General Manager
is the subject of a complaint by or against the Human Resources and Risk Manager, then
(i) District Counsel will implement this Policy in consultation with the Board of Directors and
(ii) an outside investigator will be hired, as appropriate, to investigate the complaint.
8.2.1 The Human Resources and Risk Manager or General Manager, as the case may
be, may coordinate the investigation with the complainant's Department Head
and may hire an outside investigator if the District deems it appropriate to do so.
The type of investigation undertaken and the party chosen to conduct the
investigation will depend on the nature of the complaint made and will be
determined by the Human Resources and Risk Manager or General Manager. The
investigation shall be conducted in a way that ensures, to the extent feasible, the
privacy of the parties involved.
8.2.2 The investigator shall immediately report in writing the results of any investigation
to the Human Resources and Risk Manager or designee, the General Manager,
and the complainant. The District will not disclose an investigation report except
as it deems necessary to support a disciplinary action, to take remedial action, to
defend itself in adversarial proceedings, or to comply with the law or a court order.
8.2.3 The Human Resources and Risk Manager, in concurrence with the General
Manager, may take interim action to diffuse volatile circumstances, such as
placing the alleged perpetrator on paid administrative leave or temporarily
transferring the alleged perpetrator. Unless the particular facts reasonably require,
no interim action should generally be taken to change the complaining
individual's working conditions unless the complaining individual voluntarily
consents to the temporary change.
8.2.4 The investigation will typically include interviews with the reporting covered
individual, the accused, and any other person who is believed to have relevant
knowledge concerning the allegations. The investigator will ask all witnesses to not
discuss the investigation/interview with any individuals/employees, and that
retaliation against those who report alleged harassment or who participate in the
investigation is prohibited.
8.2.5 The District takes a proactive approach to potential Policy violations and will
conduct an investigation if its officers, supervisors or managers become aware
that harassment, discrimination or retaliation may be occurring, regardless of
whether the recipient of the alleged action or a third party reports a potential
violation.
8.3 Remedial and Disciplinary Action - If the investigation determines that the alleged
conduct occurred and that the conduct violated this Policy, the District will take effective
remedial action that is designed to end any violation(s) of policy.
8.3.1 A covered individual determined to have violated this Policy will be subject to
disciplinary action up to and including termination.
8.3.2 Disciplinary action may also be taken against any official, supervisor or manager
who condones or ignores potential violations of this Policy, or who otherwise fails
to take appropriate action to enforce this Policy. Any official or contractor found
to have violated this Policy will be subject to appropriate sanctions.

Page 53 of 209
YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
7010-005-POL
8.3.3 The District will take reasonable steps to protect the reporting party/complainant
from further harassment, discrimination or retaliation.
8.4 Closure - At the conclusion of the investigation, the Human Resources and Risk Manager
will notify the appropriate persons of the disposition of the investigation.
8.5 If the Human Resources and Risk Manager and/or General Manager is accused of
prohibited conduct under this Policy, or is the complainant or witness to the events at
issue, the District Counsel, in consultation with the Board of Directors, may complete
and/or delegate the above enumerated steps.
9.0 Confidentiality
9.1 The District will make every effort to assure the confidentiality of complaints made under
this Policy to the greatest extent allowed by law. However, complete confidentiality may
not be possible because of the District's need to investigate the complaint and provide
the subject of the complaint their due process rights, if any.
9.2 The District expressly prohibits an employee who is interviewed during the course of the
investigation from attempting to influence other employees, including employees who
may have witnessed the underlying conduct at issue, while the investigation is open and
ongoing.
9.3 An employee may discuss their interview with a designated representative from the
employee's employee organization and/or the employee's legal representative.
10.0 Responsibilities
10.1 Employees - To establish and maintain a professional working environment, while at the
same time preventing harassment, discrimination and retaliation, employees are
required to:
10.1.1 Set an example of acceptable conduct by not participating in or provoking
behavior that violates this Policy. Respond constructively if an individual tells you
that your behavior is offensive. People have different ethical values and standards
and may be offended by behavior you think is proper. Where the complaint
addresses conduct which, if actually occurring, would violate this Policy, tell the
individual you did not realize your behavior was offensive and immediately cease
the conduct.
10.1.2 Let fellow employees know when you consider behavior offensive. The District hires
people from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and an individual
may not realize behavior he or she thinks is proper could be seen by others as
offensive.
10.1.3 Model behavior that conforms to this Policy.
10.1.4 Treat all individuals in the workplace or on worksites with respect and
consideration.
10.1.5 Fully cooperate with the District's investigation of complaints made under this
Policy. Report any conduct that you witness that fits the definition of harassment,
discrimination or retaliation under this Policy, to the reporting
Page 8 of 12
Page 54 of 209
YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
7010-005-POL
party's/complainant's immediate supervisor or appropriate authority figures. This
includes conduct of non -employees, such as community members and
volunteers. Report to their supervisor, manager, Department Head, Human
Resources and Risk Manager or equivalent, any instances of harassment,
discrimination or retaliation directly observed, whether or not reported by the
employee who is the object of the harassment. Employees are expected to use
their best judgment to advance the purpose stated in this Policy.
10.1.6 Cooperate with any investigation of any alleged act of harassment, discrimination
or retaliation by responding fully and truthfully to all questions posed during the
investigation.
10.1.7 Take no actions to influence any potential witness while the investigation is
ongoing.
10.1.8 Participate in periodic trainings on personnel matters as directed and/or required
by law.
10.1.9 Any person who violates this Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and
including discharge, suspension, or other appropriate disciplinary measures.
10.2 Managers and Supervisors: In addition to the responsibilities listed above, managers and
supervisors are responsible for the following:
10.2.1 Inform employees of this Policy.
10.2.2 Implement this Policy by taking all complaints seriously and modeling behavior
that is consistent with this Policy. Direct all complaints to the Human Resources and
Risk Manager.
10.2.3 Take all steps necessary to eliminate any form of harassment, discrimination or
retaliation observed or brought to their attention.
10.2.4 Ensure that no department manager, supervisor or other employee retaliates
through any action of intimidation, restraint, coercion or discrimination.
10.2.5 Monitor the work environment and take appropriate action to stop potential
Policy violations.
10.2.6 Report violations of this Policy of which he or she becomes aware to the Human
Resources and Risk Manager, regardless of whether a complaint has been
submitted, in a uniformly fair and serious manner.
10.2.7 Follow up with complainants to ensure that the offensive conduct about which
they complained has stopped and that there have been no reprisals or retaliation
or threats of reprisals or retaliation.
10.2.8 Inform the complainant about their option to contact the Department of Civil
Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about filing claims of
harassment, discrimination or retaliation. The Human Resources Department shall
make available information from the Department of Civil Rights and the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission about filing claims of harassment,
discrimination or retaliation with these entities.

10.2.9 Assisting and/or advising covered individuals regarding this Policy.
10.2.10 Assisting in the investigation of complaints involving subordinate covered
individuals.
10.2.11 Maintain confidentiality to the extent possible in investigating any claims of
alleged harassment, discrimination or retaliation.
10.2.12 Where a complaint is substantiated, assisting in the development of a
recommendation concerning an appropriate corrective or disciplinary action in
accordance with this Policy.
10.2.13 Continue to monitor the workplace after any reported incident of harassment,
discrimination or retaliation to determine whether the victim has been subject to
any further prohibited conduct.
10.2.14 Participate in periodic training as directed and/or required by law and schedule
employees for training.
11.0 Dissemination of Policy
11.1 All employees and elected or appointed officials shall receive a copy of this Policy, when
they are hired, elected, or appointed. The Policy may be updated from time to time and
redistributed with a form for the employee to sign and return acknowledging that the
employee has received, read, and understands this Policy.

SUPERVISOR'S CHECKLIST
What to Do When You Receive a Report of Harassment, Discrimination, and/or Retaliation
❑ Complainant tells you about alleged harassment, discrimination, and/or retaliation.
❑ Tell complainant you are ready to listen. Turn off cell phone, shut your door, and focus full

severe; simply assure the complainant that you will follow up promptly according to the
District's policy.
❑ Take notes, read back notes to the complainant to confirm accuracy and your
comprehension.

❑ Notify Human Resources and appropriate administrator.
❑ Document date and time of report to Human Resources and appropriate administrators
consulted.
❑ Human Resources will inform complainant in writing to acknowledge receipt of complaint,

❑ Monitor the work environment.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2023
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Mark Toy, General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS: Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Budget to Actual Statements for the Month Ended January 31, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Budget to Actual Reports for the Month Ended
January 31, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
For the month ended January 31, 2023, 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 January 31, 2023, reflects
an average increase of approximately 1.6% as compared to the prior year through the same
reporting period.
Total Variable Costs results, as reported through the month ending January 31, 2023, reflect an
approximate 30% decrease when compared to prior year results for the same reporting period. With
the completion of the PFAS Treatment Plant, the decrease in costs is the direct result of the District
having returned to its traditional operating plan where a vast percentage of the water source to meet
demand on the water system comes from the groundwater basin.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G2 3B — Regularly assess net position and steps to meet strategic goals.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2023
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Mark Toy, General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS: Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
SUBJECT: Cash and Investment Reports and Graphs as of January 31, 2023
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Cash and Investment Reports for the Period Ended
January 31, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
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 seven years.
The average portfolio yield for the month ended January 31, 2023 is 2.21 %.
The District's Total Cash and Investment balance as of January 31, 2023 resulted in an overall
decrease from that of December 31, 2022 by approximately $3.29 million. A large account balance
change occurred as follows: an approximate $3.5 million net decrease in the Water Operating Fund
due to payments to OCWD for the District's Annual Annexation Charge ($668,612.44) and its bi-
annual Replenishment Assessment ($4,478,954.40).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G2 4C - Manage cash flow to maximize investment income.

RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors award the Construction Contract for the BNSF waterline Crossing at
Veterans Village and South Highland Avenue to Big Ben Engineering, Inc. for $1,510,525.50, Job No.
J-2021-36
SUMMARY:
On December 27, 2022, the District solicited bids for construction of the BNSF Waterline Crossing at
Veterans Village and South Highland Avenue. On January 31, 2023, bids were received from five
contractors. A summary of the bids is shown below.

Engineering staff evaluated the bid documents and determined that the bid from the apparent low
bidder (AID Builders, Inc.) was not responsive, and the company was not determined to be a
responsible bidder for this project. Staff then evaluated the bid from the second lowest bidder, Big
Ben Engineering Inc., and determined that the bid was responsive and the contractor was a
responsible contractor on this project. As such, Engineering staff recommend awarding the
Construction Contract for the BNSF Waterline Crossing at Veterans Village and South Highland
Avenue to Big Ben Engineering, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Page 80 of 209
Budgeted: Yes
District Contractor Bid Estimate: $1,634,850
Contractor Bid: $1,510,525.50
Job No: J-2021-36
BACKGROUND:
This project includes the installation of a new waterline that crosses the BNSF right-of-way, and the
replacement of a waterline that crosses the Orange County Flood Control District Atwood Channel
south of Veterans Way. The District's existing waterline along Lakeview Avenue is the primary water
supply for the District's service area on the south side of Orangethorpe Avenue. Under this Project,
the District will construct a second waterline that will provide water supply redundancy and will enable
the District to continue serving water to its customers within this service area if the primary water
supply pipeline along Lakeview Avenue is impacted.
On January 31, 2023, Engineering staff initiated a review of the bids from five contractors and
determined that AID Builders' List of Subcontractors and their list of Equipment/Material Source
Information were missing information for a Jack and Bore subcontractor or an equipment supplier for
Jack and Bore operations. Staff contacted AID Builders and received contradictory and unsatisfactory
responses. AID Builders was declared to be a non-responsive bidder on this project. AID Builders'
references were also found to be unsatisfactory, and AID Builders was found to be a non -responsible
bidder on this project. During the bid evaluation process, the apparent second lowest bidder (Big Ben
Engineering, Inc.) initiated a Bid Protest.
Engineering staff evaluated the bid documents from Big Ben Engineering and determined that the
company's bid was responsive. Following interviews with Big Ben Engineering's references and a
review of their performance evaluations for prior projects, staff determined that Big Ben was a
responsible bidder.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION:
On December 13, 2022, in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the
Board adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP) for this project.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G1 4B - Address infrastructure needs by updating/implementing the Capital Improvement Plan; and
G1 6B - Provide a sustainable, adequate water supply by maintaining the distribution system and its
capability to provide 100% groundwater and/or import water to the entire service area.

SUBJECT: Notice of Exemption for Mountain View Waterline Replacement Project
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consent to filing the Notice of Exemption (NOE) with the Orange County
Clerk Recorder's Office for the Mountain View Waterline Replacement project.
SUMMARY:
A Notice of Exemption (NOE) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) has been
prepared for the Mountain view Waterline Replacement Project. Engineering staff have determined that
this project is categorically exempt pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302 of the CEQA Statue and
Guidelines, since this project includes the replacement of an existing utility system. The completed
Notice of Exemption form is attached for reference.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted: N/A
Total Budget: N/A
Cost Estimate: N/A
Job No: J-2022-48
BACKGROUND:
As part of the District's continuing Rehabilitation & Replacement (R&R) Program to replace or
rehabilitate aging infrastructure, waterline improvements are planned for Mountain View Avenue. The
existing waterline is a high priority for rehabilitation and replacement due to leak history, age, pipe
diameter, and location. This project will include the replacement of approximately 1,200 feet of 10 -
inch cast iron water main originally installed in the 1930s. This project was identified in the District's
2018 Asset Management Plan.
Before the District can move forward with the construction of the water line, the District is required to
comply with CEQA requirements. CEQA requires public agencies to consider the environmental
consequences of their discretionary actions. CEQA is intended to inform government decision -
makers and the public about the potential environmental effects of proposed activities and to prevent
Page 82 of 209
significant, avoidable environmental damage. Pursuant to Section 15367 of the CEQA Statute and
Guidelines, the District is the lead agency for the proposed project. The lead agency must determine
whether the project is exempt from CEQA. Engineering staff have determined that this project is
exempt from CEQA and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared.
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES:
G1 4A & G3 2A - Address infrastructure needs by updating/implementing the Asset Management
Plan; G1 4B - Address infrastructure needs by updating/implementing the Capital Improvement Plan.

AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 2, 2023
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Mark Toy, General Manager
STAFF CONTACTS: Delia Lugo
SUBJECT: Award of Professional Services Agreement for Investment Advisory
Services
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors: (1) authorize the General Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement for Investment Advisory Services and Arbitrage Rebate Calculation Services with PFM
Asset Management LLC; and (2) adopt Resolution No. 2023 -XX Authorizing Yorba Linda Water
District to Join With Other Public Agencies as a Participant of the California Asset Management
Program (CAMP) and to Invest in Shares of the Trust and in Individual Portfolios.
SUMMARY:
Staff was tasked with securing professional treasury management and investment management
services, to safely and effectively manage available District reserve funds and available bond
proceeds for investment(s). The goal was to seek a better return than current District investments
while maintaining the District's long-standing priorities of safety, liquidity, and yield (in that order).
In response, staff coordinated efforts with Fieldman Rolapp, the District's Municipal Advisor, to
develop a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for Investment Advisory Services. On January 5, 2023, staff
issued the RFP to four independent, external investment advisory firms with a deadline of January
19, 2023, for them to submit their response. Three out of the four external firms responded and
submitted responses by the specified deadline, all of whom met the listed criteria. A Review
Committee evaluated the submitted proposals based on: experience and expertise in managing
funds for public agencies that protects principal, provides liquidity, and maximizes earnings while
complying with all applicable regulations; the thoroughness of their investment advisory approaches;
and the overall cost of their services.
The Review Committee conducted interviews with two of the responding firms. As a result, staff
recommends PFM Asset Management LLC ("PFM") to serve as the District's investment managers.
PFM will manage the District's investments as set forth below and also provide required Arbitrage
Rebate Calculation Services for all active debt issuances of the District.
PFM's investment strategies are as follows:
An active management strategy is proposed for investment of the District's available reserve
balances with the objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield with permitted investments outlined in the
Page 85 of 209
California Government Code and the District's Investment Policy. Fees for an active management
strategy are 9 basis points (0.09%) on the first $50 million is assets under management and 7 basis
points (0.07%) on assets in excess of $50 million, subject to a monthly minimum fee of $3,333.
California Asset Management Program ("CAMP") is proposed for the investment of the District's
liquid funds. CAMP is a California Joint Powers Authority in which the District will become a member.
CAMP offers two distinct options for managing short-term and liquidity options: (1) the Cash Reserve
Portfolio ("CAMP Pool"), a fully liquid, stable net asset value investment option that offers daily
liquidity, competitive returns, and unlimited transactions, and (2) CAMP Term, a fixed-rate investment
option which offers securities with maturities ranging from 60 days to one year. As of January 12,
2023, management and investment fees for CAMP Pool are 0.11 % when shareholders buy and hold
shares in the Pool; and such fees for the CAMP Term Portfolio program are 0.22% when
shareholders buy and hold shares in the program.
A one-time portfolio structuring is proposed for the investment of the District's available 2022A
bond proceeds. One-time portfolio structuring is subject to a one-time bidding agent fee of $17,500,
where all or a portion of these fees may potentially, pending District counsel's determination, be
considered a "qualified administrative cost" under IRS regulations and guidelines.
Pertinent documents providing key information are included for reference and/or discussion as they
pertain to the proposed services from PFM.
PFM Asset Management LLC staff, as well as staff from Fieldman Rolapp, will be present at the
Board meeting to respond to questions from the Board of Directors.

1.0 POLICY
1.1 It is the policy of the Yorba Linda Water District ("District") to invest public
funds in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while
meeting reasonably anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a
reasonable rate of return and conforming to all state and local statutes
governing the investment of public funds.
1.2 The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment
of funds of the District and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency
of the District's cash management. The District's goal is to enhance the
economic status of the District consistent with the prudent protection of the
District's investments. This investment policy has been prepared in
conformance with all pertinent existing laws of the State of California.
2.0 SCOPE
2.1 This Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the
District, except for the proceeds from capital project financing instruments,
which are invested in accordance with provisions of their specific documents.
These funds are accounted for as Enterprise Funds and are identified in the
District's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
3.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
3.1 The authority of the Board of Directors to invest funds is derived from Section
53601 of the California Government Code ("CGC"). Section 53607 of the
CGC grants the Board of Directors the authority to delegate that authority,
for a one-year period, to the District's Treasurer. Therefore, management
responsibility for the investment program is hereby delegated to the District's
Treasurer, who shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall
establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials
and their procedures in the absence of the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall
establish procedures for the management of investment activities, including
the activities of staff consistent with this Policy.
3.2 The Treasurer may retain the services of an outside investment advisor or
manager as approved by the Board to assist with the District's investment
program. Any investment advisor selected shall make all investment
decisions and transactions in strict accordance with State law, and this
Policy.
4.0 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
4.1 The primary objectives, in priority order, of the District's investment activities
shall be:
4.1.1 Safety: Safety and preservation of principal is the foremost
objective of the investment program. Investments shall be selected
in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the
District's overall portfolio. This will be accomplished through a
program of diversification and maturity limitations, more fully
described in Section 13, in order that potential losses on individual
3010-004 Public Funds Investment Policy
Page 2 of 14
Page 96 of 209
securities do not exceed the income generated from the remainder
of the portfolio.
4.1.2 Liquidity: The District's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently
liquid to enable the District to meet all operating requirements which
might be reasonably anticipated. Securities should mature
concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands.
4.1.3 Return on Investments: The District's investment portfolio shall
be designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns
on investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints
and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary
importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives.
5.0 PRUDENCE
5.1 The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall
be the "prudent investor" standard and shall be applied in the context of
managing the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent
investor is explained in CGC Section 53600.3, which states that "when
investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or
managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and
diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited
to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency,
that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those
matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like
aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the
agency."
5.2 The Treasurer and delegated investment officers, acting in accordance with
District procedures and the Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be
relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or
market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in
a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse
developments.
5.3 Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances
then prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for
investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the
probable income to be derived.
6.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the
investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial
investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to
the District's General Manager any material financial interests in financial
institutions that conduct business with the District's boundaries, and they
shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that
could be related to the performance of the District.

7.0 AUTHORIZED BROKER/DEALERS
7.1 The Treasurer will maintain a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial
institutions that are approved for investment purposes. Broker/dealers will

investment services in the State of California. These may include "primary"
dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange
Commission Rule 15(C)3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit will
be made by the broker/dealer except in a qualified public depository as

provided to.
7.2 If a third party investment advisor is authorized to conduct investment
transactions on the District's behalf, the investment advisor may use their
own list of approved independent broker/dealers and financial institutions.
The investment advisor's approved list must be made available to the District
upon request.
8.0 AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
8.1 The District is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under the
CGC Sections 53601 et seq. Authorized investments shall also include, in

is subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit
ratings specified in Appendix A Authorized Investments, the Treasurer
should notify the Board of Directors of the change. The course of action to
be followed will then be decided on a case-by-case basis, considering such
factors as the reason for the change, prognosis for recovery or further rate
drops, and the market price of the security.

rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate
with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.

FOMC in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases
inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have
the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve's most important
and most flexible monetary policy tool.
PORTFOLIO: Collection of securities held by an investor.
PRIMARY DEALER: A group of government securities dealers who submit daily reports
of market activity and positions and monthly financial statements to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and are subject to its informal oversight. Primary dealers include
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) -registered securities broker-dealers,
banks, and a few unregulated firms.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states the law requires that
a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by the
custody state—the so-called legal list. In other states the trustee may invest in a security
if it is one which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who
is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not claim
exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or ad valorem taxes under
the laws of this state, which has segregated for the benefit of the commission eligible
collateral having a value of not less than its maximum liability and which has been
approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits.
RATE OF RETURN: The yield obtainable on a security based on its purchase price or its
current market price. This may be the amortized yield to maturity on a bond the current
income return.
3010-004 Public Funds Investment Policy Page 13 of 14
Page 107 of 209
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO): A holder of securities sells these securities to an
investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a fixed price on a fixed date. The
security "buyer" in effect lends the "seller" money for the period of the agreement, and the
terms of the agreement are structured to compensate him for this.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby securities
and valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank's vaults for protection.
SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues
following the initial distribution.
SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION: Agency created by Congress to protect
investors in securities transactions by administering securities legislation.
SEC RULE 15(C)3-1: See Uniform Net Capital Rule.
STRUCTURED NOTES: Notes issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises (FHLB,
FNMA, SLMA, etc.) and Corporations, which have imbedded options (e.g., call features,
step-up coupons, floating rate coupons, and derivative -based returns) into their debt
structure. Their market performance is impacted by the fluctuation of interest rates, the
volatility of the imbedded options and shifts in the shape of the yield curve.
TREASURY BILLS: A non-interest bearing discount security issued by the U.S. Treasury
to finance the national debt. Most bills are issued to mature in three months, six months,
or one year.
TREASURY BONDS: Long-term coupon -bearing U.S. Treasury securities issued as
direct obligations of the U.S. Government and having initial maturities of more than 10
years.
TREASURY NOTES: Medium-term coupon -bearing U.S. Treasury securities issued as
direct obligations of the U.S. Government and having initial maturities from two to 10 years.
UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE: Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that
member firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in securities maintain a maximum
ratio of indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1; also called net capital rule and net capital
ratio. Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm, including margin loans and
commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public issues are spread among
members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily
converted into cash.
YIELD: The rate of annual income return on an investment, expressed as a percentage.
(a) INCOME YIELD is obtained by dividing the current dollar income by the current market
price for the security. (b) NET YIELD or YIELD TO MATURITY is the current income yield
minus any premium above par or plus any discount from par in purchase price, with the
adjustment spread over the period from the date of purchase to the date of maturity of the
bond.

General Manager's Report
A brief update on District activities and matters of interest as of February 22, 2023.
General Manager
On Tuesday, January 31, 2023, 1 had the opportunity to conduct my first town hall meeting with the
District since becoming GM in August 2022. The general purpose of the town hall session was to
provide an executive staff update to employees as well as review my activities over the past 5
months. However, the primary purpose of the meeting was to provide employees with direct
feedback on the input that each of them provided to me when I initially arrived at the District. I
provided employees with a summary of their feedback in the form of "sustain" and "improve"
comments. Based on their feedback, I discussed the excellent work of our "Taking Care of People
(TCOP)" committee, and the initiatives that TCOP is implementing across the District to address their
"improve" concerns. We had a very productive session with included discussion afterward. We ended
the town hall by celebrating the service recognition of several of our long-time employees.
I met with Carolyn Emery, executive officer for the Orange County Local Agency Formation
Commission (LAFCO), to become better acquainted with LAFCO and its mission. I also met with Jeff
Ball from the Orange County Business Council (OCBC). Jeff discussed OCBC's composition as well
as how it receives its funding. Additionally, Jeff reviewed some of the OCBC initiatives that are
currently underway such as the development of a regional training center.
My priority is continuing our staff work on the compensation study so that we can continue to move
the process forward. Based on the initial Board guidance to K&A and YLWD executive staff, we will
finish our staff work this week in preparation for the closed session on February 27, 2023.
Operations

MEMORANDUM
To: Yorba Linda Water District
From: Townsend Public Affairs
Date: February 5, 2023
Subject: State and Federal Legislative Monthly Report
State Legislative Update
The month of January included renewed action on the state budget and legislative fronts after
months of adjournment from the previous session. This included the release of the Governor's
January Budget framework, the beginning of the Legislative Session and bill introductions, and
other action items relating to severe storms and new wildfire maps. Below is an overview of
pertinent legislative actions taken during the month of January.
State Legislature
January 4 marked the formal start of the 2023-24 Legislative Session. Throughout the month,
new and incumbent lawmakers gathered in their respective chambers for brief floor sessions with
little policy consideration. That is expected to change as the Legislature nears its bill introduction
deadline and each house reviews and refers legislation to the appropriate policy committees.
As of January 31, the Legislature has introduced close to 700 bill vehicles — with roughly half split
between the Assembly and the Senate. Nearly one third of the total bills introduced are vehicles
designated to each house's budget committee to ensure there are enough bills for any and all
budget and budget trailer bills. In addition, there is a significant number of "intent" and "spot" bills,
which lack substantive implementing language, pending future amendments. Legislative trends
point to public safety initiatives to curb controlled substance and fentanyl use, transportation
planning and funding bills, and several bills geared toward increasing affordable housing
production and providing support to the State's homeless population.
The deadline for bill introductions is February 17. While that will serve as a filter for the introduction
of new bill vehicles, it does not prohibit the use of "gut and amend" tactics, which amend the
previous scope of a bill in favor of an entirely new one. The Legislature typically introduces 2,000
or more bills each legislative session, which is roughly capped by a 50 -bill introduction limit over
the course of the current legislative cycle spanning two years. Introductions will continue to
emerge as the Legislature nears the February 17 deadline, with most introduced in the final
week. Notable bills include the following:
AB 62 (Mathis) would establish a statewide goal to increase above and below ground
water storage capacity by a total of 3,700,000 acre-feet by the year 2030 and a total of
4,000,000 acre-feet by the year 2040. The bill would require the State Water Resources
Control Board, in consultation with the Department of Water Resources, to design and
implement measures to increase statewide water storage to achieve the statewide goal.
Pagel
Page 195 of 209
• AB 66 (Mathis) would require the Natural Resources Agency, and each department,
board, conservancy, and commission within the Agency, to approve the necessary permits
for specified projects within 180 days from receiving a permit application, and would deem
those permits approved if approval does not occur within this time period.
• AB 246 (Papan) would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to eliminate
PFAS from menstrual products.
• ACA 1 (Aguiar-Curry) lowers the necessary voter threshold from a two-thirds
supermajority to 55 percent to approve local general obligation (GO) bonds and special
taxes for affordable housing and public infrastructure projects.
• SB 23 (Caballero) would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent
legislation to expedite the regulatory permitting process for water supply and flood risk
reduction projects.
Key Takeaways from the Governor's Proposed Budget Framework
On January 10, Governor Newsom released his budget proposal for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
Overall spending trends in the proposed budget reflect a more conservative and disciplined
budget framework rooted in "strong fiscal planning" on account of projected shortfalls, compared
to the 2022-23 Budget which held record surpluses. The 2023-2024 January Budget Proposal
anticipates a $22.5 billion budget shortfall, which aligns with previous projections from the
Legislative Analyst's Office. Notably, the Governor proposes refraining from using reserve funds
to backfill revenue losses, and instead favors strategic spending cuts. Some key takeaways from
the proposed budget include:
Deferrals and Reductions in Spending: Despite a $22.5 billion budget shortfall, the
Governor's Budget largely maintains spending levels across the board through addressing
the shortfalls by using deferrals, special fund loans, and fund shifts. The Governor
specifically announced the deliberate steps that the State was going to take in order to
address the budget shortfall, including proposed funding deferrals, reductions, and trigger
reductions, which means that funds will "trigger" back to previous levels if the state's fiscal
outlook improves.
Local Government Accountability Emphasis: The Governor proposed adding
contingencies to the receipt of funds related to housing and homelessness. Specifically,
the legislature will look toward conditioning eligibility for any future homeless -related
grants and competitive programs through the Business, Consumer Services and Housing
Agency and the Health and Human Services Agency, on compliance with state housing
law.
• Maximizing Spending Impact: As typical with constricted budget capabilities, the
Governor and the Legislature will look to maximize the impact of funding within various
spending programs and direct allocations. This will include a keen focus on regional
impacts, rather than hyper -targeted spending practices.
While the budget proposal includes various spending reductions and deferrals, it is important to
note that the budget situation will continue to evolve over the next few months before its
Page 2
Page 196 of 209
enactment. The Governor's proposal will be updated in May to reflect changes to tax returns,
inflationary pressures, and federal monetary policy that could result in additional spending cuts or
the restoration of spending programs.
Below is a high-level overview of proposed expenditures, organized by issue area:
Budget Reserves
• Total Budget Reserves: $35.6 Billion
• Rainy Day Fund: $22.4 Billion
• Public -School Rainy -Day Fund: $8.5 Billion:
• Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties: $3.8 Billion

• $10 million to California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) to support
its cannabis tax enforcement program
• $1.9 million to establish a permanent Department of Cannabis Control Enforcement
District Office in Fresno to further the enforcement activities of the department in the
Central Valley
Homelessness
• Maintains prior budget commitments of $3.4 billion and $1 billion for HHAP Round 5
o Proposed statutory reconfiguration of HHAP program to reduce direct flexibility and
instead fund programs such as the encampment resolution grant program, CARE
Act, Homekey, etc.
• Maintains CARE Act funding for county start up programs totaling $88.3 million

User Tax)
• $2 billion reduction in Transit Intercity Rail Capital Program over 3 years
• $200 million reduction in funding for the Active Transportation Program (ATP)
• Reductions in general fund spending on zero emissions vehicle programs partially offset
by shifts from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund totaling $1.1 billion.
Ban on Outdated Diesel Vehicles Takes Effect
On January 1, a set of clean air regulations implemented by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) in 2008, and later signed into law as SB 1 (Beall, Statutes of 2017), went into effect. The
regulations ban any diesel vehicles weighing over 14,000 pounds and built before 2010 from
operating on California road as of the beginning of this year.
CARB estimates that around 200,000 vehicles, including 70,000 big rig trucks, do not comply with
the rule and will be prohibited from operating in the state. Exceptions to the rule will be made for
vehicles that have replaced their engine with one manufactured after 2010, and vehicles that
travel less than 1,000 miles a year. The law will be enforced by DMV denying registrations to non-
compliant trucks and buses, and CARB's enforcement unit will conduct audits of commercial fleets
that may result in citations.
The implementation of these regulations marks the first of numerous ambitious targets the agency
is seeking to codify into law. An even more ambitious plan was recently proposed by CARB to
remove all gas and diesel truck fleets from the state's roads by 2045 and replace them with zero -
emission vehicles, including city fleets of public works and waste hauling vehicles. While this plan
is still in the workshop process, it underscores the Agency's desire to decrease emissions through
phasing out gas -powered vehicles.

Federal Legislative Update
The month of January featured various federal departments releasing funding schedules and
proposed regulations, important federal appropriations process updates, and the finalization of
post-election Congressional leadership changes. Below is an overview of critical actions taken
during the month of January.
New Information on the FY 2024 Federal Appropriations Process
Throughout the month of January, Townsend Public Affairs Federal Advocates met with
Congressional staff to discuss the upcoming Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations process. Staff
indicated that they anticipate an earmark submission process to play out similar to the past two
years. Currently, there is a lot of uncertainty around how House Republican dynamics will impact
the process, however, at minimum, the Senate will accept earmark requests and move their
process forward along a timeline similar to the past two years. Submission deadlines are expected
to be in early April.
Determining Projects: For those interested in submitting Appropriations requests, now is the
time to start brainstorming project ideas to submit to legislators. With projects in mind, it is
recommended that entities and advocates begin to brief staff so that they can vet the project.
Senator Feinstein's office has requested that this vetting process start with state representatives.
This is recommended to start prior to the release of official guidelines.
Predicted Timeline: While there is no official word on when the appropriations solicitations will
open, the timeline is likely to be tight, further emphasizing the importance of getting all project
components ready before the official date. Congress customarily waits until the President
releases his budget to begin their process. This is usually timed to drop in conjunction with the
State of the Union Address, scheduled for February 7. However, Hill staff have indicated that the
President's budget is set to be released on March 9, pushing back the predicted timeline by about
a month.
This means that similarly to the past two years, there will likely be a quick turnaround time with
the process in Congress opening around March 9 with solicitations to be due a few weeks later
to meet the mid-April deadlines.
Fifteen Rounds of Voting for House Speakership
After four days of voting, on January 7, Representative Kevin McCarthy secured the votes
required to confirm the House Speakership. In order to be elected the House Speaker, a candidate
has to receive a majority of voters from present and voting members. Representative McCarthy
was able to finally achieve the necessary amount of support on January 6 when 14 of his 20 critics
decided to vote for him following several concessions. The total number of voters was 216 votes
for Speaker McCarthy and 212 Voters for Representative Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader.
Following his election, the House of Representatives can now finally take on the legislative
agenda for the 118th Congress.
Page 5
Page 199 of 209
House Republicans Announce Appropriations Committee Leadership
As House Republicans continue to organize their new majority, House Committee on
Appropriations Chairwoman Kay Granger announced the approval of her slate of subcommittee
chairs. The twelve appropriations subcommittee chairs are often referred to as "cardinals" owing
to the gravity of their role shaping their portion of annual federal spending. The subcommittee
chairs and their staffs are the main point of contacts for funding issues within their subcommittee
of jurisdiction. During the 118t" Congress, with Republicans in control of the House and Democrats
in control of the Senate, the appropriations process will be one of the main legislative focuses of
2023, making the subcommittee chairs a key focus point of congressional power for the next two
years.
House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairs:
• Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration — Rep. Andy Harris (MD)
• Commerce, Justice, Science — Rep. Hal Rogers (KY)
• Defense — Rep. Ken Calvert (CA)
• Energy and Water Development — Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (TN)
• Financial Services and General Government — Rep. Steve Womack (AR)
