Subject: Declaration of Restrictive Covenants with John Ku
SUMMARY:
The District has a dedicated sewer easement within 4597 Ponderosa Way. The property owner,
John Ku, is requesting to construct a low block wall with wrought iron and a wrought iron gate within
the easement. District staff reviewed the request and recommends approval subject to the
execution of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the President and Secretary to execute the Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants, subject to approval as to form by General Counsel, with John Ku.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee discussed this item at its meeting on July 7, 2011
and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
Mr. Ku requested District permission to construct a low block wall with wrought iron and a wrought
iron gate and retain existing improvements that include low retaining walls, planter areas and
decorative concrete and paver walkways within a dedicated sewer easement at 4597 Ponderosa
Way. All of these improvements run parallel and across the sewer main within the easement, as
shown in the enclosed exhibit.
Staff reviewed the applicant's request and determined the improvements would have minimal
impact on routine operations and maintenance of the District's facilities. However, if the District ever
needed to excavate within the easement to facilitate repairs or replacements of the public sewer
system, the subject improvements could be damaged and/or need to be removed. In this case, the
owner understands that with the execution of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, the District
would not be liable for replacement of these improvement. Staff recommends the execution of the
attached, subject to approval as to form by General Counsel.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors has authorized execution of similar Declarations of Restrictive Covenants
with various developers and individual property owners.

FINANCE-ACCOUNTING COMMITTEE MEETING
July 11, 2011
A meeting of the Finance-Accounting Committee was called to order by Director Collett
at 4:00 p.m. The meeting was held at the District's Administrative Office at 1717 E
Miraloma Ave, Placentia CA 92870.

Director Robert R. Kiley
1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
2. ACTION CALENDAR
2.1. Sewer Maintenance Charges for Locke Ranch, Multi-Family Residential
and Commercial/Industrial Accounts Transferred from the City of Yorba
Linda as of July 1, 2011 and Areas Outside of the District for Fiscal Year
2011/12
Mr. Parker presented the item that will go to the full Board for placing
sewer charges on the tax rolls. Mr. Parker explained that as a result of the
City of Yorba Linda sewer transfer, this item was more complicated than
prior years. Normally only Locke Ranch was placed on the tax rolls.
However, this year, due to the disparity in rates between the District's
Sewer Maintenance Charge and that of the City of Yorba Linda for the
Commercial/Industrial and Multi-Family Residential Accounts, those items
would be included on the tax rolls as well. Mr. Parker noted that the
resolution presented for consideration is currently being reviewed by legal
counsel.
The Committee inquired about when it was known that there was a
discrepancy in the rates of Commercial/Industrial and Multi-Family
Residential accounts transferred from the City. Mr. Parker indicated that
the City had changed the rates near the end of FY09/10, but he was not
aware of it until he received a file of the accounts from the City in April.
The Committee stated that it would have been beneficial to have been
advised of the issue earlier.
Mr. Parker also presented a handout that documented some
discrepancies that were identified through the process of preparing for the
transfer of the City of Yorba Linda sewers. These included:
• Thirty accounts were discovered where the City was unnecessarily
assessing the sewer charge on the property tax rolls, at the same
1
time that those same accounts were being maintained and correctly
billed by the District.
• Seventy accounts were discovered that were being billed by the
District that were or should have been billed by the City.
• Accounts totaling 185 were discovered that the City was not
assessing a sewer charge of any kind.
• Lastly, 626 accounts were discovered that were being assessed a
single-family residence rate by the City, but they appeared to be
multi-family residences.
Mr. Parker explained that the financial liability of the District to customers
who were being incorrectly billed was not clear. However, the
understanding based on review by legal counsel was that the time limit for
reimbursement should be no more than four years. Mr. Parker presented
a breakdown of cost the District would incur should the legal liability be
determined to be four years. In addition, he presented the cost necessary
should the District refund to the customers all charges they had ever been
assessed. The two figures were less than $15,000 and less than $20,000,
respectively.
Regarding the 626 accounts, the Committee asked for the District's
definition of "multi-family residence." Mr. Parker indicated that he did not
have that information and would obtain it. The Committee indicated that
some of the residences in question might not meet the definition of a multi-
family residence. As such, the Committee asked that staff study the
definition and then make a future recommendation to the Committee as to
changing the billing rate of those accounts in question.
The Committee recommended that staff present the agenda item to the
full Board at the July 28 meeting, with changes that had been discussed
during the Committee meeting.
3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
3.1. Status Report on Committee Specific Strategic Plan Initiatives
Mr. Parker updated the Committee on the status of the various initiatives
from the strategic plan that related to the Fiscal Responsibility area. The
Committee had no questions or future tasks for staff, but the Committee
did recommend that as initiatives are completed they be moved to a
completed section, but still remain on future monthly reports.
3.2. May 2011 Budget to Actual Results
Mr. Parker presented the May 2011 Budget-to-Actual results and indicated
that most of the trends of the fiscal year continued through May. He noted
that the District expenditures were below budget by approximately
$700,000, and that he expected that figure to still be in the range of
$500,000 once the audit was completed. Mr. Parker explained some
variances of results in the supplies and services area. In addition, the
2
Committee had a question on the Insurance line item that Mr. Parker
indicated he would research and get back to the Committee with the
answer. The Committee had no further questions or tasks for staff relating
to the budget-to-Actual results.
3.3. May 2011 Investment Report
Mr. Parker presented the May 2011 Investment Report and noted that the
yield for the month had decreased 5% to 0.88%. He also noted that it had
just come to his attention that the yield of the US Bank Money Market
Account in May was actually 0.12% rather than the 0.20% indicated on the
schedule. It had been 0.20% in April 2011. Mr. Parker identified that the
largest change between reserves was as a result of a reallocation of
expenses between the water and sewer funds in conjunction with closing
a GIS project. The Committee had no questions or tasks for staff
regarding the investment report.
3.4. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
None.
4. ADJOURNMENT

Mr. Conklin reported that the District has a dedicated sewer easement
within 4597 Ponderosa Way, which is a residence owned by Mr. John Ku.
Mr. Ku is requesting to construct a low block wall with wrought iron and a
gate within the easement. District staff reviewed the request and
recommend approval. Following discussion, the PEO Committee

reported that legal counsel is reviewing the documents and an approved
copy by counsel will be provided for the Board on July 14.
2.2. Initiating LAFCO Proceedings for Locke Ranch Annexation
Mr. Conklin reported that the District has been providing sewer service to
customers in the Locke Ranch Area since 1977 and is pursuing
annexation of approximately 451 acres to the District. As a first step in the
annexation process, LAFCO requires a resolution initiating proceedings.
Following discussion the PEO Committee supported the staff
recommendation that the Board approve Resolution No. 11-16, initiating

The resolution will be reviewed by legal counsel and brought to the Board
for approval on July 28.

3.3. Monthly Groundwater Production and Purchased Import Water Report
Mr. Conklin reported on the above for the month of June 2011 and for FY
2010-11. He noted that for June 2011, water demand was 12.8% below
the budgeted projection, and for FY10-11, we ended the year 8.6% below
the projection. Mr. Conklin also reported that we ended the FY at our
target goal of 45.9% groundwater use, achieving the BPP.

budgeted crewmembers in sewer maintenance and are in the process of
purchasing a new budget-approved sewer vactor truck.

2.7. Computerized Maintenance & Management System Project Status
This item was moved up in the agenda to accommodate Mr. DeCriscio.
Mr. Vega updated the Committee on the status of the CMMS project. He
noted that Glenn from Westin was on-site working with the District's Chief
Plant Operator, Operations Superintendent, and Customer Service
Supervisor. Glenn's next on-site visit has been moved from the week of
July 18th to the week of July 25th to provide staff more time to complete
outstanding CMMS tasks. Mr. DeCriscio informed the Committee that staff
was working through some initial challenges with the CityWorks program
which delayed the project. Mr. Vega showed the Committee a
laptop/tablet that is a candidate for the CMMS pilot-program for the
Production Department.
Mr. DeCriscio left the meeting at this time.
2.1. Elk Mountain Neighborhood Meeting Update (Verbal Report)
Mr. Micalizzi updated the Committee on some phone calls he has received
in response to the letter sent out informing residents of the July 21St
meeting at the Elk Mountain site. He shared with the Committee some of
the questions and concerns expressed by callers and that he anticipates
at least a couple dozen neighbors will attend the meeting on the 21St
2.2. Ideas for Summer Newsletter Content
Mr. Micalizzi presented to the Committee some ideas for content for the
Summer Newsletter. Mr. Hawkins suggested a letter from the Board
President outlining the recently passed budget and adopted Strategic
Plan. Other content approved for the newsletter includes, promotion of
1
on-line bill-pay, the Bottled Water Label Artwork Contest, a coupon for
District Customers to attend "Water Works" at the Discovery Science
Center and a piece stressing the importance of keeping your home
landscaping trimmed back from fire hydrants.
2.3. Bottled Water Label Art Contest
Mr. Micalizzi presented the Committee with the proposed Bottled Water
Label Art Contest for the next edition of YLWD Bottled Water. The
Committee approved the Contest terms and promotion through the
newsletter and the website.
2.4. Conservation Signs (Verbal Report)
Mr. Micalizzi updated the Committee on options to replace and or modify
the Conservation Signs currently in place throughout the District. The
Committee agreed that wrapping the current signs with new prints would
not only be the best way to update the signs, but also the most
economical way to change the existing signs and posts. Mr. Hawkins
suggested that each sign have a different theme or message rather than
all signs being the same. The Committee will review draft signage at its
August 1St meeting.
2.5. Status of Video Recording in Board Room (Verbal Report)
Mr. Micalizzi presented to the Committee a proposal from staff for
implementing Video Recording in the Board Room. The Committee
decided that elaborate multi camera configurations are not necessary at
this time and directed staff to move forward with installation of a single
camera centrally located in the Board Room centered on the five Board
Members.
2.6. Dynamics GP Consultant
Mr. Vega summarized to the Committee the Scope of Work (SOW)
submitted by Neulogics. The SOW drafted by Neulogics was based on a
conference call that was attended by IT, Finance and HR staff. The work
identified that relates to Payroll/HR would be started late in the year, to be
completed by the first payroll of the following year to avoid any
complexities as recommended by Neulogics. Mr Vega noted that the
District and Neulogics have almost finalized the PSA for Neulogics. Mr.
Hawkings inquired if Gina Knight was part of the conference call for which
Mr. Vega replied yes.
2.8. Status Report on Committee-Specific Strategic Plan Initiatives.
The Committee reviewed the report and questioned why the EPIC
Committee had not met in some time. The Committee recommended that
in order for the EPIC Committee to be viable to the District, it should meet
regularly.

3. ACTION CALENDAR
3.1. Citizen's Advisory Committee Structure and Re-Organization
The Committee Discussed electing new leadership. Ms. Spencer-Borden
nominated Mr. Boznanski to continue serving as the Committee's Chair
and the rest of the Committee unanimously approved that nomination. Mr.
Buck nominated Ms. Spencer-Borden as Vice Chair. Mr. Llanos
nominated Mr. Guse, who was not in attendance. The majority of the
Committee approved naming Ms. Spencer-Borden as Vice Chair. Next
the Committee discussed when these positions should come up for re-
organization and rotation, either mirroring the District's fiscal year, or the
calendar year as does the YLWD Board re-organization. The Committee
decided to postpone this decision, along with revisiting the frequency and
scheduled time of the CAC meetings, until their next meeting in July.
The Committee decided that a Secretary would not be needed as staff is
doing an adequate job of capturing meeting minutes and preparing
agendas for the Committee.
3.2. Committee's Mission Statement and Purpose
The Committee adopted the following Mission Statement and Purpose:
The Citizens Advisory Committee will seek and provide community input
to the District staff and the Board of Directors and will assist in building
community knowledge and awareness of the District's plans, projects and
initiatives.

4. ACTION CALENDAR
4.1. Recap of CAC Tour of the District
The Committee briefly touched upon the June 3, 2011 tour of the District
facilities. Mr. Boznanski mentioned that the Elk Mountain Reservoir was
disguised well. This brought up a separate conversation about the fact
that most District facilities are buried.
4.2. Elk Mountain Reservoir Practice Field Project Update
Mr. Micalizzi updated the Committee on the proposed Elk Mountain
Reservoir Practice Field Project, and informed the Committee about the
neighborhood meeting scheduled for July 21, 2011 at the Elk Mountain
Reservoir site. Several Committee members commented about the need
for such facilities including Mr. Mole, who said he may be interested in
attending that meeting if available.
4.3. Citizens Advisory Committee Member to Present Meeting Minutes at Next
Board of Directors Meeting on July 14, 2011
It was first mentioned in the Action Calendar under item 3.1. by Mr. Buck
that Committee members adopt a rotation for delivering the summary of
their meeting to the Board of Directors, to offer more of an opportunity for
Committee members to assume positions of responsibility and to better
indoctrinate the CAC to the District and to the Board. The Committee
decided to rotate that responsibility alphabetically, skipping those who
have done it in the past, until all have had a chance to attend and deliver
minutes to the Board. Mr. Baker, as the first on the list alphabetically, is
slated to do so for the Board Meeting on July 14, 2011. Ms. Spencer-
Borden will stand in as an alternate if Mr. Baker is not available.
4.4. Future Agenda Items
■ AWWA QualServe Employee Survey Results and Executive
Summary
■ Rate Structure and Financial Planning
■ FY 2011/12 Budget and District's Strategic Plan
■ Hard Water Causes and Effects
5. ADJOURNMENT
5.1. The Committee adjourned at 10:24 a.m. The next regular meeting of the
Citizens Advisory Committee will be held July 25, 2011 at 8:30 a.m.
