CALL TO ORDER A meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee was called to order at 8:40 a.m. by Chair Carl Boznanski. The meeting was held at the District's Administrative Office at 1717 East Miraloma Avenue, Placentia CA 92870. COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT Carl Boznanski, Chair Joe Holdren Greg Myers Cheryl Spencer- Borden Oscar Bugarini Sr. Modesto Llanos Fred Hebein YLWD DIRECTORS PRESENT YLWD STAFF PRESENT Michael Beverage, Director Damon Micalizzi, PI Officer Derek Nguyen, Water Quality Engineer VISITORS PRESENT Tim Brooks 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 3. PRESENTATIONS 3.1. Hard Water Causes and Effects Mr. Nguyen gave a Power Point Presentation about hard water. He outlined the mineral composition of the District's water supply and how ground water differs from import water. The Committee asked several questions about the effects of hard water and how to best minimize its effects. A copy of Mr. Nguyen's presentation will be e-mailed to the Committee. 4. ACTION CALENDAR 4.1. Schedule for Reorganization of Committee Officers Action for this item was postponed until the Committee's meeting in August. 4.2. Frequency of Meetings Mr. Boznanski suggested both items on the Action Calendar be continued until the next meeting due to the fact that five members of the Committee were not in attendance and that neither item was time sensitive. 1 5. DISCUSSION ITEMS 5.1. Elk Mountain Reservoir Practice Field Project Update Mr. Micalizzi updated the Committee on the happenings at the July 21, 2011 neighborhood meeting held at the Elk Mountain Reservoir site. He reported that roughly 49 people attended the informal gathering in addition to District Staff. Of those 49 people in attendance, the vast majority were opposed to the proposed project. Mr. Brooks, speaking on behalf of those neighbors opposed to the project, then sited some of the questions, concerns and reasons for the opposition. Mr. Brooks asked the Committee to take into consideration those points and opinions of those who will be most affected by such a project with any future recommendations the CAC might make to the YLWD Board. The Committee thanked Mr. Brooks for his input and agreed to make note of those sentiments in future deliberations. In addition, Mr. Brooks was invited to attend future CAC and Board meetings where this project would be discussed. Mr. Micalizzi and Director Beverage elaborated on some of the events of the July 21, 2011 meeting and clarified some of the information and questions posed by Mr. Brooks. A Special Board Workshop Meeting is scheduled for August 4, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the Proposed Elk Mountain Practice Field Project. 5.2. Citizens Advisory Committee Member to Present Meeting Minutes at Next Board of Directors Meeting on August 11, 2011 Mr. Boznanski noted that due to an unexpected conflict and a sub- sequential communication mix up, the Committee did not have a representative appear to present the CAC meeting minutes at the July 14m 2011 Board Meeting. In keeping with the Committee's previously agreed upon plan to have committee members rotate this responsibility, Mr. Bugarini was informed he would be next in line alphabetically. Mr. Bugarini declined saying that he was unavailable to attend the August 11, 2011 Board meeting, and stated that he thought the Chair and Vice Chair should continue to assume that responsibility. Mr. Holdren also stated that he would not wish to present to the Board either. After some discussion, the Committee decided to revert to the previous procedure for having the Chairman and Vice Chair be responsible for presenting Committee minutes at Board meetings. However, if Committee members want to participate in this presentation, the Chairman could so appoint them on an individual basis monthly. Mr. Boznanski then volunteered to present the CAC's meeting minutes at the next Board of Directors meeting, which will be Thursday, July 28, 2011 not August 11, 2011 as noted in the agenda. 2 5.3.

ADJOURNMENT 6.1. The Committee adjourned at 10:15 a.m. The next regular meeting of the Citizens Advisory Committee will be held August 22, 2011 at 8:30 a.m. 3 ITEM NO. 8.1 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 28, 2011 To: Board of Directors From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Prepared By: Steve Conklin, Engineering Manager Subject: SARI Relocation Project and Yorba Linda Spur SUMMARY: The Orange County Flood Control District (OCFCD) and the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) have jointly awarded construction contracts for the Santa Ana River Interceptor (SARI) Mainline sewer relocation and for the associated Yorba Linda Spur sewer line. Upon completion of construction, the Yorba Linda Spur sewer line in La Palma Avenue will be transferred to Yorba Linda Water District to own and maintain as part of the Sewer Transfer Agreement with the City of Yorba Linda. YLWD staff reviewed the design plans for the Yorba Linda Spur, and are prepared to operate and maintain the 4,650 feet of 15-inch sewer. Mr. Lance Natsuhara, Program Manager, Orange County Flood Control District, will be making an informational presentation on the planned projects. DISCUSSION: The existing SARI Line is a 23-mile-long wastewater pipeline that extends from the Orange/San Bernardino county boundary just southwest of Prado Dam down to the OCSD sewage treatment plant in Fountain Valley. The SARI Line serves the sewage disposal needs of Yorba Linda, east Anaheim, Orange, and portions of Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Fountain Valley. It also serves segments of Riverside and San Bernardino counties by conveying raw sewage and brine to OCSD's treatment plant. Several segments of the SARI Line lie under the Santa Ana River within Santa Ana Canyon between the Orange/San Bernardino county boundary and Weir Canyon Road. Constructed in the mid-1970's, the SARI Line was originally buried about 20 feet below the river bed. Over time, the amount of soil covering the SARI Line has eroded, leaving the pipeline with minimal cover in some locations. This condition puts nearly four miles of the SARI Line in jeopardy of failure during heavy rainstorms when high volumes of storm flow are released from Prado Dam. Currently, the Corps of Engineers limits the storm-discharge flow from Prado to minimize the threat. To insure the long-term integrity of the pipeline, protect public health, and safeguard the environment, the OCFCD, in cooperation with the OCSD and the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA), implemented the SARI Relocation Project. This project will relocate and replace the SARI Mainline with a new 54-inch-diameter pipeline on the south side of the river just north of and adjacent to the Riverside (91) Freeway. In addition, a new 15-inch-diameter gravity sewer, called the Yorba Linda Spur, will be constructed under La Palma Avenue and the Santa Ana River Trail to serve the sewage disposal needs of portions of Yorba Linda. The Yorba Linda Spur will cross the river by way of an inverted siphon and connect to the existing SARI Line behind SAVI Ranch. When the project was initiated, an agreement was executed between OCFCD, OCSD and the City of Yorba Linda, whereby the City would assume ownership, and would operate and maintain the Yorba Linda Spur upon completion of construction. During the design phase, City staff reviewed the plans and solicited review comments from YLWD. All of YLWD's review comments were combined with the City's comments for incorporation into the final plans. As such, YLWD staff was familiar with the Spur project, and prepared to accept it as an element of the Sewer Transfer Agreement between the City and YLWD.

The program will require participating agencies to enter an Agreement with MWDOD for participation in the turf removal program. The proposed program will rebate qualified participants $1 per square foot of traditional lawn turf that is removed and replaced with water efficient landscape. Participating agencies will be required to provide the resources for both pre- and post-inspection to confirm adherence of program conditions by participating customers. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors consider execution of an Agreement for Participation in Municipal Water District of Orange County's Turf Removal Program, and matching funds up to $15,000. DISCUSSION: The Turf Removal Rebate Program would run as a partnership between the individual MWDOC- member agencies that wish to participate and MWDOC itself. MWD would not be directly involved in the administration of the rebate program, as they have been in the past. As such, the traditional rebate administration companies will also not be used. Instead, both a pre- and post-site inspection is required by the participating agency to ensure that all components of the rebate program are adhered to. During the 2010 trial program, YLWD meter-reading staff was trained to complete these inspections. The program components include: . A minimum of 250 sq ft and a maximum of 10,000 sq ft of turf must be removed . Projects must not be started prior to the acceptance of the application . The converted area cannot include any live or synthetic turf . If a watering system is used, it must be either a drip or bubbler system. Weather-based irrigation systems or rotating nozzles are not allowed . All exposed soil must be covered with a 2"-3" layer of mulch . Converted area must be permeable to air and water (no concrete) Additionally, the City of Yorba Linda requires that all front and side lawns "be landscaped and consist primarily of plant materials." Per the City's Community Preservation Department, this ordinance is interpreted to mean as at least 51 % plants. A traditional lawn is not required. In addition to the $1 per sq ft of MWDOC-administered money, each member agency is also allowed to match the funding. The continuation of this program was anticipated and as such, a total of $25,000 was budgeted by YLWD for FY 2011/12 under the line item of Conservation Rebates. This line item also includes other rebate programs that YLWD participated in, including SmarTimers and rotating nozzles. Staff anticipates, however, that less than $5,000 will be used for the other rebate programs during FY 2011/12, leaving an anticipated remaining balance of $20,000 for the Turf Removal Program. At this time, staff is proposing that $15,000 of that balance be approved for MWDOC's program. The remaining balance would be available in the event that the program popularity increases over last year's numbers, and the Board authorizes further participation. As a point of comparison, IRWD, South Coast, City of San Clemente and City of San Juan Capistrano are all participating and anticipate matching funds, with no specific monetary cutoff. PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S): On September 23, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized participation in the trial Turf Removal Program. ATTACHMENTS: Name: Description: Type: YLWD_Turf _Removal _Agt FY_11-12(6-30-11) _UNSIGNED.pdf FY 2011 12 Turf Removal Agreement Backup Material Agreement for Participation in Municipal Water District of Orange County's Turf Removal Program This agreement for participation and, where indicated, co-funding ("Agreement") is made on the last date signed below by and between MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT OF ORANGE COUNTY ("MWDOC") and the Yorba Linda Water District ("Participant"). MWDOC and Participant are also referred to collectively as the "Parties." RECITALS WHEREAS, MWDOC and Participant entered into an agreement dated January 13, 2011 ("Existing Participation Agreement") to establish the conditions for participation in the Turf Removal Program ("Program") administered by MWDOC in Participant's service area; WHEREAS, MWDOC and Participant now wish to terminate the Existing Participation Agreement and continue Program participation under this Agreement, as provided herein; and WHEREAS, this Agreement establishes the conditions for Participant's participation in the Program administered by MWDOC in Participant's service area for the term stated herein. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Termination of Existing Participation Agreement. The Existing Participation Agreement is hereby terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties, effective upon final execution of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that all obligations arising under the Existing Participation Agreement have been met. 2. Rebate Program. MWDOC has developed and arranged funding for the Program through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California ("Metropolitan"). The Program will provide financial incentives on a first come, first served basis while Metropolitan funding lasts for the removal of turf by residential and small commercial water users within Participant's service area. Turf removal projects must meet Program guidelines to be eligible for financial incentives in the form of a cash payment for each square foot of removed turf. The Program's objectives are to achieve savings in water consumption, reduce water runoff to storm drains and natural water bodies, and promote the goals of the applicable Best Management Practices. 3. Site Inspection; Election by Participant. Participant must either (1) conduct pre- and post-turf removal site inspections for all Program Applications submitted to Agreement for Participation MWDOC Turf Removal Program MWDOC from within the Participant's service area, or (2) provide funding to MWDOC, as set forth in Section 3.1.3 below, for the cost of MWDOC's site installation inspection consultant, Mission Resource Conservation District (MRCD), to conduct both pre- and post-turf removal inspections. By its initials below, Participant hereby elects to either: (1) Conduct its own inspections, as described herein: Initials Here or (2) Provide funding to MWDOC to conduct inspections, as described herein: Initials Here 3.1. If Participant elects to provide funding to MWDOC for MRCD inspection services for the pre- and post-turf removal inspections, Participant shall be responsible for the following activities. 3.1.1. Upon receipt of a completed application, MWDOC will contact MRCD to request a pre-turf removal inspection. At the conclusion of the pre-turf removal inspection, and from the results of the pre-turf removal inspection, MWDOC will notify Participant of MWDOC's preliminary determination that the application under consideration should be approved or denied. Participant shall promptly review MWDOC's determination and inform MWDOC whether it agrees or disagrees. MWDOC will work with Participant in good faith to resolve differences of opinion regarding the status of a particular application, but the final decision on issuing a Notice to Proceed lies with MWDOC. Once MWDOC has made a final decision on an application, MWDOC will issue a Notice to Proceed or a Participation Denial Notice to the applicant. 3.1.2. Participant shall be responsible for the actual cost charged to MWDOC by MRCD for pre- and post-turf removal inspections, which will be invoiced to Participants on a monthly basis by MWDOC. MRCD inspection costs are invoiced to MWDOC pursuant to a services agreement between MRCD and MWDOC. At the time this Agreement is executed, the residential turf removal inspection cost as charged to MWDOC by MRCD is $105 per residential inspection. The total cost for both pre and post-turf removal residential inspections is thus $210.00. The current commercial inspection cost as charged to MWDOC by MRCD is approximately $165.36 per inspection, based on an average of four (4) hours for a small commercial site at $37.84 per hour, plus $28 per hour for inspection verification administration. Again, two commercial inspections are required, for a total 2 Agreement for Participation MWDOC Turf Removal Program estimated cost of $330.72. Should the MRCD costs decrease or increase, MWDOC will pass these changes through to Participant. 3.1.3. Inspection Funding Cap. Participant agrees to provide inspection funding for inspections conducted by MRCD as requested by Participant, up to $0.00. MWDOC agrees that it shall inform Participant when that cap has been reached. At that point, Participant shall have the following options and shall immediately inform MWDOC of its decision to: (1) elect to perform the pre- and post-turf removal inspections, (2) increase the funding cap via letter from Participant's General Manager, or (3) end its participation in the Program. Selecting option #3 will not eliminate Participant's responsibility to perform or fund pre-and post-turf removal inspections underway (in the queue). 3.2. If Participant elects to perform the pre- and post-turf removal inspections, Participant shall be responsible for the following activities. 3.2.1. Upon receipt of a Program Application, MWDOC shall enter the application information into its database and issue a pre-turf removal inspection work order to Participant. Participant shall schedule and conduct the pre-turf removal inspection, complete the pre-turf removal work order as provided by MWDOC with the required data and site photographs, and establish that the applicant's proposed project and site are consistent with the intent of the Program. The pre-turf removal inspection shall establish that the applicant's site consists of between 250 and 10,000 square feet of live turf being irrigated with potable water. 3.2.2. At the conclusion of the pre-turf removal inspection, Participant shall submit the completed work order and site photographs to MWDOC. The pre-turf removal inspection work order shall contain Participant's recommendation to approve or deny the application. If MWDOC staff agrees with the recommendation, it shall approve the application, designate the site as an eligible Program turf removal project, and issue a Notice to Proceed to the applicant, or reject the application and issue a Participation Denial Notice to the applicant. The post-turf removal inspection work order shall be the basis for calculating the rebate incentive. 3.2.3. If MWDOC staff disagrees with Participant's recommendation, MWDOC will so notify Participant. Participant may renew its recommendation and submit it to MWDOC for reconsideration, but the final decision on a Notice to Proceed lies with MWDOC. 3.2.4. It will be the responsibility of applicant to notify MWDOC that the work has been completed at the site. Upon notification from the applicant that the work has been completed, MWDOC shall issue a post-turf removal work order to Participant. Participant shall schedule and conduct the post-turf 3 Agreement for Participation MWDOC Turf Removal Program removal inspection, complete the post-turf removal work order as provided by MWDOC with the required data and site photographs, and establish that the applicant's completed project and site are consistent with the intent of the Program. 3.3. The post-turf removal inspection, whether completed by Participant or MRCD, shall establish the items set forth in Sections 3.3.1- 3.3.6 below. At the conclusion of the post-turf removal inspection, MWDOC will direct its accounting department to issue a rebate incentive check to the party listed on the Program application within a ten (10) week period. Rebate incentive shall be based on the square footage calculation listed on the post-turf removal work order. 3.3.1. The site's precise turf removal area in square feet as removed in association with this Program. This shall be the basis for calculating the amount of each site's rebate. 3.3.2. The site's turf removal area does not include any live or synthetic turf. 3.3.3. The converted area's irrigation system, if any, is a low flow system (drip, bubblers, or low-precipitation high-efficiency rotating nozzles). If part of a lawn is converted, the sprinkler system must be properly modified to provide adequate coverage to the remaining lawn without spraying the converted area. 3.3.4. All exposed soil in the converted area is covered with a 2-3" layer of mulch, except in areas planted with creeping or rooting groundcovers. 3.3.5. Converted area is permeable to air and water. Weed barriers must be permeable. Concrete, plastic sheeting or other impermeable surfaces do not qualify for incentives under the Program. 3.3.6. No invasive plant species are used. 4. Option Requirements for Participants Providing Supplemental Funding For Rebate Incentives. Participant has the option to provide supplemental funding to customers in its service area to further incentivize participation. Supplemental funding for rebate incentives on behalf of Participant, if any, is set forth in Table 4.1 below. If Participant has elected not to provide additional funding upon initial execution of this Agreement, Table 4.1 below will contain "$0" funds: TABLE 4.1 - OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING Agency Name : YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT Supplemental Funding Levels Incentive per Square Foot/Site $1.00 Not to Exceed Funding Cap $15,000 Without formal written amendment of this Agreement, Participant (if no supplemental funding is initially provided) may at any time during the term of the Agreement notify MWDOC that it will begin providing supplemental funding. In addition, at any time during the term of the Agreement, Participant may make additional supplemental 4 Agreement for Participation MWDOC Turf Removal Program funding available. Both changes may be accomplished by written notice to MWDOC in the form of a letter from Participant's General Manager. If Participant notifies MWDOC of its intent to terminate its supplemental funding, or the maximum supplemental funding amount is exhausted, Participant will be responsible for all supplemental funding for those applicants approved in the Program. Once supplemental funding is exhausted, MWDOC will continue to offer the basic incentives provided herein. 5. MWDOC's Obligations. In addition to the obligations stated above, under this Agreement MWDOC shall be responsible to Participant for the following: 5.1. Providing a base incentive of $1 per square foot of verified removed turf on a first come first served basis while Metropolitan funds exist during the term of this Agreement to the eligible applicants who successfully complete the participation process. MWDOC does not guarantee the Metropolitan funding will last the entire term of the Agreement; 5.2. Databasing all applications received on Participant's behalf; 5.3. Ensuring that timely reports on the Program's results are prepared by MWDOC's staff; 5.4. Developing a database of information regarding participation in the Program and providing monthly electronic and written reports of activity to Participant. The electronic reports will include, without limitation, Participant's customer account number, customer name, service address, quantity of turf removed, Participant's level of supplemental funding provided (if any), and base incentive paid; 5.5. Invoicing Participant for its supplemental funding obligation and monitoring the number of rebate applications approved in Participant's service territory to ensure that it is within the "Optional Supplemental Funding" as provided in Table 4.1 of this Agreement. MWDOC does not guarantee any minimum number of rebates will be available for Participant's service area. 5.6. Invoicing Participant for Participant's obligation for inspection services as performed by MWDOC's inspection contractor, MRCD. 5.7. Reporting to Metropolitan on a monthly basis, detailing the Program's activity and requesting reimbursement for those activities at a rate of $1 per square foot of removed turf. 6. Participant's Obligations. In addition to the obligations stated above, under this Agreement Participant shall be responsible to MWDOC for the following: 6.1. Based on invoicing from MWDOC, paying MWDOC for the amount of supplemental funding(s) expensed on its behalf within thirty (30) days of the date of the MWDOC invoice. 6.2. Based on invoicing from MWDOC, paying MWDOC for the inspection services MWDOC's inspection contractor, MRCD, performed for Participant. 6.3. Working with MWDOC in good faith to evaluate each site's qualifications for participation in the Program. s Agreement for Participation MWDOC Turf Removal Program 6.4. Working in an expedient manner to process all applicants through the Program. 7. Confidentiality. MWDOC agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Participant's customer names, addresses and other information about participants in the Program gathered in connection with the Program, and MWDOC will not cause or permit the disclosure of such information except as necessary to carry out the Program. To the extent MWDOC contracts with third party contractors to carry out all or any portion of the Program, MWDOC will require such contractors to maintain the confidentiality of such customer information. 8. Indemnification. MWDOC has designed the Program so that the applicant is solely responsible for the manner in which the turf is removed and selection of the landscape contractor, if any, that will remove it, and each applicant will be required to sign a release and waiver of any claims against MWDOC and/or Participant. MWDOC will require applicants to indemnify MWDOC and Participant against claims arising out of the turf removal. Nevertheless, to the extent that MWDOC or Participant or their respective staffs perform any activities in connection with the Program, each agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all liability, claims, obligations, damages and suits arising out of such activities. 9. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the last date signed below and continue until June 30, 2012 ("Program Expiration"), unless extended by the Parties. 10. Early Termination. Participant may terminate this Agreement at anytime upon thirty (30) days' written notice to MWDOC. MWDOC may terminate this Agreement prior to the Program Expiration date without prior notice in the event funding for the Program is exhausted, reduced, eliminated or unavailable from any funding source, for any reason. If MWDOC deems it necessary to terminate this Program for any other reason, MWDOC shall give Participant thirty (30) days' written notice. In the event of termination by either party, Participant shall be responsible for payment of its supplemental funding contribution for all applications for which MWDOC has issued a Notice to Proceed prior to the effective date of the termination.

This year, with the transfer of over 6,300 sewer connections from the City of Yorba Linda and due to the disparity in rates between the City's and District's multi-family residence and commercial rates, the District will be collecting the sewer maintenance charges for these and other connections on the property tax roll, as well. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 11-17 adopting the sewer maintenance charge for sewers transferred from the City of Yorba Linda and approve Resolution No. 11-18 to elect to have certain sewer maintenance charges collected on the Fiscal Year 2011/12 Tax Roll. DISCUSSION: The current Sewer Maintenance charges are as follows: Commercial-Industrial and Public Schools: 1. For all sewer customers in this category who use water meter reading, the rate shall be as follows: . First 2,200 cubic feet of water consumption per month: $5.50 per month. . All water consumption in excess of 2,201 cubic feet per month: $4.62 per 1,000 cubic feet. 2. Alternatively, for those customers who have a sewer meter or who can demonstrate to the District's satisfaction that 100% of the water meter reading ends up in the District's sewer system, the rates shall be as follows: . First 1,100 cubic feet per month: $5.50 per month . All metered use in excess of 1,101 cubic feet per month: $5.06 per 1,000 cubic feet Residential: 1. Residential - individually metered: $5.50 per month 2. Residential - master metered: $3.85 per month per unit Additionally, in April 2011, the Board of Directors voted to execute an agreement with the City of Yorba Linda which transferred the city-owned sewer system to the Yorba Linda Water District effective July 1, 2011. As a result of this transfer, additional parcels, solely those with multi-family residential, commercial and industrial accounts, or single-family residential in master metered communities need to be added to the current tax roll listing for collection of Sewer Maintenance Charges on the Fiscal Year 11 /12 tax roll. The Sewer Maintenance Charges for the transferred accounts, which will continue to be assessed the same as the City of Yorba Linda in the prior year, are as follows: Commercial-Industrial and Public Schools: . Monthly Fixed Charged based on Meter Size (Attachment A) . Commodity rate charge of $ 0.176 per hundred cubic feet of water consumption, based on 90% of prior year water usage. Residential: 1. Residential - Individually Metered: $5.50 per month 2. Residential - Master Metered: $1.775 per month. The District collects the Sewer Maintenance Charge by adding it to the water bill of customers where the District provides water service and the customer also has a connection to the sewer system. For customers connected to the District sewer system that receive water service from another purveyor, the District collects the Sewer Maintenance Charge through the property tax rolls prepared by the County of Orange Auditor/Controller. This is the case in the Locke Ranch Area which receives water from Golden State Water Company. This process is legally authorized and established by Resolution of the Board. It has been determined that certain sewer maintenance charges, namely those multi-family and commercial accounts where there exists a disparity in rates between the City's and District's charges and single family residences in a master metered communities, need to be placed on the tax roll for collection until a Proposition 218 process can be completed to equalize the rates. The Sewer Maintenance Charges are subject to the substantive and procedural requirements of Proposition 218 (California Constitution Article XIII D) barring an increase in the rates and/or a discretionary CPI increase of more than 5%, except with proper notification to the property owners affected allowing adequate opportunity to protest any such increases. Staff is not recommending a change to the current sewer maintenance charge at this time. To collect the current maintenance charges for certain sewer accounts for Fiscal Year 2011/12, the County of Orange Auditor/Controller's Office requires a certified Resolution by the Board of Directors directing their office to add the charges to the tax rolls for the properties assessed. The County establishes a deadline of August 1 to receive this information. PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S): On July 26, 2007, the Board of Directors passed Resolution No. 07-13 adopting the current sewer maintenance charges. On June 10, 2010, the Board of Directors passed Resolution No. 10-14 adopting these charges for customers in the Locke Ranch Area as well as areas outside the District boundaries and electing to have the charges collected on the Fiscal Year 2010/11 tax roll.

PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 2. DISCUSSION ITEMS 2.1. Status Report on Negotiations with OCTA for Lakeview Grade Separation Project. Mr. Conklin reported on the July 6 meeting that he and Eddy Beltran, District Legal Counsel, had with staff of OCTA and their legal counsel. He indicated that OCTA will review YLWD's information provided and discussed in the meeting and respond to YLWD by the end of July with its latest position or offer on payment of costs to relocate YLWD water facilities. Following discussion, the Committee indicated that they will consider contacting members of the OCTA Board regarding the payment issue, depending on the response received from OCTA staff. 2.2. Board Tablet PC Reimbursement Policy Mr. Conklin reported that, at the direction of the Board, staff has developed a draft policy for the acquisition of tablet PCs for the Board to receive and review digital District Board agenda packets and other District documents, in place of receiving paper copies. The Committee reviewed the draft policy. In the ensuing discussion regarding ownership of the device and privacy issues, it was noted that MWD and O.C. Sheriff's Department have tablet PCs for board members and senior staff.

MINUTES OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT MWDOC AND OCWD JOINT AGENCY COMMITTEE MEETING July 26, 2011 A meeting of the YLWD/MWDOC/OCWD Joint Agency Committee was called to order at 4:10 p.m. The meeting was held at the District's Administrative Office at 1717 East Miraloma Avenue, Placentia CA 92870. YLWD COMMITTEE MEMBERS YLWD STAFF Director Michael J. Beverage, Chair Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager MWDOC COMMITTEE MEMBERS MWDOC STAFF Director Brett Barbre Kevin Hunt, General Manager OCWD COMMITTEE MEMBERS OCWD STAFF Director Roger Yoh Mike Markus, General Manager 1. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 2. DISCUSSION ITEMS 2.1. Availability of Replenishment Water Mr. Markus confirmed that MWD has made approximately 200,000 acre feet (AF) of Replenishment Water available to its member agencies, on a first come/first served basis through the end of the calendar year. Mr. Markus stated with confirmation from Director Barbre, that OCWD expressed desire and intent to take 110,000 AF of this surplus water through direct recharge and through in-lieu programs with their member agencies. The Committee members discussed that other MWD agencies also expressed desire to take advantage of this surplus water through various storage programs. However, OCWD is one of the only agencies with adequate funds to pay for this water without borrowing. Mr. Markus stated thus far, OCWD has taken approximately 23,000 AF through direct recharge at MWD's replenishment rate and about 12,000 AF through in- lieu operations by member agencies at a higher rate. This higher rate for in-lieu water is still lower than the full service MWD rate and the Committee discussed the issues MWD has encountered within its member agencies regarding these rates and storage programs. Mr. Markus identified the various MWD connections that make it possible to take water for direct recharge and noted which ones are most efficient with the lowest losses and highest water quality advantages. 1 2.2. Overall Status of Water Supply Various Committee members participated in recounting the excellent water supply conditions for the year, which continue to manifest in reservoir storage gains through MWD's storage facilities, the Colorado River Watershed, on the State Water Project System and in local groundwater basins. Director Beverage expressed concerns that the general public and most water ratepayers expect some relief from recent water rate increases due to this surplus water condition. He expressed his desire to see well-developed talking points that YLWD Board Members, members of the YLWD Citizens Advisory Committee and others in the water community could use to communicate the impacts of the near-term water supply situation, the cyclical water drought conditions experienced in Southern California and the cost factors that are causing the rates to continue to increase instead of decrease with the recent surplus. The Committee members agreed this public relations issue is particularly challenging. 2.3. Groundwater Replenishment System Expansion Mr. Markus reported OCWD received bids for the expansion of the GWRS. The low bid was $115M which is lower than the engineer's estimate. The OCWD Board will consider awarding the contract in September with the expansion operational by 2014. The system will expand the GWRS capacity from 70 MGD to 100 MGD. Director Beverage asked where the additional water will be used and where the primary benefits will be accessible. Mr. Markus reported the basin production percentage (BPP) gains expected along with the associated increase in the replenishment assessment (RA) to pay for the capital and operational costs for these upgrades. He also identified how this local resource would save the local OCWD agencies millions of dollars each year over the cost of imported water and other options. Mr. Hunt asked about the current and historical power costs of operating the existing GWRS and was surprised to hear they were averaging well below forecasts at approximately 8 cents per kilowatt hour. Mr. Markus explained the programs OCWD is involved in to maintain these low costs. 2.4. Proposed Consolidation of MWDOC and OCWD The Committee discussed the proposed consolidation discussions between the OCWD and MWDOC Boards and their respective positions on this concept. While no formal action has been taken, OCWD's Board has directed their staff to review this further. The joint agencies will continue to discuss this matter and may explore alternatives to increase efficiencies through resource sharing. Input from their respective member agencies is anticipated. 2 2.5. Annexation of YLWD to OCWD Mr. Markus reported the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the annexations is expected to hit the streets by the end of this week. Comments will be due by the first part of September. The document is expected to take approximately nine months to one year to complete. 2.6. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks Mr. Vecchiarelli noted that YLWD staff is working on a proposal and cover letter for the OCWD Board to consider on a lease for a new groundwater well on OCWD property. This item may be ready for discussion by the next YLWD-MWDOC-OCWD Joint Agency Committee Meeting. 3. ADJOURNMENT 3.1. The Committee adjourned at 5:10 p.m. The next regular meeting of the YLWD-MWDOC-OCWD Joint Agency Committee will be held September 27, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. 3 ITEM NO. 15.1 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 28, 2011 Subject: Meetings from July 29, 2011 - August 31, 2011 ATTACHMENTS: Name: Dosciiption: Type: BOD - Activities Calendar.pdf BOD Activity Calendar Backup Material Board of Directors Activity Calendar Event Date Time Attendance by: August 2011 Pub Affairs-Communications-Tech Committee Meeting Mon, Aug 1 12:OOPM Hawkins/Melton Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee Meeting Tue, Aug 2 4:OOPM Melton/Collett Yorba Linda City Council Tue, Aug 2 6:30PM Hawkins MWDOC/MWD Workshop Wed, Aug 3 8:30AM Melton/Staff OCWD Board Wed, Aug 3 5:30PM Kiley/Staff Board of Directors Workshop Meeting Thu, Aug 4 6:30PM WACO Fri, Aug 5 7:30AM Hawkins Finance-Accounting Committee Meeting Mon, Aug 8 4:OOPM Collett/Kiley Personnel-Risk Management Committee Meeting Tue, Aug 9 4:OOPM Kiley/Beverage Yorba Linda Planning Commission Wed, Aug 10 7:OOPM Kiley Board of Directors Regular Meeting Thu, Aug 11 8:30AM Exec-Admin-Organizational Committee Meeting Mon, Aug 15 12:OOPM Beverage/Hawkins Yorba Linda City Council Tue, Aug 16 6:30PM Melton MWDOC Board Wed, Aug 17 8:30AM Melton/Staff OCWD Board Wed, Aug 17 5:30PM Kiley/Staff Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting Mon, Aug 22 8:30AM Beverage Yorba Linda Planning Commission Wed, Aug 24 7:OOPM Collett Board of Directors Regular Meeting Thu, Aug 25 8:30AM 7/21/2011 10:02:39 AM
