Members of the Board of Directors
Yorba Linda Water District
Introduction
It is our pleasure to submit Yorba Linda Water District's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014. This report was
prepared pursuant to the guidelines set forth by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB).
District staff prepared this financial report in conjunction with an unqualified opinion
issued by the independent audit firm White, Nelson, Diehl, Evans LLP. The independent
auditor's report is located at the front of the financial section of this document.
Management's discussion and analysis (MD &A) immediately follows the independent
auditor's report and provides a narrative introduction, overview and analysis of the basic
financial statements. MD &A complements this letter of transmittal and should be read in
conjunction with it.
This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of Yorba
Linda Water District. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the
completeness and reliability of the information presented in this report. To provide a
reasonable basis for making these representations, the District has established a
comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the District's
assets from loss, theft or misuse, and to compile sufficient reliable information for the
preparation of the District's financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP). Because the cost of internal control should not outweigh
its benefits, the District's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been
designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the financial
statements will be free from material misstatement. Management asserts that to the
best of our knowledge and belief this financial report is complete and reliable in all
material aspects.
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada
(GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to
the Yorba Linda Water District for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2013. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a
governmental entity must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted
accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for certificate again this year.
District Structure and Leadership
The Yorba Linda Water District is an independent special district, which operates under
the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code. The Yorba Linda Water District
has provided water and sewer services to the residents of the City of Yorba Linda,
portions of Placentia, Brea, Anaheim, and nearby unincorporated areas since 1959, the
year it was formed to take over the assets and water service responsibilities of the
Yorba Linda Water Company, a mutual formed in 1909. The District is governed by a
five - member Board of Directors, elected at large from within the District's service area.
The General Manager administers the day -to -day operations of the District in
accordance with policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors. The
Yorba Linda Water District employs a full -time staff of 77 employees. The District's
Board of Directors meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Meetings
are publicly noticed and citizens are encouraged to attend.
The District provides water, sewer or a combination of both services to residents and
businesses within its service area, which includes approximately 14,475 acres of land
comprising 22.6 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 72,000
and currently provides water service through approximately 24,554 residential,
commercial, and light industrial connections.
District Services
Residential customers make up approximately 92% of the District's customer base and
consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District. The District
obtains about half of its water supply from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD)
through the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) and the other half
from groundwater wells within the area. In FY 2013/14 the District provided 22,614 acre -
feet of water to its customers.
The District's service area is known for having larger than average residential lots and a
network of horse trails spanning over 100 miles in length. In CNN Money's "Best Places
to Live for 2012 ", Yorba Linda was one of four Southern California cities listed. Similarly,
the City of Yorba Linda's median income is 48% greater than the overall median income
for Orange County, as reported by 2010 Census data.
Economic Condition and Outlook
The District's administrative offices are located in the City of Placentia in Orange
County. The economic outlook for the area shows moderate growth, which is projected
to continue with new commercial business and a steadily improving housing market.
District expenses have increased approximately $900,000 per year over the past four
fiscal years, with the fiscal year 2014/15 budget expected to increase an additional
$1,000,000. A primary factor of the increase in these expenses is the cost of water
YLWD pays to the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) for import
water and assessments. MWDOC's cost is primarily based on the cost of water they
must pay to the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). Impacting the
fiscal year 2013/14 budget was an average 4.8 rate increase from MWD, effective
January 1, 2014. An additional 3.7% increase was also adopted and will take effect
January 1, 2015. These rate increases are part of an overall 24% rate increase since
January 1, 2010. As the cost of import water has continued to increase, the cost of
groundwater, purchased from the Orange County Water District (OCWD), has kept
pace. Over the FY 2010/11, FY 2011/12 and FY 2012/13 years, the District averaged
annual sales of 19,907 acre -feet. However, during the 2013/14 fiscal year, the District
sold approximately 2,000 acre -feet more water than anticipated. This amounts to an
increase in water sales revenue of $1.8 million. This increase was the result of calendar
year 2013 being the driest year on record for most of California since 1850. In response
to this and to the California Department of Water Resources snowmelt runoff report for
2014, Governor Brown has announced a Drought State of Emergency for California.
For FY 2014/15 the District's water sales are estimated to be greater than 21,000 acre -
feet, even with 5% voluntary conservation efforts from the District's customer base
being taken into consideration.
As of May 2014, the District was granted annexation of the remaining 26% of its service
area into Orange County Water District (OCWD). It is anticipated that with full
annexation the District will be able to pump the maximum groundwater allowable each
year, at a lower cost than purchasing the same amount of imported water from MWD.
However, the District will not be able to take advantage of full annexation for FY
2014/15 due to the 2003 Conjunctive Use Program (CUP) Agreement and due to the
need to complete construction of capital facilities. The CUP Agreement requires the
District to withdraw 2,193 acre -feet over and above OCWD's Basin Production
Percentage (BPP) for the upcoming fiscal year and pay for the water at current import
water rates, after subtracting power and operations and the maintenance charges of
$132 per acre -foot.
Had the District been able to access the entirety of OCWD's Basin Production
Percentage (BPP) for the fiscal year 2014/15, the District would have been able to lower
its variable water costs by approximately $1.0 million. As variable water costs comprise
approximately 53% of the District's operating expenses, ensuring these costs are held
as low as possible is a top priority each and every fiscal year.
California's water supply continues to be a concern due to projected population
increases, cyclical drought conditions, and environmental and regulatory restrictions
that threaten the State's water supply and conveyance system through the Sacramento -
San Joaquin Delta —all of which lead to increasing supply costs. Within the District's
boundaries, population growth is expected to increase only minimally in the next 5 -10
years, as more than 50% of the current households have children under the age of 18
who are not expected to add to this growth via newborns. Additionally, the District's area
is primarily "built out ", and an influx of residents from outside the area is expected to
remain fairly low. The State of California, however, is expected to grow by 20 million
people over the next 40 years.
Mission/Vision Statement and Major Initiatives
The activities of the Board and staff of the District are driven by its Mission Statement:
"Yorba Linda Water District will provide reliable, high quality water and sewer services in
an environmentally responsible manner, while maintaining an economical cost and
unparalleled customer service to our community," and its Vision Statement: "Yorba
Linda Water District will become the leading, innovative and efficient source for high
quality reliable services." The Mission and Vision Statements dictate the following five
core values of the District.
1. Integrity– We demonstrate integrity every day by practicing the highest ethical
standards and by ensuring that our actions follow our words.
2. Accountability– We acknowledge that both the Board and the staff of the
District are accountable to the public that we serve, as well as to each other.
3. Responsibility– We take full responsibility for our actions- both our successes
and our opportunities for growth. We maintain a commitment of courtesy,
assessment and resolution with all customer concerns.
4. Transparency – We promote a culture where we actively listen to our customers
and communicate openly about our policies, processes, and plans for the future.
5. Teamwork – Success centers on all departments working together and sharing
information and resources to achieve common goals. We are dedicated to
ensuring that every voice of the District, from the Board to each individual
employee is treated with dignity and respect, and that differences are valued and
individual abilities and contributions are recognized.

Major Accomplishments during FY 2013/14
Previously, the Board of Directors approved the FY 2007 -2012 five -year capital
improvement plan totaling $57.7 million. The projects in this plan were identified for
funding with the 2003 and 2008 Series Certificates of Participation (Revenue Bonds), in
combination with annexation funds and other reserves held by the District. These
projects are completed or underway as of the time of preparation of this report.
For fiscal years 2011 through 2015, staff identified projects totaling $37.4 million.
Included in that amount, $4.3 million was spent through the end of fiscal year 2010/11.
The remaining $33.1 million is therefore proposed for consideration by the Board for
Capital Improvement Projects /Capital Replacement Projects (CIP /CRP) that will extend
through fiscal year 2015/16. Approximately $8.5 million of the $33.1 million was spent in
fiscal year 2011/12, $5.8 million in fiscal year 2012/13, and $3.9 million in fiscal year
2013/14 for projects in planning, design and construction. Fiscal year 2013/14 projects
included the following:
Yorba Linda Blvd Booster Pump Station Project
Total Project Budget: $1,898,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $100,000
The project consists of replacing the existing Palm Avenue Booster Pump Station with a
three -pump 5,000 -gpm capacity new pump station at Gun Club Road and Yorba Linda
Blvd. The project will make it possible to deliver more groundwater to the easterly
portion of the District's service area. Construction of the new pump station began in
FY12/13 and will be complete in FY 14/15. Incurred costs through FY 13/14 and
projected costs in FY 14/15 are estimated to be $1,798,000 and $100,000, respectively.
Well #21 Project
Total Project Budget: $2,307,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $940,000
Work began in FY 12/13 on plans for the drilling of the new well. In FY13/14, a test well
was drilled to confirm the quantity and quality of water for the well. Thereafter, the well
was drilled out and completed with a steel casing and pump- tested. Project costs in FY
13/14 and FY 14/15 are estimated to be $1,086,000 and $940,000, respectively. Work
planned for FY 14/15 includes construction of wellhead facilities and a discharge
pipeline.
v
Well #22 Project
Total Project Budget: $2,500,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $445,000
Reconnaissance field investigation and site evaluations started in FY 13/14. In FY14/15,
a site is expected to be determined and the property acquired, at a budgeted cost of
$445,000. Budgeted for FY15/16 is the drilling of the well and the preparation of plans
for well equipping at an estimated cost of $800,000. Budgeted for FY 16/17 is

Total Project Budget: $6,300,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $2,500,000
The project is the refurbishment and upgrading of the Fairmont Booster Station. The
existing 37 -year old booster station will be demolished and its two booster pumps will be
replaced by six, pumping to two different pressure zones. A new building will be
constructed to house the pumps, as well as disinfection, electrical and back -up
generation facilities. The project will also include refurbishment of elements of the
Fairmont Reservoir. Planned for FY14/15 is completion of design plans and the
beginning of construction at an estimated cost of $2.5 million. Construction will continue
in FY 15/16 at an estimated cost of $2.9 million. Part of the cost of the improvements
will be offset by developer - provided funding.
Lakeview Grade Separation Project
Total Project Budget: $600,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $265,000
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the lead agency for a planned
Lakeview Avenue bridge over Orangethorpe Avenue and the adjacent BNSF Railroad
tracks. As part of the project, it will be necessary to replace and relocate the District's
water line currently in Lakeview Avenue through the project area. The District's share of
the pipeline relocation will be $250,000. Construction of the pipeline relocation work is
anticipated to begin mid -2014, with a mid -2015 completion for all utility relocations.
OCTA's bridge construction will follow.
Yorba Linda High School Park Pipeline Relocation Project
Total Project Budget: $370,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $325,000
The proposed Yorba Linda High School Park, within Placentia -Yorba Linda Unified
School District's (PYLUSD) property located south of Yorba Linda High School, includes
proposed grading with nearly 18 -feet of fill over our existing 39 -inch diameter Bryant
Cross Feeder (BCF) pipeline. The BCF pipeline will be unable to support the additional
fill, and must be relocated. Per the Pre - Annexation Agreement with PYLUSD, the
District is responsible for design and construction costs for relocating approximately 530
lineal feet of the BCF pipeline, at an estimated cost of $370,000. This work is
anticipated to start late summer 2014 and be completed by late 2014.

Deville Drive in accordance with a previous Agreement and payment made by a Deville
Drive property owner. Staff completed the design in -house during FY 13/14. Installation
is anticipated to be complete during FY 14/15.
Timber Ridge Booster Station Rehabilitation
Total Project Budget: $250,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $240,000
Timber Ridge Booster Station is undersized and needs additional emergency pumping
capacity. Staff will evaluate the least cost method to install a new gas engine enclosed
with a new building, or install a new electric generator and possibly upsizing one or
more of the existing pumps.
Future PRS Rehabilitation
Total Project Budget: $1,430,000 Proposed FY 14/15 Budget: $100,000
The District will solicit proposals for design and rehabilitation upgrades of the existing
Pressure Reducing Stations (PRS) that require frequent maintenance, and do not meet
current District standards. Design work will be completed during FY 14/15 and
construction is anticipated to be complete during FY 15/16.

Future Years
Amidst the national economic conditions and the Governor's state declaration of
Drought Water Emergency, our region continues to face water supply issues due to
extended drought seasons, as well as judicial, environmental and regulatory restrictions.
First and foremost, we continue to monitor the State's mandated water conservation
restrictions and potential shift of our property tax revenues. Secondly, with water
conservation and reduced water sales, our ability to maintain a high level of services
while holding costs down, has been seriously challenged.
Water Rate & Increases
In FY 2013/14, YLWD charged a uniform commodity rate of $2.64 per unit and a
monthly fixed charge based on the size of the meter. Meters sized 5/8 and 3/4 inch
were charged $8.08, 1 inch meters were charged $14.67, 1 '/2 inch meters were
charged $29.34, 2 inch meters were charged $46.94, 3 inch meters were charged
$102.67, 4 inch meters were charged $187.80 and 6 inch meters were charged
$410.67. One unit of water equals 748 gallons, equating one gallon of water to a cost of
approximately $0.0035 (one third of a cent). At an average of 30 units of water per
month (approximately 22,500 gallons), a typical 1 inch metered YLWD customer would
pay about $ 93.87 on the average for their monthly water bill. YLWD also provided
wastewater service to all 24,796 of the District's water customer base in fiscal year
2013/14, at a charge of $5.50 per month. The District also provided sewer service to
approximately 1,400 customers that it does not provide water to. These customers, in
the "Locke Ranch" area of Yorba Linda, are served by a private water company —
Golden State Water Company.
These rates are the result of a Cost of Service Analysis and Alternative Water Rate
Feasibility Study in fiscal year 2011/12, which addressed the impacts of implementing a
tiered water conservation rate structure and /or a budget -based water rate structure for
customers of the District. The result of this study was a three -year rate increase to
customers on the Monthly Service Charge, approved by the Yorba Linda Water District
Board of Directors. The approved rate increase is a percentage on the District's overall
viii
revenue and consists of a 1.5% revenue increase beginning on July 1, 2012, a 2.5%
increase beginning on July 1, 2013, and a 2.5% increase beginning on July 1, 2014.
These increases will assist in covering the costs associated with operating, maintaining
and replacing the District's water facilities. The District will also be passing through to
customers any future increases on the commodity charge from its water suppliers as
these charges are based on the amount of water sold.
In conjunction with this rate increase, the Board of Directors recommended that staff
pursue a line of credit with Wells Fargo for $7 million with a 3 -year renewable term and
an interest rate based on 1 month London Inter -Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), currently
calculated at 1.10 %. The line of credit will allow the District to pursue future capital
improvement projects with a minimal borrowing cost and a lowered financial burden to
our customers.
The District also issued Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2012A, which advance
refunded the 2003 Certificates of Participation (COP) Bonds. This is estimated to save
approximately $80,000 annually.
In FY 2014/15, Yorba Linda Water District faces many challenges related to water
supply and demand. The District's water supply is currently derived from both
groundwater and import water, approximately 50% from each source. Both import and
groundwater prices have dramatically increased over the past four fiscal years, and it is
anticipated that costs will continue to increase as supplies become more strained from
projected population increases, cyclical drought conditions, and environmental and
regulatory restrictions.
Enhanced Outreach & Communications
The District continues to enhance its communications with and presence within the
community. Within the FY 2013/14 Budget, the District funded a Public Information
Officer position and one part -time Public Affairs Intern positions. The Public Affairs
division of the Administration department develops and disseminates information to the
public and supports water conservation programs with the overall goal of developing a
more transparent image of the District to the community.
The District's Citizens Advisory Committee, made up of local residents, who serve as
ambassadors to the community, meet with District staff on a monthly basis to discuss
and provide recommendations on various pending District issues. The committee has
been actively involved with issues such as the water rate increase, the water
conservation ordinance, continuing conservation outreach, public information, and
various other matters as they arise. In November 2010, three Citizens Advisory
Committee members ran for, and won election to seats on the District Board of
Directors. Those three seats will be up for re- election in November 2014.
ix
Technological Advancements in Progress
Technological advancements include the incorporation of a Computerized Maintenance
& Management System (CMMS), which automates and tracks field work orders and
provide actual costs to perform work -order related functions. In planning is an
Automated Purchase Requisitioning System, which will provide better workflow and
approvals for purchasing items, as well as have direct integration with the new financial
software.
Internal Control Structure
District management is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the
internal control structure that ensures the assets of the District are protected from loss,
theft or misuse. The internal control structure also ensures adequate accounting data is
compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The District's internal control structure is designed to
provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely
to be derived, and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and
judgments by management.
Budgetary Control
The District Board of Directors adopts an operating and capital budget every year. The
budget authorizes and provides the basis for reporting and control of financial
operations and accountability for the District's enterprise operations and capital projects.
The budget and reporting treatment applied to the District is consistent with the accrual
basis of accounting and the financial statement basis.
Cash and Investment Management
In order of priority, the District's objectives when investing, reinvesting, purchasing,
acquiring, selling and managing public funds are as follows:
1. Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments made by the District are undertaken in a manner that seeks to
ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective,
diversification is required to prevent any potential loss on any individual security
or depository from exceeding the income generated from the remainder of the
portfolio.
2. Liquidity: The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the
District to meet all operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated.
3. Return on Investments: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the
objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic
cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints and the cash flow
characteristics of the portfolio.
Audit and Financial Reporting
State Law and Bond covenants require the District to obtain an annual audit of its
financial statements by an independent certified public accountant. The accounting firm
of White, Nelson, Diehl, Evans LLP has conducted the audit of the District's financial
statements. Their unqualified (clean) Independent Auditor's Report appears in the
Financial Section.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Yorba Linda Water District
Placentia, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Yorba Linda Water District (the District),
as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the District's financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the State Controller's Minimum Audit
Requirements for California Special Districts. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the District's
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the District's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of Yorba Linda Water District, as of June 30, 2014, and the respective
changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as the accounting
systems prescribed by the State Controller's Office and State regulations governing Special Districts.
Other Matters
Partial Summarized Comparative Information
The financial statements include partial year comparative information. Such information does not
include all of the information required to constitute a presentation in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should
be read in conjunction with the District's financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2013 from
which such partial information was derived.
Report on Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management's discussion and analysis and other post - employment benefit plan - schedule of funding
progress, as identified in the accompanying table of contents as required supplementary information,
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to
the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of
preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during the
audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the
information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an
opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the District's financial statements. The introductory section, supplementary
information consisting of combining schedules, schedule of operating expenses by cost center and
nature of expenses for water and sewer, schedule of capital assets and statistical section, as listed in the
table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements.
-2-
Other Matters (Continued)
Other Information (Continued)
The combining schedules, schedule of operating expenses by cost center and nature of expenses for
water and sewer and schedule of capital assets, as listed in the table of contents, are the responsibility
of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the combining schedules, schedule of operating expenses by cost center and
nature of expenses for water and sewer and schedule of capital assets are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The introductory section and statistical section have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion or
provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
September 12, 2014 on our consideration of the District's internal control over financial reporting and
on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant
agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to
provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering
the District's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended June 30, 2014
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis ( "MD &A ") of activities and financial
performance of the Yorba Linda Water District ( "District ") provides an introduction to the financial
statements of the District for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. We encourage readers to consider the
information presented here in conjunction with the transmittal letter in the Introductory Section and
with the basic financial statements and related notes, which follow this section.
Financial Highlights
• The District's net position increased by $6 million, or a 3.7% increase in net position.
a During the year the District's revenues were $34.1 million, up 10.1%.
• During the year, the District's expenses were $35.1 million, up 3.8 %.
Required Financial Statements
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position,
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position and Statement of Cash Flows provide
information about the activities and performance of the District using accounting methods similar to
those used by private sector companies.
The District's statements consist of two funds; the Water Fund and the Sewer Fund. The District's
records are maintained on an enterprise basis, as it is the intent of the Board of Directors that the costs
of providing water and sewer to the customer of the District are financed primarily through user
charges.
The Statement of Net Position includes all of the District's investments in resources (assets), deferred
outflows of resources, obligations to creditors (liabilities) and deferred inflow of resources. It also
provides the basis for computing a rate of return, evaluating the capital structure of the District and
assessing the liquidity and financial flexibility of the District. All of the current year's revenue and
expenses are accounted for in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. This
statement measures the success of the District's operations over the past year and can be used to
determine if the District has successfully recovered all of its costs through its rates and other charges.
This statement can also be used to evaluate profitability and credit worthiness. The final required
financial statement is the Statement of Cash Flows, which provides information about the District's
cash receipts and cash payments during the reporting period. The Statement of Cash Flows reports cash
receipts, cash payments and net changes in cash resulting from operations, investing, non - capital
financing, and capital and related financing activities and provides answers to such questions as where
did cash come from, what was cash used for, and what was the change in cash balance during the
reporting period.
See independent auditors' report.

YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(CONTINUED)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2014
Financial Analysis of the District
One of the most important questions asked about the District's finances is, "Is the District better off or
worse off as a result of this year's activities ?" The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position report information about the District in a way that
helps answer this question. These statements include all assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to
the accounting used by most private sector companies. All of the current year's revenues and expenses
are taken into account regardless of when the cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the District's net position and changes in them. You can think of the
District's net position (the difference between assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources), as one way to measure the District's financial health, or financial
position. Over time, increases or decreases in the District's net position is one indicator of whether its
financial health is improving or deteriorating. However, one will need to consider other non - financial
factors such as changes in economic conditions, population growth, zoning and new or changed
government legislation, such as changes in Federal and State water quality standards.
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the basic financial statements. The notes to the basic financial statements can be found on pages 19
through 46.
See independent auditors' report.

As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial
position. In the case of the District, assets and deferred outflows of resources of the District exceeded
liabilities by $167.8 million and $161.7 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
By far the largest portion of the District's net position (96% and 100% as of June 30, 2014 and 2013,
respectively) reflects the District's investment in capital assets (net of accumulated depreciation) less
any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The District uses these capital
assets to provide services to customers within the District's service area; consequently, these assets are
not available for future spending.
For the year ended June 30, 2014, the District showed a positive balance in its unrestricted net position
of $6.6 million, which indicates that there are reserves to be utilized in future years, which is a
significant improvement from the stated balance of $232 thousand for the year ended June 30, 2013.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
(CONTINUED)
For the Year Ended June 30, 2014
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes of net position shows how the District's net position
changed during the fiscal years. In the case of the District, net position increased by $6 million and
decreased by $1.8 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
A closer examination of the sources of changes in net position reveals that:
In 2014, the District's total revenues increased by $3.1 million, primarily due to an increase in water
sales of $2.0 million as a result of a warm weather patterns and the lack of rain over the course of the
year and an increase in non - operating other income of $736 thousand due to recorded gains for the sale
of assets. Total expenses increased by $1.3 million primarily due to increased variable water costs of
$2.0 million due to increased water purchases. In addition, the District recorded a receipt of funds from
the resolution of a claim as an Extraordinary Item in the amount of $5 million.
In 2013, the District's total revenues increased by $933 thousand, primarily due to an increase in water
sales of $1.3 million as a result of a warmer summer than the two previous years and an improving
economy. In addition, total expenses increased by $2.6 million primarily due to increased variable
water costs of $1.2 million due to increased water purchases and an overall increase of $950 thousand
in the remaining operating expense categories.

YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
a. Organization and Description of the Reporting Entity:
The Yorba Linda Water District (the District) is an independent special district established
in 1959, which operates under the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code for the
purpose of providing water and sewer services to the properties within the District. The
District is governed by a five member board of Directors elected by the voters in the area to
four -year terms. The District provides two services which include Water and Sewer. Water is
provided to the entire service area. Sewer is provided to about two - thirds of the service area.
The District's service area includes Yorba Linda and portions of Placentia, Anaheim, Brea, and
areas of unincorporated Orange County. The District provides water service to approximately
73,990 residents and sewer service to approximately 72,498 residents.
The financial statements present the District and its component units. The District is the
primary government unit. Component units are those entities which are financially
accountable to the primary government, either because the District appoints a voting majority
or the component unit's board, or because the component unit will provide a financial benefit
or impose a financial burden on the District.
The District's reporting entity includes the Yorba Linda Water District Public Financing
Corporation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, formed in July 2003 for the
purpose of providing assistance to the District and other public agencies in the State of
California of which the District is a member, or is otherwise engaged with in the financing,
refinancing, acquiring, constructing and rehabilitating of facilities, land and equipment, in the
sale or leasing of facilities, land and equipment for the use, benefit and enjoyment of the public
served by such agencies and any other purpose incidental thereto). Although the District and
the Public Facilities Corporation are legally separate entities, the District's Board of Directors
is financially responsible for the Public Financing Corporation and, therefore, the
accompanying financial statements include the accounts and records of the Public Financing
Corporation using the blending method as required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. There are no separate financial statements for the Public
Financing Corporation.
b. Basic Financial Statements:
The basic financial statements are comprised of the Statements of Net Position, the Statements
of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position, the Statements of Cash Flows and the
notes to the basic financial statements.
See independent auditors' report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
c. Basis of Presentation:
The accounts of the District are an enterprise fund. An enterprise fund is a Proprietary type
fund used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to
private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses,
including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing
basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body
has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net
income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control,
accountability or other purposes.
d. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting:
Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions are recorded within the
various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to "when" transactions are recorded
regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accompanying financial statements are
reported using the economic resources measurement focus, and the accrual basis of accounting.
Under the economic measurement focus all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities
and deferred inflows of resources (whether current or noncurrent) associated with these
activities are included on the Statement of Net Position. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses
and Changes in Net Position present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net
position. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and
expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash
flows.
e. New Accounting Pronouncements:
Current Year Standards:
GASB 66 - "Technical Corrections, an amendment of GASB Statement No. 10 and Statement
No. 62 ", required to be implemented in the current fiscal year did not impact the District.
GASB 70 - "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees",
required to be implemented in the current fiscal year did not impact the District.
See independent auditors' report.

Changes in fair value that occur during a fiscal year are recognized as investment income
reported for that fiscal year. Investment income includes interest earnings, changes in fair
value, and any gains or losses realized upon the liquidation or sale of investments.
h. Accounts Receivable:
The District extends credit to customers in the normal course of operations. Management has
evaluated the accounts and believes they are all collectible. Management evaluates all
accounts receivable and if it is determined that they are uncollectible they are written off as a
bad debt expense. A charge of $29,632 was made to bad debt expense for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2014.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
i. Prepaid Expenses:
Certain payments to vendors reflects costs or deposits applicable to future accounting periods
and are recorded as prepaid items in the basic financial statements.
j. Inventory:
Inventory consists primarily of materials and supplies used in the construction and
maintenance of the water and sewer systems and are stated at cost using the average -cost
method on a first in, first out basis.
k. Capital Assets:
Capital assets acquired and/or constructed are capitalized at historical cost. District policy has
set the capitalization threshold for reporting capital assets at $5,000. Contributed assets are
recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of contribution. Upon retirement or other
disposition of capital assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from
the respective balances and any gains or losses are recognized.
Depreciation is recorded on the straight -line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets
as follows:
Source of Supply
30 to 75 years
Pumping Plant
20 to 40 years
Water Treatment Plant
12 to 40 years
Sewer Plant
5 to 60 years
Transmission and Distribution Plant
10 to 40 years
General Plant
3 to 40 years
1. Interest Expense:
The District incurs interest charges on the Line of Credit and Certificates of Participation.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
m. Deferred Outflows /Inflows of Resources:
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred ou flows of
resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to future periods and so will
not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then. The District has one item
that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is the deferred loss on refunding reported in the
Statement of Net Position. A deferred loss on refunding results from the difference in the
carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and
amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section
for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows
of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and will not
be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The District does not have
any applicable deferred inflows of resources.
n. Compensated Absences:
The District's policy is to permit employees to accumulate earned vacation and sick leave. The
liability for vested vacation and sick leave is recorded as an expense when earned. Employees
may carry forward up to one and one -half years of earned vacation days and an unlimited
number of sick leave days.
Upon termination or retirement, permanent employees are entitled to receive compensation at
their current base salary for all unused vacation leave except for those employees that have not
completed the probationary period.
Permanent employees that retire in accordance with the Public Employee's Retirement System
qualifications are entitled to receive cash compensation at their current base salary for
three - eighths of all unused sick leave and the remaining five- eighths of the unused sick leave is
contributed to the employee's PERS account. The District has accrued 100% of the unused
sick leave as a liability as it expects most employees to meet the PERS requirements when
retiring or leaving the District.
o. Construction Advances and Deposits:
Construction deposits are collected by the District to cover the cost of construction projects
within the District. Funds in excess of project costs are refunded to the customer.
See independent auditors' report.

p. Construction Bonding Deposits:
The District's policy is to maintain certain bonding requirements for water and sewer
construction projects performed within District boundaries to ensure the proper completion of
the project. Deposited amounts are refunded upon final approval of the project.
q. Unearned Revenue:
Unearned revenue consists of customer refunds that have not been cashed and prepaid
connection fees. Connection fees are collected by the District to cover the cost of service
connections within the District. Funds in excess of connection costs are refunded to the
customer.
r. Unearned Annexation Revenue:
The District collects a fee from newly annexed developments for all residential and
commercial properties. This fee is in -lieu of the District's share of the I% property tax revenue
which the District no longer received post- Proposition 13. The fee is a present worth value
required to generate a forty year revenue stream equivalent to the lost property tax revenue. It
is calculated based on the fair market value estimate of the improved property at the time the
fee is collected and based on the current rate of return on the District's investments. The
deposit balance accrues interest and provides a source of operational revenue for the District.
This unearned revenue source may be used for capital facilities in the future if approved by the
Board.
s. Net Position:
In the Statement of Net Position, net position is classified in the following categories:
• Net investment in capital assets - This amount consists of capital assets net of accumulated
depreciation and reduced by outstanding debt that is attributed to the acquisition,
construction, or improvement of the assets.
• Restricted net position - This amount is restricted by external creditors, grantors,
contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments.
• Unrestricted net position - This amount is all net position that does not meet the definition
of "net investment in capital assets" or "restricted net position ".

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):
t. Net Position Flow Assumptions:
Sometimes the District will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted
(e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the
amounts to report as restricted - net position and unrestricted - net position in the Statement of
Net Position, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are
considered to be applied.
It is the District's practice to consider restricted - net position to have been depleted before
unrestricted - net position is applied.
u. Operating Revenues and Expenses:
Operating revenues, such as charges for services (water sales and sewer service charges) result
from exchange transactions associated with the principal activity of the District. Nonoperating
revenues, such as property taxes and assessments, and investment income, result from
nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities in which the District receives value without
directly giving equal value in exchange.
Operating expenses include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses and
depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating expenses.
v. Property Taxes and Assessments:
The Orange County Assessor's Office assesses all real and personal property within the County
each year. The Orange County Tax Collector's Office bills and collects the District's share of
property taxes and assessments. The Orange County Treasurer's Office remits current and
delinquent property tax collections to the District throughout the year. Property taxes in
California are levied in accordance with Article XIIIA of the State Constitution at 1% of
countywide assessed valuations. This levy is allocated pursuant to state law to the appropriate
units of local governments.

customers each month.
x. Capital Contributions:
Capital contributions represent cash and capital asset additions contributed to the District by
property owners or real estate developers desiring services that require capital expenditures or
capacity commitment.
y. Budgetary Policies:
The District adopts annual nonappropriated budget for planning, control and evaluation
purposes. Budgetary control and evaluation are affected by comparisons of actual revenues
and expenses with planned revenues and expenses for the period. Encumbrance accounting is
not used to account for commitments related to unperformed contracts for construction and
services.
z. Use of Estimates:
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, include amounts that are based on
management's best estimates and judgments. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the
estimates.

Investments of debt proceeds held by bond trustees are governed by provisions of the debt
agreements, rather than the general provisions of the California Government Code or the District's
investment policy. The table below identifies the investment types that are authorized for
investments held by bond trustees. The table also identifies certain provisions of these debt

Disclosures Relating to Interest Rate Risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value
of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of
its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the District manages its
exposure to interest rate risk is by purchasing a combination of shorter term and longer term
investments and by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing
or coming close to maturity as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for
operations.

2. CASH AND INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):
Concentration of Credit Risk:
The investment policy of the District contains no limitations on the amount that can be invested in
any one issuer beyond that stipulated by the California Government Code with the exception of
banker's acceptances, commercial paper and money market funds which are limited to an
investment in any one issuer of 5 %, 5% and 10 %, respectively.
Custodial Credit Risk:
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial
institution, the District will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for
investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker - dealer) to a
transaction, the District will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral
securities that are in the possession of another party. With respect to investments, custodial credit
risk generally applies only to direct investments in marketable securities. Custodial credit risk does
not apply to a local government's indirect investment in securities through the use of mutual funds
or government investment pools (such as LAIF and Ca1TRUST Investment Pool).
The California Government Code and the District's investment policy do not contain legal or
policy requirements that would limit the exposure to custodial credit risk for deposits or
investments, other than the following provision for deposits: The California Government Code
requires that a financial institution secure deposits made by state or local governmental units by
pledging securities in an undivided collateral pool held by a depository regulated under state law
(unless so waived by the governmental unit). The market value of the pledged securities in the
collateral pool must equal at least 110% of the total amount deposited by the public agencies.
California law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by pledging first trust
deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the secured public deposits.
As of June 30, 2014, all of the District's deposits with financial institutions were covered by
federal depository insurance limits or were held in collateralized accounts.
Investment in State Investment Pool:
The District is a voluntary participant in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) that is
regulated by California Government Code Section 16429 under the oversight of the Treasurer of
the State of California. The fair value of the District's investment in this pool is reported in the
accompanying financial statements at amounts based upon the District's prorate share of the fair
value provided by LAIF for the entire LAIF portfolio (in relation to the amortized cost of that
portfolio). The balance available for withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by
LAIF, which are recorded on an amortized cost basis.

Investment in Ca1TRUST Investment Pool:
Ca1TRUST is a Joint Powers Agency Authority created by local public agencies to provide a
convenient method for local public agencies to pool their assets for investment purposes.
Ca1TRUST is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of experienced local agency treasurers and
investment officers. The Board sets overall policies for the program and selects and supervises the
activities of the investment manager and other agents. Ca1TRUST maintains and administers four
pooled accounts within the program: Money Market, Short-Term, Medium -Term and Long -Term.
The Money Market account permits daily transactions, with same -day liquidity (provided
redemption requests are received by 1:00 p.m. Pacific time), with no limit on the amount of funds
that may be invested. The Short-Term account permits an unlimited number of transactions per
month (with prior day notice), with no limit on the amount of funds that may be invested. The
Medium- and Long -Term accounts permit investments, withdrawals and transfers once per month,
with five days advance notice. All Ca1TRUST accounts comply with the limits and restrictions
placed on local agency investments by the California Government Code. CalTRUST imposes a
$250,000 minimum investment; however, there is no maximum limit. The fair value of the
District's investment in this pool is reported in the accompanying financial statements at amounts
based upon the District's percentage interest of the fair value provided by Ca1TRUST for the
Ca1TRUST accounts (in relation to the amortized cost of that portfolio). The balance available for
withdrawal is based on the accounting records maintained by Ca1TRUST.

In September 2012, the District issued $8,330,000 of Revenue Refunding Certificates of
Participation, Series 2012A. The 2012A Certificates were issued to provide funds (1) to advance
refund all of the currently outstanding District Certificates of Participation Series 2003 and (2) to
pay costs of issuance of the 2012A Bonds. The District completed the refunding to reduce its total
debt service payments over the next 21 years by over $1.72 million, resulting in an economic gain
(difference between the present value of the old and new debt service payments) of over
$1.32 million. The 2003 Certificates were paid off in October 2012.
The Certificates bear interest ranging from 2% to 5 %, payable semiannually on April 1 and
October 1.
The Certificates are obligations of the Corporation payable solely from payments received from
the District pursuant to the Installment Purchase Agreement, by and between the District and the
Corporation. The Installment Purchase Agreement requires the District to fix, prescribe and collect
rates and charges for the water service which will be at least sufficient to yield during each fiscal
year net revenues equal to 110% of the debt service for such fiscal year. For fiscal year 2014, the
net revenues equal to 230% of the debt service.
The Certificates of Participation are subject to federal arbitrage regulations. The District has no
arbitrage calculation due until September 2017.

6. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB):
a. Plan Description:
The District, through a single employer defined benefit plan, provides post - employment health
care benefits. Specifically, the District provides health (medical, dental and vision) insurance
for its retired employees and directors, their dependent spouses (if married and covered on the
District's plan at time of retirement), or survivors in accordance with Board resolutions.
Medical coverage is provided for retired employees who are age 50 or over and who have a
minimum of 5 years service with the District. The District pays 100% of the premium for the
retiree and two- thirds of the premium amount for eligible dependents accrued at a rate of one
year for every three years of service. Two - thirds of the premium amount of medical coverage
is provided for the surviving spouse of retired employees for the remaining vested period. The
plan does not provide a publicly available financial report.
b. Funding Policy:
The contribution requirements of plan members and the District are established and may be
amended by the District, District's Board of Directors, and/or the employee associations.
Currently, contributions are not required from plan members. The District has established a
trust to fund future OBEP benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2014, the District made a
contribution of $187,756 to the OPEB trust.
c. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Asset:
The District's annual OPEB cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required
contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with
parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an
ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and to amortize any unfunded
liabilities of the plan over a period not to exceed thirty years.
The following table shows the components of the District's annual OPEB cost for the year, the
amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the District's net OPEB obligation to
the Retiree Health Plan:

As of July 1, 2013, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the plan was 28.36 percent funded.
The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $1,896,791, and the actuarial value of assets was
$537,913, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $1,358,878. Assets
were valued using a five year smoothing formula with a 20% corridor around market value.
The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $5,200,000
and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 26.13 %.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about rates of employee turnover, retirement, mortality, as well as economic
assumptions regarding claim costs per retiree, healthcare inflation and interest rates. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations
and new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as
required supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents
multi -year trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or
decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

6. OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (OPEB) (CONTINUED):
e. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions:
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the
plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits
provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs
between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions
used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in
actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long -term
perspective of the calculations. In the July 1, 2013 actuarial valuation, the entry age normal
cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included an inflation rate of 2.75% per
annum, an investment return of 7.25% per annum, a projected salary increase of 2.75% per
annum and a health inflation rate of 4.0% per annum. The District is using the level
percentage of payroll method to allocate amortization cost by year and a closed 30 year period
for the initial unfunded actuarial accrued liability and an open 30 year amortization for any
residual unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities.
7. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN:
a. Plan Description:
The District participates in the 2.0% at 55, 2.0% at 60 (effective for new hires after
December 22, 2011) and 2.0% at 62 Risk Pools of the California Employees Retirement System
(Ca1PERS), a cost sharing multiple - employer defined benefit pension plan. Ca1PERS provides
retirement and disability benefits, annual cost -of- living adjustments, and death benefits to plan
members and beneficiaries. Ca1PERS acts as a common investment and administrative agent
for participating public entities within the State of California. Benefit provisions and all other
requirements are established by State statute and District ordinance. Copies of Ca1PERS'
annual financial report may be obtained from their Executive Office located at, 400 P Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814.
b. Funding Policy:
The contribution rate for plan members in the CalPERS 2.0% at 55, and 2.0% at 60 Risk Pool
Retirement Plans is 7% of their annual covered salary. Management, supervisory and
confidential employees pay 5% of the required 7% contribution. The District contributes the
remaining 2% on their behalf and for their account. Bargaining unit employees pay 4% of the
required contribution. The District contributes the remaining 3% on behalf and for their
account. As of July 1, 2014, all employees will contribute the full 7% of the employee
contribution. Also, the District is required to contribute the actuarially determined remaining
amounts necessary to fund the benefits for its members. The required employer contribution
rates are equal to the annual pension cost (APC) percentage of payroll for fiscal year 2014,
2013 and 2012.

7. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN:
b. Funding Policy (Continued):
Upon the implementation of the California Employees' Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) on
January 1, 2013, the 2.0% at 62 Risk Pool Retirement Plan was created and is open to all new
employees who do not qualify for the 2.0% at 60 Risk Pool Retirement Plan. Active plan
members are required to contribute 6.25% of their annual covered salary, which is paid by the
employees and is equal to the required employer contribution rates. The required employer
contribution rates are equal to the annual pension cost (APC) percentage of payroll for fiscal
year 2014.
The contribution requirements of the plan members are established by State statute, and the
employer contribution rate is established and may be amended by Ca1PERS.
For fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 the District's annual employer's contributions for

9. RISK MANAGEMENT:
The District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, theft of, damage to and destruction
of assets, errors and omissions, injuries to employees and natural disasters. In an effort to manage
its risk exposure, the District is a member of the Association of California Water Agencies Joint
Powers Insurance Authority (the Authority).
The Authority is a risk - pooling self - insurance authority, created under provisions of California
Government Code Sections 6500 et. seq. The purpose of the Authority is to arrange and administer
programs of insurance for the pooling of self - insured losses and to purchase excess insurance
coverage.
At June 30, 2014, as a member of the Authority, the District participated in the insurance programs
as follows:
• General and auto liability, public officials and employee's error and omissions: Total risk
financing self - insurance limits of $2,000,000, combined single limit at $2,000,000 per
occurrence. The Authority purchases additional excess coverage layers: $58 million for
general, auto and public officials liability, which increases the limits on the insurance
coverage noted above.
• Employee dishonesty coverage up to $100,000 per loss includes public employee
dishonesty, forgery or alteration and theft, disappearance and destruction coverages, subject
to a $1,000 deductible per occurrence.
• Property loss is paid at the replacement cost for property on file, if replaced within two
years after the loss, otherwise paid on an actual cash value basis. The District's
Retrospective Allocation Point (deductible) is $25,000 per occurrence. The Authority is
self - insured for the first $100,000, and purchases excess coverage up to $100 million
limited to insurable value, subject to a $1,000 deductible, except for a $500 deductible on
vehicles.
See independent auditors' report.

June 30, 2014
9. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED):
• Boiler and machinery coverage for the replacement cost up to $100 million per occurrence
limited to insurable value, subject to various deductibles depending on the type of
equipment.
• Workers' compensation insurance up to California statutory limits for all work related
injuries /illnesses covered by California law. The Authority is self - insured to $2,000,000
and has purchased excess insurance to the statutory limit.
Settled claims have not exceeded any of the coverage amounts in any of the last three fiscal years
and there were no reductions in the District's insurance coverage during the years ended 2014,
2013 and 2012. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated net of the respective insurance coverage.
Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR). There
were no claims payable as of June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
10. PRE - ANNEXATION AGREEMENT:
In June 2008, the District entered into a pre - annexation agreement with Placentia Yorba Linda
Unified School District (PYLUSD) whereby the District intends to provide access to water and
sewer service to the PYLUSD for the benefit of a property that PYLUSD wishes to develop for
public high school use. Per the agreement, PYLUSD agreed to fund additional District reservoir
improvements equal to the cost of constructing additional 450,000 gallons of reservoir storage.
The cost for the additional water storage was estimated to be approximately $1.50 per gallon,
resulting in a total approximate cost of $675,000. PYLUSD paid the District $32,500 within
30 days of execution of the agreement. The remaining balance is payable over a nine -year period
at an annual interest rate of 4 %. Annual payments of $81,704, which include principal and interest,
started in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. The remaining outstanding balance at June 30, 2014
was $296,581. As of June 30, 2014 the District reservoir improvements are still in progress. The
District has not yet completed its obligation in its entirety and has not earned the rights to the entire
amount. Therefore, the outstanding balance is not recorded in the District's books.

In 2008, a firestorm known as the Freeway Complex Fire, the largest wildfire in the County in half
a century, resulted in the destruction of several homes served by the District. Certain homeowners
sued the District, alleging that the water system failed to provide sufficient water for fire protection
purposes. The District's excess liability insurers denied coverage for the Freeway Complex Fire
lawsuit.
In June 2012, with no admission of liability, the District and ACWA JPIA paid $10,000,000 (the
"Settlement Amount ") as part of a settlement with the plaintiff - homeowners. The District's
portion of the settlement amount was $5,000,000, which was paid from District reserves. As part
of the settlement, the lawsuit was referred to a third -party neutral who awarded damages in favor of
some plaintiff - homeowners. Under the settlement, the successful plaintiff - homeowners will
attempt to recover their awards in a separate lawsuit against the District's excess liability insurers,
but will not pursue further recovery from the District.

We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the Yorba Linda
Water District (the District) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and the related notes to the
financial statements, which collectively comprise the District's financial statements and have issued
our report thereon dated September 12, 2014.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the District's internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the District's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the District's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by
those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify
any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the District's financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on
compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express
such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that
are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
District's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the District's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Board of Directors
Yorba Linda Water District
Placentia, California
We have audited the financial statements of the Yorba Linda Water District for the year ended
June 30, 2014, and have issued our report thereon dated September 12, 2014. Professional standards
require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted
auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, as well as certain information related to the
planned scope and timing of our audit. We have communicated such information in our engagement
letter dated April 22, 2014 and our meeting on planning matters on July 29, 2014. Professional
standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Significant Audit Findings
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The
significant accounting policies used by the Yorba Linda Water District are described in Note 1 to the
financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies
was not changed during the year. We noted no transactions entered into by the District during the year
for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been
recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are
based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions
about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their
significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them
may differ significantly from those expected.
The most sensitive estimates affecting the financial statements were:
a. Management's estimate of the fair market value of investments which is based on market
values provided by outside sources.
b. The estimated useful lives of capital assets for depreciation purposes which are based on
industry standards.
c. The value of the capital assets received as a contribution from developers was based on the
developer's acquisition cost.
d. The annual required contribution for the District's Other Post - Employment Benefits was
prepared by an outside consultant.

Significant Audit Findings (Continued)
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices (Continued)
We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used to develop these estimates in determining that they
were reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. The most sensitive disclosures affecting the financial statements were
reported in Note 6 to the financial statements regarding the annual required contribution and the
actuarial liability for the District's Other Post - Employment Benefits, Note 7 regarding the defined
benefit pension plan, and Note 11 regarding the settlement of the Freeway Complex Fire case.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing
our audit.
Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during
the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of
management. Management has corrected all such misstatements. The following material misstatements
detected as a result of audit procedures were corrected by management:
a. The accounts payable balance was adjusted to reflect the balance in the detail schedule.
b. The unbilled receivable balance was adjusted to correct the calculation of the amount.
Disagreements with Management
For purposes of this letter, professional standards define a disagreement with management as a
financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that
could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no
such disagreements arose during the course of our audit.
Management Representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management
representation letter dated September 12, 2014.
Management Consultations with Other Independent Accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation
involves application of an accounting principle to the District's financial statements or a determination
of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards
require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant
facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.

Significant Audit Findings (Continued)
Other Audit Findings or Issues
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the District's auditors. However,
these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses
were not a condition to our retention.
Other Matters
We applied certain limited procedures to management's discussion and analysis and OPEB schedule of
funding progress, which are required supplementary information (RSI) that supplement the financial
statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance
on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on combining schedule of net position, combining schedule of revenues,
expenses and changes in net position, combining schedule of cash flows, schedule of operating
expenses by cost center and nature of expenses for water and sewer, and schedule of capital assets,
which accompany the financial statements but are not RSI. With respect to this supplementary
information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods
of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from
the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the
financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We were not engaged to report on the introductory and statistical sections, which accompany the
financial statements but are not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other
information and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
Restriction on Use
This information is intended solely for the use of the Board of Directors and management of the Yorba
Linda Water District and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these
specified parties.

SUMMARY:
T. Rowe Price requires a Permanent Resolution of the Board of Directors to authorize individuals to act

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 14 -14 Certifying Individuals Authorized to Act on Behalf
of the District Relating to Employee Deferred Compensation Investment Accounts held at T. Rowe Price.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Due to time constraints this matter was not presented to the Personnel -Risk Management Committee.
DISCUSSION:
A retired employee contacted the District recently. The former employee still has a 457 account with T.
Rowe Price through the Yorba Linda Water District and wants to withdraw the money from the account.
T. Rowe Price staff ultimately located the former employee's account. He was told that in order to
effectuate release of the funds in his account, the District must have in place a Permanent Resolution of
the Board of Directors naming those staff who are authorized to act on behalf of the District. District staff
contacted T. Rowe Price for the acceptable form . Once they receive the fully executed resolution, the
District will be able to act to allow our former employee access to his account. This requirement on the
part of T. Rowe Price is so that an authorized staff member of the District may verify the identity of the
participant pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act.

3. Cielo Vista and Esperanza Hills Development Projects
City Manager Pulone provided an update regarding the Cielo Vista / Esperanza Hills
projects and said that according to a representative from Supervisor Todd Spitzer's
office, the County is awaiting responses from both applicants regarding the Draft EIR
comments. The developers were also involved in legal conflicts which would likely
delay the project until those matters are resolved.
4. YL High School Park and YLWD Pipeline Relocation Projects
Acting General Manager Conklin said that the project was moving forward with good
progress and that the Placentia Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD)
contractor would be doing all of the grading for the pipeline alignment, followed by the
YLWD contractor who would install the pipe and backfill it. Mr. Conklin said their portion
of the work would begin in late September and take approximately two months to
complete.

Acting General Manager Conklin announced that the transition was complete and would
be effective in January.

9. History of Water Rates, and a Comparison of Rates with Other Similar Water
Districts
Acting General Manager Conklin distributed a flyer comparing the District's water rates
with other water districts in the area. He pointed out that the fees for the Yorba Linda
Water District were significantly less than several of the other agencies. Historically,
YLWD /CC Board Agenda August 26, 2014
Page 2 of 3
rates had gone up in the last 10 years reflecting higher water prices from the Municipal
Water District of Orange County, however their rates were still lower than other
agencies.
10. Efforts to Address Security Issues at District Facilities in the City
City Manager Pulone stated that the Kerrigan Ranch community had recently
experienced loitering near the station area and that the Public Works Department had
replaced the gate leading up to the District's facility. Mr. Pulone also said that staff was
working with the Sheriff's Department on security issues at other District facilities to
increase patrolling in the areas.
Acting General Manager Conklin discussed other District facilities that have become a
