Subject: ACWA/JPIA General Liability Insurance Deposit Premium October 1, 2008 through
September 30, 2009 and Retrospective Allocation Point
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the District's Risk Management Policy, staff is required to present all
insurance premiums to the Board of Directors for approval. Attached for the Committee's review
is ACWA/JPIA's general liability insurance deposit premium for the period of October 1, 2008
through September 30, 2009. The District's total deposit premium is $244,389. In 2007, the
District's premium was $251,819. In 2006, the premium was $188,513. The deposit premium is
due September 1, 2008.
DISCUSSION:
Each August the District receives the liability insurance premium from JPIA for the upcoming
policy year. The deposit premium is for the period October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009.
This year's deposit premium is 3% lower than last year's premium.
The main reason for the decrease in rates is due to the District's a-mod factor going down. In
this premium year the a-mod factor is 1.290 whereas last year the a-mod factor was 1.5100.
JPIA calculates the a-mod by using three consecutive years worth of losses. This three-year
period moves each year, whereby the earliest year drops off, and a new year comes on.
Therefore, a particular loss will affect the a-mod calculation for a total of three years. Losses
below $15,000 or the Retrospective Allocation Point (hereinafter referred to as a "deductible"),
whichever is less, are not used in the a-mod calculation. In addition, all losses are capped at
$75,000. The District's deductible is $25,000.
The deductible is that portion of a loss for which the District is ultimately responsible. It also
designates the point at which the District begins to participate in the pooled losses. When the
retrospective premium adjustment is calculated (45 months after the first coverage period), all
losses and portions of losses are deducted from the deposit premium. The remaining losses go
into the pool and are shared by all of the members of the program. Each member is charged a
proportionate share of the total losses in the pool according to its deposit premium.
Adjustments continue annually thereafter until all claims in the pool for that specific policy year
are closed. In the end, if the costs are below the deposit premium, a credit is applied to the
District's retrospective premium adjustment fund. If the costs exceed the deposit premium, a
debit is applied against the retrospective premium adjustment fund. The retrospective premium
adjustment fund was created in 1999 to stabilize retrospective premium adjustments and reduce
or eliminate billing members for prior policy years by "banking" member refunds. These funds
are used to offset any amounts due to the member for prior policy years. The retrospective
premium adjustment fund was established with a cap of 50% of the basic premium. Once a
member's fund balance exceeds 50% of its deposit premium, the difference is refunded to the
member. Because the deposit premium is high this year, the District will not receive a refund.
The District has the option of increasing the deductible from $25,000 to $50,000 or to $100,000.
Staff does not recommend changing the RAP since it is extremely hard to predict the number of
future claims that may be filed against the District and against other agencies. The philosophy
is if an agency is experiencing a high frequency of losses, the minimum deductible is financially
safer.
The District identified $299,750 in the Fiscal Year 2008-09 adopted budget. All of the
worksheets and backup date are on file and available for review in the office of the General
Manager.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The annual liability insurance deposit premiums are presented to the Board of Directors each
August. The Board of Directors approved the current liability insurance premium on September
13, 2007.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee concurs with staff's recommendation and recommend the Board of
Directors approve the ACWA/JPIA General Liability Insurance deposit premium for the policy
year October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009 in the amount of $244,389 and also continue
with the Retrospective Allocation Point of $25,000.

Subject: Damage Claim
SUMMARY:
The District received the attached claim seeking reimbursement for property related damages
as a result of water line repairs performed by District staff.
DISCUSSION:
On May 8, 2008, Mr. Baer claimed District staff had inadvertently severed electrical lines under
his concrete slab during the repairing of water lines. Mr. Bear claims an electrical line was cut
between his home and the outer edges of the drive way thus disconnecting electrical power to
his security and landscape lighting around the perimeter of the side and rear sections of his
home.
The District's Maintenance Superintendent contacted Lynn Nuzman, Sr. Maintenance
Distribution Operator regarding the incident. Lynn Nuzman stated during the excavation not a
single electrical line was cut and had his crew cut an electrical line at the time notification to the
homeowner would have occurred immediately and repairs to the cut electrical line would have
been performed prior to filling in the excavation.
Mr. Baer submitted an invoice from Paradigm Electrical dated 5/21/2008 for the following work:
Installation of electrical infrastructure for a patio ceiling fan, installation of ceiling fan, trouble
shoot background light for artwork in wine cellar, removal of old ceiling fixtures in lower guest
rooms and installation of new customer furnished fixture for a grand total of $672.00.
On July 10, 2008 the District received a completed Claim form from Mr. Baer requesting
reimbursement for $672.00. However, attached to the claim was an invoice from Paradigm
Electrical dated 5/15/2008 for the following repairs: troubleshoot rear landscape lighting, replace
low voltage cable for a grand total of $535.40. Staff has reviewed the submitted claim and
internal incident reports and recommends the claim be rejected and referred.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Personnel/Risk Management Committee recommends that the Board of Directors
reject and refer the claim to ACWA-JPIA.

Subject: Approval of Position Upgrade from Sr. Project Engineer to Sr. Project Manager
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this report is for the Personnel/Risk Management Committee to approve and
recommend to the Board of Directors at the next Board meeting scheduled for August 14, 2008
the upgrade of two (2) full time positions from a Sr. Project Engineer to a Sr. Project Manager
position.
DISCUSSION:
For the past two (2) years the Human Resources Department has actively recruited to fill the
two (2) vacant Sr. Project Engineer positions. One of the Sr. Project Engineer positions first
became vacant due to a service retirement at the beginning of FY 2006/2007. The Human
Resources Department opened up the recruitment for the Sr. Project Engineer position in early
May 2006. Several applications were received, and out of that recruitment an internal candidate
was selected and promoted to the position in August 2006. After one (1) year of serving the
District as a Sr. Project Engineer, the employee retired from the District in September 2007.
During the middle of FY 2006/2007, another employee resigned from the District resulting in the
second vacant Sr. Project Engineer position. The recruitments were advertised on the District's
website, Jobs Available, Brown and Caldwell, American Water Works Association and American
Society of Civil Engineers professional journal/website.
During the recruitment process, the Human Resources Department only received ten (10)
applications. Out of these applications, 70% of the applicants were working at a salary higher
than what the District was advertising, and the other 30% lacked the minimum qualifications to
fill the position. After several unsuccessful recruitments, staff subsequently conducted a salary
survey for this position among five (5) similar water agencies and six (6) cities in Orange
County. Results from the survey indicated that Yorba Linda Water District's salary range was
significantly lower than the median salary for this position. Of the agencies surveyed, Yorba
Linda Water District had the lowest salary both at first step and at last step.
0
Staff selected five (5) agencies of the original eleven (11) with similar job duties to Yorba Linda
Water District's Sr. Project Engineer position's duties. Based on this selection of agencies, a
recommendation to increase the salary range by 20% for this classification will position Yorba
Linda Water District within the median range for this position among the five (5) agencies
surveyed and selected. Also staff is recommending changing the title from Sr. Project Engineer
to Sr. Project Manager and adding the following requirements to the position's job description:
C,
1. A Bachelor's degree from a four year college or university with major coursework in civil
engineering or a related field.
2. Possession of a valid certificate of registration as a Professional Engineer issued by the
State of California.
The District's current job description requires at least five (5) years of water/wastewater
experience with a minimum of two (2) years supervisory experience with the above mentioned
items being desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Long range the fiscal impact to the Yorba Linda Water District will be approximately $20,178 per
year (20% over current top step). However, for this fiscal year there will be approximately less
than $10,000 per year impact because the Human Resources Department anticipates filling the
position in November after re-opening the recruitment and advertising the new salary and job
requirements for this position.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the position of Sr. Project
Engineer, salary range 30, be reclassified to Sr. Project Manager, salary range 34.

Subject: Approval of Contract with Project Partners for Temporary Employment Services.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is for the Personnel-Risk Management Committee to review and
recommend approval to the Board of Directors of an agreement with Project Partners, an
engineering firm, to provide engineering consultant services to assist the District in the
administration of approved Capital Improvement Projects through Fiscal years 2007 - 2012.
DISCUSSION:
The District has contracted with Project Partners for similar consulting services in the past and
experienced positive results from the professional engineering service provided. Lately the
District has experienced a tightening of the labor market resulting in several unsuccessful
recruitments for the Sr. Project Engineer positions.
The Human Resources Department is recommending the Sr. Project Engineer salary be
increased by 20%, as well as changing the job title to Sr. Project Manager and enhancing the
job requirements. Once approved staff will advertise the vacancy with the new salary and title.

Ken Vecchiarelli
Assistant General Manager
Yorba Linda Water District
P.O. Box 309
Yorba Linda, CA 92686-0309
Re: Senior Contract Water Engineer/ Project Manager
Dear Ken:
It is with great pleasure that we are submitting this letter proposal and appreciate the
opportunity to work with you and your staff once again. We understand that the Yorba Linda
Water District (YLWD) has an immediate requirement for a senior engineer to assist the District
in the administration of approved Capital Improvement Projects spanning fiscal years 2007-
2012.
The objective of this proposal is to offer YLWD a senior project manager resource that would:
• Provide the manpower and technical expertise to help the District implement selected 5
Year Capital Projects Program projects. This will include facilitating the design of
approved projects, managing the design of projects under consultant design, and
developing bid packages and managing the construction of already designed projects.
• Assist in developing an infrastructure replacement program that would ensure the long
term viability of water and wastewater systems.
• Afford YLWD the ability to proactively evaluate our senior water engineer's
performance and ability to work effectively with your organizations without long term
commitments
• Add senior water engineering expertise without substantial expense of hiring
permanent staff or paying hefty consultant fees.
Proposed Contract Project Manager
Project Partners would like to offer YLWD one of our Senior Project Managers, Mr. Steve
Conklin (see attached resume). Mr. Conklin is a Professional Engineer with over 35 years of
experience in all phases of water systems engineering. He has over 20 years in the private
sector as a senior engineering m anager and worked on a wide variety of water, wastewater, and
reclaimed water projects. He is a proven technical professional with extensive project
management experience.
In addition, Mr. Conklin has over 15 years as a senior manager in the Orange County Water
District organization; a well respected publi c sector agency. There he held positions from
•
Senior Engineer to Engineering M anager, to Director of Engineering to Assistant General
Manager. He has extensive knowledge of the County's groundwater issues and proven
expertise in managing complex water projects.
Exceptional Billing Rate Advantage:
Project Partners works hard to maintain very cost effective billing rates for our clients. Our rates
allow public sector agencies realistic options to cost effectively maintain contract staff for
extended periods of time.
Due to our long working relationship with YLWD, we are offering a one time reduced billing rate
for Mr. Conklin. Mr. Conklin is classified as a Senior Project Manager III. Our standard bill ing
rate for that classification is $112.50. (as listed in the attached billing rate sheet). However,
Project Partners is offering a special rate reduction of 12%, thus bringing our billing rate to:
Reduced Hourly Billing Rate of $99.00.
This is an exceptional value as other engineering consulting firms have billed Mr. Conklin for
over $200 per hour. This rate is even lower, (when adjusted for inflation), than the rate charged
for the previous contract engineer Project Partners assigned to YLWD; Mr. Ray Hahn.
Based upon full-time utilization of the proposed Project Partners engineering staff, an estimated
amount of $180,000 would allow contract staff service through the end of the current YLWD
fiscal year (June 30`h, 2009).
Conditions
Project Partners is proud to offer outstanding candidates to our clients. We believe that YLWD
understands that the staff provided by Project Partners is the result of substantial recruiting
expense; interviewing, screening, and supervision of its personnel. Therefore, in consideration
for this service, we request that YLWD not obstruct the employment relationship between
Project Partners and its employees directly or indirectly by extending any employment offers for
a period of not less than 6 months after the initial contract date.
Once again, Project Partners is truly excited about the opportunity to work with YLWD. Should
you have any questions or require any additional clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact
me directly at 949-852-9300 x 103
Sincerely,
_4~
