Mr. Brown left the meeting at this time.
7. ACTION CALENDAR
7.1. Final Progress Payment No. 4 and Notice of Completion for the YLHS
Park Bryant Cross Feeder Pipeline Relocation Project
Mr. Marcantonio explained that work had been completed on construction
of the YLHS Park Bryant Cross Feeder Pipeline Relocation project which
consists of the installation of approximately 520 lineal feet of 36-inch
waterline, fittings, valves and associated appurtenances. The contractor,
Vido Samarzich, Inc., has requested a final progress payment in the
amount of $66,486.45 for work completed through January 31, 2015.
Director Beverage commented on the nature of this project and the
District's responsibility for the associated design and construct costs. He
suggested that efforts be made to confirm that the District's financial
obligation is mandated should a similar situation arise in the future.
Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Hawkins, to
approve Final Progress Payment No. 4, in the net amount of $63,162.13,
to Vido Samarzich, Inc. and 5% retention of $3,324.32; authorize staff to
file the Notice of Completion and release the retention thirty five days
following recordation, if no liens have been filed; release the Labor and
Material Bond and release the Faithful Performance Bond in one year if no
defects have been found for the construction of the YLHS Park Bryant
Cross Feeder Pipeline Relocation Project, Job No. 2012-13. Motion
carried 5-0.
7.2. Authorization to Reimburse OCTA for Orangeview Waterline Extension
Work and Design Services
Mr. Marcantonio explained that OCTA's Lakeview Grade Separation
Project utility relocation work was progressing, including construction of
the new waterline improvements in Orangeview and Lakeview Avenues
which are nearly complete. As a related but separate project, the Board
previously approved the expenditure of $58,747.51 to extend the
Orangeview Avenue waterline 273 feet to allow for abandonment of the
3
old waterline crossing the Atwood Channel. During construction it was
determined that additional realignment work was required because of
interference with an existing storm drain line resulting in an additional cost
of $4,575.03. Furthermore, OCTA invoiced the District $8,639.00 for the
Orangeview Avenue consulting design services resulting in a total cost of
$71,961.54.
Mr. Conklin then responded to questions from the Board as to whether this
expense was included or separate from the utility relocation costs not to
exceed $250,000. He indicated that these expenses were separate and
that this related project needed to be completed in order to replace some
old pipelines located immediately adjacent to the utility relocation project.
Mr. Micalizzi also responded to questions from the Board regarding
signage that had been proposed for the project.
Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Hawkins, to
authorize staff to issue a $71,961.54 check, payable to OCTA, for the
Orangeview Avenue Waterline extension work. Motion carried 5-0.
7.3. Report on Board Governance Workshop and Consideration of Proposal
for Development of Board Policies and Procedures Manual
Mr. Marcantonio explained that following the Board Governance
Workshop held in January, BHI Management Consulting provided a report
containing a summary of the topics discussed along with some
observations and recommendations. One of the recommendations was
the development of a Board of Directors Policies and Procedures Manual.
BHI has prepared a proposal to facilitate this effort for a total estimated
cost of $8,200 plus customary expenses not to exceed $600.
Mr. Marcantonio stated that the Board is not required to utilize the services
of BHI to accomplish this task and that staff would be willing to assist with
the completion of this project in-house. Staff has estimated that a draft
policy could be prepared for review by legal counsel and subsequent
consideration by the Board at the March 12, 2015 regular meeting.
Mr. Marcantonio, Ms. Alexander and Mr. Beltran then responded to
questions from the Board regarding the estimated cost for staff's time and
legal counsel's review, the time needed to complete the project, the
potential impact on staff's work on other projects, and the timing for
development of this manual in relation to other activities the Board will
soon be heavily involved with.
Directors Hawkins and Melton both suggested that staff work on
developing the manual in-house.
Director Collett suggested that the Board defer consideration of this matter
to the next regular meeting so that staff could develop a time and cost
estimate for performing the work in-house.
4
Director Beverage made a motion, seconded by Director Collett, to defer
consideration of this matter to the next regular Board meeting. Motion
carried 5-0.

Subject: Progress Payment No. 1 and Change Order No. 1 for the Richfield Campus
Spoils Project
SUMMARY:
Work has started on the construction of the Richfield Campus Spoils Project. The project consists of
the installation of a small concrete containment area on District property that will accommodate
excess spoils from District repair and installation work.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve Progress Payment No. 1 in the net amount of $45,452.75 and
Change Order No. 1 adding an additional 30 calendar days to The Stone Collector for construction
of the Richfield Campus Spoils Project, Job No. 2014-13S.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with the contract documents, The Stone Collector submitted a request for Progress
Payment No. 1, in the amount of $47,845.00 for completed work through March 13, 2015. During
this period, the contractor mobilized to the site, submitted shop drawings for review, ordered
material, excavated the area, compacted the subgrade, and installed base, drainage structure and
sand-oil interceptor.
During excavation, the sewer tie-in point was found to be deeper than anticipated in design, which
resulted in the need for an OSHA excavation permit. The contractor has experienced delays in
obtaining the required permit which has impeded the sewer installation work. Therefore, staff
recommends providing the contractor an additional 30 calendar days to complete the contract.
The status of the construction contract with The Stone Collector is as follows:
• The current contract is $142,756.00 and 45 calendar days starting February 17, 2015.
• If approved, Progress Payment No. 1 is $47,845.00 (33.5% of the total contract amount), less
5% retention of $2,392.25 for a net payment of $45,452.75.
• If approved, total payments to date including retention will be $47,845.00 (33.5% of the total
contract amount).
• As of March 13, 2015, 25 calendar days were used (55.6% of the contract time).
• If approved, Change Order No. 1 adds 30 additional days to the contract.
Staff reviewed the contractor's progress payment request and recommend approval. A copy of
Progress Payment No. 1 and Change Order No. 1 is attached for your reference.

Subject: Brand-Name Requirement for Well 21 Equipping Project
SUMMARY:
District staff determined that several key design components and parts from specific suppliers are
desired in order to match other products already in use in the District's water system. The purpose
of this request is that for each of the five brand-name items specified, the District has multiple
locations with these items, District staff has specialized training for calibrating and maintaining the
items, and continuing to specify those items allows staff to minimize the stocking of repair parts and
calibration equipment. Previously, legal counsel determined that per Public Contract Code Section
3400, a Board finding is required to approve a brand-name requirement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the Brand-Name Requirement for the Well 21 Equipping
Project for the items as specified in attached Staff Memorandum, namely Modicon Programmable
Logic Controller, ABB Magnetic Flow Meters, Cla-Val Pump Control Valves, Mercoid Pressure
Switches, and Rosemont Pressure Transmitters.
DISCUSSION:
During the design process and review, District staff determined that several key design components
and manufactured parts were desired from specific suppliers in order to match products already in
use in the District's water system. The installation of the specified products will improve the
efficiency of operating and maintaining the District's water system, for the reasons as
summarized above and further detailed in the attached staff memorandum. Legal counsel informed
District staff that a brand-name requirement cannot be used unless the Board makes a finding per
Public Contract Code Section 3400. Attached is a copy of the staff memorandum setting forth the
components and the reasons for requiring those brand-name components and parts for the Well 21
Equipping Project.

SUBJECT: Recommended Brand-Name Requirements for Well No. 21 Equipping
Project
BACKGROUND
During the planning and design phase for a District improvement project, the
Engineering Department meets with and solicits input from the Operations Department.
The Operations Department has certain maintenance history and training with certain
brand name components and parts in the District's system. For certain projects, the
Operations Department has requested that bid specifications require a part by brand
name in order to improve the efficiency of operating and maintaining the District's water
system. However, Public Contracts Code Section 3400 (b) prohibits the drafting of
specifications in a manner that will limit bidding to one specific concern, or call for a
designated item by specific brand or trade name, unless the specifications are followed
by the words "or equal" and which would allow the bidders to furnish an equal item.
However, there are exceptions to this rule that support requiring brand name
components and parts if the District's Board makes certain findings.
Per Section 3400 (c), the "or equal" rule is not applicable when the awarding authority
makes a finding that the item as specified by the brand name is needed for one of the
following reasons:
(1) In order that a field test or experiment may be made to determine the product's
suitability for future use.
1
(2) In order to match other products in use on a particular public improvement either
completed or in the course of completion.
(3) In order to obtain a necessary item that is only available from one source.
(4) In an emergency situation as described in detail in Section 3400.
WATER SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND PARTS
1. PLC. Programming language for a programmable logic controller (PLC) is a
very specialized field. All of the District's PI-Cs must communicate and work
together in order to operate in our water system. The District's SCADA
Administrator has specialized training and software to work with the Modicon
PLC systems. The District also stocks repair parts for this unit. Therefore,
because of the District's successful experience with the Modicon M580 PLC, it
is recommended that this be the only model PLC the District will specify.
2. Flow Meters. The District is specifying a magnetic flow meter for flow
measurement, the current standard of the industry for accuracy and ease of
maintenance. The District has eleven locations with mag meters in place, and
eleven of those are meters manufactured by ABB, all of which are working very
well. Flow meters must be calibrated on a regular basis. The District's SCADA
technician has specialized training in calibration of the ABB meters, and we
also stock limited repair parts and calibration equipment for these units.
Accordingly, staff is recommending that ABB magnetic flow meters be
specified for new projects.
3. Pump Control Valves. The District is specifying Cla-Val deep well pump
control valves. The District has a crew trained to work exclusively on
maintenance and repairs of ClaVal brand control valves. Because these valves
are manufactured locally, District staff has been able to will call parts and pick
them up the same day. This has expedited repairs, enabling staff to promptly
return systems back. Also, to minimize our warehouse inventory, we've been
utilizing the local manufacturer's inventory.
4. Pressure Switches and Pressure Transmitter. The District is specifying
Mercoid pressure switches and a Rosemont pressure transmitter along
the Well No. 21 discharge pipeline. Currently the majority of pressure switches
and pressure transmitters in the District belong to the same manufacturers,
Mercoid and Rosemont, respectively. As a result, the district's SCADA
technician has specialized training for these components and carries spare
parts to facilitate timely repairs.
SUMMARY
Requiring brand name components and parts to match other components and parts
already in use in the District's water system is in the best interest of the District for the
reasons noted above. Therefore, it is the recommendation of Engineering and
Operations staff that the specified components and parts in Exhibit A be specified by
2
brand name for the Well No. 21 Equipping Project in order to match other products
already in use in the District's water system.

Subject: Preparation of a Water and Wastewater Rate Study
SUMMARY:
Due to the current water drought situation and declining capital reserve balances, the Board recognizes
the need for a Water and Wastewater Rate Study to be conducted. To substantiate that any proposed
water and/or sewer rate increase is reflective of the true calculated cost of service, it is highly
recommended that such rate studies be prepared by a third party. Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc.
(RFC) has conducted Water Rate Studies for the District in the past, and staff is confident that RFC is
able to provide the professional services required in an expedient manner
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. in the amount not to exceed $50,000 to conduct a
Water and Wastewater Rate Study.
DISCUSSION:
At the Board Meeting of February 26, 2015, the Board authorized for an RFP process to be initiated for
a Water and Wastewater Rate Study by a third party. To expedite the processes, staff contacted
Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc.(RFC) who had prepared past Water Rate Studies and Financial
Models for the District. Due to RFC's familiarity of the District's business model and philosophy, staff
has been negotiate a price of$25,000 for Water Rate Study, and $25,000 for Wastewater Rate Study,
with the goals of increasing fixed charges to cover between 30% and 40% of operating costs, adjusting
for pass-through costs, and developing proposals for increasing reserves for future rate stabilization.
For these listed reasons, staff recommends that the District enter into a Professional Services
Agreement with RFC to conduct both a Water and Wastewater Rate Study and to provide the necessary
services in preparation of a Prop 218 hearing for an amount not to exceed $50,000.

Subject: Scope of Services for 2015 Water and Wastewater Rate Study
Dear Ms. Lugo:
Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. (RFC) is pleased to submit this scope of service for the 2015 Water and
Wastewater Rate Study(Study)for the Yorba Linda Water District (District). Below, are the proposed tasks and
fees.
Scope of Service
Task a Kick-off and Policy Discussion Workshop with Staff
The Kick-off Workshop provides a solid foundation for the project and ensures that project participants are in
mutual agreement as to the project goals, expectations, and other important recently surfacing issues for the
District. RFC will develop a project initiation package that contains the meeting agenda and presentation
materials to guide the discussion. A data request will be submitted to the District promptly following receipt of
the notice-to-proceed.
Data requests may include, but are not limited to, the following information:
• Financial data such as operating budgets, revenue sources (including non-operating revenues), capital
improvement plans (CIP), growth assumptions, and reserve funds
• Official statements for existing debt
• Historical accounts by meter size and water use by customer class for fiscal year(FY) 2013/14
During the workshop, RFC will discuss the reserve policies and develop recommendations for appropriate
reserve levels that are consistent with industry standards as well as the District's practices related to
maintaining system reliability for each of its enterprises.The proposed financial policies will be used to
develop the financial plan.
Meetings: One (1) Kick-off Workshop with Staff
Deliverables: Data request list, presentation material for the Workshop in Microsoft PowerPoint` 2013

Irask 2 — Financial Plan Development for Water and Wastewater Enterprises
RFC will develop forecasts of revenue requirements for the Water and Wastewater enterprises over the
planning horizon.This will include an estimate of revenues based on current rates, usage characteristics, and
other non-operating revenues. Revenue requirements will be projected based on historical results,the current
budget, (CIP), existing debt service and other bond compliance requirements, other obligations and current
economic trends. Projecting revenue adjustments over a longer planning horizon can illustrate future rate
impacts and potential challenges to the District's financial situation and allow the District to make adjustments
to expenses, reserve balances, or capital projects scheduling to smooth rate impacts and maintain financial
stability.
RFC will develop a separate Financial Plan Model for the Wastewater enterprise and update the previously
developed Water Financial Plan Model (current Water Model)with the FY 2016 budget and updated water
supply costs, capital expenditure plans, and fund balances from the District to reflect the District's current
financial status.The recommended revenue adjustments and resultant customer impacts will be provided to
assist the District in making informed decisions.
Meetings: None
Deliverables: Updated Water Financial Plan Model in Microsoft Office ExcelTm 2013 and Wastewater Financial
Plan Model in Microsoft Office ExcelTm 2013
Task 3 —Water and Wastewater Rate Model Development
The District expressed interests in evaluating the increases in fixed revenues to enhance water revenue
stability. RFC will develop the Rate Model to have the ability to calculate the 5-year water rates with the
ability to increase fixed revenues to the desired level over the planning period. Similarly,wastewater rates will
also be calculated in the Model for the 5-year study period to sufficiently recover the revenue requirements
determined by the Financial Plan developed in Task 2. It is assumed that the District will maintain its current
water and wastewater rate structures; uniform commodity rate for water services and flat fixed service
charges for residential wastewater services, and fixed and variable charges for non-residential wastewater
services.
The Model will also have the built-in capability to conduct various scenario analyses and to calculate the rates
under each scenario.The Dashboard, which displays key variables and results in real-time on-screen, will
facilitate discussion to reach a consensus quickly.This has proven to be particularly useful when making
presentations to District Board members and various stakeholder groups, allowing them instantly to
appreciate the impacts of their decisions fully. RFC will also determine the potential financial impact on
customers that may result from the proposed rate structure.The model will include a series of tables and
figures that show projected rate impacts on different types of customers at various levels of usage.
Meetings: None

Task 4— Financial Plan and Rate Design Workshops with District Staff and Board
Members
Following the completion of the Financial Plan and Rate Model, RFC will hold Financial Plan and Rate Design
Workshops with District Staff to develop different financial plan and rate scenarios.The first workshop will be
conducted with the goal of developing the financial plan for the Water and Wastewater enterprises for the
Study period. In the second workshop, RFC will present the interim proposed rates and discuss the benefits
and challenges associated with each proposed rate scenario, demonstrated through the Rate Model. Changes
and suggestions from staff will be incorporated into the analyses prior to presenting the final results to the
District Board.The last workshop will be with the Board, where staff and RFC will present the recommended
rate structure.This will be an opportunity for the Board to provide suggested changes/comments.
Meetings: Two (2) on-site Workshops with District Staff and one (1) Workshop with the Board
Deliverables: presentation materials for the Workshop in Microsoft PowerPointT' 2013
Task 5 — Report Development
The process for developing the proposed rates will be described in a draft report.This draft report will include
an executive summary highlighting the major issues and decisions and an overview of operations, CIP, the
financial plan, and the final rates resulting from the Study. The report will also include a rate and fee survey of
five comparable water agencies. RFC has extensive experience conducting local rate surveys as part of our
other rate studies, benchmarking studies, and our Water and Wastewater Rate Survey, a national biennial
water and wastewater rate survey conducted by RFC in association with AWWA.
Comments from District Staff on the survey and draft report will be incorporated into the Final Report as
appropriate, and the Model will be refined to reflect appropriate issues or concerns raised by stakeholders.
The Final Report will be submitted to the District and will include appropriate supporting data from the Model
to address the requirements of Proposition 218.
Meetings: One (1) conference call to review the Draft Report
Deliverables: Draft Report, Final Report in Microsoft Word TM 2013 and PDF
Task 6— Public Hearing and Proposition 218 Process
RFC has assisted numerous agencies with the Proposition 218 process and will be available to assist the District
with public education and guiding the District through elements of the Proposition 218 process such as
reviewing the Proposition 218 notice. RFC will be present at the Public Hearing to adopt the recommended
rates and will be available to answer any questions.

Subject: SWRCB Extended Emergency Regulations
DISCUSSION:
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) first approved its Emergency Regulations in
July 2014 in response to California entering its fourth year of severe drought. Though water
suppliers have conserved substantial amounts of water, the SWRCB has opted at its March 17,
2015 Board Meeting to expand and extend the original Emergency Regulations.
Due to the fact that the District already has in place a "drought contingency plan" in the form of
Ordinance 09-01, not all of the new SWRCB prohibitions will effect the District. Those that do
include no irrigation of turf during and 48 hours following measurable precipitation as well as
additional reporting requirements.

Emergency Water Conservation Regulation
For Immediate Release Contact: George Kostyrko
March 17, 2015 gkostyrko @waterboards.ca.gov
SACRAMENTO -- As California enters a fourth year of severe drought, the State Water
Resources Control Board Tuesday adopted an expanded emergency regulation to safeguard
the state's remaining water supplies. While Californians have made great strides to conserve
water, more effort is needed.
"We are experiencing the lowest snowpack and the driest January in recorded history, and
communities around the state are already suffering severely from the prior three years of
drought," said State Water Board Chair Felicia Marcus. "If the drought continues through next
winter and we do not conserve more -- the consequences could be even more catastrophic
than they already are. Today's action is just a tune-up and a reminder to act, and we will
consider more significant actions in the weeks to come."
While communities and water suppliers have saved substantial amounts of water since the
water conservation emergency regulation was first adopted in July 2014, there are many more
opportunities for Californians to conserve in even greater amounts. The expanded emergency
regulation captures some of these opportunities while continuing to give urban water suppliers
flexibility to take actions that reflect their local conditions as long as they meet the minimum
requirements. The State Water Board strongly encourages water suppliers to do much more
than the minimum required by the regulation.
Today's action incorporates lessons learned from implementation of the emergency regulation
approved in 2014 and feedback from urban water suppliers and the public.
Prohibited Water Use
Under today's action, the prohibitions on potable water use, first adopted in 2014, will continue,
and new prohibitions will go into effect. All Californians are now prohibited from:
• washing down sidewalks and driveways;
• watering outdoor landscapes in a manner that causes excess runoff;
• washing a motor vehicle with a hose, unless the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle;
• operating a fountain or decorative water feature, unless the water is part of a
recirculating system; and

Media Release
• irrigating turf or ornamental landscapes during and 48 hours following measurable
precipitation (new).
(New) Prohibitions affecting commercial businesses include:
• restaurants and other food service establishments can only serve water to customers on
request; and
• operators of hotels and motels must provide guests with the option of choosing not to
have towels and linens laundered daily and prominently display notice of this option.
Water Agency Requirements
The biggest change for urban water suppliers is the creation of a floor, or minimum standard,
for outdoor irrigation restrictions. Outdoor irrigation represents 50 to 80 percent of all water use
for some communities in the state. Irrigating outdoor ornamental landscapes is a questionable
use of a limited resource when some communities are running out of water in this fourth
consecutive year of drought. Urban water suppliers must now limit the number of days per
week that customers can irrigate outdoors. The limit must either be specified in their drought
contingency plans; or if their plan contains no specific limit, irrigation is limited to no more than
two days per week.
Water agencies will also be required to notify customers when they are aware of leaks that are
within the customer's control. Finally, monthly reporting requirements will be expanded to
include the limit on days for outdoor irrigation and a description of compliance and
enforcement efforts.
For smaller water suppliers, the expanded regulation clarifies that if they choose to implement
alternate mandatory measures, in lieu of limiting outdoor irrigation to twice a week; those
measures should be designed to achieve a 20 percent reduction in water consumption.
Local agencies can fine property owners up to $500 a day for failure to implement
conservation requirements and the State Water Board can issue cease and desist orders
against water agencies that don't impose mandatory conservation measures upon their retail
customers. Water agencies that violate cease and desist orders are subject to civil liability of
up to $10,000 a day.
"In a drought this severe, we need to think differently about our daily water use, and need to
sacrifice emerald green lawns and other water use luxuries," Marcus said. "At a time when
hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland lie fallow, thousands are out of work, communities
are running out of water, and fish and wildlife are devastated, and when locally stored urban
water supplies are shrinking, we need to step up the pace of conservation. Water agencies
should be motivating customers to take even more responsibility for the amount of water used
in homes, backyards, businesses, parks and everywhere else."
Following Board adoption, the regulation will be submitted to the Office of Administrative Law,
which has 10 days to approve or deny the regulation. If approved by the Office of
Media Release
Administrative Law, the regulation will take effect immediately and remain in effect for 270
days from that date.

Governor Brown has called on all Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent and
prevent water waste —visit SaveOurWater.com to find out how everyone can do their part, and

4.1. Overview of Board of Directors' Strategic Planning Workshop
Staff presented to the Committee an abbreviated version of the
presentation made to the Board at the February 19, 2015 workshop
meeting. The presentation discussed exploring a shift in the District's
current business model, noting that the current fixed charge only covers
about 20% of the District's operating costs. With the present drought
persisting, it is likely that further mandatory conservation could impact the
District's revenue stream and forecast for the future. With capital
improvement projects essential to maximize groundwater and other
enhancements to the District's water delivery system necessary, the
District will be exploring rate adjustments in the coming months. The
Committee discussed at length these topics and more, unanimously
supporting the notion that the District should bring in more dollars on the
basic service charge to fund the day to day operation of the District and to
elevate the District's cash reserves to ensure financial stability for the
future and more importantly in the case of emergency.

4.2. Status of Water Supply Conditions and the Statewide Drought
Staff updated the Committee on the latest reports from Metropolitan
regarding import water supply, noting that Met would likely explore
allocations in April to be implemented July 1, 2015, unless the month of
March provided significant rainfall across the state and snowpack in the
mountains.
4.3. President's Report
President Collett informed the Committee that the District would be likely
looking to take action following Metropolitans decisions in April, however it
is uncertain presently what that action would be.
4.4. Future Agenda Items
