4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. Recap of Water Use Restrictions and Imposition of Drought Penalties to
Comply with State of California Mandate
The Committee had an extensive discussion about the District’s
implementation of Drought Administrative Penalties. Key issues included:
Some CAC members were concerned that the penalties were not
discussed or presented to the CAC prior to implementation. The
CAC has already gone on the record supporting the District’s
intentions to shift its business model to one that focuses more on
water service and grows the District’s reserves. Staff explained that
due to the many fast moving targets and mandates set by the State
Water Resources Control Board, there simply wasn’t enough time.
President Collett reported to the Committee that the Board of
2
Directors would normally hold a workshop for an important item like
this, however due to time restrictions the Penalty Ordinance was
drafted by staff with the advice of the District’s legal counsel in the
waning hours of the workweek and into the weekend, just to meet
the posting deadline.
Questions were raised as to what the Administrative Penalties
would fund and where would additional dollars leftover go. Staff
reported that the Penalties would fund four part time water
conservation representatives, additional customer correspondence
and communications initiatives dedicated to achieving the State
Mandates and to any fines levied by the State to the District, should
the District not achieve the 36% target. There are also too many
unknowns to forecast “leftover dollars” as staff does not believe that
the Administrative Penalties will cover the full brunt of the State’s
fines if the District falls out of compliance and does not recover.
Still though, that forecast is based on assumptions that some
conservation does take place. President Collet reasoned that if
conservation exceeds expectations, the District will likely not be
fined by the State and fewer penalties will be collected. Should
there be monies accumulated from the Administrative Penalties that
are not spent on the aforementioned items related to the
Emergency Ordinance, the Board of Directors would decide where
to allocate the funds.
The Penalty Blocks were discussed with inquiries as to why lot size
was not considered when the blocks were set. Staff explained that
these Administrative Penalties are not intended to be permanent
and are only to be employed for the duration the Governor’s
Executive Order, which deems irrigation of outdoor ornamental
grass a waste of potable water. By that rationale, and because
these Penalties are tied to the State’s rules, the District set blocks
that would elevate with greater outdoor use, while not penalizing
those who do not use water outdoors.
It was posed to Staff that any customer, residential, commercial or
irrigation could reduce their consumption by 36% or more and still
be penalized. Staff admitted that to be the case, however
reiterated that the Executive Order specifically targets grass and
that this is a State of Emergency, drawing a parallel to a major
earthquake. During this Emergency period, we must comply and it
is forcing the District into some very awkward positions with our
rate payers as we adhere to the State’s rules. Staff admitted that
the Penalty Ordinance isn’t perfect, yet given the tight deadline and
the many extraordinary circumstances the District faces, it was the
best that could be done, in short order.

4.2. Metropolitan Water Supply Update
Director Barbre, who offered several points and insights during the
previous item offered a report on Metropolitan’s Water Supply to the
Committee, reaffirming Met’s 15% Allocation as the appropriate
conservation target for the region.
4.3. Draft FY 2015/16 Operating Budget (Materials to be provided at the
meeting.)
Due to time, this item was continued to the next meeting.
4.4. President's Report
President Collett’s report was included in the previous items.
4.5. Future Agenda Items
None.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: July 9, 2015
To:Board of Directors
From:Marc Marcantonio, General
Manager
Presented By:Delia Lugo, Finance Manager Dept:Finance
Prepared By:Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
Subject:Proposed Budget for FY 2015/16
SUMMARY:
Attached for the Board's review and consideration is the District's Budget for FY 2015/16. The
budget allocates employee and financial resources to accomplish the District's mission and vision
statements. It presents a framework and financial plan for responsibly carrying out the programs
and capital projects that administer, operate, maintain, protect and replace the assets required to
provide safe and reliable public water and sewer systems.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 15-16 Adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year
2015/16 and Rescinding Resolution No. 14-08.
DISCUSSION:
In general, this budget identifies $44 million in total outlay this next fiscal year, including $30.3
million in total expenses, $7.4 million in depreciation, and $6.3 million in capital projects. Offsetting
this $30.3 million in total expenses is $32.5 million in anticipated revenues, resulting in a net gain of
$2.2 million. The Board remains consistent in its decision to not fully fund depreciation expense and
the budget reflects this decision. Therefore, the District will operate with a planned net deficit of
$5.1 million.
Attached to this report is Resolution No. 15-16 adopting the Budget for Fiscal Year 2015/16.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
FR 1-B: Prepare a High Level Annual Budget Document and Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report and Compete for Recognition by the Government Finance Officers Association
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Director's reviewed preliminary budget summaries for FY 2015/16 at five special
workshops held on March 31, 2015, April 30, 2015, May 21, 2015, June 18, 2015, and July 8, 2015.

To the Honorable Board of Directors:
We are pleased to present the Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 Draft Budget.
The purpose of this document is to identify and allocate the resources needed to
accomplish the District’s goals and objectives over the next fiscal year and to present
the financial health of the District in a clear and concise manner to the Board of
Directors and the general public.
The main objective of the proposed Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 budget is to
provide adequate funding for all District activities, considering the goal of meeting all
regulatory requirements while providing reliable, high quality water and sewer services
in an environmentally responsible and financially prudent manner.
The proposed budget meets this objective by incorporating operating cost reductions
and the use of available financial reserves, while projecting realistic operating revenues
without a supplement from the currently approved rate increases.
The following are highlights of achievements completed in FY 2014/15; a summary of
the goals and objectives for FY 2015/16 and a financial forecast of the District heading
into the next five fiscal years:

FY 2014/15 Financial Forecast
For the year ending June 30, 2015, staff is anticipating a combined loss of $2,057,622
for the water and sewer enterprises. These figures include total depreciation expenses
(a non-cash expense) in the amount of $7,354,700. Please refer to the Summary of
Total Revenue and Expenses (Water & Sewer) for supporting information.
Beginning July 1, 2014, total reserve funds available for both Operations and Capital
Projects was $29.4 million. Staff is forecasting these funds to be $32.6 million by June
30, 2015, for a total addition of $3.2 million for FY 2014/15.
Principal Issues, Factors & Challenges for FY 2015/16
For the forthcoming 2015/16 fiscal year, the Yorba Linda Water District will be
experiencing one of its greatest challenges in meeting the Governor’s April 1, 2015
Executive Order issuing mandatory water conservation regulations across the state.
The subsequent Regulations approved by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) on May 6, 2015, mandated a conservation reduction (of water use) for YLWD
of 36%, comparative to 2013 usage. In response to these events, YLWD Board of
Directors adopted Resolution No. 15-04 Instituting Stage 3 of the District’s Conservation
Ordinance and Ordinance No. 15-01 Instituting Drought Penalties, both to promote
conservation efforts by our customer base. As a result of the SWRCB mandated 36%
District-wide conservation reduction established for YLWD, there is a projected budget
decrease of 29% in water sales for FY 2015/16 as compared to FY 2014/15.
Prior to the Governor’s Executive Order, the District was engaged in a Water and
Wastewater Rate Study as authorized by the Board. The study explored gradually
shifting more of the customer’s average monthly bill to the basic service charge over a
five year period. The intent was to stabilize revenues and meet the District’s cost of
service as water conservation efforts continue to be necessary. Unfortunately, due to
the Emergency Drought Mandates implemented in May of 2015, which far exceeded the
forecasted conservation targets set by the District’s imported water supplier,
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), this gradual shift to increase
the basic service fee will need to be consolidated into the first year, effective October, 1
2015.
Additionally the Emergency Mandates require the establishment of drought rates or
administrative penalties to impose upon customers who exceed water use restrictions
set forth by the SWRCB. The District elected to implement administrative penalties
based on reductions comparative to the calendar year 2013 average usage for each of
the three customer classes - residential, commercial and irrigation. The collection of
these proposed administrative penalties are not for the purpose of recovering the cost of
providing water service to District customers, but rather to signal higher than average
users of water they need to conserve more.

As of May 2014, the District was granted annexation of the remaining 26% of its service
area into the Orange County Water District (OCWD). It was 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 import (MWD) water.
However, the District will not be able to take advantage of full annexation for FY
2015/16, 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 1,596 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
maintenance charges of $110 per acre-foot. The CUP allows MWD to “store” water in
the Orange County Groundwater Basin and call for the extraction of that water, via wells
purchased for various agencies, in times of drought when its traditional sources (the
Colorado River and Bay-Delta) are less plentiful.
Current facility (infrastructure) limitations prevent the District from producing and
transferring the full BPP as well as the required CUP obligation. Had the District been
able to access the entirety of the BPP in the upcoming fiscal year, the District could
potentially lower its variable water costs by approximately $1 million. As later described
in this document, the District’s Capital Improvement Program includes construction of
pumping, pipeline and well facilities over the next three years that will make it possible
for the District to access its full allotment of groundwater.
FY 2015/16 Goals & Objectives
Key Business Objectives

FY 2015/16 Summary Budget
Revenues
Total water and sewer revenues budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16 amount to $32.5
million, a decrease of $415,000 from the revenues budgeted for FY 2014/15. The major
differences are comprised of the following:
Water Revenue ($580,000 decrease)
The decrease in Water Revenue is a result of the net effect of projected conservation
efforts to meet the SWRCB mandated reduction in consumption and the projected
results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study that will establish an increase on
monthly base fee charges to District customers. Water Revenue from Residential,
Commercial, and Landscape/Irrigation consumption is projected to decrease by $6.4
million (30%) in FY 2015/16 as a result of District-wide conservation efforts. As a
projection of the results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study, Service Charges
for all customers are projected to increase by $4.9 million for FY 2015/16.
Sewer Charge Revenue ($34,000 decrease)
Sewer Charge Revenue funds help to finance maintenance equipment, system repairs,
replacements and improvements associated with the sewer system. This revenue is
expected to remain relatively constant.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
5
Expenses & Outlay
Total expenses & outlay (excluding capital projects) budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16
is $37.6 million, an increase of $1 million from the FY 2014/15 budgeted results. This
includes depreciation which totals $7.4 million. The following factors summarize the
significant changes:
Variable Water Costs ($2,849,000 decrease)
The District's variable water costs will decrease by 19% in FY 2015/16. In response to
the SWRCB’s mandated conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, the District’s
Production Operating Plan is projecting to generate a total demand of 16,534 AF in FY
2015/16 – a reduction of 5,446 AF from FY 2014/15. The operating plan for FY 2015/16
increases its annual ground water allocation to 60.9% - up by 6.2% from FY 2014/15.
The cost per AF for ground water of $322/AF averages to be $613/AF less than the cost
of import water per AF.
Salaries & Benefits ($589,000 increase)
This amount includes the hiring of additional staff, merit increases and reclassifications
for those employees who may qualify throughout the year, a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) as indicated in the District’s MOU and Compensation letters, increases from
CalPERS, medical, dental, and vision premiums, and the assumption that all funded
positions will be filled for an entire fiscal year. The FY 2015/16 budget for merit
increases for those employees who qualify throughout the year, amounts to
approximately $39,000. The Salaries & Benefits budget also includes the addition of two
full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, as well as one proposed reclassification
of current employee. Salaries relating to CIP projects, in the amount of $135,000, will
also be capitalized. The net operating costs for salaries and benefits results in a
$589,000 increase from the FY 2014/15 budget.
The District has three tiers for retirement benefits through the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS):
Tier 1 applies to District employees hired prior to January 26, 2012. These employees
pay the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and
are enrolled in the 2% at 55 CalPERS retirement formula.
Tier 2 applies to District employees hired between January 26, 2012 and December 31,
2012, and any District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are defined as
“classic members” under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. These employees pay
the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and are
enrolled in the 2% at 60 CalPERS retirement formula.
Both tier 1 and tier 2 retirement benefits are based on the employee’s single highest
year of compensation. These employees are covered under the Fourth Level of 1959
Survivor Benefits.

6
Tier 3 applies to District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are “new
members” as defined in the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA).
These employees pay an initial contribution rate of one-half of the total normal cost of
the defined benefit plan and are enrolled in the 2.5% at 67 CalPERS retirement formula.
The retirement benefit for these employees is based on an average of three years of
final compensation.
Commencing July 1, 2015, District employees will receive a Cost-of-Living increase of
6.5% which will be spread over the course of the next three fiscal years.
The District will continue to match dollar for dollar of salary earned, not to exceed 2%
per payroll period of the employee’s deposits into a qualified Deferred Compensation
Plan for any Management or Supervisory/Confidential employee.
The District pays 100% of the premium cost for health, dental and vision for all full-time
employees and two-thirds of the premium cost for their dependents; offers employees a
“4/10” work schedule; an optional 457 deferred compensation plan; a 125 Flex benefits
plan; Long and Short Term Disability Insurance; Life Insurance; an Employee
Assistance Program; and Tuition Reimbursement.
Employees accrue 3.077 hours per pay period of vacation with increases in vacation
accruals at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. After 20 years, the maximum vacation accrual is
reached at the rate of 6.922 hours per pay period. There are 26 pay periods per year.
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of 3.7 hours per pay period. The District observes
eleven paid holidays per year.
Reserves and Funding Sources
The District has nine water and sewer enterprise-related funding sources. Within the
budget document is a summary of these funding sources and their associated balances.
Three of these funds are restricted or designated specifically for capital projects
including: COP Bonds 2008, Water Capital Projects and Sewer Capital Projects.
Both the Water Emergency and the Sewer Emergency Funds are non-restricted and
were established to fund unplanned, unbudgeted emergency operations repairs related
to the water and sewer system, respectively. The Water Emergency Fund was
established in FY 2009/10, with a transfer of $2 million from the Annexation Fund. The
Sewer Emergency Fund was established in FY 2007/2008, with the Board of Directors’
decision that approximately $1 per connection per month would be set to fund this
account. The Board also established at that time a Sewer Emergency Fund ceiling
guideline of $1 million, after which any additional revenue generated would be
transferred to Sewer Capital Reserves.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

The remaining three funds are the Water Restricted for Debt Service Fund, which is
used to pay the Districts principal and interest payments and the Water and Sewer
Operating Funds which are used to fund day-to-day operations and maintenance
activities as identified in the budget, which occur as actual expenses. These activities
require cash, checks and wire transfers on a regular basis and affect the District’s cash
flow.
Summary
The Water Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $3.8 million under the
proposed budget, which includes a rate increase and variable water cost pass-through,
and with depreciation of $6 million. This does not include CIP project expenditures,
which are funded separately with capital reserves and other identified funds.
The Sewer Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $1.3 million, with
depreciation of $1.3 million. This also does not include CIP project expenditures, which
will require funding from capital reserve funds and operating fund transfers.
The State-wide mandated water use restrictions by the SWRCB will pose challenges for
all water providers in the coming years. Continuous and effective communications on
the many changing issues facing the District is essential as we adapt our business
model to these drought conditions and imposed mandates.
The challenges presented this year were met by the Yorba Linda Water District’s Board
of Directors’ resolve to keep the stability and financial strength of the District as one of
its highest priorities.
This budget reflects the vision of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District, its management, and its employees. We will continue to strive to make
improvements in our budget processes, including an extensive review and analysis of
projections for revenues, expenditures, capital projects, and reserves.
I would like to thank all the staff involved in this process for the efforts put forth in the
preparation of this budget to ensure a successful outcome. To the Board of Directors,
we acknowledge and appreciate their continued support and direction in achieving
excellence in financial management and District operations.
Respectfully Submitted,
Marc Marcantonio

Strategic Goals Statement
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that all
governmental entities use some form of strategic planning to provide a long-term
perspective for service delivery and budgeting, thus establishing logical links between
authorized spending and broad organizational goals.
The goals, objectives and action steps within the District’s Strategic Plan were
determined by the mission and vision statements and core values of the District and
further established through the process initiated by the Board of Directors through a
Strategic Plan Workshop. Stakeholders that participated in this process included all five
Board Members, the Executive Management team and members of the Employee
Productivity-Innovation-Communications (EPIC) Committee, made up of staff
representatives with varied levels of experience and expertise from across all District
departments.
In the District’s strategic planning, goals are defined as identified challenges the District
would like to address. Initiatives are defined as high-level concepts or plans for
resolving the identified goals. Strategies are defined as action steps to achieving the
identified initiatives, which, in turn, achieve the identified goals.
Five goals were identified as the most critical challenges for the District to address in
the next year:
Goal CP: Community Partnership
Goal FR: Fiscal Responsibility
Goal OE: Operational Efficiency
Goal SR: Service Reliability
Goal WE: Workforce Engagement

Profile of the District
Independent, Trusted and Reliable Service for more than 100 Years
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 been providing 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 company 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 80
employees and a part-time staff of 4 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 70,000
and currently provides water service through approximately 24,703 residential,
commercial, and light industrial connections.
District Services
Residential customers make up approximately 93% of the District’s customer base and
consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District.
The District's drinking water comes from two sources: local groundwater and "imported
water". Approximately 60% comes from local groundwater and 40% comes from
"imported water" from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct and from
Northern California via the State Water Project. The blending of these sources varies
according to your geographic location within the District.
YLWD currently operates 10 wells within our service area that pump water from the
Orange County Groundwater Basin. The groundwater basin is managed by the Orange
County Water District (OCWD), who allows more than 20 cities and water agencies,
including YLWD, to withdraw water from the basin, via wells, at a cost of approximately
$322 per acre-foot. OCWD sets a maximum percentage of water that can be pumped
from the ground, the Basin Production Percentage (BPP).
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
17
The remainder of YLWD's drinking water is "imported" water, purchased through the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC, in turn, purchases
water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct, as part of a
consortium of 26 agencies, through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD). The cost of imported water to the retail agencies, such as YLWD, is
almost four times the cost of pumping out of the groundwater basin. Imported water is
treated at MWD's Diemer Filtration Plant, located on Valley View and Diemer Road in
Yorba Linda.
The majority of YLWD's operating expenses are variable water costs, which include
purchasing water from both OCWD and MWDOC, as well as electrical and natural gas
costs to pump water up to the highest elevations.
The District has a unique water delivery system to provide service to homes ranging
from 250 to 1,390 feet above sea level, from the Chino Hills to the Santa Ana River. The
District maintains ten primary hydraulic "pressure zones" and fourteen water storage
reservoirs.
Almost ten years ago the District began a $95 million dollar “fast track” capital
improvement program aimed at an infrastructural overhaul to ensure water reliability for
our customers, and to meet current and anticipated consumption and financial
demands. The program includes the construction of water wells, reservoirs, pipelines
and booster pumping stations as well as various other system improvements. These
systems improvements will allow greater access to groundwater throughout our service
area and have the potential to reduce variable costs approximately $1 million per year.
In addition, the ability to access groundwater provided by these upgrades serves to
better prepare the District in the event of scheduled and unscheduled MWD shutdowns.
Historically, YLWD rates have been among the lowest in Orange County, and continue
to be so for the upcoming year.
In fiscal year 2012/13 and 2013/14, the District purchased 21,788.7 acre-feet and
22,645.8 acre-feet of water to provide to customers, respectively. Fiscal year 2015/16 is
forecasted to provide 16,534 acre-feet.

Financial Policies & Goals
This section includes a brief summary of the District’s Operating Budget Policy,
Revenue and Expenditure Policy, Reserve Policy, and Investment Policy. Though each
financial policy is reviewed annually, only the District’s Investment Policy is updated and
adopted by the Board on an annual basis.
Operating Budget Policy
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s comprehensive master plans, the
long term financial plan, the needs of the community, and federal and state laws.
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s.
A balanced budget is defined as the amount of budgeted expenditures is equal to or
less than the amount of budgeted revenue, plus available fund balance.
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on an accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, an accounting entity which finances and
accounts for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services. It is the intention of the District to recover the full costs of providing
maintenance, goods, and/or services through the collection of user charges.
Revenue and Expenditure Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using historical trends and current information to maintain consistency,
reliability, and reasonableness.
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
23
Reserve Policy
This policy represents the public affirmation of the Board’s commitment to the financial
prudence and careful stewardship of community assets. This policy covers: Operating
Reserve (target level of 8%-17% of annual operating budget); Emergency Reserve
(target level between $1 and $4 million for water fund and $250,000 and $1 million for
sewer fund); Capital Replacement Reserve (target level of $1.82 million for water fund
less money set aside for Maintenance Reserve and $345,000 for sewer fund);
Maintenance Reserve (target level of $200,000); Debt Service Reserve (target level of
highest annual debt service payment); Employee Liabilities Reserve (annual
contribution of $100,000) and US Bank 2008 COP Reserve (target level of $2,147,096).
These funds are designated by the District’s Board to carry out specific purposes to
ensure prudent management of District’s financial resources and are used by District’s
staff as parameters within which the Board expects staff to operate.
The Financial Reserve Policy has three primary goals:
To preserve the financial stability of the District against present and future
uncertainties in an ever-changing environment
To maintain the District’s bond ratings in the capital markets and sustaining debt
covenant compliance
To provide adequate funding to meet the District’s short-term and long-term
plans and commitments to its customers
All reserve balances will be subject to review by the Board of Directors on an annual
basis as part of the budget process.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the District to invest funds in a manner that will provide the highest
investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow
demands of the District and conforming to all statutes governing the investment of the
District funds. The policy follows the “prudent investor” standard of the California
Government Code Section 53600.3 and is updated and formally adopted by the District
on an annual basis.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
24
Basis of Budgeting & Accounting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on the accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on the cash basis of accounting.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the majority of the costs of
the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities through user-
charges and the receipt of property taxes.
Budget Controls
When the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Operating and Capital Budget is approved by the Board,
budgeted amounts are appropriated and expended within each department.
Subject to the approval of the annual budget by the Board of Directors, the General
Manager has full charge and control of the District’s expenditures to ensure that
operating and capital expenditures in each fiscal year are within the budgetary
guidelines and to ensure that the District’s goals and objectives are met.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Throughout the year, Finance and other department managers will review actual results
of operating expenditures as compared to the budgeted amounts approved by the
Board of Directors in June 2015. The General Manager has the authority to make
administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a
significant policy impact nor affect the budgeted year-end fund balances. Any
significant program changes or service level changes require approval by the Board of
Directors. All budget transfers are documented and tracked within the Finance
Department.
Review and adjustments to the capital budget appropriations are also recommended
throughout the fiscal year. Project managers may find that some projects contemplated
at the beginning of the fiscal year have been delayed or accelerated due to changes in
conditions, weather and/or economics, and new projects may be added to meet future
demands, goals and objectives. Any recommended changes to the Capital
Improvement Budget would be brought to the Board of Directors for approval.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
25
Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors are required for authorizing positions in
the service of the District and for setting salary ranges for those authorized positions.
The General Manager is authorized to use savings from vacant authorized positions to
retain contract labor to meet District personnel needs. The General Manager is also
authorized to fill an approved and budgeted position that is vacated during the term of
the budget year with a new employee at an equal or lower classification. The budget
may need to be modified to reflect labor and benefit agreements. These changes would
be approved by the Board of Directors.
As defined by the District’s Purchasing Policy, in the event that the General Manager
determines that an emergency exists and requires immediate action, the General
Manager shall have the power, without prior Board action, to enter into contracts and
agreements and expend funds on behalf of the District beyond the final approved fiscal
year budget in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Those amounts shall be ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called. Amounts in
excess of $100,000 require Board of Director approval and shall be formally ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called.
Budget Process
The budget process begins in January of each year and is the product of a
comprehensive team effort from various levels within the organization, as shown on the
following Budget Calendar. Each year, the Finance Department prepares expenditure
budget worksheets for distribution to key staff. These worksheets give staff the
necessary information to project their department’s budgets by category. Included in
the worksheets are the past year’s actual expenses, current year transactions, and
projected current year end balances. Based on the information provided, and
accounting for any changes for anticipated purchases, the requested amounts from the
worksheet are entered into the budget system and compared to last year’s budget. Any
substantial budget change needs to be justified by the respective departments.
The Human Resources Department reviews the employee positions and wages of the
District. The Human Resources Department makes a recommendation to the General
Manager if new positions need to be added, changes in job descriptions need to occur,
or reclassifications of position are required. The results of this review are presented to
the Board of Directors for further input and approval. The approved personnel
recommendations are entered into the budget system for inclusion in the budget
document.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
26
The Engineering Department prepares a list of CIP projects to be presented to the
Board of Directors. Based on recommendations from staff, each CIP project will be
prioritized based on necessity. The Engineering Department will also update the future
project list and will incorporate cost changes due to construction cost increases or a
change in the scope of the project.
The method to determine the revenue projections takes into account factors such as
projected growth, required conservation, historical activity, and the current economic
conditions.
Once all the components have been calculated, each department presents their
departmental budget to the General Manager and Management Team for review.
Comments and changes that are recommended by staff are included in a draft
document that is then presented to the Board of Directors in a public forum for review
and comment. Once all approved changes have been incorporated into the draft
document, a final budget is then presented to the Board of Directors for adoption.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department level. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Revenue Assumptions
The main source of Operating Revenue for the District is water and sewer rate revenue.
However, rate revenue is not enough to fund the total cost of operations and must be
supplemented by a variety of miscellaneous/other operating revenues. Other operating
revenues include items such as customer service fees, unmetered jumpers, and other
sources. Total operating revenues are projected to decrease at a rate of 1.2% in FY
2015/2016. Water operating revenues as a result of water sales are estimated to
decrease by 1.9% to $28,623,519 in FY 2015/16. Sewer operating revenues are
estimated to decrease by 1.2% to $1,822,139 in FY 2015/16.
Water Operating Fund
Potable Water sales are the largest source of District revenues, with the majority of
sales to residential customers. In previous years, mild weather conditions, less that
desirable economic conditions, and a strong water conservation message have resulted
in lower consumption demand and thus lower than anticipated water revenues. In the
current year, due to the Governor’s official Declaration of Drought and mandated
conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, comparative to calendar year 2013, set by the
SWRCB, the District is budgeting for at a 29% conservation reduction of current
forecasted usage.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
27
There is no tiered water rate structure at YLWD. Therefore, Water Revenues are
calculated using the average number of units consumed per customer account, a
proposed monthly fixed charge per account, and a proposed $2.70 per billing unit
consumed (which is 100 cubic feet (ccf) or approximately 750 gallons). The result is
then annualized for the budget projection. The budget assumes a yearly demand of
16,534 acre feet (AF) in FY 2015/16. The chart below displays the historical trend of
water revenue.
Revenue from Service Charges is a calculation of the projected number of service
connections for FY 2015/16 (24,703) multiplied by the proposed fixed service charge
based on meter size.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to backflow charges,
unmetered jumpers, construction meters, new account fees, and other income, are
projected based upon historical activity and current economic conditions. Included in
Other Income Revenues for FY 2015/16, in response to the SWRCB’s Emergency
Drought, are revenues collected in the form of administrative penalties imposed upon
District customers who exceed water use restrictions.
Interest Income for the water operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.
Property Tax Income is projected based on the assumptions of the Orange County Tax
Assessor. The District anticipates receiving 97% of its share of the ad valorem tax
revenue, which will result in a 1% increase when compared to the previous year.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
28
Other Non-Operating Revenue, which include but are not limited to annexation fees,
rental income, and other sources, are projected based upon historical activity and
current economic conditions.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
29
Sewer Operating Fund
The District’s Sewer Revenues are based on the sewer collection services provided to
our customers.
Sewer maintenance charges will remain fixed at $5.50 per month for single family
residential customers with associated charges for multi-family and commercial
accounts. The District will provide sewage collection services for approximately 25,300
sewer service connections.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to sewer collection fees and
miscellaneous income, are projected based upon the historical activity and current
economic conditions.
Interest Income for the sewer operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
30
Cost Allocation
The allocation of costs are derived from cost accounting. Cost accounting is defined as
the process of tracking, recording and analyzing costs associated with the products or
activities of an organization. The costs of operating expenses including employee
wages and benefits are allocated to each department and division, based on actual
expenses as tracked by the District’s accounting system. The District’s budget is
presented with an allocation of 93% to the Water Fund and 7% to the Sewer Fund, with
the exceptions of the Water Production, Water Operations, and Mechanical Services
sections which are allocated 100% to the Water Fund. Additionally, the Sewer
Operations section, which includes sewer-related expenses including vehicle
maintenance, is allocated 100% to the Sewer Fund. The methodology used to
determine the allocation percentages involved discussions with personnel from each
department where they were to identify a basis for each section by which an allocation
percentage could be used. This analysis concluded that the allocation percentage
described above was appropriate.
Costs associated with capital projects are tracked by the means of assigned “Job
Numbers”. Salaries affiliated with capital projects are allocated to the appropriate CIP
accounts based on actual timesheet entries. An overhead of approximately 33% is
applied to the allocated salary costs by job number in order to provide a true salary and
benefit cost applicable to CIP projects.

Five Year Financial Projections (FY 2016-2020)
Narrative
This financial projection is designed to provide a general understanding of how
revenues and expenditures are expected to influence the District over the next five
years. Revenue and expenditure projections are reviewed in relation to their effect on
funding capital projects, reserve levels, and operating fund balances. The District will
update its projections on an annual basis in order to plan for the future and determine
recommended rates. The projection factors in debt ratios, reserve balances, projected
rate increases, cost increases and growth projections.
The assumptions in the following projections include:
Costs passed-through for all variable water cost rate increases
Annexation to OCWD in FY 14/15
$7 million borrowing through a Line of Credit in FY 12/13 at an interest rate of One
Month LIBOR + 0.90%, with renewals every 3 years
Principal repayment due September 16, 2016
A 0.04% annual growth in customer accounts
No change to the sewer rate, but an alignment to address a disparity in our rates in
FY 2015/16
Average interest earnings at 0.3 % - 1.2%
1% growth in property taxes
1.5% annual increase in other non-operating revenue other than annexation
amortization
9% annual increases in variable water costs
8% annual increases in salary related expenses
3-8% annual increases in supplies and services expenses with the following
exceptions:
Board Election expense only budgeted every other year
Interest expense equal to those scheduled by the existing bonds and assumed
interest rate of 1.5-2.0% for Line of Credit
No change to future budgets for other non-operating expenses
Depreciation increases based on the projected completion of CIP jobs
The District is still in the middle of an aggressive CIP spending plan that was created
with the issuance of the 2008 Certificates of Participation. The following projections
include the completion of that spending plan.

Debt Administration
The District’s debt rating from Fitch is “AA”. The District has no formal debt policy and
no legal debt limit; however, the District’s future borrowing capacity is limited by the debt
coverage ratio required by existing bond covenants. The ratio is calculated using
revenue and expenses data pertaining to the Water Fund only and the covenants
require that the coverage exceed 1.1. The District’s budgeted ratio is 1.25 for Fiscal
Year 2016. This District’s Fiscal Year 2015/16 budgeted debt service obligation
($2,721,559) is related to its two existing debt issuances. Use of proceeds and the
corresponding principal balance of each are as follows:

Financial Policies
Introduction
The District’s financial policy documents incorporate many of the District’s financial
management practices that are used by the District staff as guidelines for operational
and strategic decision-making related to current and future financial matters.
The purpose of establishing these policies is to identify acceptable and unacceptable
courses of action, thus establishing parameters in which the District’s fiscal performance
can be reviewed. Some policies are flexible when they are utilized by District staff as
performance measurement tools to monitor the District’s finances, while others are
restrictive to emphasize accountability.
The Operating Budget Policy and Revenues and Expenditures Policy are internal
documents, acting as a guideline for staff, and are not reviewed by the Board. The
Financial Reserves Policy and Investment Policy are reviewed by District staff and
Board Members annually, to accommodate minor changes to the existing policy or
major shifts in financial priorities as approved by the District’s Board of Directors.
The District’s financial policies encompass the following functional areas:
Operating Budget Policy
Revenues and Expenditures Policy
Financial Reserves Policy
Investment Policy
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
82
Operating Budget Policy
The operating budget policy answers some basic questions such as: How is the budget
developed? Who is involved in the budget process? What does the budget include?
Budget Development
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s strategic plan, the needs of the
community, and federal and state laws.
Guidelines with respect to the District’s budget are as follows:
The budget should support the District’s mission statement, strategic goals, and
critical priorities
There should be no deferment of critical maintenance
The budget should be regarded as a business operating plan
The budget should balance the needs to pay for the District’s cost of providing
services, debt service obligation and capital needs of the District
Expenses should be budgeted for in appropriate departments to correctly identify
the cost of providing various District functions and services
Budget Form
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s. Proposed
revenues and expenditures including debt service expenditures are presented to the
Board of Directors along with comparisons to projected expenditures for the current
year and actual expenditures of the prior two years.
Basis of Budgeting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for the
District is kept on an accrual basis, with the exception of supplies & services, which are
budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the full costs of supplying
goods and/or services through user-charges.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
83
The District’s budget process was developed with a series of goals and objectives in
mind. These goals and objectives are communicated throughout the organization
through several meetings. During the process, the Board of Directors provides priorities
and guidelines to the General Manager. The General Manager then discusses Board
priorities and other future issues and concerns with Department Heads during staff
meetings. Once goals and objectives for the upcoming year are identified, the General
Manager and the District staff start developing the District’s budget. Where practical,
the District integrates performance measurement, service level, and productivity
indicators in the District’s adopted budget document. The District will continue to
emphasize the importance of meeting each department’s goals and objectives in order
to accomplish its long-term goals and objectives.
An increase in the Operating and Capital budget may result in water rate increases. In
order to minimize the impact on the District’s rates, revenue requirements are
scrutinized to achieve operating efficiencies and maintain or increase customer service
at the same time. As part of the cost containment efforts, District staff re-visits
operating priorities and reviews internal procedures to included utilizing outside services
when they can offer greater competitive advantages to doing it internally, or investing in
technology to increase productivity and to reduce the need for additional staff.

84
Revenues and Expenditures Policies
This policy is used as an aid to provide for the consistent provision of essential public
services since revenues and expenditures are the key drivers of the District’s
operations. The goal of this policy is to help ensure the financial stability regardless of
the economic situation and to provide information to the Board that revenue and
expenditure practices are consistent with the District’s mission and goals.
Revenues Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using certain techniques such as historical trends and current information to
maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
User Charges
User charges are the most important component of the District’s revenue portfolio. The
District uses user charges to fund the provision of services provided to its customers.
The District utilizes a cost recovery component to determine how much costs need be
recovered from various customers. The cost of providing various services is used as
the basis for setting rates and fees to the various types of customers served.
The following are guidelines for the user charge setting process:
User charges are established utilizing a generally accepted cost recovery
methodology that is consistent and legally defendable using the following
approaches: revenue requirement analysis, cost of service analysis, and rate
design analysis.
Rate designs shall be reflective of the District’s Board of Directors’ rate setting
objectives.
Rates shall be set at a level so that the District will collect reliable revenues
through a combination of system access charges and users’ commodity rates to
pay for the District’s revenue requirement.
Rates and charges will be reviewed and updated regularly based on factors such
as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of
costs and requirements of the rate covenant.
Expenditures Policy
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and Staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
85
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
The basic components of the District’s expenditure policies are broken down into two
functional areas: Maintenance of Capital Assets and Review of Service
Maintenance of Capital Assets
Maintaining a reliable transmission and distribution system and a sustained capital
program are simply not possible without reliable funding sources. For this reason,
prudent financial planning is imperative to an effective capital improvement program.
The District uses a combination of “pay as you go” method and long term funding to
fund the District’s capital improvement program and maintenance of its capital assets.
A fixed annual amount was projected by an Asset Management Plan and is included in
the District’s Reserve Policy as an annual revenue requirement to be collected from
rates and charges. The annual contributions then are accumulated and kept in the
District’s capital fund to be spent and withdrawn for the District’s betterment and
replacement projects over a period of time.
The following elements of expenditure policy reflect the District’s philosophy to perform
ongoing maintenance of capital investments once they are purchased and capitalized:
Maintain consistency of allocation of resources for programs to carry out the
District’s mission and goals to its customers
Within the resources available each fiscal year, the District shall maintain capital
assets and infrastructure at a satisfactory level to protect the District’s
investment, to minimize the future replacement and maintenance costs, and to
continue service levels.
Review of Service
These expenditure policies are used by staff to prompt review of services to see if they
are being provided as effectively and efficiently as possible. The District’s review of
service policy is as follows:
Utilize technology and productivity advancements that will help reduce or avoid
increasing personnel costs, when practicable.
Control personnel costs as a proportion of total budget, to more productively and
creatively use available resources.

Financial Reserves Policy
A. GENERAL POLICY:
Maintaining adequate reserves is an essential part of sound financial management. The
Yorba Linda Water District Board of Directors realizes the importance of reserves in
providing reliable service to its customers, financing of long-term capital projects and
funding availability for emergencies should the need arise. Interest derived from reserve
balances shall be credited to the reserve account from which it was earned.
B. CATEGORIES:
YLWD shall accumulate, maintain and segregate its reserve funds into the following
categories:
Restricted and Designated Reserves
1. Board Designated Reserves; and
2. Contractually Restricted Reserves.
C. SCOPE:
This policy will assist the Board of Directors in establishing:
1. Target levels for reserve funds;
2. Requirements for the use of reserve funds; and
3. Periodic review requirements for each reserve.
D. PERIODIC REVIEW:
Staff and the YLWD Board shall review the reserve balances and targets annually as a
part of the annual budget process. The Finance-Accounting Committee will continue to
review all reserve and investment balances monthly, with a quarterly report going to the
full Board.
E. RESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED RESERVES:
1. Board Designated Reserves:
These are reserve funds earmarked for the purpose of funding such items as new
capital facilities, repair or replacement of existing facilities and general operating
reserves designated for a specific purpose and use by the Board of Directors.

Investment Policy
SECTION 1: GENERAL POLICY
1.1 It is the policy of the Yorba Linda Water District (“District”) to invest public funds
in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting
reasonably anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a reasonable rate
of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment
of public funds.
1.2 The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of
funds of the District and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the
District’s cash management. The District’s goal is to enhance the economic
status of the District consistent with the prudent protection of the District’s
investments. This investment policy has been prepared in conformance with all
pertinent existing laws of the State of California.
SECTION 2: SCOPE
2.1 This Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the
District, except for the proceeds from capital project financing instruments, which
are invested in accordance with provisions of their specific documents. These
funds are accounted for as Enterprise Funds and are identified in the District’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
SECTION 3: DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
3.1 The authority of the Board of Directors to invest funds is derived from Section
53601 of the California Government Code (“CGC”). Section 53607 of the CGC
grants the Board of Directors the authority to delegate that authority, for a one-
year period, to the District’s Treasurer. Therefore, management responsibility for
the investment program is hereby delegated to the District’s Treasurer, who shall
be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of
controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and their procedures in
the absence of the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the
management of investment activities, including the activities of staff consistent
with this Policy.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
92
3.2 The Treasurer may retain the services of an outside investment advisor or
manager as approved by the Board to assist with the District’s investment
program. Any investment advisor selected shall make all investment decisions
and transactions in strict accordance with State law, and this Policy.
SECTION 4: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
4.1 The primary objectives, in priority order, of the District’s investment activities shall
be:
4.1.1 Safety: Safety and preservation of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment program. Investments shall be selected in a manner that
seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the District’s overall portfolio.
This will be accomplished through a program of diversification and
maturity limitations, more fully described in Section 13, in order that
potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
4.1.2 Liquidity: The District’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid
to enable the District to meet all operating requirements which might be
reasonably anticipated. Securities should mature concurrent with cash
needs to meet anticipated demands.
4.1.3 Return on Investments: The District’s investment portfolio shall be
designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns on
investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints and
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives.
SECTION 5: PRUDENCE
5.1 The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be
the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent investor is
explained in CGC Section 53600.3, which states that “when investing,
reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds,
a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting
in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
93
funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and
maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”
5.2 The Treasurer and delegated investment officers, acting in accordance with
District procedures and the Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved
of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price
changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion
and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
5.3 Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then
prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to
be derived.
SECTION 6.0: ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the
investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial
investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the
District’s General Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions
that conduct business with the District’s boundaries, and they shall further
disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to
the performance of the District.
SECTION 7: AUTHORIZED BROKER/DEALERS
7.1 The Treasurer will maintain a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial
institutions that are approved for investment purposes. Broker/dealers will be
selected for credit worthiness and must be authorized to provide investment
services in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or
regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule
15(C)3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit will be made by the
broker/dealer except in a qualified public depository as established by the
established state laws. Before a financial institution or broker/dealer is used,
they are subject to investigation and approval by the Treasurer or his/her
designated representative, and must submit the following:
7.1.1 Certification of having read and understood this investment policy
resolution and agreeing to comply with the District’s investment policy;
7.1.2 Proof of Federal Investment Regulatory Authority certification;
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
94
7.1.3 Proof of State of California registration;
7.1.4 Audited financial statements for the institution’s three (3) most recent fiscal
years;
7.1.5 References of other public-sector clients that similar services are provided
to.
7.2 If a third party investment advisor is authorized to conduct investment
transactions on the District’s behalf, the investment advisor may use their own list
of approved independent broker/dealers and financial institutions. The
investment advisor’s approved list must be made available to the District upon
request.
SECTION 8: AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
8.1 The District is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under the CGC
Sections 53601 et seq. Authorized investments shall also include, in accordance
with CGC section 16429.1 et seq., investments into the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) and the Orange County Treasurer’s Commingled Investment Pool in
accordance with CGC section 53684. Within the investments permitted by the
CGC, the District seeks to further restrict eligible investment to the investments
listed in Section 8.3 below. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply
at the time the security is purchased. Ratings, where shown, specify the
minimum credit rating category required at purchased without regard to +/- or
1,2,3 modifiers, if any.
8.2 The purchase of any investment permitted by the CGC, but not listed as an
authorized investment in this Policy is prohibited without the prior approval of the
Board of Directors.
8.3 Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized:

SECTION 9: REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
9.1 The securities held by the District must be in compliance with Section 8
Authorized Investments at the time of purchase. The Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to verify that all securities are in compliance with
Section 8 Authorized Investments. In the event a security held by the District is
subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings
specified in Appendix A Authorized Investments, the Treasurer should notify the
Finance-Accounting Committee - and through the Committee’s minutes, the
Board - of the change. The course of action to be followed will then be decided
on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change,
prognosis for recovery or further rate drops, and the market price of the security.
SECTION 10: INVESTMENT POOLS
10.1 A thorough investigation of any investment pool or mutual fund is required prior
to investing, and on a continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum,
obtain the following information:
10.1.1 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policy and objectives;
10.1.2 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how
gains and losses are treated;
10.1.3 A description of how the securities are safeguarded (included the
settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the
program audited;
10.1.4 A description of who may invest in the program, how often and what size
deposit and withdrawal are allowed;
10.1.5 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings;
10.1.6 Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund;
10.1.7 A fee schedule and when and how it is assessed;
10.1.8 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such
proceeds.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
97
SECTION 11: COLLATERALIZATION
11.1 Bank Deposits: Under provisions of the CGC, California banks and savings and
loan associations are required to secure the District’s deposits by pledging
eligible securities with a value of 110% of principal and accrued interest. State
law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by pledging first
trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the District’s total deposits.
11.2 Waiver of Security: The Treasurer, at his/her discretion and in accordance with
CGC section 53653, may waive security for the portion of any deposits as is
insured pursuant to federal law.
SECTION 12: SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
12.1 All security transactions entered into by the District shall be conducted on a
delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian
designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The only
exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases
made with (i) local government investment pools, and (ii) money market mutual
funds, since those purchased securities are not deliverable.
SECTION 13: DIVERSIFICATION AND MAXIMUM MATURITIES
13.1 The District will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the
exception of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agency Securities, FDIC Insured Certificates
of Deposit and authorized pools, no more than 30% of the District’s total
investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single
financial institution.
13.2 To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow and
approved in advance by the Board of Directors, the District will not directly invest
in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.
SECTION 14: INTERNAL CONTROLS
14.1 The external auditors will annually review the investments and general activities
associated with the investment program. This review will provide internal control
by assuring compliance with the Investment Policy and District policies and
procedures.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
98
SECTION 15: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
15.1 The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the
investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
15.2 The District’s investment strategy is passive. The performance of the District’s
investment portfolio will be evaluated and compared to an appropriate
benchmark in order to assess the success of the investment portfolio relative to
the District’s Safety, Liquidity and Return on Investments objectives. This review
will be conducted annually with the Finance-Accounting Committee.
SECTION 16: REPORTING
16.1 Subject to CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), the Treasurer will provide monthly
investment reports to the District’s Finance-Accounting Committee (and through
the Committee’s minutes, to the Board of Directors) and quarterly reports to the
Board of Directors which provide a clear picture of the status of the current
investment portfolio. The reports shall comply with the reporting requirements of
CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), respectively.
SECTION 17: INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
17.1 The District’s Investment Policy will be adopted by resolution of the Board of
Directors. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and modification, if
any, must be approved by the Board of Directors.

To the Honorable Board of Directors:
We are pleased to present the Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 Draft Budget.
The purpose of this document is to identify and allocate the resources needed to
accomplish the District’s goals and objectives over the next fiscal year and to present
the financial health of the District in a clear and concise manner to the Board of
Directors and the general public.
The main objective of the proposed Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 budget is to
provide adequate funding for all District activities, considering the goal of meeting all
regulatory requirements while providing reliable, high quality water and sewer services
in an environmentally responsible and financially prudent manner.
The proposed budget meets this objective by incorporating operating cost reductions
and the use of available financial reserves, while projecting realistic operating revenues
without a supplement from the currently approved rate increases.
The following are highlights of achievements completed in FY 2014/15; a summary of
the goals and objectives for FY 2015/16 and a financial forecast of the District heading
into the next five fiscal years:

FY 2014/15 Financial Forecast
For the year ending June 30, 2015, staff is anticipating a combined loss of $2,057,622
for the water and sewer enterprises. These figures include total depreciation expenses
(a non-cash expense) in the amount of $7,354,700. Please refer to the Summary of
Total Revenue and Expenses (Water & Sewer) for supporting information.
Beginning July 1, 2014, total reserve funds available for both Operations and Capital
Projects was $29.4 million. Staff is forecasting these funds to be $32.6 million by June
30, 2015, for a total addition of $3.2 million for FY 2014/15.
Principal Issues, Factors & Challenges for FY 2015/16
For the forthcoming 2015/16 fiscal year, the Yorba Linda Water District will be
experiencing one of its greatest challenges in meeting the Governor’s April 1, 2015
Executive Order issuing mandatory water conservation regulations across the state.
The subsequent Regulations approved by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) on May 6, 2015, mandated a conservation reduction (of water use) for YLWD
of 36%, comparative to 2013 usage for the period of June 1, 2015 through February 31,
2016. In response to these events, YLWD Board of Directors adopted Resolution No.
15-04 Instituting Stage 3 of the District’s Conservation Ordinance and Ordinance No.
15-01 Instituting Drought Penalties, both to promote conservation efforts by our
customer base. As a result of the SWRCB mandated 36% District-wide conservation
reduction established for YLWD, there is a projected budget decrease of 29% in water
sales for FY 2015/16 as compared to FY 2014/15.
Prior to the Governor’s Executive Order, the District was engaged in a Water and
Wastewater Rate Study as authorized by the Board. The study explored gradually
shifting more of the customer’s average monthly bill to the basic service charge over a
five year period. The intent was to stabilize revenues and meet the District’s cost of
service as water conservation efforts continue to be necessary. Unfortunately, due to
the Emergency Drought Mandates implemented in May of 2015, which far exceeded the
forecasted conservation targets set by the District’s imported water supplier,
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), this gradual shift to increase
the basic service fee will need to be consolidated into the first year, effective October, 1
2015.

ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

Additionally the Emergency Mandates require the establishment of drought rates or
administrative penalties to impose upon customers who exceed water use restrictions
set forth by the SWRCB. The District elected to implement administrative penalties
based on reductions comparative to the calendar year 2013 average usage for each of
the three customer classes - residential, commercial and irrigation. The collection of
these proposed administrative penalties are not for the purpose of recovering the cost of
providing water service to District customers, but rather to signal higher than average
users of water they need to conserve more.
As of May 2014, the District was granted annexation of the remaining 26% of its service
area into the Orange County Water District (OCWD). It was 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 import (MWD) water.
However, the District will not be able to take advantage of full annexation for FY
2015/16, 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 1,596 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
maintenance charges of $110 per acre-foot. The CUP allows MWD to “store” water in
the Orange County Groundwater Basin and call for the extraction of that water, via wells
purchased for various agencies, in times of drought when its traditional sources (the
Colorado River and Bay-Delta) are less plentiful.
Current facility (infrastructure) limitations prevent the District from producing and
transferring the full BPP as well as the required CUP obligation. Had the District been
able to access the entirety of the BPP in the upcoming fiscal year, the District could
potentially lower its variable water costs by approximately $1 million. As later described
in this document, the District’s Capital Improvement Program includes construction of
pumping, pipeline and well facilities over the next three years that will make it possible
for the District to access its full allotment of groundwater.

FY 2015/16 Summary Budget
Revenues
Total water and sewer revenues budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16 amount to $32.5
million, a decrease of $415,000 from the revenues budgeted for FY 2014/15. Budgeted
revenues include the projected increase in Service Charges as a result of the Water
Rate Study and Administrative Penalties assessed due to excessive water usage. The
major differences are comprised of the following:
Water Revenue ($580,000 decrease)
The decrease in Water Revenue is a result of the net effect of projected conservation
efforts to meet the SWRCB mandated reduction in consumption and the projected
results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study that will establish an increase on
monthly base fee charges to District customers. Water Revenue from Residential,
Commercial, and Landscape/Irrigation consumption is projected to decrease by $6.4
million (30%) in FY 2015/16 as a result of District-wide conservation efforts. As a
projection of the results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study, Service Charges
for all customers are projected to increase by $4.9 million for FY 2015/16.

Sewer Charge Revenue ($34,000 decrease)
Sewer Charge Revenue funds help to finance maintenance equipment, system repairs,
replacements and improvements associated with the sewer system. This revenue is
expected to remain relatively constant.
Expenses & Outlay
Total expenses & outlay (excluding capital projects) budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16
is $37.6 million, an increase of $1 million from the FY 2014/15 budgeted results. This
includes depreciation which totals $7.4 million. The following factors summarize the
significant changes:
Variable Water Costs ($2,849,000 decrease)
The District's variable water costs will decrease by 19% in FY 2015/16. In response to
the SWRCB’s mandated conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, the District’s
Production Operating Plan is projecting to generate a total demand of 16,534 AF in FY
2015/16 – a reduction of 5,446 AF from FY 2014/15. The operating plan for FY 2015/16
increases its annual ground water allocation to 60.9% - up by 6.2% from FY 2014/15.
The cost per AF for ground water of $322/AF averages to be $613/AF less than the cost
of import water per AF.
Salaries & Benefits ($589,000 increase)
This amount includes the hiring of additional staff, merit increases and reclassifications
for those employees who may qualify throughout the year, a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) as indicated in the District’s MOU and Compensation letters, increases from
CalPERS, medical, dental, and vision premiums, and the assumption that all funded
positions will be filled for an entire fiscal year. The FY 2015/16 budget for merit
increases for those employees who qualify throughout the year, amounts to
approximately $39,000. The Salaries & Benefits budget also includes the addition of two
full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, as well as one proposed reclassification
of current employee. Salaries relating to CIP projects, in the amount of $135,000, will
also be capitalized. The net operating costs for salaries and benefits results in a
$589,000 increase from the FY 2014/15 budget.
The District has three tiers for retirement benefits through the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS):
Tier 1 applies to District employees hired prior to January 26, 2012. These employees
pay the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and
are enrolled in the 2% at 55 CalPERS retirement formula.

Tier 2 applies to District employees hired between January 26, 2012 and December 31,
2012, and any District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are defined as
“classic members” under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. These employees pay
the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and are
enrolled in the 2% at 60 CalPERS retirement formula.
Both tier 1 and tier 2 retirement benefits are based on the employee’s single highest
year of compensation. These employees are covered under the Fourth Level of 1959
Survivor Benefits.
Tier 3 applies to District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are “new
members” as defined in the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA).
These employees pay an initial contribution rate of one-half of the total normal cost of
the defined benefit plan and are enrolled in the 2.5% at 67 CalPERS retirement formula.
The retirement benefit for these employees is based on an average of three years of
final compensation.
Commencing July 1, 2015, District employees will receive a Cost-of-Living increase of
6.5% which will be spread over the course of the next three fiscal years.
The District will continue to match dollar for dollar of salary earned, not to exceed 2%
per payroll period of the employee’s deposits into a qualified Deferred Compensation
Plan for any Management or Supervisory/Confidential employee.
The District pays 100% of the premium cost for health, dental and vision for all full-time
employees and two-thirds of the premium cost for their dependents; offers employees a
“4/10” work schedule; an optional 457 deferred compensation plan; a 125 Flex benefits

Employees accrue 3.077 hours per pay period of vacation with increases in vacation
accruals at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. After 20 years, the maximum vacation accrual is
reached at the rate of 6.922 hours per pay period. There are 26 pay periods per year.
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of 3.7 hours per pay period. The District observes
eleven paid holidays per year.
Reserves and Funding Sources
The District has nine water and sewer enterprise-related funding sources. Within the
budget document is a summary of these funding sources and their associated balances.
Three of these funds are restricted or designated specifically for capital projects
including: COP Bonds 2008, Water Capital Projects and Sewer Capital Projects.

Both the Water Emergency and the Sewer Emergency Funds are non-restricted and
were established to fund unplanned, unbudgeted emergency operations repairs related
to the water and sewer system, respectively. The Water Emergency Fund was
established in FY 2009/10, with a transfer of $2 million from the Annexation Fund. The
Sewer Emergency Fund was established in FY 2007/2008, with the Board of Directors’
decision that approximately $1 per connection per month would be set to fund this
account. The Board also established at that time a Sewer Emergency Fund ceiling
guideline of $1 million, after which any additional revenue generated would be
transferred to Sewer Capital Reserves.
The remaining three funds are the Water Restricted for Debt Service Fund, which is
used to pay the Districts principal and interest payments and the Water and Sewer
Operating Funds which are used to fund day-to-day operations and maintenance
activities as identified in the budget, which occur as actual expenses. These activities
require cash, checks and wire transfers on a regular basis and affect the District’s cash
flow.
Summary
The Water Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $3.8 million under the
proposed budget, which includes a proposed rate increase and variable water cost
pass-through, and with depreciation of $6 million. This does not include CIP project
expenditures, which are funded separately with capital reserves and other identified
funds.
The Sewer Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $1.3 million, with
depreciation of $1.3 million. This also does not include CIP project expenditures, which
will require funding from capital reserve funds and operating fund transfers.
The State-wide mandated water use restrictions by the SWRCB will pose challenges for
all water providers in the coming years. Continuous and effective communications on
the many changing issues facing the District is essential as we adapt our business
model to these drought conditions and imposed mandates.
The challenges presented this year were met by the Yorba Linda Water District’s Board
of Directors’ resolve to keep the stability and financial strength of the District as one of
its highest priorities.
This budget reflects the vision of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District, its management, and its employees. We will continue to strive to make
improvements in our budget processes, including an extensive review and analysis of
projections for revenues, expenditures, capital projects, and reserves.

Strategic Goals Statement
*The following Strategic Goals Statement is subject to revision following implementation
of a new business model and Board of Directors planning workshop.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that all
governmental entities use some form of strategic planning to provide a long-term
perspective for service delivery and budgeting, thus establishing logical links between
authorized spending and broad organizational goals.
The goals, objectives and action steps within the District’s Strategic Plan were
determined by the mission and vision statements and core values of the District and
further established through the process initiated by the Board of Directors through a
Strategic Plan Workshop. Stakeholders that participated in this process included all five
Board Members, the Executive Management team and members of the Employee
Productivity-Innovation-Communications (EPIC) Committee, made up of staff
representatives with varied levels of experience and expertise from across all District
departments.
In the District’s strategic planning, goals are defined as identified challenges the District
would like to address. Initiatives are defined as high-level concepts or plans for
resolving the identified goals. Strategies are defined as action steps to achieving the
identified initiatives, which, in turn, achieve the identified goals.
Five goals were identified as the most critical challenges for the District to address in
the next year:
Goal CP: Community Partnership
Goal FR: Fiscal Responsibility
Goal OE: Operational Efficiency
Goal SR: Service Reliability
Goal WE: Workforce Engagement

Profile of the District
Independent, Trusted and Reliable Service for more than 100 Years
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 been providing 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 company 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 80
employees and a part-time staff of 4 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 70,000
and currently provides water service through approximately 24,703 residential,
commercial, and light industrial connections.
District Services
Residential customers make up approximately 93% of the District’s customer base and
consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District.
The District's drinking water comes from two sources: local groundwater and "imported
water". Approximately 60% comes from local groundwater and 40% comes from
"imported water" from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct and from
Northern California via the State Water Project. The blending of these sources varies
according to your geographic location within the District.
This District operates and maintains 10 ground water wells which pump water from the
Orange County Water Basin to our customers in the northern and western portions of
the District’s service area. This portion of the District accounts for approximately 60% of
the District’s overall water demands. The production of each well can range from 1200
gallons per minute (GPM) to 3200 GPM. The water production is dependent on the
overall condition of the ground water basins. For 2015/16 we are projecting to pump
approximately 13,300 acre feet of ground water or 62% of our total projected water
demands from the ground water basin. The groundwater basin is managed by the
Orange County Water District (OCWD), who allows more than 20 cities and water
Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
17
agencies, including YLWD, to withdraw water from the basin, via wells, at a cost of
approximately $322 per acre-foot. OCWD sets a maximum percentage of water that can
be pumped from the ground, the Basin Production Percentage (BPP).
The remainder of YLWD's drinking water is "imported" water, purchased through the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC, in turn, purchases
water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct, as part of a
consortium of 26 agencies, through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD). The cost of imported water to the retail agencies, such as YLWD, is
almost four times the cost of pumping out of the groundwater basin. Imported water is
treated at MWD's Diemer Filtration Plant, located on Valley View and Diemer Road in
Yorba Linda.
The majority of YLWD's operating expenses are variable water costs, which include
purchasing water from both OCWD and MWDOC, as well as electrical and natural gas
costs to pump water up to the highest elevations.
The District delivers water to approximately 24,000 customers within our service area
which boarders Chino Hills State Park to the north and the Santa Ana River to the south
encompassing the cities of Yorba Linda, portions of Placentia, Brea, Anaheim and
unincorporated Orange County. Our complex system of pipes, valves, pressure control
stations, pump stations and reservoirs are strategically located throughout our service
area so that we can provide reliable, high quality drinking water to our customers. The
current system has the capacity to store approximately 57 million gallons of water in its
reservoirs, can produce 45 million gallons per day through its wells and import water
connections, while maintaining industry standards for water quality and pressures.
Almost ten years ago the District began a $95 million dollar “fast track” capital
improvement program aimed at an infrastructural overhaul to ensure water reliability for
our customers, and to meet current and anticipated consumption and financial
demands. The program includes the construction of water wells, reservoirs, pipelines
and booster pumping stations as well as various other system improvements. These
systems improvements will allow greater access to groundwater throughout our service
area and have the potential to reduce variable costs approximately $1 million per year.
In addition, the ability to access groundwater provided by these upgrades serves to
better prepare the District in the event of scheduled and unscheduled MWD shutdowns.
Historically, YLWD rates have been among the lowest in Orange County, and continue
to be so for the upcoming year.
In fiscal year 2012/13 and 2013/14, the District purchased 21,788.7 acre-feet and
22,645.8 acre-feet of water to provide to customers, respectively. Fiscal year 2015/16 is
forecasted to provide 16,534 acre-feet.

goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s comprehensive master plans, the
long term financial plan, the needs of the community, and federal and state laws.
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s.
A balanced budget is defined as the amount of budgeted expenditures is equal to or
less than the amount of budgeted revenue, plus available fund balance.
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on an accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, an accounting entity which finances and
accounts for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services. It is the intention of the District to recover the full costs of providing
maintenance, goods, and/or services through the collection of user charges.
Revenue and Expenditure Policy

approach using historical trends and current information to maintain consistency,
reliability, and reasonableness.
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.

Reserve Policy
This policy represents the public affirmation of the Board’s commitment to the financial
prudence and careful stewardship of community assets. This policy covers: Operating
Reserve (target level of 8%-17% of annual operating budget); Emergency Reserve
(target level between $1 and $4 million for water fund and $250,000 and $1 million for
sewer fund); Capital Replacement Reserve (target level of $1.82 million for water fund
less money set aside for Maintenance Reserve and $345,000 for sewer fund);
Maintenance Reserve (target level of $200,000); Debt Service Reserve (target level of
highest annual debt service payment); Employee Liabilities Reserve (annual
contribution of $100,000) and US Bank 2008 COP Reserve (target level of $2,147,096).
These funds are designated by the District’s Board to carry out specific purposes to
ensure prudent management of District’s financial resources and are used by District’s
staff as parameters within which the Board expects staff to operate.
The Financial Reserve Policy has three primary goals:
To preserve the financial stability of the District against present and future
uncertainties in an ever-changing environment
To maintain the District’s bond ratings in the capital markets and sustaining debt
covenant compliance
To provide adequate funding to meet the District’s short-term and long-term
plans and commitments to its customers
All reserve balances will be subject to review by the Board of Directors on an annual
basis as part of the budget process.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the District to invest funds in a manner that will provide the highest
investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow
demands of the District and conforming to all statutes governing the investment of the
District funds. The policy follows the “prudent investor” standard of the California
Government Code Section 53600.3 and is updated and formally adopted by the District
on an annual basis.

Basis of Budgeting & Accounting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on the accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on the cash basis of accounting.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the majority of the costs of
the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities through user-
charges and the receipt of property taxes.
Budget Controls
When the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Operating and Capital Budget is approved by the Board,
budgeted amounts are appropriated and expended within each department.
Subject to the approval of the annual budget by the Board of Directors, the General
Manager has full charge and control of the District’s expenditures to ensure that
operating and capital expenditures in each fiscal year are within the budgetary
guidelines and to ensure that the District’s goals and objectives are met.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Throughout the year, Finance and other department managers will review actual results
of operating expenditures as compared to the budgeted amounts approved by the
Board of Directors in June 2015. The General Manager has the authority to make
administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a
significant policy impact nor affect the budgeted year-end fund balances. Any
significant program changes or service level changes require approval by the Board of
Directors. All budget transfers are documented and tracked within the Finance
Department.
Review and adjustments to the capital budget appropriations are also recommended
throughout the fiscal year. Project managers may find that some projects contemplated
at the beginning of the fiscal year have been delayed or accelerated due to changes in
conditions, weather and/or economics, and new projects may be added to meet future
demands, goals and objectives. Any recommended changes to the Capital
Improvement Budget would be brought to the Board of Directors for approval.

Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors are required for authorizing positions in
the service of the District and for setting salary ranges for those authorized positions.
The General Manager is authorized to use savings from vacant authorized positions to
retain contract labor to meet District personnel needs. The General Manager is also
authorized to fill an approved and budgeted position that is vacated during the term of
the budget year with a new employee at an equal or lower classification. The budget
may need to be modified to reflect labor and benefit agreements. These changes would
be approved by the Board of Directors.
As defined by the District’s Purchasing Policy, in the event that the General Manager
determines that an emergency exists and requires immediate action, the General
Manager shall have the power, without prior Board action, to enter into contracts and
agreements and expend funds on behalf of the District beyond the final approved fiscal
year budget in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Those amounts shall be ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called. Amounts in
excess of $100,000 require Board of Director approval and shall be formally ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called.
Budget Process
The budget process begins in January of each year and is the product of a
comprehensive team effort from various levels within the organization, as shown on the
following Budget Calendar. Each year, the Finance Department prepares expenditure
budget worksheets for distribution to key staff. These worksheets give staff the
necessary information to project their department’s budgets by category. Included in
the worksheets are the past year’s actual expenses, current year transactions, and
projected current year end balances. Based on the information provided, and
accounting for any changes for anticipated purchases, the requested amounts from the
worksheet are entered into the budget system and compared to last year’s budget. Any
substantial budget change needs to be justified by the respective departments.
The Human Resources Department reviews the employee positions and wages of the
District. The Human Resources Department makes a recommendation to the General
Manager if new positions need to be added, changes in job descriptions need to occur,
or reclassifications of position are required. The results of this review are presented to
the Board of Directors for further input and approval. The approved personnel
recommendations are entered into the budget system for inclusion in the budget
document.

The Engineering Department prepares a list of CIP projects to be presented to the
Board of Directors. Based on recommendations from staff, each CIP project will be
prioritized based on necessity. The Engineering Department will also update the future
project list and will incorporate cost changes due to construction cost increases or a
change in the scope of the project.
The method to determine the revenue projections takes into account factors such as
projected growth, required conservation, historical activity, and the current economic
conditions.
Once all the components have been calculated, each department presents their
departmental budget to the General Manager and Management Team for review.
Comments and changes that are recommended by staff are included in a draft
document that is then presented to the Board of Directors in a public forum for review
and comment. Once all approved changes have been incorporated into the draft
document, a final budget is then presented to the Board of Directors for adoption.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department level. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Revenue Assumptions
The main source of Operating Revenue for the District is water and sewer rate revenue.
However, rate revenue is not enough to fund the total cost of operations and must be
supplemented by a variety of miscellaneous/other operating revenues. Other operating
revenues include items such as customer service fees, unmetered jumpers, and other
sources. Total operating revenues are projected to decrease at a rate of 1.2% in FY
2015/2016. Water operating revenues as a result of water sales are estimated to
decrease by 1.9% to $28,623,519 in FY 2015/16. This estimated decrease is deflated
due to the inclusion of projected increases in revenues as a result of the Water Rate
Study and assessed Administrative Penalties for excessive water usage. Sewer
operating revenues are estimated to decrease by 1.2% to $1,822,139 in FY 2015/16.
Water Operating Fund
Potable Water sales are the largest source of District revenues, with the majority of
sales to residential customers. In previous years, mild weather conditions, less that
desirable economic conditions, and a strong water conservation message have resulted
in lower consumption demand and thus lower than anticipated water revenues. In the
current year, due to the Governor’s official Declaration of Drought and mandated
conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, comparative to calendar year 2013, set by the
Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

SWRCB, the District is budgeting for at a 29% conservation reduction of current
forecasted usage.
There is no tiered water rate structure at YLWD. Therefore, Water Revenues are
calculated using the average number of units consumed per customer account, a
proposed monthly fixed charge per account, and a proposed $2.70 per billing unit
consumed (which is 100 cubic feet (ccf) or approximately 750 gallons). The result is
then annualized for the budget projection. The budget assumes a yearly demand of
16,534 acre feet (AF) in FY 2015/16. The chart below displays the historical trend of
water revenue.
Revenue from Service Charges is a calculation of the projected number of service
connections for FY 2015/16 (24,703) multiplied by the proposed fixed service charge
based on meter size.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to backflow charges,
unmetered jumpers, construction meters, new account fees, and other income, are
projected based upon historical activity and current economic conditions. Included in
Other Income Revenues for FY 2015/16, in response to the SWRCB’s Emergency
Drought, are revenues collected in the form of administrative penalties imposed upon
District customers who exceed water use restrictions.
Interest Income for the water operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.

Property Tax Income is projected based on the assumptions of the Orange County Tax
Assessor. The District anticipates receiving 97% of its share of the ad valorem tax
revenue, which will result in a 1% increase when compared to the previous year.
Other Non-Operating Revenue, which include but are not limited to annexation fees,
rental income, and other sources, are projected based upon historical activity and
current economic conditions.

Sewer Operating Fund
The District’s Sewer Revenues are based on the sewer collection services provided to
our customers.
Sewer maintenance charges will remain fixed at $5.50 per month for single family
residential customers with associated charges for multi-family and commercial
accounts. The District will provide sewage collection services for approximately 25,300
sewer service connections.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to sewer collection fees and
miscellaneous income, are projected based upon the historical activity and current
economic conditions.
Interest Income for the sewer operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.

Cost Allocation
The allocation of costs are derived from cost accounting. Cost accounting is defined as
the process of tracking, recording and analyzing costs associated with the products or
activities of an organization. The costs of operating expenses including employee
wages and benefits are allocated to each department and division, based on actual
expenses as tracked by the District’s accounting system. The District’s budget is
presented with an allocation of 93% to the Water Fund and 7% to the Sewer Fund, with
the exceptions of the Water Production, Water Operations, and Mechanical Services
sections which are allocated 100% to the Water Fund. Additionally, the Sewer
Operations section, which includes sewer-related expenses including vehicle
maintenance, is allocated 100% to the Sewer Fund. The methodology used to
determine the allocation percentages involved discussions with personnel from each
department where they were to identify a basis for each section by which an allocation
percentage could be used. This analysis concluded that the allocation percentage
described above was appropriate.
Costs associated with capital projects are tracked by the means of assigned “Job
Numbers”. Salaries affiliated with capital projects are allocated to the appropriate CIP
accounts based on actual timesheet entries. An overhead of approximately 33% is
applied to the allocated salary costs by job number in order to provide a true salary and
benefit cost applicable to CIP projects.

Five Year Financial Projections (FY 2016-2020)
Narrative
This financial projection is designed to provide a general understanding of how
revenues and expenditures are expected to influence the District over the next five
years. Revenue and expenditure projections are reviewed in relation to their effect on
funding capital projects, reserve levels, and operating fund balances. The District will
update its projections on an annual basis in order to plan for the future and determine
recommended rates. The projection factors in debt ratios, reserve balances, projected
rate increases, cost increases and growth projections.
The assumptions in the following projections include:
Costs passed-through for all variable water cost rate increases
Annexation to OCWD in FY 14/15
$7 million borrowing through a Line of Credit in FY 12/13 at an interest rate of One
Month LIBOR + 0.90%, with renewals every 3 years
Principal repayment due September 16, 2016
A 0.04% annual growth in customer accounts
No change to the sewer rate, but an alignment to address a disparity in our rates in
FY 2015/16
Average interest earnings at 0.3 % - 1.2%
1% growth in property taxes
1.5% annual increase in other non-operating revenue other than annexation
amortization
9% annual increases in variable water costs
8% annual increases in salary related expenses
3-8% annual increases in supplies and services expenses with the following
exceptions:
Board Election expense only budgeted every other year
Interest expense equal to those scheduled by the existing bonds and assumed
interest rate of 1.5-2.0% for Line of Credit
No change to future budgets for other non-operating expenses
Depreciation increases based on the projected completion of CIP jobs
The District is still in the middle of an aggressive CIP spending plan that was created
with the issuance of the 2008 Certificates of Participation. The following projections
include the completion of that spending plan.

Debt Administration
The District’s debt rating from Fitch is “AA”. The District has no formal debt policy and
no legal debt limit; however, the District’s future borrowing capacity is limited by the debt

revenue and expenses data pertaining to the Water Fund only and the covenants
require that the coverage exceed 1.1. The District’s budgeted ratio is 1.25 for Fiscal
Year 2016. This District’s Fiscal Year 2015/16 budgeted debt service obligation
($2,721,559) is related to its two existing debt issuances. Use of proceeds and the

Financial Policies
Introduction
The District’s financial policy documents incorporate many of the District’s financial
management practices that are used by the District staff as guidelines for operational
and strategic decision-making related to current and future financial matters.
The purpose of establishing these policies is to identify acceptable and unacceptable
courses of action, thus establishing parameters in which the District’s fiscal performance
can be reviewed. Some policies are flexible when they are utilized by District staff as
performance measurement tools to monitor the District’s finances, while others are
restrictive to emphasize accountability.
The Operating Budget Policy and Revenues and Expenditures Policy are internal
documents, acting as a guideline for staff, and are not reviewed by the Board. The
Financial Reserves Policy and Investment Policy are reviewed by District staff and
Board Members annually, to accommodate minor changes to the existing policy or
major shifts in financial priorities as approved by the District’s Board of Directors.
The District’s financial policies encompass the following functional areas:
Operating Budget Policy
Revenues and Expenditures Policy

Operating Budget Policy
The operating budget policy answers some basic questions such as: How is the budget
developed? Who is involved in the budget process? What does the budget include?
Budget Development
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s strategic plan, the needs of the
community, and federal and state laws.
Guidelines with respect to the District’s budget are as follows:
The budget should support the District’s mission statement, strategic goals, and
critical priorities
There should be no deferment of critical maintenance
The budget should be regarded as a business operating plan
The budget should balance the needs to pay for the District’s cost of providing
services, debt service obligation and capital needs of the District
Expenses should be budgeted for in appropriate departments to correctly identify
the cost of providing various District functions and services
Budget Form
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s. Proposed
revenues and expenditures including debt service expenditures are presented to the
Board of Directors along with comparisons to projected expenditures for the current
year and actual expenditures of the prior two years.
Basis of Budgeting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for the
District is kept on an accrual basis, with the exception of supplies & services, which are
budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the full costs of supplying
goods and/or services through user-charges.

83
The District’s budget process was developed with a series of goals and objectives in
mind. These goals and objectives are communicated throughout the organization
through several meetings. During the process, the Board of Directors provides priorities
and guidelines to the General Manager. The General Manager then discusses Board
priorities and other future issues and concerns with Department Heads during staff
meetings. Once goals and objectives for the upcoming year are identified, the General
Manager and the District staff start developing the District’s budget. Where practical,
the District integrates performance measurement, service level, and productivity
indicators in the District’s adopted budget document. The District will continue to
emphasize the importance of meeting each department’s goals and objectives in order
to accomplish its long-term goals and objectives.
An increase in the Operating and Capital budget may result in water rate increases. In
order to minimize the impact on the District’s rates, revenue requirements are
scrutinized to achieve operating efficiencies and maintain or increase customer service
at the same time. As part of the cost containment efforts, District staff re-visits
operating priorities and reviews internal procedures to included utilizing outside services
when they can offer greater competitive advantages to doing it internally, or investing in
technology to increase productivity and to reduce the need for additional staff.

Revenues and Expenditures Policies
This policy is used as an aid to provide for the consistent provision of essential public
services since revenues and expenditures are the key drivers of the District’s
operations. The goal of this policy is to help ensure the financial stability regardless of
the economic situation and to provide information to the Board that revenue and
expenditure practices are consistent with the District’s mission and goals.
Revenues Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using certain techniques such as historical trends and current information to
maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
User Charges
User charges are the most important component of the District’s revenue portfolio. The
District uses user charges to fund the provision of services provided to its customers.
The District utilizes a cost recovery component to determine how much costs need be
recovered from various customers. The cost of providing various services is used as
the basis for setting rates and fees to the various types of customers served.
The following are guidelines for the user charge setting process:
User charges are established utilizing a generally accepted cost recovery
methodology that is consistent and legally defendable using the following
approaches: revenue requirement analysis, cost of service analysis, and rate
design analysis.
Rate designs shall be reflective of the District’s Board of Directors’ rate setting
objectives.
Rates shall be set at a level so that the District will collect reliable revenues
through a combination of system access charges and users’ commodity rates to
pay for the District’s revenue requirement.
Rates and charges will be reviewed and updated regularly based on factors such
as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of
costs and requirements of the rate covenant.
Expenditures Policy
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and Staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.

Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
The basic components of the District’s expenditure policies are broken down into two
functional areas: Maintenance of Capital Assets and Review of Service
Maintenance of Capital Assets
Maintaining a reliable transmission and distribution system and a sustained capital
program are simply not possible without reliable funding sources. For this reason,
prudent financial planning is imperative to an effective capital improvement program.
The District uses a combination of “pay as you go” method and long term funding to
fund the District’s capital improvement program and maintenance of its capital assets.
A fixed annual amount was projected by an Asset Management Plan and is included in
the District’s Reserve Policy as an annual revenue requirement to be collected from
rates and charges. The annual contributions then are accumulated and kept in the
District’s capital fund to be spent and withdrawn for the District’s betterment and
replacement projects over a period of time.
The following elements of expenditure policy reflect the District’s philosophy to perform
ongoing maintenance of capital investments once they are purchased and capitalized:
Maintain consistency of allocation of resources for programs to carry out the
District’s mission and goals to its customers
Within the resources available each fiscal year, the District shall maintain capital
assets and infrastructure at a satisfactory level to protect the District’s
investment, to minimize the future replacement and maintenance costs, and to
continue service levels.
Review of Service
These expenditure policies are used by staff to prompt review of services to see if they
are being provided as effectively and efficiently as possible. The District’s review of
service policy is as follows:
Utilize technology and productivity advancements that will help reduce or avoid
increasing personnel costs, when practicable.
Control personnel costs as a proportion of total budget, to more productively and
creatively use available resources.

controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and their procedures in
the absence of the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the
management of investment activities, including the activities of staff consistent
with this Policy.

3.2 The Treasurer may retain the services of an outside investment advisor or
manager as approved by the Board to assist with the District’s investment
program. Any investment advisor selected shall make all investment decisions
and transactions in strict accordance with State law, and this Policy.
SECTION 4: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
4.1 The primary objectives, in priority order, of the District’s investment activities shall
be:
4.1.1 Safety: Safety and preservation of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment program. Investments shall be selected in a manner that
seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the District’s overall portfolio.
This will be accomplished through a program of diversification and
maturity limitations, more fully described in Section 13, in order that
potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
4.1.2 Liquidity: The District’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid
to enable the District to meet all operating requirements which might be
reasonably anticipated. Securities should mature concurrent with cash
needs to meet anticipated demands.
4.1.3 Return on Investments: The District’s investment portfolio shall be
designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns on
investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints and
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives.
SECTION 5: PRUDENCE
5.1 The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be
the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent investor is
explained in CGC Section 53600.3, which states that “when investing,
reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds,
a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting
in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of
Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
93
funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and
maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”
5.2 The Treasurer and delegated investment officers, acting in accordance with
District procedures and the Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved
of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price
changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion
and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
5.3 Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then
prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to
be derived.
SECTION 6.0: ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the
investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial
investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the
District’s General Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions
that conduct business with the District’s boundaries, and they shall further
disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to
the performance of the District.
SECTION 7: AUTHORIZED BROKER/DEALERS
7.1 The Treasurer will maintain a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial
institutions that are approved for investment purposes. Broker/dealers will be
selected for credit worthiness and must be authorized to provide investment
services in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or
regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule
15(C)3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit will be made by the
broker/dealer except in a qualified public depository as established by the
established state laws. Before a financial institution or broker/dealer is used,
they are subject to investigation and approval by the Treasurer or his/her
designated representative, and must submit the following:
7.1.1 Certification of having read and understood this investment policy
resolution and agreeing to comply with the District’s investment policy;
7.1.2 Proof of Federal Investment Regulatory Authority certification;
Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting

7.1.3 Proof of State of California registration;
7.1.4 Audited financial statements for the institution’s three (3) most recent fiscal
years;
7.1.5 References of other public-sector clients that similar services are provided
to.
7.2 If a third party investment advisor is authorized to conduct investment
transactions on the District’s behalf, the investment advisor may use their own list
of approved independent broker/dealers and financial institutions. The
investment advisor’s approved list must be made available to the District upon
request.
SECTION 8: AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
8.1 The District is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under the CGC
Sections 53601 et seq. Authorized investments shall also include, in accordance
with CGC section 16429.1 et seq., investments into the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) and the Orange County Treasurer’s Commingled Investment Pool in
accordance with CGC section 53684. Within the investments permitted by the
CGC, the District seeks to further restrict eligible investment to the investments
listed in Section 8.3 below. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply
at the time the security is purchased. Ratings, where shown, specify the
minimum credit rating category required at purchased without regard to +/- or
1,2,3 modifiers, if any.
8.2 The purchase of any investment permitted by the CGC, but not listed as an
authorized investment in this Policy is prohibited without the prior approval of the
Board of Directors.
8.3 Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized:

SECTION 9: REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
9.1 The securities held by the District must be in compliance with Section 8
Authorized Investments at the time of purchase. The Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to verify that all securities are in compliance with
Section 8 Authorized Investments. In the event a security held by the District is
subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings
specified in Appendix A Authorized Investments, the Treasurer should notify the
Finance-Accounting Committee - and through the Committee’s minutes, the
Board - of the change. The course of action to be followed will then be decided
on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change,
prognosis for recovery or further rate drops, and the market price of the security.
SECTION 10: INVESTMENT POOLS
10.1 A thorough investigation of any investment pool or mutual fund is required prior
to investing, and on a continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum,
obtain the following information:
10.1.1 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policy and objectives;
10.1.2 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how
gains and losses are treated;
10.1.3 A description of how the securities are safeguarded (included the
settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the
program audited;
10.1.4 A description of who may invest in the program, how often and what size
deposit and withdrawal are allowed;
10.1.5 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings;
10.1.6 Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund;
10.1.7 A fee schedule and when and how it is assessed;
10.1.8 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such
proceeds.

SECTION 11: COLLATERALIZATION
11.1 Bank Deposits: Under provisions of the CGC, California banks and savings and
loan associations are required to secure the District’s deposits by pledging
eligible securities with a value of 110% of principal and accrued interest. State
law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by pledging first
trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the District’s total deposits.
11.2 Waiver of Security: The Treasurer, at his/her discretion and in accordance with
CGC section 53653, may waive security for the portion of any deposits as is
insured pursuant to federal law.
SECTION 12: SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
12.1 All security transactions entered into by the District shall be conducted on a
delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian
designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The only
exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases
made with (i) local government investment pools, and (ii) money market mutual
funds, since those purchased securities are not deliverable.
SECTION 13: DIVERSIFICATION AND MAXIMUM MATURITIES
13.1 The District will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the
exception of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agency Securities, FDIC Insured Certificates
of Deposit and authorized pools, no more than 30% of the District’s total
investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single
financial institution.
13.2 To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow and
approved in advance by the Board of Directors, the District will not directly invest
in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.
SECTION 14: INTERNAL CONTROLS
14.1 The external auditors will annually review the investments and general activities
associated with the investment program. This review will provide internal control
by assuring compliance with the Investment Policy and District policies and
procedures.

SECTION 15: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
15.1 The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the
investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
15.2 The District’s investment strategy is passive. The performance of the District’s
investment portfolio will be evaluated and compared to an appropriate
benchmark in order to assess the success of the investment portfolio relative to
the District’s Safety, Liquidity and Return on Investments objectives. This review
will be conducted annually with the Finance-Accounting Committee.
SECTION 16: REPORTING
16.1 Subject to CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), the Treasurer will provide monthly
investment reports to the District’s Finance-Accounting Committee (and through
the Committee’s minutes, to the Board of Directors) and quarterly reports to the
Board of Directors which provide a clear picture of the status of the current
investment portfolio. The reports shall comply with the reporting requirements of
CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), respectively.
SECTION 17: INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
17.1 The District’s Investment Policy will be adopted by resolution of the Board of
Directors. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and modification, if

Subject:Water Conservation Participation Agreement with Municipal Water District of
Orange County (MWDOC)
SUMMARY:
The Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC) administers multiple water conservation
rebate programs that YLWD has participated in since 2004. Traditionally, each rebate program has
been approved separately through individual agreements. This year, MWDOC has created an
"umbrella" agreement that will allow agencies to more easily adjust their funding amounts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute MWDOC's Water
Conservation Participation Agreement.
DISCUSSION:
YLWD's FY 2015/16 budget reflects a total of $5,000 for various rebate programs through
MWDOC. As the $5,000 is a not-to-exceed amount, any funds not rebated will not be required to be
spent.
Under the new "umbrella" agreement, YLWD can choose which programs they wish to participate in
and make adjustments to any not-to-exceed amounts through addendums, as necessary, rather
than bringing the whole agreement back to the Board of Directors for approval.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
CP 2-A: Provide Financial Incentives and Rebates for Water Use Efficiency
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board has approved Participation Agreements with MWDOC for the Smart Timer and Rotating
Nozzle and Turf Removal rebates.

Water Conservation Participation Agreement between
the Municipal Water District of Orange County and Yorba Linda Water District
This Water Conservation Participation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (“MWDOC”) and Yorba Linda Water District
(“Participant Agency”). MWDOC and Participant Agency may be collectively referred to as
“Parties” and individually as “Party.”
Recitals
A. The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (“Metropolitan”) provides
incentive funding to residential, commercial, and industrial water users in its service area
for a variety of water conservation activities, including, but not limited to, rebates for the
purchase and installation of water-saving devices (“Metropolitan Base Incentives”).
B. MWDOC is a member agency of Metropolitan and has agreements with Metropolitan
that enable residential, commercial, and industrial water users in MWDOC’s service area,
and for the benefit of MWDOC’s member agencies, to participate in and take advantage
of Metropolitan’s Base Incentives.
C. Participant Agency, as a MWDOC member agency or a direct Metropolitan member
agency, may elect to participate in Metropolitan’s program to replace non-conserving
items within its service area.
D. The Metropolitan Base Incentives amounts for each eligible device or program available
to MWDOC and Metropolitan member agencies are listed in the attached Addendums 1A
and 1B. It is expected that Metropolitan will establish funding for additional water
conservation items and to change some or all of the existing funding rates throughout the
term of this Agreement. Any such changes will be incorporated herein by amendment to
Addendums 1A and 1B.
E. Metropolitan and MWDOC each have fiscal responsibility to manage their individual
budgets, and hence may have a need to limit availability of funds.
F. MWDOC and Metropolitan member agencies may also choose to provide additional
supplemental funding of their own to augment the Metropolitan Base Incentives. Based
on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MWDOC will facilitate supplemental
funding for Participant Agency through the Metropolitan rebate contractor (“Rebate
Contractor”) or MWDOC directly. Metropolitan member agencies will coordinate any
supplemental funding directly with Metropolitan.
G. In addition to the Metropolitan Base Incentives, MWDOC has developed and arranged
additional local, state, and federal grant funding (“Grant Funding”) for eligible devices in
a number of water conservation programs (“MWDOC Administered Programs”) that
MWDOC offers to Participant Agency and Metropolitan member agencies. This grant
funding may be used to enhance the Metropolitan Base Incentives. Granting agencies
Page | 2
include, but are not limited to, the Department of Water Resources and the United States
Bureau of Reclamation.
H. Participant Agency may also operate customized, local water conservation incentive
programs in their respective service areas (“Participant Agency Administered Programs)
and may have access to the Metropolitan Base Incentives and Grant Funding for such,
subject to MWDOC and Metropolitan approval and the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and any MWDOC and/or Metropolitan agreements.
I. The purpose of this Agreement is to create a master water conservation participation
agreement between MWDOC and Participant Agency that combines all of the
conservation programs and incentives (“Programs”) into one agreement. Addendums to
this Agreement will be issued for changes involving Metropolitan approved items,
MWDOC Board approved items, Grant Funding, adding and subtracting MWDOC
Administered Programs and Participant Agency Administered Programs as identified in
Section 2, and changes to incentive programs, including funding and incentive levels.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants hereinafter set
forth, the Parties do agree as follows:
Section 1: Agreement Term and Administration
1.1 This Agreement will be effective on July 1, 2015 or upon execution of this Agreement by
all Parties, whichever is later, and shall terminate on June 30, 2025 (‘Term”).
Continuance of this Agreement will be subject to annual budget approval by MWDOC’s
Board of Directors.
1.2 This Agreement may be amended at any time by written mutual agreement of the Parties,
or by Addendums issued by MWDOC as set forth in Recital I.
1.3 This Agreement may be terminated by either Party for any reason upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the other Party.
1.4 All Addendums are enforced for the duration of this Agreement unless the Addendums
are amended or terminated by either Party.
1.5 In the event the Agreement is terminated early, Participant Agency is responsible for
payment of any funding contributions required by this Agreement that that were initiated
prior to the effective date of the termination. For purposes of this Agreement, an
application is deemed initiated when an application has been received by Metropolitan’s
rebate vendor, EGIA, by MWDOC, or a reservation has been made within any of
MWDOC’s online application portals that is pursuant to any of the programs described
within this Agreement and the attached Addendums.
1.6 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, funds for all of the programs
described within this Agreement and the attached Addendums are conditioned upon the
Page | 3
availability of funds and MWDOC is under no obligation to provide funding for any of
the programs if MWDOC determines, in its own discretion, that such funding is
exhausted, reduced, eliminated, or unavailable from any funding source, for any reason.
Section 2: Program Funding
2.1 Supplemental Funding
2.1.1 In addition to the Metropolitan Base Incentives, Participant Agency may provide
additional funding to augment the Metropolitan Base Incentives amounts for those
programs and devices that Participant Agency identifies, and in the amounts indicated, in
the appropriate locations in Addendums 2A, 2B, and 2C (“Supplemental Funding”). The
Supplemental Funding listed in Addendums 2A through 2C shall specify the amount of
Supplemental Funding Participant Agency will provide per device or program, as well as
the total maximum Supplemental Funding amount committed to each category of device
or program. If the Participant Agency does not complete, sign, and return Addendums 2A
through 2C to MWDOC, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Participant Agency will not be bound by this Section or the provisions in Addendums 2A
through 2C. In general, Supplemental Funding Addendums submitted by the 15th of a
month will become effective the first of the following month.
2.1.2 If Participant Agency elects to provide Supplemental Funding or enhanced
incentives under this Agreement for any device or program, Participant Agency is
responsible for tracking the use of and the remaining availability of those funds.
MWDOC will assist, in every way possible, but the ultimate responsibility for tracking
all Participant Agency funding is the responsibility of Participant Agency. Participant
Agency will ultimately be responsible for any overuse of Participant Agency
Supplemental Funding.
2.1.3 Any requests for changes or revisions to Participant Agency’s Supplemental
Funding, including funding transfers between Programs, must be submitted by
Participant Agency to MWDOC in the form of revised Addendum 2s listing the new
funding amounts/limits.
2.1.4 The Participant Agency may elect to participate in the Supplemental Funding
Program and be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.1, Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of
this Agreement, and Addendum 2A through 2C by having its authorized representative
complete and sign Addendum 2A through 2C in the spaces provided.
2.2 MWDOC Administered Programs
2.2.2 Participant Agency may elect to take advantage of the MWDOC Administered
Programs by having its authorized representative complete and sign Addendums 3A
through 3C in the spaces provided. If Participant Agency completes and signs
Addendums 3A through 3C, Participant Agency agrees to be bound by the provisions of
this Section 2.2, Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of this Agreement, and Addendums 3A through
Page | 4
3C. If the Participant Agency does not complete, sign, and return Addendums 3A
through 3C, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Participant
Agency will not be bound by this Section or the provisions in Addendums 3A through
3C.
2.3 Participant Agency Administered Programs
2.3.1 From time to time, funding may be made available for Participant Agency to
operate a customized member agency administered local water conservation incentive
program or programs (“Participant Agency Administered” “PA” or “MAA Program”) in
its service area and access the Metropolitan Base Incentives for such, subject to MWDOC
approval of the program and the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Addendum
4. The Participant Agency Administered Program(s) and requirements in connection with
it are described in more detail in Addendum 4.
2.3.2 Upon receipt of approval of a Participant Agency Administered Program by
MWDOC, Participant Agency is bound by the provisions of Sections 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of
this Agreement and Addendum 4.
2.4 Exhaustion of Funding
2.4.1 In the event Participant Agency provided funding for any Program or device is
exhausted, and Participant Agency does not elect to add additional funding or transfer
available funding from another Program or device, MWDOC will discontinue offering
the additional rebate funding for that Program or device in Participant Agency’s service
area. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, MWDOC may terminate
this Agreement as it relates to Section 2 at any time without prior notice in the event that
MWDOC determines that funding for any device or program on Addendums 2 through 4
or MWDOC Grant Funding is exhausted, reduced, eliminated, or unavailable from any
funding source, for any reason.
Section 3: Participant Agency Responsibility and Ownership
3.1 Participant Agency, at its sole discretion, may independently contract with its own agents
under separate agreements for program administration and management for any

8.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Participant Agency
acknowledges and agrees that MWDOC may request and use historical water
consumption data for purposes of satisfying any grant water use and water quality
evaluation requirements of any of the Programs. Participant Agency also acknowledges

PROVEN EXPERIENCE LEADING SPECIAL DISTRICTS
It would be an honor to continue serving special districts on the CSDA Board of Directors .
I am committed to building on the present foundation of CSDA' s educational programs and
legislative and public outreach, so that CSDA continues to be recognized as the voice of all
special districts . My enthusiasm, commitment, and comprehensive knowledge of special
districts and LAFCO, along with my years of experience, will help me to be of service to your
district as a member of the CSDA Board of Directors .
Representing the Southern Network, I will bring to the organization years of experience in
local government and a strong understanding of how the California Special Districts
Association can best serve its members .
I have served as CSDA President, Treasurer and the Chair of Legislative Committee . I know
the commitment and time it takes to be an effective board member. A flexible schedule is
paramount to being a successful Director. I have attended all board of director and
assigned committee meetings, read through a myriad of legislation in order to relate to the
Advocacy and Public Affairs Department what impact I think such legislation may have on
districts' ability to provide local services
I have completed CSDA' s Special District Leadership Academy which is a requirement to
serve on the CSDA Board . Under my leadership, my district, Vista Irrigation District, has
obtained the Special District Leadership Foundation District of Distinction Designation and
the District Transparency Certificate of Excellence .
I believe it is important to the continued success and growth of CSDA that the Board of
Directors remain committed to its mission : to provide legislative advocacy education and
member services for all special districts .
Your District's vote will be greatly appreciated !
CANDIDATE STATEMENT FOR GLORIA A. DIZMANG
In December of 2011 , 1 was sworn in as a Director of the Palmdale Water District
Board . I knew little about water but I had agreed to serve an agency that was fairly beaten
up — legally, economically, and in the area of morale . PWD was engaged in three lawsuits
with the City of Palmdale . We had dropped in our credit rating and could no longer receive
loans/grants. The employees were split into two warring camps .
Today, we are on our way to a stable and professional future, due to the actions of
the new Board, on which I serve . This is what we have achieved :
– Low and consistent rate increases improved our credit to the point that we issued
an $ 8 . 5 million revenue bond for infrastructure .
– Provided a legal water rate assistance program for seniors .
– Settled all lawsuits with the City of Palmdale .
– Developed a Customer Care program to assist our rate -payers .
– Replaced 80 % of our infrastructure from the 1950s.
– Reordered the organizational chart, without lay- offs, for more efficiency.
– Developed and implemented educational programs for our rate - payers . (top
contender in ACWA' s Best in Blue)
– Developed and continue to offer an intern program to train young people in the
basic facets of the water industry.
As part of our Board, I was a leading member to move in these directions .
I believe my background in education can be of assistance in the CSDA. My
experience in the area looks small in comparison to others who have served on many
boards and in many organizations . Nevertheless, I can see things with a different
perspective and am not afraid to speak up and to actively support change .
I would be honored to receive your vote . Thank you .

Subject:Proposed Amended and Restated Independent Special Districts of Orange County
(ISDOC) Bylaws
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider approving the amended and restated ISDOC bylaws.
DISCUSSION:
ISDOC's bylaws were last amended and approved by the membership in December 2013. In November
2014, an officer of the Executive Committee was not re-elected by their respective District and a mid-term
vacancy was created. The revised bylaws were silent on this situation.
In February 2015, the Executive Committee formed an ad hoc committee, which was tasked with
reviewing the bylaws and suggesting modifications for previously unforeseen situations. The resulting
proposed amendments went through a formal review and comment process which culminated in an
affirmative vote of ISDOC's Executive Committee for approval and presentation to the membership for a
vote. Members must submit their ballots by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 24, 2015.
Although the majority of the modifications are simply cleanup or consolidation of language, the
following substantial changes are being proposed:
1.Location for official document storage.
2.Election of single candidates for office by ratification.
3.Process for filling midterm vacancies in officer positions.
4.Removal of officers for excessive absences.
Detailed information regarding the proposed changes and a copy of the draft amended and restated
bylaws are attached.

DATE : June 10, 2015
TO : ISDOC Members
FROM : Mike Scheafer, President, ISDOC Executive Committee
SUBJECT : Proposed Amended and Restated Bylaws
In 2013 , ISDOC concluded a multiyear review and modification process of its bylaws . Revised
bylaws were approved by a majority of members on December 10, 2013 . In November 2014, an
officer of the Executive Committee was not re-elected by his District and a mid-term vacancy was
created. The revised bylaws were silent on this situation.
Last February, the Executive Committee formed an ad hoc committee, which was tasked with
reviewing the bylaws and suggesting modifications for previously unforeseen situations . At its April
meeting, the ad hoc committee presented its recommendations to the ISDOC Executive Committee.
The Executive Committee discussed the proposed charges and endorsed submittal of the revised
bylaws to the general membership for comment. No comments were received. At its recent June
meeting, the Executive Committee approved the amended and restated bylaws and authorized their
submission to special district members for a vote.
A ballot has been included with this memo, as well as a copy of the proposed amended and restated
bylaws . Each regular member in good standing is entitled to one vote . The ballot must be signed
by the presiding officer of the special district or an alternate designated by official action of
the district. Ballots must be received by 5 : 00 p.m. on July 24th ; the results will be announced
at the July 30th quarterly meeting.
The proposed amended bylaws contain a number of revisions to the current ISDOC bylaws .
Although the majority of the modifications are simply cleaning-up and/or consolidating language
and subsequent section renumbering, there are four substantial changes proposed; those proposals
are identified below.
Significant modifications proposed by the Executive Committee :
1 . Official Document Storage (Page 1 , Article I, Section III, language added) :

records) of the Organization shall be maintained and stored at the administrative office .
2 . Election of Single Candidates for Office by Ratification (Page 5 , Articled III, Section II,
Subsection D added) :
D . The Executive Committee shall be elected following a notice of position availability
and solicitation for nominations . At the end of the nominating period, if only one candidate
is nominated for a vacant seat, that candidate shall be deemed selected. If two or more
candidates are nominated, the Secretary shall prepare and deliver one ballot and voting
instructions to each eligible district. The ballot shall include the names of all nominees and
the office for which each was nominated. Each presiding officer, or his or her alternate as
designated by the governing body, shall return the ballot to the Secretary by the date
specified in the voting instructions.
3 . Process for Filling Midterm Vacancies in Officer Positions (Page 5 , Article III, Section II,
Subsection E and F added) :
E. With the exception of the immediate past president, if a vacancy occurs on the
Executive Committee, the Committee shall, within 60 days from the commencement of the
vacancy, either fill the vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy.
A person appointed or elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the unexpired term of the
former incumbent.
F. If the vacancy is in the offices of President or Vice President, the Executive
Committee may, prior to an election to fill the vacancy, move current officers into vacant
positioris. -offs proceed then to fill the resulting vacant position in accordance with Section E
above.
3 . Removal of Officers for Excessive Absences (page 7, Article III, Section III, Subsection D
added) :
D . The Executive Committee may consider removing Officers who miss three
consecutive meetings. Prior to removing an Officer, the Committee shall consider the
reasons for absence and the potential for continued absence. A unanimous vote of the
Executive Committee shall be required to remove an officer.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: July 9, 2015
To: Board of Directors
From: Marc Marcantonio, General Mgr
Presented By: Marc Marcantonio, General Mgr
Prepared By: Damon Micalizzi, Public Affairs Mgr
Subject: H.R. 2892 (Valadao, R-CA) The Western Water & American Food Security Act of 2015
SUMMARY:
H.R. 2892, The Western Water & American Food Security Act of 2015, seeks to rebalance
water policies in California and the West. It includes provisions designed to increase water
deliveries to San Joaquin Valley agriculture at the expense of flows now dedicated to
protecting fisheries - including endangered salmon and Delta smelt.
Under current law, the Department of Fish and Wildlife Service has restricted the amount of
water pumped to farms and cities, instead letting it flow to sea in order to protect the Delta
smelt, a threatened fish species. This bill would reopen those spigots and allow water to flow
from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to the Central Valley until regulators can prove that
the smelt and other species, such as the salmonid (a family of fish including various types of
salmon), are being harmed by the pumping. Should they find the fish are being harmed,
regulators would then have to undertake a study of viable alternatives before adjusting the flow
of water.
In addition, H.R. 2892 would also would set deadlines for federal regulators to open up several
water storage projects in the west.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Board of Directors support H.R. 2892 (Valadao, R-CA) and send a letter
to the Orange County Congressional Delegation indicating our support position. In addition, to
sign the letters of support from Municipal Water District of Orange County and Orange County
Water District.

The Western Water and
American Food Security Act of 2015
Section-by-Section Overview
California is a vast state with several regional climates – some of which are naturally arid. A sophisticated network of
storage and delivery facilities sustain California’s water supply, and the biggest challenge is to make sure that water is
in the right places at the right times so that when communities need it, they have it. Meeting that challenge is
dependent upon on an even more complex and often contradictory system of laws, court decisions and regulations.
The severity of historic drought conditions and federal regulations have been exacerbating Mother Nature’s refusal to
cooperate the past four years, which has undoubtedly placed increased pressure on our state’s ability to supply water.
Informed by previous legislative efforts that were initially developed on a bipartisan and bicameral basis, the Western
Water and American Food Security Act of 2015 brings into balance the needs of Californians and the way regulatory
laws are enforced.
At the heart of the challenge is the dedication of vast quantities of water to protected species of fish, which is done at a
great cost to entire communities and California while the condition of the fish has not measurably improved. The
human costs to continue these regulatory practices are shockingly clear: they exacerbate high unemployment and
reduced quality of life – especially in disadvantaged communities; threaten our nation’s food security; and place
undue burdens on the environment that so many Californians rely on. Yet, the federal water administrators cannot
actually quantify factual beneficial effects to listed fish from today’s policies.
These facts support one central premise of the Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015 - it is critical
to put measures in place that attempt to make more water available to people, while simultaneously ensuring that
federal government water managers’ decisions to protect listed species are governed by up-to-date science and are
effective.
Simply put, when it comes to delivering water in California, the legislation helps ensure that decisions are based on
the best and most recent science, which increase the amount of water to the millions of people who rely on the critical
life-giving resources while maintaining protections for listed species. To accomplish this, the Act seeks to make
science-based management work better through the following:
• Integrates the considerable new science developed since the current biological opinions on Delta smelt and
Chinook salmon relating to the operation of Central Valley Project and the State Water Project were issued in
2008 and 2009.
• Requires agencies to use the most accurate survey methods to help determine how these water projects may be
operated to maximize water utilization and deliveries.
• Requires agencies to consider other less water-costly alternatives that would benefit the listed species, such as
installing temporary barriers in the delta to prevent saltwater intrusion or removing non-native predator fish that
eat protected fish species.
• Requires agencies to consider other management strategies not necessarily included in the existing biological
opinions as alternatives before restricting additional pumping.
o In short, if two alternative measures are equally effective in protecting listed fish species, the agencies
should pursue the measures with better overall outcomes – the measure that helps listed fish species
while not reducing pumping. Informed by this analysis, the Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce
would continue to decide the best course necessary for both the 25 million people who depend on these
water supplies and listed fish.

Additionally, in light of this historic crisis, the Act provides federal water regulators the operational flexibility during
times of crises to effectively make and implement operational decisions in real time without unnecessary regulatory
hurdles, while protecting the state water rights. Furthermore, to facilitate additional long-term water solutions, the Act
requires that studies related to five California water storage projects, which have been delayed for nearly a decade, be
expeditiously completed by the Bureau of Reclamation and presented to Congress. To assist other states in avoiding a
water crisis such as that facing the State of California, the Act also contains several measures intended to facilitate a
more expeditious and dependable permitting process for constructing water projects throughout the West.
Titles I and II: Integrating New Science into the Management of the Species .
Since the biological opinions for the California water projects were adopted in 2008 and 2009, there has been
considerable new science on the smelt and the salmon species. The proposal attempts to integrate the updated data into
the operation of the California water projects, without mandating specific changes in the biological opinions or
prescribing particular outcomes.
Delta Smelt
Incidental Take. The smelt biological opinion calculated the Delta Smelt Incidental Take Level (ITL) using data from
just three years: 2006, 2007, and 2008. Using only three years to calculate the ITL severely limits the method’s ability
to estimate the biological and physical conditions that are likely to occur during the life of the smelt biological
opinion. Increased understanding of the factors associated with Delta smelt salvage from the past several years means
that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should now be able to use information from before and after 2006 to provide
the basis for a more robust ITL.
Increase Monitoring. The proposal allows for more real-time data collection to inform real-time decisions. Numerous
analyses of adult smelt salvage patterns have linked salvage to elevated turbidity levels and high negative flows in Old
and Middle River. While the high salvage of Delta smelt tends not to occur without high turbidity in Old and Middle
River (OMR), the existence of high turbidity does not guarantee high salvage, even when OMR flows are highly
negative. The proposed sampling is designed to test for the presence of adult Delta smelt in Old River as the water
becomes turbid following winter storms. If smelt are detected, then Project operations can be modified in time to
avoid salvage. If no smelt are detected, then Project operations need not be heavily curtailed.
Salmonids
Review Management Alternatives. Delta water exports alter water movements in the Delta and can entrain migrating
juvenile salmonids. However, based on particle tracking studies, the 2009 Biological Opinion hypothesized a much
larger effect (in geographic range and magnitude of importance) than has been supported by more recent and robust
acoustic telemetry studies of the salmonids. In addition, the reasonable and prudent alternatives in the biological
opinion did not adequately address other stressors in the Delta that may overwhelm or compromise the effectiveness
of water project restrictions. To clarify the relative importance of export effects, and to help identify other
management actions that can contribute to species recovery, the proposal calls for the Secretary of Commerce to
analyze and quantify survival benefits from a suite of action alternatives other than just reducing pumping. These
actions include existing export restrictions, barriers to fish entrainment, habitat enhancements, and predation control
programs. By conducting a rigorous analysis of these and other actions, the National Marine Fisheries Service will
demonstrate the effectiveness of existing reasonable and prudent alternative actions and potentially identify new
actions that can achieve greater or equal benefits to reducing pumping water to Central and Southern California.
Program to Protect Native Fish in the Stanislaus River. Authorizes a fish predator suppression program paid for by
water users on the Stanislaus River and requires that the program be scientifically-based and include a rigorous
monitoring and reporting program.

Secretarial Discretion Remains to be Utilized
The proposal works within current law to ensure that a particular water operation decision is made with regards to the
needs of listed fish species. The Secretaries of the Interior and Commerce are directed to obtain, document, and
implement the best available scientific data so that when they exercise the discretion given to them, they have the
necessary information to explain their decision. A science-based framework remains. For example:
• Under the smelt proposal, the Secretaries maintain negative 5,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) or higher, in Old
and Middle River flows, unless lower pumping levels are necessary to protect the species.
• Under the salmon proposal, the Secretary of Commerce is required to explain the basis for raising or lowering
OMR flow levels within the range of the biological opinion, and to consider how alternative measures compare
against water supply reductions in avoiding jeopardy to the salmon.
• In addition, the Secretary of Commerce is only directed to substitute alternative management proposals for
current regulatory restrictions if they would provide equivalent protections for listed salmonid species.
Other Highlights of Remaining Titles: Facilitating Operational Flexibility and Providing Drought Relief .
In addition, the Secretaries are directed to take certain actions while operating the Central Valley Water Project and
the State Water Project, including:
• While using U.S. Geological Survey data, operating the Cross Channel Gates to maximize the peak flood tide
period and provide water supply and water quality benefits, consistent with emergency orders issued by the
California State Water Resources Control Board;
• Under limited circumstances, consistent with effects permissible under existing law and where delta conditions
are suitable, allowing the sale, transfer or exchange of water at a 1:1 inflow to export ratio for the increment of
increased flow of the San Joaquin River;
• Expeditiously issuing permits for the use of temporary barriers or operable gates to improve water quality and
water quantity under limited circumstances;
• Utilizing a streamlined project elevation and decision process to ensure that final federal decisions relating to
projects that provide additional water supply or address emergency drought conditions are made in a timely
manner;
• Authorizing the Secretaries to increase pumping to -7,500 cfs to capture high peaks of precipitation since an
overwhelming percentage of our state’s water supply comes down in pulses during the first few storms of the
year.
Protecting the State Water Project and Preserving Senior Water Rights
In California, there is a complex system of federal and state water rights, seniority, and allocation practices set by
federal and state law, judicial decisions, and tradition and practice. In addition, the Central Valley Project and the
State Water Project operation and environmental compliance are linked, ensuring all of California benefits from these
projects. The Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015 includes provisions designed to preserve water
rights seniority and to protect the joint operation of the Federal and state water projects, thereby ensuring that
Northern, Central, and Southern Californians all receive the water they are entitled too.

The Western Water and
American Food Security Act of 2015
Legislative Summary
California is enduring its worst drought in 1,200 years, and a growing number of communities across the West have
become impacted by severe drought conditions. Although this challenge is not new to the arid West, it is
compounded by a complex and often contradictory system of laws, court decisions, and regulations, at the state and
federal level, that are failing the needs of both people and species.
California’s water system is one of the most sophisticated in the world and has served as a catalyst for economic
prosperity. That pioneering approach has since been abandoned and the effects have devastated our communities,
threatened our food security, and have placed undue burden on our environment.
Communities Grow When Water Flows
California is the eighth largest economy in the world and has long served as a beacon for growth and innovation.
From Palo Alto to the Central Valley to the Mojave Desert, California is home to some of our greatest innovators
and achievements that ensure the United States remains the world’s leader. Water is the lifeblood of our State
and failure to deliver a reliable and affordable supply in California and the Western United States jeopardizes our
ability to continue to grow a more prosperous, healthy, and secure United States.
Food Security
California feeds our nation’s families, as half of the fruits, vegetables, and nuts consumed in the U.S. are grown in
California. If California is unable produce the food our nation needs, we will be forced to turn to other nations
where pesticide use and farming techniques are often far less regulated than the in United States. Furthermore,
California’s contribution as “the nation’s salad bowl” is essential to a healthier America as the fight against obesity
continues.
Environmental Challenges
When water is flushed out to the ocean, California communities are left with measures of last resort. To survive
during these times of drought, communities are forced to drill for water in aquifers beneath the surface. When
wells run dry and the aquifers are depleted, land subsidence and irreversible environmental damage occurs.
The Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015 would rebalance water policies in California and the
West. Requiring federal and state agencies to use better science, and rooting their regulatory decisions in that new
science will provide more water provided to our parched communities. It also enacts permitting reforms aimed at
building infrastructure to capture water for humans and species. This would enable the movement and storage of
water throughout California to better prepare for future droughts, so that the great frontier can continue to grow.
Relying on Better Science in California
The Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015 does not eviscerate the Endangered Species Act.
Instead, it would incorporate an empirical approach that even Bill Nye could endorse by requiring regulators to
back up claims of disruption to protected fish species with actual evidence. And if disruptions to fish populations
do occur, all available mitigation options must be considered before water that is contracted and paid for by our
communities is diverted to the ocean.
Flexibility to Plan Ahead
When Mother Nature blesses California and the Western United States with periods of rain and snow, this bill
would provide state and federal regulators direction and flexibility to capture water for delivery to Central and
Southern California. This bill also takes a long-term approach to helping California and the Western United States
by requiring the federal government to complete consideration of feasibility studies for multiple water storage
projects in California that have been languishing in bureaucratic purgatory for up to ten years. By creating a
process to build new storage facilities in the West, we can capture more water during wet years for use in dry
years.

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 1 – 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
Scope of Services for 2015 Water and Wastewater Rate Study

Task 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 Excel™ 2013 and Wastewater Financial
Plan Model in Microsoft Office Excel™ 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
Deliverables: Water and Wastewater Rate Model in Microsoft Office Excel™ 2013

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 PowerPoint™ 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 ™ 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.
Meetings: One (1) Public Hearing
Deliverables: presentation materials for the Public Hearing in Microsoft PowerPoint™ 2013
