Subject: 2008 Conflict of Interest Code Amendment
SUMMARY:
The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its conflict of interest code
biennially to determine if it is accurate or requires amendment. State law stipulates that the Orange County
Board of Supervisors (OCBOS) is the code reviewing body for the District's Conflict of Interest Code. The
Clerk of the OCBOS has requested the District modify its 2008 code amendment to conform to a
standardized format.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend that the Board of Directors adopt the amended Conflict of Interest Code
pending review by the Clerk of the OCBOS and District's legal counsel.
DISCUSSION:
The District last amended its Conflict of Interest code on September 11, 2008 by Resolution No. 08-10.
Staff then forwarded a copy of the District's amended code to the Clerk of the OCBOS for review and
approval by the OCBOS as required by California Government Code Section 87303. Following review, the
Clerk of the OCBOS has requested that the District modify its 2008 code amendment to conform to a
standardized format. The attached draft resolution reflects these requested modifications. Staff will meet
with the Clerk of the OCBOS via teleconference to further discuss the draft resolution this week. Staff will
submit a finalized resolution to the District's legal counsel for review prior to submittal to the Board of
Directors for approval at the June 25th Board meeting.

Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 California Code of Regulations, Section
18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are
hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix designating
officials and employees and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the Conflict of
Interest Code of the Yorba Linda Water District.
Designated employees shall file statements of economic interests with the Yorba Linda
Water District's Political Reform Act Filing Officer, Board Secretary, who will make the
statements available for public inspection and reproduction (Government Code Section
82008). Upon receipt of the statements of the Yorba Linda Water District, the Filing Officer
shall make and retain a copy and forward the original of these statements to the Clerk of the
Orange County Board of Supervisors. Statements for all other designated employees will be

Re: State Capitol Update
Date: June 8, 2009
Overview
State Budget to Be Slashed.....Borrowing from Local Governments on Tap
The overwhelming voter rejection of the state budget-related issues on the May 19, 2009 Special
Election ballot added another $6 billion to the state debt ledger, which now totals at least $24.3
billion.
There seems to be no end to the revenue slide the State finds itself in, the result of the continued
deep recession gripping California, an unemployment rate hanging at 11%, the tremendous decline
in personal income tax revenues, corporate taxes and the sales taxes, and the structural deficit that
policy makers are unwilling to politically confront.
So, a state General Fund Budget that was $103 billion in 2007-08 and is now $92 billion, will be
significantly whacked again, down to probably the $76 billion level ---the 2003-04 budget level,
when the state had almost five million fewer residents. Revenue Anticipation Warrants, a credit
instrument, will also have to be issued and sold if the state is to make payments in July. As a result
of the continuing crisis, many voter-locked in spending programs face suspension, and all levels of
government, including, schools from K to university levels, local governments, roads, prisons,
public employees, and all health care and public assistance programs, face major budget reductions.
Borrowing From Local Governments
The Governor is proposing to borrow $1.98 billion from local governments through the suspension
of Proposition IA (2004). The suspension, which requires legislation, allows the state to divert to
schools up to 8% of property tax revenues of cities, counties and special districts. Repayment, with
interest, must be made within three years. The Governor is also proposing legislation to authorize a
joint powers authority to facilitate local government borrowing against the state's repayment
promise. Here are the specifics in the Governor's proposal:
Counties-The Administration's Prop IA suspension shifts $960 million from the counties (in
contrast, the 2004-05 and 2005-06 property tax shifts redirected $350 million each year from
counties).
Cities-The Administration's Prop IA suspension shifts $692 million from the cities (in 2004-05
and 2005-06, the state shifted $350 million each year from the cities).
Special Districts-The Governor proposes to suspend Prop IA and shift to K-14 education in 2009-
10 a total of 8% of the property taxes received by each special district, city and county. Under this
formula, $330 million would be shifted from Special Districts (in 2004-05 and 2005-06, $350
million in special district property taxes was shifted to K-14 education. Specifically, enterprise
districts shifted 40% of their property taxes and non-enterprise districts shifted up to 10%)
There is some additional concern that the state could borrow more than one-quarter of the amount
from waste and water enterprise districts and borrow less from non-enterprise districts with less
flexibility, as the Office of the Legislative Analyst is suggesting.
New Taxes?
Some Democrats continue to press for additional tax revenues, but there appears little appetite for
new taxes to be part of the upcoming "solution." There may be an attempt to eliminate some tax
benefits given to corporations doing business in this state to keep them from locating elsewhere (the
election of a single sales factor tax), to offset some of the human services cuts and the release of
older non-violent felons from state prisons, but those are undecided at this time.
Water Bond, Storage, Conveyance and Delta Levee Rehabilitation
Serious discussions are on hold, pending budget issue outcomes, on a major water bond,
including above-ground storage, new conveyance, and a Delta levee rehabilitation program.
Legislation of Interest
The fiscal plight of the state held most of the legislation with state or local government fiscal
implications. Included among those held were eight of the 11 bills (excluding budget issues) that
we were following or engaged in for the district. What follows are those bills:
AB 28 (Jeffries) Natural gas engines: water movement: emissions limitation
requirements. (A-04/13/2009 html pdf)
Summary:
Existing law imposes various limitations on emissions of air contaminants for the control of air
pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Existing law generally designates the State
Air Resources Board as the state agency with the primary responsibility for the control of
vehicular air pollution, and air pollution control districts and air quality management districts
with the primary responsibility for the control of air pollution from all sources other than
vehicular sources. This bill would require any requirement imposed by an air pollution control
district, an air quality management district, or other local agency or local regulatory body
relating to emissions limitations on, or imposing monitoring, testing, inspection, maintenance,
or reporting requirements relating to emissions caused by, the use of a natural gas engine, as
defined, to comply with prescribed requirements .
Note: This bill would be very helpful for special districts in the South Coast Air Quality
Management District, but there was massive opposition to this regulatory carve out by all
the major air quality districts in Ca. The bill was defeated on a party line vote, but was
granted reconsideration. Air quality regulatory carve out bills always face a tough time
from this Legislature. DEAD FOR THE YEAR.
Status: 06/08/2009-Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(8). (Last location was NAT.
RES. on 5/4/2009)
AB 450 (De La Torre) Recycled water: oil refineries. (A-04/21/2009 html Pdf)
Summary:
Existing law declares that the use of potable domestic water for various non-potable uses is a
waste or an unreasonable use of water, and prohibits a person or public agency from using
water from any source of quality suitable for potable domestic use for various non-potable
purposes, including cemeteries, golf courses, parks, highway landscaped areas, and industrial
and irrigation uses, if suitable recycled water is available. This bill would declare that the use
of potable domestic water for oil refineries is a waste or unreasonable use of water, if certain
requirements are met. The bill would additionally prohibit a person or public agency from
using potable water for oil refinery purposes, if certain requirements are met. The bill would
state that it is the intent of the Legislature to provide incentives to facilitate compliance with
these provisions. These provisions would become operative on January 1, 2020 .
Note: Do we have any oil refineries within the service area, and if so, do they receive
potable water? DEAD FOR THE YEAR.
Status: 06/02/2009-Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(5). (Last location was APPR.
on 05/28/2009)
AB 969 (Calderon, Charles) Recycled water. (I-02/26/2009 html Pdf)
Summary:
Existing law, the Water Recycling Act of 1991, establishes a statewide goal to recycle a total of
700,000 acre-feet of water per year by the year 2000 and 1,000,000 acre-feet of water per year
by the year 2010. The act requires, to the extent that specified funds are made available, the
Department of Water Resources to identify and report to the Legislature on opportunities for
increasing the use of recycled water and constraints and impediments to increasing the use of
recycled water. The act requires the department to convene a task force, known as the 2002
Recycled Water Task Force, to advise the department in implementing the report requirement.
Existing law requires the department and the task force to report to the Legislature no later than
July 1, 2003. This bill would repeal the report and task force requirements. The bill would
change the statewide goal for recycled water to an unspecified number of acre-feet of water per
year by the year 2020. The bill also would make changes to findings and declarations under the
act.
Note: This bill was a spot bill. It never developed. DEAD FOR THE YEAR.
Status: 05/01/2009-Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(2). (Last location was W.,P. &
W. on 03/26/2009)
AB 1187 (Huffman) Safe, Clean, Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010. (I-
02/27/2009 html pdf)
Summary:
Under existing law, various measures have been approved by the voters to provide funds for
water protection, facilities, and programs. This bill would enact the Safe, Clean, Reliable
Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010 which, if approved by the voters, would authorize, for the
purposes of financing specified water supply reliability and water source protection programs,
the issuance of bonds in the amount of $10,035,000,000 pursuant to the State General
Obligation Bond Law. This bill contains other existing laws.
Note: A water bond proposal coming from the chairman of the Assembly Water
Committee. Chairman Huffman was formerly a staff lawyer with the Natural Resources
Defense Council. DEAD FOR THE YEAR.
Status: 05/01/2009-Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(2). (Last location was W.,P. &
W. on 03/26/2009)
AB 1366 (Feuer) Residential self-regenerating water softeners. (I-02/27/2009 html
pdf)
Summary:
Existing law requires the State Water Resources Control Board to formulate and adopt state
policy for water quality control. California regional water quality control boards are required to
establish water quality objectives in water quality control plans. Under existing law, a local
agency, by ordinance, may limit the availability, or prohibit the installation, of residential water
softening or conditioning appliances that discharge to the community sewer system if the local
agency makes certain findings and includes them in the ordinance. This bill would authorize
any local agency that maintains a community sewer system within specified areas of the state to
take action, by ordinance or resolution and after a public meeting, to control salinity inputs
from residential self-regenerating water softeners to protect the quality of the waters of the
state, if the appropriate regional board makes a finding that the control of residential salinity
input will contribute to the achievement of water quality objectives. The bill would state
related findings and declarations of the Legislature, including findings and declarations
concerning the need for special legislation.
Note: The regulation of water softeners is back before the Legislature again this year.
Status: 05/28/2009-In Senate. Read first time. To Com. on RLS. for assignment.
AB 1465 (Hill) Urban water management planning. (A-04/21/2009 html Pdf)
Summary:
Existing law requires every urban water supplier to prepare and adopt an urban water
management plan, in accordance with specified requirements, for submission to the
Department of Water Resources and other entities. An urban water supplier is required to
provide information relating to the supplier's water demand management measures. This bill
would revise provisions relating to the information that the urban water supplier is required to
include in the plan with regard to water demand management measures. The bill would require
the urban water supplier to describe in the plan the opportunities for development of recycled
water supplies, including opportunities for non-potable and indirect potable reuse, and the
opportunities for stormwater recapture and reuse as a long-term water supply. This bill contains
other related provisions and other existing laws.
Note: This is a still developing water management plan bill coming from a freshman
member from San Mateo County.
Status: 06/04/2009-Referred to Com. on N.R. & W.
SB 301 (Florez) Water Supply Reliability and Ecosystem Recovery and
Restoration Act of 2009. (I-02/25/2009 html pdf)
Summary:
Under existing law, various measures have been approved by the voters to provide funds for
water protection, facilities, and programs. This bill would enact the Water Supply Reliability
and Ecosystem Recovery and Restoration Act of 2009, which, if approved by the voters, would
authorize, for the purposes of financing specified water supply reliability and ecosystem
recovery and restoration programs, the issuance of bonds in the amount of $15,000,000,000
pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law. The bill would provide for submission of
the bond act to the voters at the next statewide election. This bill contains other related
provisions.
Note: This is a proposed $15 billion water bond (the most expensive offered this year), by
the Senate Majority Leader, who represents Fresno and Kern Counties. His problem is
the Senate President Pro Tempore, the number one Senator, also has a water bond
proposal. DEAD FOR THE YEAR.

SB 565 (Pavley) Water recycling. (A-06/02/2009 html pdf)
Summary:
Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board and the California regional
water quality control boards as the principal state agencies with authority over matters relating
to water quality. Existing law requires specified persons who discharge waste, as defined, in a
manner that could affect the quality of the waters of the state, to pay an annual fee to the state
board according to a fee schedule established by the board. This bill would require the board,
in consultation with the Department of Water Resources and the State Department of Public
Health, to develop a plan to ensure that at least 50% of wastewater that is annually discharged
into the ocean, as of the year 2009, is recycled and put to beneficial use by the year 2030. The
bill would prescribe various requirements with respect to that plan. The bill would require the
board to impose a fee on specified persons discharging wastewater into the ocean, the San
Francisco Bay, or any other enclosed bay in the state, and would require that fee to be
deposited into the Ocean Discharge Recycling Fund, which the bill would establish. The bill
would authorize the board to expend the moneys in that fund, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for the purposes of carrying out the wastewater recycling plan.
Note: This bill would charge a fee to a person who is discharging waste water into the
ocean.

SB 735 (Steinberg) Safe, Clean, and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010.
(I-02/27/2009 html pdf)
Summary:
Under existing law, various measures have been approved by the voters to provide funds for
water supply and protection facilities and programs. This bill would enact the Safe, Clean, and
Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010, which, if approved by the voters, would
authorize the issuance of bonds in the amount of $9,785,000,000 pursuant to the State General
Obligation Bond Law to finance a water supply reliability and water source protection
program. This bill contains other related provisions.
Note: The Senate Leader, President Pro Tempore Steinberg, is authoring what will be the
lead water bond bill. He has committed to work closely with the Governor on this
proposal. DEAD FOR THE YEAR.

MEMORANDUM
To: Yorba Linda Water District, Executive Committee
From: Christopher Townsend, President
Heather Dion, Director
Date: June 10, 2009
Subject: Activity Report
State Political Highlights:
Last week the Governor addressed a joint session of the Legislature to discuss the State's
current fiscal situation. The Governor's address was not focused on the specific details of
the May Revise, but instead took the tone of a motivational speech.
The Governor briefly explained to the Legislature that the State's revenues have dropped
over 25 percent in the last year and is now at the level it was in the late 1990's. This has
resulted in a projected budget deficit of $24 billion; this is on top of the $36 billion gap that
the Legislature closed earlier this year.
Much of the Governor's speech centered around the idea that the Legislature must view this
crisis as an opportunity to fundamentally reform the way that State government operates.
He specifically mentioned reducing the regulations imposed on education, changing the
State's relationship with local governments, and realigning programmatic oversight and
revenue sources. The Governor also acknowledged that the State must prove to these
constituencies, and to voters, that the State is willing to streamline its own operations as
well. At one point, the Governor said that he would not allow cuts to education, human
services, and public safety while duplicative boards and agencies (such as the Integrated
Waste Management Board) are allowed to remain untouched.
In the end, the Governor reminded the Legislature that they are charged with making the
tough decisions and that they must rise to meet the challenge before them, no matter how
difficult the choices.
After the Governor's address, Speaker Bass and Pro Tern Steinberg provided the
Democratic response. The two agreed with the Governor that everything must be
considered in order to close the budget gap, but they said that the State must be smart
about what cuts are made. The Democrats indicated that they have a fundamental
disagreement with the Governor on the elimination of safety net programs, such as
CalWorks, CalGrants, and Healthy Families. The Speaker and Pro Tern did agree with the
Governor that now is the time to look at significant government reform; however, they did
not go into detail on what reforms they would push.
While the Democratic leadership could not say when they would be able to reach an
agreement on a complete budget solution, they did say that they expected the Budget
Conference Committee to be done with their work in time for a budget proposal to be voted
on in the Legislature by June 15 The conference committee is scheduled to conclude
their "public comment" hearings today and will then revisit specific areas of the budget in an
attempt to reach resolution on various issues.
Attached to this report is a chart that breakdowns the Governor's May Revise proposal.
The chart is somewhat technical, but essentially briefly describes the proposal and the
budget savings result in the current budget year (2008-09), fiscal year 2009-10, and fiscal
year 2010-11.
Subsequent to the Governor's speech last week many ACWA members participated in a
local government lobby day. This effort was led by the League of California Cities and the
California Special Districts Association. The primary focus of the lobby day was to express
opposition to borrowing of local property tax by suspending the provisions of Prop 1A.
Additionally, there has been some talk in the recent budget discussions about "State/Local
Government realignment". The general idea is to better align revenues and expenditures.
Details at this point are very scarce. Many people commented that this could potentially be
worse than Prop 1A borrowing, depending upon how things were "realigned".
As you will recall in February, the Legislature and Governor came together and adopted a
budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year, thereby addressing a $42 billion budget deficit.
Unfortunately, since that time the State's revenues have dipped dramatically and the State
is again facing another massive budget deficit. The current budget shortfall is estimated at
$24 billion over the next 13 months. In Sacramento it is widely perceived that the budget
solution will need to consist primarily of cuts since taxes were increased in February and
voters indicated they did not approve the massive State borrowing proposed at the May
Special Election.
One of the items that was put forth by the Governor in his May Revise is to suspend the
provisions of Proposition 1A and borrow 8% of property taxes from local governments.
While the Legislature has not agreed to this provision, they will give the proposal serious
consideration as it could bring the State $2 billion closer towards solving the budget
shortfall. In order for the provisions of Proposition 1A to be suspended, the Legislature
must pass a measure which would provide how the 8% is to be borrowed and that it will be
repaid to local governments within three years. At this point, there is no actual budget
trailer bill language for the suspension of Proposition 1A; however, some are concerned that
the Legislature may look to collect the 8% in an uneven manner. The concern is that the
Legislature may look to special districts for more than 8% as they can raise rates to cover
the loss of revenue.
TPA will work closely with YLWD to oppose the borrowing of local government property
taxes through the suspension of Proposition 1A. Furthermore, TPA will aggressively
advocate for an "across the board" 8% borrowing in the event that Proposition 1A is
suspended by the Legislature. In this time of widespread economic recession, special
districts cannot afford to have their property tax taken in order to make up for the years of
mistakes made by Sacramento.
