Page 5 of 173 T(I".)WNSEND T PA MEMORANDUM To: Yorba Linda Water District From: Townsend Public Affairs Date: March 3, 2022 Subject: State and Federal Legislative Monthly Report State Leaislative Update The month of February saw the introduction of over 1,800 new bill vehicles, the approval of several early budget action items, and numerous COVID-19 procedural updates. This month, legislators and the Administration focused on establishing consensus on funding priorities included in the Governor's January Budget framework proposal and introduced the bulk of their legislative priorities for the year. State Legislature February 18 marked the 2022 Legislative Session's bill introduction deadline for all new legislative vehicles. Although new bills have trickled in since the January 3 start of session, most legislators wait until the final deadline week to introduce the bulk of their proposals. Both the Assembly and Senate introduced a total of 2,115 new bill vehicles. While the deadline for new bills has passed, legislators will still have the opportunity to amend or "gut and amend" existing bill vehicles into new legislation. However, Assembly and Senate leadership have set hard mid-March deadlines for major amendments and amendments to "spot" legislation, meaning new and evolved legislative language will materialize in the coming weeks. State Budget Throughout the month of February, legislators participated in full budget and subcommittee informational hearings on specific provisions contained within the Governor's January Budget framework proposal. During these hearings, committee members heard from Department of Finance and Legislative Analyst's Office representatives, as well as other relevant stakeholders, to consider the implementation of proposed funding programs contained in the Governor's Budget. Each of the hearings were informational in nature with no action items that would immediately alter the existing budget framework. Prior to the May budget revision, negotiations and updated budget policies will materialize — which will reflect consensus between the Administration and the Legislature.

Budget committee hearings will continue into the month of March before the Legislature shifts into agenda -heavy policy committee schedules to consider and take action on policy bills. In addition to the steady pace of budget informational hearings, in February the Governor signed a handful of budget items into law marked for "early action" — meaning funds would be made available immediately. These early action items included the following: • SB 113 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) Economic relief. COVID-19 pandemic. This measure transfers $150 million into the California Emergency Relief Fund to fund remaining eligible waitlisted grant applicants from last year's California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program. Additionally, the measure restores the net operating loss (NOL) deduction and lifts the cap on business incentive tax credits that were suspended and capped in the 2020-21 Budget. SB 114 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) Employment: COVID-19: supplemental paid sick leave. This measure provides 80 hours of paid COVID-19 leave for covered employees working for an employer with over 25 employees. The previous law requiring coverage (SB 95, Statutes of 2021) expired Sept. 30, 2021. SB 114 mirrors the provisions included in the previous law, with two notable changes, which include the following additional qualifying cases for taking paid sick leave time: o Attending an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine or a vaccine booster for the employee's family member; or o Caring for a family member who has symptoms from a COVID-19 vaccine or a vaccine booster. • SB 115 (Skinner) Budget Act of 2021. This measure amends the language contained within the 2021 Budget Act to provide for the immediate disbursement of funds marked for early action. This includes $1.9 billion from the General Fund to the California Emergency Relief Fund for COVID-19 mitigation, which includes increasing testing capacity, enhancing vaccination programs, and supporting frontline workers. In addition to the new funds for COVID-19 mitigation and support, the measure allows the state to backfill funds for rental assistance not covered by federal dollars. COVID-19 Updates California lifts statewide indoor mask mandate -With Omicron cases rapidly declining, this month the State lifted the universal mask mandate for indoor public spaces on February 15. The original masking mandate was instated December 15, 2020 and was designed to last until January 15, 2021. However, due to the spike in Omicron cases from the holiday season, the mandate was extended another month, until February 15. 2 Page 7 of 173 California to lift all masking mandates for vaccinated individuals and school settings – Following the State's announcement lifting the indoor statewide masking mandate, on February 28, the Governor announced the State would lift all masking mandates, including mandates that apply to school children and school personnel. Beginning March 1, masks will no longer be required for unvaccinated individuals, but will be strongly recommended for all individuals in most indoor settings. In schools and childcare facilities, after March 11, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended. Masks will still be required for everyone in high transmission settings like public transit, emergency shelters, health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities. Local jurisdictions may have additional requirements beyond the state guidance. Legislation introduced to mandate vaccines for employees of all businesses – This month, Assembly Members Wicks, Aguiar-Curry, Low, and Akilah Weber introduced AB 1993, which mandates vaccines for workplaces (for both employees and independent contractors) and requires employers to verify that their workers are immunized. New hires would need to have at least one shot by their first day — and the second within 45 days. Exemptions are made for persons ineligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine due to a medical condition or disability or who hold a sincerely held religious belief. Assembly Member Wicks previously considered a similar proposal at the end of the 2021 legislative session, but ultimately decided to wait. AB 1993 is currently pending referral to the appropriate legislative policy committee for consideration. It may be heard in committee as soon as March 13. Governor unveils "SMARTER" Endemic Phase COVID-19 Plan – This month, Governor Newsom and various health leaders unveiled the state's endemic strategy plan for COVID- 19. The seven -part strategy – dubbed the "SMARTER" plan – will focus on addressing the late stages of the pandemic through shots, masks, awareness, readiness, testing, education, and Rx medication treatments (with each of the first letters of the words arranged in the acronym SMARTER). The strategy will use the $1.4 billion in early action budget funds to bolster pandemic mitigation efforts. Governor Rolls Back All but 5 Percent of COVID-19 Executive Orders – This month, Governor Newsom announced his action to lift all but 5 percent of COVID-19 related executive order provisions, while maintaining the State of Emergency. The remaining provisions include maintaining California's nation -leading testing and vaccination programs and protecting hospital and health facility capacity, key components of the state's SMARTER Plan to guide California's evolving pandemic response. Altogether, Newsom has issued 561 executive actions, specific legal waivers or directives contained within his executive orders, since the start of the pandemic. He has since rescinded all but 82. The order lifts 52 of those remaining executive provisions by the end of June. Among the measures he terminated immediately were orders to allow fairgrounds and other state-owned property to be used for pandemic relief and to direct the state to distribute COVID-19 stimulus funds, which have already been allocated. Maintaining the State of Emergency provides for such things as continued Brown Act flexibility for local agencies. The Governor has not yet released a timeline for which he plans to end the State of Emergency. It is not unusual for California governors to keep emergency proclamations open for years in response to disasters like wildfires and earthquakes. Cl Page 8 of 173 Legislature to consider ending the COVID-19 state of emergency — This month, Senate pro Tem Toni Atkins released a statement on a Senate hearing to debate the merits of a resolution to end California's state of emergency. SCR 5, authored my Senator Melissa Melendez, is set for the first Senate Governmental Organization Committee hearing of the year on March 15. The Committee will debate the merits of the resolution and the implications it will have on California's ability to respond to the COVID-19 emergency. Senator Melendez introduced an earlier version of the resolution in July 2020, but it died in the Senate Rules Committee. If passed by both houses, SCR 5 would effectively end the current state of emergency without the Governor's input. Certain executive orders, federal reimbursements, and federal/local agency coordination that correspond to the COVID-19 state of emergency would cease. Additionally, the passage of SCR 5 would limit the Governor's executive powers within the scope of the declared emergency. Ballot Initiatives The month of February saw notable changes to the status of priority ballot measures. These included: Amended "The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act" Receives Title and Summary -The Attorney General issued title and summary for the California Business Round Table -sponsored "Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act." Initiative proponents withdrew a previous version of the initiative language in order to push forward the initiative's amended language. Following the issuance of title and summary, proponents can begin signature gathering. They must submit 997,139 valid signatures in order to qualify for the November 2022 ballot. The Secretary of State's recommended date to turn in signatures is April 29, 2022. Proponents have not yet passed the 25% signature gathering threshold. The Taxpayer Protection and Government Accountability Act would amend the California Constitution to restrict the ability of the state, local governments, other local agencies, and the electorate to approve or collect taxes, fees, and other revenues. It would require voter approval of all state taxes, would further restrict local fee authority by limiting it to the "minimum amount necessary" to provide government services, and would require voter approval for local measures such as franchise fees. Its provisions would make it easier to challenge local revenue measures by increasing the burden of proof on local agencies while disallowing an agency's characterization of a measure from being considered in cou rt. Initiative opponents comprise a coalition of organizations including the League of California Cities, California Professional Firefighters, AFSCME, SEIU, and the California Alliance for Jobs. Proponents withdraw measure that would allow local land use law to override state housing laws: - Local government proponents withdrew a proposed ballot measure which would provide that local land use and zoning laws override conflicting state laws. The Coalition — called "Our Neighborhood Voices" announced that it would set its sights on qualifying for the November 2024 ballot, after citing challenges associated with COVID-19 and the dramatic spike in the cost of paid signature gathering. 0 Page 9 of 173 Indoor Residential Water Use Standards In 2021, Assembly Member Friedman introduced AB 1434 which enacts indoor residential water use standards that are stricter than what the State set through SB 606/AB 1668 (Hertzberg/Friedman) in 2018. AB 1434 was amended to reflect the recommended standard in DWR's Final Report and would establish, beginning January 1, 2025, the standard as 47 gallons per capita daily and, beginning January 1, 2030, 42 gallons per capita daily, representing a significant decrease. AB 1434 failed to pass the first -house deadline on January 31 and is now dead. However, Senator Hertzberg recently introduced SB 1157 which mirrors the language inside the now dead AB 1434. A coalition group of ACWA, CASA, CMUA, and Watereuse are proposing amendments to SB 1157 that would change the standard to 47 gallons per capita daily in 2025, but would not propose additional standards until after a comprehensive study is conducted by DWR in consultation with an expert review panel consisting of representatives from various water and wastewater stakeholders. SB 1157 has been referred to the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee and has not yet been set for a hearing. Federal Legislative Update February saw an acceleration of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law implementation, that was passed in November 2021. The historic investments into infrastructure programs are beginning to take shape through a series of comment periods and the beginning of what will be many new grant opportunities for states and localities. Congress continues to work on the FY22 appropriation package that has been in negotiations since Summer of 2021. With a third continuing resolution passed earlier this month, Congress has until March 11 to strike a final deal. Federal FY22 ADorooriations On February 18, President Biden signed into law another short-term government funding bill, extending FY21 funding levels through March 11, 2022. This will give Congressional negotiators the time they need to complete an agreement on FY22 funding. In early February, House Appropriations Committee Chair Rosa DeLauro and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy announced a framework agreement had been reached for Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations. Most members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees said they are optimistic about making the March 11 deadline to enact the 12 -bill spending package. Each of the 12 subcommittees received their topline funding allocations and negotiations are in full swing. This final agreement will include congressional earmarks previously vetted by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Status of Earmarks According to sources on Capitol Hill, appropriations committees are calling offices to confirm aspects of earmarks submitted back in 2021. This action indicates that work is proceeding, and earmarks are in play. Congressional offices have also stated in February that inclusion of earmarks in the final bill are an "all or nothing" proposition. If an earmark was included in the .01 Page 10 of 173 House and Senate bills released in 2021, they will make it into the final deal. If negotiations are derailed and a deal is not struck, earmarks will not advance. Congressional offices are cautiously optimistic that a deal will be finalized before the March 11 deadline. Some of the most controversial policy riders have been resolved, and increases in defense spending have been agreed to, which has allowed the process to move forward following months of delay and protracted negotiations. FY23 Appropriations to Begin Soon After Passage of FY22 Bills Sources on Capitol Hill have indicated that there will be a tight turnaround between passage of a final FY22 appropriations agreement and the initiation of the FY23 appropriations process. The House and Senate Appropriations Committees typically begin soliciting input from Members in February, following the release of the President's budget. But this year President Biden has delayed the release of his budget until State of the Union Address, scheduled for March 1. That, combined with the delayed finalization of FY22 appropriations, has led to a late start to the process. The Appropriations Committees solicited input on funding levels for authorized programs and language for inclusion in their respective committee reports. It is anticipated that another round of community project funding and congressional directed spending requests will be accepted. Appropriators will be eager to get going on the FY23 process with deadlines for submission of these requests in the House likely coming in mid to late April with Senate deadlines not far behind. Phillips Station Survev Shows Statewide Snowgack Falls Well Below Averaae After the driest January and February on record, the Department of Water Resources reported that the manual survey recorded 35 inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 16 inches, which is 68 percent of average for the location for March. Although early season storms helped alleviate some drought impacts, a lack of storms in January and February heightens the need for conservation. The Governor has asked all Californians to cut backwater use at least 15 percent compared to 2020 levels. Regionally, the Northern, Central, and Southern Sierra snowpacks are all standing just above 59 percent to 66 percent of average for this date, impacting watersheds across the state. Reclamation releases blueprint for implementation of Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2022 The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has released a blueprint for implementation of the Bureau's portions of the bipartisan infrastructure law passed in November 2021. Reclamation will be provided $1.66 billion annually to support a range of infrastructure programs through 2026. The FY 2022 spend plan allocations include: • $420 million for rural water projects that benefit various Tribal and non -Tribal underserved communities by increasing access to potable water. • $245 million for WaterSMART Title XVI that supports the planning, design, and construction of water recycling and reuse projects. • $210 million for construction of water storage, groundwater storage and conveyance project infrastructure. • $160 million for WaterSMART Grants to support Reclamation efforts to work cooperatively with states, Tribes, and local entities to implement infrastructure investments to increase water supply. 0 Page 11 of 173 • $100 million for aging infrastructure for major repairs and rehabilitation of facilities. • $100 million for safety of dams to implement safety modifications of critical infrastructure. • $50 million for the implementation of Colorado River Basin drought contingency plans to support the goal of reducing the risk of Lake Mead and Lake Powell reaching critically low water levels. • $18 million for WaterSMART's Cooperative Watershed Management Program for watershed planning and restoration projects for watershed groups. • $15 million for Research and Development's Desalination and Water Purification Program for construction efforts to address ocean or brackish water desalination. • $8.5 million for Colorado River Basin Endangered Species Recovery and Conservation Programs. Central Vallev Proiect Initial Allocations Released The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation released its initial allocations to contractors of the Central Valley Project in February. Based on current hydrology and forecasting, Reclamation announced the following initial CVP water supply allocations: North -of -Delta Contractors • Sacramento River o Irrigation water service and repayment contractors north -of -Delta are allocated 0% of their contract total. o Municipal and industrial water service and repayment contractors north -of -Delta will be provided water for public health and safety needs consistent with the CVP M&I Water Shortage Policy. o Sacramento River Settlement Contractors' water supply is based upon settlement of claimed senior water rights and the 2022 water year is currently designated as a critical year, as defined in their Settlement Contracts. American River o M&I water service and repayment contractors north -of -Delta who are serviced by Folsom Reservoir on the American River are allocated 25% of their historical use. In -Delta Contractors M&I water service and repayment contractors who are serviced directly from the Delta are allocated 25% of their historical use. South -of -Delta Contractors • Irrigation water service and repayment contractors south -of -Delta are allocated 0% of their contract total. • M&I water service and repayment contractors south -of -Delta are allocated 25% of their historical use. • For San Joaquin River Exchange Contractors and San Joaquin Settlement Contractors, the 2022 water year is currently designated as a critical year, as defined in their contracts. Wildlife Refuges II Page 12 of 173 • For water supply for wildlife refuges (Level 2), north- and south -of -Delta, the 2022 water year is currently designated as a critical year, as defined in their contracts. Friant Division Contractors • Friant Division contractors' water supply is delivered from Millerton Reservoir on the upper San Joaquin River via the Madera and Friant-Kern canals. The first 800,000 acre-feet of available water supply is considered Class 1; Class 2 is considered the next amount of available water supply up to 1.4 million acre-feet. Given the current hydrologic conditions, the Friant Division water supply allocation is 15% of Class 1 and 0% of Class 2. Additional COVID-19 Relief Considered There is debate on Capitol Hill over whether to include additional COVID-19 relief funds in a final funding agreement. On February 15, the Biden Administration announced they would like to add $30 billion in COVID-19 spending to the $1.5 trillion government funding package. Although there are sufficient funds to respond to the pandemic, the Administration has said it wants to continue to be sufficiently prepared for future outbreaks and variants. The $30 billion would include: • $18 billion for medical countermeasures (antivirals and vaccines) • $5 billion for testing • $3 billion for treatment of the uninsured • $4 billion to prepare for future variants There is also discussion of another $500 million for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention operations. Since COVID-19 cases continue to decline in much of the country, there is skepticism around adding additional funding for restaurants and other businesses in this proposed COVID- 19 package. The White House does not seem likely to include small business relief to benefit industries, such as restaurants. Senate Appropriations Chairman Patrick Leahy (D -VT) is opposed to attaching additional COVID- 19 relief proposals to the current funding bill, in fear that it would derail negotiations. Some Republican lawmakers are pushing for a disaster aid bill supporting states struck by natural disasters such as Louisiana, Kentucky, New York, and California, which could be a potential vehicle for additional COVID-19 aid, should Congress decide to pursue that path. Senator Padilla's FEMA Wildfire and Response Bill Gains Momentum On February 2, Senator Alex Padilla's bill to strengthen the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) wildfire preparedness and response efforts advanced out of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC). The legislation will move to the full Senate for consideration in March. The measure, FEMA Improvement, Reform, and Efficiency (FIRE) Act (S. 3092) would allow FEMA to explore ways to pre -deploy resources during a red flag warning - similar to how the agency already does in advance of hurricane warnings. The bill would also require FEMA to prioritize survivors of disasters when selling portable housing units, thus ensuring survivors have a place to live during the rebuilding process. Additionally, the legislation would direct FEMA and the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study on potential solutions to address the availability and affordability of wildfire insurance. The bill requires separate studies to be Page 13 of 173 conducted too, which include examining gaps in wildfire response and improving how the agencies provides post disaster housing assistance. President Biden Announces Supreme Court Nominee President Biden announced he will nominate Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court. This nomination will be a prime focus of the Senate over the course of the next several weeks, adding another item to the Senate's already long to-do list. Jackson would bring a unique perspective to the court as she would be the first former public defender to serve on the court. She also served in retiring Justice Breyer's chamber as a law clerk. Jackson was confirmed to the D.C. Circuit last year by a 53-44 vote, obtaining three Republican votes, indicating that her confirmation is likely. 0 Page 14 of 173 Yorba Linda Water District Thursday, March 03, 2022 AB 155 (Committee on Budget) Budget Act of 2022.

Yorba Linda Water District /_[r]=1►1I7_\V=1161AI MEETING DATE: March 8, 2022 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager STAFF CONTACTS: Annie Alexander, Senior Executive Assistant / Board Secretary SUBJECT: Re -Authorizing Continuation of Virtual/Teleconference Board Meetings RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 2022 -XX finding and determining that: (1) a state of emergency related to COVID-19 continues to be in effect; (2) state and local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing in connection with COVID-19; (3) due to the COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees; and (4) continued remote meetings are hereby re -authorized for the period of March 8, 2022, through April 7, 2022, pursuant to California Government Code Section 54953(e). SUMMARY: Governor Newsom signed into law AB 361 which amends the Brown Act to allow the Board to continue to meet remotely during declared emergencies proclaimed by the Governor due to COVID-19 under certain conditions: (1) state or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing; or (2) the Board determines or has determined as a result of the emergency, meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees. BACKGROUND: In order to continue holding Board meetings remotely and by virtual/teleconference as has been previously occurring, the Board will need to reconsider and make a determination that as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 emergency, meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health and safety of the attendees. The Orange County Health Care Agency, which is responsible for health orders in Orange County, has provided recommendations for social distancing and masking for indoor events. Additionally, COVID-19 variants, especially Omicron and Delta, continue to spread throughout the Orange County community. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the Omicron and Delta variants are highly transmissible and continues to recommend wearing masks in public and in indoor settings. For these reasons, staff recommends that the District continue to hold Board meetings remotely Page 34 of 173 by virtual/teleconference for the next 30 days. AB 361 also adds new procedures and clarifies the requirements for conducting remote meetings, including the following: 1. Public agencies may not require public comments to be submitted in advance. 2. In the event of a technical disruption, the public agency cannot take any further action on the agenda until the technical issue is resolved. 3. Beginning 30 days after the first meeting, the legislative body must reconsider the continuing need for virtual meetings every 30 days. The legislative body must find each time that it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency, and the state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members to meet safely in person or state and local officials continue to impose or recommend measures to promote social distancing. If a majority of the members of a legislative body do not adopt these findings, then traditional Brown Act provisions for teleconferencing will apply. Should the Board vote to re -authorize implementation of the provisions of AB 361, these requirements will apply: 1. Notices and agenda requirements remain the same under the Brown Act. 2. No physical location is required for public attendance or public comment. However, the public must be able to access and participate in the meeting through a call-in or an internet-based service, and instructions for how to participate must appear on the posted notices or agenda. 3. Teleconference meetings must protect the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public. 4. If there is any disruption of the call-in or internet-based service, the agency must suspend the meeting until the problem is fixed. 5. Legislative bodies may allow public comments to be submitted prior to a meeting, but must also allow the public to participate in real-time through call-in or internet-based service. 6. If an internet-based service requires registration through a third party, individuals can be required to register with the third party to participate in the meeting. 7. When providing a public comment period, whether after each item or during a general comment period, a legislative body must allow reasonable time for members of the public to comment and must also include reasonable time for members to register with a third party host, if applicable.

WHEREAS, such conditions continue to exist in the District, specifically, a state of emergency has been proclaimed related to COVID-19 by the Governor of California as of March 4, 2020, local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing, and because of the ongoing threat of COVID-19, meeting in person could present imminent risks to the health and safety of attendees.

Landscape customer connections had the highest decrease in consumption sales of 17.31 % as compared to reported results from the prior year. Total Variable Costs results, as reported through the month ending January 31, 2022, reflect a 49.42% increase when compared to the prior year for the same reporting period.

The Cash and Investment Portfolio Report presents the market value and percent yield for all District investments by institution. The Cash and Investment Summary Report includes budget and actual interest and average term portfolio information as well as market value broken out by reserve categories. The Fair Value Measurement Report categorizes investments by the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The Unrestricted Reserves and Days in Cash Graph presents Water Unrestricted Reserve Balances and Days in Cash at a particular point in time for the last seven years. The average portfolio yield for the month ending January 31, 2022 is .34%. The District's Total Cash and Investment balance as of January 31, 2022 resulted in an overall decrease from the previous month by approximately $95,000. The Water Operating Fund decreased $44,708 due to the negative net effect between operating revenues and expenses through the reporting month of the fiscal year and the Sewer Operating Fund increased $134,077. Water Capital Project Reserve Fund decreased by $162,497, due to the cost of pay -go capital -related expenses. The PARS Fund decreased by $25,194 due to a decrease in the value of investments.

Yorba Linda Water District /_[r]=1►1I7_\V=1161AI MEETING DATE: March 8, 2022 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager STAFF CONTACTS: Rosanne P. Weston, Engineering Manager Reza Afshar, Senior Engineer Adrian Ayala, Assistant Engineer I SUBJECT: Declaration of Restrictive Covenants with Robin H. Borden RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the President and Assistant General Manager to execute a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, subject to review as to form by General Counsel, with Robin H. Borden of 28500 Brush Canyon Drive, Yorba Linda. SUMMARY: The District has a recorded pipeline easement located within Lot 29 of Tract No. 13484. The property owner, Robin H. Borden, is requesting permission to construct new improvements inside of the easement and to retain existing encroachments as shown on the attached exhibit. Engineering staff recommended the encroachments and recommends execution, subject to review as to form by General Counsel. FISCAL IMPACT: None. BACKGROUND: Property owner Robin H. Borden has existing improvements on her property that encroach on a 15 -foot -wide easement dedicated to the District at 28500 Brush Canyon Drive (Lot 29 of Tract No. 13484) and is requesting permission to construct new improvements that will encroach on the easement. The existing encroachments include a concrete masonry unit wall, garden curb, palm trees, trees, hardscape, landscape, roof overhand, and house walls. The proposed encroachments include an Alumawood patio cover, and a new room addition to the main house that includes new building walls, footing, and roof overhang. The existing and proposed improvements run parallel and across the easement area as shown in the attached exhibit. The District reserves its right to construct, own and maintain future facilities within the easement. Page 84 of 173 Staff reviewed the applicant's request and determined that the encroachments would have minimal impact on the District's easement. However, if the District needs to excavate within the easement to facilitate the installation of future facilities, the subject property owner's improvements may need to be removed and may be damaged in the process. The owner understands that with the execution of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, the District would not be liable for damage to and replacement of these improvements. Staff recommends the execution of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, subject to review as to form by General Counsel. PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION: The Board of Directors has authorized the execution of similar Declarations of Restrictive Covenants with various developers and property owners. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Weston, Engineering Manager Reza Afshar, Senior Engineer Adrian Ayala, Assistant Engineer I SUBJECT: Quitclaim Deed of 1275 Yorba Linda Blvd RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the Assistant General Manager to execute a Quitclaim Deed to abandon a portion of an existing easement on Penske Automotive Group's property. SUMMARY: Penske Automotive Group, owner of the property at 1275 E Yorba Linda Blvd in the City of Placentia, requested that the District quitclaim a 15 -foot wide portion of an existing easement that crosses along their property line so that they can utilize this portion of their property for their use as part of a new car dealership. Staff recommends execution of the attached Quitclaim Deed. IaRfey_inILT, l:7_ToIF None. BACKGROUND: On March 3, 1965, the District was granted an easement within Lot 2 of Block 4 of the Yorba Linda Tract, located east of Rose Drive and north of Yorba Linda Blvd. The District currently maintains and operates an existing 6 -inch waterline and an existing 8 -inch sewer main, located within the boundaries of the easement. On November 10, 2020, the Board of Directors approved Terms and Conditions for Water Services with Penske Automotive Group, Job No. J-2020-17, property owner at 1275 E. Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia. These Terms and Conditions required the property owner to enter a Water Service Agreement with the District, to abandon an approximately 255 -foot portion of a then -existing 6 -inch waterline. The property owner entered into a Water Service Agreement with the District on April 13, 2021, and as part of the terms of the Agreement, the District Page 92 of 173 agreed to abandon a 15 -feet wide portion of this easement where the abandoned waterline was located. The property owner has completed the abandonment of the waterline and is in the process of finalizing the project. An exhibit depicting the location of the project with a detailed metes and bounds description is attached. Staff verified abandonment of the existing 6 -inch waterline and determined that the portion of the existing easement referenced is no longer needed and the quitclaim will not unduly hinder the District's ability to maintain its facilities. PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION: The Board of Directors has authorized the execution of similar Quitclaim deeds with various developers and property owners. On November 10, 2020, the Board of Directors approved Terms and Conditions for Water Services with Penske Automotive Group, Job No. J-2020-17. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Exhibit 2.

Committee Submitted proposals received by the listed time and date will be evaluated by a committee selected by the District consisting of staff members. B. Review of Proposals The committee will evaluate all proposals to determine responsiveness to the request for proposal. The committee will recommend the selection of the responsible proposer whose proposal is most advantageous to the District. Accordingly, the committee may not necessarily select the proposer with the highest technical ranking nor select the proposer with the lowest total all-inclusive maximum price if doing so would not be in the overall best interest of the District. The overall criteria listed below are in relative order of importance. As proposals are considered by the committee to be more equal in their technical merit, the evaluated cost of price becomes more important so that the when technical proposals are evaluated as essentially equal, cost or price may be the deciding factor. C. Evaluation Criteria Proposals will be evaluated using three sets of criteria. Firms meeting the mandatory criteria will have their proposals evaluated and scored for both technical qualifications and cost. The following represent the principal selection criteria, which will be considered during the evaluation process. Mandatory Elements a. The audit firm is independent and licensed to practice in California. b. The firm has no conflict of interest with regard to any of the work performed by the firm for the District. c.

We will also communicate new state and national developments affecting municipal finance and reporting standards and trends, including changes in federal/state grant program accounting, and other reporting requirements. All working papers and reports will be retained at our expense for a minimum of five (5) years unless we are notified in writing by the District of the need to extend that retention period. Upon written request, we will make working papers available to parties designated by the District. Furthermore, we will respond to the reasonable inquiries of successor auditors and allow successor auditors to review working papers relating to matters of continuing accounting significance.

Brea Blvd., Suite 203 Brea, CA 92821 Page 112 of 173 LSU9:::0 INTRODUCTION LSL provides auditing services to over 70 municipal clients in California, including cities, counties, water and electric utilities, and compliance with OMB Uniform Guidance. This accounts for approximately 30% of our firm's services! Generally, our government sector services break down into the following major classifications: attestation, compliance, consulting, outsourced accounting, staffing, strategic planning, and tax services. We believe that our extensive experience in local government auditing has led to the development of efficient procedures and a comprehensive understanding of all federal and state grant programs typically awarded to municipalities. LSL has also performed engagements related to bond reporting, including issuing letters of comfort and other services. Our approach takes full advantage of our accumulated experiences, which we believe will be the most effective and efficient for an entity such as the Yorba Linda Water District. INDEPENDENCE LSL CPAs meets the independence requirements as defined by the Government Auditing Standards and are independent of all component units of the District as defined by those standards. Our partners do not own any other business organization that has in the past, or will in the future, be providing services, supplies, materials, or equipment to the District. A listing of our firm's clients is distributed annually to all employees for review and proper documentation of possible independence threats. LICENSE TO PRACTICE IN CALIFORNIA LSL CPAs is a limited liability partnership and is not a wholly owned subsidiary of a parent company. LSL is a public accounting firm licensed by the State of California, Department of Consumer Affairs, as a Public Accounting Partnership.

All audit teams will also consist of an additional 1 to 2 staff auditors based out of our Brea headquarters for audit fieldwork. Deborah Harper and Brandon Young both serve on the CaICPA Governmental Accounting and Auditing Committee, a committee specific to the State of California that has been responsible for numerous white papers and technical clarifications, including those for GASB 68 and 75. This equips our firm with the latest knowledge and expertise to train our government audit professionals on the proper implementation of new GASB pronouncements, an advantage that extends to our clientele. QUALITY OF STAFF ASSURANCE LSL ensures the quality of staffing over the term of the engagement through firm policies which provide for maintaining continuity of engagement teams, except in instances where an employee has left the firm or has been promoted. All other changes in staffing at the supervisor level and above will first have the District's expressed written permission.

In addition, we audit the Department's annual single audit. Engagement Partner Bryan Gruber Total Hours 262 Page 120 of 173 LSU9:::0 SPECIFIC AUDIT APPROACH We utilize a governmental audit program which we will tailor to the District's operations. The tailoring is necessary to accommodate specific circumstances and differences in organizational structure. Our audit programs are organized by financial statement category. This approach takes full advantage of our accumulated experience. The primary benefit is to substantially reduce the risk of omitting important procedures. We believe that this approach tends to be the most effective and efficient for an entity such as the Yorba Linda Water District. The audit procedures are listed in the most logical sequence which improves efficiency. The savings in effort and time gained by using our audit program can free an auditor's attention for unusual or difficult situations that may arise. The audit programs are designed to increase audit efficiency by linking financial statement assertions, audit objectives, and procedures that are basic to most governmental audit engagements. PROPOSED SEGMENTATION The services will be divided into three segments. Segment 1 - Planning and Obtaining an Understanding: LSL will provide an annual audit communication letter, engagement letter, and Government Audit Quality Center Information letter. The audit communication letter is to be provided to the Board of Directors. In addition, this can be communicated orally to the Board of Directors or audit committee, if requested. This communication will discuss the planning stages, the responsibilities of the Board of Directors, Auditors, and Management, and provides an opportunity for communication with us as the auditors. An entrance conference will be scheduled ahead of the on-site visit that is used to obtain an understanding of the District's internal controls over the District. This meeting helps to ensure that the transition to new auditors is as seamless as possible. Discussions in this meeting include, but are not limited to, the following: Understanding of reports and key milestones for deliverables, prior audit reportable conditions and issues, and "Prepared by Client" (PBC) schedules. LSL's audit team will meet before our initial on-site visit to brainstorm and discuss economic conditions, industry elements, and new standards that will affect the District. A trial balance is requested for our planning meeting to assist the LSL team in obtaining knowledge and preparing expectations for the audit year. We will compile a list of PBC items based on our review of the prior year's financial statements and the information gathered. This will be provided to the District one month prior to our visit or earlier if requested. We operate on a paperless software system and provide a secured cloud -based portal for all clients. The District will have a separate folder that can be customized to organize, and upload requested schedules, support documents, etc. If available, a current Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) will be evaluated during this segment to make a preliminary determination of the District's major programs. This allows us to properly Page 121 of 173 LSU9:::0 plan and schedule the timing of the Single Audit with the appropriate finance personnel as well as appropriate grant managers. LSL will make every effort to be proactive in our network of federal grants during the interim stages of the audit. After our interim on-site visit, we will have an exit meeting to discuss potential weaknesses, if any, and provide any feedback for improvements or valuable information we have gathered from our outside clientele that would benefit the District. Segment 2 - Financial Audit Testing: Based on the information gathered each year thus far, we will utilize a customized audit program based on the risk assessment developed during our assessment of the District's internal controls and Government Auditing Standards. The primary benefit of a tailored program is a focused set of procedures to address relevant areas. We believe that this approach will be the most effective and efficient by linking financial statement assertions, audit objectives, and procedures that are basic to most governmental audit engagements and critical to compliance with other material laws and regulations. We will annually compile another customized PBC list for the year-end on-site visit provided at least one month prior or earlier if requested. We will request trial balances from the District for our analytical review to be provided one week before our arrival. Year-end fieldwork will include testing of the balance sheet, revenue and expenditures accounts, confirmation of selected balances, analytical procedures, evaluation of the internal controls, and preparation of reports and letters. Segment 3 - Conclusion: Based on our year-end exit meeting we will schedule a plan to finalize the ACFR according to the timetable of the District. We will schedule dates for the initial and final drafts including time for LSL's and the District's review and approval of the financial statements. This period will also account for the review of the engagement partner and quality assurance partner. After the review and receipt of the signed Representation Letter from the District, we will provide the final report by mid- October of each year. LEVEL OF STAFF AND NUMBER OF HOURS TO BE ASSIGNED Reports Interim Testwork 0 0 40 40 5 85 Year -End Testwork 0 0 40 40 0 80 Report/Review/Supervision 10 25 20 0 5 60 Page 122 of 173 LS0L•� SAMPLE SIZE AND EXTENT OF STATISTICAL SAMPLING Our approach is to utilize statistical sampling in the areas of receipts, disbursements, utility billing, and payroll, where we develop a statistical conclusion based upon an initial computer selected random sample based on the population and other risk factors identified. If errors are noted in the sample, the sample size will be expanded. We believe that a random selection can be efficient while providing each item in the population an equal chance of being selected. Additionally, we may select a stratified sample of all transactions over a specified dollar limit for review. This allows us to cover all high dollar value transactions not otherwise selected in the random sample. Our samples are selected randomly utilizing IDEA data analysis software. SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES LSL is always at the forefront of technology and finding ways to increase efficiency in our audits. Our goal is to effectively streamline the audit process to make the burden of an audit easier on our clients, and to ease any technical disagreements. ADAPTING TO A REMOTE AUDITING RELATIONSHIP We are equipped with software and communication tools to support a remote audit process. We leverage both Zoom and Microsoft Teams to easily connect over a video call in a face-to-face setting, giving us the ability to share screens and information in real time. Additionally, having the customizable LSL CaseWare Cloud Portal makes the exchange of secure information easy and painless. CASEWARE At LSL, we partner with and utilize CaseWare to perform our audit and retain electronic work papers and supporting documentation in a fully cloud -based platform. During our preparation of the ACFR, all financial statements and schedules are linked to CaseWare and audit documentation which ensures accuracy and consistency with County records and eliminates the risk of manual errors. LSL CASEWARE CLOUD PORTAL Our web -based portal system gives our clients the ability to share information in a secure platform that is user friendly and easy to use. This portal is integrated with CaseWare OnPoint Collaborate, a state-of- the-art tool which takes collaborative and accounting and auditing to the next level. It facilitates direct communication with clients throughout the audit to provide and receive feedback, tracks activity, such as, audit requests, client uploads, and audit progress, all within a secure hub where access can be restricted to only individuals needing the information where necessary. This tool eliminates the need to send sensitive documents through e-mail and provide efficiencies. Each client dashboard can be customized to ensure it fits their exact needs. DATA EXTRACTION & AUDIT ANALYTICS We believe a software is only as effective as those who know how to use it. That is why we train all of our staff and incorporate into our audit approach the use of CaseWare Analytics Al and IDEA. These two complement one another to create a risk-based transaction analysis tool that we utilize to scan transaction sets and find exceptions that warrant further investigation, as well as give our clients additional assurances that previously may not have existed. These tools give a high-level summary to Page 123 of 173 LSU9:::0 users and reduce the time spent in transaction analysis but automatically performing multiple tests on the entire transaction set assisting in identifying duplicate payments, high risk journal entries and developing expectations for analytical procedures utilized during the audit. EXPERIENCE WITH ERP SYSTEMS Many of our clients have updated their systems software with new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems through the years. We have been available for questions and recommendations, including assistance with the vendor selection process. Our clients upgrading to more sophisticated ERP systems has allowed us to gain a better understanding of each ERP system and its unique capabilities. We often obtain read-only access to our clients' software and can work directly within the system. This allows us to provide useful observations and recommendations in internal control and also provides for efficient audit test work. Some of the ERP and Property Tax System we have extensive experience with include Tyler Technologies (Munis, New World, Eden), One Solution, Oracle, SAP, Infor & Megabyte and more. TYPE AND EXTENT OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES For the audits of the financial statements, we will use analytical procedures as an overall review of the financial information in the preliminary and final stages of the audits. These procedures are designed to assist us in planning our audits and in assessing the propriety of the conclusions reached and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The procedures to be utilized consist of determining expectations for changes to significant revenue, expenditure, and balance sheet accounts, reading the financial statements and related notes, reviewing the budget and related material, and focusing on overall relationships within the financial statements. Once determined, these are reviewed to evaluate if the changes appear reasonable or require further analysis. For all significant differences, explanations are obtained as to why the situation occurred and additional substantive procedures may be applied, and related evidence gathered to resolve concerns and questions. We ask that the District provide a check register electronically for July 1St forward (period after the audit year), so we can pre -select our sample for accounts payable cut-off test work and provide that information ahead of time. Our PBC list will detail out schedules we would like provided, which is directed straight from the audit report. Support requested and sampling for these schedules will be assessed each year based on the strengths and weaknesses of the internal control processes of the District, and the materiality level of the account. We will discuss our analytical variances with the District and obtain documentation that provides support for the accounts. APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING THE DISTRICT'S INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE To gain an understanding of the internal control structure over the financial statements, we will perform procedures as required by SAS 122-125. This will include a review of internal controls in the areas of financial reporting, cash, revenues and receivables, utility billing, expenses, and accounts payable, payroll, capital assets, long-term debt, and grant reporting, as applicable. Based on the result of our review, we will issue a management letter (SAS 115 Letter) that will identify any significant deficiencies and/or material weaknesses noted. This report is required by the Government Page 124 of 173 LSU9:::0 Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Auditing Standards require auditors to obtain an understanding of the entity and its environment along with assessing the risks of material misstatements. LSL obtains an understanding through a variety of ways throughout the year, but the most pertinent time each year is during our interim on-site visit. We will conduct interviews with the management of finance along with each audit section responsible party (e.g., cashier, accounts payable clerk, payroll clerk, etc.) to review the processes and controls through observation and discussions. Based on our observations, we will sample transactions as part of a "walk-through" to verify the system of control is working in accordance with policies and procedures. Each year, we will provide a list of randomly selected District employees to interview for SAS 99 fraud interviews. This list will consist of all levels and across all departments within the District. DETERMINING LAWS AND REGULATIONS SUBJECT TO AUDIT TEST WORK The Laws and Regulations that will be subject to audit test work are determined from the applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements which we identify through the understanding we obtain of the District and our extensive experience with governmental entities. DRAWING AUDIT SAMPLES For tests of controls, we use audit sampling. Tests of controls are procedures directed towards determining the effectiveness of the design or operation of an internal structure policy or procedures. Normally, audit sampling is used for tests of controls and tests of compliance that involve inspection of documents and reports indicating the performance of the applicable policy or procedures and compliance with the applicable laws and regulations. These sampling procedures test the operating effectiveness of an internal control structure policy or procedures by determining how the policy or procedure was applied, the consistency with which it was applied during the audit period, and by whom it was applied. To achieve this goal, we will draw samples for disbursements, receipts, and payroll when applicable. Each document selected will be tested for various attributes that are designed to verify compliance with different aspects of internal controls and applicable laws and regulations. Additionally, each sample item will be tested for coding to the proper accounts and posting to the general ledger. Sample sizes vary based on the population and risk-based calculations. IDENTIFICATION OF ANTICIPATED POTENTIAL AUDIT PROBLEMS The most recent relevant accounting issue impacting the District is the implementation of GASB Statement No. 95, Postponement of Effective Dates of Certain Authoritative Guidance. This statement postponed several key GASB pronouncements as a temporary relief to governments and other stakeholders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The major pronouncement that could impact the District being delayed is GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. This statement is now effective in fiscal year 2022. GASB Statement No. 87 will require all leases the District currently is under contract for, both as the lessor and lessee, to be analyzed and recorded on the District's financial statements. The term "operating" and "capital" leases will no longer be relevant, and all leases the District is under contract for will now be recorded and disclosed in some form. Page 125 of 173 LSU9:::0 MISCELLANEOUS GFOA AWARD PROGRAM We understand the importance of obtaining and maintaining the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting from the GFOA. We are confident that our firm has the depth and breadth of experience to support the District in obtaining the award of excellence in financial reporting. We prepare the financial statements and footnote disclosures for most of our local governments that have received the GFOA award. All of our governmental partners, managers, and seniors have been closely involved in the preparation of these reports. A detailed list of clients currently receiving the award is located on Exhibit B. SINGLE AUDIT EXPERIENCE Our firm has significant experience in performing Single Audits for local government agencies. We perform Single Audits for many of our clients under the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements of Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). A list of government audit clients is included on Exhibit B and notes clients for which a single audit has been performed in the last fiscal year.

' rba Linda Water District /_[r]=1►1I7_\V=1aelAI MEETING DATE: March 8, 2022 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager STAFF CONTACTS: Annie Alexander, Senior Executive Assistant / Board Secretary SUBJECT: Request for Funding for Santa Ana River Watershed Weather Modification Pilot Program RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors consider this request and provide direction to staff. BACKGROUND: At the regular meeting on January 11, 2022, Mark Norton addressed the Board regarding SAWPA's proposed Santa Ana River Watershed Weather Modification Pilot Program. Mr. Norton subsequently contacted staff to inquire about the District's interest in funding the program at a cost of $10,000 during Fiscal Year 2022-23. At President Miller's direction, this funding request is being presented to the Board for consideration. Attached is additional information regarding the program. FISCAL IMPACT: Cost Estimate: $10,000 in FY22-23 ATTACHMENTS: Program Information Page 147 of 173 Targeted Areas What is Cloud Seeding? Cloud seeding is a type of weather modification used to increase the amount of precipitation, including snow or rain, during the storm season. This process works through releasing particles of silver iodide into clouds, which increase the chances of droplet con- densation. i ne program was designed to be impiementeci in tour distinct mountain regions in the watershed. These areas were selected based on their contribution to past seasonal runoff. SAWPA has analyzed multiple storm events in the watershed over the several winter seasons, allowing them to compile a detailed climatology of the Santa Ana River Watershed region. From this, SAWPA has compiled an array of seeding sites for the Watershed's four target areas which then would be seeded by 13 ground seeding locations. 0 CNG Seeding Locations C S AHOG Seeding Locationsas:��' ID' v Target Areas � ^ Q Santa Ana River Watershed 'r Grm El AL o �r o 1C G _ _ _ 0 9 tS Milos Benefits The following are some of the major economic and environmental benefits of implementing ground based cloud seeding in the Water- shed: • Increase of 8% in precipitation, increasing runoff/streamflow in the Santa Ana River, mitigating the negative effects of climate change, and enhancing riparian habitat • Increase in water supply for the region, enhancing groundwater recharge and reducing reliability on imported water • Increase in snowpack for snow season recreational activities Page 148 of 173 How does cloud seeding work? 1. Storms come into the Watershed region, bringing in clouds and moist air (humidity) 2. Silver iodide particles are released into the atmosphere using ground based seeding systems 3. Freezing in the clouds is activated by silver iodide particles 4. Snowflakes fall to the ground, increasing the amount 0 of snowpack in mountainous regions Cloud Seeding is Safe From 50 years of research, there have been no hu- man effects caused by the cloud seeding agent, sil- ver iodide. The concentration of silver in rainwater or snow from a seeded cloud is much less than the U.S. EPA's standard for silver in drinking water. The potential environmental impacts of silver iodide have been studied extensively and represents a negligible risk to the environment. Cloud seeding Jan 2022 Notice of Intent submitted for pilot project & Public re- view period Jun 2022 SAWPA Board of Commissioners to review documents Mr Cloud Seeding Method Ground-based seeding consists of two methods, called Cloud Nuclei Generators (CNGs) and Automated High Output Ground Seeding (AHOGS). CNGs are manually operated and burn a solution of silver iodide and acetone, creating a continuous plume of seeding material that covers broad area over mountainous terrain. AHOGS systems are remotely operated units, burning in-place flares that rapidly release a high concentration of silver iodide and are ideal for seeding convective bands with high concentrations of supercooled liquid water and strong vertical updrafts. These systems are more expensive than traditional ground generators and are therefore used sparingly where the benefit outweighs the added investment. Program Schedule Feb 2022 CEQA Public Meeting CNG AHOGS Page 149 of 173 Ensuring Wildlife and Community Safety from Wildfires The cloud seeding process uses "burn -in-place" flares, meaning the flare never leaves its point of origin. Any embers from the aerial flares will extinguish before they hit the ground because of the elevation. The CNG and AHOGS systems use specialized spark arrestors to catch embers and prevent them from hitting the ground around the installations. In addition, weed reduction is performed to prevent weeds from encroaching on the seeding stations. The AHOGS towers are also equipped with cameras that are used during the seeding process. These systems have been in use for almost 30 years without any issues in California. Suspension Criteria for Flood Prevention & Water Quality Protection When large fires occur, an experienced weather modification contractor will work closely with flood districts to determine the best approach for the season or seasons following the fire. Fires can result in some adjustments to suspension criteria in affected areas of the program. The Santa Ana River Watershed's four target areas are fairly well - isolated from each other and are all targeted during different wind regimes. Probability would indicate that the cloud seeding program would only miss one event every two years due to program design to avoid flooding con- cerns in the downwind area of Riverside County (Southwest target area), which would have only a marginal impact on the overall program effective- ness. In Increasing Streamflow in the Santa Ana River Increases in precipitation in the Santa Ana River Watershed yield a roughly 1.15 multiplicative factor on stream flow. For example, a 10% increase in precipitation will yield a 15% increase in streamflow. Waterways are generally more efficient when more runoff is present, as a smaller percentage of the augmented runoff is lost to soil absorption. As a result, a positive impact down the entire stream & river network in the Santa Ana River Watershed can be predicted. Calculating Precipitation Increases with Past Climate Data The average rainfall is determined by averaging values at the available precipitation stations. The average projected rainfall was not based on the most recent five seasons. Instead, the study sought to ensure that the program would be cost effective even if there were dry years mixed in with average years. Therefore, five noncontinuous seasons from the past 10 historic years were evaluated. These five selected seasons were selected to represent a modified average that would more accurately represent the benefits of seeding during naturally occurring "dry," "normal" and "wetter" years. The expected increase in urban, populated areas is projected to be dramatically lower, as they are not a primary target for any of the generators. The largest increases would be for areas downwind from the AHOGS in the Southwest area. Page 150 of 173 Who is SAWPA? SAWPA is a Watershed Agency Focused on Regional Water Issues The Santa Ana River Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) was created to help resolve interagency con- flicts and address regional water issues in the Santa Ana River watershed.

Yorba Linda Water District /_[r]=1►1I7_\V=1161AI MEETING DATE: March 8, 2022 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager STAFF CONTACTS: Doug Davert, Assistant General Manager SUBJECT: Assistant General Manager's Report SUMMARY: A brief update on District activities and matters of interest. COMMENTS: 1. COVID: Consistent with the Governor's latest declarations and updated CDC Guidelines, we will be discontinuing the mask requirement. There are no cases of COVID at YLWD, and this will be the last report on this issue unless something changes. 2. On February 23, 2022, we were pleased to host E. Joaquin Esquivel, Chairman of the State Water Resources Board, for a tour of the PFAS Water Treatment Plant. He was escorted by Mike Markus, General Manager of the Orange County Water District. Engineering Manager Rosanne Weston, Vice -President Jones, and I were on hand to welcome them and respond to their questions. 3. The previously announced tour with members of the Governor's staff was postponed at their request. 4. On February 28, 2022, we were pleased to host Michael Dunbar, General Manager of the Emerald Bay Services District, for a tour of the heli-hyrants. After the large wildland fire near their community 2 weeks ago, they are exploring ways to enhance fire protection in their area north of Laguna Beach. 5. As noted in a previous communication, we had a significant leak in a 24 -inch transmission line near Hidden Hills Road where it meets Esperanza Road adjacent to the railroad tracks. As of the preparation of this report, the repair was nearly completed and the line nearly ready to be placed back into service. There were no interruptions in service for any YLWD customers. 6. It has been one year since construction began on the PFAS Treatment Plant (start date Page 163 of 173 was March 1, 2021). We have 8 of the 11 trains filled with resin with the last 3 scheduled for this week. As of the preparation of this report, we are meeting approximately 63.5% of our demand for groundwater. We had budgeted 40% by now, so we are exceeding our goal. We are still waiting for Edison and the Gas Company to connect service - Edison for the Booster Pump Station, and the Gas Company for the backup generators. With all trains filled with resin and the Booster Pump Station online, we will be able to maximize our use of groundwater. 7. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) is in the process of developing and adopting water loss performance standards that all Urban Retail Water Suppliers must comply with by 2028. Supplier -specific water loss performance standards are determined using an economic model that incorporates parameters from audits submitted for 2017 — 2020 and default input values provided by the State. Acknowledging that the default values in the model may not be representative of each supplier's system, the SWRCB is allowing suppliers to request custom input values calculated using their own data. YLWD has been an active participant in providing feedback to the state on the water loss standard as well as tracking updates to the regulations. On December 24, 2021, the SWRCB began the formal rulemaking process for the water loss standard. YLWD's draft default real loss standard was determined by the state's model to be 21.5 gallons per connection per day (gpcpd). This would have required YLWD to comply with a 16.5 gpcpd (43%) leakage reduction by 2028. In anticipation that the draft default target was unrealistic to achieve, given that YLWD has been proactively engaging in acoustic leak detection surveys to cost-effectively reduce water loss for several years, YLWD Engineering and Operations staff worked with E Source to provide data and calculate custom input values for the economic model. YLWD submitted a custom input request to the SWRCB prior to the end of the formal rulemaking process on February 11, 2022. Within a week, the SWRCB approved YLWD's request, which effectively decreases YLWD's leakage reduction compliance requirement from 16.5 gpcpd to 3.8 gpcpd. YLWD staff anticipates that the newly approved reduction can be achieved through continued leak detection and repair, combined with other water loss initiatives. 8. Staff continues to work diligently on the FY2022-23 budget in anticipation of our next budget workshop on March 22, 2022. 9. Attached is the monthly communications status report for reference. Staff is available to answer any questions.
