4. ADDITIONS/DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA

customers following implementation of the rate increase. Most of the callers
were concerned that they had been billed for water used before September 14th

Pearl Kaidin, resident, addressed the Board regarding the water rate increase
and questioned why her water usage before September 14th was billed at the

answer Ms. Kaidin's questions when the item was discussed.

Mr. Conklin explained that the District is pursuing a grant from the State
Water Resource Control Board to fund 50% of the cost of a Water
Recycling Facilities Planning Study. The grant application requires a
resolution of the Board authorizing the application and acceptance of the
grant should it be awarded.
On a motion by Director Mills, seconded by Director Beverage the Board
voted 5-0 on a Roll Call to approve Resolution No. 09-18 authorizing the
General Manager and Assistant General Manager to file for a Water
Recycling Facilities Planning Grant from the State Water Resources
Control Board in the amount not to exceed $75, 000.
Mr. Conklin then responded to questions from the Board.
Director Armstrong requested that the Planning-Engineering-Operations
Committee discuss the possibility of drilling another well near the Brea
Dam area at a future meeting.
7.2. Water Rate Increase
Director Beverage stated that he had received his water bill and felt that
the District should not have charged its customers for water usage prior to
September 14th at the new rate. Director Beverage further stated that this
matter is a public relations issue and the District needed to rectify the
situation.
Director Mills agreed with Director Beverage and stated that the water rate
was increased substantially and to make it retroactive seemed unfair even
though it was approved by the Board. Director Mills stated that a better
way to implement the water rate increase would be to make it effective for
4
water usage after passage of the resolution and that it should be easy to
conduct an additional meter read.
Mr. Vecchiarelli then made a brief presentation to the Board regarding the
ramifications of making a change to the implementation of the rate
increase. Mr. Vecchiarelli explained that applying the rate increase
differently may require the District to implement an additional rate increase
before the end of the fiscal year to make up the revenue difference in
order to meet debt service requirements. Mr. Vecchiarelli responded to
questions from the Board and summarized what would be involved in
conducting an additional meter read. Mr. Vecchiarelli also provided an
overview of the current billing periods and how Customer Service was
dealing with the influx of calls from District customers. Additional
discussion followed.
On a motion by Director Mills, seconded by Director Beverage, the Board
voted 5-0 to hold a meeting on Monday, October 5t" at 4.00 p.m. to
address the matter.
Director Beverage requested that the Board also review the need for
future rate increases due to expected pass through expenses at the
meeting.
Mr. Barbre addressed the Board and suggested that the District do a full
notification of the meeting to encourage public involvement.
Ms. Kaidin addressed the Board and questioned why the District did not
bill on a 30 day cycle. Ms. Kaidin also stated that she should not have
been billed retroactively.

Subject: 2,000 GPM Hale Portable Fire Pumpset
SUMMARY:
Staff has explored methods to provide water to our customers during extended power outages and
to augment our system's capabilities during emergencies. In an effort to cover as many scenarios
as possible, staff has determined that a combination of mobile pumps with different pumping
capacities and pressure ratings would best serve our needs and provide the highest level of
reliability and flexibility. Staff has researched and tested equipment that meets these needs and is
recommending purchasing a custom built trailer mounted pumpset from Hi-Tech Emergency
Vehicle Services Inc.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute a Purchase Order with Hi-
Tech Emergency Vehicle services, Inc. in the amount of $151,896.56 to purchase the Hale
FP2000DI-0 mounted on a custom built portable trailer.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee will discuss this item at its meeting being held
October 7th. Staff will report the Committee's recommendation at the Board meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The FY 2009/10 budget identified $100,000 for mobile pumping equipment for the District. In FY
2008/09, the District specified, tested and purchased a mobile pump from Godwin Pump Company
designed to pump groundwater from the District's Zone 3 pressure zone to Pressure Zone 4, which
is normally fed by imported water. Similar pumping equipment was loaned to the District during an
extended shutdown by the District's imported water supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of
Southern California (MWD) in 2008. During the Freeway Complex Fires on November 15, 2008, the
system demands were highest in the upper pressure zones where the lift requirements exceeded
the capacity of the new mobile pump. The booster pump stations were maxed out and the system
demands were quickly exceeding our reservoir storage and our combined pumping capacity in
these higher zones. The District called for and ultimately received mobile equipment from other
agencies. However, due to the nature and timing of the incident, combined with local freeway and
street closures, this equipment took several hours to reach the District and to be strategically
located and connected into the system. However once set up this equipment was able to supply
water to these higher pressure zones.
To fill the budget gap for this item, staff is proposing a transfer of $52,000 from the Risk
Management budget to the Operations budget. The budget line item for liability insurance premiums
in FY 2009/10 was set at $219,600, based on prior year premium amounts and an estimate of the
current year premium. On September 24, 2009, the Board of Directors approved an insurance
premium payment of $166,522, a figure $53,000 less than the budgeted amount. The premium was
much lower than in fiscal years 2007/08 and 2008/09 because of the calculations that the insurance
authority performs in determining the exposure modification factor. This factor is based on claims
paid out over a three-year rolling average. In this year's calculations, large claims paid out in 2005
dropped off the three-year average, thereby lowering our premium.

Subject: Proposed Installation of Solar Panels on Administration Building
SUMMARY:
The District has been investigating the feasibility of installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels since
2004. Five studies have been performed over the last five years, generally indicating payback in 10-
15 years. As a means of determining the true cost of construction and operating a PV System, staff
is recommending installing a 31 kW-AC pilot system on the Administration Building. With this in
mind, staff solicited Design/Build proposals from four solar providers. Following an evaluation of the
four proposals received, staff recommends award to Akeena Solar Inc. for a cost not to exceed
$218,106.
While this project was not funded in the current fiscal year budget, it is anticipated that savings on
other projects will cover the cost of this pilot project. In addition, staff will apply for a rebate under
the California Solar Initiative program to lower our overall cost of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute a contract with Akeena Solar
Inc. in the amount of $218,106 to provide engineering design/build services for the construction of a
31 kW-AC photovoltaic solar panel installation on the Administration Building.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Engineering Operations Committee will discuss this item at its meeting held on
October 7, 2009. Staff will report the Committee's recommendation at the Board meeting.
DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends that a relatively small solar power system be purchased and installed on the
Administration Building to provide a portion of the power required by the building. This would allow
us to gauge the cost and benefits of solar power at a relatively modest cost before considering a
larger-scale investment. The Engineering staff prepared and sent a Request for Proposal to four
solar providers experienced in this field. Four proposals were received. After reviewing each solar
provider's proposal and normalizing the bids based on kW-AC output, Engineering staff is
recommending Akeena Solar Inc. for the PV solar panel installation based on experience in the field
and cost. The ranking of the cost proposals is as follows.
Size of System Normalize Bid
Firm Base Bid (kW-AC
S to 30 to kW-AC
Akeena Solar $218,106 31.47 $207,871.77
Baker Solar Electric $207,690 30.00 $207,690.00
Advance Solar Integration $249,570 30.12 $248,567.44
Silverwood Energy $259,570 30.63 $262,802.46
As noted above, the "normalized bid" for Baker Solar Electric is lower than Akeena Solar by $181.
However, a review of experience with commercial customers for solar power installations indicates
that Baker has installed two facilities totaling 118 kW and Akeena has installed 41 facilities totaling
2232 kW. With this in mind, staff recommends award to Akeena Solar.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors recommended that the District provide a solar system on the Administration
Building rather the Spring View reservoir/booster station site.
1. Limits on Watering Days
Watering or irrigation of lawn, landscape or other vegetated area is limited to
three (3) calendar days per week, in which odd numbered addresses are
permitted to irrigate on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and even
numbered addresses are permitted irrigate Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. No irrigation is permitted on Sunday. This subsection does not
apply to any landscape irrigation system that exclusively use very low-flow
drip irrigation where no emitter produces more than two (2) gallons of water
per hour and weather based controllers or stream rotor sprinklers that meet a
70% efficiency standard.
SECTION 3: Stage 2 - Water Supply Shortage
(Water Use Reduction Goal- up to 20%)
A. A Stage 2 Water Supply Shortage exists when the District determines, in its sole
discretion, that due to drought or other water supply conditions, a water supply
shortage or threatened shortage exists and a consumer demand reduction is
necessary to make more efficient use of water and appropriately respond to
existing water conditions, or without prior Board approval when the Metropolitan
Water District of Southern California changes its Water Supply Alert stage to
"Condition 3: Water Supply Allocation of 5% through 15%".
B. In addition to the prohibited uses of water identified as permanent water
conservation measures and prohibitions against water waste (Section 1), the
following water conservation requirements apply during a declared Stage 2 Water
Supply Shortage:
1. Limits on Watering Days
Watering or irrigation of lawn, landscape or other vegetated area in the
months of April through October, is limited to three (3) calendar days per
week in which odd numbered addresses are permitted to irrigate on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and even numbered addresses are
permitted to irrigate on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. No irrigation is
permitted on Sunday. In the months of November through March,
irrigation is limited to two (2) calendar days per week, in which odd
numbered addresses are permitted to irrigate Monday and Friday, and
even numbered addresses are permitted to irrigate Tuesday and
Saturday. This subsection does not apply to any landscape irrigation

PLANNING-ENGINEERING-OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING
October 7, 2009
A meeting of the Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee was called to order by
Director Mills at 4:00 p.m. The meeting was held at the District's Administrative Office
at 1717 E Miraloma Ave, Placentia CA 92870.
COMMITTEE STAFF
Director William R. Mills, Chair Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager
Director Paul R. Armstrong Steve Conklin, Engineering Manager
Lee Cory, Operations Manager
Ken Mendum, Ops Superintendent
John DeCriscio, Chief Plant Operator
1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Mark Schock attended the meeting but did not have any comments.
2. ACTION CALENDAR
2.1. Proposed Installation of Solar Panels on Administration Building.
Mr. Conklin reported on the bids received for the solar panel project and
the evaluation process. He noted that if the project is approved by the
Board, it will be eligible for a rebate from the State of approximately
$71,000. Following discussion, the Committee supported the
recommendation of staff that the Board approve award to Akeena Solar,
Inc., for $218,106. The Committee requested that staff report back on the
progress of construction and operation, and when future investment in
additional solar power might be recommended.
2.2. 2,000 GPM Hale Portable Fire Pumpset.
Mr. DeCriscio reported on the plan to purchase a portable pumping
system to augment the District's pumping capabilities during emergencies.
The new pump would be for higher lifts in the upper pressure zones. He
noted that the District requested bids from several pump suppliers, but
only Hi-Tech Emergency Service Vehicles, Inc. provided a bid for a trailer-
mounted high-pressure pump that met specifications. He reported that
staff reviewed the bid of $151,896 and determined that acceptable;
however, staff requested that the bid be modified to provide heavy-duty
surge brakes on the trailer in place of the braking system proposed. This
increased the bid price to $153,201.56. Following discussion, the
Committee supported the recommendation of staff that the Board
authorize approval of a purchase order in the amount of $153,201.56 to
Hi-Tech Emergency Service Vehicles for the portable fire pump system.

3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
3.1. Proposed Annexation Application to OCWD
Mr. Vecchiarelli reported that to restart the annexation application process
with OCWD he proposes to send a letter to the OCWD General Manager
requesting those areas of the YLWD service area that are outside of the
OCWD service area be annexed to OCWD. He will provide a copy of the
letter to the Board and keep them apprised of the status and process.
Following discussion, the Committee supported the recommendation
proposed by Mr. Vecchiarelli.
3.2. Discussion Concerning Water Development at Carbon Canyon Dam
Mr. Conklin reported that Carbon Canyon Dam was constructed in 1960
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control purposes and is
currently operated as a recreation area by the County of Orange. He
noted that he contacted Mr. Roy Herndon, District Geologist of OCWD for
his understanding of the site for potential development of water for
irrigation. Mr. Herndon indicated that there is a shallow layer of sands and
gravel in the area but not sufficient to support sustained pumping. He also
noted that the flow from the dam is infrequent, as storm runoff, which is
generally pretty dirty. After discussion, the Committee determined that
there is no reason to further pursue the idea of water development in the
area, which is outside of the District.
3.3. Monthly Groundwater Production and Purchased Water Report
Mr. DeCriscio reported on water production for September and noted that
demand increased last month, such that it was 10.5% under last
September. Our goal was 10% reduction, so we were slightly under that.
For the first three months of the new FY, our average reduction was
16.6% compared to 19% for each of July and August. It was also noted
that September was a hot month, 2 to 4 degrees hotter than the last two
Septembers.
3.4. Monthly Preventative Maintenance Program Report
Mr. Mendum reported that the crews are essentially on target in all areas.
He noted that we have increased our efforts in sewer cleaning, aided by
CCTV to identify areas requiring extra work, such as root removal. Mr.
Cory reported that 7 months into 2009, there have been no sewer spills,
compared to 4 in 2008 and 6 in 2007, so our efforts are paying off.
3.5. Monthly OC Groundwater Producers Meeting Report
Mr. Conklin reported on the Groundwater Producers meeting in
September. At the meeting, OCWD reported that flow in the Santa Ana
River is averaging less. It was in the range of 140,000 acre-feet/year 5-6
years ago and now is in the range of 100,000. The SAR is the primary
source of recharge water for the Orange County aquifer. Reasons
suggested for the reduced flow included the extended drought and the
falling water table, more well pumping, more recycling in the Inland
2
Empire, and lower wastewater flow due to the economic downturn for
businesses and housing foreclosures.
3.6. Status Report on Capital Projects in Progress
Mr. Conklin provided a summary of the status report on capital projects in
progress, describing projects in construction, in design and in planning.
3.7. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
None.
4. ADJOURNMENT
4.1. The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. The next regular meeting of the

2.5. Conservation Ordinance Monthly Statistics
Mr. Vecchiarelli reported that September water use finished just above the
conservation target and the signs in the community have been adjusted
down for a year-to-date cumulative of 16% conservation, which is 6% over
the 10% goal.

2. DISCUSSION ITEMS
2.1. Introduction of Customer Service Division
Mr. Vecchiarelli announced that at each future CAC meeting, a different
District department will be introduced to the Committee and be provided
the opportunity to describe their particular services and functions. This
provides the Committee an opportunity to meet the people that perform
the various duties of the District. The Customer Service Division was
introduced and staff members described the meter reading process, in
addition to the water billing generation and mailing procedures.
2.2. Online Bill Pay
Mr. Grady announced that the District's Online Bill Pay system would be
available for public access by the end of Monday, September 28. The

application process and ease of use. Suggestions from CAC members
included a safety threshold for Autopay customers and an e-mail blast
notification system regarding District news and events.
2.3. Public Relations for Water Rate Increase

effective date and the retroactive application of this rate increase. The
Board will decide whether to initiate a refund to customers or proceed as

letter insert for the next two billing cycles and placing an informational ad
in the Yorba Linda Star.

19% through August 2009. He further reported that conservation signs
