Subject: Terms and Conditions for Sewer and Single Water Service with Hadi Atail,
Parcel Map 2007-196.
ERNHUHHHHOU
SUMMARY:
Mr. Hadi Atail is proposing to subdivide his property into three residential lots within the District's
Western Service Area. The project consists of approximately 1.9 acres fronting Ohio Street, south
of Buena Vista Avenue. The project site presently has a single family home that will be demolished
to accommodate the proposed three-lot residential development. An exhibit depicting the project
location and proposed sewer improvements is attached for your reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the Terms and Conditions for Sewer and Single Water Service
with Hadi Atail for a three-lot residential development, Parcel Map 2007-196, Job No. 200919.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Engineering Operations Committee reviewed this matter at its November 5, 2009
meeting and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
This project is located within Drainage Area "1" of the District's Sewer Service Area. The District
does not have an existing sewer main in Ohio Street fronting the proposed project. Staff has
reviewed the sewer master plan for this area and will require the applicant to extend a sewer main
approximately 400 feet, from Linda Verde Street westerly to serve the project. The existing sewer
main in Linda Verde Street is adequate in size to meet the demands of this project.
Concerning water service, Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) has reviewed the applicant's plan
for fire hydrant locations. OCFA has determined that the existing fire hydrants in the vicinity of this
project are within the required range, and no additional fire hydrants are required. However, OCFA
will condition the applicant to install fire sprinkler facilities in each new residence. The applicant will
utilize the two existing water services that are presently servicing the existing residence, and a new
service will be required for the remaining lot. The applicant will be required to comply with the
District's Standard Terms and Conditions for Sewer and Single Water Service. The Terms and
Conditions for Sewer and Single Water Service with Hadi Atail, Parcel Map 2007-196 are attached
for your consideration.

Subject: Terms and Conditions for Water Service with Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified
School District (PYLUSD)
EHHHHHHHHHU
SUMMARY:
PYLUSD is planning to construct two new buildings that will be utilized for a library and classroom
facilities at its Van Buren Elementary School site. The elementary school is located west of Van
Buren Street, south of Collette Place within Pressure Zone 2 of the District's Western Service Area.
An exhibit depicting the project location and proposed water service is attached for your reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the Terms and Conditions for Water Service with PYLUSD for
the new library and classroom facilities at Van Buren Elementary School, Job No. 200918.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Engineering Operations Committee reviewed this matter at its November 5, 2009
meeting and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
The District has an existing water main in Van Buren Street fronting the elementary school that is
adequate in size and of sufficient pressure to serve the project's needs. The applicant is conditioned
by Orange County Fire Authority to provide a fire suppression system to the proposed buildings and
one onsite fire hydrant for the proposed project. The onsite fire hydrant will be private and the
applicant is required to construct a double check detector assembly in association with this system.
As part of the onsite water facilities, the District has an existing public fire hydrant that benefits only
the elementary school site. Due to this condition, staff approached the PYLUSD and requested that
it be changed to a private fire hydrant facility. PYLUSD is aware of the responsibilities of a private
water facility and agreed to this condition. Therefore, staff will require that PYLUSD abandon the fire
hydrant connection in Van Buren Avenue and make a new connection to the proposed private
onsite water facilities.
The applicant will be required to comply with the District's Standard Terms and Conditions for Water
Service. The proposed Terms and Conditions for Water Service with PYLUSD are attached for your
consideration.

THIRD-QUARTER ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT COMMENTARY
30, 2009 Economic Overview Presented to the Yorba Linda Water District
ECONOMIC & INTEREST-RATE REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
The Economy: Front "When," To "How Strong, How Long." The good news for the economic outlook is
that the debate has shifted from the timing of this recovery to its strength and "staying power." The economy
is coining off a strong (by recent standards) third-quarter '`bounce," paced by leading-edge autos. housing
and manufacturing. Moreover, ingredients are in place for the usual strong recovery from a deep recession.
An ongoing credit "thaw" is increasing the chances for ample "liquidity," or "cash" to fuel the release of
sizable "pent-up" demand for "big-ticket" consumer goods, built up during the deep recession of the past
year. Moreover, foreign trade is set to provide an unusually strong "tail wind" to the recovery, now that
foreign economies are replacing the U.S. as the world's growth engine and a weakening dollar is boosting
U.S. international competitiveness. Added help is coming from fiscal stimulus, greater than at any time since
the late 1960s, along with gasoline price declines set to provide the same lift to consumer spending as they
did earlier this year.
Still. doubts about the recovery's staying power were beginning to emerge at the end of the third quarter,
reinforced by disappointing reports on September employment. auto sales and manufacturing activity.
Targeted government incentives, responsible for much of the recent strength in auto and home sales, have
expired or are set to do so in coming months. Moreover, fall-out from the credit "freeze" of the past year
including unchecked foreclosure activity, the steep decline in household wealth and unusually weak bank
balance sheets are imposing hurdles to satisfactory growth. The deep recession also has affected recovery
prospects indirectly, by triggering unusually deep and prolonged job cuts. Historically, however, the
economy has managed to overcome employment declines extending into the early stages of a recovery, often
generating its strongest growth of an economic expansion. In fact, spending decisions by the fully employed
portion of the workforce typically have been the main catalyst for a rebound from an economic slump,
affected, in turn, by changes in wages, the average workweek, inflation and by other forces shaping
households' "purchasing power." The gradual improvement in each of these will lay the foundation for a
consumer-led recovery, but one likely to be unusually moderate after a deep recession.
The Financial Market: A One-Way Bet? The credit freeze and its aftermath continued to produce an
unusual pattern to interest-rate changes during the third-quarter transition from recession to recovery.
Typically, the Federal Reserve's recession-driven cuts in interest rates into the early months of recovery
produce broad-based declines and a widening gap between yields on short- and long-term securities. "Front-
loaded" cuts in short-term rates by the Fed during last fall's credit "shock" took them down to rock-bottom
levels early in this interest-rate cycle, leaving intermediate and long-term securities hearing the brunt of
interest-rate changes with the ebb and flow of economic data and financial-market conditions. The result was
an unusually early rise in yields through early June, led by those on longer-dated securities, and a more
recent decline in those rates amid growing optimism over the inflation outlook and doubts about the
economy's growth prospects.
Interest rates still are expected to move gradually, but irregularly higher as the economic recovery slowly
takes hold. inflation prospects turn less sanguine and expectations build for a more restrained credit stance by
the Fed. '`Quantitative easing" by the central bank already has tilted from loans and guarantees to the banking
system toward efforts to jump-start the market for asset-backed securities. A reversal of quantitative easing
likely will become more broadly based and apparent during the first half of 2010, ahead of increases in short-
term rates about the likely time the unemployment rate peaks in the summer. The next interest-rate "up
cycle" should be led, again, by inflation-sensitive longer-term rates. as an improving economy takes some of
the optimism out of the inflation outlook. Increases should shift toward policy-sensitive, intermediate rates in
the run-up to the Fed's expected shift away from aggressive easing around mid-year. then rotate toward
short-term money-market rates with successive hikes in the Fed funds target rate. The greater risk continues
to be an earlier-than-expected start to that sequence, triggered by unexpectedly strong economic growth.
worries over large, persistent structural deficits in the Federal budget" a weakening dollar or any other
disturbance serious enough to force early interest-rate increases by the Federal Reserve to re-establish its
inflation-fighting credentials.
STOCK MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Risky Business. Capped by a September rally in what normally is the worst month of the year, stocks
extended their rally with a 15.6% third-quarter return by the benchmark S&P 500 that was the best in over a
decade. Broad-based gains extended across all ten of the S&P 500's sectors and to 129 of its 134 industry
groups, overcoming increasingly less attractive valuations as the powerful rally continued into a second
straight quarter. Leadership by the market's more highly charged financial services, tech and cyclically
sensitive sectors--typical during the recession-recovery transition--was reinforced by increased risk tolerance.
demand-enhancing leverage from ample "liquidity," by a cost-driven recovery of corporate profits and with a
supporting role late in the period from renewed merger and acquisition activity. More "defensive"
telecommunications, utilities. health care and consumer staples joined energy stocks at the bottom rungs of
the performance rankings. The rally's breadth extended beyond S&P 500 stocks to virtually all sectors of the
stock market. with gains generally in the 15%-201Ie range. Small and, particularly, mid-cap stocks benefited
more than higher-quality, large caps from investors' increased risk tolerance. The Russell 1000 Value Index
was lifted past its Growth counterpart by a relatively strong showing in ten of the twelve constituent sectors
making up the two benchmarks, capped by a strong gain in its dominant financial services sector. And
strength in most European markets combined with a weakening dollar to lift the "EAFE" benchmark for
international equities past the S&P 500.
A Return To Quality? The stock market's setback at the start of the fourth quarter, in volatile trading,
underscored investor uncertainty over the rally's staying power after impressive gains during its six-month
rally. The essential building blocks for a rally still largely are in place, though the moderate economic
recovery expected in coming months could make it "choppier" and weaker than it has been thus far this year.
Earnings growth should be supported by moderate increases revenues, reinforced by past cost cutting that
allow an unusually large share of future sales gains to flow right to the bottom line. Ample cash on the
sidelines, channeled mainly toward bonds in recent months. still provides plenty of "dry powder" to support
a rally in stocks as conditions in the market improve. And valuations, though elevated, still are in line with
their historic average, based on most valuation measures, particularly when compared to low yielding, high-
priced bonds. "Richer" valuations are more apparent in the market's lower-quality sectors that have led the
rise during most of the six-month rally. That, plus increased uncertainty over the economy's underlying
strength, could encourage a tilt in coming months toward higher quality, more resilient stocks that have
lagged the market's gains thus far.
BOND MARKET REVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Firing On All Cylinders. The third-quarter rally in financial assets extended to the bond market. lifting the
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index of investment-grade. taxable bonds by 3.7% on the quarter and nearly 53/4%
on the year. The credit "thaw was the rally's main engine during much of the period, squeezing yield
premiums to comparable Treasury issues back to their pre-crisis average in some instances. Gains were
propelled both by direct government purchases and by the same liquidity-driven increase in risk tolerance
powering the stock market. Low short-term interest rates also kept funding costs cheap enough to "super-
charge" the bond market's gains through "levered investments in securities. The rally extended to the
Treasury sector during the latter part of the quarter, as investors turned more cautious amid fresh doubts
about the strength and staying power of the emerging recovery. The U.S. Aggregate's commercial mortgage-
backed sector was its stand-out performer, with a double-digit gain during the July-September period. The
investment-grade corporate sector posted an impressive, 8.1IIe gain in the third quarter, paced by powerful
returns on lower-quality BBB-rated issues. The Aggregate's asset-backed sector also did well. supported by
the government's new "TALF" funding facility and featuring an explosive rise in its home-equity sector.
Agency and mortgage-backed securities posted more modest, but still respectable gains, supported by
government purchases that have driven yield premiums to comparable Treasury issues down below their pre-
crisis average. Elsewhere. the increased appetite for corporate-sector risk extended to non-investment grade
securities. which posted double-digit gains in the third quarter. Municipal securities also performed
impressively, supported by still-attractive yield premiums and by tight, tax-exempt supply amid the growing
popularity of taxable Build America Bonds (or "BABS"). Overseas, non-U.S. Treasury bonds posted gains in
line with those in the U.S. "governments," despite a relatively weak finish to the quarter. Powerful gains in
most Euro-area markets have left overseas Treasury bonds well ahead of the U.S. sector on the year.
Weighing The "Head Winds" To A Fourth-Quarter Rally. The economic recovery may not be enough to
prevent a more challenging environment for the bond market during the closing months of the year. First,
most sectors of the market are more fully valued against comparable Treasury securities. now that yield
premiums are more closely in line with their historic averages. Second. the risk of higher interest rates will
build with the economic recovery. Historically low yields have left bond prices unusually sensitive to
interest-rate changes, magnifying potential losses from any backup in longer-term rates. Third. credit quality
likely will undergo its usual deterioration into the first year of an economic recovery, particularly if it is as
moderate as expected, potentially aggravated by sizable refinancing needs in a credit market still recovering
from the recent freeze. Portfolio-manager surveys show investments insulated partially from a backup in
interest rates, but less so against a deterioration of credit quality. On average, portfolios are "short" their so-
called "duration" benchmarks, indicating a tilt toward shorter-term, less interest-sensitive securities.
However, "cash" allocations still are below average. and portfolios remain over-weighted in lower-quality,
corporate securities after their powerful rally of recent months. If, as expected, the bond rally sputters
temporarily, amid worries over the strength of the recovery, corporate earnings growth and refinancing risk,
fourth-quarter activity likely will be marked by a rotation back toward "quality" that extends beyond
Treasury securities to the market's agency and mortgage-backed sectors.

Integrated Resource Plan
Mr. Hunt gave a summary of the Metropolitan Water District's Strategic
Policy Review and discussed the role MWD has played historically in

is reviewing their level of participation and the financial consequences of

projections for the future. Mr. Hunt agreed to give a presentation to the
full YLWD Board of Directors at one of their regular meetings in January.

Friday and were presented with two very different opinions regarding the
effectiveness of a water budget-based tiered rate structure. Mr. Ash gave
a presentation on the subject and shared his experiences with this type of
rate structure in Irvine where it has been used since the early 1990's. The
