Subject: Proposed Change Order No. 4 to Well Rehabilitation Contract.
SUMMARY:
Well 5 rehabilitation testing has been completed to determine modifications required for continued
long -term production of the 60- year -old well. The work was performed by General Pump Company,
who was previously retained for the District's Well Optimization Project based on competitive
bidding in accordance with District procedures. Testing and monitoring was based on specifications
prepared by the District's consultant, CDM. District Staff, in concert with CDM, has monitored work
performed by General Pump and recommends approval of Change Order No 4 as attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize approval of Change Order No. 4 in the amount of $36,185 to
conduct test pumping as part of Well 5 rehabilitation.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning- Engineering- Operations Committee discussed this item at its meeting on January 7,
2010 and supports staff recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
Work is continuing on the District's Well Optimization Project, to maximize the life and production of
our existing wells. The first element of work was testing and rehabilitation of Well No.12 by General
Pump, which encompassed Change Order No. 1, approved by the Board in August 2009. The
second element of work was testing of Well No. 5, which recently underwent video - inspection,
cleaning and test - pumping. This work was performed as Change Orders No. 2 and 3 under the
General Manager's signature authority, including pump removal and video - logging ($8,611) and
wire -brush cleaning and re -video ($4,621), respectively.
Following the above, District staff requested a proposal from General Pump to perform a test
program for Well No. 5 similar to that performed for Well No. 12. A copy of the proposal, dated
October 5, 2009, is attached for a proposed cost of $40,785. The actual work performed, under the
supervision of staff from CDM and the District, was less than proposed, at a final cost of $36,185.
Pump- testing was performed under various flow rates to determine a sustainable flow rate that
could be achieved without air being entrained in the discharge. The air is a result of water
cascading down the well casing as a result of the declining aquifer levels. Based on the test pump
results, a discharge of 2,000 GPM appears to be feasible.
Change Order 4, in the amount of $36,185, includes installation of the test pump and packer, along
with a temporary holding tank to conduct test pumping as recommended by District Staff and CDM.
If approved, Change Order No. 4 increases the total contract price to $156,375.39.
District staff reviewed and recommends approval of the change order to proceed with further
rehabilitation and service of Well 5. Staff will seek future Board authorization when additional costs
for permanent pump installation improvements are determined.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On December 11, 2008, the Board authorized approval of a contract with General Pump Company
for well rehabilitation services. On August 6, 2009, the Board approved Change Order 1 to provide
and install a new water -lubed pump at Well 12 for $56,973.39.

Letter of Intent to Accept the City of Yorba Linda Sewer System
On January 19, 2009, the Yorba Linda City Council will discuss financial alternatives and consider a
sale or transfer of the sewer system that is currently operated and maintained by the City. Included
within that discussion is the possible transfer of the City sewer system to the Yorba Linda Water
District to operate and maintain indefinitely.
Prior to the January 19 City Council meeting, Staff suggests a notification to the City of the District's
willingness to accept the sewer system and identifying preliminary conditions for acceptance should
the Council opt for the transfer. Attached for the Board's review and consideration is
correspondence addressed to the City Mayor expressing the District's willingness to accept the
sewer system should the City select this alternative.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider authorizing the President to execute the attached
correspondence addressed to the Mayor of the City of Yorba Linda, expressing the District's
willingness to accept the sewer system to operate and maintain for the overall benefit of the
community and the residents served by this system.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None
DISCUSSION:
In 2006, the new Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for sanitary sewer systems placed costly
mandates on agencies that operate and maintain sewer systems. For the City of Yorba Linda, these
mandates have resulted in additional costs of approximately $500,000 per year, above and beyond
what is currently being collected from their existing Sewer District Assessment fees. According to
City reports, the $500,000 shortfall continues to be subsidized from the City's general fund on a
yearly basis.
In April 2009, the City conducted a wastewater rate study to determine the appropriate fee structure
for operating and maintaining the sewer system. A Proposition 218 hearing was held by the City in
August 2009. The Council however declined to raise the sewer rates at that time.
At its January 19, 2009 meeting, the City Council will discuss various alternatives related to the
sewer system and the financial impacts of each. One alternative includes the potential sale or
transfer of the system to a private company or to Yorba Linda Water District. Both City and District
officials have previously discussed this matter and mutually agree that transfer of the system to the
District is feasible and provides the best overall benefit for the community.
Under this alternative, Staff believes a transfer should take place at no cost to the District. Since the
assets of the sewer system were previously paid for by the residents, any charge associated with a
potential transfer would need to be recovered by the same residents. In essence, the customers
would pay for the sewer system twice. This would be the case should the City opt to sell the
facilities to a for - profit private company. However, since Yorba Linda Water District is a public
agency where all assets are owned by the public, a direct transfer of the sewer system from the City
to the District, at no cost, would be the most feasible and cost effective option for all parties
concerned, especially for the residents of Yorba Linda.
Should the City opt to transfer the sewer system and should the Board be willing to accept, the
District's start -up for maintaining the system would be minimal as the District has maintained the
City system in prior years under a contract with the City. The District also has the equipment and
trained staff for a smooth transition. As a formality, a transfer would require application and approval
from the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO).
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
None.

Dear Mayor Anderson:
It is our understanding that the City Council will consider the option of transferring
the ownership and maintenance responsibility of the City -owned sewer system to the
Yorba Linda Water District. Under this option, the public's vital infrastructure would
remain publicly -owned and maintained under local control. The District does not
support a purchase /sale option, which ultimately passes on to the citizens and
businesses, additional costs for a system that has previously been paid for by the
residents of Yorba Linda, in addition to relinquishing local control.
I have been authorized to inform you that our Board of Directors supports the public
transfer option and that our management and staff are prepared to make this
transfer and transition as seamless as possible for the benefit of the community we
jointly serve.
The District is prepared to provide sewer service to the entire Yorba Linda
community and looks forward to serving reliable, cost effective water and sewer
services for many years to come.
Sincerely,
William R. Mills

Subject: Procedures for Filling a Vacancy on the Board of Directors
SUMMARY:
Sadly, Director Paul R. Armstrong passed away January 8, 2010 leaving a vacancy on the Board of
Directors. According to Section 1780 of the California Government Code, the Board has two options
to fill this vacancy.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider the options available for filling the vacancy on the Board and
provide further direction to staff.
DISCUSSION:
On January 8, 2010, Director Paul R. Armstrong passed away with nearly 28 years of continuous,
dedicated service on the Board of Directors. The Board has two options to fill the existing vacancy
which are summarized below:
Appointment
The Board can fill the vacancy by making an appointment within 60 days of this meeting, or by
March 14, 2010. This would require that a notice of vacancy be posted in three or more
conspicuous places in the District at least 15 days before the appointment is made. The Board may
choose to solicit interested persons to apply for the appointment as well as form an ad hoc
committee to review the applications and provide recommendations to the Board for interviews and
possible appointment.
Election
In lieu of making an appointment, the Board may choose to call an election. The next available and
qualifying election date would be June 8, 2010. To participate in this election, the District wold need
to provide notice to the Orange County Registrar of Voters Office before January 29, 2010. The
Registrar's Office has advised staff that participating in this election would cost between $86,000
and $106,000.
In the event that the Board does not appoint someone to fill the vacancy or call an election by
March 14, 2010, the Orange County Board of Supervisors has the authority to fill the vacancy by
appointment or by calling an election.
While Director Armstrong's term is up for election this November, in order to effectively continue the
business of the District and to save our rate payers the extensive cost and delay of an election, staff
recommends the Board of Directors consider filling Director Armstrong's position with a qualified
and willing candidate that is committed to run in the November general election.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
Historically, the Board of Directors has chosen to fill vacancies on the Board by appointment rather
than election when the vacancy occurs between regular elections.

1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
2. ACTION CALENDAR
2.1. November 2009 Budget to Actual Results
Ms. Navaroli noted that although revenues are behind prior year amounts
at this time, they will likely catch up during the last six months of the fiscal
year as the rate increase is now in full effect. She also indicated that the
expenses appear to be mostly on target with budgeted amounts, and will
be reevaluated next month in greater detail as we close the second
quarter and review our mid -year budget status.
2.2. November 2009 Monthly Investment Report
Ms. Navaroli presented the monthly investment report and noted that
capital bond proceeds are being spent as projected and that there were no
large variations in reserve levels.
3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
3.1. Retirement Alternatives (Verbal Report)
Ms. Navaroli requested an additional month to complete the retirement
alternatives survey, and also asked for more clarification on the financial
analysis the Committee would like prepared. It was agreed that the survey
would be presented at the February meeting, at which time the Committee
will decide on alternatives that merit a more thorough financial analysis.
3.2. Monthly Portfolio Reports for December
Ms. Navaroli noted that the yield on investments is still quite low and then
introduced Mr. Keith Khorey, from Wells Capital Management, who
discussed alternative investments such as CalTrust. The Committee
asked Mr. Khorey to contact a representative from CalTrust and have
them return next month to provide more information.
1
3.3. Inventory Surplussed in Compliance with Restrictive Lead Regulation
Ms. Navaroli indicated that the restricted inventory was sold or disposed of
by December 31, 2009, as required by California law. As expected, there
was a loss on the disposal of the inventory. However some funds were
recovered by selling the inventory to an out of state vendor and to in -state
vendors for scrap.
3.4. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
Staff was directed to bring the results of the retirement alternatives survey
to the next Committee meeting, and to put the CalTrust investment
alternative on the next agenda if a representative is available to provide
more information.
