Subject: Financial Statements for Quarter Ending September 30, 2011
SUMMARY:
Presented are the Financial Statements for the Quarter Ending September 2011 for the Water and
Sewer Funds.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors receive and file the Financial Statements for
the Quarter Ending September 30, 2011.
DISCUSSION:
For the quarter ending September 30, 2011 the staff is presenting a consolidated unaudited
statement in the CAFR format. This is a new approach by presenting the quarterly statements on an
accrual basis, and we believe that this is a more transparent presentation of the District's overall
financial position for your review. Water Operating Revenue, as presented, is 30.6% of annual
budget, which puts us less than 3% behind pace of making our current year's budget. Other
Operating Revenue is 45% of annual budget. This is primarily due to receiving un-budgeted
revenue relating to the Vista Del Verde Project.
Sewer Other Operating Revenue is well over budget due to the un-budgeted Vista Del Verde
Project hitting revenue in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Sewer Other Non-Operating revenue is
also well over budget, primarily because of receiving $264,000 from the City of Yorba Linda for the
Sewer Transfer.
The one major reporting item to note this first quarter is that the District recorded the fair market
value of the sewers that came from the City of Yorba Linda. The value, calculated by staff and
reviewed by the District's auditors, is recorded at more than $17 million and is recorded on the
income statement as contributed capital.

Subject: OPEB Liability Pay Down
SUMMARY:
The District budgeted $217,979 for the FY 2011/12 Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for Other
Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) expenditures. The Board also approved a financial reserves
policy in June 2011, designating $100,000 to be set aside for an Employee Liability Reserve. In
January 2011, the Board authorized staff to pre-fund OPEB costs through the California Employees'
Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT), managed by CalPERS. Funding beyond the ARC at any time
reduces the District's Net OPEB Liability (of approximately $122,000 as of June 30, 2011) and
reduces the long-term costs of paying the District's Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (of
approximately $1,267,000 as of June 30, 2011). A reduction of the current liability will effectively
result in a 7.6% interest earning in a one-year period of time, as the unfunded liability is assessed
an annual interest charge of 7.6% per year by the current actuarial assumptions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors authorize staff to deposit $263,810
($317,979 less actual retiree costs through November 2011) to the California Employees'
Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT) for Fiscal Year 2011/12.
DISCUSSION:
The District's budgeted Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for Other Post-Employment Benefits
(OPEB) for 2011/12 is $217,979. Prior to fiscal year 2010/11, the District had paid retiree benefits
on a pay-as-you-go basis (PAYGO), which has resulted in an underfunding of it's annual OPEB
costs. In June 2011, with the adoption of the current Reserve Policy, the District established the
Employee Liability Reserve, calling for $100,000 to be set aside annually to pay down our OPEB
liability.
The District's current Net OPEB Liability is approximately $122,000 as of FY 2010/11. This amount
will be assessed a 7.6% actuarially assumed interest charge annually, but by paying down the
OPEB Liability, the District will effectively save $7,600 on the following years' interest charge. In
addition, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the CERBT earned its investing agencies a
24% yield. At the same time, the District's average yield hovered slightly above 1 Funding the
CERBT with Employee Liability Reserve money makes prudent financial sense and complies with
the purpose that the reserve established.
On June 23, 2011, the Board authorized staff to deposit the difference between our budgeted OPEB
expense plus the $100,000 from the Employee Liability Reserve less actual retiree costs paid by the
District. This year, staff propose that we pre-fund the CERBT with the same expenses submitted
last year as well as actual retiree costs that will be paid by the District throughout future months in
this fiscal year. By pre-funding the CERBT, the District can submit for reimbursement for actual
retiree costs for the periods of December 2011 through June 2012, but take advantage of the
CERBT's superior investment rate of return in the meantime. Staff is planning to submit those
reimbursement requests at the end of FY 2011/12.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On January 26, 2011, the Board authorized the President to execute a CERBT Program Agreement
and Election of YLWD to Pre-fund Other Post Employment Benefits through CalPERS.
On June 23, 2011, the Board authorized staff to deposit $162,817.77 to the California Employees
Retirement Benefit Trust for Fiscal Year 2010/11, to pay down a portion of the District's Other Post
Employment Benefits liability.
On June 23, 2011, the Board approved Resolution No. 11-09 adopting the current budget that
included $217,979 set aside for OPEB expenditures and the Board approved Resolution No. 11-12
adopting a financial reserves policy that included an annual funding of $100,000 for an Employees
Liability Reserve.

Subject: Purchasing Card Recommendation
SUMMARY:
After meeting and discussing with ten prospective service providers who presented twelve
purchasing card options over the last nine months, staff has reached a conclusion as to a
recommendation for the Board. The recommendation would allow for the least amount of change to
the current purchasing approval process, but still get the advantage of reduced staff time and a
cash rebate for paying vendors that are willing by credit card.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to sign the
Addendum to State of California Purchase Card Program Master Services Agreement with the State
of California and US Bank, and allow staff to proceed with implementing a Purchasing Card
Program at the District.
DISCUSSION:
In February, staff met with American Express to consider using that vendor for a purchasing card
program that would allow the District to receive financial benefits for paying vendors via credit
cards. When the recommendation was presented to the Finance-Accounting Committee in March
2011, the Committee recommended that staff explore other options besides American Express.
Since that time, staff has been in contact with American Express, Bank of America, Bank of the
West, Comerica Bank, Commerce Bank, First Bankcard/Union Bank, JPMorgan Chase, PFM, US
Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, who presented 12 purchasing card options. After 14 meetings with
representatives of these various banks, staff has reached a conclusion as to a recommendation for
the Board.
Staff recommends establishing a purchasing card program with US Bank through their CalCard
program. There are many advantages to a program with US Bank and the CalCard program. Some
of those include:
. There are no costs to the program regardless of how much or little it is used
. The best rebate offered at the first dollar charged to the card (only two other choices offered a
rebate under $1,000,000 in annual spend)
. The District's current approval process could remain the same (only offered by two other
choices)
. The program integrates with the District's accounting software, GreatPlains (only offered by
four other choices)
. There is no contract term (while the State of California has an agreement with US Bank
through October 2013, the District could add or drop the program at any time with no
penalties)
. Rebates would be received quarterly (only one other option was more often than annually)
Staff believes that over time the District will be able to charge more than $1,000,000 annually on
credit cards to pay vendors in the regular course of business. At that level of spending with the
CalCard program the District would receive a rebate of more than $9,000 a year. This would be a
new revenue source and would be perpetual.
In actuality, the recommendation to the Board is not a purchasing card program in the traditional
sense. A purchasing card usually requires a different approval process. What staff explored with
this program was a way to integrate our current approval process and still be able to show the
Board the list of vendors for approval prior to the majority of vendors receiving payment. This allows
the PO process to remain the same, but at the time that checks are to be cut, the vendors that
accept payment by credit card would be processed in a different manner. One additional unique
advantage to the CalCard program through US Bank is that the option allows the integration of this
program and a traditional purchase card program should the District desire to head that way in the
future.
The approval and integration with GreatPlains process will take approximately two months before
the card could begin to be used. This process cannot begin until an authorized representative and
legal counsel approve the Addendum to State of California Purchase Card Program Master
Services Agreement - see attached.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On June 9, 2011 the Board adopted the 2011-2013 Strategic Plan, which included FR 3-13 - Review
Opportunities to Earn "Cash-Back" on Operating Expenses through Commercial Credit Card

Subject: Adopting a Public Investment Policy
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors adopt a resolution setting forth a Public
Funds Investment Policy and rescinding Resolution No. 11-08.
DISCUSSION:
The California Government Code says "the treasurer or chief fiscal officer of a local agency may
annually render to the legislative body of that local agency and any oversight committee of that local
agency, a statement of investment policy, which should be considered at a public meeting." As
such, the attached resolution is being presented to the Finance-Accounting Committee for review
before being submitted for consideration by the Board.
This year a change was made to allow investments in Negotiable Certificates of Participation (which
the District previously invested in, but was not specifically named as an authorized investment),
along with some language clean-up in the Obligations Issued by Federal Agencies area. The key
change in the current investment policy, however, is the removal of dollar limits that are allowed to
be invested in LAIF, CaITRUST and the Orange County Treasurer's Commingled Investment Pool.
The policy previously placed no limit on the percentage of the total portfolio that could be placed in
those categories, but had a $10 million plus bond proceeds limit.
The California Government Code offers no percentage of total portfolio or dollar restriction on any of
those three items (with the exception of LAIF, which itself has restricted investments to a maximum
of $40 million). If the Finance-Accounting Committee desires, the policy could be kept the same,
requiring investment techniques to change to spread the District's investments into a variety of
options. It is staff's recommendation, however, that the dollar limits be removed for the three very
common investment options under consideration. This change would ensure that the District is in
compliance with it's investment policy, while still allowing money to be placed in low-risk investment
options.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The District's current investment policy was adopted by Resolution No. 11-08 on May 12, 2011.

of the investment program as follows:
a) The authority of the Board of Directors to invest funds is derived
from Section 53607 of the CGC. The responsibility to invest,
reinvest, sell or exchange securities is hereby delegated to the
General Manager or Finance Director for a period of one year. The
Resolution No. 11-XX Setting Forth Public Funds Investment Policy and Rescinding Resolution No. 11-08 1
Board of Directors may renew the delegation of authority pursuant
to state law each year.
b) The standard of prudence to be used by the designated
representative shall be the "prudent investor" standard and shall be
applied in the contest of managing the overall portfolio. The
meaning of the standard of prudent investor, means investment,
reinvestment, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or
managing public funds shall be made with care, skill, prudence and
diligence, under circumstances then prevailing, including but not
limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated
needs of the agency, which a prudent person, acting in a like
capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct
of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the
principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the District.
Section 3: The General Manager or his/her designated representative shall maintain
a cash flow analysis for projecting cash available for investments. All
funds not required for immediate or intermediate use may be invested in
accordance with this policy. The total funds invested at any time pursuant
to this policy will constitute the District's "investment portfolio".
Section 4: Priorities regarding the investment of District held public funds are:
a) The safety of funds. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment portfolio. Investments shall be undertaken in a
manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the
overall portfolio.
b) The maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet all operating
requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. Securities
should mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated
demands.
c) The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
attaining the best yield or returns on investments, taking into
account the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return
on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety

Subject: September 2011 Debt Service Ratio
DISCUSSION:
Yorba Linda Water District covenanted with the issuance of the 2003 and 2008 Certificates of
Participation (COP's), "...to fix, prescribe and collect rates and charges for Water Service which will
be at least sufficient to yield, during each Fiscal Year, Net Revenues equal to 110% of the Debt
Service for such Fiscal Year." To confirm the covenant is upheld, a calculation is made and
reviewed by the external auditors and included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Honoring these covenants allows the District to maintain high bond ratings and provides confidence
in the financial markets for any bond resales and future issuances.
The June 30, 2011 audit revealed that the District's debt service calculation was 183% - well above
the rate covenant. The staff calculates the District's debt service ratio on a quarterly basis and
reports this figure to the Finance-Accounting Committee. Accordingly, September 2011's unaudited
debt service ratio is 246% as shown in the attached calculation. It should be pointed out that the
District generally sells one third of its water in the first three months of the fiscal year. Therefore, the
September ratio is going to trend higher than should be expected for future quarters. Despite this
observation, however, the District's financial health for the first three months of Fiscal Year 2011-12
is strong as it pertains to the debt service ratio indicator.

SUMMARY:
Staff is submitting the October 2011 Monthly Investment Reports for the Committee's review. This is
in accordance with Government Code Section 53607, et, seq., which requires the person delegated
to invest funds to make a quarterly report of the investments to the legislative body.
DISCUSSION:
The Investment Portfolio Report presents the market value and percent yield for all the District
investments by institution. The Investment Report Summary includes budget and actual interest and
average term portfolio information as well as market value broken out by reserve categories. The
total yield for the month ending October 2011 decreased to 0.99%. This is the result from the yield
change of investments held in CaITRUST's Short Term portfolio from 0.54% to 0.45%, as well as in
the Medium Term portfolio from 1.31 % to 1.19%.
The overall increase in the investment balance from the previous month is $473,000. A couple of
the larger balance changes include an increase in the Reserve for Debt Service fund of $262,000
due to District meeting its monthly obligation to ensure the funds are set aside for the March 2012
debt service interest payment, an increase of $765,000 in the Water Operating fund due to
decrease in the month's overall accounts payable activity, and a decrease of $531,000 in the 2008
COP Revenue account for CIP project activity.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
Monthly Investment Reports are presented to the Finance-Accounting Committee on a regular
basis. Quarterly Investment Reports are presented to the Board of Directors. The Investment

Subject: October 2011 Budget to Actual Results
DISCUSSION:
Attached are the District's budget to actual summary results for the Water Fund, Sewer Fund and a
combined statement for both funds pertaining to the reporting month of October 2011.
For the month of October 2011, the District water revenue is trending slightly below expectations
due to lower water consumption from cooler than normal summer temperatures. Water operating
revenue is 38.9% of annual budget, which is lower by approximately 3.2% from the historical trend
for the first reporting month of the fiscal year. Our 20 by 2020 baseline is 286.1 gallons per capita
per day (GPCD), with a target of 228.9. For the current fiscal year through October 2011, the
District is using 239.5 GPCD. The reduction of 46.6 GPCD brings us 81.4% of the way to our goal.
Other Operating Revenue is 52% of annual budget for the month of October. This is primarily due to
the activity that was reported in the previous months in relation to the Vista Del Verde project.
Variable water costs as a percentage of budget are higher than operating revenues as a result of
purchasing more import water prior to Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's 7.5% rate
increase, which takes effect on January 1, 2012.
The majority of the water fund's individual supplies and services expenses are trending below or on
budget, with the exception of Dues and Memberships, Insurance, and Materials, which are higher
because of timing differences.
In the month of October, Sewer Other Operating Revenue is well over budget due to the Vista del
Verde Project as reported in previous months. Sewer Other Non-Operating revenue is also well
over budget, primarily due to receiving $264,000 from the City of Yorba Linda for the sewer transfer.
The supplies and services expenses are trending below or on budget, with the exceptions of Dues
and Memberships, Insurance, and Professional Services.
