In addition, all Board Members are expected to attend CSDA's two annual events:
Special Districts Legislative Days (held in the spring) and the Annual Conference
(held in the fall) as part of their obligation to the CSDA membership; expenses for
these two events are not reimbursed by CSDA, even if a board meeting or
committee meeting is held in conjunction with the event.
Nomination Procedures: Any regular member Independent Special District is

Subject: Training Opportunities for Board and Executive Staff
SUMMARY:
As part of the benefits of joining the California Special Districts Association (CSDA), the opportunity
for training, recognition and/or certification in leadership, specific to special districts is available for
both Board Members and executive staff. As outlined in the FY 2011-13 Strategic Plan, initiative CP
2: Increase Public Awareness of Water and Wastewater Related Issues and initiative WE 1 : Retain
a Highly Skilled and Capable Workforce, both encourage continued training for the Board and
executive staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee review and consider a level of commitment and time frame goal and objectives
to recommend the Board consider for its members, for the executive staff and for the District overall,
to achieve CSDA's Recognition in Special District Governance, Leadership Academy and District of
Distrinction.
DISCUSSION:
The Recognition in Special District Governance is a recognition for special district Board Members
who wish to complete training specific to governance of a special district. The Recognition is
completed on an individual basis and is comprised of two parts: (1) CSDA's Special District
Leadership Academy and (2) 10 hours of elective courses from either CSDA or ACWA. CSDA's
Leadership Academy is a continuing education program that focuses on the specific skills required
to lead and manage a special district. It is comprised of four six-hour modules. Module 1 :
Governance Foundations focuses on special district trustees as policy leaders and the board's
responsibilities and roles in special districts. Module 2: Setting Direction/Community Leadership
focuses on setting long-term direction for a special district and the board's role in educating the
public on the importance of the agency's agenda. Module 3: Board's Role in Finance and Fiscal
Accountability focuses on how the board carries out its fiduciary responsibility in the district. Module
4: Board's Role in Human Resources focuses on the board's ongoing relationship with the general
manager and the executive staff, including evaluations and organizational structure.
The cost, per individual, for all four modules is $820. Both Board Members and the General
Manager are encouraged to participate in the Leadership Academy, although only the Board
Members can receive "credit" for the Leadership Academy towards Recognition in Special District
Governance. Additionally, CSDA grants a District of Distinction award for agencies whose Board
Members, General Manager and Executive Staff (at the discretion of the Board) take at least one of
the Leadership Academy courses. The application for District of Distinction would be considered to
be much stronger, however, if the Board and General Manager completed all of the modules in the
Leadership Academy.
Upon completion of both the Leadership Academy and the 10 hours of elective courses, the
individual Board member will receive a certificate and be recognized at the CSDA and ACWA
annual conferences. The fee for the individual recognition is $65 and the recognition is valid for a
lifetime. In addition to Recognitions given to individual Board Members, districts that have a majority
of their board holding Recognitions will receive a Silver Recognition and districts with their entire
Board holding Recognitions will receive a Gold Recognition. District Recognitions will be presented
at a CSDA or ACWA annual conference. There is no fee for the District Recognition.
The Special District Administrator (SDA) Certification is the CSDA certification for executive staff of
special districts. In order to earn the SDA Certification, an individual must have worked three out of
the last five years in a position of management in a California special district. In addition, the
applicant must have at least 400 points (points are awarded based on number of years in
management, level of education and continued education training classes taken through either
CSDA or ACWA) to be determined eligible to take the SDA Certification exam.
The fee for the exam is $300 and includes a study guide. In the event that the individual applying
does not have enough points to be eligible to take the exam, the fee remains valid for three years.
The fee for re-taking an exam is $150. The SDA Certification remains valid for four years and can
be kept current by completion of 75 continuing education points (approximately 10 full day training
courses) and a nominal recertification fee within each additional four-year period.

Subject: Board Tablet PC Reimbursement Policy
SUMMARY:
At the direction of the Committee, staff has developed a draft policy for the acquisition of Apple
iPads or similar tablet devices for Directors to view digital District Board agenda packets and other
District documents, eliminating the need to copy and mail paper agenda packets weekly. A copy of
the draft policy is attached.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Committee review and consider the draft policy and recommend any changes desired to
have the Board consider adoption and implementation of the policy.
DISCUSSION:
The Committee has reviewed this item over the past several months and has suggested staff review
other agencies' programs and consider a communications allowance whereby individual Board
members select and purchase a device of their choosing and take responsibility for its maintenance
and operations. The Board approved funds in the FY 2011/12 budget to support this program in the
amount of $1 ,300 for each Director over the next fiscal year. This includes $1 ,000 toward the
purchase of an electronic device of their choice and $300 per year towards the data service of their
choice. Under the proposed program, staff anticipates a net savings of approximately $1 ,000 in
operational expenses due to reduced staff time, paper, toner and gasoline over the two-year life
expectancy of these devices.
Of note in the attached Tablet PC Reimbursement Policy is that the purchase and reimbursement of
a Tablet PC is voluntary. For those Directors that do choose to participate, the cost reimbursed by
the District is fully taxable.

Subject: Draft Administration Department Budget
DISCUSSION:
The Administration Department has decreased its Supplies and Services budget by 9% down to
$725,665. The most significant cuts this year were made in the areas of contractual services
(including the removal of the AWWA QualServe Peer Review), office expense and communications
(including projects that will be completed in FY 11/12 and will not need to be budgeted in FY 12/13).
69% of the Administration Department's budget relates to the Administration Section, with District
legal fees, including legal fees relating to the Freeway Complex Fire and the OCWD Annexation
process amounting to 81% of that section's budget. In the Public Affairs Section, communicating
with the public about on-going District activities, including water conservation, account for over 82%
of the budget.
