Prepared By: Art Vega, Acting IT Manager
Subject: Second Draft of IT Department Budget
DISCUSSION:
The Information Technology Department has decreased its Supplies and Services budget for Fiscal
Year 2012-2013 by 1 .9% down to $463,677. The most significant cuts this year were made in the
areas of contractual services, maintenance, and non-capital equipment. This revised draft budget
has been increased by $22,900 due to the Information Systems section increasing its budget in the
following budget categories: Data Processing by $6,200 for software licenses and hardware
subscription renewals; Professional Services by $15,000 to include district wide GP training; and
Travel and Conferences by $1 ,700 for the WinConnections 2013 Conference.
56% of the IT Department's budget relates to Information Systems, with warranties and service
contracts, cell phone and broadband service, communication lines, software purchases and license
renewals, hardware subscription renewals, desktops and notebooks, printer supplies, and
consulting services amounting to 88% of that section's budget. In the GIS section, software license
renewal accounts for over 92% of the budget. Lastly, in the SCADA Section, listed items such as
warranties and service contracts, communication lines, software license renewals, meters and
sensors, general electrical maintenance, PLC software and hardware, radio repairs and servicing,
UPS and back-up power systems, software consulting, and electrical upgrade costs to name a few
account for over 86% of the budget.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
FR 1-13: Prepare a High Level Annual Budget Document and Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report and Compete for Recognition by the Government Finance Officers Association

Subject: Computerized Maintenance and Management System Project Status
SUMMARY:
On July 22, 2010, the Board authorized the General Manager to execute a Professional Services
Agreement with Westin Engineering, in the amount of $248,626, to provide Computerized
Maintenance & Management System (CMMS) software and implementation services. The software
proposed by Westin Engineering was Azteca's CityWorks software solution.
On October 27, 2011 , the Board authorized the General Manager to execute Task Release No. 2
amending the PSA between Westin, in the amount not to exceed $28,000 to provide for additional
support services on an on-call as-needed basis
DISCUSSION:
District IT staff assessed the status, schedule and expenditures to date with regard to the Westin
Engineering agreement. The District has paid Westin Engineering $247,687.44 (99.5%) of the $
248,626.00 professional services contract to date for development, installation and initial training on
the Cityworks CMMS software system.
District IT staff assessed the status of expenditures to date with regard to Task Release No. 2. The
district has paid Westin Engineering $0.00 (0%) of the $38,000 for support services.
On-going discussions have been held with operations staff regarding the valve crew work orders.
Staff is working on getting the valve crew on the CMMS system and completing the work orders for
hydrant flushing.
The second and final notebook for the valve crew has arrived.
A quote for the vehicle mounts has been received which includes a power module. The power
module protects the vehicle's battery from being drained by the laptop and protects the laptop from
power fluctuations. District mechanics and IT staff recommend purchasing the power modules with
the vehicle mounts to protect our equipment and vehicles.
Attached for the Committee to review is an updated projected cost estimate for the CMMS project.

Subject: Future Use of Water Conservation Community Signage
SUMMARY:
The community information signs that the District instituted in 2009, in conjunction with the Water
Conservation Ordinance, were updated in January 2012 with a message relating to the economical
cost of YLWD water. Since then, the City of Yorba Linda has requested that the signs be removed,
as they are in violation of the City's sign ordinance. Additionally, both the City of Yorba Linda and
the District have received several customer complaints about the appropriateness of the current
messaging.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Yorba Linda is officially requesting that the District remove the community information
signs from City property because the original purpose of the signs, which was to communicate to
the public the necessity of water conservation during a time of mandatory water allocations, is no
longer applicable. Should the District be forced to again communicate mandatory water allocations
to the community, the City will be willing to work with the District on an encroachment permit for the
placement of the signs at that time.
Additionally, comments from the public have been received by both the City of Yorba Linda and the
District regarding confusion about the current messaging. The confusion centers around the
interpretation of the signs as "water is cheap, so don't bother to use it wisely." Several of the people
who raised a concern are proud of the emphasis the District has placed on water use efficiency and
are afraid the District is altering course on that emphasis.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
CP 1-E: Effectively Use Broad Spectrum Communication Opportunities
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors approved the use of permanent community information signs, in conjunction
with the Ordinance 09-01 Instituting Water Conservation Measures, in 2009.

Ken,
Per our discussion last week, we are requesting that the temporary signs, originally placed to inform the
public of the mandatory water restrictions, be removed. It is our understanding that the mandatory
restrictions have been lifted and the original signs are no longer necessary. The current signs, although
the message is important, must be removed as they are in violation of the City's sign ordinance.
This past winter provided minimal precipitation,which may result in water restrictions later this year. If
the water restriction signs must be placed again to notify the residents, we will gladly work with you to
obtain an encroachment permit for their placement.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
