ITEM NO. 2.1 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: April 16, 2012 Budgeted: Yes Total Budget: $6,500 To: Executive-Administrative- Cost Estimate: $6,500 Organizational Committee Funding Source: Operating Funds From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Account No: 1-1010-0580-00 Manager (0600-00) Presented By: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Dept: Board of Directors Manager Reviewed by Legal: Yes Prepared By: Cindy Botts, Management CEQA Compliance: N/A Analyst Subject: Board Communications Reimbursement Policy SUMMARY: At the direction of the Committee, staff has developed a draft policy and resolution for the acquisition of communication devices for Directors to view or print digital District Board agenda packets and other District documents, eliminating the need for Staff to copy and mail paper agenda packets weekly. A copy of the draft policy and Resolution is attached. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee review and consider the draft policy and Resolution 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 draft a communications reimbursement policy whereby individual Board members select and purchase a device of their choosing and take responsibility for its maintenance and operations, in lieu of Staff printing and delivering District agenda packets. 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 Communications Reimbursement Policy is that the purchase and reimbursement of a Tablet PC, laptop, printers, etc. is voluntary. For those Directors that do choose to participate, the cost reimbursed by the District is fully taxable.

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 work with the District on an encroachment permit for the placement of new 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 Public Affairs, Communication & Technology Committee reviewed this item on April 9, 2012 and opted to refer further review to the Executive-Administrative-Organizational Committee. 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.

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. Mark L. Stowell, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer City of Yorba Linda Public Works Department 4845 Casa Loma Avenue P.O.

The move from a 9/80 to a 4/10 work schedule was approved on a trial period (January- June 2012), with the assumption that the level of service to our customers must remain high, while additional operating costs to the District remain level or only slightly increased. DISCUSSION: Staff compared data from previous years to the current year, on a monthly basis, over several operational cost and service level categories. For the month of January, electric, overtime and sick leave costs were down, with large increases in the number of fire hydrants serviced and valves turned. Due to this extra productivity, the cost of fuel was increased. The increase in the amount of diesel fuel was found to be an aberration. For the month of February, overtime and sick leave costs were essentially level, with a slight increase in electric costs. Productivity in hydrant servicing and valve turning remained high, which also contributed to a slight increase in fuel. The aberration in diesel fuel usage did not repeat for the month of February. Overall, staff morale and productivity remains higher with the fixed 4/10 schedule. Managers are continuing to work with their staff on addressing any concerns that may arise or adjustments that need to be made in relation to the new schedule.
