Report by General Manager and Finance Manager Mr. Parker provided a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the draft budget for FY 2012/13, projects included in the proposed Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2012/18, the District's current bond ratings, and rationale for the proposed water rate increase and restructuring of the fixed charge rate. This also included a comparison of the District's proposed water rates and meter types with those from other local agencies. D. Public Testimony Daniel Chaney, resident, addressed the Board and read aloud a prepared statement in opposition to the proposed water rate increase. Mr. Chaney commented on the following topics: the District's message regarding the proposed rate increase which was included on customer's bills; the number of written protests from affected property owners required to overturn the proposed rate increase; projected revenue figures contained in the District's 2012 Water Rate Study and budget for FY 2011/12; the restructuring of the fixed charge rate in proportion to meter size; the rationale for increasing the water rate contained in the 2012 Water Rate Study; and the District's projected operating expenses, employee salaries and benefits, variable water costs, and public outreach activities. Mr. Chaney concluded his comments by stating that he felt that the District should operate on a budget based on expected revenues verses desired expenses. Jim Brunette, resident, addressed the Board and read aloud a prepared statement in opposition to the proposed water rate increase. Mr. Brunette commented on the amount of water that could be purchased for one cent at the present time, following the proposed rate increase and in the past. Mr. Brunette then questioned the proportionality of the proposed meter capacity- based monthly service charges and the timing in which the District is collecting projected pass through costs. Mr. Brunette then stated that he would be preparing two initiatives. One to reduce the District's water rates and basic service charge by 10% and the other to impose term limits on Directors. Mr. Brunette concluded his comments by asking the Board to forgo the rate increase and reduce District expenses. Bill Guse, resident, addressed the Board and read aloud a prepared statement. Mr. Guse stated that he had been serving on the District's Citizens Advisory Committee for over 3 years and had received an extensive education regarding YLWD's operations and distribution system. Mr. Guse clarified that he was not speaking for the Committee but as a resident of the District and expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the Board and management. Mr. Guse then commented on the increasing cost of purchasing import water due to issues related to the Sacramento Delta and the Colorado River. Mr. Guse concluded his comments by stating that 2 he was in favor of the proposed rate increase and encouraged those in attendance to continue their conservation efforts. Dennis Anderson, resident, addressed the Board and asked if there were any subsidized rates planned in the proposed rate structure and how are they were going to be paid. Mr. Parker responded to Mr. Anderson's question and stated that there were no subsidies included in the proposed rate structure with the exception of the meter capacity-based service charges. Mr. Parker further stated that the commodity rate is flat and would continue to remain as such. Mr. Vecchiarelli also responded to Mr. Anderson's question and reiterated that there were no subsidies. Ron Vanderberg addressed the Board and introduced himself as treasurer for the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church. Mr. Vanderberg commented on the recession and its impact on religious institutions. He further explained that the proposed change to a meter capacity-based service charge would increase his church's water bill $500 a year. Mr. Vanderberg concluded his comments by asking the Board to consider the effect this change would have on other churches and businesses. Director Beverage asked Mr. Vanderberg what size meter the church currently had. Mr. Vanderberg responded that it was a 2" meter. Director Beverage requested staff to meet with Mr. Vanderberg to consider the possibility of replacing the church's current meter with a smaller one. E. President Closes Public Hearing President Hawkins closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m. Discussion President Hawkins then invited each of the Directors to provide comments. Director Beverage explained that he had requested staff to create a spreadsheet that would demonstrate the effect of the proposed rate increase and restructuring on his most recent water bill. The spreadsheet was displayed on the overhead screen and Mr. Vecchiarelli and Mr. Parker provided an overview of Director Beverage's projected charges for the month of June over the next 3 years should the proposed rate increase be approved. The Board and staff then responded to questions from the audience regarding the results of the demonstration, District efforts to lower expenses, and projects included in the Capital Improvement Plan. Director Melton requested staff to explain the complexities of pumping water through the District's distribution system including associated energy costs. Mr. Vecchiarelli extended an invitation for anyone interested in this topic to attend the next YLWD Citizens Advisory Committee meeting where the Production Division would 3 be providing a presentation regarding the District's distribution system. Mr. Vecchiarelli then provided an overview of the District's water sources, resources required to pump water to various pressure zones, and staff efforts to reduce related expenses while maintaining quality of service. Another resident (name unknown) addressed the Board and stated that while she was happy with the improvements the District was making on the water distribution system, she was concerned that the proposed water rate increase would be subsidizing improvements on the sewer collection system. Mr. Vecchiarelli explained that the proposed water rate increase did not include any subsidies for the sewer system. An extended discussion followed between the Board, staff, and members of the audience regarding the District's budget and projected revenues/expenses over the next 5 years. Mr. Parker also briefly demonstrated the District's financial model. Modesto Llanos, resident, commented on his experience serving on the District's Citizens Advisory Committee and his interest in the Capital Improvement Plan. Director Beverage then commented on the District's reserve policy. Mr. Chaney expressed his concern regarding the previous and proposed water rate increases. Director Beverage provided additional remarks regarding the history behind the preceding water rate increase, severe drought, and subsequent mandated conservation. Another resident (name unknown) addressed the Board and expressed her concern regarding the reliability and quality of Southern California's import water sources including the California Aqueduct and the Colorado River.

Miraloma Avenue Placentia, Ca 92870 Attention: Mr. Derek Nguyen, M.S.,P.E. Subject: REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME PRESSURE REGULATING STATIONS UPGRADE PROJECT- CONTRACT#J2011-08 Dear Mr. Nguyen: Please consider this our firm's request for a 27 calendar day time extension on the above subject project. Of the 27 calendar days, we are respectfully requesting that 14 of those days be allocated to the Van Buren station which would change the completion date from July 27 to August 10, 2012. The majority of the days requested are due to an inability to receive the Van Buren vault base and mid- section before July 20, 2012, as depicted in our revised schedule dated June 28, 2012. The vault has been ordered today and our supplier has expedited his lead time to 3 weeks. Our firm has worked diligently on the vault submittals, starting the process even before the June 12, 2012 Notice to Proceed date, but we have encountered delays in ordering the vault due to unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of our firm.After field verifying dimensions and grades at the Van Buren station, our firm issued RFI#1 which outlined the issues that were discovered and eventually lead to design changes. We are scheduled to mobilize the Van Buren site on Monday July 9.This date is 27 calendar days after the Notice to Proceed was issued. Our firm is hopeful that this request will be granted and if you should need any further information, please contact me at(626)926-2216.

Staff issued a RFP to six firms and received four consultant proposals. Following an evaluation by the District's review team, staff recommends award to Carollo Engineers, Inc. (Carollo) for a fee not to exceed $102,883. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize execution of a Professional Services Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. in the amount of $102,883 to provide professional services to update, calibrate, and analyze the District's water system hydraulic model and to prepare a Northeast Area Planning Study. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee discussed this item at its July 5, 2012 meeting. DISCUSSION: As recently reported to the Board, two potential residential development projects in the undeveloped areas of Improvement District 1 may be moving forward through County Planning. Recent discussions with project representatives have centered around insuring that these potential projects work closely together to insure a master planned water system infrastructure that integrates with the District's existing systems through its multiple zones, reservoirs, and booster pump stations. In order to appropriately evaluate the issues and options concerning water service for these developments, it was recommended that hydraulic modeling be performed. That is, to prepare a planning study based on computer-based hydraulic modeling to determine the various alternative means to service the potential new residential developments as well as to meet the ultimate needs and goals of the District for this portion of the water service area. Included would be water quality modeling. Following Board authorization, staff prepared a RFP to provide engineering services and sent it to six firms experienced with this type work. Four proposals were received (one from two firms submitting a joint proposal). The District's Review Team evaluated and ranked the proposals based on experience, technical merit, content and understanding of the project. Following the technical evaluation and ranking, separate fee envelopes for each proposal were opened. Results of the ranking and fees are as follows: Firm Evaluation Score Proposed Fee Staff Hours MWH 27.24 $ 124,820.00 756 PSO/IDM 26.80 $ 114,710.00 800 Carollo 27.43 $ 102,883.00 622 AKM 26.52 $ 124,865.00 716 The proposal with the highest scoring technical evaluation was that by Carollo, based on the criteria noted above. Carollo has completed other recent projects for the District, including reservoir design projects as well as the 2005 Water System Master Plan. All of these projects were completed professionally and to the satisfaction of District staff. Staff reviewed the proposed fee and staff hours for the project and spoke with Carollo's Sr. Vice President, Gary Meyerhofer, who confirmed that they'll complete all work described in the proposal for a fee of $102,883. Based on the above, the Engineering Review Team recommends award to Carollo. This firm had the best proposal, best project team and experience, and proposed fee and staff hours which were reasonable and appropriate based on the scope of work. STRATEGIC PLAN: SR 3-A: Complete Implementation of Five Year Capital Improvement Plan from FY 2011-2015 with adopted amendments Approved by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District 7/12/2012 MB/RC 5-0 (This item was removed from the Consent Calendar at the request of MB for separate action.) ITEM NO. 9.1 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 Budgeted: Yes Total Budget: $152,000 To: Board of Directors Cost Estimate: $148,000 Funding Source: Water Capital Reserves From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Presented By: Lee Cory, Operations Manager Dept: Operations Reviewed by Legal: No Prepared By: Lee Cory, Operations Manager Subject: Purchase of a 2012 (8-10 Yard) Dump Truck SUMMARY: It is the District's policy to submit all vehicle and major equipment purchases to the Board of Directors for approval. The District's purchasing policy dictates that competitive bids should be solicited for procurement of vehicles and equipment greater than $75,000. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to execute a Purchase Agreement with Inland Kenworth (Montebello) for a Kenworth dump truck, with a Scelzi/Paramount dump body, in the amount of $147,639.29. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee reviewed this matter at their meeting on July 5, 2012 and supports staff's recommendation. DISCUSSION: The adopted FY 2012-13 Budget identifies capital outlay for the purchase of an 8-10 yard dump truck. Staff developed a set of specifications for the subject vehicle. The specifications are intended to acquire a vehicle capable of safely towing a trailered backhoe, and to provide dump body tasks while minimizing overweight hauling. Additionally, the truck must be durable enough to provide a long service life with a minimum of parts inventory. Kenworth Dump Trucks have the same cab and chassis as the District's newest Vactor Truck currently on order. The Kenworth Truck in our evaluation is a superior vehicle and has many more features that add to its ease of service and safety. Staff also reviewed the type of dump body offered on the Kenworth Trucks. Our recommendation includes a body type that the District already owns and uses on several other trucks and are of a proven quality. The District received five proposals: 1 . Inland Kenworth (Fontana) $151,895 2. Inland Kenworth (Montebello) $147,639.29 (Scelzi / Paramount body ) 3. Inland Kenworth (Montebello) $147,639.29 (P&B Loader Body) 4. LA Freightliner $135,121 + Tire documentation and license fees 5. LA Freightliner/Western Star $140,374 + Tire documentation and license fees The Freightliner trucks did not meet the written specification in several areas, which included types of motorized mirrors, air ride seats, rear suspension, and side peeper window. Approved by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District 7/12/2012 RC/RK 5-0 ITEM NO. 9.2 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 Budgeted: No Total Budget: N/A To: Planning-Engineering- Cost Estimate: $35,000 Operations Committee Funding Source: Water Capital Reserves From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Presented By: Staff Dept: Operations Reviewed by Legal: N/A Prepared By: John DeCriscio, Chief Plant CEQA Compliance: N/A Operator Subject: Replacement of Richfield Chlorine System Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) SUMMARY: The chlorine disinfection system operating in the Richfield Maintenance and Production Yard produces and doses sodium hypochlorite disinfectant for the groundwater pumped from the wells on site. This system was installed in 1998 and the computer components that runs the station can no longer be purchased. The District has communicated with the manufacturer of the chlorine generator system and determined the costs to replace these components and reprogram the new controls system. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors ratify the purchase and authorize the programming and installation of four new computerized controllers and necessary components needed to upgrade the chlorine generating system. The cost of the equipment is approximately $16,000 and the programming is estimated not to exceed $18,400. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee reviewed this item at their meeting on July 5, 2012 and support staff's recommendation. DISCUSSION: The chlorine generating system at the Richfield facility is the only source of chlorine disinfection for Wells # 1 , 5, 7, 10, 12, 18, & 19. This system was installed approximately 8 years ago. In November of 2011 the Production Division requested the manufacturer of the system come on site and evaluate the system's remaining useful life. Upon visiting the facility, the manufacture found our system to be in extremely good condition. However, they recommended changing the system's Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's), as these PLC's are no longer available for purchase. In the past six months we have had two of the four PLC's fail. These failures have left us with only one working chlorine generating system. Under the current demands we are able to produce enough disinfectant with the one unit. However, as water demands increase over the summer months the need for addition generating capacity will be required. Staff received two quotes for the new PLC's and their components as follows: Graybar Electric - $15,887.15 and Stevens Engineering - $16,117.91 , and proceeded with the purchase under the General Manager's authority. However, since these repairs were not anticipated in the approved budget, the funds will come out of the Water Operating Reserves and staff is seeking Board approval to ratify the purchase and approve the expenditure to program these controllers. Since the sodium hypochlorite generator is a proprietary system, the new PLC's will need to be programmed by the system manufacturer, Severn Trent Services, as they are the only authorized people to perform this work. Their original estimate was $18,400 for this portion of the work, based on an hourly rate and estimated time needed to program the new PLC's. However, YLWD SCADA staff recently completed preliminary work that may have cut down this estimate considerably and reduced the number of programming hours required. Staff suggests a not to exceed amount of $18,400 for the programming and will report back to the board with the final costs when the work is completed. Staff estimates the total expenditure will provide additional useful life to the sodium hypochlorite generator system, which is expected to serve the District another 5 to 10 years.

That being said, one item that both Dave and I have noticed is that the PLC's your systems are run by, Modicon are no longer available. If you were to need parts or software, they would not be available. With the systems in as good a condition as they are, we would hate to see the District spend money needlessly to replace everything f the PLC's were to shutdown. Instead, we would like to suggest that the District look at a PLC upgrade that would be done in the field to each of the 4 control panels. The District would choose and obtain the required hardware for each panel and Severn Trent Water Purification Inc. would provide the file conversion, software, cable, software upgrade and loading. Finally, we would perform the overall checkout of each system with the new PLC's and software installed. Again, we commend you on the condition of your equipment and the attention to detail your staff has shown. You can contact either Dave McWalters or me if you feel this is a viable project, thank you for your time. Regards, Bernard M.

ITEM NO. 9.3 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 Budgeted: Yes Total Budget: $275,297 To: Finance-Accounting Committee Cost Estimate: $275,297 Funding Source: Operating Funds From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Account No: 1-2010-0550-00 Manager Presented By: Stephen Parker, Finance Dept: Finance Manager Prepared By: Joann Gitmed, Accounting Assistant II Subject: OPEB Liability Pay Down STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize staff to deposit $275,297 to the California Employees' Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT) for FY 2012/13. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance-Accounting Committee discussed this item at its meeting held June 26, 2012 and supports staff's recommendation. DISCUSSION: The District's budgeted Annual Required Contribution (ARC) for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) for FY 12/13 is $175,297. With the adoption of the current Reserve Policy on June 14, 2012, the Board designated $100,000 to be set aside annually for the Employee Liability Reserve. For FY 12/13, staff proposes that the District pre-fund the California Employees Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT) with the ARC plus the current years' Employee Liability Reserve designation ($175,297 + $100,000, respectively). By pre-funding the CERBT, the District can submit for reimbursement for actual retiree costs for the periods of July 2012 through June 2013 (actuarially anticipated at $131,922), but take advantage of the CERBT's superior investment rate of return in the meantime (through March 31 , 2012, CERBT's investment rate was 9.5% on an annualized basis). Staff would submit the reimbursement requests at the end of FY 2012/13. The District's Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability (UAAL) for OPEB is approximately $1 ,172,000 as of June 30, 2012. By paying down the UAAL (which is charged 7.6% annually by actuarial assumptions) above and beyond the ARC, the District will effectively save $7,600 on future years' ARC payments. During the past fiscal year, the District's average yield has hovered around 1%. Funding the CERBT with Employee Liability Reserve money makes prudent financial sense and complies with the purpose that the reserve was established. STRATEGIC PLAN: FR 3-C: Manage Cash Flow to Maximize Investment Income PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S): On December 8, 2011 , the Board authorized staff to deposit $255,007 to the California Employees Retirement Benefit Trust for FY 11/12, to pay down a portion of the District's Other Post Employment Benefits liability. On June 14, 2012 the Board approved Resolution No. 12-12 adopting a financial reserves policy that included an annual funding of $100,000 for an Employees Liability Reserve. ApN uvcu uy the boa,u ui uii ectors Oi uro Yorba Linda Water District 7/12/2012 GM/RC 5-0 ITEM NO. 9.4 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 To: Board of Directors Cost Estimate: $835,099 Funding Source: Operating Funds From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Presented By: Stephen Parker, Finance Dept: Finance Manager Prepared By: Stephen Parker, Finance Manager Subject: Payoff of PERS Side Fund SUMMARY: The District has the ability to use reserves to pay down a liability with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) that currently incurs an annual expense of 7.75%. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to use operating reserves in the amount of $835,099 to pay off the CalPERS Side Fund in July 2012. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance-Accounting Committee discussed this item at its meeting held June 26, 2012 and supports staff's recommendation. DISCUSSION: The District contracts with PERS for retirement benefits. On June 30, 2005 the District was placed into an agency multiple employer pool by PERS as the District had less than 100 employees. In the process, any agency that was underfunded or overfunded had a side fund created. This side fund was kept separate from the pool and amortized over 20 years. The amount the District owes on its side fund as of June 30, 2012 is $836,784, and our current actuarially determined annual payment is $80,671 . That annual payment is scheduled to be paid over the next 14 years (and is subject to decrease or increase based on gains or losses by investments of CalPERS or decreases or increases in payroll). The District is assessed an assumed 7.75% interest charge on the amount owed annually (changing to 7.5% beginning in FY 13/14). At the same time, the District is receiving a yield of less than 1% on its reserve funds. If the District were to use Operating Reserves ($4.15 million as of May 2012) to pay down the side fund, two things would happen. First, the District would yield an effective 7.5% return. Secondly, the District's Employer Contribution Rate would drop from 11 .668 to 10.238% for the upcoming fiscal year, and future contributions would be lower by 1 .43% of salaries for the remaining 13 years that the side fund payment would have been made. Furthermore, as salaries increase in the future, the 1 .43% of salaries paid for the amortization of the side fund would also grow. If the Board approves staff's recommendation, operating expenses will decrease by $80,671 for the upcoming fiscal year and continue over the next 13 fiscal years. This reduction in expenses should generate increases in the reserve fund over this same period. STRATEGIC PLAN: FR 3-C: Manage Cash Flow to Maximize Investment Income By using reserve balances to pay off a liability incurring an annual expense of 7.75% (and 7.5% after the upcoming fiscal year), the District will effectively earn 7.75% on an investment of $835,099 for FY 12/13. This reduction of current and future years' expenses is much more significant than any interest income available through an investment that conforms with the California Government Code. Approved by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District 7/12/2012 MB/RK 5-0 ITEM NO. 9.5 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 To: Finance-Accounting Committee From: Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Presented By: Stephen Parker, Finance Dept: Finance Manager Reviewed by Legal: Yes Prepared By: Stephen Parker, Finance Manager Subject: Authorization to Invest with Bank of the West STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to approve a contract to invest $2,000,000 in a money market account with Bank of the West and authorize the General Manager, Finance Manager and Senior Accountant to act on behalf of the District as it relates to that money market account. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Finance-Accounting Committee discussed this item at its meeting held June 26, 2012 and supports staff recommendation. DISCUSSION: Bank of the West has offered the District a guaranteed return of 35 basis points for investments in their money market deposit account. This investment would allow same-day access to cash, a 0.35% yield, with fees of $60 for online access and three withdrawals per month. The savings account is collateralized 110% by US Government securities. Staff is proposing to move $2,000,000 from the District's current investment in Local Agency Investment Fund (0.36% yield as of May 31) to this savings account. The District's investment policy currently requires Board approval for investments greater than $1 ,000,000 in one institution. STRATEGIC PLAN: FR 3-C: Manage Cash Flow to Maximize Investment Income PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S): The Board of Directors approved the current investment policy with Resolution No. 11-24 on December 22, 2011. Approved by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District 7/12/2012 RC/GM 5-0 ITEM NO. 11.2 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: July 12, 2012 Subject: Finance-Accounting Committee (Kiley/Hawkins) Minutes of meeting held June 26, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. Meeting scheduled July 23, 2012 at 4:00 p.m. ATTACHMENTS: Name: Description: Type: 062612 FA - Minutes.doc FA Mtg Minutes 06/26/12 Minutes MINUTES OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT FINANCE-ACCOUNTING COMMITTEE MEETING June 26, 2012 A meeting of the Finance-Accounting Committee was called to order by Director Kiley at 4:04 p.m. The meeting was held at the District's Administrative Office at 1717 E. Miraloma Ave, Placentia CA 92870. COMMITTEE STAFF Director Robert R. Kiley, Chair Ken Vecchiarelli, General Manager Director Phil Hawkins Stephen Parker, Finance Manager 1. PUBLIC COMMENTS None. 2. ACTION CALENDAR Mr. Parker explained that while researching information relating to item 2.3, and subsequent to the agenda being posted, staff was made aware of an opportunity. The opportunity related to financial arrangements with CalPERS just as item 2.3 does, and by taking immediate action, the District could save money. As such, Mr. Parker requested to add an additional item — 2.4 Payoff of CalPERS Side Fund. Directors Kiley and Hawkins approved adding the item to the agenda. 2.1. Authorization to Invest with Bank of the West Mr. Parker discussed an opportunity the District was offered to invest in a money market account with Bank of the West. Mr. Parker explained that the guaranteed return of 35 basis points (0.35% yield) was similar to the current LAIF return of 0.36%, and this investment was collateralized 110% by US Government securities. Mr. Parker added that staff proposing to transfer $2 million from the District's LAIF investment to the money market account, but that the District's investment policy calls for Board approval for investments greater than $1 million in one institution. The Committee asked a few questions about the investment and supported staff's recommendation. 2.2. OPEB Liability Pay Down Mr. Parker presented an action item to the Committee to deposit the budgeted Annual Required Contribution plus $100,000 from the Employee Liability Reserve with the District's Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) trust with CalPERS - the California Employees' Retirement Benefit Trust (CERBT). Mr. Parker explained that this was the third year that this action was recommended by staff, but this year staff would make the deposit at the beginning of the year, and draw down retiree costs at 1 the end of the fiscal year, which would allow the District to earn the CERBT's superior investment rate of return in the meantime. The Committee asked what the rate of return for FY 11/12 was, and Mr. Parker said that as the year had not ended, he was not aware. He indicated he was sure that it was higher than the District's current investment rate yield of 0.82%. The Committee asked that the current year's investment rate be added to the action item that will go to the Board, and supported staff recommendation. 2.3. Prepayment of PERS Employer Contribution Mr. Parker clarified that while obtaining additional information related to this action item, it was determined that pre-paying the PERS employer contribution for FY 12/13 would not result in a savings for the District, and as a result he requested that the action item be pulled. The Committee agreed. 2.4. Payoff of CalPERS Side Fund Mr. Parker explained that while discussing a potential prepayment of PERS employer contribution with the District's PERS actuary, the actuary informed Mr. Parker of a practice that many agencies were taking advantage of as a result of the current investment yields available. The PERS Side Fund is assessed an assumed 7.75% interest charge on the amount owed annually. Mr. Parker explained that the District owes $836,784 as of June 30, 2012 on the side fund, and that this liability is kept separate by PERS from the remainder of what is paid to PERS annually as a part of a pool. If the District were to use their operating reserves to pay down the side fund, the District would yield an effective 7.75% return on the reserves and the District's Employer Contribution Rate would drop from 11.668% to 10.238% for the upcoming fiscal year, and operating expenses would decrease by $80,000 or more every fiscal year for the next 14 years. The Committee asked questions about the impacts on the District's future reserve levels if this cash outlay were approved now. Mr. Vecchiarelli indicated that he was not concerned about future cash levels as a result of taking advantage of this opportunity now. Mr. Parker agreed, adding that Capital Improvement Projects can be adjusted to accommodate our current financial situation, which will be re-evaluated every year and with any significant events. The Committee supported staff recommendation. 2 3. DISCUSSION ITEMS 3.1. May 2012 Budget to Actual Results Mr. Parker presented the May Budget to Actual results. He pointed out that updated information from the 2010 census resulted in some changed figures in calculating the District's baseline and current gallons per capita per day calculation. Mr. Parker explained that MWDOC contracted with CSU Fullerton to estimate the population for the last decade, and that the reduction in population in the District's service area resulted in a higher consumption calculation that was provided to the Committee monthly. Mr. Parker went on to explain that other than the change in numbers of our 20 by 2020 goal, there were no major changes to the budget to actual results from the previous month. Director Kiley requested that as a future task Communications expense information broken out by line item or section be made available. The Committee commented on certain supplies and services expenses being well below budget, but did not have other questions for staff. 3.2. Investment Report for Period Ending May 31, 2012 Mr. Parker highlighted that a decrease in the CalTRUST medium term fund was the main driver for a decrease in total yield to 0.82%.Mr. Parker also explained that the Maintenance Reserve fund (established in the current year's Reserves Policy) was shown by itself for the first time. Previously it had been lumped into the Water Capital Fund. Mr. Parker also discussed changes in reserve balances. The Committee had no questions. 3.3. Status of Strategic Plan Initiatives Mr. Parker updated the Committee with changes in the status of Fiscal Responsibility strategic plan initiatives. The most significant changes related to the budget that was presented in draft version to the Board on the June 14 Board meeting and the public hearing for rate change and increase schedule for June 21, 2012. 3.4. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks The Committee asked that the current year's CERBT investment rate be included in the action item that will go to the Board on July 12. Director Kiley requested that as a future task Communications expense information broken out by line item or section be made available. 4. ADJOURNMENT 4.1.
