Applicability: District Wide
POLICY: ELECTIVE WATER METER RESIZING POLICY
1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to define guidelines and procedures for elective water

2.0 SCOPE
Yorba Linda Water District (District) is implementing an Elective Water Meter
Resizing Policy to address customer requests to alter their meter size.
3.0 PROCEDURES
A. All requests will be forwarded to the District's Customer Service Department.
A request form will be completed by the Property Owner making the request.
Upon approval, the Property Owner will be notified of the approval and the
anticipated date of commencement of work by the District.
B. For requests to be considered, the following criteria must be met:
1. A request must be made by submitting a completed Elective Water
Meter Resize Request Form to YLWD. The form is available on YLWD's
website at http://www.ylwd.com. A copy may also be picked up at
Yorba Linda Water District, 1717 E. Miraloma Avenue, Placentia, CA
92885, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday thru

2. Only the Property Owner on file can submit a request. In cases where
the Account Holder is not the Property Owner, the Property Owner must
indicate their approval of the request on the Elective Water Meter Resize
Request Form.
3. The submitted Request Form must include a Professional Engineer's
(P.E.) Opinion on the validity of the requested meter resize. This Opinion
must take the form of a letter stating that the requested meter size is
able to meet the gallons per minute (gpm) flow rate demand of the
property in question. Calculations utilizing the American Water Works
Association (AWWA) Standard C-700 form for Meter Capacities,
Page 1
Elective Water Meter Resizing Policy 2012
incorporating irrigation for the property, must also be included in the
Professional Engineer's Opinion.
4. The submitted Request for Elective Water Meter Resize form must also
include a signed Terms & Conditions: Elective Water Meter Resizing.
The Waiver indicates that altering the size of a water meter may have
unintended consequences, including, but not limited to, changes in water
pressure and flow, which may require pressurization devices at
additional costs; reduction in the performance of appliances and
landscape equipment, and changes in the accuracy of the measurement
of flow. The District is in no way liable for any consequences resulting
from the change in meter size. The Terms & Conditions must be signed
by the Property Owner. In cases where the Account Holder is not the
Property Owner, the Property Owner must indicate their consent on the
Terms & Conditions.
5. Upon approval of the request, YLWD will contact the Property Owner to
schedule the commencement of the meter replacement. Scheduled
dates are approximate and may be altered based on the needs of the
District. Should the replacement need to be rescheduled, the District will
contact the Property Owner as soon as possible to reschedule.
6. Fees for the replacement of the meter are pursuant to the Customer
Service and Developer Fees schedule and shall be paid in full prior to
the commencement of any work by the District.
7. Any and all fees associated with obtaining a Professional Engineer's
Opinion are the sole responsibility of the property owner.
8. In the event that the Property Owner elects to alter the meter back to
that of the original size, the same process must be adhered to, including
submission of a Request for Elective Water Meter Resize form, along
with a Professional Engineer's Opinion on the appropriateness of the
requested size based on AWWA gpm flow rates, the Terms &
Conditions: Elective Water Meter Resizing and any and all fees
associated with the completion of the meter installation.
C. The following are exceptions to the previous procedures:
1. Properties with fire sprinklers that do not have a dedicated fire meter
will not be allowed to downsize, regardless of the normal operating
AWWA gpm flow rates.
2. Properties will not be allowed to alter the size of the meter more than
one size (i.e. 1 '/2" meter can downsize to 1", but not to

establish policies to coordinate the collection, evaluation, and sharing of scientific data related to
coastal and ocean resources among agencies, and to identify and recommend to the Legislature
changes in law needed to achieve these goals.
This bill would require the council to report to the Legislature, by December 31, 2014, on
opportunities for streamlining the current statewide permitting processes for seawater
desalination facilities, including an evaluation of impediments to desalination projects relative to
the current permitting process and to recommend potential administrative and legislative actions
for improving the permitting process while maintaining current regulatory protections. This bill

(1) The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make their records
available for public inspection and, upon request of a person, to provide a copy of a public record
unless the record is exempt from disclosure. The act requires an agency that has information that
constitutes an identifiable public record not otherwise exempt from disclosure that is in an
electronic format to make that information available in an electronic format when requested by a
person. The act requires the agency to make the information available in an electronic format in
which it holds the information.
This bill would authorize an agency,upon request, to provide a copy of an electronic record in a
format in which the text in the electronic record is searchable by commonly used software. This
bill would require the requester to bear the cost of converting the electronic record into a
searchable format.
(2) Existing law requires certain state and local agencies to make specified data or documents
available to the public by various methods, including on the Internet.
This bill would require that in certain circumstances the data or document be made available to
the public in an open format, as defined. The requirement would not apply if the state or local
agency does not maintain the data or document in an open format.

Legislative Report June 18, 2012
D.2 SB 1003 (Yee) Local Government: open meetings.
Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act (Brown Act),requires each legislative body of a local
agency to provide the time and place for holding regular meetings and requires that all meetings
of a legislative body be open and public and all persons be permitted to attend unless a closed
session is authorized. Existing law authorizes the district attorney or any interested person to file
an action by mandamus, injunction, or declaratory relief to, among other things, determine the
applicability of the Brown Act to actions or threatened future action of the legislative body.
This bill would prohibit an interested person from filing an action for an alleged violation of the
Brown Act, or as specified, unless certain conditions are met, including, but not limited to, a
requirement that the interested person submit a letter to the legislative body being accused of the
violation setting forth the alleged violation. This right of action would not apply to past actions
of a legislative body that occurring before January 1, 2013 and would limit filings for past
actions to one year.

The Governor's pension reform legislation appears in AB 2224, ACA 22, SB 1176 and SCA 18.
AB 2224 and SB 1176 are identical bills. ACA 22 and SCA 18 would be placed on the ballot to
hardwire the reforms into the California Constitution. AB 2224 is discussed below.
EA All 2224 (Smyth) Public employees' retirement.
(1) Existing law permits members of Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) and the
State Teachers' Retirement System (STRS), and county, city, and district retirement systems that
4
Kidman Law LLP
Legislative Report June 18, 2012
have adopted specified provisions,to purchase up to 5 years of additional retirement service
credit by making specified contributions to the system. Existing law authorizes retirement
benefits to be increased.
This bill, on and after January 1, 2013, would prohibit a public retirement system from allowing
the purchase of additional retirement service credit, as described above. It would except from
this prohibition an official application to purchase this type of service credit received by the
retirement system prior to January 1, 2013. This bill would prohibit any member who does not
have at least 5 years of service credit before the operative date of this bill, or any person hired on
or after that date, from purchasing additional retirement service credit.
This bill would provide that any enhancement to a public retirement system's retirement formula
or benefit that is adopted on or after January 1, 2013, would apply only to service performed on
or after the operative date of the enhancement, except under specified circumstances. It would
also provide that, if a change to a member's classification or employment results in an increase
in the retirement formula or benefit applicable to that member, the increase would apply only to
service performed on or after the operative date of the change.
This bill would require a public employer to offer to its employees first hired on or after July 1,
2013, a hybrid pension plan or alternative pension plan option, as specified. It would require that
each hybrid pension plan be designed with the goal of providing at normal retirement age, based
upon a full career in public service of 30 years for safety employees and 35 years for all other
public employees, replacement income of 75% of a public employee's final compensation.
(2) This bill would require that a public employee, as defined, who is convicted of any state or
federal felony for conduct arising out of, or in the performance of, his or her official duties in
pursuit of the office or appointment, or in connection with obtaining salary, disability retirement,
or service retirement, or other benefits, forfeit retirement benefits earned or accrued from the
earliest date of the commission of the felony to the forfeiture date, as specified. This bill would
also require any contributions to the public retirement system made by the public employee on or
after the earliest date of commission of the felony to be returned, without interest,to the public
employee upon the occurrence of a distribution event, as defined, unless otherwise ordered by a
court or determined by the pension administrator.
(3) This bill, for the purposes of determining a retirement benefit paid to a person who first
becomes a member of a public retirement system on or after January 1, 2013, would require that
final compensation be calculated by multiplying the member's years of service credit by a
percentage of the member's final compensation based on age at retirement using the member's
payrate during a period of at least 36 consecutive months, as specified.
(4) This bill would require public employees who contribute to a defined benefit plan or
component to contribute at least 112 of the annual actuarially determined normal costs, and
would prohibit a public employer from contributing in any fiscal year, in combination with
employer contributions, less than the plan normal cost. It would also prohibit an employer from
paying the member's share of the employee contribution, except as specified.
5
Kidman Law LLP
Legislative Report June 18, 2012
(5) This bill would prohibit a person who retires from a public employer from serving without
reinstatement, except during an emergency to prevent stoppage of public business or because the
retired employee has skills needed to perform work of limited duration, as specified.
(6) This bill would revise the composition of the Board of Administration of PERS (Board).
This bill would eliminate the position of the member of the State Personnel Board and would
replace that position with the Director of Finance. This bill would add to the Board 2 persons,
appointed at the pleasure of the Governor, who represent the public, have financial expertise, and
are not interested in the system, as specified. This bill would also replace the official of a life
insurer,whom the Governor is currently authorized to appoint, with a gubernatorial appointee
who has expertise in health insurance and is not interested in the system.
(7) The Public Employee's Medical and Hospital Care Act(PEMHCA)requires the employer
contribution, with respect to each employee or annuitant who is in employment or retired from
state service, to be adjusted by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act, as specified. Those
adjustments are required to be based on the principle that the employer contribution for each
employee or annuitant shall be an amount equal to 100%of the weighted average of the health
benefit plan premiums for an employee or annuitant enrolled for self-alone, during the benefit
year to which the formula is applied, for the 4 health benefit plans that had the largest state
enrollment, excluding:family members, during the previous year. For each employee or
annuitant with enrolled family members, the employer is required to contribute an additional
90% of the weighted average of the additional premiums required for enrollment of those family
members, during the benefit year to which the formula is applied, in the 4 health benefit plans
that had the largest state enrollment, excluding family members, during the previous year.
This bill, for employees first hired on or after January 1, 2013, would limit the employer
contribution amount to no greater than the lowest premium formula paid for a current employee
enrolled for self-alone health benefit coverage year during the benefit year to which the formula
is applied multiplied by the weighted average of the health benefit plan premiums, as specified.
It would further require an employer, for each enrolled family member of a retired employee, to
contribute an additional percentage that is no higher than the lowest premium formula paid for
enrolled family members multiplied by the weighted average of the additional health benefit plan
premiums required for enrollment of those family members.
(8) Under PEMHCA, a state employee is required to have a certain number of years of state
service, depending on hiring date and other factors, before he or she may receive any portion of
the employer contribution payable for annuitants for postretirement health benefits.
This bill would prohibit a state employee who becomes a state member of the system on or after
January 1, 2013, from receiving any portion of the employer contribution payable for annuitants
unless the person is credited with 15 years of state service at the time of retirement. It would
further specify that the percentage of the employer contribution payable for postretirement health
benefits for an employee shall be based on the number of completed years of credited state
service at retirement, with 50%after 15 credited years of service, and 100% after 25 or more
years of service.
(9) This bill would declare that ensuring the statewide integrity of local government pension
systems and ensuring the sufficiency of local public safety services are matters of statewide
6

Legislative Report June 18, 2012
concern and not a municipal affair, and that, therefore, all cities, including charter cities, would
be subject to the provisions of the bill. This bill would also declare that these provisions apply to
the University of California.
(10) This bill would delay the operation of its provisions until January 1, 2013, contingent on
voter approval of an unspecified Assembly Constitutional Amendment by voters at the
November 6, 2012, statewide election.
(11) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control,River and Coastal
Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Bond Act—Prop. 84), an initiative statute approved by the voters
at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election, makes approximately $5.4 billion in bond
fiends available for safe drinking water, water quality and supply, flood control, natural resource
protection, and park improvements. It also makes $60,000,000 available to the State Department
of Public Health (DPH) for the purpose of loans and grants for projects to prevent or reduce
contamination of groundwater that serves as a source of drinking water and requires DPH to
require repayment for costs that are subsequently recovered from parties responsible for the
contamination.

Kidman Law LLP
Legislative Report June 18, 2012
DPH, in collaboration with the Department of Toxic Substances Control and the State Water
Resources Control Board, must develop and adopt regulations governing the repayment of costs
that are subsequently recovered from parties responsible for the contamination of groundwater.
This bill would require DPH to adopt the implementing regulations as emergency regulations,
pursuant to a specified procedure, and would require the emergency regulations to remain in
effect for 180 days after the effective date of those emergency regulations, by which time DPH
would be required to adopt regulations.
This bill would require the regulations to include a provision allowing DPH to enter into an
agreement with a grantee that recovers the funds that would authorize the expenditure of the
recovered funds to implement ongoing treatment and remediation activities in accordance with
the purposes for which funds may be granted pursuant to the Bond Act.
This bill would establish the Groundwater Contamination Prevention Account in the State
Treasury and would require DPH to deposit in that account the funds recovered from responsible
parties pursuant to the payment recovery provisions in the Bond Act. This bill would
continuously appropriate funds in the account to DPH for purposes of implementing the
groundwater contamination cleanup and prevention provisions of the Bond Act,thereby making
an appropriation.

Procedure Act. This bill would provide that a communication is not ex parte if the
communication is between a state or regional board staff member acting in his or her official
capacity and any of the following: a state Board member, regional board member, or any

Under existing law,the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the State Water Resources
Control Board (Board) and the nine California regional water quality control boards are the
principal state agencies with responsibility for the coordination and control of water quality in
the state,
The act requires the state board to formulate and adopt state policies for water quality control,
and requires the regional boards to adopt regional water quality control plans in compliance with
the state policies.
Existing law requires the California Environmental Protection Agency, or a board, department,
or office within the agency,to enter into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences,
the University of California, the California State University, or any similar scientific institution
of higher learning, or any combination of those entities, or with a scientist or group of scientists

regulation and that is adopted in order to implement or make effective a statute, and prescribes
procedures for conducting that scientific peer review, as specified.
This bill would add the adoption of general permit application requirements for stormwater
discharges by the state board and would add a conditional waiver of waste discharge
requirements from irrigated lands adopted by a regional water quality control board to the
definition of rule for the purposes of the above provisions, and would require these provisions to
apply only when fees are available to cover the Board's or a regional board's costs of complying
with these provisions. This bill would also deem the Board or a regional board to have complied
with the above provisions if a scientific peer review has been done on the

accounts, books,papers, and documents of any public utility. This authorization applies to
11
Kidman Law LLP
Legislative Report June 18, 2012
inspections of the accounts, books, papers, and documents of any business that is a subsidiary or
affiliate of, or a corporation that holds a controlling interest in, an electrical, gas, or telephone
corporation and this bill would add "water corporation"to the list of corporation types, but limit
it to those that have 2,000 or more service connections.
(2) With certain exceptions, whenever any electrical, gas, heat,telephone, water, or sewer
system corporation files an application to change any rate for the services or commodities
furnished by it, existing law requires that the corporation furnish its customers notice of its
application to the PUC for approval of the new rate.
This bill, for a water corporation with more than 2,000 service connections, would require the
notice to include estimated rate impacts on the various customer classes of the corporation. It
would also authorize the PUC to require the water corporation to inform customers of the
outcome of the general rate case as prescribed
(3) Existing law requires every electrical, gas, and telephone corporation to annually prepare and
submit to the PUC a report describing all significant transactions between the corporation and
every subsidiary or affiliate of, or corporation holding a controlling interest in, the electrical, gas,
or telephone corporation. Existing law requires the PUC to periodically audit all significant
transactions between an electrical, gas, or telephone corporation and every subsidiary or affiliate
of, or corporation holding a controlling interest in,that electrical, gas, or telephone corporation.
This bill would make these requirements applicable to water corporations with more than 2,000
service connections and would authorize the PUC to direct a water corporation with more than
2,000 service connections, or an electrical, gas, or telephone corporation,to utilize the services
of an independent auditor,to be selected and supervised by that water, electrical, gas, or
telephone corporation.
(4) If the PUC finds and determines that any electrical, gas, or telephone corporation has
willfully made an imprudent payment to, or received a less than reasonable payment from, any
subsidiary or affiliate of, or corporation holding a controlling interest in,the electrical, gas, or
telephone corporation in violation of any rule or order of the PUC, and the corporation has
sought to recover the payment in any proceeding before the PUC, existing law authorizes the
PUC, following a hearing, to levy a penalty against the corporation not to exceed 3 times the
required or prohibited payment if the PUC finds that the payment was made or received by the
corporation for the purpose of benefiting its subsidiary, affiliate, or holding corporation.
This bill would extend this authority to water corporations with more than 2,000 service
connections.
