5. DISCUSSION ITEMS
5.1. Planning Discussion Concerning Recruitment Process for the Position of
General Manager
President Hawkins opened the meeting to discussion in regards to the
recruitment process for the position of General Manager. The Directors
expressed their opinions as to whether or not they felt the recruitment
should begin prior to or immediately following the preparation of an
Organization and Efficiency Study. The Board then discussed the
advantages and disadvantages of beginning the process for both tasks at
the same time or one right after the other. Additional discussion regarding
the hiring of a recruitment firm versus performing the recruitment internally
through the Human Resources Department followed.
Mr. Kidman provided an overview of the relationships between and the
duties of the Board and General Manager as described in the California
Water Code.

The Board then briefly discussed the draft job description for the position.
No further revisions were suggested.
After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board to begin both
tasks concurrently and to perform the recruitment process internally. Staff
was instructed to provide a proposed salary range and contract for the
General Manager's position for consideration by the Personnel-Risk
Management Committee in December and the full Board in January.
A brief recess was declared at 9:15 a.m.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:23 a.m.
5.2. Planning for an Organization and Efficiency Study
President Hawkins invited the Board members to share their opinions and
expectations related to the performance of an Organization and Efficiency
Study. The Board and staff then discussed the development of a Request
for Proposal (RFP) as opposed to requesting potential firms to submit a
Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). Following a brief discussion regarding
the District's current purchasing policy, it was the consensus of the Board
to proceed with the SOQ approach.
Per this approach, staff will identify potential firms or individuals who have
the experience and qualifications in performing similar studies for public
water agencies and others. Following meetings and discussions with
each potential firm or individual, staff will request the submittal of SOQs
from those initially determined as qualified and capable for further
consideration. The SOQs will be evaluated by a District review team,
which may include interviews with or follow up questions to the firms.
District staff will make a recommendation for selection to the Executive-
Administrative-Organizational (EAO) Committee and thence to the Board.
If so approved by the Board, staff will negotiate the project scope and fee
with the selected firm or individual and bring recommendations through
the EAO Committee to the Board for approval to proceed with the study.
As a starting point, staff was instructed to develop a list of potential firms
and a draft time line for performance of the study for consideration by the
EAO Committee and subsequent consideration by the Board.

Presented By: Stephen Parker, Finance Dept: Finance
Manager
Prepared By: Delia Lugo, Senior Accountant
Subject: Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period Ending September 30, 2012
SUMMARY:
Presented are the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period Ending September 30, 2012 for
the District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period
Ending September 30, 2012.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance-Accounting Committee discussed this item at its meeting held November 26, 2012 and
supports staff recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
For the period ending September 30, 2012, staff is presenting unaudited statements in the CAFR
format. We have included the traditional budget to actual statements for the District as a whole, as
well as the individual water and sewer funds.
Water Operating Revenue, as presented, is 33.1 % of annual budget, which is on target when
compared to the historical trend of 33.5% for the first quarter of the fiscal year. Other Operating
Revenue is 36.7% of annual budget. Sewer Other Operating Revenue, as presented, is 53.6% of
annual budget primarily due to FOG Fees for the year being 100% invoiced and paid.
With the issuance of the 2008 Certificates of Participation (COP's) and the Refunding Revenue
Bonds, Series 2012A the District covenanted "... to fix, prescribe and collect rates and charges for
Water Service which will be at least sufficient to yield during each Fiscal Year, Net Revenues equal
to 110% of the Debt Service for such Fiscal Year."
To confirm the covenant is upheld, a calculation is made quarterly and presented to the Finance-
Accounting Committee and received and filed by the Board of Directors. Accordingly, the unaudited
debt service ratio through September 2012 is shown in the attached calculation as 179%. This
shows strong financial health for the District as it pertains to the debt service ratio.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
FR 1-G: Continue to Improve Communications of the Districts Financial Information to the Board of
Directors, Member Agencies, Management, and the Financial Community

Prepared By: Annie Alexander, Executive
Secretary
Subject: Board of Directors Compensation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider the Directors' compensation rate for calendar year 2013.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Executive-Administrative-Organizational Committee discussed this matter at its meeting held
November 19, 2012 and did not recommend an increase in Directors' compensation at this time.
DISCUSSION:
In accordance with California Water Code Sections 20201-20202, the amount of compensation for
members of the Board of Directors is currently set at $150 per day for each day's attendance at
meetings of the Board and other meetings attended at the request of the Board, not to exceed 10
days per calendar month. Section 20202 also allows for an increase in the amount of compensation
up to 5% for each calendar year following the operative date of the last adjustment. As the last
adjustment was effective March 24, 2003 (per attached Ordinance No. 03-01), the Board of
Directors would be eligible for an increase in their current compensation rate up to $232.70 per day,
with a maximum of 10 days per month.
Should the Committee recommend an increase in the amount of compensation, an ordinance would
need to be considered and adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to the procedures specified
in Water Code Sections 20203-20204 and Government Code Section 6066:
• A public hearing would need to be held prior to adoption of the ordinance.
Notice of the hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general
• circulation once a week for two successive weeks prior to the public
hearing.
The ordinance would become effective 60 days from the date of its final
passage.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors last increased their meeting compensation rate in 2003, and prior to that, in
1991.

3.2. Past-Due Reminder Notice (Verbal Report)
Mr. Parker reported on the status of the above, with the setting last month
of a minimum $75 late bill for issuance of the Past-Due Reminder Notice.
He was pleased to note that we are seeing a significant increase in sign-
ups for auto-pay of monthly bills. He also described, however, the
continuing challenge of dealing with late-pays, which averages in the
range of one-sixth (approximately 16%) of all our monthly bills. Following
a discussion on the issues and challenges, the Committee asked that staff
continue with the current billing and reminder-notice program over the next
several months to see if the reminder-notice program reduces the
percentage of late-pays and increases the number of auto-pay sign-ups.
Staff will provide an update to the Committee in April or May 2013. Mr.
Parker left the meeting at the completion of this item.
3.3. City of Placentia Ad Hoc Meeting (Verbal Report)
Mr. Conklin reported that at a November 1 meeting that he and President
Hawkins had with City of Placentia Mayor Yamaguchi and City
Administrator Troy Butzlaff, Mr. Butzlaff asked that the District consider
reestablishing ad hoc meetings of City Council and District Board
members and staff to discuss items of mutual interest and concern.
Included could be such items as water and sewer service, as well as
looking at opportunities for joint-use of staff, equipment and facilities for
such as fleet maintenance, use of heavy equipment, payroll processing
and procurement. Mr. Conklin noted, that as a follow-up to the request by
the City, that Mr. Butzlaff had contacted him again and that a meeting was
tentatively scheduled for November 27 to discuss the potential for
combining fleet-maintenance services. Following discussion, the
Committee asked staff to proceed with meetings with City staff on joint-
use opportunities. Further, they asked staff to pursue with city
management staff at both Placentia and Yorba Linda the establishment of
regular ad hoc committee meetings on a bi-monthly basis.
3.4. Coordination Between Developers (Verbal Report)
Mr. Conklin reported that both the Cielo Vista and the Esperanza Hills
residential development projects have initiated preparation of CEQA
documents, and are otherwise processing through the County Planning
Department. He also noted that the District's Northeast Area Planning
Study is in progress, with final completion anticipated by the end of
January 2013. The final study will include findings and recommendations

It is planned that the final study will be brought to the February 7, 2013

A meeting of the Finance-Accounting Committee was called to order by Director Kiley at

Director Phil Hawkins
1. PUBLIC COMMENTS
None.
2. ACTION CALENDAR
2.1. Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period Ending September 30,
2012
Mr. Parker presented the quarterly financial statements and debt service
coverage calculation for the period ending September 30, 2012. As this is
the second year that full-accrual quarterly information has been made
available by the Finance Department, the balance sheet includes a
comparison with the first quarter of the last fiscal year. Through the first
quarter, the debt service coverage is lower than in the past couple of
years but is still strong at 179%. Mr. Parker pointed out that the cash-
financing of our aggressive CIP plan as well as the lawsuit settlement has
caused our cash reserves to decrease rapidly in the last year. He also
highlighted that an intentional funding of the California Employees
Retirement Benefit Trust with reserve funds has turned the Net OPEB
Liability to a Net OPEB Asset. The Committee had no further questions
and supported staff recommendation of moving the item to the consent
calendar at the next Board meeting.
3. DISCUSSION ITEMS
3.1. Budget to Actual Results for October 2012
Mr. Parker presented the October Budget to Actual results. He indicated
that more Supplies and Services expense line items are trending over
budget due to four consecutive decreases in the District's supplies and
services budget. Mr. Parker discussed the reasons why Materials was on
pace to go over budget, but he shared that he believed the District still had
the opportunity to meet their overall Supplies and Services budget. The
Committee had no further questions.
1
3.2. Investment Reports for Period Ending October 31, 2012
Mr. Parker reviewed the October 2012 Investment Report. The current
yield of 0.68% is lower than has existed in recent history. Mr. Parker
pointed out that the LAIF and CalTRUST Short-Term rates both fell below
0.35%, making the money market account the District obtained with Bank
of the West more lucrative. Mr. Parker explained that the yield could
increase with a change in investment practices that he desired to put in
place after a wholesale revision of the current investment policy, but even
then it would only inch up. He stated that he did not expect the total
portfolio to exceed 1% for many years to come. Mr. Parker also described
how he expected the CalTRUST Medium-Term rate to decrease from its
current 0.82%, with the fund having investments made 4 and 5 years ago
maturing now, but needing to purchase investments at current market
rates to replace them. The Committee had no further questions.
3.3. Status of Strategic Plan Initiatives
Mr. Parker reported on the status of strategic plan initiatives related to
fiscal responsibility.
3.4. Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks
None.
