Meeting Date: To: From: Presented By: Prepared By Subject: SUMMARY: August 27, 2013 AGENDA REPORT Total Budget: Public Affairs - Communications- Cost Estimate: Technology Committee Steve Conklin, Acting General Manager Delia Lugo, Acting Finance Manager Art Vega, Acting IT Manager Dynamics GP Upgrade Funding Source: Account No Dept: ITEM NO. 4.1 $18,000 up to $24,750 N/A 1- 6020 - 0780 -20 Information Technology Reviewed by Legal: Pending The proposed upgrade would update the Districts Dynamics GP software to the current version and allow the District to continue to receive tax updates. The District's current version of Dynamics GP will stop receiving tax updates on December 31, 2013 and will eventually no longer be supported by the provider. A cost quotation from Cogsdale is attached. A formal scope of work has been requested and will be provided at the PACT Committee meeting for review and consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Committee recommend the Board of Directors aprove an amendment to the PSA with Cogsdale to upgrade Dynamics GP software and Cogsdale's CSM module from version 10 to their latest 2013 version for a total fee up to $24,750 DISCUSSION: Microsoft's Dynamics GP 10.0 is the software the District currently uses for finance, payroll, HR, inventory and project accounting. A third party add -on to Dynamics GP is Cogsdale's CSM program which the District uses for utility billing. Cogsdale's CSM program was developed by the company Cogsdale and is independent of Microsoft. The IT Department became aware in December 2012 during the installation of the payroll year -end tax code update that the District's current version of Dynamics GP, version 10, would no longer receive tax updates after December 31, 2013. Therefore, IT budgeted for upgrading to the latest version of Dynamics GP for fiscal year 2013 -2014. Staff proposes bypassing the next version of Dynamics GP, version 2010, and upgrading to the latest version released this year Dynamics GP 2013. In so doing, Cogsdale's CSM add -on module will also need to be upgraded to the 2013 version. Staff has obtained a quote from Cogsdale for assistance in upgrading Dynamics GP and Cogsdale's CSM add -on program module to version 2013. The summary is as follows: Services Hours Rate Total Professional Services 72 $ 165.00 $ 11,880.00 Upgrade Project Management 18 $ 165.00 $ 2,970.00 Sub -Total $ 14,850.00 To Be Determined if needed Training 48 $ 165.00 $ 7,920.00 Project Management 12 $ 165.00 $ 1,980.00 Sub -Total $ 9,900.00 Total $ 24,750.00 Staff also looked into obtaining a second quote for this upgrade from NeuLogics. NeuLogics has the knowledge and experience to do this upgrade to Dynamics GP 2013. However, it would be more expensive because we would still need to obtain the services from Cogsdale for Cogsdale's CSM 2013 module. Feedback from Cogsdale's staff is that most of the customers that have upgraded do not move forward with the training. This is due to Dynamics GP 2013 being very similar to version 10 as far as it's screens and operation. The need for training will be evaluated after staff has implemented Dynamics GP 2013 in a test environment and is more familiar and aware of how this new version operates. Should the Committee and Board approve moving forward with this upgrade, Staff's goal would be to go "live" with the upgrade by the end of November 2013.

Expenses related to the above services (e.g., travel) will be invoiced per the services agreement between Cogsdale and the Yorba Linda Water District. In addition to said expenses, a travel cost of $75 /hr will be incurred based on flight duration between airports should travel be necessary. Cogsdale will consider alternative meeting options such as; LiveMeeting, Remote Desktop and Conference Calls in an effort to reduce travel costs and expenses.

Quote PROPOSED SOLUTION: Cogsdale will provide the Yorba Linda Water District with to ensure a successful upgrade. The recommended upgrade assistance plan includes: Technical Consultant (Client Services) The Technical Consultant will prepare a Test Upgrade a few weeks before the Production Upgrade to allow Yorba Linda Water District staff to test before going live. During this time, the team will garner a full understanding of scope to be expected for the Production Upgrade phase. This will include possible modifications and customizations required to meet Yorba Linda Water District requirements. Should the Test Upgrade phase expose a change in scope, Cogsdale will work with Yorba Linda Water District to come to a mutually acceptable adjustment to the original quote. During the Production Upgrade phase, the technical consultant will assist the client with weekend task preparations that will ensure the system is ready for go -live activities. During this phase, the consultant will ensure that upgrade routines are executed, perform and assist with testing, ensure the go -live goes smoothly and provide general assistance to staff. Training Consultant (Client Services) Upon completing the test upgrade, the Training Consultant will work with the Yorba Linda Water District team during testing to provide assistance /guidance as well as to clarify requirements and /or focus for cutover support activities. As cutovers to "live" typically happen during the weekend, the training consultant will be available onsite to work directly with the team to support and assist during the first few days of being live with the newly upgraded system. During this time, business processes can be reviewed to determine if efficiencies to either system setup or business processes can be introduced due to newer functionalities introduced through the newly updated GP /CSM systems. Development The Development team will be involved in the event there are modifications /customizations that have to be updated for the successful completion of the upgrade. Should these services be required, Cogsdale will work with the Yorba Linda Water District to come to a mutually acceptable adjustment to the original quote should the effort exceed the overall budget approved through this original quote. NOTES: This quote assumes that: • Yorba Linda Water District has a test environment and a plan for both its Test and Live environments to meet GP2010 system requirements (see inserted PDF). • Yorba Linda Water District is using 3 companies (i.e., live, test, train). Should additional companies be required, this quote will need to be adjusted by an additional 2 hours for each additional company to cover DB conversions as part of the upgrade process. • Training costs have been included in this quote should Yorba Linda Water District require training; however, this budget will only be used should training be requested or otherwise approved by the Yorba Linda Water District for other activities. ITEM NO. 5.2 AGENDA REPORT Meeting Date: August 27, 2013 Subject: Draft Fall Newsletter Content (To be provided at the meeting.) ATTACHMENTS: Description: Type: FALL 13 NEWSLETTER DRAFT.pdf Backup Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to Backup Material the Meeting Backup Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting FRONT PAGE STORY) A LOOK AT OUR BOOKS... Recently, the OC Register published an article calling into question the unrestricted reserves of many special districts in contrast to those of Yorba Linda Water District due to our surprising low amount of unrestricted reserves. That article stirred up more than a few questions and comments from our customers. While several people thanked the District for our conservative approach to managing the customer's money, the article left some with questions about the District's finances. In order to address these concerns, we have selected a few of the most commonly asked questions and brought them to the finance department for clarification. Could a lack of an abundance of unrestricted reserves leave the District vulnerable in the event of an emergency? No. The District's current Reserve Policy has established distinct Restricted Reserves that have particular definitions and purposes including: Emergency Reserves, Capital Replacement Reserves, and Debt Service Reserves. In short, in the event of an emergency; we have money in the bank and good credit to weather the storm. What is the difference between Restricted and Unrestricted Reserves? Restricted Reserve Funds are those earmarked for the purpose of funding such items as new capital facilities, repair or replacement of existing facilities, and operating reserves designated for a specific purpose by the Board of Directors. The Reserve Policy approved by the District Board provides the rules and guidelines for the use of established reserve funds. The other type of reserve funds are Unrestricted Reserves. These are reserves that can be used for most Board - approved purposes with no pre- defined restrictions. At the Yorba Linda Water District, it is our fiduciary responsibility to identify and maintain the distinction between Restricted and Unrestricted Reserves when preparing mandated financial statements. Why are YLWD's Unrestricted Reserves so low as compared to other agencies? Rather than build a robust source of Unrestricted Reserves, it has been the overall philosophy and practice of the District to have rates that coincide with the budgeted expenses for the current fiscal year. Each month, we at the District must pay our bills, including those to Southern Backup Material Distributed Less Than 72 Hours Prior to the Meeting California Gas & Edison Companies, and Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and Orange County Water District. If they increase their rates, we must determine if our current established rates will generate the water sales revenue to meet our anticipated costs. If our long -term projections indicate costs exceeding what our revenue can support, we typically have to raise our rates. However, as much as possible, the District does its best to let you, our customers, keep your money in your savings account, rather than in ours.

Yorba Linda Water District is responsible for maintenance of almost 4,000 fire hydrants that fire fighters use to protect our community. Help the Orange County Fire Authority and YLWD by following these simple tips to keep fire hydrants working properly and accessible when they are needed: Keep cars, bikes, toys and other objects away from fire hydrants at all times. Mow and trim grass or weeds around fire hydrants near your property. Do not plant flowers or shrubs around fire hydrants.
