Subject:Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with Shapell Homes for
Tract 16208
SUMMARY:
Shapell Homes is proposing to develop Tract 16208 into 49 single family residential units on 18.55
acres. The project is located within the area covered by the Pre-Annexation Agreement (PAA) that
was executed on July 25, 2006 between the District and Shapell Industries, Inc. The project is
located on the south side of Bastanchury Rd., between Tract 14555 and Yorba Linda High School
as shown on the attached exhibit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve the Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with
Shapell Homes for Tract No. 16208, Job No. 201315.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee discussed this matter at its meeting held
September 3, 2013 and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
The District has an existing Pressure Zone 4 pipeline in Bastanchury Road, which is adequate in
size and of sufficient pressure to serve the project. The pad elevations within Tract 16208 range
between 540 and 593 feet above mean sea level. The entire tract will be served by the Spring View
Reservoir in the District's Pressure Zone 4, which has a high water elevation of 780 feet. This
equates to water pressures exceeding 80 p.s.i., which will require the installation of pressure
regulators for each lot. Staff will also require that the applicant loop the proposed onsite water
facilities at "G" Street and "I" Street to Bastanchury Road to provide greater redundancy for this
tract.
Tract 16208 is located within Drainage Area "1" of the District's Sewer Service Area. The District
has an existing offsite sewer main at the tract's southeast corner that is adequate in size to serve
the proposed project. Staff will require the applicant to connect onto this existing sewer main.
The District's standard water and sewer fees will apply to this project. In addition, annexation fees
will be collected in accordance with the PAA, on the 49 lots.
The Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with Shapell Homes, Tract No. 16208 are
attached for your consideration.

Subject:Amendment to PSA for Dynamics GP Upgrade
SUMMARY:
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 Scope of Work letter and a cost quotation from Cogsdale are attached for review
and consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That 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
not to exceed $24,750
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Public Affairs-Communications-Technology Committee discussed this matter at its meeting
held August 27, 2013 and supports staff's recommendation.
DISCUSSION:
Microsoft's Dynamics GP Version 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
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. As such, 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 obtained a quote and a follow up Scope of Work letter from Cogsdale for assistance in
upgrading Dynamics GP and Cogsdale's CSM add-on program module to version 2013. The
summary is as follows:
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 require the
training. This is due to Dynamics GP 2013 being very similar to Version 10 as far as its screens and
operation. The need for training will be evaluated after District staff has implemented Dynamics GP
2013 in a "test" environment and is more familiar and aware of how this new version operates.
Should the Board approve moving forward with this upgrade, Staff's goal would be to go "live" with
the upgrade by the end of November 2013.

Dear Delia,
This letter is to outline the work that is being completed as per Cogsdale Quotation # QUO-03275. This
quotation is related to the upgrade of the Cogsdale solution to version GP2013 and CSM2013. As per the
Professional Services Agreement (“PSA”) between Cogsdale and the Yorba Linda Water District (“YLWD”)
dated October 14, 2008, any software upgrades and release functionality enhancements are included in the
Annual Maintenance and Support payment. Annual Maintenance and Support Payment is identified in Exhibit
B of the PSA
Quote # QUO-03275 is a quote for professional services to assist Yorba Linda Water District with the upgrade
of its solution. The upgrade is required for YLWD to complete year end processing and install year end payroll
tax updates. Due to the in-house expertise at YLWD, Cogsdale is proposing that all of the services could be
provided remotely through ‘Live Meeting” and other technology. An overview of services is provided below.
Technical Consultant – Remote Work (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.
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 – Remote Work (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.

Subject:Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period Ending June 30, 2013
SUMMARY:
Presented are the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period Ending June 30, 2013 for the
District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors receive and file the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period
Ending June 30, 2013.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Finance-Accounting Committee discussed this item at its meeting held August 26, 2013 and

DISCUSSION:
For the period ending June 30, 2013, 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 105.6% of annual budget, which is 5.6% higher when
compared to the historical trend for this point of the year. Other Operating Revenue is 113.9% of
annual budget. Sewer Other Operating Revenue, as presented, is 100.46% of annual budget.
Variable Water Costs are 106.73% of budget, due to higher than budgeted water consumptions as
well as purchasing more expensive import water prior to the January 1st rate increase. Salary
Related Expenses are 101.46% of budget at the end of this 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 June 2013 is shown in the calculation as 172%. This shows strong
financial health for the District as it pertains to the debt service ratio.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
FR 1-F: Continue to Record and Report the Fairly Stated Financial Activities of the District in a
Timely and Transparent Manner to the Board of Directors and Member Agencies
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):

on their committees.

Subject: Approval of Sole-Source PSA for Land Surveying Services
SUMMARY:
This is being brought to the Board for approval because it is in excess of the $5,000 limit in the
District's Purchasing Policy for sole-source contract approval by the General Manager. This
firm was chosen by staff for this work based on its extensive experience in working with the
County Surveyor's Office, which must approve the OCWD Annexation mapping documents
before consideration and approval by LAFCO.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize approval of a sole-source Professional Services
Agreement with Johnson-Frank & Associates, Inc, for professional land surveying and
mapping services for a total fee not to exceed $12,000 for preparation of OCWD Annexation
Area legal description and exhibit, as necessary for submittal and processing through the
County Surveyor and LAFCO.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This was discussed with the Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee on September 3.
DISCUSSION:
District staff prepared draft exhibits and legal description of the District's service area proposed
for annexation to OCWD. Final documents, reviewed and signed-off by a Professional Land
Surveyor, are required for the YLWD annexation that must be approved by the County
Surveyor and then by LAFCO.

Re: YLWD Annexation to the OCWD
JFA Job Number 2013101
Mr. Manzano:
We have reviewed the information provided, as well as the County Annexation
Procedures Manual, and estimated the level of effort and cost associated with producing
an annexation description and exhibit for the areas depicted on the Exhibit B provided.
We are estimating this effort at approximately 4 days of Licensed Surveyor time together
with approximately 1 week of Survey Technician time, at a cost of approximately
$12,000. Said fees would be billed per the attached rate schedule and would not exceed
the stated total without prior authorization.
Regarding the proposed contract, we find said contract acceptable with the exception of
the indemnification clause. Specifically, our insurance will not cover 'volunteers" as that
term is too vague and could mean essentially anyone. Striking the words "and authorized
volunteers" should make the contract acceptable.
We look forward to working with you on this project and appreciate the opportunity.
Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or require any additional
information.
Sincerely, D L sG�
