Motion carried 5 -0. 9.2. Property Insurance Premium for April 1, 2014 to April 1, 2015 Mrs. Knight explained that the annual premium to renew the District's property insurance was being submitted for consideration of payment in the amount of $47,445. The District's current policy will expire on March 31, 2014. The new premium includes a 5% discount as the District also obtains workers compensation and general liability insurance coverage through ACWA/JPIA. Last year's premium for property insurance was $47,186. The slight difference in this year's premium is due to a 2.64% increase for building and structure values and a 1.85% increase for fixed equipment values. Director Hawkins stated that the Personnel -Risk Management Committee had discussed this matter at its most recent meeting and recommended that the Board authorize payment of the premium. 3 Director Hawkins made a motion, seconded by Director Collett, to authorize payment in the amount of $47,445 to renew the District's property insurance coverage through ACWA/JPIA for the period April 1, 2014 through April 1, 2015. Motion carried 5 -0. 10. REPORTS, INFORMATION ITEMS, AND COMMENTS 10.1. President's Report President Kiley reported that he had been asked to speak at a recent meeting of the East Lake Village Home Owner's Association concerning the drought and District activities. 10.2. Directors' Report None. 10.3. Acting General Manager's Report Mr. Conklin noted that even though the area recently experienced a good rainstorm it unfortunately didn't provide enough precipitation to end the statewide drought. Southern California's water reserves continue to remain relatively healthy and accordingly, the District's message to its customers is to continue with their current water -use efficiency efforts. Mr. Conklin reported on the status of the District's joint agency turf demonstration project with the City of Placentia and noted that the Placentia -Linda Hospital had contacted the District requesting assistance with a clog in their sewer main line. District staff would like to encourage customers not to dispose of "flushable" wipes in the toilet as they don't disintegrate and easily get caught on protrusions in the sewer lines. This message will be included in an upcoming issue of the District's newsletter. Construction work is continuing on the 2012 Pipeline Replacement and Yorba Linda Booster Station projects and pilot -hole drilling for Well 21 has been completed. The budget preparation process continues to move g forward and the first workshop meeting is scheduled March 17, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. Mr. Conklin further reported that staff had increased the District's reservoir storage volume by 5 million gallons in response to a Red -Flag Warning condition which has been lifted. Additionally, MWD has formally requested for extraction of its stored water in the Orange County groundwater basin during the next fiscal year as part of its Conjunctive - Use- Program (CUP) of which the District is a participant. YLWD is obligated to pump 2K AF of groundwater and pay for it as if it were MWD full - service treated water, not groundwater. As a result, staff is not expecting to be able to deliver as much water at groundwater prices next fiscal year. At the request of Mr. Conklin, Mr. DeCriscio provided the Board with a brief presentation further detailing this matter. Mr. Conklin and Mr. DeCriscio then responded to questions from the Board regarding the use of external pumps, associated pumping costs, the possibility of an in -lieu cash swap between MWD and OCWD, and staff efforts to obtain an additional well site. 12 10.4.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Directors approve a Professional Services Agreement with Koff & Associates to conduct a job evaluation and classification study for its miscellaneous job classifications, for a total fee not to exceed $26,885. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item was discussed at the Personnel -Risk Management Committee meeting held on March 4, 2014. The Committee supports the staff recommendation, on the condition that funding is available in the current FY 13/14 Human Resources Department budget, which has been confirmed. DISCUSSION: The District received a December 11, 2013 proposal from Koff & Associates to develop an updated and well- structured classification system and classification descriptions for subject positions that are legally compliant, internally aligned and that reflect contemporary standards, current roles, responsibilities, duties and qualifications. Koff & Associates already completed Position Description Questionnaires and interviews with employees in each study classification as part of the Organizational Study completed for the District. This previously collected data will be directly applicable to the proposed Classification Study. As part of the proposed Classification Study, interviews with supervisors and managers may be conducted to address any classification issues. All participating employees will be allocated to an appropriate classification. Draft classification descriptions will be developed and sent to the District for additional feedback and concurrence by those who are the incumbents in the positions. Koff & Associates proposes a collaborative and interactive approach, which they believe will result in a greater buy -in for the study recommendations. Thus, a significant number of meetings with the project team, management, HR staff and the Board of Directors are envisioned. Koff & Associates will also take into consideration labor /management relations and active participation by all those with a stake in the process to ensure the project's success. The proposed scope of work, as presented in the attached proposal, is summarized as follows: 1. Initial Documentation Review /Meetings with Study Project Team & Management Staff. 2. Position Description Questionnaire Review. 3. Employee /Supervisory /Management Interviews. 4. Classification Concept /Preliminary Allocation Development. 5. Draft Class Description Development /Update. 6. Draft Class Description Review /Informal Appeal Process. 7. Finalize Classification Plan /Draft Interim Report /Final Report. 8. Participation in a Formal Appeal Process. 9. Final Presentation. Koff & Associates envisions that a comprehensive classification study of this scope and for this size organization will take approximately three months to complete. If the Board of Directors approves the award of a PSA to Koff & Associates, they are prepared to commence the study immediately.

That extra effort has resulted in close to 100% implementation of all of our organization and classification studies. Koff & Associates is a small firm that accepts only as much work as our own staff can handle. This ensures a high level of quality control, excellent communication between clients and our office, commitment to meeting timelines and budgets, and a consistent high - caliber work product. As Chief Executive Officer, I would assume the role of Project Director and be responsible for the successful completion of this project. I can be reached at the Emeryville address and phone number listed below. My email address is gkrammer(a_koffassociates.com. Please call if you have any questions or wish additional information. We look forward to the opportunity to continue providing professional services to the Yorba Linda Water District. Sincerely, Georg S. Krammer Chief Executive Officer 6400 Hollis Street, Suite 5 Emeryville, CA 94608 510.658. KOFF (5633) Koff & Associates Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District Table of Contents Understanding of the Project 1 Approach and Methodology of Services Provided 3 Project Completion Schedule 7 Fee Structure 8 Signature Page 9 Koff & Associates Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT The Yorba Linda Water District desires human resources consulting assistance to conduct an objective job evaluation and classification review for all of its miscellaneous job classifications, except department directors, in order to make recommendations regarding the appropriateness, internal equity, and effectiveness of the District's classification plan. Included in the study are eighty (80) employees allocated to approximately fifty -eight (58) classifications, including several class series. Our approach and philosophy towards classification studies is to develop an updated and well - structured classification system and classification descriptions for all study positions that are legally compliant (including Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements), internally aligned, reflective of contemporary standards, and accurately reflect current roles, responsibilities, duties, and qualifications. The classification analysis process includes orientation and briefing sessions with employees, District management staff, Human Resources, and other stakeholders, as appropriate; the completion of a Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ) by employees (this already occurred during the organizational study we recently completed for the District); interviews with employees in each study classification (this was mostly accomplished during the organizational study and we may only need to interview a few employees if their job duties have shifted since PDQs were completed); and interviews with supervisors and management to address any classification issues. All participating employees will be allocated to an appropriate classification and draft classification descriptions will be developed and sent back to the District and incumbents for additional feedback and concurrence. The study includes a significant number of meetings with the study project team, management, Human Resources, staff, and the Board of Directors, as desired. We have expertise in labor /management relations and understand the importance of active participation by all stakeholders to ensure a successful outcome. The meetings and "stakeholder touch - points" that we recommend ensure understanding of the project parameters, enhance accurate intake and output of information, and improve a collaborative and interactive approach that will result in greater buy -in for the study recommendations. This interactive approach, although time - consuming, has resulted in almost 100% implementation success of Koff & Associates' studies. Project Objectives: The general scope of work and objectives of the project are: Classification Objectives ➢ To analyze and update the District's classifications and each study position's classification description and structure through a comprehensive process of job analysis and evaluation, including review of existing documentation, Position Description Questionnaires, employee interviews, management interviews, analysis of existing positions and working situations, analysis of levels of duties and responsibilities, and other professional methods, as appropriate; Koff & Associates Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District ➢ To recommend each study position for title change or reclassification (as appropriate), create new classifications (if applicable), eliminate outdated classifications (if applicable), and consolidate classifications assigned to similar functional areas (as appropriate); ➢ To provide for growth and flexibility of assignment within the new classification structure, where feasible, in recognition that some job duties and responsibilities may evolve over time, as well as adequate career paths and class series /job families that will foster career service within the District; ➢ To clearly state definitions of job classifications, the essential and non - essential duty statements, and minimum requirements and preferred requirements such as education, prior work experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and physical requirements; ➢ To provide a classification structure that ensures regulatory compliance, including allocation of each selected study position to the correct classification with appropriate FLSA designation, as well as, meeting Federal ADA regulations; ➢ To provide for adequate educational, review, and appeal processes that will result in a product that is understood by all levels of personnel and is internally equitable; ➢ To ensure consistency with the concepts adopted in the District -wide Classification Plan; and ➢ To ensure sufficient documentation throughout the study, including classification concepts, distinguishing characteristics, and final reports and recommendations to guide the organization in implementing, managing and maintaining the classification system. Overall Objectives ➢ To review and understand all current documentation, rules, regulations, policies, procedures, budgets, class descriptions, organizational charts, personnel policies, memoranda of understanding, and related information so that our recommendations can be operationally incorporated with a minimum of disruption; ➢ To conduct start -up study meetings with the project team, District management, Human Resources, employees, and others, to discuss any specific concerns with respect to the development of a classification plan; finalize study plans and timetables; conduct employee orientation sessions with management and staff in order to educate and explain the scope of the study and describe what are and are not reasonable study expectations and goals; ➢ To work collaboratively and effectively with the District and its stakeholders while at the same time maintaining control and objectivity in the conduct of the study; ➢ To develop a classification structure that meets all legal requirements, is totally non- discriminatory, provides for compliance with all pertinent legal requirements, and easily accommodates organizational change and growth; ➢ To document all steps in the process and provide documentation for Human Resources in classification study methodologies so that the District can integrate, maintain, administer, and defend any recommended changes after the initial implementation; and ➢ To provide effective ongoing communications throughout the duration of the project and continued support after implementation. Koff & Associates KIGJ Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY OF SERVICES PROVIDED This section of the proposal identifies the actual work scope. We believe that our detailed explanation of methodology and work tasks clearly identifies our approach and comprehensiveness. A. INITIAL DOCUMENTATION REVIEW /MEETINGS WITH STUDY PROJECT TEAM & MANAGEMENT STAFF This phase includes identifying the client project team (Human Resources, management, other staff, and /or Board Committee members, as appropriate), contract administrator, and reporting relationships. Our team will conduct an orientation and briefing session with the study project team to explain process and methodology; create the specific work plan and work schedule; identify subsequent tasks to be accomplished; reaffirm the primary objectives and specific end products; determine deadline dates for satisfactory completion of the overall assignment; determine who will be responsible for coordinating /scheduling communications with employees, management, Human Resources, and the Board of Directors, if desired; and develop a timetable for conducting the same. Included in this task will be the gathering of written documentation, identifying current incumbents, and assembling current class descriptions, organizational charts, personnel policies, previous classification studies, and any other relevant documentation to gain a general understanding of District operations. (Most likely K &A already has all the pertinent information we need from the organizational study.) District terminology and methods of current classification procedures will be reviewed and agreed to. We will discuss methodology and agree to a class description format. We will respond to questions. B. POSITION DESCRIPTION QUESTIONNAIRE REVIEW We will re- review PDQs to see if we have any classification- specific questions regarding any positions or incumbents and to identify those employees whom we may need to meet with or interview in more detail to ensure that we understand the full scope of work of each District position. C. EMPLOYEE/ SUPERVISORY/ MANAGEMENT INTERVIEWS Interviews will be scheduled with employees, as needed, either based on PDQs already completed and /or due to any changes in assignments, reorganizations, etc. since PDQs were completed. Interviews will then be held with supervisory and management staff to address any big - picture classification issues we need to be aware of before developing classification concepts and allocating employees to the appropriate classifications. Koff & Associates 3 Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District The purpose of the interviews is to clarify and supplement the PDQ data and to respond to potential perception differences regarding roles, tasks, scope, and supervisory responsibilities. D. CLASSIFICATION CONCEPT /PRELIMINARY ALLOCATION DEVELOPMENT Prior to developing detailed class descriptions, our job evaluation will result in a classification plan concept and employee allocation document that will be submitted to the project team for review and approval. We will compare changes in business need and operations, as well as any re- organizations, with the established classification system and job families, as well as, review internal relationships between classifications. This document will list broad class concepts and highlight where significant changes may be recommended, such as expanding or collapsing class series in the same functional area and /or separating or combining classifications assigned to different functional areas. We will review and analyze current classification series, the number of classifications and classification levels, and career ladders, and determine whether any changes and /or new classifications are necessary to address the District's service needs. We will also review and update established titling guidelines for the studied classifications for appropriate and consistent titling. A detailed, incumbent - specific allocation list for each position included in the study will be prepared, specifying current and proposed classification title and the impact of our recommendations (reclassification — upgrade or downgrade, title change, or no change). After we have completed this process, we will meet with the project team, Human Resources, and management staff to review the proposed recommendations to the classifications being studied based on industry best practices and roles and responsibilities. E. DRAFT CLASS DESCRIPTION DEVELOPMENT /UPDATE After preliminary approval of the class concepts and allocation lists, new and /or updated class descriptions will be developed for each proposed classification, following the format approved by the project team and District. From the review of the PDQs and employee interviews, we will update duties, responsibilities, and minimum qualifications of each class specification, as necessary, or develop new class specifications if duties, responsibilities, and minimum qualifications have changed significantly, we recommend new classifications /class levels, and /or operational changes, business needs, and any re- organizations require new classifications. We will review, analyze, and update, as appropriate, knowledge, skills, abilities, education and experience, relevance and hierarchical consistency, position definitions, purpose, distinguishing characteristics, supervision received and exercised, position functions and special requirements, including licensing and certification requirements. Each qualifying statement will be directly applicable to the essential job functions as listed in the examples of duties section. Koff & Associates 4 K!GJ Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District Finally, we will review each classification's essential job functions and determine exempt vs. non - exempt status in accordance with "white collar" exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and will also ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). F. DRAFT CLASS DESCRIPTION REVIEW /INFORMAL APPEAL PROCESS First a copy of the classification descriptions will be submitted to the Project Team for review and discussion. This review will ensure that no factual information is overlooked and that the recommendations are fair and consistent. Next, a draft copy of the revised /new class description with allocation recommendation will be submitted to each manager, supervisor, and employee, to give each stakeholder an opportunity to provide comments and concerns regarding any modifications to the classification structure and specifications. Our experience has been that this is one of the most critical phases of the project (but also one of the most time - consuming). Our proactive and effective communication process at this crossroad has always avoided formal appeals, adversarial meetings, or major conflicts at the conclusion of the study. Each employee will receive a memorandum from us outlining what has been accomplished, how to best review the draft classification specification that will be attached, and how to provide feedback to us. Supervisors and managers receive a copy of their employees' draft class descriptions and will be asked to review their employees' comments and feedback to verify and concur with the information provided. Each memo will have two options for the employee's signature: one line is reserved for employees who have read and agree with their draft class description; the other line is reserved for employees who have read the draft class description and disagree with certain parts, want to make changes, want to add or delete information, or have general questions about the description and /or the process. Employees shall submit their written concerns (via their supervisor /manager) to our office. While employees may not always agree with our recommendations, they have a "second chance" to ensure that they have been heard and to continue the educational process regarding why specific recommendations were made. Significant employee comments will be reviewed with management prior to making any significant changes to the proposed class plan. These discussions may be by email, telephone, or additional direct personal contact with employees, depending upon the extent of the response. Allocation and /or class description changes will be made as required and the class specifications will be finalized and submitted for approval. All employees who submitted their comments during the review process will be notified in writing regarding the outcome of their concerns. Koff & Associates 5 K!GJ Classification Study Proposal Yorba Linda Water District G. FINALIZE CLASSIFICATION PLAN /DRAFT INTERIM REPORT /FINAL REPORT A Draft Interim Report of the Classification Study will be completed and submitted to the District for review and comment. The report will contain: A recommended classification plan; A classification manual, including documentation regarding study goals and objectives, classification methodology, approach, and process, as well as, all findings, analysis, and resulting recommendations; The recommended allocation list, classification title changes, job family and career growth issues, reporting relationships, organization structure, and other factors will all be included; y Classification concepts and guidelines, as well as, distinguishing characteristics and other pertinent information for implementation and continued maintenance of the Plan will be detailed; y A complete set of the updated classification descriptions that include required knowledge, skills, and abilities for each position class in a standardized format. Once we have received the District's comments regarding the Draft Interim Report and have made any necessary changes, a Final Classification Report will be developed. H. PARTICIPATION IN A FORMAL APPEAL PROCESS Should the District have a formal appeal process regarding the allocation of positions to classifications and of classifications to salary ranges, this proposal does not cover time regarding a formal appeal process (the informal appeal process is identified in F above). Should our on -site participation be desired, our stated composite hourly rate will be honored. As mentioned above, however, our internal process usually addresses any appeal issues. I. FINAL PRESENTATION Our proposal includes multiple meetings and conference calls and weekly oral and /or written status /progress updates to the study project team. We will also be prepared to develop and present our report and future impacts of any recommended changes to the District Manager, as well as, other District management staff, if desired. Regarding the involvement of the Board of Directors, we are flexible to have more or less interaction with the Board, based on the Board's preferences.

This appointment as liaison will end when YLWD has formal representation on the OCSD Board, or when the YLWD Board chooses to appoint a new liaison. If and when YLWD is aware that it will obtain formal representation on the OCSD Board, the YLWD Board will make an appointment of a YLWD Director as the representative on the OCSD Board, with the stipend paid by OCSD for each meeting attended by the YLWD representative, in accordance with OCSD policy. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: At its meeting on March 10, the Executive - Administration - Organizational Committee discussed the value to the District of having a District Director attend the monthly OCSD Board meetings as a observer and liaison, in anticipation of the District obtaining formal representation on that Board in the near future. The recommendations of the EAO Committee are as noted above. Approved by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water District 3/27/2014 RUPH 4 -0 -1 MB voted No. Meeting Date; To: From: Presented By Prepared By: Subject: SUMMARY: AGENDA REPORT March 27, 2014 Board of Directors Steve Conklin, Acting General Manager Steve Conklin, Acting General Manager Steve Conklin, Acting General Manager Budgeted ITEM NO. 8.1 No Reviewed by Legal: N/A Water System Interties with Neighboring Agencies The District has water system interties with the cities of Anaheim and Brea and with Golden State Water Company (GSWC). The interties are normally closed, and only opened if agreed upon by the two involved agencies, for a specific need, such an emergency or scheduled maintenance that would impede the normal water supply. The District has written agreements for the use of the interties with the cities of Anaheim and Brea, but not with GSWC. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Executive - Administrative - Organizational Committee was briefed on the status of interties at its meeting on March 10, 2014. The Committee asked that this be brought to the Board for its information and consideration. DISCUSSION: As shown on the attached map, the District has two water system interties (shown in yellow) with the City of Brea, three (in green) with the City of Anaheim, and five (in blue) with GSWC (formerly known as Southern California Water Company (SCWC)). The District Board approved a Memorandum of Understanding on April 1, 1968 with the City of Brea that includes a description of the use and responsibilities for two existing water system interties. The District Board approved an Operating Agreement for Water System Interconnections Between the City of Anaheim and YLWD on May 11, 2004, which superceded and consolidated similar agreements in 1965, 1978 and 2001. As a follow -up to the 2004 agreement, the District and City of Anaheim completed construction of upgraded interconnections in 2011, with the cost shared equally. Concerning the interties with GSWC, these have been used periodically over the years, but no formal agreement has been executed. A review of District Board minutes references the issue of interties and their use with SCWC /GSWC in 1972, 1973, 1974,1980 and 1999. In 2000, the Board minutes state that water received from SCWC /GSWC was much harder than District water and that complaints were received. Given that condition, the decision was that the District would not enter into an agreement with SCWC /GSWC to use its well water on a long -term basis. There has been no discussion with GSWC since that time regarding water facilities or interties.

Following discussion, the Committee agreed with the proposed department budget. 4.3. Water Operating Plan for Fiscal Year 2014 -2015 Mr. DeCriscio provided a presentation to the Committee, showing the percentage of the District -wide water demand that is consumed in each of the District's pressure zones and sub - zones. He noted that water demand in each zone is provided from either groundwater or MWD import water, not mixed or achieved with a blend of the two, in order to minimize taste and odor concerns of customers. Under this operating plan, the District's use of groundwater is limited, based on the demands in a given zone (with the demand in zones 1, 2 and 3 typically comprising approximately 63% of system demand) and the overall demand for the system on a given day. Mr. DeCriscio also described the impact of the call for 2,000 AF of Conjunctive -Use Program (CUP) water by MWD on YLWD's groundwater pumping plan and its relation to that described above. He reviewed YLWD's system limitations for moving groundwater and how it will change with the completion of Well 21, the YL Booster Station, and later, the completion of Fairmont Booster Station and proposed Well 22. Mr. DeCriscio indicated that with existing facilities, the expected call for CUP water by MWD and the expected approval of annexation by July 1, 2014, we should be able to achieve a BPP of approximately 52% for FY 14/15. The Committee discussed the situation and asked that Mr. DeCriscio provide this presentation to the full Board. . 4.4. Status of OCWD Annexation Process (Verbal Report) Mr. Conklin reported that the annexation request is planned for consideration by LAFCO at its April or May board meeting.

Siting of Wells 22 and 23 (Verbal Report) Mr. Conklin showed aerial photos and maps of the site that staff is investigating as a potential site for Well 22, on AT &T property on the north side of Coronado, between Jefferson and Van Buren. He noted that staff has been unsuccessful in getting a return call from AT &T. Dir Melton indicated that he will make some calls and see if he can get staff a contact at AT &T. 4.7. Monthly Groundwater Production and Purchased Import Water Report (To be provided at the meeting.) Mr. DeCriscio reported that water demand in February 2014 was 19% greater than that projected, and for the first 8- months of FY13/14, demand was 9.4% greater than projected. Groundwater use to date is 49.3% of demand, as we work to achieve our goal of 51.8% at the end of June. 4.8. Monthly Preventative Maintenance (PM) Report (To be provided at the meeting.) Mr. DeCriscio reported that our crews are on track to achieve our target PM percentages for the year. 4.9. Monthly Production Summary Report (To be provided at the meeting.)

Groundwater Producer Meeting Report Messrs. Conklin and DeCriscio reported on the Groundwater Producer meeting that they attended at OCWD on February 12. It was noted that OCWD will be making major purchases of untreated full - service water from MWD for recharge in the Anaheim basins. This will mitigate the overdraft of the basin and make it possible to increase the BPP to 72 %. 4.11. Status Report on Capital Projects in Progress Mr. Conklin reported on the status of capital projects currently in planning, design, and construction. 4.12 Future Agenda Items and Staff Tasks None. 5.

Draft IT Department Budget Mr. Vega presented the Draft Proposed Budget for the IT Department for Fiscal Year 2015 to the Committee. Mr. Vega explained that even though there is a 3% increase for Supplies and Services, the IT Departments overall budget was cut from the previous year due to a planned contract for GIS services assistance and thus not needing to fill the part -time GIS Technician position. The Committee approved the Draft Budget. 4.2. Draft Public Affairs Division Budget Mr. Micalizzi presented the Draft Proposed Budget for the Public Affairs Division for Fiscal Year 2015 to the Committee, pointing out a near 6% cut in supplies and services from last year. These cuts stem from cuts in professional development, travel and conferences and a less expensive visual display for the Lobby. The Committee approved the Draft Budget. 4.3. Storage Solution and Recovery Plan Outline: Phase 3 Archiving and Phase 4 Disaster Recovery (Verbal Report) Mr. Vega presented to the Committee an updated Storage Solution and Recovery Plan Outline focusing on Phase 3 and Phase 4.

Lindsey, Hernandez, Kiley and Collett provided their thoughts and suggestions on how to proceed to address the challenges facing the CAC and the City on this important matter. 6.3. Status of Cielo Vista and Esperanza Hills Development Projects Messrs.

There has been no new information from the County or the developers since those submittals. 6.4. Potential Sale of District Property on 4622 Plumosa Drive Mr. Conklin reported that the YLWD Board has directed him to pursue purchase offers from various parties. He has had discussions with two entities and is awaiting a new offer from one. 6.5. Potential Use of District Sites for Recreational Purposes Mr. Pulone briefed the new members of the Committee, noting that the purpose of this item was to determine if there is potential for recreational development at any YLWD sites. He noted that a City staff person visited all 14 of the District's reservoir sites, and that a couple of sites were identified that might have potential for park or recreational purposes. However, Mr. Pulone noted that the City has limited resources for park development and that there are already other City -owned sites identified for park development when budgets allow. Therefore, pursuing District sites for recreational development is not feasible at this time. Following discussion, the Committee supported this recommendation. 6.6. Status Report on Water Supply and Drought Conditions The Committee noted that Director Kiley made a Report on Water Supply and Drought Conditions at the February 18 City Council meeting. A handout was provided to the Committee that included the resolution approved by the YLWD Board on February 13 calling for enhanced water use efficiency efforts, and a copy of the power point presentation made by MWD and MWDOC Director Brett Barbre on that same issue.
