ACTION CALENDAR

General Manager Payne introduced the report.
On a motion by Director Collett, seconded by Director Armstrong, the Board
the Board of Directors voted 4-0 to approve Change Order No. 10 to J.E.
Grant General Contractors in the amount of $62,525.23 and a time extension
of 15 calendar days for construction of the New Administration Building, Job
No. 200313.
Hank Samaripa left the meeting at 9:04 a.m.
7. Consider a Policy on the Disposition of Unexpected Refunds from Outside
Agencies. General Manager Payne introduced the report. One change was made
to the report regarding costs associated with refunding to customers the
unexpected refunds received from outside agencies. A cost of ten cents was
determined to be the amount it would cost the District to recover costs associated
transmitting to customer accounts (23,387) the unexpected refunds. Director
Beverage recommended putting a notice in the District's newsletter if a refund was
received that was not sufficient to cover the District's costs of refunding the money
to customers. Director Armstrong asked that the Resolution include a method for
informing customers that a refund has been received. President Summerfield
wants to see a definition of "unexpected" as opposed to "refund". There was
discussion about: increases that come and need to be charged to the customers,
the formula to use for increases and whether anything under $1.00 should be
refunded. It was agreed the Finance-Accounting Committee would look at
Resolution 08-01 again to work on Section 4, to call the refund a pass through and
to eliminate the word "unexpected".
8. Consider a Policy on the Criteria Used for Determining the Basic Service Charge
Component of the Water Rate. General Manager Payne commented that this is a
follow-up to the Water Rate Hearing and how the District would define the basic
service charge of the water rate. This item was presented to the last Finance-
Accounting Committee meeting.
On a motion by Director Beverage, seconded by Director Armstrong, the
Board of Directors on a Roll Call voted 4-0, with Vice President Mills Absent,
to adopt Resolution No. 08-02, Resolution of the Yorba Linda Water District
on Setting Forth the Policy on the Criteria Used for Determining the Basic
Service Charge Component of the Water Rate.

Subject: 2 Year extension to the Professional Services Agreement with Sacramento
Advocates, Inc.

SUMMARY:
Sacramento Advocates, Inc. represents the District's interests as a lobbyist before the California
Legislature, the Governor's office and any and all agencies and departments of the state on an
as needed basis. The two year contract with Sacramento Advocates, Inc. has expired.
DISCUSSION:
With the current financial condition of the State of California, the continuous threat of keeping the
District's share of the ad valorem property taxes and the history of the State passing down
unfunded mandates on agencies such as ours, it is important the District remain active and have
representation in Sacramento to protect the interests of the District's customers.
Sacramento Advocates, Inc. has agreed to keep the same rates and terms for the next two
years. The retainer fee for such services is $3,000 per month with reimbursement of actual out-
of-pocket expenses, which is approximately $500 per year.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
Sacramento Advocates has provided legislative analysis and lobbying services to the District
since 1997. The current extension to the professional services agreement with Sacramento
Advocates, Inc. was approved by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2005.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approves a two year extension to the Professional Services
Agreement with Sacramento Advocates, Inc. with an effective date of March 13, 2008.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Executive-Administrative-Organizational Committee reviewed this issue at their meeting on
February 20, 2008.

100% of site lighting, installed the flagpole, 30% of site fencing and gates, 100% of stonework,
100% of irrigation, 56% of landscaping, 97% of interior cabinets, 100% of vertical folding wall,
80% of plumbing finish, 95% of the electrical fixtures, and 99% of HVAC equipment installation.
The status of the construction contract with Grant General Contractors is as follows:
• The current contract is $6,767,889 and 375 calendar days starting March 19, 2007.
• If approved Progress Payment No. 12 is $736,267.22 (10.9% of the total contract
amount), less 10% retention of $73,626.72 for a net payment of $662,640.50.
• Total payments to date including retention are $6,313,196.37 (93.3% of the total
contract amount).
• As of February 29, 2008, 347 calendar days were used (92.5% of the contract
duration).
Staff and C3, the District's construction manager for the project, reviewed the contractor's
progress payment request and recommend approval. A copy of Progress Payment No. 12 is
attached for your reference.
The Board of Directors approved the sale of $10.2M in revenue bonds for two key projects in
2003, of which $3.2M was allocated for the Administration Building and $7.OM was allocated for
the Highland Reservoir Replacement. With approval of the construction budget on January 25,
2007, the Board authorized a transfer from the annexation fund for up to $5M to fund the
balance of this project.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the award of a construction contract to
J.E. Grant General Contractors for the construction of the District's new administration building
at the Richfield site. The Board has approved ten progress payments to date, the latest of
which, Progress Payment No. 11, was approved on February 14, 2008. The Board approved
Change Order No. 10 on February 28, 2008.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Progress Payment No. 12 in the net amount of $662,640.50 to J.E. Grant General
Contractors for construction of the New Administration Building, Job No. 200313.

Subject: Declaration of Restrictive Covenants Agreement - Livorno Lane
SUMMARY:
Occasionally, staff receives and reviews requests for placement of minor structures and
improvements within District dedicated easements. To insure the District's use of these
easements is not unduly restricted, the District requires execution of a recorded Declaration of
Restrictive Covenants. This document acknowledges the limitations of the allowed joint use and
establishes the responsibility of the property owner and their successors for the maintenance
and replacement costs of any improvements that may be damaged or removed by the District in
order to gain access to the public facilities within the easement.
DISCUSSION:
The District has a 15-feet wide dedicated drain line easement along the easterly property line of
20091 Livorno Lane. This easement contains a storm drain pipeline owned and operated by the
District, which carries flow from the overflow, sump drains and reservoir under drain system
from the Fairmont Reservoir. The property owners, Mr. & Mrs. James Sain, have requested an
encroachment within this easement consisting of a combination 18-inch high block wall with 4-
feet high wrought iron fencing. Staff has reviewed this request and has determined that the
improvements do not unduly restrict the District's continued use of this easement. Mr. & Mrs.
James Sain have agreed to and executed the attached Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
further protecting the District's rights to remove any and all portions of these improvements if
required to maintain and repair the 18-inch drain line with no cost to the District for any repair or
replacement of the encroaching improvements. The Declaration of Restrictive Covenants is
attached for consideration by the Board of Directors and execution if approved.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors has considered and approved similar requests throughout the District's
service area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the President and Secretary to execute the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants
Agreement with Mr. & Mrs. James Sain, subject to approval as to form by General Counsel.

RECITALS
A. The Owner is the legal owner of that certain real property located at 20091 Livorno
day of March, 2008, by and between YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT ("YLWD"), a public
agency, created and operating under the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code, and Mr.
& Mrs. James Sain ("Owner"), with reference to the following recitals of fact:
Lane, Yorba Linda, California 92886 ("Subject Property"), which is more particularly described as
follows:
Lot 33 of Tract 16760 in the City of Yorba Linda, County of Orange, State
of California, as shown on a map thereof, recorded in Book 871, Pages 24 to
30 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the office of the County Recorder of said
County.
B. YLWD owns an Easement, as identified on Instrument No. 2005000854618, recorded on
October 25, 2005, in Book 871, Pages 24 through 30 in Official Records of Orange County, California
("Easement"), across a portion of the Subject Property. Within the Easement, YLWD owns and
maintains a 18-inch reservoir drain pipeline ("District Facilities")
C. The Owner desires to construct an 18-inch high block wall with 4-feet high wrought iron
fencing (collectively herein referred to as "Improvements") within the Easement area (hereinafter,
"Encroachment"), as illustrated in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated by reference
herewith. The proposed wall encroaches on a 15-feet wide easement over an existing 18-inch drain
line which was constructed in September 2005.
D. YLWD conditionally consents to Encroachment of the Improvements within the
Easement area as stipulated in this Declaration. Owner is aware that the Improvements may lead to
problems affecting and/or interfering with YLWD's use of the Easement.
E. Although the construction of the 18-inch high block wall with 4-feet high wrought iron
fencing within the Easement area may interfere or restrict YLWD's Easement rights, the Owner wishes
to construct and use the Improvement within or along the Easement area.
NOW, THEREFORE, incorporating the above recitals, YLWD and Owner declare as follows:
1. Covenant Running with Land. This Declaration constitutes a covenant running with the land as
provided by the California Civil Code section 1468 and shall benefit, burden, and bind the
successive owners of the Subject Property and the Easement.
0 2. Successors and Assiins Bound. Since Owner wishes to retain the Encroachment, this
Declaration obligates the current and future owners of the Subject Property to remedy any future
adverse events and to fund any necessary maintenance costs on the Easement and/or Subject
Property that may arise in full or in part due to the existence, construction, or damages caused by
the Encroachment.
3. Damages to District Facilities. Owner assumes full responsibility, liability and shall pay for
any cost(s) or damage(s) to the District Facilities and appurtenant structures, arising from or
related to the construction, existence, and/or use of the Improvements. YLWD shall not be
responsible for any cost(s) or damage(s) to the District Facilities and appurtenant structures that
arise from the Encroachment.
4. DamaLyes to Third Parties. Owner, its successors or assigns, agrees to indemnify and hold
YLWD, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants, harmless against any third
party claims related to or arising out of the construction, existence and/or use of the
Improvements.
•
•
5. Damages to Improvements. Owner acknowledges that the Improvement may be damaged or
demolished to permit reasonable access to or reasonable work within and under the Easement
area. YLWD, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants, shall not be responsible
for any damage(s) to or because of the Improvement which results from YLWD's exercise of
rights under the Easement. Owner, its successors or assigns, waives all known, unknown, and
future claims, liabilities, causes of action, and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys'
fees) against YLWD, its officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants, for losses and
damages to the Improvement and from any obligation to protect, preserve, repair, or replace the
Improvement. Construction, use, protection, repair and replacement of the Improvement shall be
entirely the risk and obligation of Owner, its successors or assigns, even if damage is caused by
YLWD.
6. Recording of Agreement. This Declaration shall be recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
the County of Orange, California, and shall constitute notice to all successors and assigns of the
title to the Subject Property of the rights and obligations set forth herein.

Subject: Amendment to Construction Administration Services for New Admin. Building
SUMMARY:
The new District Administration Building, located at the Richfield operations facility, is nearly
complete and the tentative move in date is April 11, 2008. The construction administration team
of Gillis & Associates Architects, Inc. and C3 Construction Managers has provided support
services to the District through the project construction period, which has extended three
months beyond their original fee estimate. The project team has requested a contract
amendment to continue support to the District through the project completion and close out
activities.
DISCUSSION:
J.E. Grant General Contractors is scheduled to complete the District's new administration
building by March 28, 2008. The initial construction agreement allowed for 360 calendar days,
which has since been extended through approved change orders to 375 calendar days. Grant's
original construction schedule estimated completion by December 2007 or ten months total. The
fee for professional services with Gillis & Associates Architects and C3 Construction Managers
for construction administration and support services was based on the estimated construction
duration of 10 months plus costs to support completion of punch list items and deficiencies, final
contract negotiations and final progress payments, record drawings and other project close out
activities. With project change orders and complications, Grant has used all 60-days of float he
had in his original schedule plus the additional 15 days allowed by approved change orders to
get to the current scheduled completion date of March 28. This represents nearly three months
more than the original estimate by Gillis and C3 for providing support construction administration
services.
Gillis and Associates provided a proposal for professional services to the District in October,
2006 to assist with the project bidding and contractor pre-qualification process, project
management, construction administration, specialty inspection and project close-out. The
District and Gillis executed a professional services agreement in the amount of $339,582, for
services estimated through January 31, 2008. Gillis and C3 have exhausted their original fee
and have negotiated with staff for a fair contract amendment in the amount of $69,396 to
continue providing their support services through the project completion period, which has
extended into April 2008.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a construction agreement with J. E.
Grant General Contractors in the amount of $6,445,828, amended the professional services
agreement with Gillis & Associates Architects, Inc. for a fee not to exceed $340,000 for
Construction Administration, Construction Manager Services, Interior Design and Furniture
Selection and approved a construction budget of $8M.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment to the professional services agreement in the amount of $69,396 with
Gillis & Associates Architects, Inc. for additional Construction Administration, Construction
Management and support services through project completion of the District's New
Administration Building, Job No. 200313.

Subject: Pressure Zone Reconfiguration and Sub-Zone Extension Projects
SUMMARY:
The 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan identified minimum standards of service for
pressure and flow that the District would strive to achieve. The plan further identified eight
areas within the entire District where these service levels are not currently realized. The
District's Adopted Five Year Water System Capital Projects Plan as modified by Board approval
on September 3, 2007, identifies two capital improvement projects, the Zone 4C Reconfiguration
and the Extension of Pressure Zone 4C Reconfiguration, which collectively address three of the
eight areas throughout the District that experience low pressures or low flow during periods of
high demand.
DISCUSSION:
For several years the District has monitored and studied the causes and potential fixes for
diminishing service levels in Pressure Zone 3 of Improvement District Number 1 (ID No. 1). Staff
and RBF Consulting recently completed The Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3.
This study refined work done in previous years using advanced hydraulic network modeling
software with detailed pad elevation information and engineering analysis and studied the
impacts and combined effectiveness of proposed projects on the service levels in Areas 1, 2
and 3. The study considered six alternatives including projects propose in the 2005 Domestic
Water System Master Plan, past and current Five Year Capital Improvement Plans and private
plumbing improvements to determine the most cost effective solution to the low pressure and
low flow problems in these areas.
The Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 recommends a combination of pressure zone
valve changes, parallel distribution system pipelines and reassignment of an existing pressure
reducing station to create a new pressure zone that improves flow and pressures while
minimizing the need to install individual pressure regulators in hundreds of homes that would
have required them under previously recommended projects. Staff recommends moving forward
with this alternative and further recommends combining two projects identified in the current
Five Year Capital Projects Plan under one design and construction project. A copy of the study
prepared by RBF Consulting is available in the office of the General Manager. Exhibits from this
study are attached to this report for reference.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On September 13, 2007 the Board of Directors authorized staff to modify the Current Five Year
Plan Capital Improvement Projects List and the Adopted Budget for Fiscal Years 2007-2009 by
adding the Zone 4 Reconfiguration Project for the Twin Peaks Area of East Lake Village. The
Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee recommended staff prepare and present a
detailed project analysis, project schedule and cost benefit consideration for several project
alternative solutions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 prepared by RBF
Consulting and authorize staff to solicit proposals for the design of the combined projects
identified as Alternative Six in this study, Job Nos. 200220 and 200710.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee has reviewed and discussed the Zone
Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 and supports staff's recommendation to move
forward with the combined project.

SUMMARY:
With the pending move to the new administration building at 1717 Miraloma Avenue the District
needs to order new stationary, business cards, envelopes, etc. to reflect the new address, city,
zip code and telephone numbers. Since these changes are currently being arranged, a question
arises whether the District should go one step further and develop a new logo that reflects our
identity and image in the communities we serve. The District's current logo was developed in
1989. The logo was designed as YLWD. The logo was later modified to drop the letter D. (See
attachment).
DISCUSSION:
The District's stationary supplies are being allowed to dwindle in anticipation of the move in mid
April, and the District needs to order new supplies. With this said, staff contracted with Alain
Jarmar Design to develop several layouts of new logos. These layouts will be presented at the
Board meeting. Staff is not seeking approval of a certain design, but a decision on whether the
Board of Directors wants to change the logo.
In addition to updating the District supplies, the District is working on the following projects:
✓ Developing a new website. The District has entered into a professional Services
Agreement with tWrite, Inc. to design a new District Web-site. As the website project is
nearing completion, the consultant needs a decision from staff on whether to incorporate
the current logo or change the layout to incorporate the new logo. The website is
anticipated to be completed in conjunction with the opening of the new Administration
building in mid April.
✓ Signage at the District's new Administration Building. The District's general contractor,
Grant Construction, has been instructed to stop work on the main entrance sign until the
decision about the logo has been finalized. If the logo is changed, staff will ask for a
proposal to modify the logo section on the entrance sign. In addition, if a new logo is
approved, staff recommends modifying the entrance sign at the main entrance to the field
headquarters on Richfield Road to be identical to the sign on Miraloma Ave. Otherwise the
entrance sign will stay as is.
APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF D,RECTnI;,,
OF THE YORBA LINCAWATER DISTRICT
✓ Updating the District's public information video. The District has entered into a professional
Services Agreement with Starling productions to update the District's public information
video. The current video was done in 2002 and is outdated. The new video will incorporate
the new building, the entrance sign, and several District vehicles such as the camera truck,
the new sewer jet vactor, and other District facilities. The video project is anticipated to be
completed in conjunction with the dedication of the new Administration building in mid May.
✓ The District will be ordering six new vehicles identified in the current budget as part of the
vehicle replacement program. Each of the District's vehicles has the District's logo
installed on the sides of the driver and passenger doors to identify the District's field
representatives. If approved, the new decals would be added to the new vehicles and the
logos on the current fleet of 59 vehicles would be gradually changed, except for those
vehicles to be disposed of this year which staff would not change.
If the District is ever going to change the logo, the time is now. If the Board decides to keep the
same logo, staff will order new supplies to reflect the changes in location only, stay with the
approved design on the entrance sign, and use the existing logo on the web site and keep the
current logo on all vehicles.
The estimated cost to change the logo is:

This issue of designing a new logo has been discussed with the Public-Information-Technology
Committee on several occasions.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The District developed the current logo in 1989. A name change and logo was considered by
the Board in the late 1990's. The Board decided to leave the name and logo the same at that
time.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize staff to continue to work with the Public Information
Technology Committee on developing and implementing a new District logo.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This issue has been presented to the Public-Information-Technology Committee on several
occasions. The Committee does not have a recommendation on a final design at this time.

Subject: 2008 Board of Directors Goals Workshop
SUMMARY:
Every year at this time the Board of Directors holds a goals workshop to discuss current and
future issues impacting the District.
DISCUSSION:
With this being an off-budget year, there are many issues staff would like direction on prior to
starting the budget process at the end of this year. These issues include but are not limited to:
1) Single year budget versus two year budget; 2) future State of California property taxes; 3)
Committee structure and policy on attendance; 4) policy of adding items to the agenda; 5)
whether to offer water conservation incentives and/or rebates; 6) staffing succession plan; 7)
seeking new water supplies; and any other issue the Board may want to discuss in a workshop
format.
Should the Board of Directors decide to conduct a Goals Workshop later this year, it is
recommended the Board provide direction to the Executive-Administrative-Organizational
Committee so that a format and list of issues may be finalized.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The last goals workshop was conducted on March 15, 2007.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors set a date in October or November of 2008.
