7. Wells Capital Investment report for the third quarter of fiscal year 2007/2008.
Keith Khorey reviewed his first quarter 2008 performance report stating there was a
lot of market activity. AAA bonds have downgraded, spending is down, and we are
probably in a recession that we realistically cannot expect consumers to `spend' us
out of, aside from some spending of tax checks. Midwest and Southern states are
the most affected by housing issues, but we expect markets to open this summer,
and the next meeting of the feds is expected to cut interest rates again.

the work on the Administration building. He reviewed the recommendation and

General Manager Payne asked that the Board please let staff know of any problems

generic will serve letter stating this development lies within our service area.
Developers still need approval for any project. The King family appears to have
overstated the letter, saying we agreed to provide water and are investigating

Subject: Amendment to Consultants Agreement with Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc. and
Professional Services Agreement to Butier Engineering, Inc. for the Lakeview Reservoir Project
SUMMARY:
On September 8, 2005, Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc. (Parsons) was authorized to provide
engineering design, construction management, inspection, and engineering construction support
services (geotechnical and engineering survey) for the 8 million gallon (MG) component of the
12 MG Lakeview Reservoir and for the 5,000 gallon per minute (GPM) Lakeview Booster Pump
Station, a multiple valve pressure reducing station and a sodium hypochlorite disinfection
booster system. The total authorized amount was estimated at $1,689,458 based on previous
projects of similar complexity and a combined project under one construction contract using a
single set of plans and specifications.
DISCUSSION:
Parsons currently is providing construction administration and inspection services for the 8 MG
Lakeview Reservoir Project, which is being built by SSC Construction, Inc., as part of the capital
improvements required for the Vista Del Verde development. The project began on June 18,
2007, to be completed in 487 consecutive calendar days. Parsons was contracted to provide
construction management services for both the reservoir and the new 5000 GPM Lakeview
Booster Station, which had two different contractors and overlapping schedules. Parsons budget
and time was originally estimated based on these two project schedules. Since the Lakeview
Reservoir Project started later than originally anticipated, and will also have some non-
compensable days added, the completion date is now estimated to be in December 2008.
Staff proposes to extend the current Parsons contract to continue services for inspection, design
clarifications and shop drawing reviews. To continue with construction project management staff
proposes to enter into a new professional services agreement with Butier for the remainder of
the project. Authorization for the services listed below at the funding levels estimated will
provide for continued construction management, inspection, design clarification, shop drawing
review and close-out through completion of the Lakeview Reservoir Project.
An additional $199,350 to enter into a Professional Services Agreement with Butier to
provide construction management services which will include coordinated project
administration and management, site meetings, inspection scheduling, change order
and progress payment reviews and recommendations.
• Additional hours for Parsons to continue review of shop drawings, provide design
clarifications and administration costs for $152,676.
• Additional hours added for on-site resident inspection, including civil inspection,
electrical and instrumentation inspections for $215,250.
• Additional amount of $110,000 for the geotechnical sub-consultant for concrete and
soils inspection.
The additional authorization outlined above will bring the total for construction management,
inspection and support services to $1,825,932 for the completed booster pump station project
and to complete the reservoir construction.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On January 27, 2005, the Board authorized staff to proceed with the Bastanchury (now
Lakeview) Reservoir and Booster Station Site Optimization Plan and on February 24, 2005, the
Board authorized execution of a Consultants Agreement with Parsons Water Infrastructure Inc.
for $88,508 to commence with a Project Feasibility / Basis of Design Report for the project. On
September 8, 2005, the Board authorized the General Manager to issue an amendment to the
Consultants Agreement with Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc., in the amount not to exceed
$1,689,458 for the design, construction management, inspection, and construction geotechnical
and survey services for the 8 MG Bastanchury (Lakeview) Reservoir and the 5,000 gallon per
minute Booster Pump Station. On June 22, 2006, the Board approved Amendment No. 2, to the
Consultants Agreement with Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc., in the amount of $110,680 for
additional work to complete the design of the 8 MG Lakeview Reservoir and the 5000 gallon per
minute Lakeview Booster Station Pump Station, Job No. 200505.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve additional authorization for Amendment No. 3 to the Consultants Agreement with
Parsons Water & Infrastructure Inc., in the amount of $477,926 for additional work to review
shop drawings, provide design clarifications and inspection services; and authorize the
President and Secretary to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Butier in the
amount of $199,350 for Construction Management and Contract Administration for the 8 MG
Lakeview Reservoir Project, Job No. 200704.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee reviewed this matter at their meeting on May
1, 2008 and supports staff's recommendation to extend Parsons existing contract and approve a
new Professional Services Agreement with Butier.

Subject: Professional Services Agreement for the Zone Reconfiguration & Sub-Zone Extension
Project
SUMMARY:
Yorba Linda Water District has observed and monitored low water pressures occurring in three
locations of the Zone 3A (HGL of 675 ft.) service area. These areas were identified as low
pressure areas in the 2005 Domestic Water System Master Plan prepared by Carollo
Engineers. The Water Master Plan also identified minimum standards of service for pressure
and flow that the District would strive to achieve. Many homes located in this area were
constructed on pads with relatively high elevations, and currently several residents are using
individual booster pumps to increase their service pressures.
DISCUSSION:
A Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3 was completed by RBF Consulting
Engineers and the results of this study were submitted in a report dated March 12, 2008. The
objective of this study was to propose the most cost effective method to resolve these low
pressure areas. Staff solicited proposals to provide design and bid services from five
engineering firms: Bureau Veritas, Psomas, Metcalf & Eddy, RBF and Tetra Tech. Services
requested were based on Alternative 6 of the Zone Reconfiguration Study for Areas 1, 2 and 3.
The District received proposals from four engineering firms beginning late March 2008 with
Metcalf & Eddy respectfully declining the proposal request. Staff reviewed the four proposals
received and evaluated them based on project understanding, scope of work, sub consultant(s),
man-hour allocation, the team's overall experience on similar projects and ability to interact with
District staff. The following table summarizes the results:

After reviewing the proposals received, staff found that they were very close in overall ranking
with the proposal from Psomas representing the best value for the project needs.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
On June 28, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted Budgets for Fiscal Years 2007/08 and
2008/09 and approved the Current Five Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2007-2012. 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. On
March 13, 2008, the Board of Directors received and filed the Zone Reconfiguration Study for
Areas 1, 2 and 3 prepared by RBF Consulting and authorized staff to solicit proposals for the
design of the combined projects identified as Alternative Six in this study.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the President and Secretary to execute a Professional Services Agreement with
Psomas for a fee not to exceed $113,676 to provide design and bid services for the Zone
Reconfiguration and Sub Zone Extension Projects, Job Nos. 200220 and 200710.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning-Engineering-Operations Committee reviewed this matter at their meeting on May
1, 2008 and supports staff's recommendation.

Subject: Professional Service Agreements and Proposed Construction Budget for the Highland
Reservoir Replacement Project.
SUMMARY:
The Highland Reservoir is a critical element of the District's water supply chain. The existing
structure has surpassed its useful life and has become a potential water quality and
maintenance liability. Increasing the size and reliability of the Highland Reservoir, as
recommended in the District's Water Master Plan, improves system integrity, service reliability
and secures flexibility in the District's service system by further optimizing groundwater
production and transmission capabilities.
DISCUSSION:
On December 22, 2005, the District entered into a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with
Carollo Engineers for the Highland Reservoir Replacement Project design and bidding support
services. Carollo completed the plans and specifications for the project and the District received
competitive bids for construction on January 24, 2008. The Board of Directors awarded a
construction contract in the amount of $9,049,364 to Schuler Engineering Corporation on April
10, 2008 for construction of the project.
Construction Management and Support Services
For the construction phase of the project, staff solicited proposals for construction management
and inspection (CM & 1) support services from engineering firms including Metcalf & Eddy, Tetra
Tech, RBF, Carollo Engineers, and Butier Engineering. All five firms submitted proposals by
November 8, 2007. Staff reviewed and evaluated the proposals based on project
understanding, scope of work, similar project experience, sub consultant(s) or specialized
associate(s), man hour allocation, the team's overall experience on similar projects and the
project manager's and inspector's ability to interface with staff. The proposals and staff ranking
of the proposals received are as follows:
Enaineering Consultant Proposed CM&I Cost Rank
Carollo Engineers $895,833 1
Tetra Tech $767,745 2
Butier Engineering $957,186 3
RBF $798,712 4
Metcalf & Eddy $731,872 5
During review and analysis of the proposals, staff determined that the District can achieve better
coordination with our Operations Department throughout the duration of the project and a more
cost effective team approach by having the District's Senior Inspector provide the majority of the
necessary daily inspection services and daily reports for the project. Based on construction
experiences for past capital projects, inspection services can be performed in-house without
giving up quality of work and intent of design by working as a team with the design engineer, in-
house project manager and a hired professional construction project manager. Therefore, staff
determined that our own inspector will be utilized for this project.
At the recommendation of management staff, interviews were conducted with the five
engineering consulting firms after each confirmed that they would be willing to incorporate the
District's inspector into the project team and modify their proposals accordingly. After
considering the review of the initial proposals, combined with the results of the interview
process, staff confirmed that Carollo Engineers best met the needs of the District for this project.
Carollo revised their original proposal in consideration of staff's plan to utilize our in-house
inspector, worked with staff to determine where overlap and backup may be appropriate,
identified additional services that may be needed and will be provided only on an "as-needed"
basis and resubmitted their proposal in the amount of $605,856. A copy of the revised
estimated construction management and engineering support services proposal is attached.
Geotechnical Consultant Services
Staff solicited, received and evaluated proposals for geotechnical and construction materials
testing services on February 22, 2008. The proposals and staff ranking of the proposals
received are as follows:
Geotechnical Firms Proposed Cost Rank
Leighton Consulting, Inc. $86,200 1
MTGL $117,830 2
Kleinfelder "declined to propose"
After reviewing the proposals received, staff finds Leighton Consulting, Inc. more suitable to
meet the District's needs on this project and recommends executing a Professional Services
Agreement with their firm.
Environmental Consultant Services
In compliance with the Adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff requested a proposal for a
pre-construction nesting bird survey and retention of a qualified historian and paleontologist
from BonTerra Consulting. This firm prepared the California Environmental Quality Act
compliance documentation and is very familiar with the environmental requirements of the
project. BonTerra submitted a proposal for these services with an estimated not-to-exceed fee
of $22,251. A copy of BonTerra's proposal letter dated March 11, 2008 is attached.
With the PSA's recommended in this report staff further recommends the Board of Directors
adopt the following construction budget for the Highland Reservoir Replacement Project:
General Contractor Contract Cost
Schuler Engineering, General Contractor $9,049,346
Contingency (10%) $904,935

Highland Reservoir Replacement Project (YLWD Project No. 200309)
Dear Mr. de los Reyes:
As requested during our meeting on April 16, 2008, we have revised our proposal dated March 19,
2008 to provide additional engineering support services to complement District staff during
construction. These additional services include: (1) project administration for the field engineering
services (2) assistance to the District inspection staff by a resident engineer, and (3) assistance
during start-ups.
It is our understanding that District staff will provide full-time inspection during construction. Carollo
Engineers (Engineer) will provide engineering services and supplement the District resources with a
resident engineer on a part-time basis to assist the District inspection staff in contract administration
when required during construction. Environmental survey, construction survey, geotechnical
inspection, and material testing provided by third-party services will be directly contracted and
coordinated by the District when required.
The engineering support services consist of office and field engineering services. The office
engineering services include review of shop drawings, responses to requests for information, review
of change order proposals, preparation of record drawings, and project management and
coordination. The field engineering services in addition to the office engineering services include
project meetings, field visits, part-time resident engineering services, electrical and instrumentation
inspections, start-up assistance, and preparation of record drawings. Our subconsultants involved
during design, including DLT&V, (electrical and instrumentation), EnviroCon (structural) and BMLA
(landscape and irrigation), will continue to provide the engineering services as required during
construction.
The appended Exhibits include the items as indicated below:
1. Exhibit A - Scope of Work

HIGHLAND RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT PROJECT, JOB NO. 200309
March 11, 2008
BonTerra Consulting is implementing the mitigation measures described in the Final Initial
Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration - Highland Reservoir Replacement Project, Job
No. 200309. These measures include pre-construction nesting bird surveys and on-call
historical and on-call paleontological monitoring. The nesting bird surveys must be conducted
prior to initiation of grading.
TASK 1 PRE-CONSTRUCTION NESTING BIRD SURVEYS
Pre-construction surveys for nesting birds will be conducted no more than 3 days prior to
grading or construction during the period from February 1 to August 31. A qualified biologist will
conduct a field survey to determine whether any native bird species are nesting within the
project site or adjacent areas. If nesting birds are found, locations will be mapped and a
determination will be made on the nesting stage of the bird. In addition, if nesting birds are
found, one of the following means to avoid nest failure due to project activities will be utilized:
(1) avoid construction activities during the period of February 1 to August 31 or (2) weekly
surveys will be conducted by a qualified biologist to check the status of the nesting bird. All
project-related work will be delayed until there is an absence of nesting or an avoidance all
construction activities within 300 feet of nesting habitat (within 500 feet of raptor nests) until the
nest is vacated, juveniles have fledged, and there is no evidence of a second nesting attempt.
Limits of avoidance will be flagged or staked with construction fencing. This scope assumes
1 survey visit will be conducted. If additional follow-up visits are necessary to check on the
status of a nest, additional survey visits will be billed on a time-and-materials basis after prior
approval.
Upon completion of the survey efforts, a letter report will be prepared to document the survey
findings. The letter will include a methods and results section with locations and descriptions of
special status species found and recommendations for appropriate further actions. A copy of
this report will be provided to the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) within
30 days of the end of grading and construction or by October 1, whichever comes first. Any
special status species observed will be reported to the CDFG's California Natural Diversity
Database (CNDDB) at the time the report is submitted to the Client. This scope assumes 1 final
version of the letter report. Additional versions of the report will be billed on a time-and-materials
basis.

Subject: S&S Annexation to YLWD
SUMMARY:
It is recommended that the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 08-03 initiating proceedings
for annexation of approximately 176 acres to the Yorba Linda Water District, and find that the
environmental impacts of the proposed development have been adequately addressed and
authorize payment of LAFCO's filing fee in the amount of $7,900.
DISCUSSION:
Shapell Industries has requested annexation of their property to the Yorba Linda Water District
for the purposes of providing water and sewer service to their proposed development. An exhibit
illustrating the location of the proposed annexation is attached.
Current LAFCO policies require that the applicant (YLWD) defend, LAFCO against any claim,
action, or proceeding relating to the proposed annexation. The pre-annexation agreement
requires S&S to defend, indemnify and hold the District harmless should there be a challenge.
Resolution No. 08-03 includes required language consenting to zero tax exchange between the
County of Orange and the District.
Staff reviewed the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), as a responsible agency, and
provided input with regard to water and sewer facilities for the proposed development. The
District's input was included in the final EIR that has been certified by the City of Yorba Linda for
the S&S project.
Resolution No. 08-03 includes a finding that the environmental impacts of the proposed
development, including annexation of the S&S property into the District, have been adequately
addressed in the final EIR certified by the City of Yorba Linda and that no additional
environmental review is required. Staff concurs with this finding. A copy of the EIR is on file in
the Office of the General Manager.
District Legal Counsel has prepared all documents in relation to the proposed annexation.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board of Directors authorized the President and Secretary to execute the Pre-Annexation
Agreement between Yorba Linda Water District and Shapell Industries, Inc. on June 22, 2006.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 08-03 initiating proceedings for annexation of

SUMMARY:
With the move to the new administration building at 1717 E. Miraloma Avenue, the District
needs to order new stationery, business cards, envelopes, etc., to reflect the new address, city,
zip code and telephone numbers. Since these changes are currently being arranged, the Board
has concurred with staff that the District should go one step further and re-invigorate our
"branding" to reflect our identity and image in the communities we serve. Due to the fact that
water is so often a "silent service"- the tap is turned and water comes out- strong branding
defines to the public what they can "count on" from the District, and allows for greater trust,
credit for accomplishments, increased communication and the downplay of negative issues.
Currently, the District's brand is not as strong as it could be, with the majority of the District's
identity focused on a logo. Typically, a logo is seen as an identifier only, rather than the essence
of the brand. 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 have been allowed to dwindle in anticipation of the "re-
branding" and staff has contracted with Alain Jamar Design to develop several layouts of new
logos, images, and standardized typography. The Public Information-Technology Committee's
recommended version of these layouts will be presented at the Board meeting.
In addition to updating the District supplies, the District is working on the following projects:
• Developing a new website. The Public Information-Technology Committee has opted to
incorporate the new logo, images and messaging into the new website to further
complement the District's new image and "branding". The website is currently running
and available to the public as a main source of information on the District.
APPR<M BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
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 re-branding has been finalized. If the re-branding is approved, staff
will ask for a proposal to modify 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.
• 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 July.
• 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 re-invigorate the District's branding, the time is now. If the Board
decides not to approve re-branding, 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 revise the branding is:

This issue of re-branding the District's image 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. The branding of the District's image was not discussed at that time. The Board approved
the consideration of a logo change through a recommendation of the Public Information-
Technology Committee on March 27, 2008.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approves the re-branding of the District's image through design of
the logo, identifiers, stationery and business cards brought forth by the Public Information-
Technology Committee.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The Committee recommends that the Board approve the re-branding of the District's image the
design of the logo, identifiers, stationary and business cards brought forth by the Committee.

RE First Report on 2008 Legislative Bills
Enclosed please find the first Legislative Report for the 2008 legislative session of the
California Legislature. The bills selected are those which we think should be of interest to one or
more of our water agency clients. The individual bill summaries are extracted from the bills
themselves and from information obtained from the Association of California Water Agencies or
from other sources.
This year, solving the renewed state budget crisis takes center stage in Sacramento 2008.
The Legislative Analyst's Office proposal in February to take property taxes from enterprise
water and waste water districts in order to fund county probation department supervision of low-
risk criminal offenders released from state prisons could be problematic for water agencies. In
addition, funding for surface storage reservoirs and other wet water projects at the state level and
the Governor's plans for the Delta are also being discussed.
We have organized the bills into subject categories, provided a subject Table of Contents
and provided a numerical order Index. We have access to bill text and other information if more
detail is needed or if there are questions on the summary provided.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT FOR 2008
A. PROPERTY TAX ALLOCATION: REVENUE AND COLLECTION PROCEDURES
In February 2008, the Legislative Analyst's Office ("LAO") unveiled a proposal to take property taxes
from enterprise water and waste water districts in order to fund county probation department
supervision of low-risk criminal offenders released from state prisons. This shift of property tax
revenues to pay for this transfer of responsibility from the state to counties would be accomplished by
creating a Public Safety Realignment Account ("PSRA") in each county. Approximately $188 million
of property tax revenue would be transferred each year into these PSRAs in perpetuity. This shift is
similar to the ERAF-shift that affected enterprise special district twice in the last several years, except
that this shift would be permanent. Proposition 1 A, passed by the voters in 2004, was intended to
place limitations on these types of property tax revenue shifts to help fund state level obligations.
According to the LAO, this raid would not violate the provisions of Proposition IA.
However, a review of Proposition IA's language and history suggests that the property tax
"realignment" proposed by the LAO may violate Proposition IA. Proposition IA, passed by the
voters in 2004, was intended to place limitations on these types of property tax revenue shifts to help
fund state level obligations. We will continue to track developments in this area.
B. WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT/WATER PROJECTS
In our last report for 2007 we mentioned that major water bills, such as SB 59 (Cogdill -
Reliable Water Supply Bond Act of 2008), failed passage and in response the Governor called a
special session in an attempt to place a bond proposal on the February 2008 ballot for approval by the
voters. However, both of those water bills, SBX2 3 (Cogdill - Reliable Water Supply Bond Act of
2008) and a competing bill - SBX2 2 (Perata - the Safe Drinking Water Act of 2008) considered
during the special session also failed passage.
This year, Sen. Mike Machado, has proposed a bond containing elements of Sen. Perata's
proposal. Sen. Machado's $6.8 billion bond proposal (SB X 2 6) contains provisions for water storage
and Delta protection. Meanwhile, the Governor has stated his intent to direct the Department of
Water Resources to proceed with the NEPA/CEQA analysis on at least four alternatives for Delta
conveyance (no new conveyance facility, a dual conveyance facility, an isolated facility, and
substantial improvements and protections of the existing water export system - a "through Delta"
alternative).

Water conservation
This bill would require the department of water resources to establish a numeric water conservation
target for the state, initially for 2030, that provides for the maximum feasible and cost-effective
increase in water conservation. The department of water resources would be required to provide a list
of technically feasible water conservation measures and water suppliers would be required to adopt
those measures where locally cost effective or implement alternative measures that achiever equal or
greater water savings.

D. EMINENT DOMAIN
Two opposing ballot measures were qualified for the June 2008 ballot. Proposition 98 is sponsored by
the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Proposition 99 is being promoted by the California League
of Cities, the California Redevelopment Association and other government groups.
As described by the Secretary of State's Office, Proposition 98:
"Bars state and local governments from condemning or damaging private
property for private uses. Prohibits rent control and similar measures. Prohibits
deference to government in property rights cases. Defines "just compensation."
Requires an award of attorneys fees and costs if a property owner obtains a
judgment for more than the amount offered by the government. Requires
government to offer to original owner of condemned property the right to
repurchase property at condemned price when property is put to substantially
different use than was publicly stated."
As described by the Secretary of State's Office, the other measure, Proposition 99:
"Bars state and local governments from using eminent domain to acquire an
owner-occupied residence, as defined, for conveyance to a private person or
business entity. Creates exceptions for public work or improvement, public
health and safety protection, and crime prevention."
If Proposition 99 receives more votes than Proposition 98, it will become law even if a majority of the
voters support Proposition 98 as well.

F. BROWN ACT/PUBLIC RECORDS
F.1 SB 1732 (Romero) Local Agencies
d
The Ralph M. Brown Act requires that all meetings of a legislative body of a local agency be open an
public and all persons be permitted to attend unless a closed session is authorized. 'The act prohibits
any use of direct communication, personal intermediaries, or technological devices that is employed
by a majority of the members of the legislative body to develop a collective concurrence as to action
to be taken on an item, with an exception for an authorized teleconference. In Wolfe v. City of
Fremont, (2006) 144 Cal.App.4th 533, an appellate court held that a violation of this prohibition
occurs only if a series of meetings by members of a body results in a collective concurrence.
This bill is similar to SB 964, which was vetoed by the Governor last year. In doing so he stated that
although the bill sought to solve a perceived defect in the Brown Act addressed in Wolfe, it "imposed
an impractical standard for compliance on local officials and could potentially prohibit
communication among officials and agency staff."
Like last year, this bill would instead prohibit a majority of members of a legislative body of a local
agency from using, outside a meeting authorized by the act, a series of communications of any kind,
directly or through intermediaries, to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item of business that is
within the subject matter jurisdiction of the legislative body. It also would state the Legislature's
declaration that it disapproves the holding of the Wolfe court to the extent it construes the prohibition
on serial meetings and would state its intention that the changes made by this bill supersede that
holding. In order to address the Governor's concerns, this bill would also state the Legislature's
intention that the changes made by this bill do not prevent a local agency staff official, employee, or
individual from engaging in separate conversations or communications, outside of a meeting
authorized by the Brown Act, with members of a legislative body in order to answer questions or
provide information regarding a matter that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the local
agency, provided that the local agency staff official, employee, or individual does not communicate to
members of the legislative body the comments or position of any other member or members of the
body. This bill will likely be amended to codify this intent language.

The nonprofit mutual water company would be required to receive an advisory opinion from the IRS
and 50 % of its shares would have to be owned by a municipality and its governing body would have
to be a local public agency. Meeting those qualifications would make the mutual water company a

Existing law prohibits a local public entity, charter city, or charter county from requiring a bidder to
assume responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of architectural or engineering plans and
specifications on public works projects, except on clearly designated design-build projects.
This bill would enable contractors and subcontractors to not be held liable for deficient architectural
plans if some public entities view the appellate case of Thompson Pacific Construction, Inc. v. City of
Sunnyvale (Santa Clara Superior Court Case No. CV 017403, 6th District Court of Appeal, Case No.
H029818) as an opportunity to shift design risk from architects to contractors. This bill would instead

provide written notice of the withholding of contract payments to the contractor and subcontract. This
bill would allow an administrative judge to award an awarding body the reasonable attorney's fees and
costs incurred in defending the withholding of contract payments if the contractor or subcontractor
fails to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the administrative law judge that the contractor or
subcontractor had substantial grounds for believing the withholding of contract payments to be in

Water supply assessments: groundwater
Existing law requires a city or county that determines a project is subject to CEQA to identify any
public water system that may supply water for the project and to request those public water systems to
prepare a water supply assessment. The Urban Water Management Planning Act requires urban water
suppliers to prepare and adopt urban water management plans for submission to the Department of
Water Resources. The act requires that if groundwater is identified as an existing or planned source of
water available to the urban water supplier, that certain information be included in the plan.
This bill would provide that if an Urban Water Management. Plan or Water Supply Assessment
identifies groundwater as an existing or planned source of water available to the urban water supplier,
the plan or assessment could only include the amount of groundwater that has been determined by the
LEGISI.AM-E REPORT Apri111, 2008

(a Department of Fish and Game fee) for each proposed project. unless the project has no effect on
fish or wildlife. This bill would allow an exemption from the payment of the filing fee if the lead
agency determines the project will have no effect on fish and wildlife. This bill would also exempt
from the payment of filing fee a project being undertaken by a public agency or the Department of
Fish and Game.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT April 11, 2008
K.3 SB 1165 (Kuehl) Environment: environmental impact report
Existing law requires a lead agency to prepare or cause to be prepared and certify the completion of an
environmental impact report ("EIR") on a project that may have a significant effect on the
environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds the project will not have a significant effect
on the environment.
The bill would require the lead agency to make available to members of the public administrative
drafts of its EIR, negative declaration, or mitigated negative declarations that are circulated among the
project applicant and any public agencies prior to their official release for public comments. The bill
would require the lead agency to make available and provide specified notice of the availability of any
administrative draft. "Administrative draft" is defined as "an environmental document that is
circulated by the lead agency to a responsible agency, or to other departments within the agency, prior
to providing public notice of the draft environmental impact report."
In addition, this bill would not allow a lead agency to rely on an EIR, negative declaration, or
mitigated negative declaration that was certified more than five years ago without treating the
document as an uncertified, draft EIR, circulating the document for public review and comment, and
recertifying the document before the agency took an action in reliance on the analyses and conclusions
of the EIR, negative declaration, or mitigated negative declaration. This new requirement would not
prohibit the incorporation by reference or tiering off of the prior environmental impact report.

projects that address groundwater contamination by means of treatment, remediation, or both.
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature that moneys not be appropriated from the General
Fund to the newly created fund in years where there is a budget deficit. This bill would authorize the
moneys in the fund to be expended to meet the nonfederal matching Band requirements set forth under
federal law. This bill would require any funds recovered by WQA from responsible parties to be

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
2. District Branding. Cindy Mejia presented a list of taglines for the committee's
consideration. Director Beverage suggested that one of the taglines was too
confining for the overall view of the District, but mentioned that it could be used in
conjunction with the District's 100-year Anniversary campaign. The committee
agreed that it liked the tagline, "Trusted and Independent Since 1909" best, but
Director Collett also requested that we try replacing the "Since 1909" with "For
More Than 100 Years". The committee decided on the all blue version of the
"YLW" identifier to put on the stationary, but to also retain the grey version in the
image stable for use on other projects. The committee also reviewed several
examples of environmentally-friendly paper. It was decided that for the next
meeting, Nancy Jamar would print the revised version of the letterhead and
business card on several examples of paper to assist the committee in choosing
one.

suggested changes to be incorporated into the next version of the script.

DISCUSSION ITEMS:
2. District branding. Both Director Beverage and Director Collett agreed that
they liked the previous meetings' revisions to the letterhead. Director
Beverage also suggested that the "shadow" of the "YLW" identifier be made
darker and that the second sheet of the letterhead continue to contain both
the name of the district and the "YLW" identifier but in a smaller size than on
the original sheet. Director Collett agreed and suggested the paper on both
the business card and the letterhead be of recycled content. Director
Beverage agreed, and it was decided that due to the higher price of "white"
colored recycled-content paper, a "pebble-stone" color would be better suited
to the financial responsibility of the District. It was decided that the letterhead,
envelopes and business cards, all with the revised District branding, were
ready for the Committee's recommendation to the Board of Directors on the
May 15, 2008 meeting.
3. Review District Video Script. Changes to the District video script and to the
visual shots of the video were discussed and will be presented to the video
production company prior to the next Committee meeting. The script was
approved, with the recommended changes, by the Committee.
