To the Honorable Board of Directors:
We are pleased to present the Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 Draft Budget.
The purpose of this document is to identify and allocate the resources needed to
accomplish the District’s goals and objectives over the next fiscal year and to present
the financial health of the District in a clear and concise manner to the Board of
Directors and the general public.
The main objective of the proposed Yorba Linda Water District FY 2015/16 budget is to
provide adequate funding for all District activities, considering the goal of meeting all
regulatory requirements while providing reliable, high quality water and sewer services
in an environmentally responsible and financially prudent manner.
The proposed budget meets this objective by incorporating operating cost reductions
and the use of available financial reserves, while projecting realistic operating revenues
without a supplement from the currently approved rate increases.
The following are highlights of achievements completed in FY 2014/15; a summary of
the goals and objectives for FY 2015/16 and a financial forecast of the District heading
into the next five fiscal years:

FY 2014/15 Financial Forecast
For the year ending June 30, 2015, staff is anticipating a combined loss of $2,057,622
for the water and sewer enterprises. These figures include total depreciation expenses
(a non-cash expense) in the amount of $7,354,700. Please refer to the Summary of
Total Revenue and Expenses (Water & Sewer) for supporting information.
Beginning July 1, 2014, total reserve funds available for both Operations and Capital
Projects was $29.4 million. Staff is forecasting these funds to be $32.6 million by June
30, 2015, for a total addition of $3.2 million for FY 2014/15.
Principal Issues, Factors & Challenges for FY 2015/16
For the forthcoming 2015/16 fiscal year, the Yorba Linda Water District will be
experiencing one of its greatest challenges in meeting the Governor’s April 1, 2015
Executive Order issuing mandatory water conservation regulations across the state.
The subsequent Regulations approved by the State Water Resources Control Board
(SWRCB) on May 6, 2015, mandated a conservation reduction (of water use) for YLWD
of 36%, comparative to 2013 usage. In response to these events, YLWD Board of
Directors adopted Resolution No. 15-04 Instituting Stage 3 of the District’s Conservation
Ordinance and Ordinance No. 15-01 Instituting Drought Penalties, both to promote
conservation efforts by our customer base. As a result of the SWRCB mandated 36%
District-wide conservation reduction established for YLWD, there is a projected budget
decrease of 29% in water sales for FY 2015/16 as compared to FY 2014/15.
Prior to the Governor’s Executive Order, the District was engaged in a Water and
Wastewater Rate Study as authorized by the Board. The study explored gradually
shifting more of the customer’s average monthly bill to the basic service charge over a
five year period. The intent was to stabilize revenues and meet the District’s cost of
service as water conservation efforts continue to be necessary. Unfortunately, due to
the Emergency Drought Mandates implemented in May of 2015, which far exceeded the
forecasted conservation targets set by the District’s imported water supplier,
Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD), this gradual shift to increase
the basic service fee will need to be consolidated into the first year, effective October, 1
2015.
Additionally the Emergency Mandates require the establishment of drought rates or
administrative penalties to impose upon customers who exceed water use restrictions
set forth by the SWRCB. The District elected to implement administrative penalties
based on reductions comparative to the calendar year 2013 average usage for each of
the three customer classes - residential, commercial and irrigation. The collection of
these proposed administrative penalties are not for the purpose of recovering the cost of
providing water service to District customers, but rather to signal higher than average
users of water they need to conserve more.

As of May 2014, the District was granted annexation of the remaining 26% of its service
area into the Orange County Water District (OCWD). It was anticipated that with full
annexation the District will be able to pump the maximum groundwater allowable each
year, at a lower cost than purchasing the same amount of import (MWD) water.
However, the District will not be able to take advantage of full annexation for FY
2015/16, due to the 2003 Conjunctive Use Program (CUP) Agreement and due to the
need to complete construction of capital facilities.
The CUP Agreement requires the District to withdraw 1,596 acre-feet over and above
OCWD’s Basin Production Percentage (BPP) for the upcoming fiscal year and pay for
the water at current import water rates, after subtracting power and operations and
maintenance charges of $110 per acre-foot. The CUP allows MWD to “store” water in
the Orange County Groundwater Basin and call for the extraction of that water, via wells
purchased for various agencies, in times of drought when its traditional sources (the
Colorado River and Bay-Delta) are less plentiful.
Current facility (infrastructure) limitations prevent the District from producing and
transferring the full BPP as well as the required CUP obligation. Had the District been
able to access the entirety of the BPP in the upcoming fiscal year, the District could
potentially lower its variable water costs by approximately $1 million. As later described
in this document, the District’s Capital Improvement Program includes construction of
pumping, pipeline and well facilities over the next three years that will make it possible
for the District to access its full allotment of groundwater.
FY 2015/16 Goals & Objectives
Key Business Objectives

FY 2015/16 Summary Budget
Revenues
Total water and sewer revenues budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16 amount to $32.5
million, a decrease of $415,000 from the revenues budgeted for FY 2014/15. The major
differences are comprised of the following:
Water Revenue ($580,000 decrease)
The decrease in Water Revenue is a result of the net effect of projected conservation
efforts to meet the SWRCB mandated reduction in consumption and the projected
results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study that will establish an increase on
monthly base fee charges to District customers. Water Revenue from Residential,
Commercial, and Landscape/Irrigation consumption is projected to decrease by $6.4
million (30%) in FY 2015/16 as a result of District-wide conservation efforts. As a
projection of the results from the Water and Wastewater Rate Study, Service Charges
for all customers are projected to increase by $4.9 million for FY 2015/16.
Sewer Charge Revenue ($34,000 decrease)
Sewer Charge Revenue funds help to finance maintenance equipment, system repairs,
replacements and improvements associated with the sewer system. This revenue is
expected to remain relatively constant.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

Expenses & Outlay
Total expenses & outlay (excluding capital projects) budgeted for upcoming FY 2015/16
is $37.6 million, an increase of $1 million from the FY 2014/15 budgeted results. This
includes depreciation which totals $7.4 million. The following factors summarize the
significant changes:
Variable Water Costs ($2,849,000 decrease)
The District's variable water costs will decrease by 19% in FY 2015/16. In response to
the SWRCB’s mandated conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, the District’s
Production Operating Plan is projecting to generate a total demand of 16,534 AF in FY
2015/16 – a reduction of 5,446 AF from FY 2014/15. The operating plan for FY 2015/16
increases its annual ground water allocation to 60.9% - up by 6.2% from FY 2014/15.
The cost per AF for ground water of $322/AF averages to be $613/AF less than the cost
of import water per AF.
Salaries & Benefits ($589,000 increase)
This amount includes the hiring of additional staff, merit increases and reclassifications
for those employees who may qualify throughout the year, a Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) as indicated in the District’s MOU and Compensation letters, increases from
CalPERS, medical, dental, and vision premiums, and the assumption that all funded
positions will be filled for an entire fiscal year. The FY 2015/16 budget for merit
increases for those employees who qualify throughout the year, amounts to
approximately $39,000. The Salaries & Benefits budget also includes the addition of two
full-time employees and 4 part-time employees, as well as one proposed reclassification
of current employee. Salaries relating to CIP projects, in the amount of $135,000, will
also be capitalized. The net operating costs for salaries and benefits results in a
$589,000 increase from the FY 2014/15 budget.
The District has three tiers for retirement benefits through the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS):
Tier 1 applies to District employees hired prior to January 26, 2012. These employees
pay the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and
are enrolled in the 2% at 55 CalPERS retirement formula.
Tier 2 applies to District employees hired between January 26, 2012 and December 31,
2012, and any District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are defined as
“classic members” under the Public Employees’ Retirement Law. These employees pay
the full employee contribution rate, which is 7% of pensionable compensation and are
enrolled in the 2% at 60 CalPERS retirement formula.
Both tier 1 and tier 2 retirement benefits are based on the employee’s single highest
year of compensation. These employees are covered under the Fourth Level of 1959
Survivor Benefits.

Tier 3 applies to District employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are “new
members” as defined in the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA).
These employees pay an initial contribution rate of one-half of the total normal cost of
the defined benefit plan and are enrolled in the 2.5% at 67 CalPERS retirement formula.
The retirement benefit for these employees is based on an average of three years of
final compensation.
Commencing July 1, 2015, District employees will receive a Cost-of-Living increase of
6.5% which will be spread over the course of the next three fiscal years.
The District will continue to match dollar for dollar of salary earned, not to exceed 2%
per payroll period of the employee’s deposits into a qualified Deferred Compensation
Plan for any Management or Supervisory/Confidential employee.
The District pays 100% of the premium cost for health, dental and vision for all full-time
employees and two-thirds of the premium cost for their dependents; offers employees a
“4/10” work schedule; an optional 457 deferred compensation plan; a 125 Flex benefits
plan; Long and Short Term Disability Insurance; Life Insurance; an Employee
Assistance Program; and Tuition Reimbursement.
Employees accrue 3.077 hours per pay period of vacation with increases in vacation
accruals at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. After 20 years, the maximum vacation accrual is
reached at the rate of 6.922 hours per pay period. There are 26 pay periods per year.
Sick leave is accrued at the rate of 3.7 hours per pay period. The District observes
eleven paid holidays per year.
Reserves and Funding Sources
The District has nine water and sewer enterprise-related funding sources. Within the
budget document is a summary of these funding sources and their associated balances.
Three of these funds are restricted or designated specifically for capital projects
including: COP Bonds 2008, Water Capital Projects and Sewer Capital Projects.
Both the Water Emergency and the Sewer Emergency Funds are non-restricted and
were established to fund unplanned, unbudgeted emergency operations repairs related
to the water and sewer system, respectively. The Water Emergency Fund was
established in FY 2009/10, with a transfer of $2 million from the Annexation Fund. The
Sewer Emergency Fund was established in FY 2007/2008, with the Board of Directors’
decision that approximately $1 per connection per month would be set to fund this
account. The Board also established at that time a Sewer Emergency Fund ceiling
guideline of $1 million, after which any additional revenue generated would be
transferred to Sewer Capital Reserves.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

The remaining three funds are the Water Restricted for Debt Service Fund, which is
used to pay the Districts principal and interest payments and the Water and Sewer
Operating Funds which are used to fund day-to-day operations and maintenance
activities as identified in the budget, which occur as actual expenses. These activities
require cash, checks and wire transfers on a regular basis and affect the District’s cash
flow.
Summary
The Water Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $3.8 million under the
proposed budget, which includes a rate increase and variable water cost pass-through,
and with depreciation of $6 million. This does not include CIP project expenditures,
which are funded separately with capital reserves and other identified funds.
The Sewer Enterprise is budgeted with a FY 2015/16 loss of $1.3 million, with
depreciation of $1.3 million. This also does not include CIP project expenditures, which
will require funding from capital reserve funds and operating fund transfers.
The State-wide mandated water use restrictions by the SWRCB will pose challenges for
all water providers in the coming years. Continuous and effective communications on
the many changing issues facing the District is essential as we adapt our business
model to these drought conditions and imposed mandates.
The challenges presented this year were met by the Yorba Linda Water District’s Board
of Directors’ resolve to keep the stability and financial strength of the District as one of
its highest priorities.
This budget reflects the vision of the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District, its management, and its employees. We will continue to strive to make
improvements in our budget processes, including an extensive review and analysis of
projections for revenues, expenditures, capital projects, and reserves.
I would like to thank all the staff involved in this process for the efforts put forth in the
preparation of this budget to ensure a successful outcome. To the Board of Directors,
we acknowledge and appreciate their continued support and direction in achieving
excellence in financial management and District operations.
Respectfully Submitted,
Marc Marcantonio
General Manager

Strategic Goals Statement
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that all
governmental entities use some form of strategic planning to provide a long-term
perspective for service delivery and budgeting, thus establishing logical links between
authorized spending and broad organizational goals.
The goals, objectives and action steps within the District’s Strategic Plan were
determined by the mission and vision statements and core values of the District and
further established through the process initiated by the Board of Directors through a
Strategic Plan Workshop. Stakeholders that participated in this process included all five
Board Members, the Executive Management team and members of the Employee
Productivity-Innovation-Communications (EPIC) Committee, made up of staff
representatives with varied levels of experience and expertise from across all District
departments.
In the District’s strategic planning, goals are defined as identified challenges the District
would like to address. Initiatives are defined as high-level concepts or plans for
resolving the identified goals. Strategies are defined as action steps to achieving the
identified initiatives, which, in turn, achieve the identified goals.
Five goals were identified as the most critical challenges for the District to address in
the next year:
Goal CP: Community Partnership
Goal FR: Fiscal Responsibility
Goal OE: Operational Efficiency
Goal SR: Service Reliability
Goal WE: Workforce Engagement

Profile of the District
Independent, Trusted and Reliable Service for more than 100 Years
The Yorba Linda Water District is an independent special district, which operates under
the authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code. The Yorba Linda Water District
has been providing water and sewer services to the residents of the City of Yorba Linda,
portions of Placentia, Brea, Anaheim, and nearby unincorporated areas since 1959, the
year it was formed to take over the assets and water service responsibilities of the
Yorba Linda Water Company, a mutual company formed in 1909.
The District is governed by a five-member Board of Directors, elected at large from
within the District’s service area. The General Manager administers the day-to-day
operations of the District in accordance with policies and procedures established by the
Board of Directors. The Yorba Linda Water District employs a full-time staff of 80
employees and a part-time staff of 4 employees. The District’s Board of Directors meets
on the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Meetings are publicly noticed and
citizens are encouraged to attend.
The District provides water, sewer or a combination of both services to residents and
businesses within its service area, which includes approximately 14,475 acres of land
comprising 22.6 square miles. The District serves a population of approximately 70,000
and currently provides water service through approximately 24,703 residential,
commercial, and light industrial connections.
District Services
Residential customers make up approximately 93% of the District’s customer base and
consume approximately 72% of the water provided annually by the District.
The District's drinking water comes from two sources: local groundwater and "imported
water". Approximately 60% comes from local groundwater and 40% comes from
"imported water" from the Colorado River via the Colorado River Aqueduct and from
Northern California via the State Water Project. The blending of these sources varies
according to your geographic location within the District.
YLWD currently operates 10 wells within our service area that pump water from the
Orange County Groundwater Basin. The groundwater basin is managed by the Orange
County Water District (OCWD), who allows more than 20 cities and water agencies,
including YLWD, to withdraw water from the basin, via wells, at a cost of approximately
$322 per acre-foot. OCWD sets a maximum percentage of water that can be pumped
from the ground, the Basin Production Percentage (BPP).
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
17
The remainder of YLWD's drinking water is "imported" water, purchased through the
Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC). MWDOC, in turn, purchases
water from the State Water Project and the Colorado River Aqueduct, as part of a
consortium of 26 agencies, through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern
California (MWD). The cost of imported water to the retail agencies, such as YLWD, is
almost four times the cost of pumping out of the groundwater basin. Imported water is
treated at MWD's Diemer Filtration Plant, located on Valley View and Diemer Road in
Yorba Linda.
The majority of YLWD's operating expenses are variable water costs, which include
purchasing water from both OCWD and MWDOC, as well as electrical and natural gas
costs to pump water up to the highest elevations.
The District has a unique water delivery system to provide service to homes ranging
from 250 to 1,390 feet above sea level, from the Chino Hills to the Santa Ana River. The
District maintains ten primary hydraulic "pressure zones" and fourteen water storage
reservoirs.
Almost ten years ago the District began a $95 million dollar “fast track” capital
improvement program aimed at an infrastructural overhaul to ensure water reliability for
our customers, and to meet current and anticipated consumption and financial
demands. The program includes the construction of water wells, reservoirs, pipelines
and booster pumping stations as well as various other system improvements. These
systems improvements will allow greater access to groundwater throughout our service
area and have the potential to reduce variable costs approximately $1 million per year.
In addition, the ability to access groundwater provided by these upgrades serves to
better prepare the District in the event of scheduled and unscheduled MWD shutdowns.
Historically, YLWD rates have been among the lowest in Orange County, and continue
to be so for the upcoming year.
In fiscal year 2012/13 and 2013/14, the District purchased 21,788.7 acre-feet and
22,645.8 acre-feet of water to provide to customers, respectively. Fiscal year 2015/16 is
forecasted to provide 16,534 acre-feet.

Financial Policies & Goals
This section includes a brief summary of the District’s Operating Budget Policy,
Revenue and Expenditure Policy, Reserve Policy, and Investment Policy. Though each
financial policy is reviewed annually, only the District’s Investment Policy is updated and
adopted by the Board on an annual basis.
Operating Budget Policy
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s comprehensive master plans, the
long term financial plan, the needs of the community, and federal and state laws.
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s.
A balanced budget is defined as the amount of budgeted expenditures is equal to or
less than the amount of budgeted revenue, plus available fund balance.
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on an accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, an accounting entity which finances and
accounts for the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities and
services. It is the intention of the District to recover the full costs of providing
maintenance, goods, and/or services through the collection of user charges.
Revenue and Expenditure Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using historical trends and current information to maintain consistency,
reliability, and reasonableness.
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
23
Reserve Policy
This policy represents the public affirmation of the Board’s commitment to the financial
prudence and careful stewardship of community assets. This policy covers: Operating
Reserve (target level of 8%-17% of annual operating budget); Emergency Reserve
(target level between $1 and $4 million for water fund and $250,000 and $1 million for
sewer fund); Capital Replacement Reserve (target level of $1.82 million for water fund
less money set aside for Maintenance Reserve and $345,000 for sewer fund);
Maintenance Reserve (target level of $200,000); Debt Service Reserve (target level of
highest annual debt service payment); Employee Liabilities Reserve (annual
contribution of $100,000) and US Bank 2008 COP Reserve (target level of $2,147,096).
These funds are designated by the District’s Board to carry out specific purposes to
ensure prudent management of District’s financial resources and are used by District’s
staff as parameters within which the Board expects staff to operate.
The Financial Reserve Policy has three primary goals:
To preserve the financial stability of the District against present and future
uncertainties in an ever-changing environment
To maintain the District’s bond ratings in the capital markets and sustaining debt
covenant compliance
To provide adequate funding to meet the District’s short-term and long-term
plans and commitments to its customers
All reserve balances will be subject to review by the Board of Directors on an annual
basis as part of the budget process.
Investment Policy
It is the policy of the District to invest funds in a manner that will provide the highest
investment return with the maximum security while meeting the daily cash flow
demands of the District and conforming to all statutes governing the investment of the
District funds. The policy follows the “prudent investor” standard of the California
Government Code Section 53600.3 and is updated and formally adopted by the District
on an annual basis.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
24
Basis of Budgeting & Accounting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for District
expenses, with the exception of supplies and services, is on the accrual basis. Supplies
and services are budgeted on the cash basis of accounting.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the majority of the costs of
the acquisition, operation, and maintenance of governmental facilities through user-
charges and the receipt of property taxes.
Budget Controls
When the Fiscal Year 2015-16 Operating and Capital Budget is approved by the Board,
budgeted amounts are appropriated and expended within each department.
Subject to the approval of the annual budget by the Board of Directors, the General
Manager has full charge and control of the District’s expenditures to ensure that
operating and capital expenditures in each fiscal year are within the budgetary
guidelines and to ensure that the District’s goals and objectives are met.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Throughout the year, Finance and other department managers will review actual results
of operating expenditures as compared to the budgeted amounts approved by the
Board of Directors in June 2015. The General Manager has the authority to make
administrative adjustments to the budget as long as those changes will not have a
significant policy impact nor affect the budgeted year-end fund balances. Any
significant program changes or service level changes require approval by the Board of
Directors. All budget transfers are documented and tracked within the Finance
Department.
Review and adjustments to the capital budget appropriations are also recommended
throughout the fiscal year. Project managers may find that some projects contemplated
at the beginning of the fiscal year have been delayed or accelerated due to changes in
conditions, weather and/or economics, and new projects may be added to meet future
demands, goals and objectives. Any recommended changes to the Capital
Improvement Budget would be brought to the Board of Directors for approval.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
25
Resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors are required for authorizing positions in
the service of the District and for setting salary ranges for those authorized positions.
The General Manager is authorized to use savings from vacant authorized positions to
retain contract labor to meet District personnel needs. The General Manager is also
authorized to fill an approved and budgeted position that is vacated during the term of
the budget year with a new employee at an equal or lower classification. The budget
may need to be modified to reflect labor and benefit agreements. These changes would
be approved by the Board of Directors.
As defined by the District’s Purchasing Policy, in the event that the General Manager
determines that an emergency exists and requires immediate action, the General
Manager shall have the power, without prior Board action, to enter into contracts and
agreements and expend funds on behalf of the District beyond the final approved fiscal
year budget in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Those amounts shall be ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called. Amounts in
excess of $100,000 require Board of Director approval and shall be formally ratified at
the next meeting or at the earliest special meeting that can be called.
Budget Process
The budget process begins in January of each year and is the product of a
comprehensive team effort from various levels within the organization, as shown on the
following Budget Calendar. Each year, the Finance Department prepares expenditure
budget worksheets for distribution to key staff. These worksheets give staff the
necessary information to project their department’s budgets by category. Included in
the worksheets are the past year’s actual expenses, current year transactions, and
projected current year end balances. Based on the information provided, and
accounting for any changes for anticipated purchases, the requested amounts from the
worksheet are entered into the budget system and compared to last year’s budget. Any
substantial budget change needs to be justified by the respective departments.
The Human Resources Department reviews the employee positions and wages of the
District. The Human Resources Department makes a recommendation to the General
Manager if new positions need to be added, changes in job descriptions need to occur,
or reclassifications of position are required. The results of this review are presented to
the Board of Directors for further input and approval. The approved personnel
recommendations are entered into the budget system for inclusion in the budget
document.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
26
The Engineering Department prepares a list of CIP projects to be presented to the
Board of Directors. Based on recommendations from staff, each CIP project will be
prioritized based on necessity. The Engineering Department will also update the future
project list and will incorporate cost changes due to construction cost increases or a
change in the scope of the project.
The method to determine the revenue projections takes into account factors such as
projected growth, required conservation, historical activity, and the current economic
conditions.
Once all the components have been calculated, each department presents their
departmental budget to the General Manager and Management Team for review.
Comments and changes that are recommended by staff are included in a draft
document that is then presented to the Board of Directors in a public forum for review
and comment. Once all approved changes have been incorporated into the draft
document, a final budget is then presented to the Board of Directors for adoption.
Developing and monitoring the budget is an ongoing process. Monthly reports of
expenses and revenues compared to the budget are developed to provide a method for
ongoing review at the department level. The Board is presented unaudited financial
statements in the CAFR format to review, receive and file for each reporting quarter.
Revenue Assumptions
The main source of Operating Revenue for the District is water and sewer rate revenue.
However, rate revenue is not enough to fund the total cost of operations and must be
supplemented by a variety of miscellaneous/other operating revenues. Other operating
revenues include items such as customer service fees, unmetered jumpers, and other
sources. Total operating revenues are projected to decrease at a rate of 1.2% in FY
2015/2016. Water operating revenues as a result of water sales are estimated to
decrease by 1.9% to $28,623,519 in FY 2015/16. Sewer operating revenues are
estimated to decrease by 1.2% to $1,822,139 in FY 2015/16.
Water Operating Fund
Potable Water sales are the largest source of District revenues, with the majority of
sales to residential customers. In previous years, mild weather conditions, less that
desirable economic conditions, and a strong water conservation message have resulted
in lower consumption demand and thus lower than anticipated water revenues. In the
current year, due to the Governor’s official Declaration of Drought and mandated
conservation reduction for YLWD of 36%, comparative to calendar year 2013, set by the
SWRCB, the District is budgeting for at a 29% conservation reduction of current
forecasted usage.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
27
There is no tiered water rate structure at YLWD. Therefore, Water Revenues are
calculated using the average number of units consumed per customer account, a
proposed monthly fixed charge per account, and a proposed $2.70 per billing unit
consumed (which is 100 cubic feet (ccf) or approximately 750 gallons). The result is
then annualized for the budget projection. The budget assumes a yearly demand of
16,534 acre feet (AF) in FY 2015/16. The chart below displays the historical trend of
water revenue.
Revenue from Service Charges is a calculation of the projected number of service
connections for FY 2015/16 (24,703) multiplied by the proposed fixed service charge
based on meter size.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to backflow charges,
unmetered jumpers, construction meters, new account fees, and other income, are
projected based upon historical activity and current economic conditions. Included in
Other Income Revenues for FY 2015/16, in response to the SWRCB’s Emergency
Drought, are revenues collected in the form of administrative penalties imposed upon
District customers who exceed water use restrictions.
Interest Income for the water operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.
Property Tax Income is projected based on the assumptions of the Orange County Tax
Assessor. The District anticipates receiving 97% of its share of the ad valorem tax
revenue, which will result in a 1% increase when compared to the previous year.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
28
Other Non-Operating Revenue, which include but are not limited to annexation fees,
rental income, and other sources, are projected based upon historical activity and
current economic conditions.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
29
Sewer Operating Fund
The District’s Sewer Revenues are based on the sewer collection services provided to
our customers.
Sewer maintenance charges will remain fixed at $5.50 per month for single family
residential customers with associated charges for multi-family and commercial
accounts. The District will provide sewage collection services for approximately 25,300
sewer service connections.
Other Income Revenues, which include but are not limited to sewer collection fees and
miscellaneous income, are projected based upon the historical activity and current
economic conditions.
Interest Income for the sewer operating funds is projected based on an average yield of
0.6% on the District’s portfolio.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
30
Cost Allocation
The allocation of costs are derived from cost accounting. Cost accounting is defined as
the process of tracking, recording and analyzing costs associated with the products or
activities of an organization. The costs of operating expenses including employee
wages and benefits are allocated to each department and division, based on actual
expenses as tracked by the District’s accounting system. The District’s budget is
presented with an allocation of 93% to the Water Fund and 7% to the Sewer Fund, with
the exceptions of the Water Production, Water Operations, and Mechanical Services
sections which are allocated 100% to the Water Fund. Additionally, the Sewer
Operations section, which includes sewer-related expenses including vehicle
maintenance, is allocated 100% to the Sewer Fund. The methodology used to
determine the allocation percentages involved discussions with personnel from each
department where they were to identify a basis for each section by which an allocation
percentage could be used. This analysis concluded that the allocation percentage
described above was appropriate.
Costs associated with capital projects are tracked by the means of assigned “Job
Numbers”. Salaries affiliated with capital projects are allocated to the appropriate CIP
accounts based on actual timesheet entries. An overhead of approximately 33% is
applied to the allocated salary costs by job number in order to provide a true salary and
benefit cost applicable to CIP projects.

Five Year Financial Projections (FY 2016-2020)
Narrative
This financial projection is designed to provide a general understanding of how
revenues and expenditures are expected to influence the District over the next five
years. Revenue and expenditure projections are reviewed in relation to their effect on
funding capital projects, reserve levels, and operating fund balances. The District will
update its projections on an annual basis in order to plan for the future and determine
recommended rates. The projection factors in debt ratios, reserve balances, projected
rate increases, cost increases and growth projections.
The assumptions in the following projections include:
Costs passed-through for all variable water cost rate increases
Annexation to OCWD in FY 14/15
$7 million borrowing through a Line of Credit in FY 12/13 at an interest rate of One
Month LIBOR + 0.90%, with renewals every 3 years
Principal repayment due September 16, 2016
A 0.04% annual growth in customer accounts
No change to the sewer rate, but an alignment to address a disparity in our rates in
FY 2015/16
Average interest earnings at 0.3 % - 1.2%
1% growth in property taxes
1.5% annual increase in other non-operating revenue other than annexation
amortization
9% annual increases in variable water costs
8% annual increases in salary related expenses
3-8% annual increases in supplies and services expenses with the following
exceptions:
Board Election expense only budgeted every other year
Interest expense equal to those scheduled by the existing bonds and assumed
interest rate of 1.5-2.0% for Line of Credit
No change to future budgets for other non-operating expenses
Depreciation increases based on the projected completion of CIP jobs
The District is still in the middle of an aggressive CIP spending plan that was created
with the issuance of the 2008 Certificates of Participation. The following projections
include the completion of that spending plan.

Debt Administration
The District’s debt rating from Fitch is “AA”. The District has no formal debt policy and
no legal debt limit; however, the District’s future borrowing capacity is limited by the debt
coverage ratio required by existing bond covenants. The ratio is calculated using
revenue and expenses data pertaining to the Water Fund only and the covenants
require that the coverage exceed 1.1. The District’s budgeted ratio is 1.25 for Fiscal
Year 2016. This District’s Fiscal Year 2015/16 budgeted debt service obligation
($2,721,559) is related to its two existing debt issuances. Use of proceeds and the
corresponding principal balance of each are as follows:

Financial Policies
Introduction
The District’s financial policy documents incorporate many of the District’s financial
management practices that are used by the District staff as guidelines for operational
and strategic decision-making related to current and future financial matters.
The purpose of establishing these policies is to identify acceptable and unacceptable
courses of action, thus establishing parameters in which the District’s fiscal performance
can be reviewed. Some policies are flexible when they are utilized by District staff as
performance measurement tools to monitor the District’s finances, while others are
restrictive to emphasize accountability.
The Operating Budget Policy and Revenues and Expenditures Policy are internal
documents, acting as a guideline for staff, and are not reviewed by the Board. The
Financial Reserves Policy and Investment Policy are reviewed by District staff and
Board Members annually, to accommodate minor changes to the existing policy or
major shifts in financial priorities as approved by the District’s Board of Directors.
The District’s financial policies encompass the following functional areas:
Operating Budget Policy
Revenues and Expenditures Policy
Financial Reserves Policy
Investment Policy
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
82
Operating Budget Policy
The operating budget policy answers some basic questions such as: How is the budget
developed? Who is involved in the budget process? What does the budget include?
Budget Development
The District’s budget is developed in accordance with the priorities which are linked to
the District’s financial and strategic plans set forth in the District’s mission and long-term
goals and objectives. These are found in the District’s strategic plan, the needs of the
community, and federal and state laws.
Guidelines with respect to the District’s budget are as follows:
The budget should support the District’s mission statement, strategic goals, and
critical priorities
There should be no deferment of critical maintenance
The budget should be regarded as a business operating plan
The budget should balance the needs to pay for the District’s cost of providing
services, debt service obligation and capital needs of the District
Expenses should be budgeted for in appropriate departments to correctly identify
the cost of providing various District functions and services
Budget Form
The District operating and capital budget is developed on an annual basis. Operating
and capital appropriations are approved by the District’s Board of Director’s. Proposed
revenues and expenditures including debt service expenditures are presented to the
Board of Directors along with comparisons to projected expenditures for the current
year and actual expenditures of the prior two years.
Basis of Budgeting
The accounting for the District is kept on an accrual basis. Revenues are recognized
when earned, and expenses are recognized when incurred. The budgeting for the
District is kept on an accrual basis, with the exception of supplies & services, which are
budgeted on a cash basis.
The District is operated as an enterprise fund, which is an accounting entity that
finances and accounts for the acquisition, operation and maintenance of governmental
facilities and services. It is the District’s intention to recover the full costs of supplying
goods and/or services through user-charges.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
83
The District’s budget process was developed with a series of goals and objectives in
mind. These goals and objectives are communicated throughout the organization
through several meetings. During the process, the Board of Directors provides priorities
and guidelines to the General Manager. The General Manager then discusses Board
priorities and other future issues and concerns with Department Heads during staff
meetings. Once goals and objectives for the upcoming year are identified, the General
Manager and the District staff start developing the District’s budget. Where practical,
the District integrates performance measurement, service level, and productivity
indicators in the District’s adopted budget document. The District will continue to
emphasize the importance of meeting each department’s goals and objectives in order
to accomplish its long-term goals and objectives.
An increase in the Operating and Capital budget may result in water rate increases. In
order to minimize the impact on the District’s rates, revenue requirements are
scrutinized to achieve operating efficiencies and maintain or increase customer service
at the same time. As part of the cost containment efforts, District staff re-visits
operating priorities and reviews internal procedures to included utilizing outside services
when they can offer greater competitive advantages to doing it internally, or investing in
technology to increase productivity and to reduce the need for additional staff.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
84
Revenues and Expenditures Policies
This policy is used as an aid to provide for the consistent provision of essential public
services since revenues and expenditures are the key drivers of the District’s
operations. The goal of this policy is to help ensure the financial stability regardless of
the economic situation and to provide information to the Board that revenue and
expenditure practices are consistent with the District’s mission and goals.
Revenues Policy
Budgeted revenues are estimated conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach using certain techniques such as historical trends and current information to
maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
User Charges
User charges are the most important component of the District’s revenue portfolio. The
District uses user charges to fund the provision of services provided to its customers.
The District utilizes a cost recovery component to determine how much costs need be
recovered from various customers. The cost of providing various services is used as
the basis for setting rates and fees to the various types of customers served.
The following are guidelines for the user charge setting process:
User charges are established utilizing a generally accepted cost recovery
methodology that is consistent and legally defendable using the following
approaches: revenue requirement analysis, cost of service analysis, and rate
design analysis.
Rate designs shall be reflective of the District’s Board of Directors’ rate setting
objectives.
Rates shall be set at a level so that the District will collect reliable revenues
through a combination of system access charges and users’ commodity rates to
pay for the District’s revenue requirement.
Rates and charges will be reviewed and updated regularly based on factors such
as the impact of inflation, other cost increases, the adequacy of the coverage of
costs and requirements of the rate covenant.
Expenditures Policy
The District’s expenditures reflect the Board of Directors’ and staff commitment to serve
present and future customers with reliable public services. The Board and Staff believe
that prudent expenditure planning and accountability will ensure fiscal stability.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
85
Budgeted expenditures are projected conservatively using an objective and analytical
approach as well as certain techniques such as historical trends, current information,
and economic indicators to maintain consistency, reliability, and reasonableness.
The basic components of the District’s expenditure policies are broken down into two
functional areas: Maintenance of Capital Assets and Review of Service
Maintenance of Capital Assets
Maintaining a reliable transmission and distribution system and a sustained capital
program are simply not possible without reliable funding sources. For this reason,
prudent financial planning is imperative to an effective capital improvement program.
The District uses a combination of “pay as you go” method and long term funding to
fund the District’s capital improvement program and maintenance of its capital assets.
A fixed annual amount was projected by an Asset Management Plan and is included in
the District’s Reserve Policy as an annual revenue requirement to be collected from
rates and charges. The annual contributions then are accumulated and kept in the
District’s capital fund to be spent and withdrawn for the District’s betterment and
replacement projects over a period of time.
The following elements of expenditure policy reflect the District’s philosophy to perform
ongoing maintenance of capital investments once they are purchased and capitalized:
Maintain consistency of allocation of resources for programs to carry out the
District’s mission and goals to its customers
Within the resources available each fiscal year, the District shall maintain capital
assets and infrastructure at a satisfactory level to protect the District’s
investment, to minimize the future replacement and maintenance costs, and to
continue service levels.
Review of Service
These expenditure policies are used by staff to prompt review of services to see if they
are being provided as effectively and efficiently as possible. The District’s review of
service policy is as follows:
Utilize technology and productivity advancements that will help reduce or avoid
increasing personnel costs, when practicable.
Control personnel costs as a proportion of total budget, to more productively and
creatively use available resources.

Financial Reserves Policy
A. GENERAL POLICY:
Maintaining adequate reserves is an essential part of sound financial management. The
Yorba Linda Water District Board of Directors realizes the importance of reserves in
providing reliable service to its customers, financing of long-term capital projects and
funding availability for emergencies should the need arise. Interest derived from reserve
balances shall be credited to the reserve account from which it was earned.
B. CATEGORIES:
YLWD shall accumulate, maintain and segregate its reserve funds into the following
categories:
Restricted and Designated Reserves
1. Board Designated Reserves; and
2. Contractually Restricted Reserves.
C. SCOPE:
This policy will assist the Board of Directors in establishing:
1. Target levels for reserve funds;
2. Requirements for the use of reserve funds; and
3. Periodic review requirements for each reserve.
D. PERIODIC REVIEW:
Staff and the YLWD Board shall review the reserve balances and targets annually as a
part of the annual budget process. The Finance-Accounting Committee will continue to
review all reserve and investment balances monthly, with a quarterly report going to the
full Board.
E. RESTRICTED AND DESIGNATED RESERVES:
1. Board Designated Reserves:
These are reserve funds earmarked for the purpose of funding such items as new
capital facilities, repair or replacement of existing facilities and general operating
reserves designated for a specific purpose and use by the Board of Directors.

Investment Policy
SECTION 1: GENERAL POLICY
1.1 It is the policy of the Yorba Linda Water District (“District”) to invest public funds
in a manner which ensures the safety and preservation of capital while meeting
reasonably anticipated operating expenditure needs, achieving a reasonable rate
of return and conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment
of public funds.
1.2 The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for the prudent investment of
funds of the District and to outline the policies for maximizing the efficiency of the
District’s cash management. The District’s goal is to enhance the economic
status of the District consistent with the prudent protection of the District’s
investments. This investment policy has been prepared in conformance with all
pertinent existing laws of the State of California.
SECTION 2: SCOPE
2.1 This Investment Policy applies to all funds and investment activities of the
District, except for the proceeds from capital project financing instruments, which
are invested in accordance with provisions of their specific documents. These
funds are accounted for as Enterprise Funds and are identified in the District’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
SECTION 3: DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
3.1 The authority of the Board of Directors to invest funds is derived from Section
53601 of the California Government Code (“CGC”). Section 53607 of the CGC
grants the Board of Directors the authority to delegate that authority, for a one-
year period, to the District’s Treasurer. Therefore, management responsibility for
the investment program is hereby delegated to the District’s Treasurer, who shall
be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of
controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and their procedures in
the absence of the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall establish procedures for the
management of investment activities, including the activities of staff consistent
with this Policy.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
92
3.2 The Treasurer may retain the services of an outside investment advisor or
manager as approved by the Board to assist with the District’s investment
program. Any investment advisor selected shall make all investment decisions
and transactions in strict accordance with State law, and this Policy.
SECTION 4: INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
4.1 The primary objectives, in priority order, of the District’s investment activities shall
be:
4.1.1 Safety: Safety and preservation of principal is the foremost objective of
the investment program. Investments shall be selected in a manner that
seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the District’s overall portfolio.
This will be accomplished through a program of diversification and
maturity limitations, more fully described in Section 13, in order that
potential losses on individual securities do not exceed the income
generated from the remainder of the portfolio.
4.1.2 Liquidity: The District’s investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid
to enable the District to meet all operating requirements which might be
reasonably anticipated. Securities should mature concurrent with cash
needs to meet anticipated demands.
4.1.3 Return on Investments: The District’s investment portfolio shall be
designed with the objective of attaining the best yield or returns on
investments, taking into account the investment risk constraints and
liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives.
SECTION 5: PRUDENCE
5.1 The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be
the “prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing
the overall portfolio. The meaning of the standard of prudent investor is
explained in CGC Section 53600.3, which states that “when investing,
reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing public funds,
a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting
in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16
93
funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and
maintain the liquidity needs of the agency.”
5.2 The Treasurer and delegated investment officers, acting in accordance with
District procedures and the Policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved
of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price
changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion
and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
5.3 Investments shall be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then
prevailing - which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the
management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment,
considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to
be derived.
SECTION 6.0: ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
6.1 Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from
personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the
investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial
investment decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the
District’s General Manager any material financial interests in financial institutions
that conduct business with the District’s boundaries, and they shall further
disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to
the performance of the District.
SECTION 7: AUTHORIZED BROKER/DEALERS
7.1 The Treasurer will maintain a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial
institutions that are approved for investment purposes. Broker/dealers will be
selected for credit worthiness and must be authorized to provide investment
services in the State of California. These may include “primary” dealers or
regional dealers that qualify under Securities & Exchange Commission Rule
15(C)3-1 (uniform net capital rule). No public deposit will be made by the
broker/dealer except in a qualified public depository as established by the
established state laws. Before a financial institution or broker/dealer is used,
they are subject to investigation and approval by the Treasurer or his/her
designated representative, and must submit the following:
7.1.1 Certification of having read and understood this investment policy
resolution and agreeing to comply with the District’s investment policy;
7.1.2 Proof of Federal Investment Regulatory Authority certification;
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

7.1.3 Proof of State of California registration;
7.1.4 Audited financial statements for the institution’s three (3) most recent fiscal
years;
7.1.5 References of other public-sector clients that similar services are provided
to.
7.2 If a third party investment advisor is authorized to conduct investment
transactions on the District’s behalf, the investment advisor may use their own list
of approved independent broker/dealers and financial institutions. The
investment advisor’s approved list must be made available to the District upon
request.
SECTION 8: AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
8.1 The District is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under the CGC
Sections 53601 et seq. Authorized investments shall also include, in accordance
with CGC section 16429.1 et seq., investments into the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) and the Orange County Treasurer’s Commingled Investment Pool in
accordance with CGC section 53684. Within the investments permitted by the
CGC, the District seeks to further restrict eligible investment to the investments
listed in Section 8.3 below. Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply
at the time the security is purchased. Ratings, where shown, specify the
minimum credit rating category required at purchased without regard to +/- or
1,2,3 modifiers, if any.
8.2 The purchase of any investment permitted by the CGC, but not listed as an
authorized investment in this Policy is prohibited without the prior approval of the
Board of Directors.
8.3 Within the context of these limitations, the following investments are authorized:

SECTION 9: REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
9.1 The securities held by the District must be in compliance with Section 8
Authorized Investments at the time of purchase. The Treasurer shall at least
quarterly review the portfolio to verify that all securities are in compliance with
Section 8 Authorized Investments. In the event a security held by the District is
subject to a credit rating change that brings it below the minimum credit ratings
specified in Appendix A Authorized Investments, the Treasurer should notify the
Finance-Accounting Committee - and through the Committee’s minutes, the
Board - of the change. The course of action to be followed will then be decided
on a case-by-case basis, considering such factors as the reason for the change,
prognosis for recovery or further rate drops, and the market price of the security.
SECTION 10: INVESTMENT POOLS
10.1 A thorough investigation of any investment pool or mutual fund is required prior
to investing, and on a continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum,
obtain the following information:
10.1.1 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policy and objectives;
10.1.2 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how
gains and losses are treated;
10.1.3 A description of how the securities are safeguarded (included the
settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the
program audited;
10.1.4 A description of who may invest in the program, how often and what size
deposit and withdrawal are allowed;
10.1.5 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings;
10.1.6 Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund;
10.1.7 A fee schedule and when and how it is assessed;
10.1.8 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such
proceeds.

SECTION 11: COLLATERALIZATION
11.1 Bank Deposits: Under provisions of the CGC, California banks and savings and
loan associations are required to secure the District’s deposits by pledging
eligible securities with a value of 110% of principal and accrued interest. State
law also allows financial institutions to secure District deposits by pledging first
trust deed mortgage notes having a value of 150% of the District’s total deposits.
11.2 Waiver of Security: The Treasurer, at his/her discretion and in accordance with
CGC section 53653, may waive security for the portion of any deposits as is
insured pursuant to federal law.
SECTION 12: SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
12.1 All security transactions entered into by the District shall be conducted on a
delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian
designated by the Treasurer and evidenced by safekeeping receipts. The only
exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases
made with (i) local government investment pools, and (ii) money market mutual
funds, since those purchased securities are not deliverable.
SECTION 13: DIVERSIFICATION AND MAXIMUM MATURITIES
13.1 The District will diversify its investments by security type and institution. With the
exception of U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agency Securities, FDIC Insured Certificates
of Deposit and authorized pools, no more than 30% of the District’s total
investment portfolio will be invested in a single security type or with a single
financial institution.
13.2 To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with
anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash flow and
approved in advance by the Board of Directors, the District will not directly invest
in securities maturing more than 5 years from the date of purchase.
SECTION 14: INTERNAL CONTROLS
14.1 The external auditors will annually review the investments and general activities
associated with the investment program. This review will provide internal control
by assuring compliance with the Investment Policy and District policies and
procedures.
ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2015/16

SECTION 15: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
15.1 The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of obtaining a rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the
investment risk constraints and the cash flow needs.
15.2 The District’s investment strategy is passive. The performance of the District’s
investment portfolio will be evaluated and compared to an appropriate
benchmark in order to assess the success of the investment portfolio relative to
the District’s Safety, Liquidity and Return on Investments objectives. This review
will be conducted annually with the Finance-Accounting Committee.
SECTION 16: REPORTING
16.1 Subject to CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), the Treasurer will provide monthly
investment reports to the District’s Finance-Accounting Committee (and through
the Committee’s minutes, to the Board of Directors) and quarterly reports to the
Board of Directors which provide a clear picture of the status of the current
investment portfolio. The reports shall comply with the reporting requirements of
CGC sections 53607 and 53646(b), respectively.
SECTION 17: INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
17.1 The District’s Investment Policy will be adopted by resolution of the Board of
Directors. The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and modification, if
any, must be approved by the Board of Directors.
