5. DISCUSSION ITEMS
5.1. Staff Analysis of Assessed Administrative Penalties (Ordinance No. 15-01)
Mrs. Lugo provided a brief overview of the purpose of the administrative
penalties and noted that the emergency drought regulations had been
extended through October 2016.
_#"%6,
Mrs. Botts began the presentation and provided some background
information related to the implementation of administrative penalties and
the methodology behind the associated structure. She explained that staff
had been tasked with providing options for potentially altering the structure
at a previous Board meeting. Mrs. Botts then reviewed the results of
staff's analysis of the penalty structures for the District's residential,
commercial, and irrigation customers. This included an overview of
observed changes in behavior related to the average monthly
consumption in each of these customer classes. Mrs. Botts reiterated that
the District's assigned conservation mandate of 36% had been extended
through October and reported that staff had submitted an application to
the State Water Resources Control Board requesting up to an 8%
downward adjustment. She then provided an overview of the revised
calculations for the penalty structure using a potential conservation
mandate of 28% which didn't result in a significant change. As such, staff
set these calculations aside and examined 3 other options for potentially
revising the structure with the exception of the irrigation class as
SWRCB's focus is on eliminating outdoor water use. Mrs. Botts provided
an overview of each of the options, the associated benefits to the
residential and commercial classes, and the projected impact on penalty
revenue. She also noted that any changes to Ordinance No. 15-01 would
need to be made by adoption of a new ordinance.
Mr. Marcantonio commended District customers' conservation efforts
since the advent of the drought emergency. Mr. Marcantonio, Mr. Gagen
and Mrs. Botts then responded to questions from the Board.
President Collett then opened the meeting to public comment.
Ms. Peggy Yamaguchi, resident, commented on the District's variable
meter reading schedule and administrative penalties. Mrs. Lugo and Mr.
Marcantonio responded.
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Workshop Meeting Held March 17,2016 at 3:00 p.m. 2
Ms. Julia Shultz, resident, commented on issues related to public
perception, information provided at the previous budget workshop, and
customer notification of any revisions to the administrative penalty
structure.
Director Barbre commented on projected allocations from the State Water
Project, the expected long-term continuation of the current conservation
mandates, and the status of local water storage.
Mr. Ben Parker, resident, commented on utilizing the District's newsletter
to communicate with customers regarding any changes to the
administrative penalty structure.
_*F%lk
Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that a new
ordinance be drafted that would allow the flexible application of penalties
based on customers' conservation efforts.
Director Melton made a motion, seconded by Director Hawkins, instructing
staff to draft a new flexible ordinance for consideration at a future Board
meeting. Director Beverage requested to amend the motion to draft the
ordinance so that it included an option to discontinue penalties in blocks 2
and 3 for all customer classes, including irrigation. Motion carried 5-0 as
amended. _A%, jkj�1W
5.2. Status of Refunding Revenue Bonds Series 2016A
Mrs. Lugo explained that in early January, the District was approached by
Standard and Poors (S&P) to participate in a rating review. Later that
same month, the District's financial advisors (Fieldman Rolapp) notified
staff of an opportunity to refund (or refinance) the 2008 Certificates of
Participation, and potentially the District's line of credit with Wells Fargo,
which could result in a significant cash flow advantage. The Board
discussed this matter at a meeting held January 21, 2016 and instructed
staff to move forward. The District was then notified in the latter part of
February that its AA+ rating from S&P had been affirmed. Since that time,
certain events have occurred that the Board will need to consider in
relation to their impact on the refinancing process. One of those events is
associated with pending litigation and the other with the Notices of Intent
to Recall Directors Kiley and Melton. Both of these events must be
disclosed in the Official Statement and could potentially impact investors'
decisions. Additionally, Fieldman Rolapp and Citigroup are going to need
to request a reaffirmation from S&P of the District's rating. It's possible
that the rating could be downgraded which would affect the District's
interest rate, pricing of the bonds, and overall cash savings. Staff is
planning to present the bond documents at the next regular meeting at
which the Board will need to determine if it wishes to move forward with
the refinancing process or reconsider at a later date. Mrs. Lugo then
responded to questions from the Board.
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Workshop Meeting Held March 17,2016 at 3:00 p.m. 3
Mr. Ben Parker, resident, commented on the refinancing process and the
water rates.
Mr. Kent Ebinger, resident, commented on pending litigation and the
referendum petition.
Ms. Julia Shultz, resident, commented on the Prop 218 process, the
referendum petition, and the water and sewer rate study.
Director Barbre commented on the importance of disclosure and a recent
fine handed down by the Securities and Exchange Commission to a water
district in central California in relation to a previous bond offering.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: April 14, 2016
To: Board of Directors
From: Marc Marcantonio, General
Manager
Presented By: Delia Lugo, Finance Manager
Prepared By: Annie Alexander, Executive
Secretary
Subject: Proposed Modification to Administrative Penalty Structure Previously
Established to Comply with State of California Mandate
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors (1) adopt Ordinance No. 16-01 repealing Ordinance No. 15-01 and
adopting a flexible water shortage administrative penalty structure; (2) make a finding in support of a
specific stage of penalties; and (3) enact such stage to take effect on April 29, 2016 which will be
reflected on all customer billings beginning the first billing cycle in June 2016.
DISCUSSION:
On May 28, 2015 the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 15-01 which imposed
administrative penalties on District customers should their consumption exceed certain amounts.
This ordinance was developed in response to Governor Brown's April 1, 2015 executive order
calling for a statewide reduction in potable water use by 25%, and the subsequent emergency
drought regulations adopted by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) on May 6,
2015, in which a conservation mandate of 36% (comparative to 2013 consumption) was set for the
District.
On February 2, 2016, the SWRCB adopted an extended and revised emergency drought regulation
to ensure that urban water conservation continues through October 2016 while providing urban
water suppliers more flexibility in meeting their conservation requirements, including potential
downward adjustments to assigned conservation mandates ranging from 2% to a maximum of 8%.
Staff submitted an application to the SWRCB on February 22, 2016 requesting the maximum
downward adjustment of 8% from the District's 36% conservation mandate, which may be granted
in whole, in part, or not at all. However, staff is optimistic that the District has satisfied all
requirements for an adjustment.
Additionally, as of March 1, 2016, the District and its customers have met the State's mandated
36% reduction in water usage. In recognition of these outstanding efforts, the Board has expressed
a desire to repeal Ordinance No. 15-01 and replace it with another ordinance containing a more
flexible penalty structure. This new structure would allow the Board to enact or suspend an
appropriate stage of penalties based on a finding regarding the District's customers' water usage,
the District's water supply shortage stage under its water shortage contingency ordinance
(Ordinance No. 09-01), the SWRCB's conservation mandate to the District, or any other finding
consistent with the new ordinance.
Funds collected pursuant to this ordinance will not be collected for the purpose of recovering the
cost of providing water service to District customers and will be segregated into a fund which won't
be used to pay the cost of providing water service to District customers.

ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
OF THE YORBA LINDA WATER DISTRICT
REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 15-01 AND ADOPTING A FLEXIBLE
WATER SHORTAGE ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY STRUCTURE
WHEREAS, on January 17, 2014 the Governor of California proclaimed a State of
Emergency due to severe drought conditions and directed state officials to
take all necessary actions to prepare for these drought conditions; and
WHEREAS, on April 25, 2014 the Governor of California issued an executive order that
called on all Californians to redouble their efforts to conserve water; and
WHEREAS, on April 1, 2015, due to persisting drought conditions, the Governor of
California issued an executive order that called for a statewide reduction in
potable water use by 25%; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2015, emergency drought regulations, which were adopted by
the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), went into effect,
setting conservation mandates for water suppliers; and
WHEREAS, the SWRCB established a conservation mandate for Yorba Linda Water
District to reduce its potable water use by 36%; and
WHEREAS, the SWRCB may impose penalties of up to $10,000 per day against Yorba
Linda Water District for its failure to meet the 36% conservation mandate;
and
WHEREAS, on May 11, 2015 the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 15-04,
which determined that due to drought and other water supply conditions, a
water shortage or threatened shortage exists and a consumer demand
reduction is necessary to make more efficient use of water and
appropriately respond to existing drought conditions; and
WHEREAS, on May 28, 2015, the Board of Directors adopted Ordinance No. 15-01,
which imposed administrative penalties (hereinafter referred to as penalty
or penalties) on District customers should their consumption exceed
certain amounts; and
WHEREAS, on February 2, 2016, the SWRCB adopted an extended and revised
emergency drought regulation to ensure that urban water conservation

Ordinance No. 16-01 Adopting a Flexible Water Shortage Administrative Penalty Structure 1
WHEREAS, on February 22, 2016, the Yorba Linda Water District submitted an
application to the SWRCB requesting the maximum downward adjustment
of 8% from the District's 36% conservation mandate, which may be

has satisfied SWRCB's requirements for an adjustment.
WHEREAS, as of March 1, 2016, the District and its customers have met the State
mandated 36% cut in water usage; and
WHEREAS, in recognition of its customers significant reduction in water usage, it is the
Board of Directors intent to repeal Ordinance No. 15-01 and its rigid
application of penalties on District customers and replace it with a more

penalties in accordance with its customers' water usage, the District's
water shortage contingency ordinance (Ordinance No. 09-01), and the
State's conservation mandate; and
WHEREAS, the penalties established and imposed herein are not for the purpose of
recovering the cost of providing water service to Yorba Linda Water
District's water customers.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED, under the authority of State law, including, but
not limited to Sections 31026 and 31028 of the California Water Code and 53069.4 of
the California Government Code, that the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda Water
District does hereby find that the above recitals are true and correct and therefore
establish water use restrictions, and establish and impose penalties upon any customer
who exceeds the water use restrictions, in order to (1) comply with the SWRCB's
conservation mandate, (2) protect the District's water supplies, (3) reduce the quantity
of water consumed, and (4) deter and prevent the waste or unreasonable use of
valuable water resources.
Section 1. Board Authority to Enact and Suspend Water Shortage

Subject: Proposed Budgeted Positions for Fiscal Year 2016-2017
i
SUMMARY:
The District's Board of Directors on an annual basis adopts a Budget. In addition, the Board
considers and approves the funding for the proposed positions for that given fiscal year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 16-01 approving the budgeted positions for Fiscal
Year 2016-2017 and rescinding Resolution No. 15-15.
DISCUSSION:
The District's Board of Directors will consider adopting a Budget that will fund eighty (80) regular,
full-time positions; two (2) limited-term, full-time positions (budgeted from July 1, 2016 through
October 31, 2016); and one (1) temporary, part-time position (budgeted from July 1, 2016 through
October 31, 2016) for Fiscal Year 2016-2017. The following new positions have been added to this
year's Budgeted Positions List: one (1) limited-term, full-time Office Clerk and one (1) limited-term,
full-time Water Conservation Representative, both budgeted from July 1, 2016 through October 31,
2016. The following positions have been removed from this year's Budgeted Positions List: three (3)
temporary, part-time Water Conservation Representatives. One (1) Maintenance Distribution
Operator II has been reclassified to a Maintenance Distribution Operator III.
In June 2015, the District created a Water Conservation Division to be overseen by the Public
Information Manager in response to California's drought emergency. The Water Conservation
Supervisor, limited-term Office Clerk, limited-term Water Conservation Representative, and part-
time Water Conservation Representative will be fully funded by the District's drought penalty fees.
The proposed Budgeted Positions for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 identifies the reclassification of one (1)
Maintenance Distribution Operator II (MDOII) to a Maintenance Distribution Operator III (MDOIII). In
August 2015, an MDOIII was removed from one of the four existing maintenance crews and
assigned to Leak Detection, a single-person crew. In order to satisfy the staffing needs for the
remaining four crews, the reclassification of a vacant MDOII is being proposed.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The Board annually considers adopting a resolution authorizing budgeted positions, in accordance
with both the District's adopted Personnel Rules and CalPERS' statutory and regulatory
requirements for publicly available pay schedules clarified under California Code of Regulations
(CCR) Section 570.5. The Board adopted Resolution No. 15-15 approving Budgeted Positions for
Fiscal Year 2015-2016 on June 25, 2015.

From: Marc Marcantonio, General

Prepared By: Annie Alexander, Executive
Secretary
Subject: Requested Input Regarding MWDOC's Water Rate Study
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider providing input regarding MWDOC's Water Rate Study and
provide direction to staff regarding formulation of a written response.
DISCUSSION:
MWDOC's rate structure for its operating budget is currently defined by a Settlement Agreement
which expires in June 2016. As such, MWDOC has contracted with Raftelis to conduct a rate
study. The study is being performed to provide a legal basis for MWDOC's rates and not to
implement any specific change in the current rate structure.
Historically, MWDOC's rates were originally tax-based and consisted of combination of variable and
fixed charges. The variable component was a fee based on the volume of water purchased by each
member agency. The fixed component was based on the number of retail meters in each member
agency's service area. The Settlement Agreement implemented a migration to a 100% fixed rate
structure which was completed this fiscal year.
MWDOC's Board of Directors has requested the Board's input on two areas within the rate study.
The first consideration is related to equity. As a result of the rate structure contained in the
Settlement Agreement, OCWD does not pay any fees as it is a regional groundwater agency and
has no retail meters. MWDOC is currently reviewing legal issues related to Prop 26, however, it
would like to hear the Board's opinion regarding the equity of this situation. If that condition is
determined to be legal and the member agencies support it, the situation would be considered a
non-issue.
The second consideration is the actual rate structure. With the recent migration to a 100% fixed
rate structure, MWDOC is interested in hearing the Board's opinion regarding this change.
Additionally, there is a question as to the appropriate metric for allocating fees. While variable rates
are based on the volume of water purchased, fixed rates can be based on several metrics, none of
which are perfectly equitable. MWDOC is using the number of retail meters in a members agency's
service area as its current metric. This tends to under-bill member agencies with higher proportions
of customers on master meters (e.g. multi-family units, HOA's, and commercial properties). Other
alternative metrics including water meter size, previous year's volume, or population will also be
considered in the rate study.
Should the Board desire to provide input regarding these particular areas of the rate study, a
written response will need to be provided before the end of March.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
This matter was previously presented to the Board at the regular meeting held March 24, 2016. No
action was taken at that time.

www.mwdoc.com Dear President Collett:
Wayne S.Osborne
President The Board of Directors of the Municipal Water District of Orange County(MWDOC) has
Brett R.Barbra directed me to contact the governing bodies of all our Member Agencies and request your
Vice President
input on the water rate study we are currently conducting. MWDOC's rate structure for
Larry D.Dick
Director our operating budget is currently defined by the Settlement Agreement,which will expire
Joan C.Finnegan in June 2016.Therefore, MWDOC has initiated the legally required rate study for use in
Director
Susan Hinman Fiscal Year 2016-2017. MWDOC has contracted with the nationally recognized firm Raftelis
Director Financial Consultants for the technical aspects of the rate study, and the legal review will
Sat Tamaribuchi be performed by Best Best& Krieger.The MWDOC Board has established two primary
Director
Jeffery M.Thomas principles for the rate design: legal and equitable. Obviously,the rate structure must be
Director legal, but the Board also believes that the structure must be equitable to the Member
Robert J.Hunter
General Manager Agencies and general public. It is in this regard we are seeking your input.
MEMBER AGENCIES MWDOC's rate structure has varied considerably over the past 65 years. Originally tax-
City of Brea based,the rates were a combination of variable and fixed charges for many years.The
City of Buena Park variable component was a fee based on the volume of water each Member Agency
East Orange County Water District
El Toro Water District purchased.The fixed component was based on the number of retail meters in each
Emerald Bay Service District agency's service area.The Settlement Agreement implemented the migration to a 100%
City of Fountain Valley fixed rate structure,which was completed for this fiscal year.These rates for MWDOC's
City of Garden Grove
Golden of G ove core operating budget are in addition to the Choice programs to which Member Agencies
City of Huntington Beach may voluntarily subscribe and the actual cost of the water from the Metropolitan Water
Irvine Ranch Water District District of Southern California.This rate study is being conducted to provide a legal basis
Laguna Beach County Water District
City for for our rates. It is not being conducted to implement any specific change in the rate
City of La Palma structure.
Mesa Water District
Moulton Niguel Water District
City Newport Beach There are two primary areas for which we are seeking your input.The first is an equity
City of Orange consideration. MWDOC's rate structure is subject to the requirements of Prop 26.As a
Orange County Water District wholesale provider, we are not subject to Prop 218 requirements.A consequence of the
City of San Clemente Settlement Agreement rate structure is that Orange County Water District (OCWD) does
City of San Juan Capistrano
Santa Margarita Water District not pay any fees. As a regional groundwater agency,they have no retail meters.We are
City of Seal Beach currently reviewing the legal issues under Prop 26 that this may trigger and, obviously,the
Serrano Water District
South Coast Water District legal decision will dictate our actions. However,the MWDOC Board would like your
Trabuco Canyon Water District opinion on the equity of this situation. OCWD clearly receives benefits from MWDOC's
City of Tustin actions, but is not directly paying any fees. It can be argued that those benefits accrue to
City of Westminst er only the groundwater basin agencies and that OCWD should pay a fee.
Yorba Linda Water District
It can also be argued that those benefits accrue to the entire MWDOC service area and that OCWD
should not pay a fee.The water is further muddied by the fact that Santa Ana, Fullerton,and Anaheim
are OCWD member agencies but not MWDOC member agencies.Therefore the first question is whether
your agency feels it is equitable that OCWD is not assessed a fee. If that condition is legal, and our
member agencies support that arrangement,then it does not have to become an issue.
The second area has to do with the actual structure of the rates.There was enough interest in this
several years ago that the Settlement Agreement required the migration from a combined variable and
fixed structure to a 100%fixed.The MWDOC Board is interested in knowing if there are any opinions on
this issue. In addition,there is a question as to what is the appropriate metric for allocating the fee.
While variable rates are based on the volume of water purchased,fixed rates can be based on several
metrics. None of these metrics are perfectly equitable. We are currently using the metric of number of
retail meters in a member agencies service area.This tends to under-bill agencies with higher
proportions of customers on master meters (i.e., multi-family units, HOAs, commercial properties)or a
large commuter influx. Other alternative metrics include factoring in water meter size, previous year's
water volume, or population.The rate study is evaluating different metrics,and we welcome your input.
While we would like to receive your input as soon as possible,this subject requires careful consideration
by your member agency. However,we would like to hear back from you before the end of March. I am
available to come and provide additional information and discuss these issues with you at your
convenience.
Thank you for your timely attention.
Sincerely
Robert J. Hunter

3. PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Ben Parker, resident, requested that staff of OCWD and MWDOC contact
YLTA to hear its issues and concerns.
4. DISCUSSION ITEMS
4.1. State Water Resources Control Board's Drought Response Mandate and
Projection for Greater Conservation
Mr. Marcantonio reported that he was advised that at the recent ACWA
Legislative Committee Meeting, Dave Bolling (ACWA) discussed that the
SWRCB may pursue legislation that would place permanent restrictions
on residential water use. This matter is expected to be on the agenda of
the SWRCB workshop meeting scheduled April 20, 2016.
4.2. MWDOC Member Agencies Response to Drought and Turf Replacement
Rebate Program
Mr. De La Torre reported that while some MWDOC member agencies are
not meeting their conservation goal, cumulatively they have achieved the
water-savings goal of 25% over the same period in 2013. He noted that
1
meeting the goal is becoming more challenging as water users are
experiencing "conservation fatigue," and are looking for less restrictions in
light of the heavy rains in northern California. Regarding the turf rebate
program, Director Barbre reported that MWD sent 1099 Forms to each
water user that received a turf rebate of $600 or more. He noted that
MWD made the decision to send them out because the Federal
government never took action to classify the rebates as non-taxable
income (though the State of California did make this determination).
4.3. MWD Water Supply Conditions and Outlook
Director Barbre confirmed that the SPW allocation is currently at 45%,
indicating that more water will be available for MWD, though the
restrictions on pumping from the Delta remain in effect. Director Barbre
was of the opinion that MWD may move out of allocation, though that has
yet to be considered by the MWD Board, which may be as late as May.
Mr. Markus noted that if MWD moves out of allocation, then OCWD will
likely look at purchasing more MWD full-service untreated water for
recharge.
4.4. MWDOC's OC Water Reliability Investigation
Mr. De La Torre noted that the investigation is currently in Phase 2,
looking at potential projects to mitigate the long-term gap between supply
and demand, considering such factors as cost, benefit, timing and priority
for the potential projects. He noted that the investigation has highlighted
the importance of the California Fix (Twin Tunnels) Project to address the
long-term water needs of southern California and Orange County.
4.5. OCWD Groundwater Basin Condition, Basin Production Percentage, and
Replenishment Assessment
Mr. Markus reported that the groundwater basin is at approximately
390,000 AF overdraft. OCWD staff projects that with lower demands and
the current level of recharge, the basin will rebound slightly to an
estimated 380,000 AF overdraft by June 30. For FY16/17, OCWD staff is
recommending a BPP of 75% and RA of $390/AF. The proposed FY16/17
Budget includes the purchase of 30,000 AF of MWD water for recharge.
Mr Markus noted that if MWD comes out of allocation, as described in
Item 4.3. above, OCWD staff may recommend to its Board that the
purchase of MWD water be increased from 30,000 to 55,000 AF for
FY16/17. This would require the proposed RA to increase from $390 to
$412/AF.
2
4.6. Huntington Beach Desalination Project and Next Steps
Mr. Markus reported that OCWD's Board has reduced the number of
options to three being studied and priced by staff for the distribution and
use of desalinated sea water. He anticipates that at the next Board
workshop, the Board will identify the one option for final evaluation. Mr.
Markus indicated that the Coastal Commission may conduct a hearing for
the project at its July meeting for consideration of a permit for the project.
This would be the last of 17 permits required for the project. If the Coastal
Commission issues a permit for the project, Mr. Markus is of the opinion
that his Board will decide in late 2016 if OCWD will proceed and sign a
contract with Poseidon to take all of the water produced. Director Yoh
expressed his concerns with the cost of the project. It was noted that
there may be other more cost effective projects, and the OC Water
Reliability Study will be helpful in identifying and evaluating these.
4.7. Potential Projects for the Water Bond and Outlook for Bay Delta
Conservation Plan
Mr. Markus reported that OCWD has obtained water bond funding for the
La Palma Basin Project, the Bid-Basin Injection Well Project and the North
Basin and South Basin Contamination cleanup projects.
4.8. Status of North Basin and South Basin Projects
Mr. Markus reported that his Board has approved an interim cleanup
project for the North Basin, which is an extraction well (EW-1) in Fullerton
which will pump approximately 1 mgd from the contamination zone and
discharge the water to the OCSD trunk sewer near the wellhead. A
secondary benefit of this extraction is that the water will flow to OCSD
Plant #1 and then become source water for GWRS. The downside of this
process of disposal of the contaminated water is that OCSD currently
charges $1,500/AF (which is approximately $4,500/million gallons) to
process the water thru Treatment Plant #1. Mr. Markus noted that he will
be meeting with an OCSD Board committee to discuss the treatment
charge and options thereto.
4.9. YLWD Well Projects and Proposal for Dual-Use
Mr. Conklin reported that construction is proceeding on the Well 21
Equipping and Discharge Pipeline Project, with completion planned for the
end of 2016. Proceeding in parallel is the Richfield Road Pipeline Project,
which has a similar end of 2016 completion date. As part of these two
projects, there will be a pipeline turnout to provide irrigation water for
OCWD landscaping on the perimeter of the Santa Ana River Lakes
complex. YLWD recently completed the legal descriptions for the
proposed easements for its Well 22 and pipeline facilities and submitted
that data to OCWD staff for review.

4. ACTION CALENDAR
4.1. Committee Structure and Reorganization
The Committee voted unanimously to appoint Lindon Baker as Chair of
the Committee. The Committee voted unanimously to appoint Rick Buck
as Vice Chair.
5. DISCUSSION ITEMS
5.1. Staff Analysis of Assessed Administrative Penalties (Ordinance No. 15-01)
Staff presented to the Committee a report on the Administrative Penalties
and options the Board would be considering related to Ordinance No. 15-
01. The Committee suggested the Board carefully consider the timing of
any action related to adjusting the Penalties, prior to a decision by the
1
State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), as the SWRCB has
delayed adopting official new conservation mandates moving forward.
5.2. Status of Refunding Revenue Bonds Series 2016A
On January 21, 2016, the Board voted to pursue refinancing the District's
2008 bonds with an estimated savings to the District of approximately 3.5
million dollars. However, on March 24, 2016, the District's financial
advisors recommended YLWD postpone pursuing the refinancing due to
'uncertainties'. The Board accepted that recommendation. The Committee
was disappointed that the District lost this opportunity.
5.3. Conservation Update and Monthly Water Supply Report
Staff reported that after reducing our February consumption by only 23%,
the District managed to still complete the original conservation period
having achieved our 36% goal.
5.4. Director's Report
None.
5.5. Future Agenda Items
None.
6. ADJOURNMENT
6.1. The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m. The next Citizens Advisory
