5.2. Potential Amendments to Ordinance No. 15-01
Mrs. Lugo stated that at a previous workshop meeting, staff had been
tasked with drafting a new ordinance that would allow the flexible
application of administrative penalties based on customers' conservation
efforts. Mrs. Botts explained that the current ordinance had been
developed in response to the emergency drought regulations adopted by
the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the District's
assigned 36% conservation mandate. Should the District be successful in
its application to SWRCB for an 8% downward adjustment, or be assigned
a different percentage at some point in the future, this new ordinance
would allow the Board to adjust the penalty structure in relation to those
and other related circumstances. Legal counsel worked with staff to
prepare a replacement ordinance which was set up in a similar manner as
the water conservation ordinance, a copy of which was distributed at the
meeting. The draft ordinance currently contains four different stages of
administrative penalties from which the Board could choose from based
on the State's regulations and customers' water usage. Staff requested
feedback from the Board regarding the specific number of stages and the
associated administrative penalties desired. Mr. Gagen then responded to
questions from the Board regarding the process for implementing a
specific stage. Following discussion, the Board instructed staff to bring a
finalized version of the ordinance for consideration at the next regular
meeting. IV

5.1. Draft FY 2016-17 Operating Budget
Mrs. Lugo and Mrs. Botts provided a presentation regarding the draft
operating budget, a copy of which was distributed at the meeting. Mrs.
Botts began with an overview of the projected changes in FY 2016/17
including expected rate increases from OCWD, MWDOC and MWD. She
also provided information related to historical water costs and purchases.
Mrs. Botts then reviewed the key budget assumptions and noted that the
adjusted rate and time period of potential fines from SWRCB had been
included while potential revenue from administrative penalties was
excluded. Mrs. Lugo then provided an overview of the projected revenue
and expenses which did not include an increase in the current water or
sewer rates. She also reviewed these same projections with a potential
roll back of the current water rates. Mrs. Botts then reviewed the
projected variable costs and Mrs. Lugo provided an overview of the key
expense factors. Mrs. Knight presented the projected salary and benefits
expenses including staffing of the new leak detection program, proposed
changes in staffing of the water conservation division, a cost of living
adjustment specified in the Memorandum of Understanding, and a new
performance evaluation form and pay plan structure to be implemented
next fiscal year. Staff then responded to questions from the Board
regarding staffing of the water conservation division and projected salary
and benefit expenses. Mrs. Botts provided an overview of projected
replacement costs for the District's water and wastewater assets. Mr.

He and Mr. DeCriscio responded to questions from the Board regarding
the status, schedule, projected costs and cost savings for various projects.
Mrs. Lugo noted that a handout containing various scenarios for payoff of
the line of credit with Wells Fargo had been distributed at the meeting.
She noted that in addition to bundling a partial or full payoff of the principal
with the potential future refunding of the 2008 Certificates of Participation,
the Board also had the option of extending repayment for an additional
year if desired. Mr. McCann then provided an overview of each of the
scenarios.
Director Collett requested that staff prepare a report regarding revenues
and expenses related to administrative penalties for review at the next
Board workshop meeting. 4:
Mr. John Milton, resident, commented on budgeting for reduced
administrative penalties, the amount collected to date, and projected
reserves. Staff noted that additional information regarding these topics
would be provided at the next Board workshop meeting.
Mrs. Lugo stated that she had a schedule conflict with the time for the next
workshop meeting. Following brief discussion, the Board determined to

r"qq�
7.1. Proposed Modification to Administrative Penalty Structure Previously
Established to Comply with State of California Mandate
Mrs. Lugo explained that in response to Governor Brown's executive order
and the subsequent emergency drought regulations adopted by the State
Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), the Board had previously
adopted an ordinance imposing administrative penalties on District
customers should their consumption exceed certain amounts. Recently,
the SWRCB adopted an extended and revised emergency drought
regulation continuing the conservation mandate through October 2016
while providing suppliers more flexibility in meeting their assigned
percentage, including potential downward adjustments ranging from 2% to
a maximum of 8%. Staff submitted an application requesting the
maximum adjustment of 8% and feels optimistic that the District has
satisfied all requirements in this regard. Additionally, the District and its
customers have met the State's mandated 36% reduction in water usage
as of March 1, 2016. In recognition of these outstanding efforts, the Board
has expressed a desire to repeal the current ordinance and replace it with
another containing a more flexible penalty structure. Mrs. Lugo noted that
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held April 14,2016 at 8:30 a.m. 2
funds collected pursuant to the ordinance would not be collected for the
purpose of recovering the costs of providing water service and that they'd
be segregated into a fund which wouldn't be used to pay the costs of
providing water service. Director Melton stated he felt it was the Board's
intention that the administrative penalties be temporary in nature. He also
stated that due to the potential adjustment in the District's mandated
conservation percentage as well as customers' exceptional conservation
efforts, he felt it was the right time to adopt a more flexible administrative
penalty structure. Director Beverage noted that this process began
approximately 6 weeks ago. Directors Hawkins and Kiley stated that they

7.2. Proposed Budgeted Positions for Fiscal Year 2016-2017
Mrs. Knight explained that the Board would soon be considering the FY
2016/17 budget, including funding for proposed positions for that same
time period. Staff is recommending that the Board consider adopting a
budget that would fund the following: eighty (80) regular full-time positions;
two (2) limited-term full-time positions (from July 1 — October 31, 2016);
and one (1) temporary part-time position (from July 1 — October 31, 2016).
One of the limited-term full time positions would be an Office Clerk and the
other a Water Conservation Representative. These positions would be
replacing three (3) temporary part-time Water Conservation
Representatives. Additionally, it is proposed that one (1) Maintenance
Distribution Operator II position be reclassified to a Maintenance
Distribution Operator III. Mrs. Knight further explained that staff was in the
process of assessing the District's long-term staffing needs, including the
organization structure, which would be discussed at a future strategic plan
workshop. Mrs. Knight and Mrs. Lugo then responded to questions from
the Board related to the limited term positions, the timing of presenting this
resolution for consideration, and the process for making modifications to
the budgeted positions if needed.
Director Melton made a motion, seconded by Director Kiley, to adopt
Resolution No. 16-01 approving the budgeted positions for Fiscal Year
2016-2017 and rescinding Resolution No. 15-15. Motion carried 5-0 on a
Roll Call vote.
7.3. Requested Input Regarding MWDOC's Water Rate Study
Mr. Conklin explained that historically, MWDOC's rates were originally tax-
based and consisted 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, which expires in June 2016, implemented a migration to a
100% fixed rate structure which was completed this fiscal year. As a
result of this new structure, OCWD does not pay any fees being that it is a
regional groundwater agency and has no retail meters. MWDOC has
requested the Board's opinion regarding the equity of this situation as well
as the method for the potential allocation of fees. The Board then
discussed the situation with OCWD and the proposed rate structure
options.
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held April 14,2016 at 8:30 a.m. 4
Director Melton made a motion, seconded by Director Kiley, to direct staff
to provide a written response to MWDOC indicating that the Board of
Directors was in favor of Scenario 1B over Scenario 1A in relation to
MWDOC's Water Rate Study and the allocation of costs to OCWD.
Motion carried 5-0.
8. DISCUSSION ITEMS
8.1. Line of Credit Agreement Between Wells Fargo Bank and Yorba Linda
Water District
Mrs. Lugo explained that in 2012, the District had entered into an
agreement with Wells Fargo for a line of credit (LOC) in the amount of
$7M. Within the agreement is an option to extend the maturity date. In
2013, the District exercised this option and extended the maturity date to
September 2016. To date, the LOC has been drawn down in the amount
of $6.4M to fund capital projects and staff expects that the residual will be
expended by the end of the current fiscal year. In light of recent events,
staff is planning to bring a discussion item to the Board at the next
workshop meeting regarding the possibility of extending the maturity date
one additional year. This would afford the Board with an opportunity to
bundle all or a portion of the balance in any future refunding process of the
2008 Certificates of Participation.
V& %
Mr. Ben Parker, resident, commented on the potential benefits of
extending the LOC. -
Mrs. Lugo then responded to questions from the Board regarding any
potential penalties for extending the LOC and capital projects being
funded using the LOC.
8. Safe Keeping Services by Pershing for Investments Held at First Empire
Mrs. Lugo explained that same as last year, the District's current auditing
firm would be performing a review of internal controls and the relative
processes and procedures of and between staff and external relations. As
part of this process, they will be requesting letters of confirmation from
entities holding substantial funds (such as financial institutions) and
vendors for which the District has significant expenditures during the
preceding fiscal year. During the audit process last fiscal year, the District
experienced an issue with obtaining a letter of confirmation from Pershing,
the holder of District investments through First Empire (the broker-dealer).
While a comment regarding this matter was included in the FY 2014/15
audit documents, it has no effect on the auditors' opinion of the financial
statements. Mrs. Lugo further explained that it was likely this comment
would be included in the FY 2015/16 audit documents should the District's
investments continue to be held in the same manner. Mrs. Lugo then read
aloud the comment contained in the FY 2014/15 audit documents and
clarified that the District's custodial agreement is with First Empire and not
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held April 14,2016 at 8:30 a.m. 5
directly with Pershing. Additionally, the District does not pay safe keeping
fees to Pershing for these services. Staff is bringing this matter to the
Board's attention in order to obtain feedback regarding any desired action
to be considered at a future meeting. Mrs. Lugo then responded to
questions from the Board and noted that should the District determine to
move its investments to another safe keeper, the estimated fees for doing
so are $1,700 to $2,500 per month. She also stated that Pershing serves
as the safe keeper for multiple municipalities using the same type of
arrangement and that maintaining the status quo in this regard will have
no bearing on the auditors' opinion of the District's financial statements.
No action regarding this matter was requested by the Board at this time.

9.3. General Manager's Report MW
In Mr. Marcantonio's absence, Mr. Conklin asked each of the managers to
provide a report regarding activities within their respective departments.
He then reported on the activities of the Engineering department.
9. General Counsel's Report
Mr. Kidman reported that the recall petition filed against two of the
Directors was formally in circulation. He stated that officially, the District
has no position relative to the merits of the recall petition. However, the
District does have a financial interest in the matter as there will be certain
costs for which YLWD will be responsible associated with the qualification
and recall election processes. Those costs will be substantially magnified
should the petition not be qualified in enough time to be consolidated with
the November election as a special election would need to be called. Mr.
Kidman then instructed the Board that they must not request staff
assistance in connection with the recall petition or the potential recall
election. He also stated that the District could not prevent its employees
from exercising their rights as citizens should they decide to participate in
supporting or opposing a member of the Board. However, any such action
performed while serving in their official capacity as a District employee
should be subject to discipline in accordance with established policy.
Additionally, any distribution of information related to the recall petition and
Minutes of the YLWD Board of Directors Regular Meeting Held April 14,2016 at 8:30 a.m. 6
potential recall election needs to come from the General Manager and the
Public Information Manager in order to ensure compliance with the law.
Mr. Kidman then reported that members of staff had been receiving some
unpleasant mail from persons who are opposed to actions taken by the
Board. Those that were threatening have been turned over to law
enforcement. He explained that while citizens do have the right of free
speech, there is a limit when it comes to threats of harm to other
individuals. Some of the correspondence received has fallen into this
category. In addition, some District employees have been subjected to
harassment and threatening behavior from members of the public. Mr.
Kidman advised that District staff should report any such encounters to
their supervisors and in turn to appropriate authorities if necessary. Mr.
Kidman then concluded his comments by saying that there was going to
be a Closed Session to discuss pending litigation during which no
discussion of the recall petition or potential recall election would take
place.
President Collett thanked Mr. Kidman and commented on the content of
the letters sent to staff.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY
The capability described herein highlights RKI's project design and implementation methodology.
This work description is based on our standard project methodology as applied to the scope of
work and associated proposed Systems Overview drawings supplied with the request for
proposal.
Based on project experience, RKI teams have learned to work within our customers' project
environment. Our success is based on quickly assimilating each customer's technical and
documentation standards, project procedures, construction processes, supplier requirements,
contractual terms and conditions, and preferred contractors and equipment supplier agreements.
In many situations, we function as an extension of our customer's staff and as an integral part of
the project effort.
In addition, we believe that our team can add value to the project execution process based on our
experience and internal company policies and procedures. The methodology assures your
expectations are met and with essential approval steps. You are given the opportunity to
measure RKI performance in a concise and detailed manner that assures the system provided by
RKI exactly meets your expectations. In this role, we take responsibility for the project scope
definition, engineering, start-up assistance, commissioning, project documentation, and training.
RKI's methodology consists of 10 integral phases. Each phase consists of one or more items.
The diagram below illustrates the methodology.

The following describes the phases in RKI's project methodology. The phases do not necessarily
occur sequentially or for every project.
Phase 1 — Proposal
This phase establishes the initial foundation for the working relationship between your staff and
RKI Project team. The proposal establishes the complete framework in which the project will be
completed.
Phase 2— Kickoff Meeting
RKI will participate in a kickoff meeting with our design team upon award of the project contract.
RKI project team members work with you to review the scope of work, review the project
schedule, and document outstanding technical issues and questions.
Phase 3—System Requirements Specification
This phase results in a Systems Requirements Specification document that is developed jointly
with RKI and your team. This document describes in detail the project's goals and objectives,
process capacities, product chemistry, product physical properties, product mixes, control
functions, terminology and preferred hardware and software to be implemented with the project.
Phase 4—System Design Specification and Detailed Design
RKI will perform the detailed design, resulting in a System Design Specification. When
completed, this document is presented to your team for review and approval. This document
becomes the base document for configuration, programming, implementation, testing, start-up,
and acceptance criteria.
Phase 5—Test Plans
This phase consists of the development of the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance
Test (SAT) and other industry specific test plans. When complete, they will be presented for
review and approval. These documents describe the testing procedures and measurement
criteria to determine the system functions as desired.
Phase 6—System Development
The project implementation phase includes equipment, hardware and third party software
procurement and construction. Automation components are assembled, communications
networks are configured and the specific control and display functions are programmed in
accordance to the System Design Specification. Associated plant construction activities are also
coordinated in this phase.

Phase 7— Factory Acceptance Testing
This phase is the integration testing of the system. This test can be witnessed by your team
members in order to assure the delivered system meets the project requirements and provides
the expected benefits.
Phase 8—On-site Support Services
RKI provides field support during construction, equipment installation, and system start-up. This
phase includes execution of the previously submitted SAT Plan (Phase 5)to assure the system is
ready for operation. RKI supports your team through start-up, validation, and training.
Phase 9— Documentation and Training
This phase consists of finalizing project documentation to "as-built" status. In addition, training
will be provided to insure proper transfer of knowledge to key Personnel.
Phase 10—Continuous Improvement
This phase represents the ongoing relationship between your organization and RKI that will have
matured over the life of the project. Because of our in depth experience and knowledge of your
system, we can offer services to help maintain the system and to help you identify additional
enhancements to improve productivity and reduce operating costs.
