The Finance Accounting Committee held a meeting on May 25, 2004. Present were

committee.
1. State Budget: Staff members reported that the District will lose approximately
40% of the property taxes to the state. The committee discussed how this would
affect the tax for the Revenue Bond. The committee requested that the staff monitor
this issue and report back to the committee and Board of Directors.
2. OCWD Rate Increase: The staff members and committee members discussed how
OCWD losing property taxes to the state could impact the District. This can greatly
affect the District's water cost.

presented to the Board for annual review in July 2004. Staff is currently reviewing
the policy.
4. CalPERS Retirement: Staff members reported that for the past several years the
District has not had to pay the employer or employee's portion, as the District was
super funded. The super fund is used up and for the year 2004-2005 the employer's
portion is estimated to be approximately $245,000. In fiscal year 2005-2006 staff
estimates the District's cost will be approximately $359,000. The committee
discussed this item and requested that staff report to the committee any changes.
