4. ACTION CALENDAR

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.

6.1. The meeting was adjourned at 10:35 a.m. The next Citizens Advisory
