Subject:Vehicle Replacement Purchase
SUMMARY:
In the FY 2016/17 District Capital Outlay Budget, funds were approved to purchase replacement
vehicles for the Operations Department. In compliance with the District’s purchasing policy, staff
drafted specifications for the vehicle and requested quotes from multiple dealerships. The following
dealerships were sent the specifications and responded with quotes: George Chevrolet, Guaranty
Chevrolet, Simpson Chevrolet, Fairway Ford, Ken Grody Ford and Villa Ford.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to purchase two vehicles from George
Chevrolet for the total amount of $30,227.93.
DISCUSSION:
Prior to requesting quotes for vehicle purchases, the District’s Mechanical Services Division met
with the Operations Department to confirm their vehicle needs listed in the approved budget. It was
determined that a full size pickup truck for Operations would meet their department’s needs. The
original budget was to purchase a full size 1 ton heavy duty truck with a lift gate for approximately
$37,000. The 1/2 ton truck can be purchased for less than the 1 ton with lift gate, this will save
approximately $6,000 from the 2016/17 vehicle equipment and capital outlay budget.
Below is a list of each vehicle and the cost quote from the dealerships for the full purchase price of
the vehicle. The funds are approved in the FY 2016/17 District Capital Outlay Budget. The vehicle
that will be replaced is also listed, including current year and mileage.
1. Operations requested a full size 1/2 ton pickup truck to replace Vehicle #148, a full size 2001
GMC Sierra with over 78,000 miles and excessive wear.
George Chevrolet: $30,227.93
Fairway Ford: $31,789.75
Villa Ford: $32,130.10
Ken Grody Ford: $32,362.00
Simpson GMC: $36,818.23
Guaranty Chevrolet: $39,783
The low quote is George Chevrolet for a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. An additional $1,000 will be
spent on a tool box, safety lighting and equipment.

the east side of the development. Because, the existing 6-inch water main in Lathrop Drive was
constructed in 1954 and is a maintenance liability, staff will require the applicant to abandon and replace
this existing water main and appurtenances.
The project is located within Drainage Area "2" of the District's Sewer Service Area. The District has an
existing 6-inch on-site sewer main south and west of the proposed project site that terminates at a cleanout.
The applicant will extend the sewer main onto the proposed development along with installation of four
manholes, six private house laterals and one sewer lateral stub-out for a potential future connection, as
shown on the attached exhibit.
The Terms and Conditions for Water and Sewer Service with HQT HOMES 215, LLC are attached for your
consideration.

Meeting Date: December 8, 2016
To:Board of Directors
From:Marc Marcantonio, General
Manager
Presented By:Marc Marcantonio, General
Manager
Dept:Administration
Prepared By:Annie Alexander, Executive
Secretary
Subject:Amendments to the District's Conflict of Interest Code
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors approve Resolution No. 16-22 Adopting a Conflict of Interest Code which
Supersedes all Prior Conflict of Interest Codes and Amendments Previously Adopted.
DISCUSSION:
In compliance with Section 87300 of the California Government Code, the Board of Directors has adopted
a Conflict of Interest Code, governing the disclosure of financial interests by certain designated employees
of the District. The Political Reform Act requires every local government agency to review its code on a
biennial basis. Staff recently reviewed the District's code and has identified the following minor revisions:
The position of SCADA Administrator was renamed to Chief Water System Operator.
The position of Public Information Manager was renamed to Communications Manager.
The position of Attorney is being renamed to General Counsel to specifically identify the attorney
type.
The position of Human Resources and Risk Manager was reclassified to Human Resources/Risk
and Safety Manager.
The position of Labor Counsel was added to differentiate it from General Counsel and the generic
title of "attorney".
The attached exhibit reflects these modifications. Amendments must be submitted in the County's
eDisclosure System by December 30, 2016 and will not be considered in effect until approved by the
Orange County Board of Supervisors.
PRIOR RELEVANT BOARD ACTION(S):
The District's Conflict of Interest Code was last amended on October 21, 2014 by Resolution No. 14-16.

California Code of Regulations, Section 18730, which contains terms for a
standard model Conflict of Interest Code, which, together with amendments
thereto, may be adopted by public agencies and incorporated by reference
to save public agencies time and money by minimizing the actions required
of such agencies to keep their codes in conformity with the Political Reform
Act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Yorba Linda
Water District as follows:
Section 1. The terms of Title 2, California Code of Regulations, Section 18730 and any
amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission
are hereby incorporated by reference and, together with Exhibits A and B in
which positions are designated and disclosure categories are set forth,
constitute the Conflict of Interest Code of the Yorba Linda Water District.
Section 2. The provisions of all Conflict of Interest Codes and Amendments thereto
previously adopted by the Yorba Linda Water District are hereby
superseded.
Section 3. The Filing Officer is hereby authorized to submit the updated Conflict of
Interest Code to the Clerk of the Orange County Board of Supervisors for
review and approval by the Orange County Board of Supervisors as
required by California Government Code Section 87303.

Subject:Establishment of Committees and Committee, Agency and Intergovernmental
Meeting Assignments
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors: (1) consider the currently established committees and determine their
continuing relevance; and (2) review the available committee, agency and intergovernmental
meeting assignments and provide their preferences to the newly elected President by Wednesday,
December 14, 2016.
DISCUSSION:
Pursuant to the Board of Directors' Policies and Procedures (Resolution No. 16-12), the newly
elected President shall make committee, agency, and intergovernmental meeting assignments,
subject to consent of the Board, following the annual reorganization of the Board of Directors. In
addition, the purpose of each established committee shall be reviewed by the Board, prior to making
these assignments, in order to determine their continuing relevance.
The previous Board established three joint/interagency committees and one citizens advisory
committee. Two Board members will also need to be assigned to serve as Active and Alternate
Directors for the Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) and historically, the Directors have
attended a number of intergovernmental meetings on a regular basis.
The Total Budgeted and Estimated Cost amounts listed above include compensation for Board,
Committee and intergovernmental meeting attendance at a maximum of $150 per day up to 10 days
per calendar month as allowed by statute and established by Ordinance No. 03-01.
OCSD Board members are compensated by OCSD at a rate of $212.50 per day for meeting
attendance (up to six meetings a month with the average being two) and receive no health
insurance benefits from OCSD. The Chair may be compensated for up to 10 meetings per month.
The Active director may also be asked to participate on one or more OCSD committees.
The attached list has been provided to facilitate the process of identifying Directors' assignment
preferences. Staff is suggesting that requests be submitted to the newly elected President by
Wednesday, December 14, 2016 in preparation for posting of the agenda for the next regular Board
meeting on Thursday, December 22, 2016. The Board may elect to extend this process, however
the assignments for OCSD must be made as soon as possible in order to avoid a vacancy for an
extended period of time.

AGENDA REPORT
Meeting Date: December 8, 2016
To:Board of Directors
From:Marc Marcantonio, General
Manager
Presented By:Gina Knight, HR/Risk Manager Dept:Human
Resources/Risk
Management
Reviewed by Legal:Yes
Prepared By:Gina Knight, HR/Risk Manager
Subject:Determination of Agency Designated Representative
SUMMARY:
In the interest of maintaining the employment relationship with the General Manager, the Board of
Directors will need to consider designating a representative to enter into negotiations with Mr. Marc
Marcantonio to extend his employment with the District as his present agreement is set to expire on
September 1, 2017.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Directors consider and identify an agency designated representative to
negotiate an amendment to the present employment agreement with the General Manager.
DISCUSSION:
On October 27, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the Board President to negotiate salary and
benefits with the General Manager and to present his recommendation to the Board of Directors at a
regular Board meeting.
A staff report was presented to the Board of Directors on November 21, 2016. The former Board of
Directors voted to have the new Board of Directors be the party responsible for negotiating a new
contract with the General Manager.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 54957.6 (a): Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a
legislative body of a local agency may hold closed sessions with the local agency's designated
representative regarding the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe
benefits of its represented and unrepresented employees, and, for represented employees, any other
matter within the statutorily provided scope of representation. However, prior to the closed session, the
legislative body of the local agency shall hold an open and public session in which it identifies its
designated representatives.
Since the former designated representative is no longer with the District, the new Board members will
need to consider a new representative and identify the new representative to continue negotiations with
the General Manager. Prior to the Board entering into closed session, to discuss any and all
recommendations to the General Manager's existing employment agreement, the new designated
representative will need to be identified.

California's Open Mlaw
Presented by: Kidman Law LLP

Legislative Intent of
the Brown A.411
Public agencies in this State exist to aid in the conduct of the
people's business. It is the intent of the law that their actions
be taken openly and that their deliberations be conducted
openly.
The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public
servants the right to decide what is good for the people to
know and what is not good for them to know. The people
insist on remaining informed so that they may retain control
over the instruments they have created .
What is a ' Meeting" ?
Any congregation of [1] a majority of the members of a
legislative body at the same time and place [2] to hear, discuss,
or deliberate upon any item [3] that is within the subject matter
jurisdiction of the Board or the local agency to which it pertains.
• The Test is not whether a majority of a legislative body
attends the function, but whether subject matter within the
jurisdiction of the District is discussed .
Six Exceptions to a 'Meeting'
1. Individual Contacts
• The first exception involves individual contacts between a
member of the Board and any other person . This exception
recognizes the right to confer with constituents, advocates,
consultants, news reporters, local agency staff or a colleague.
• Individual contacts, however, cannot be used to do in stages
what would be prohibited in one step. For example, a series of
individual contacts that leads to discussion, deliberation or
action among a majority of the members of a legislative body
is prohibited. Such serial meetings are discussed below.
Six Exceptions to a ' Meeting'
2 Conferences
The second exception allows a Board majority to attend a
conference or similar gathering open to the public that
addresses issues of general interest to the public or to
the public agency.
This exception permits Board members to attend annual
association conferences of city, county, school, and other
local agency officials, so long as those meetings are open
to the public.
Six Exceptions to a ' Meeting'
3. Community Meetings
The third exception allows a Board majority to attend
a n open and publicized meeting h e l d by a n of h e r
organization to address a topic of local community
concern .
Under this exception, a Board majority may attend a
local service club meeting or a local candidates' night
if the meetings are open to the public.
Six Exceptions to a ' Meeting'
4. Other legislative Bodies
The fourth exception allows a majority of a legislative body to
attend an open and publicized meeting of: (a) another body
of the local agency, or (b) a legislative body of another local
agency.
For example, a city council or a majority of a board of
supervisors to attend a controversial meeting of the planning
commission .
Six Exceptions to a ' Meeting'
5. Standing Committees
The fifth exception authorizes the attendance of a
majority at an open and noticed meeting of a standing
committee of the legislative body, provided that the
legislative body members who are not members of the
standing committee attend only as observers ( meaning
that they cannot speak or otherwise participate in the
meeting) .
Six Exceptions to a ' Meeting'
6. Social or Ceremonial Events
The sixth and final exception permits a majority of a
legislative body to attend a purely social or
ceremonial occasion . Nothing in the Brown Act
prevents a majority of members from attending the
same football game, party, wedding, funeral,
reception, or farewell .
r Vii- ��-�� -� ���►�_ �?� . `` �

Collective Briefing
None of these six exceptions permits a majority
of the Board to meet together with staff in
advance of a meeting for a collective briefing.
-ierial Meetings
I a majority of the Board shall not, outside a
meeting,
use a series of communications of any kind,
directly or through intermediaries (e .g. emails),
to discuss, deliberate, or take action on any item
of business
that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the
legislative body.
Serial Meetings
44*4
EMAILS H !
Particular care should be exercised when staff
briefings of the Board members occur by email
because of the ease of using the "reply to all"
button that may inadvertently result in a Brown Act
violation

Public Participation
Every agenda for a regular meeting must allow members of
the public to speak on any item of interest, so long as the item
is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the District.
Further, the public must be allowed to speak on a specific
item of business before or during the Board's consideration of
it.
The Board cannot prohibit public criticism of policies,
procedures, programs, or services of the agency or the acts or
omissions of the Board itself.
� �✓-- '��� .� �� -sem
Limits on • Participation
The Board may adopt reasonable regulations,
including time limits, on public comments .
Such regulations should be enforced fairly and
without regard to speakers' viewpoints .
The legislative body has discretion to modify
its regulations regarding time limits on public
comment if necessary.

Responding to the Public
What happens when a member of the public raises a
subject not on the agenda?
The Brown Act allows members of the Board, or its
staff, to :
I "briefly respond" to such comments or questions,
provide a reference to staff or other resources for
factual information, or
3 . direct staff to place the issue on a future agenda .

Non-Agenda Items
The Brown Actgenerallyrohibits anp v

Boa • • Staff) •
Even without a comment from the public, a Board member or
staff may:
1 ask for information,
request a report back,
3 request to place a matter on the agenda for a subsequent
meeting,
4 ask a question for clarification,
5 make a brief announcement, or
6 briefly report on his or her own activities.
Closed Session
Private discussions among a majority of the
Board are prohibited, unless expressly authorized
under the Brown Act.
It is not enough that a subject is sensitive,
embarrassing, or controversial .
Without specific authority in the Brown Act for a
closed session, a matter must be discussed in
,public.
Closed Sessions
The most common purpose of a closed session
is to avoid revealing confidential information
that may, in specified circumstances, prejudice
the legal or negotiating position of the District
or compromise the privacy interests of
employees .
Confidentiality of Closed Sessions
The Brown Act prohibits the disclosure of
confidential information acquired in a closed session
by any person present and offers various remedies
to address willful breaches of confidentiality.
These remedies include injunctive relief, disciplinary
action against an employee, and referral of a
member of the Board to the grand jury.
