A debt management policy should improve the quality of decisions, and articulate policy goals, provide guidelines for the structure of debt issuance, and demonstrate a commitment to long-term capital financial planning. The Yorba Linda Water District Debt Management Policy as set forth herein provides a set of comprehensive guidelines for the issuance and management of District’s debt portfolio. Adherence to the policy is essential to ensure the District maintains a diversified debt portfolio that supports the District’s financing needs and minimizes the District’s cost of funds. 1.3 Roles and Responsibilities Finance Manager - The primary responsibility for debt management rests with the Finance Manager. The Finance Manager shall: • Provide for the issuance of District debt at the lowest possible cost and risk; • Determine the available debt capacity of the District; • Provide for the issuance of District debt at appropriate intervals and in reasonable amounts as required to fund approved and budgeted capital expenditures; • Recommend to the District’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) the method and manner of sale of District debt; • Monitor opportunities to refund debt and recommend such refunding as appropriate to reduce costs or to achieve other policy objectives; • Comply with all Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and California Debt Investment Advisory Commission (“CDIAC”) rules and regulations governing the issuance of debt; 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 2 of 11 • Maintain a current database with all outstanding debt; • Provide for the timely payment of principal and interest on all debt; • Comply with all terms and conditions, including continuing disclosure, required by the legal documents governing the debt issued; • Submit to the Board all recommendations to issue debt in accordance with this Policy; • Distribute to appropriate repositories information regarding the District’s financial condition and affairs at such times and in the form required by law, regulation and general practice; • Provide for the frequent distribution of pertinent information to the rating agencies; • Apply and promote prudent fiscal practices; and • To ensure that proceeds of any debt issued in accordance with its governing documents and this Policy no disbursements shall be make without the approval of the Finance Manager and General Manager. The draw request shall be provided to the District by the project engineer with the consent of the District’s inspector. Approval shall only be provided when the Finance Manager is in receipt of an appropriate certification from the construction project manager with supporting invoices from suppliers and / or contractors evidencing appropriate expenses in connection with the project. In the case of an issue of bonds the proceeds of which will be used by a governmental entity other than the District, the District may rely upon a certification by such other governmental entity that it has adopted the policies described in SB 1029. 2.1 LEGAL GOVERNING PRINCIPLES In the issuance and management of debt, the District shall comply with all legal constraints and conditions imposed by federal, state and local law. The following section highlights the key governing documents and certain debt limitations. 2.2 Governing Law County Water District Law – The District was established in 1959 as a county water district under the County Water District Law, Division 12 of the Water Code of the State of California, as the successor to a private water company that was incorporated in or about 1909, for purposes of supplying water for domestic, irrigation, sanitation, industrial, commercial, recreation and fire suppression use. Federal Tax Law – The District shall issue and manage debt in accordance with the limitations and constraints imposed by federal tax law, to maximize its ability to sell tax-exempt debt. Such constraints include, but are not limited to, private activity tests, review of eligible projects, spend-down tests, and arbitrage rebate limitations. Securities Law – The District shall comply with the requirements of federal and state securities laws in offering District debt and the District shall comply with securities law requirements in providing ongoing disclosure to the securities markets. 2.3 Governing Legal Documents Indenture – The District’s debt issuance is further governed in part by the Indenture of Trust, adopted September 8, 2016 of which constitutes the “Indenture.” The Indenture establishes the basic security structure of debt 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 3 of 11 issued by the District that is secured by Net Water Revenues. Key terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the definition of pledged revenues, the rate covenant and the additional bonds test. A copy of the Indenture can be found in Appendix B. The District shall comply with all limitations imposed under the Indenture, so long as such Indenture is in full force and effect. 2.4 Permitted Debt by Type The District may legally issue both short-term and long-term debt, using the debt instruments described below. The Director of Administrative Services, in consultation with the District’s General Counsel, Bond Counsel, and Financial Advisor shall determine the most appropriate instrument for funding purposes. General Obligation Bonds – The District is empowered, under California law, to levy taxes on all taxable property within its boundaries for the purpose of paying its voter-approved general obligation bonds and, subject to certain limitations. Certificates of Participation – Certificates of Participation (COP) provide debt financing through a lease, installment sale agreement or contract of indebtedness and typically do not require voter approval. Board action is sufficient to legally authorize a COP issue. The District shall pledge net revenues to the repayment of its COPs, under the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture. JPA Revenue Bonds – As an alternative to COPs, the District may obtain financing through the issuance of Debt by a joint exercise of powers agency with such Debt payable from amounts paid by the District under a lease, installment sale agreement, or contract of indebtedness.

Refunding Revenue Bonds – The District is authorized to issue refunding revenue bonds to refund outstanding District indebtedness pursuant to the State of California local agency refunding revenue bond law (Articles 10 and 11 of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code of the State of California). 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 4 of 11 Loans – The District is authorized to enter into loans, installment payment obligations, or other similar funding structures secured by a prudent source, or sources of repayment. Assessment Bonds – The District is authorized to issue assessment bonds pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915, subject to requirements imposed by Proposition 218.

Assessments are levies of charges on real property to pay for projects or services that specifically benefit that parcel of property. Other Obligations – There may be special circumstances when other forms of financing are appropriately utilized by the District. The District will evaluate such proposed transactions on a case-by-case basis. Such other forms include, but are not limited to, grant anticipation notes and judgment or settlement obligation bonds. 2.5 Limitations on Debt Issuance Short-Term Debt – The District’s short-term debt shall not exceed 30 percent of its total debt at the time of issuance.

Senior Lien Long-Term Debt – The District’s senior lien long-term debt, for which net revenues are pledged, shall be limited to that amount for which current and projected revenues generate a senior lien debt service coverage of at least 125 percent. The calculation of debt service shall not include General Obligation Bonds, Assessment Bonds, or Special Tax Bonds to which revenue sources other than pledged revenues, as defined in the Indenture, are pledged. It should be noted that the District will target to issue debt to attempt to meet the senior lien debt service coverage target of 225 percent in keeping with its prudent financial management practices and to maintain credit ratings aligned with rating agency methodologies. 2.6 Purpose for Borrowing The District shall issue debt solely for the purpose of financing the cost of design, engineering acquisition, and/or construction of water and wastewater system improvements in furtherance of the District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Additionally, the District may, subject to Federal tax code limitations, include operational expenses in any debt issuance. 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 5 of 11 2.7 Ethical Standards Governing Conduct Members of the District, the Board and its consultants, service providers, and underwriters shall adhere to standards of conduct as stipulated by the California Political Reform Act, as applicable.

Careful monitoring of such products is required to preserve District credit strength and budget flexibility. Swaps will not be used to speculate on perceived movements in interest rates. Before the District enters into any derivative product associated with debt, the Board shall adopt an interest rate swap policy. 3.1 INTEGRATION OF CAPITAL PLANNING AND DEBT ACTIVITIES 3.2 Evaluating Capital Improvement Program Spending The District shall develop and maintain a capital finance model to evaluate the impact of capital program spending, operations and maintenance costs, and debt service on its financial condition.

In making a recommendation to the Board the Finance Manger may consult with the District’s Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel and may take into account, among other things, the type and tenor of the proposed debt; the District’s credit ratings; the amount of funding necessary; the timing of the needed funds; local and national economic conditions; and general bond market conditions. 5.3 Competitive Bid Method - When necessary to minimize the costs and risks of any District borrowing, the Director of Administrative Services may submit to the Board a request to sell bonds on a competitive basis. Such bids may take the form of hand- delivered or electronically transmitted offers to purchase the bonds. Any competitive sale of District debt will require approval of the Board. District debt issued on a competitive bid basis will be sold to the bidder proposing the lowest true interest cost to the District provided the bid conforms to the official notice of sale. 5.4 Negotiated Bid Method – A negotiated bond issue will provide for the sale of debt by negotiating the terms and conditions of the sale, including price, interest rates, credit facilities, underwriter or remarketing fees, and commissions. Examples of such sales include: • Variable rate demand obligations; • An issue of debt so large that the number of potential bidders would be too limited to provide the District with truly competitive bids; • An issue requiring the ability to react quickly to sudden changes in interest rates (e.g. refunding bonds); • An issue requiring intensive marketing efforts to establish investor acceptance; • An issue of debt with specialized distribution requirements; and • An issue of debt sold during a period of extreme market disruption or volatility. If bonds are sold on a negotiated basis, the negotiations of terms and conditions shall include, but not be limited to, prices, interest rates, underwriting or remarketing fees, and underwriting spreads and timing of sale. The District, with the assistance of its Financial Advisor, shall evaluate the terms offered by the underwriting team. Guidelines with respect to price, interest rates, fees, and underwriting spreads shall be based on prevailing terms and conditions in the marketplace for comparable issuers, credit ratings, tenor and paramount. If more than one underwriter is included in the negotiated sale of debt, the District shall establish appropriate levels of liability, participation and priority of orders. Such levels shall be based upon District policy with regards to the underwriting responsibility among the team members, the desired allocation of total fees, and the desired distribution of bonds. Guidelines for establishing liability, participation, and priority of orders shall be based on prevailing terms and conditions in the marketplace for comparable issuers. The District shall, with the assistance of its Financial Advisor, oversee the bond allocation process. The bond allocation process shall be managed by the lead underwriter, with the following requirements: 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 7 of 11 • The bonds are allocated fairly among members of the underwriting team, consistent with the previously negotiated terms and conditions; • The allocation process complies with all MSRB regulations governing order priorities and allocations; • The lead underwriter shall submit to the Director of Administrative Services a complete and timely account of all orders, allocations, and underwriting activities with the investor names identified as appropriate. The Finance Manager Services shall require a post-sale analysis and reporting for each negotiated bond sale. The Financial Advisor or the lead underwriter may perform such analysis. A post-sale analysis will include, but not be limited to: • Summary of the pricing, including copies of the actual pricing wires; • Results of comparable bond sales in the market at the time of the District’s pricing; • Detailed information on orders and allocation of bonds, by underwriting firm; • Detailed information on final designations earned by each underwriter; and • Summary of total compensation received by each underwriter. STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS 5.5 Pledge of Revenues – The District’s pledge of revenues shall be determined for each debt issue depending upon the debt instrument: • General Obligation Bonds of the District shall be repaid from voter- approved property taxes on property within the jurisdiction of the District. • Certificates of Participation of the District shall be repaid from net revenues, as defined in the Indenture. • Revenue Bonds of the District shall be repaid from net revenues, as defined in the Indenture. • Loans of the District may be repaid from net revenues of the water and or wastewater systems, or other financially prudent sources of repayment. • Assessment Bonds of the District shall be repaid levies or charges collected within an assessment district formed by the District pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913. • Special Tax Bonds of the District shall be payable from net special taxes collected in applicable taxing jurisdiction as a result of the levy of special taxes. 5.6 Maturity – The District may issue tax-exempt debt with an average life equal to, but no greater than 125% of, the average life of the assets being financed. The final maturity of the debt should be no longer than 40 years absent compelling circumstances or facts. Factors to be considered when determining the final maturity of debt include: the average useful life of the assets being financed, relative level of interest rates, intergenerational equity and the year-to-year differential in interest rates. 5.7 Maturity Structure – The District’s long-term debt may include serial and term bonds. Other maturity structures may also be considered if they are consistent with prudent financial management practices. 5.8 Coupon Structure – Debt may include par, discount and premium. Discount and premium bonds must be demonstrated to be advantageous relative to par bond structures taking into consideration market conditions and 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 8 of 11 opportunities. For variable rate debt, the variable rate may be based on one of a number of commonly used interest rate indices and the index will be determined at the time of pricing. 5.9 Debt Service Structure – Debt service may be structured primarily on an approximate level (combined annual principal and interest) basis. Certain individual bond issues, such as refunding bonds, may have debt service that is not level. However, on an aggregate basis, debt service should be structured primarily on a level basis. 5.10 Redemption Features – In order to preserve flexibility and refinancing opportunities, District debt will generally be issued with call provisions. The District may consider calls that are shorter than traditional and/or non-call debt when warranted by market conditions and opportunities. For each transaction, the District will evaluate the efficiency of call provision alternatives. 5.11 Credit Enhancement – The District shall competitively procure credit enhancement for an original sale of bonds if the Finance Director, in consultation with the Financial Advisor and the senior underwriter, determines that it is cost effective to do so. The Finance Director may in consultation with the Financial Advisor and the senior underwriter determine that due to certain circumstances a sole source procurement process may be more advantageous than a competitive process. 5.12 Senior/Subordinate Lien – The District may utilize both a senior and a subordinate lien structure. The choice of lien will be determined based on such factors as overall cost of debt, impact on debt service, impact on rates, and marketing considerations. 5.13 Debt Service Reserve Funds – The District shall provide for debt service reserve funds to secure District debt when necessary. 6.1 COMMUNICATION AND DISCLOSURE 6.2 Rating Agencies The District shall maintain its strong ratings through prudent fiscal management and consistent communications with the rating analysts.

Web Site – The District may use its website as a tool for providing timely information to investors. 7.1 REFUNDING POLICIES The District shall strive to refinance debt to maximize savings and minimize the cost of funds as market opportunities arise. A net present value analysis will be prepared that identifies the economic effects of any refunding to be proposed to the Board. The District shall target a 3% net present value savings for current and 5% for advance refunding transactions. Upon the advice of the Director of Administrative Services, with the assistance of the Financial Advisor and Counsel, the District will consider undertaking refundings for other than economic purposes, such as to restructure debt, change the type of debt instruments being used, or to retire a bond issue and indenture in order to remove undesirable covenants. 7.2 Savings Thresholds – Minimum savings thresholds have been established to help guide the economic analysis of refunding bonds. The minimum savings guidelines are applicable on a maturity-by-maturity basis and are expressed as a percentage of refunded bond par calculated by dividing the expected net present value savings generated by the proposed refunding by the par amount of refunded bonds. At the recommendation of the Director of Administrative Services, with the assistance of the Financial Advisor, the District may complete a refunding for net present values savings equal to the target specified above on an aggregate bond issue basis rather than a maturity by maturity basis. Generally, the District shall only refund bonds to generate debt service savings of the specified minimum savings set forth in the previous paragraph can be achieved. 7.3 Coupon on Refunded Bond – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration whether the coupon on the refunded bond is significantly higher or lower than the most common outstanding bond coupons of approximately five percent. 7.4 General Interest Rate Environment – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration whether the available refunding bond interest rates are generally high or generally low relative to long-term averages of historical rates. 7.5 General Interest Rate Outlook – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration the general outlook for future interest rates, as derived from economic forecasts, market forecasts, implied forward rates, or other sources. 7.6 Debt Management Considerations – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration debt management issues such as cost and staff efficiencies associated with combining multiple refunding bond issues or combining refunding and new money bond issues. 3010-003 Debt Management Policy Page 10 of 11 7.7 Call Date – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration the amount of time between the pricing/closing date of the refunding Debt and the call date of the Debt to be refunded. 7.8 Final Maturity Date – The Director of Administrative Services may take into consideration the amount of time remaining until the final maturity of the Debt to be refunded. 8.1 REINVESTMENT OF PROCEEDS 8.2 General – The District shall comply with all applicable Federal, State, and contractual restrictions regarding the use and investment of bond proceeds. This includes compliance with restrictions on the types of investment securities allowed, restrictions on the allowable yield of some invested funds, as well as restrictions on the time period during over which some bond proceeds may be invested.
