BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District (San Bernardino Valley) was formed in 1954 as a regional agency to plan a long-range water supply for the San Bernardino Valley. The District imports water into the service area through participation in the State Water Project and manages groundwater storage within our boundaries. San Bernardino Valley’s service area covers around 353 square miles that spans the eastern two-thirds of the San Bernardino Valley, the Crafton Hills, and a portion of the Yucaipa Valley, and includes the cities and communities of Bloomington, Colton, East Highland, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Mentone, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Yucaipa. San Bernardino Valley supplies both local and State Water Project water for direct delivery to retail water agencies like East Valley Water District. In addition, San Bernardino Valley is responsible for "re-filling" or recharging certain groundwater basins to ensure that the basins have adequate water supplies to meet the needs of the retail water agencies and residents within its service area. A staff member from San Bernardino Valley will be presenting an update on State Water Project deliveries in 2023. AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES I - Implement Effective Solutions Through Visionary Leadership A. Identify Opportunities to Optimize Natural Resources C.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS The East Valley Water District (District) periodically reviews the Salary Schedule and classifications to ensure alignment with the required duties of each position. The District is proposing to create a new classification for Water and Wastewater Compliance Supervisor at salary range 49. In addition, the Senior Administrative Assistant classification will be filled again this Fiscal Year and will be added to the Salary Schedule at salary range 34. While the changes to the positions and salary ranges listed above are allowable under the General Manager's authority, CalPERS requires that each employment position and pay rate be identified in a publicly available pay schedule (CalPERS Regulations, 2 CCR 570.5). Provided as Exhibit "A" is the revised salary rate ranges for adoption. When the Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) comes online, the District will assume wastewater treatment authority from the City of San Bernardino, requiring the District to establish and implement a source control program, which includes proactive inspection and monitoring of dischargers into the sewer collection system. Currently, inspection services are being performed by the City of San Bernardino Municipal Water Department’s Environmental Control Section. Following the transition of flows to the SNRC, the District must have someone dedicated to managing this program. The Water and Wastewater Compliance Supervisor job classification has been created to effectively manage the Water Quality and Source Control Programs (see attached job classification). The Water Quality Coordinator classification is insufficient for the additional duties and will therefore be eliminated and superseded with the Water and Wastewater Compliance Supervisor classification. Based on the results of market compensation analysis, and internal alignment within the Operations Supervisor classifications, the Water and Wastewater Compliance Supervisor will be placed at Agenda Item #4a August 9, 20232 Meeting Date: August 9, 2023 Agenda Item #4a Discussion Item range 49 on the District’s Salary Schedule. The Water and Wastewater Compliance Supervisor will be a non-represented, non-exempt, general/confidential classification. AGENCY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES I - Implement Effective Solutions Through Visionary Leadership D. Encourage Performance Based Results through Staff Empowerment III - Deliver Public Service With Purpose While Embracing Continuous Growth C. Promote a Positive Organizational Culture IV - Promote Planning, Maintenance and Preservation of District Resources REVIEW BY OTHERS This agenda item has been reviewed by the Finance and Human Resources Committee. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact associated with this item is included in the FY 2023/2024 budget.

BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS The State of California has passed a series of legislations to implement water usage standards for water utilities. The "Making Conservation a California Way of Life" legislation requires water utilities to track water usage across all customer classes. The WaterView software platform is a State approved tool to identify usage for indoor and outdoor water usage across residential and commercial customer classes. Currently, Eagle Aerial is the only supplier of the WaterView software platform. East Valley Water District (District) solicited a proposal from Eagle Aerial to provide the platform for three years. The proposed agreement is for a three-year term with Eagle Aerial Solutions for an amount of $117,843 ($39,281 per fiscal year). The Eagle Aerial Solutions contract will allow the District to secure the WaterView software platform to comply with requirements mandated by the State Water Resources Control Board. The District has used the WaterView software platform for the past two years. The platform incorporates state-of-the-art technology to create maps of water consumption across the District, visually identifies high water users, and allows staff to target conservation outreach to high usage customers. The tool will analyze total water allocation for the District’s entire residential service area and at an individual residential parcel level. This data is also needed to comply with new reporting requirements. , The new water conservations regulations require agencies to report water usage on a monthly basis to achieve standards for indoor and outdoor usage. District meters only measure the total flow to each customer. The WaterView software platform uses aerial imagery, GIS data and the District’s Automated Meter Information (AMI) system to calculate the indoor and outdoor usage information for the District. The incremental water usage information across customer classes will allow the District to perform the required reporting and promote water efficiency.

Security of the WaterViewTM Platform: Eagle Aerial Solutions developed the WaterView portal in partnership with LightBox using their existing stable and robust online mapping technology. LightBox, formerly Digital Map Products, has been a pioneer in this industry and has been providing mapping services for over 20 years to large enterprise and government customers including Zillow, Google, Apple, CBRE and the State of California. Today, the company's location intelligence platform is used by four out of the six top real estate websites, four out of the top five commercial brokerage firms, all 10 of the top home builder brands, more than 200 government agencies, and four of the largest gas and electric utility companies. LightBox serves a global customer base with offices in the United States and Canada, and has provided the following security statement. At LightBox, we realize that Security is not a one-time event, it is a journey, a posture. While we always invested in this area, we made significant new investments, and are continuing to benchmark and improve ourselves continually. We have chosen to align ourselves with ISO 27001 as the standards framework for our policy, standards, and procedures/controls, though we are not certified to that standard at this time. LightBox utilizes the latest technologies to keep our customers, data, and applications secure. From the end-user perspective, you can rest assured knowing our login and authentication modules at the forefront of the application utilize Secure Sockets Layer encryption. The rest of our security efforts are transparent to the end- user. Our in-house security infrastructure is sourced from industry-leading manufacturers, consisting of several highly available ASA firewalls and enterprise-grade layer-3 switches from Cisco, and application delivery controllers from F5. On the datacenter front, we have multiple, geographically disparate locations, each of which are fully staffed and monitored at all times, and undergo regular security audits to maintain their SAS-70 Type II-certification. From the application servers to the end-user, there are no single points of failure. Despite these various levels of redundancy, we utilize three different monitoring services to make sure we are meeting our service level agreements and proactively engaging any issue that may arise. Organizationally, we employ best practices to limit who has access to production infrastructure, including application servers and customer data. To ensure we are following these best practices and staying current with industry standards we commission yearly audits and penetration tests of our own infrastructure by a third-party security vendor with specialty knowledge and expertise in identifying weaknesses from physical, network, staff, phishing, and application perspectives. 7 Jazmine Molloy Director of Product Development 3333 Michelson Dr, Suite 300, Irvine, CA 92612 (714)754-7670 ext 700 www.eagleaerial.com Pricing: East Valley – WaterView SaaS Subscription Renewal Total Connections: 21,000 User Seats: 6 (additional seats can be purchased if necessary) WaterViewTM 3 YEAR AGREEMENT Annual Subscription Cost $43,645 CalWEP Member Discount ($4,364) Total Discounted Annual Subscription Cost $39,281 *This pricing is based on a multi-year contract and is locked in for the term of the contract.
