R E COMME N D AT IO N:
Authorize staff to b egin the pro ces s of refunding the Dis trict’s 2010 and 2013 R evenue Bo nds .
B AC KG R O UN D / AN ALYS IS :
O n O c tober 9, 2010, East Valley Water Dis tric t (EVW D) is s ued $33,545,000 in refund ing revenue b ond s in
o rder to provid e $16 million fo r c ap ital impro vement projects , and to refinanc e all o f the Dis tric t’s then
o utstanding debt. R efinanc ing the o ld debt reduc ed the Dis tric t’s future d ebt s ervice p ayments on that portio n o f
the b o nds by $1.8 millio n.
T he 2010 bo nds that were issued carry a no-call p ro vis io n fo r the first 10 years they are o uts tanding. T hat 10-
year p eriod will end o n O c tober 1, 2020, allo wing the Dis trict to look at market c o nditions and c ons id er a bond
refinanc ing, if b eneficial.
S taff spoke with the Distric t’s financ ial advis o rs, F ieldman, R olapp & As s o c iates (F ield man R olapp ) and was
info rmed that the exp iratio n o f the no -call provis io n on the 2010 bo nds comes at an opportune time for many
reasons . F irst, high net wo rth individ uals in C alifo rnia were ad vers ely imp ac ted b y the rec ent tax reform ac t, due
to the limit o n s tate taxes that c an be d ed ucted , s o fund s are pouring into the munic ip al bond market as investo rs
look for tax exemp t income. F urther, inves tors are willing to pay s ignific ant p remiums to o b tain the 4% to 5%
s tated interest rates o n munic ip al bonds, bringing the true interest c o s ts (T I C ) to is suers to belo w 2.5% – near
his toric lo ws o ver the pas t 20 years . F inally, the numb er o f b o nd trans ac tions b y C alifo rnia utilities is d own,
c reating hyper-demand for b o nd s from agencies like EVW D when they are offered for sale.
F ieldman R olapp, has run s o me refinancing s c enario s for the 2010 bo nds , and b as ed o n their recent experienc es
with s imilar bond trans actio ns , estimates that refinancing the 2010 bond s c o uld s ave the Dis tric t app ro ximately
$260,000 annually for the next 20 years , o r a to tal o f $5.4 millio n.
F ieldman R o lap p als o modeled refinanc ing of the 2013 R evenue bonds is s ued to financ e the headquarters
c o nstruc tio n. T here are s till three years left on the no -call p rovis io n for thes e bonds, so a refinancing at this p o int
wo uld b e an ad vanc ed refund ing. As a cons equenc e, under a new federal law pass ed in 2017, the Distric t’s o nly
o ptio n wo uld b e to is s ue taxable munic ip al b o nds rather than tax-exempt b o nds , which res ults in higher yield s
than tax-exempt debt. S till, the mo d eling s hows that the Dis trict c ould s ave ap p ro ximately $80,000 annually by
refinanc ing the 2013 bonds fo r total s avings of $1.9 millio n over 23 years.

C hief F inancial O fficer
refinanc ing the 2013 bonds fo r total s avings of $1.9 millio n over 23 years.
O ne potential p itfall in go ing to the c red it markets to refund bonds is that the pro ces s will invo lve a rating agency
review, and there is the remote po s s ib ility that the District’s c redit rating of AA- could be d o wngrad ed . No rmally
this is no t a c onc ern, b ut with the Dis tric t c urrently in the middle of such a large undertaking as the S NR C ,
investo rs will likely b e looking fo r assurances ab o ut revenue pro jectio ns that we canno t yet provid e, fo r example,
a c ompleted cost of s ervice analysis fo r wastewater treatment, with adopted rates , and completed agreements
with Ed is on fo r s ale bac k to the grid of exces s energy p ro d uced by the diges ters . T hes e items should b e

ALTO DR
Reach No. 9 of the East Trunk Sewer Main on Lynwood Dr, Harrison St, and 35th St, between
Manhole #0480139, Manhole #0480082 and Manhole #0380106: Starting at the intersection of
Lynwood Dr and Mountain Ave, at Manhole #0480139, travel westerly to the intersection of Lynwood Dr
and Harrison St, encompassing Manhole #0480160, #0480161, #0480109, #0480107, #0480108,
#0480110, #0480084, and #0480082. Manhole #0480082 is located in the intersection of Lynwood Dr
and Harrison St. SBMWD sewer flows entering Manhole #0480082 from the south and west. EVWD
sewer flows entering Manhole #0480082 from the north. The combined flows exit to the east. From
the intersection of Lynwood Dr and Harrison St, turn north onto Harrison St and continue northerly to
the intersection of Harrison St and 35th St, encompassing Manhole #0480083, #0480111, #0480112,
#0480113, #0480114, #0480115 and #0380042. Turn east onto 35th St and continue easterly to the
intersection of 35th St and Del Rey Dr. Manhole #0380106, located approximately 25 feet south and 21
feet east of the west side corner of 35th St and Del Rey Dr, is the upstream west tie‐in point of the East
Trunk Sewer Mains. SBMWD sewer flows entering Manhole #0380106 from the north using Pipe ID
#03800510380106 and from the east using Pipe ID #03800520380106. The combined EVWD and
SBMWD flows exit to the west. Reach No. 9 contains approximately 5,275 feet of Vitrified Clay Pipe
ranging in sizes between 8‐inch and 12‐inch, and seventeen manholes. Manhole #0480082 and
Manhole #0380106 are owned by EVWD. Because two SBMWD sewer lines tie into these manholes,
EVWD shall also be responsible for the SBMWD sewer line connections to the manholes and any
maintenance, repair, or replacement of the SBMWD sewer lines for a distance up to five feet from the
manhole walls. Please see map ETSM‐09.

Role of the Board
The primary role of the Board is to establish policies that guide the District to meet its mission. The
policy decisions and actions of the Board constitute the "action" of the Board of Directors.
The Board has three (3) major responsibilities:
1. Promote the best interests of the District's customers by establishing policies that support the
vision and mission of the District and by ensuring the implementation of those policies. Policies
include the governing principles, plans, and course of action for the organization. Policy‐making

provide parameters within which staff can operate. Policy‐making sets the overall direction for
the District.
2. The Board shall establish policies that ensure fiscal stability and the effective use of funds. In
order to achieve this, each fiscal year the Board adopts a budget covering the anticipated
revenues and expenditures of the District and reviews monthly and quarterly budget reports
throughout the year. Additionally, from time to time, the Board reviews and/or adopts
amendments to the District's cash reserve, investment, and other policies as necessary.
3. Hire a General Manager and CEO to manage the day‐to‐day operations of the District. The Board
holds the General Manager/CEO accountable for the effective operational management of the
District. An additional responsibility of the Board is to properly evaluate the General
Manager/CEO on an annual basis.
In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the Board shall adhere to the following basic policy guidelines:
1. That the Board of Directors provides policy direction and leadership for the District.
2. That Board members recognize and respect the distinction between the policy setting role and
the day‐to‐day implementation of policy by staff.
3. That it is the responsibility of the Board (from a policy perspective) to ensure that the District is
a progressive, innovative, and well‐managed agency.
4. That the Board exercises authority only collectively as a Board, and individual Board members
shall not act on their own volition.
5. That the Board understands and provides leadership in regional, state, and national issues
affecting the operations of the District.

executive assistantthe District Clerk is notified in a timely manner.
10. That Board members are provided the same information, where practical, including staff
reports, committee agendas, customer inquiries, background information, etc.

authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code for County Water District. The District is governed
by an elected Board of Directors who has have authority to manage and conduct the business and affairs
of the District, including the authority to fix terms and conditions of employment (including
compensation) of District employees. The Board is authorized to delegate those powers. The Board has

understand his/her respective role and the relationship they have to other members of the Board and to
the General Manager/CEO. This also requires an understanding of the level of performance required to
carry out the duties of a Board Member. The officers of the Board of Directors include the Chairman and
Vice‐Chairman. The Secretary to the Board of Directors is defined within the State Water Code as the
General Manager/CEO of the District. Officers of the District are selected every two years corresponding

Chapter 4 – Staff Interaction
The efficient and effective delivery of services to the customers of the East Valley Water District is a
collaborative effort between the elected members of the Board of Directors and those individuals
employed to execute the District’s day‐to‐day operations. The Board’s relationship and interaction with
its professional staff must be carefully cultivated and nurtured at all times.
The Board’s Relationship with the General Manager/CEO
One of the most vital relationships the District Board has is between itself and its General Manager/CEO.
The General Manager/CEO is the primary agent of the Board and is the one to whom the Board
delegates its authority to manage and administer the District's daily operations in accordance with
approved policies. This position is important because to be successful, the District requires leadership
and vision from its General Manager/CEO. In this capacity, the General Manager/CEO has two roles:
Chief Executive Officer and top advisor to the Board. As the most visible employee, the General
Manager/CEO truly represents the District to its many constituencies.
Much of the District’s success will be dependent upon a positive relationship between the Board and its
General Manager/CEO. Paradoxically, the leadership nature of both parties means that this relationship
will likely create some inherent tensions; a strong Board and a strong General Manager/CEO will not
always agree on every issue. However, both must consciously focus on maintaining a shared sense of
purpose, open communication, honesty, trust and mutual support. While the General Manager/CEO is
hired to carry out Board policy directives, the Board also looks to him/her for guidance and leadership.
One of the most important decisions a Board will make is the selection of a General Manager/CEO in
whom they have confidence. The Board must be able to support the decisions of the General
Manager/CEO and grant him/her the authority to manage and lead the District. This is critical for
building the General Manager/CEO’s credibility with the staff and the community. Both parties should
always publicly support each other.
It is the General Manager/CEO’s responsibility to ensure that the Board members have all the
information they need to make Board‐level decisions and that all Board members are provided the same
information. Board members expect the General Manager/CEO to make a recommendation on every
issue before the Board, except those that are strictly reserved to the Board.
The following are guidelines are intended to help define the relationship between the Board and the
General Manager/CEO:
8
Adopted October 8, 2014
1. The General Manager/CEO prepares annual goals which are approved by the Board of Directors
as a part of a formal performance review process.
2. The Board of Directors will provide the General Manager/CEO with a written evaluation
annually.
3. Board members are encouraged to contact the General Manger/CEO about any subject related
to the operations of the District. Similarly, the General Manger/CEO may discuss any District
related issue with any member of the Board of Directors.
4. Concerns regarding overall District operations or specific department issues or department
heads are addressed with the General Manager/CEO.
5. Critical information will be provided to all members of the Board by the General Manager/CEO,
which feedback may be verbal, written, or electronic in nature.
6. The General Manager/CEO handles interdepartmental issues .
7. The General Manager/CEO shall advise the Board of Directors when he/she is out of the office
for an extended period of time and shall designate the individual who shall be acting General
Manager/CEO during that time.
Request for Staff Resources
Individual Board member requests for research or otherby staff work must be directed to the General
Manager/CEO, or the District’s legal counsel regarding legal matters. If, in the judgment of the General
Manager/CEO, more than one hour of staffa significant amount of time will be required to complete the
requested task/project, the item may be agendized to solicit Board authorization to expend the
additional time necessary on the proposed item. Staff responses to Board member requests shall will be
provided to the General Manager/CEO and distributed to all Board members.
Interactions with Staff
District staff serves the entire Board of Directors as a whole. Consequently, the Board should adhere to
the following guidelines in its interaction with the staff:
1. A Board member shall not direct staff to initiate any action, change a course of action, or
prepare any report without the approval of the General Manager/CEO and, if necessary, a
majority of the Board.
2. Board members shall not attempt to pressure or influence discussions, recommendations,
workloads, schedules, or priorities.
3. When preparing for Board meetings, Board members should direct questions ahead of time
to the General Manager/CEO so that staff can provide the desired information at the Board
meeting.
4. Any concerns by a member of the Board regarding the behavior or work of a District
employee should be directed to the General Manager/CEO privately to ensure that the
concern is addressed. Board members shall not reprimand employees directly nor should
they communicate their concerns to anyone other than the General Manager/CEO.

third parties unless invited by the General Manager/CEO or directed by the Board to do so.
11. Board members shall disclose to the appropriate authorities and/or to the Board any behavior
or activity that may qualify as corruption, abuse, fraud, bribery or other violation of the law.

Adopted October 8, 2014
12. Board members, by virtue of their public office, shall not take advantage of services or
opportunities for personal gain that are not available to the public in general. They shall not
accept gifts, favors or promises of future benefits that might compromise their independence of
judgment or action or give the appearance of being compromised. Likewise, Board members
shall not appear on behalf of, or advocate for, the private interests of a third‐party before the
Board.
Conflict of Interest
In order to assure their independence and impartiality on behalf of the public good, state law prohibits
Board members from using their official positions to influence government decisions in which they have
a financial interest or where they have an organizational responsibility or a personal relationship that
would present a conflict of interest under applicable State law. In accordance with applicable State laws,
the following provisions shall apply to all Board member actions:
1. A Board member will not have a financial interest in a contract with the District, or be a
purchaser at a sale by the District or a vendor at a purchase made by the District, unless the
Board member’s participation was authorized under Government Code sections 1091 or 1091.5,
or other provisions of law.
2. A Board member will not participate in the discussion, deliberation or vote on a matter before
the Board of Directors, or in any way attempt to use his or her official position to influence a
decision of the Board, if he or she has a prohibited interest with respect to the matter, as
defined in the Political Reform Act, Government Code sections 81000, and following, relating to
conflicts of interest. Generally, a Board member has a financial interest in a matter if it is
reasonably foreseeable that the Board decision would have a material financial effect (as
defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission’s (“FPPC”) regulations) that is distinguishable
from the effect on the public generally on:
a. A business entity in which the Board member has a direct or indirect investment in the
amount specified in the then‐effective FPPC regulations;
b. Real property in which the Board member has a direct or indirect investment interest,
with a worth in the amount specified in the then‐effective FPPC regulations;
c. A source of income of the Board member in the amount specified in the then‐effective
FPPC regulations, within twelve months before the Board decision;
d. A source of gifts to the Board member in an amount specified in the then‐effective FPPC
regulations within twelve months before the Board decision;
e. A business entity in which the Board member holds a position as a director, trustee,
officer, partner, manager or employee;
f. The Board member’s personal expense, income, assets or liabilities, and those of his or
her immediate family, are likely to go up or down in a 12‐month period as a result if the
decision by the amount specified in the then‐effective FPPC regulations.
3. If a Board member believes that he or she may be disqualified from participation in the
discussion, deliberations or vote on a particular matter due to a conflict of interest, the
following procedure will be followed:
19
Adopted October 8, 2014
a. If the Board member becomes aware of the potential conflict of interest before the
Board meeting at which the matter will be discussed or acted on, the Board member will
notify the District’s General Manager/CEO and the District’s legal counsel of the
potential conflict of interest, so that a determination can be made whether it is a
disqualifying conflict of interest;
b. If it is not possible for the Board member to discuss the potential conflict with the
General Manager/CEO and the District’s legal counsel before the meeting, or if the
Board member does not become aware of the potential conflict until during the
meeting, the Board member will immediately disclose the potential conflict during the
Board meeting, so that there can be a determination whether it is a disqualifying conflict
of interest;
c. Upon a determination that there is a disqualifying conflict of interest, the Board
member: (1) will not participate in the discussion, deliberation or vote on the matter for
which a conflict of interest exists, which will be so noted in the Board minutes; and (2)
leave the room until after the discussion, vote and any other disposition of the matter is
concluded, unless the matter has been placed on the portion of the agenda reserved for
uncontested matters (i.e., the consent calendar), in which case the Board member will
identify the nature of the conflict and not vote on the specified item on the consent
calendar. If the item is agendized for discussion and possible action, the Board member
may speak on his or her personal interests in the matter during the time that the
general public speaks on the issue but must leave the room during Board discussion and
action on that item.
4. A Board member will not recommend the employment of a relative by the District. A Board
member will not recommend the employment of a relative to any person known by the Board
member to be bidding for or negotiating a contract with the District.

assistance, and legal advice to the Board of Directors, General Manager/CEO and all District
departments and offices.

other confidential matters:
a. All written materials and verbal information provided to Board members on matters
that are confidential and/or privileged under State law shall be kept in complete

BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 3 ADOPTED XX, 2020
CHAPTER 1
ROLE AND AUTHORITY
Role of the Board
The primary role of the Board is to establish policies that guide the District to meet its mission.
The policy decisions and actions of the Board constitute the "action" of the Board of Directors.
The Board has three (3) major responsibilities:
1. Promote the best interests of the District's customers by establishing policies that support
the vision and mission of the District and by ensuring the implementation of those
policies. Policies include the governing principles, plans, and course of action for the
organization. Policy-making is the process of visionary planning and should reflect the
broadest possible principles and provide parameters within which staff can operate.
Policy-making sets the overall direction for the District.
2. The Board shall establish policies that ensure fiscal stability and the effective use of
funds. In order to achieve this, each fiscal year the Board adopts a budget covering the
anticipated revenues and expenditures of the District and reviews monthly and quarterly
budget reports throughout the year. Additionally, from time to time, the Board reviews
and/or adopts amendments to the District's cash reserve, investment, and other policies
as necessary.
3. Hire a General Manager and CEO to manage the day-to-day operations of the District.
The Board holds the General Manager/CEO accountable for the effective operational
management of the District. An additional responsibility of the Board is to properly
evaluate the General Manager/CEO on an annual basis.
In order to fulfill these responsibilities, the Board shall adhere to the following basic policy
guidelines:
1. That the Board of Directors provides policy direction and leadership for the District.
2. That Board members recognize and respect the distinction between the policy setting
role and the day-to-day implementation of policy by staff.
3. That it is the responsibility of the Board (from a policy perspective) to ensure that the
District is a progressive, innovative, and well-managed agency.
4. That the Board exercises authority only collectively as a Board, and individual Board
members shall not act on their own volition.
5. That the Board understands and provides leadership in regional, state, and national
issues affecting the operations of the District.
6. That the Board respects the role of constituents in the governance of the District and
encourages their participation.
7. That key stakeholders should be consulted when and where appropriate.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 4 ADOPTED XX, 2020
8. That Board members represent the District in business related matters at meetings and
events other than regular meetings of the Board.
9. That the Board maintains a high level of communication with the General Manager/CEO.
When a Board member is going to be out of town or unavailable, the General
Manager/CEO or the District Clerk is notified in a timely manner.
10. That Board members are provided the same information, where practical, including staff
reports, committee agendas, customer inquiries, background information, etc.
11. That the Board is responsible for informing the General Manager/CEO of any specific
information they want to receive from outside agencies or organizations.
12. That the Board is aware that all written and electronic documentation and communication
is legally considered in the public domain. This excludes information protected by
attorney-client privilege.
Authority
The East Valley Water District is a California Special District, an independent government agency
which provides water delivery service to the customers within its boundaries. The District
operates under authority of Division 12 of the California Water Code for County Water District.
The District is governed by an elected Board of Directors who have authority to manage and
conduct the business and affairs of the District, including the authority to fix terms and conditions
of employment (including compensation) of District employees. The Board is authorized to
delegate those powers. The Board has retained authority to employ and set terms and conditions
for employment of the General Manager and CEO of the District, but the General Manager/CEO
has management authority over subordinate employees.
In order for a Board of Directors to function in an effective manner, it is important that each
member understand his/her respective role and the relationship they have to other members of
the Board and to the General Manager/CEO. This also requires an understanding of the level of
performance required to carry out the duties of a Board Member. The officers of the Board of
Directors include the Chairman and Vice-Chairman. The Secretary to the Board of Directors is
defined within the State Water Code as the General Manager/CEO of the District. Officers of the
District are selected every two years corresponding with the general election for the Board or as
otherwise determined by the Board of Directors.

BOARD MEMBER INTERACTION
When the members of the East Valley Water District Board are elected to office, there is an
expectation that they will bring a body of personal experience, knowledge and judgment to the

BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 8 ADOPTED XX, 2020
CHAPTER 4
STAFF INTERACTION
The efficient and effective delivery of services to the customers of the East Valley Water District
is a collaborative effort between the elected members of the Board of Directors and those
individuals employed to execute the District’s day-to-day operations. The Board’s relationship
and interaction with its professional staff must be carefully cultivated and nurtured at all times.
The Board’s Relationship with the General Manager/CEO
One of the most vital relationships the District Board has is between itself and its General
Manager/CEO. The General Manager/CEO is the primary agent of the Board and is the one to
whom the Board delegates its authority to manage and administer the District's daily operations
in accordance with approved policies. This position is important because to be successful, the
District requires leadership and vision from its General Manager/CEO. In this capacity, the
General Manager/CEO has two roles: Chief Executive Officer and top advisor to the Board. As the
most visible employee, the General Manager/CEO truly represents the District to its many
constituencies.
Much of the District’s success will be dependent upon a positive relationship between the Board
and its General Manager/CEO. Paradoxically, the leadership nature of both parties means that
this relationship will likely create some inherent tensions; a strong Board and a strong General
Manager/CEO will not always agree on every issue. However, both must consciously focus on
maintaining a shared sense of purpose, open communication, honesty, trust and mutual support.
While the General Manager/CEO is hired to carry out Board policy directives, the Board also
looks to him/her for guidance and leadership.
One of the most important decisions a Board will make is the selection of a General
Manager/CEO in whom they have confidence. The Board must be able to support the decisions
of the General Manager/CEO and grant him/her the authority to manage and lead the District.
This is critical for building the General Manager/CEO’s credibility with the staff and the
community. Both parties should always publicly support each other.
It is the General Manager/CEO’s responsibility to ensure that the Board members have all the
information they need to make Board-level decisions and that all Board members are provided
the same information. Board members expect the General Manager/CEO to make a
recommendation on every issue before the Board, except those that are strictly reserved to the
Board.
The following are guidelines are intended to help define the relationship between the Board and
the General Manager/CEO:
1. The General Manager/CEO prepares annual goals which are approved by the Board of
Directors as a part of a formal performance review process.
2. The Board of Directors will provide the General Manager/CEO with a written evaluation
annually.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 9 ADOPTED XX, 2020
3. Board members are encouraged to contact the General Manger/CEO about any subject
related to the operations of the District. Similarly, the General Manger/CEO may discuss
any District related issue with any member of the Board of Directors.
4. Concerns regarding overall District operations or specific department issues or
department heads are addressed with the General Manager/CEO.
5. Critical information will be provided to all members of the Board by the General
Manager/CEO, which feedback may be verbal, written, or electronic in nature.
6. The General Manager/CEO handles interdepartmental issues.
7. The General Manager/CEO shall advise the Board of Directors when he/she is out of the
office for an extended period of time and shall designate the individual who shall be
acting General Manager/CEO during that time.
Request for Staff Resources
Individual Board member requests for research by staff must be directed to the General
Manager/CEO, or the District’s legal counsel regarding legal matters. If, in the judgment of the
General Manager/CEO, a significant amount of time will be required to complete the requested
task/project, the item may be agendized to solicit Board authorization to expend the additional
time necessary on the proposed item. Staff responses to Board member requests will be
provided to the General Manager/CEO and distributed to all Board members.
Interactions with Staff
District staff serves the entire Board of Directors as a whole. Consequently, the Board should
adhere to the following guidelines in its interaction with the staff:
1. A Board member shall not direct staff to initiate any action, change a course of action, or
prepare any report without the approval of the General Manager/CEO and, if necessary, a
majority of the Board.
2. Board members shall not attempt to pressure or influence discussions, recommendations,
workloads, schedules, or priorities.
3. When preparing for Board meetings, Board members should direct questions ahead of
time to the General Manager/CEO so that staff can provide the desired information at the
Board meeting.
4. Any concerns by a member of the Board regarding the behavior or work of a District
employee should be directed to the General Manager/CEO privately to ensure that the
concern is addressed. Board members shall not reprimand employees directly nor should
they communicate their concerns to anyone other than the General Manager/CEO.
5. Soliciting political support from staff (e.g., financial contributions, display of posters or
lawn signs, name on support list, etc.) is prohibited. District staff may, as private citizens
with constitutional rights, support political candidates, but all such activities must be done
away from the workplace and may not be conducted while on the job.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 13 ADOPTED XX, 2020
CHAPTER 6
PUBLIC INTERACTION
As a public body, it is important for the East Valley Water District Board of Directors to establish a
working environment that encourages public participation and trust. During their time as elected
officials, Board members will have a wide range of interactions with the public including written
communication (i.e., letters, email, etc.), social media, phone calls, face-to-face, social functions,
regular and special Board meetings, etc. The following guidelines represent Board member “best
practices” for interacting with the public.
Customer Concerns and Complaints
1. All customer concerns and inquiries shall be referred to the General Manager/CEO.
2. The General Manager/CEO or his designee will provide the Board with a written or verbal
report of customer concern or inquiry that cannot be handled as a routine manner. The
Board will also be provided with a response to the concern or inquiry.
3. The Board will be informed of significant, politically sensitive, urgent and/ or repetitive
telephone or electronic communication inquiries. Staff will research the request as soon
as possible and provide the General Manager/CEO with the appropriate follow-up and
response. The General Manager/CEO will review the communication prior to
dissemination to the Board.
4. Copies of any written or electronic responses to customer concerns provided by a
member of the Board shall be provided to the other members of the Board of Directors as
well.
5. Information that may expose the District to liability will be shared with the Board at a
noticed, closed session meeting of the Board of Directors.
Public Input on the Agenda
1. Prior to public input on an agenda item, the Board will consider reports, questions from
the Board, and a response.
2. Agenda items noticed on the agenda for public hearing will follow procedures as outlined
by the District's legal counsel.
3. The Chair of the Board may elect to defer action on an item brought forward by the public
until such time as staff can prepare an appropriate response.
4. The Chair is responsible for maintaining an orderly progression of the business before the
Board, and to the extent possible regulates the amount and type of input from the public
and from members of the Board and staff.
5. Generally, Board members will not respond to public comments except for the Chair
referring matters to the General Manager/CEO for follow-up. Board members may,
through the Chair, ask clarifying questions to ensure that staff provides an appropriate
response. Occasionally, a prompt response may be offered by the Chair or the General
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 14 ADOPTED XX, 2020
Manager/CEO when an obvious answer or resolution is available. The Board will not enter
into a debate or make decisions in response to public comments that are not on the
agenda for consideration.
6. Questions by a Board member to staff or consultants making presentations shall be
directed to the Chair who will refer it to the General Manager/CEO for a response.
Representing an Official District Position
In order to ensure that they are properly representing their positions as elected officials of the
East Valley Water District, Board members should adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Board members may use their title only when conducting official District business, for
information purposes, or as an indication of background and expertise.
2. Once the Board of Directors has taken a position on an issue, all official District
correspondence regarding that issue will reflect the Board's adopted position.
3. In most instances, the Board will authorize the Chair of the Board to send letters stating
the District's official position to appropriate legislators.
4. No Board member shall attend a meeting of any outside agency or organization
(including Representative Assignments) as an official representative of the District without
prior authorization from the Chairman. Meetings of outside agencies and organizations
that are included on the District’s list of Representative Assignments are to be attended
by the designated Board member and/or alternate. If the designated Board member
and/or alternate cannot attend an assigned meeting, a duly appointed substitute may
attend on their behalf.
5. If a member of the Board appears before the meeting of another governmental agency
organization to give a statement on an issue affecting the District (including
Representative Assignments), the Board member shall indicate the majority position and
opinion of the Board. (NOTE: Board members shall report on any actions taken at the next
Board meeting).
6. Personal opinions and comments that may be contrary to adopted policy may be
expressed only if the Board member clarifies that these statements do not reflect the
official position of the Board or the District.
7. Board members should exercise caution when utilizing the news media, social media or
other forms of communications to specifically express views which are in opposition to
adopted Board policy.
8. When two Board members are authorized/assigned by the Board to attend a meeting as
the District’s official representative, other Board members may not participate at the
meeting in order to avoid violations of the Ralph M. Brown Act.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 15 ADOPTED XX, 2020
CHAPTER 7
DIRECTOR’S CODE OF CONDUCT
In order to promote the public’s trust in Board policies and to ensure the most effective and
efficient delivery of District services, members of the Board shall abide by the following Director’s
Code of Conduct:
1. Board members shall refrain from abusive conduct, personal charges, or verbal attacks
upon the character or motives of other members of the Board, committees, staff, or the
public.
2. Board members duties shall be performed in accordance with the processes and rules of
order established by the Board.
3. Communication between Board members, including electronic, verbal and written, shall
comply with all State-mandated open meeting law requirements (Brown Act).
4. Board members shall inform themselves on public issues, listen attentively to public
discussions before the body, and focus on the business at hand.
5. Board decisions shall be based upon the merits and substance of the matter at hand.
6. Board members shall represent the official policies and positions of the Board. When
presenting their personal opinions or positions publicly, members shall explicitly state
they do not represent the Board or the District.
7. Board members shall respect and preserve the confidentiality of information provided to
them concerning the confidential matters of the District. They must neither disclose
confidential information without proper legal authorization nor use such information to
advance or adversely affect the personal, financial, or private interests of themselves or
others.
8. It is the responsibility of Board members to publicly share substantive information that is
relevant to a matter under consideration that they have received from sources outside of
the public decision-making process with all other Board members and the public prior to
taking action on the matter.
9. Appropriate District staff should be involved when Board members meet with officials
from other agencies and jurisdictions to ensure proper staff support as needed and to
keep the General Manager/CEO informed.
10. Board members shall not attend internal staff meetings or meetings between District staff
and third parties unless invited by the General Manager/CEO or directed by the Board to
do so.
11. Board members shall disclose to the appropriate authorities and/or to the Board any
behavior or activity that may qualify as corruption, abuse, fraud, bribery or other violation
of the law.
12. Board members, by virtue of their public office, shall not take advantage of services or
opportunities for personal gain that are not available to the public in general.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 16 ADOPTED XX, 2020
They shall not accept gifts, favors or promises of future benefits that might compromise
their independence of judgment or action or give the appearance of being compromised.
Likewise, Board members shall not appear on behalf of, or advocate for, the private
interests of a third-party before the Board.
Conflict of Interest
In order to assure their independence and impartiality on behalf of the public good, state law
prohibits Board members from using their official positions to influence government decisions in
which they have a financial interest or where they have an organizational responsibility or a
personal relationship that would present a conflict of interest under applicable State law. In
accordance with applicable State laws, the following provisions shall apply to all Board member
actions:
1. A Board member will not have a financial interest in a contract with the District, or be a
purchaser at a sale by the District or a vendor at a purchase made by the District, unless
the Board member’s participation was authorized under Government Code sections 1091
or 1091.5, or other provisions of law.
2. A Board member will not participate in the discussion, deliberation or vote on a matter
before the Board of Directors, or in any way attempt to use his or her official position to
influence a decision of the Board, if he or she has a prohibited interest with respect to the
matter, as defined in the Political Reform Act, Government Code sections 81000, and
following, relating to conflicts of interest. Generally, a Board member has a financial
interest in a matter if it is reasonably foreseeable that the Board decision would have a
material financial effect (as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission’s (“FPPC”)
regulations) that is distinguishable from the effect on the public generally on:
a. A business entity in which the Board member has a direct or indirect investment in
the amount specified in the then-effective FPPC regulations;
b. Real property in which the Board member has a direct or indirect investment
interest, with a worth in the amount specified in the then-effective FPPC
regulations;
c. A source of income of the Board member in the amount specified in the then-
effective FPPC regulations, within twelve months before the Board decision;
d. A source of gifts to the Board member in an amount specified in the then-effective
FPPC regulations within twelve months before the Board decision;
e. A business entity in which the Board member holds a position as a director,
trustee, officer, partner, manager or employee;
f. The Board member’s personal expense, income, assets or liabilities, and those of
his or her immediate family, are likely to go up or down in a 12-month period as a
result if the decision by the amount specified in the then-effective FPPC
regulations.
3. If a Board member believes that he or she may be disqualified from participation in the
discussion, deliberations or vote on a particular matter due to a conflict of interest, the
following procedure will be followed:
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 17 ADOPTED XX, 2020
a. If the Board member becomes aware of the potential conflict of interest before the
Board meeting at which the matter will be discussed or acted on, the Board
member will notify the District’s General Manager/CEO and the District’s legal
counsel of the potential conflict of interest, so that a determination can be made
whether it is a disqualifying conflict of interest;
b. If it is not possible for the Board member to discuss the potential conflict with the
General Manager/CEO and the District’s legal counsel before the meeting, or if the
Board member does not become aware of the potential conflict until during the
meeting, the Board member will immediately disclose the potential conflict during
the Board meeting, so that there can be a determination whether it is a
disqualifying conflict of interest;
c. Upon a determination that there is a disqualifying conflict of interest, the Board
member: (1) will not participate in the discussion, deliberation or vote on the matter
for which a conflict of interest exists, which will be so noted in the Board minutes;
and (2) leave the room until after the discussion, vote and any other disposition of
the matter is concluded, unless the matter has been placed on the portion of the
agenda reserved for uncontested matters (i.e., the consent calendar), in which
case the Board member will identify the nature of the conflict and not vote on the
specified item on the consent calendar. If the item is agendized for discussion and
possible action, the Board member may speak on his or her personal interests in
the matter during the time that the general public speaks on the issue but must
leave the room during Board discussion and action on that item.
4. A Board member will not recommend the employment of a relative by the District. A
Board member will not recommend the employment of a relative to any person known by
the Board member to be bidding for or negotiating a contract with the District.
Handling of Legal Matters
The Board appoints the District’s legal counsel to provide a wide range of professional legal
services, assistance, and legal advice to the Board of Directors, General Manager/CEO and all
District departments and offices.
1. The following guidelines shall be employed by Board members when dealing with legal
and/or other confidential matters:
a. All written materials and verbal information provided to Board members on
matters that are confidential and/or privileged under State law shall be kept in
complete confidence to ensure that the District's position is not compromised. No
disclosure or mention of any information in these materials may be made to
anyone other than Board members, the General Manager/CEO or the District’s
legal counsel.
b. Confidential materials provided in preparation for and during Closed Sessions
shall not be retained and electronic copies must be deleted or documents
returned to staff at the conclusion of the Closed Session.
c. Confidential materials provided to Board members outside of Closed Sessions
must be destroyed, deleted, or returned to staff within thirty (30) days of their
receipt.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 18 ADOPTED XX, 2020
d. Board members may not request confidential written information from staff that
has not been provided to all Board members.
2. All Board members who are desirous of contact with the District’s legal counsel, his or her
staff, and/or attorney(s) contracted to work on behalf of the District shall obtain prior
approval from the General Manager/CEO. Board members cannot enjoy or establish an
attorney-client relationship with said attorney(s) by consulting with or speaking to same.
Any attorney-client relationship established belongs to the District, acting through the
Board of Directors, and as may be allowed in State law for purposes of defending the
District and/or the Board in the course of litigation and/or administrative procedures, etc.

reimbursed for their expenses to take two hours of training in ethics principles and laws every
two years. Those who enter office after January 1, 2006 must receive the training within a year of

The training must cover general ethics principles relating to public service and ethic laws
including:
1. Laws relating to personal financial gain by public officials (including bribery and conflict of
interest laws);
2. Laws relating to office-holder perks, including gifts and travel restrictions, personal and
political use of public resources, and prohibitions against gifts of public funds;
3. Governmental transparency laws, including financial disclosure requirements and open
government laws (the Brown Act and Public Records Act);
4. Laws relating to fair processes, including fair contracting requirements, common law bias
requirements, and due process.
Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
AB 1661 requires elected or appointed officials who are compensated for their service or
reimbursed for their expenses to receive at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention
training and education within the first six months of taking office or commencing employment,
and every two years thereafter.
The training must include information and practical guidance regarding the federal and state
statutory provisions concerning the prohibition against, and the prevention and correction of,
sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment in employment.
Enforcement
Any actual or perceived violation of District policies, including the Code of Conduct, by a Board
member should be referred to the Chair of the Board or the full Board of Directors for
investigation, and consideration of any appropriate action warranted. A violation of this policy
may be addressed by the use of such remedies as are available by law to the District, including
but not limited to:
BOARD OF DIRECTORS HANDBOOK 19 ADOPTED XX, 2020
1. Reassignment of committee positions;
