Board Memorandum Date: July 22, 2003 From: Finance Committee. Subject: Investment portfolio diversification. Recommendation: Withdraw $4.5 million from LAIF and invest the funds in US Treasury or Agency debt instruments through Citizen's Business Bank. Background: Given the State's current fiscal / budget crises, members of the Board of Directors and management have expressed increasing concern over the safety of the District's investments with LAIF. At the July 8, 2003 Board meeting, representatives from Citizen's Business Bank .discussed alternative investment options after which the Board requested recommendations from staff regarding amounts to be diversified and types of investments. Staff requested that the Finance / Personnel committee be convened in order to discuss this question in detail. On July 11, 2003 the Finance committee met and reviewed the options proposed by Citizen's Business Bank, and also reviewed the most current yield and balance information regarding the District's LAIF investments. As a result of the meeting, the Finance Committee recommends that $4.5 million be withdrawn from LAIF and invested in US Treasury or Agency Bonds. Specifically, $4 million should be invested in T- Bills or Notes with 'laddered' maturity dates up to 18 months. Upon maturity of ar~y of these securities, the funds will be rolled into a new T-Bill of Note unless the money is needed for operations. The remaining $.5 million will be invested in a highly liquid US Treasury mutual fund or Money Market Account. Fiscal Impact: Short term investment yields on the $4.5 million will be reduced by approximately $9,000 per quarter (45%decrease) RESOLUTION NO. 2003.36 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE EAST VALLEY WATER DISTRICT AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS RELATING TO ~ ARROYO VERDE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the East Valley Water District ("EVWD") finds: A.

Most were liened and the liens have now expired leaving the District with no recourse for their collection.

Background: Each fiscal year the District accumulates a list of closing bills with balances of less than $10 and for which initial attempts to collect them were unsuccessful. As the bills are closing bi[is and the District has no recourse against property, there is little chance that the balances will ever be collected. Attached is a list that contains 64 closed accounts. 61 have balances of less that $12, and 3 are accounts on which liens were attempted but the lien was either late or was discharged in bankruptcy. Staff requests that the Board authorize the write-off of these closed customer accounts. Fiscal Impact: Decrease unrestricted net assets by $539. ___ooooo~o~_________ , , ~ ~? ....

Box 3427 "~. - ~-~ ~, ' ~" ~ San B ernardino, CA 92413 ' Dear Commissioners: We are writing to express our concerns about the plans of the San Manuel Band of Indians to expand their casino in our residential neighborhood. We are residents of San Bernardino and have lived in our home since 1990.. Our home is located one-half block from the site that has been announced by the tribe as where their multi- storied parking garage will be constructed. Our larger neighborhood includes homes in San Bemardino County as welt as the City of San Bernardino. We are now surrounded on three sides by the expanding casino operations. This neighborhood is made of largely of attractive and well-maintained housing that is reasonably affiardable for middle income persons. In the 13 years we have lived here we have experienced a gradual erosion Of the quality of our neighborhood. Traffic, litter, graffiti, crime, and noise have all increased. ,~dready existing lights from the casino and parking lots illuminate our backyards all night long. There are signs of homes located immediately adjacent to the casino showing neglect as needed maintenance is deferred. All of this process of deterioration is in direct parallel to the expa,nsion of the casino to this point. The greater San Bernardino City---county as well as city--has a shortage of precisely the kind of mid-cost housing that constitutes this neighborhood. There is some very fine high enst housing in San Bernardino, but we are most known for our abundance of low cost, sub-standard housing. We think that the effects of the casino expansion should be a concern for all of San Bernardino. Not only is the unregulated expansion negatively impacting on our own quality of life, but it surely is not in the interests of the larger community for one of its dimirdshing mid-cost neighborhoods to be allowed to deteriorate. We have no ax to grind with our San Manuel Band of Indian neighbors over their right to conduct their business and to benefit from its success. And we are aware of the ne~l for San Bernardino to encourage profitable commerce, providing jobs and a flow of income into the region. But surely, with vision and imagination, political leadership ia negotiation with the San Manuel Band of Indians could develop alternative strategies to the present one--plans to relocate the casino where it would be less hemmed in and more successful in the long run, and in which the vitality of this middle class neighborhood would not be placed in greater jeopardy. There is, unfortunately, also a growing sense of miscommunication and even betrayal over past promises made---such as in 1994 when the acreage at the end ofonr block was federalized, ostensibly for recreation and health services and museum. That is now declared to be the site ora proposed six-story parking garage with construction to be immiment. We strongly urge you not to lease to the San Manuel Band of Indians property owned by the EVWD. Providing them with temporary parking spaces will only encourage them in their plans to construct a parking garage before all needed negotiations have taken place. Sincerely, ~ Kendall C.
