Re: 2007-2008 Budget
Attached for your review is the draft 2007/2008 Budget for East Valley Water District.
This Budge4 has been modified several times since the Board first reviewed it on May
30th. In addition to the full Board's review, an Ad-Hoc Committee met to further
discuss the various spending priorities and required rate increases. Based upon the
Board's comments and concerns, a number of substantive changes have been made
to this Budget. These changes and associated impacts upon required rate
adjustments are summarized as follows:
1) State Representation - Included a line item of $50,000 for a State Lobbyist.
2) Bunker Hill Regional Supply Planning - Increased funding for the study from
$15,000 to $50,000.
3) Charge Card Payment Processing Software - Included funding for this
program at $50,000.
4) Purchase Sewer Video Inspection Equipment instead of contracting for these
services. This change resulted in a$420,000 decrease to the capital budget.
Implementing this plan will, however require an additional sewer crewmember.
As such, the labor budget for sewer operators increased by approximately
$60,000.
5) Extend the design of Piants 150 & 152 into the next fiscal year (2008/2009).
These are the two new treatment plants which are being mandated by the
pending State of California Perchlorate Rule. In addition to design costs, i
have also extended the construction time frame for the Phase 2 Perchlorate
Pipeline Project. These two changes have resulted in a cost savings of
$1,100,000 for the 2007/2008 Budget.
0
6) included a Sewer System Management Planning Study at a cost of $100,000.
This will continue our compliance efforts for the new State mandated sewer
overflow regulations.
7) Decreased our contribution from reserves by $250,000.
All of these changes have resulted in a net decrease in spending of approximately
$1,170,000. This has allowed for a reduction in the proposed rate increase for both
our water and sewer operations. Based upon these revisions, I am proposing a 10%
increase to our meter charge, a 9% increase to our consumption charge ($0.10/hcfl
and a 12% increase to our monthly sewer charge for residential customers
($2.75/month). As you are aware, any adjustment to the Districts rates must be done
in accordance with the requirements of Proposition 218.
if this approach is acceptable to the Board, I would request your adoption of the
Budget and authorization to begin the Proposition 218 notifications for the purpose of
conducting a rate hearing.

statements are fairly presented, in all materiai respects, in conformity with U.S. generaliy
accepted accounting principles and to report on the fairness of the additional information
referred to in the first paragraph when considered in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. Our audit will be conducted in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
auditing standards and The State Controller's Minimum Audit Requirements for California
Special Districts, and will inciude tests of the accounting records and other procedures we
consider necessary to enable us to express such opinions. If our opinions on the financial
statements are other than unqualified, we will fully discuss the reasons with you in advance. If,
for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed
opinions, we may deciine to express opinions or to issue a report as a result of this
engagement.
Management Responsibilities
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls, including
monitoring ongoing activities; for the selection and application of accounting principles; and for
the fair presentation in the financial statements of the financiai position of the East Valley Water
District and the change in financial position and cash fiows, in conformity with U.S. generaily
accepted accounting principles. Management is responsibie for the basic financial statements
and ali accompanying information as well as all representations contained therein. You are also
responsible for management decisions and functions; for designating an individual with suitable
skiil, knowiedge, or experience to oversee our financial statement preparation services and any
other nonattest services we provide; and for evaluating the adequacy and results of those
services and accepting responsibility for them.
Management is responsible for making all financial records and related information available to

You are responsible for the design and impiementation of programs and controls to prevent and
detect fraud, and for informing us about all known or suspected fraud or illegal acts affecting the

Board of Directors June 20, 2007

,4udit Procedures-General
An audit inciudes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disciosures
in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgment about the number of
4ransactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. We will ptan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether from (1) errors, (2) fraudulent financiat reporting, (3)
misappropriation of assets, or (4) violations of laws or governmental regulations that are
attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees acting on behalf of the entity.
Because an audit is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance and because
we will no4 perform a detailed examination of ail transactions, there is a risk that material
misstatements may exist and not be detected by us. In addition, an audit is not designed to
detect immaterial misstatements, or violations of laws or governmental regulations that do not
have a direct and material effect on the financiai statements. However, we will inform you of any
material errors and any fraudulent financial reporting or misappropriation of assets that come to
our attention. We will also inform you of any violations of laws or governmental regulations that
come to our attention, unless clearly inconsequential. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to
the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any later period for which we are not
engaged as auditors.
Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded
in the accounts, and may include tests of the physical existence of inventories, and direct
confirmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by correspondence with
selected individuals, creditors, and financial institutions. We wiii request written representations
from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this
inquiry. At the conciusion of our audit, we will aiso require certain written representations from
you about the financial statements and related matters.
Audit Procedures-Internal Control
Our audit will include obtaining an understanding of the entity and its environment, including
internal control, su~cient to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures. An audit is
not designed fo provide assurance on internal control or to identify deficiencies in internal
control. However, during the audit, we will communicate to management and those charged
with governance internai control related matters that are required to be communicated under
professional standards.
Board of Directors June 20, 2007
East Valley Water District Page 4
Audits Procedures-Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, we wili perform tests of East Valiey Water District's compliance with
applicabie laws and regulations and the provisions of contracts and agreements. However, the
objective of our audit will not be to provide an opinion on overall compliance and we will not
express such an opinion.
Audit Administration, Fees, and Other
We may from time to time, and depending on the circumstances, use third-party service
providers in serving your account. We may share confidentiai information about you with these
senrice providers, but remain committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of your
information. Accordingly, we maintain internai policies, procedures, and safeguards to protect
the confidentiality of your personal information. In addition, we will secure confidentiality
agreements with all service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your information and we
will take reasonable precautions to determine that they have appropriate procedures in place to
prevent the unauthorized release of your confidential information to others. In the event that we
are unable to secure an appropriate confidentiality agreement, you will be asked to provide your
consent prior to the sharing of your confidential information with the third-party service provider.
Furthermore, we will remain responsible for the work provided by and such third-party service
providers.
We understand that your empioyees wiii prepare all cash or other confirmations we request and
will locate any documents selected by us for testing.
We expect to begin our audit on approximately August 20, 2007, and to issue our reports no
later than October 12, 2007. Our fee for these services will be at our standard houriy rates plus
out-of-pocket costs (such as report reproduction, word processing, postage, travel, copies,
telephone, etc.) except that we agree that our gross fee, including expenses will not exceed
$28,000. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and
the experience level of the personnel assigned to your audit. Our invoices for these fees wili be
rendered each month as work progresses and are payable on presentation. In accordance with
our firm policies, work may be suspended if your account becomes 90 days or more overdue
and may not be resumed until your account is paid in full. If we elect to terminate our services
for nonpayment, our engagement will be deemed to have been completed upon written
notification of termination, even if we have not compieted your report. You will be obligated to
compensate us for ali time expended and to reimburse us for all out-of-pocket costs through the
date of termination. The above fee is based on anticipated cooperation from your personnel and
the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the audit. If
significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee
estimate before we incur the additionai costs.

Secretary, U.S. Deparknent of flie Tnterior Governor, State of Califomia
1849 C 5treet, NW SYate Capitol Building
Washington, DC 20240 Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Secretary Kempthome and Govemor Schwarzenegger:
We are at a pivotal moment in Califomia water history - we are in the midst of one of
the driest wafer yeazs since the construcfion of the Cenh~al Valley Project and the Stale Water
Project, yet we have just experiettced the longest Delta pumps shut down for the protection of
fi~. .
The Delta is used to convey water to more than 25 xnillion residents in the San Francisco
Bay Axea and Southem California and millions who rely on fazming activities in the San Joaquin
Valley. Water shortages aze starting to be reported and we az•e merely three weeks away from a
compiete disaster if the Delta pumps are not returned to norn~al operating levels.
Clearly, this set of circumstances involving Delta smelt points to a larger problem which
statc and fedoral govexnmcnts havo failed to addross for yeazs. This includos scriously addressing
water quality, environxnental protection and restoration, and stable and adequate supplies of water
on which all users can rely. Politics and posturing will not solve this problem.
To prevent tLis impending economic disaster, and to provide short-termrelief, we
encourage you to immediately return to notmal pumping operations. WIule protecting the Delta
smelt is certainly an impartant conseroation objeclive, the reality is that take of smelt at the
~umps has little, if any, impact on the abundance of this species, and the minimal benefit to this
species resulting from the shutdown of the pumps does not warrant putting the economy of the
Sta f California at risk.

Dear Bob:
James Morales and I are still talking about the great tour you gave us of the Seven Oaks
Dam/Santa Ana River area. It was a very memorable experience touring the facilities and what
is involved in maintaining adequate water supplies, regulatory issues and the cost of providing
water to the community. After working on relevant legislation on the dam for the past few years
in my previous capaciry, it was nice to finally see the project personally.
I want to send you my sincere thanks for spending time and coordinating the day for our group,
your staff is to be commended for the excellent preparations as well. I personally found the tour
enlightening. I look forward to working with you and please do not hesitate to contact me if I
can be of any assistance.
Sincerely,
I,J~ ~
