Tompkins / Chief Financial Officer Subject: General Manager's Expenses. Recommendation: Approve the attached list of payments and reimbursements for General Manager expenses during the period August '12, 2009 through August 19 ,2009. Background: DATE: AUGUST 25, 2009 Business and Travel expenses incurred by the General Manager and paid during the reporting period stipulated above totaled $0.00. A summary of theses expenses by authorized payment methods follows: American Express — R Martin American Express — J Hendricksen— J Hendricksen CalCard R Martin CalCard -- J Hendricksen CalCard E Bateman Direct Reimbursement Total 0.00 Board Memorandum Date: August 25, 2009 From: Brian Tompkins / CFO Subject: Banking Services Recommandation: Information Only Background„ The purpose of this memo is to respond to Board inquiries about the services provided by our current primary banking institution, Citizen's Business Bank (CBB). Checking Accounts The District has four accounts at the local branch on Highland Avenue. First is the District's primary checking account. Second, is an account established by the District to facilitate employee deposits and reimbursements related to their flexible spending accounts. A separate account makes it easier to reconcile all of the employee transactions and required an initial deposit by the District of $5,000. The last two accounts act as fiscal agent accounts for debt service on the Department of Water Resources Construction Loan for the Arroyo Verde project. Assessments collected from Arroyo Verde property owners are placed in one account, and then when a loan payment is due, adequate funds are transferred to the second account to which the DWR has access so they can withdraw the funds. Two other accounts with CBB are in the name of District controlled companies — North Fork Water Company and City Creek Water Company. The North Fork account is, of course, still frequently used, while the City Creek account will be closed as soon as there is final distribution of assets and dissolution of the corporation. Investment Accounts The District has two investment accounts with CBB managed by employees of the CBB Wealth Management Division at their corporate offices in Rancho Cucamonga. The first account includes general unrestricted funds of the District, and the second holds unspent proceeds from the 2004 Construction Loan (Installment Purchase Agreement) signed with the Municipal Finance Corporation. Loan Debt Service Debt service on the 2004 and 2006 Installment Purchase Agreements (IPA) with Municipal Finance Corporation was assigned by the Corporation to Citizens Business Bank in the original debt documents. Therefore, semi - annual principal and interest on the 2004 and 2006 IPA's are paid to Citizen's Business Bank. X113110 Association of California Water Agencies Since 7970 7 August 12, 2009 Dear ACWA Member, It is our pleasure to enclose the premier issue of "Water for Tomorrow," a magazine published through an exciting new partnership between ACWA and National Geographic Custom Publishing. The magazine is designed to reach consumers in a new and engaging way with information to help them understand all aspects of the California water story, including where our water comes from, why many parts of the state are experiencing shortages and the role Californians can play in reducing their water use on a daily basis. First unveiled in May 2009 during the ACWA Spring Conference & Exhibition, the magazine is being distributed during June and July to participating ACWA member agencies and their customers, as well as policy makers and the media. It is also being sent to California subscribers of National Geographic. The next issue of "Water for Tomorrow" will feature stories on the Delta, water shortages and their impacts on agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley, and balancing the needs of the people and the environment. Additional issues will be published in fall 2009, spring 2010 and fall 2010. A new companion Web site, www.waterfortomorrowmag.com, is also available with content based on the magazine. ACWA is extremely proud of this new publication, and we are grateful to the ACWA members who have volunteered their time and talents as part of the Editorial Advisory Board that is guiding the content of the magazine. Response to the magazine has been tremendously positive. As you may recall, this project is one of the first undertaken by ACWA under the Strategic and Business Plan adopted earlier this year. The plan calls for ACWA to expand its efforts to educate Californians on the state's water challenges. Copies of the first issue of "Water for Tomorrow" are still available. ACWA members may also subscribe to future issues.

CHECKING IN t� A 2 Watertor TOmo"ov; Vaiume One, Number One Y y California and Water. The two will always be linked. Water is the critical element in the well -being of our people and our environment, the "liquid gold" that keeps our economy strong. But we've tended to take it for granted — perhaps because water has been reliably provided at a very economical cost. Ask where water comes from and most people are likely to reply, "the faucet." Lately you might have noticed things are changing. We now read in the news daily that water is a finite resource around the globe, and that having enough for everyone in any given year is far from guaranteed. Unless we change our ways and invest in our future, that trusted faucet could run dry, and soon. But what kinds of changes are we talking about? How should we Eve differently? And why does California, in particular, find itself with water shortages? We at Water for Tomorrow believe knowledge is power and that all of us can and will pitch in to use water more responsibly if we understand the problem. So we created this publication to help you understand where your water comes from, its value, and why shortages seem to be more common lately. We've also included some great tips for conservation to help you save water inside and outside your home. Water for Tomorrow is brought to you by a partnership through National Geographic custom publishing and the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA), whose members are responsible for 90 percent of the water delivered in the state. We care about water issues, and a recent statewide survey tells us that 61 percent of you ranked "having sufficient water supplies" near the top of your concerns, while 85 percent expressed a willingness to make significant changes in household mow' water use. In future issues we will continue to look at how California is working to protect our water supply today and for the future. This fall, we'll discuss the profound impact water shortages are having on our farmers. Plus, you can always visit us online at www.waterfortomorrowmag.com where we will continue to share with you smart ideas for conserving water at home, at work, around the yard. If we each do our part to learn about water and conserve where we can, we can make a difference for California. Will you join us? Sincerely, Wendy B.

Our state is justly famous for its spectacular natural beauty, abundant sunshine, fertile farmlands, and enterprising communities. These characteristics have combined to make California one of the most productive places on earth. The critical feature that allows this modern miracle to happen involves moving water from where the rain falls to where the water is needed in a reliable and sustainable way. Large parts of California are semi - desert year round, and almost everywhere our climate is hot and dry during the long summer when water is _ in highest demand::" Mmi i Mmi Without the development and innovative management of the state's limited water resources, the story of California's success would be very different, for water is truly vital to our economy. Figuring out ways to spread this already limited resource ever farther, to serve everyone adequately — including homeowners, farmers, businesses, industry, fisheries, and the environment — has always been difficult. And the challenges are growing yearly, as our population increases. If we don't continue to invest in the system and strive to conserve, it's pretty clear that the place we call home is headed for serious shortages. (For more on this see pages 12 and 13.) How have we managed so far? Through developing a system of dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, and pipelines that carry vast amounts of water from where it is collected to the places where its most needed. Where does your water come from? it depends. The water's journey could be short. But more likely than not, some of it has traveled many miles, and sometimes even hundreds. Starting Points To understand bow it all works, let's start with the water itself Some of the water we consume is groundwater. Groundwater is the accumulation of precipitation that is hidden in the rocks, sands and gravels below the surface. Wells are drilled and pumping stations built to raise the water to the surface. These underground reservoirs, also known as aquifers, are found only in select areas. They must be managed carefully so the amount of water pumped out does not exceed the amount recharged over time. (A strategy called water banking is used in some areas to recharge underground storage basins using water transported from areas with water surpluses.) Groundwater typically accounts for about 40 percent of statewide water use in average years. The percentage can be considerably greater in drought years when surface water is in short supply. Surface water refers to water in rivers and streams that originates as rain and snow. About two- thirds of the precipitation we receive evaporates into the air, soaks into the ground, or is absorbed by vegetation. The remainder runs down hillsides to lakes, ponds, rivers and streams that be within natural basins called watersheds. Some of the runoff flows into wild and scenic rivers or environmentally sensitive estuaries and eventually makes its way to the ocean. The rest is considered California's "usable" water supply, or what is actually collected and stored in the state's vast water storage and delivery system. In normal years as much as 75 percent of California's usable water falls as snow and rain in the northern third of the state between November and March, mostly on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Climate change is likely to add a new variability to this pattern, however. Another significant portion of the state's surface water comes from the Colorado River, which originates in the Rocky Mountains and traverses a number of other mountainous states to the east. As much as 80 percent of California's water demand is in the southern two- thirds of the state where very little surface water is found naturally. To remedy the existing inequities between supply and demand, federal, state and regional authorities have built perhaps the most complex water storage, water transport, and flood management system found anywhere. Major regional projects serve Los Angeles, San Francisco and the East Bay. Dozens of local projects serve people around the state. Three of the largest water projects in the state that serve multiple cities and agricultural areas include: The Central Valley Project (CVP) runs 450 miles through a vast oblong valley that begins with Lake Shasta in the north and extends to Bakersfield in the south. The CVP captures and conveys water from the state's largest river, the Sacramento. Farther south, the San Joaquin and several other WWW.Wa(P,d000lnorcovjmag.com California's Water, Our aeswmiOihty 5 smaller rivers contribute to the system. Work began on the CVP in the 1930s and was originally conceived as a relatively modest state project. When financing failed, the CVP was taken over by the federal Bureau of Reclamation. Construction grew to include 18 dams and reservoirs, 500 miles of canals and aqueducts, 11 hydroelectric power plants, and three fish hatcheries. Today the CVP delivers enough water to supply about one -third of the irrigated farmland in the state and close to a million households in the Central Valley and parts of the Bay Area. The Colorado River Aqueduct (CRA) diverts a share of the water coming into California from the Colorado River. A 1922 agreement among the seven states that form the river's drainage area paved the way for the construction of the Hoover Dam in 1936. Shortly after, construction began on a number of downstream storage and diversion structures, including the CRA, which was engineered, built and managed by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, a water - wholesaling agency that serves 26 member agencies in six counties from Ventura to San Diego. The CRA serves the water needs of Los Angeles and many other Southern California communities through a system of nine reservoirs, five pumping plants, 63 miles of canals, 92 miles of tunnels, and 84 miles of buried pipeline. Under the terms of compacts and treaties forged among 6 Wetertortomarovc volumeone - KxWone seven Western states, several sovereign Native American tribes and Mexico, California is entitled to 4.4 million acre -feet of the Colorado's water in normal years, though supplies have tightened in recent years as other states have begun to take their full allotment. In addition to the CRA, another major network called the All- American Canal System serves several irrigation districts in the Imperial Valley and elsewhere in southeastern California. The State Water Project (SWP) was designed to deliver public water supplies from areas in the north, where water is plentiful, to areas of need in the Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California. Citizens voted to approve the water system in 1960 and construction began in 1961 on SWP facilities including the Oroville Dam that spans the Feather River. By the mid 1960s, the first water deliveries were reaching the San Francisco Bay Area and what would later become Silicon Valley. In 1972 the SWP reached its southern limits: two canals veer east and west on the far side of the Tehachapi Mountains near Bakersfield. The Coastal Branch Aqueduct, a 116 -mile long offshoot to Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, opened in 1997. Today the SWP boasts 32 storage facilities, reservoirs and lakes, 17 pumping plants, three pumping - generating plants, five hydroelectric power plants and about 660 miles of open canals and pipelines. Along the way water is supplied via 29 public water agency contractors to 23 million Californians and 775,000 acres of irrigated farmland. About 70 percent of SWP water is delivered to urban users and 30 percent to agricultural users. The pumps for both the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project are located in the southern portion of the Sacramento -San Joaquin Delta. California's largest estuary, the Delta is where the rivers of the western Sierra converge before heading toward San Francisco Bay. While these projects are considered engineering marvels and have provided the foundation for California's. economic success, they were not built to meet all the demands being placed on them today. Nor were they built with the Delta's current environmental issues in mind — problems caused by a variety of factors including water diversions, invasive species and the loss of habitat. Due to the Delta crisis, the SWP and CVP are being challenged to provide for people and the environment even though the system wasn't built to do both. State, federal and local agencies are working to develop long -term solutions to achieve that goal. Next time you pour that glass of water, take a shower, or do a laundry load, think about all the natural and manmade contributions that go into delivering this precious resource. What steps can you take to assure that it will always be there? How can you and your neighbors use water more wisely? Right now, learning how to conserve must become our daily business.

In most communities it's still less than a penny per gallon at the tap. But if you stop to think about the time, technology, and money it takes to gather, treat, convey and distribute residential water, it's a bargain at any price. So what exactly determines the cost of your water? First, there are capital costs associated with building and maintaining the vast and complex water distribution system that brings water from its source to where you live. As you read in "Where Does Your Water Come From" on page 4, the water that reaches many California consumers often travels hundreds of miles and passes through dozens of reservoirs, 8 Waterfor TOmwmr, Volume One• Number One storage facilities, power plants, aqueducts, canals, pipelines, and tunnels. These faciities were built and paid for by construction loans and other forms of financing that the users — you and the contracting agency that buys your water wholesale —must pay back over time. Even the parts of the state's vast water delivery system that were built many decades ago require ongoing funding. Aging parts must be upgraded, conduits extended to meet new needs, and advanced technologies introduced as they come along. And with these improvements, the ultimate costs must be passed along to the consumers. In some districts that he far from the point of water origin, capital expenses and debt service can represent as much as 70 percent of the monthly water bill. Operating expenses account for the other, generally smaller share of the bill. These cost; include the day -to -day bulk purchase of water from a water supplier. They also go toward the salaries of the highly trained personnel, such as plant technicians, water engineers and managers required to maintain all the equipment and facilities. Substantial (j , <'.: aenergy costs make up another portion — 'wlte; many of our water systems generate hydroelectric power as a byproduct of storing and releasing large volumes of surface water, the power generated provides only about a third of the total energy needed to keep the system functioning. The rest must be paid for as a share of your water bill. Consider, for example, what it takes to move water conveyed through the Delta by the California Aqueduct up and over the'Rhachapi Mountains to customers in Southern California. Fourteen pumps 1%.600 it the Edmonston Pumping Plant on the northern edge; of the mountains ]if the entire aqueduct flow —as much as 33,000 gallons per second --nearly 2,000 feet high to get it to the other side. That feat takes a lot of electricity. Meeting Regulations Another big -ticket item is the cost of water treatment. A lot of effort goes into protecting water sources so that treatment is minimal, but in some areas costs are still substantial. Residential water has high safety and quality standards in California. Various treatment processes eliminate undesirable organisms and chemicals. Water is also treated for hardness, acidity, taste, odor and something called turbidity, which is how clear water looks in the glass. Water that is used strictly for irrigation and other agricultural purposes is generally purchased at considerably cheaper rates. a,jW,jv This is mostly due to the fact that fewer treatment processes are involved. Lastly, your water bill may reflect a share of the costs involved in managing environmental concerns, including the cost of alternative supplies your water district may need to purchase as a result of rules in place to protect species. Metering Usage Aids Conservation Whether your water bill is calculated based on a flat rate or a metered rate also plays a part in pricing. Flat rate payers pay a preset rate, often based on the size of house and lot. Metered rate payers are billed according to the number of units, called CCFs (1 CCF = 748 gallons), flowing into the house through the meter on their service pipe. On site readings are taken periodically by the utility's meter reader or, in more modern versions, are sent via radiofrequency to a computer. Meters in most urban and suburban communities are located in a box set near the sidewalk or street. Legislation passed in 2004 calls for all retraining flat rate users to become metered with deliberate speed. Metered water usage has proved to be a boon to conservation. Meters are excellent tools by which users can maintain greater individual control over water habits and keep water bills down. Many water agencies have or are adopting a tiered rate system that provides additional incentive to conserve. Customers pay a single lower rate for the first tier unit of water used (a figure based on estimated basic needs) and progressively higher rates for the second and third tier. As water shortages continue to be an issue for California, expect to hear more about this approach. Making Sense of Your Water Bili Your water bill contains valuable information that can help you keep track of your consumption. The data presented in the bill reflects the amount of water that has flowed through either a straight- reading or round - reading meter outside your home. Adopt new water - saving practices and then monitor the numbers on subsequent bills to see how you have managed water use. Two types of water meters are described below. SRM 9 , a On the SRMs some of ' s a the calculation is already ' °• "° "'; oeiv � done and appears in a window marked "cubic feet." Subtract the first four digits of the previous reading from the current reading to get the total cubic feet of water recorded during the time lapse. Charges are based on "units" used, each unit being 100 cubic feet (CCF). If you prefer to convert CCFs to gallons, multiply CCFs used by 748. (Many agencies use 1,000 - gallon units, rather than 100.) flii• To read the many - dialed :fit s RRM, focus on the three dials at the top, starting with the 100,000 dial and read clockwise. If the hand on any dial is between two numbers, use the lower number in your calculations. Subtract your last reading from the current reading to get CCF usage, applying the same method described above to convert to gallons. To check for leaks in your system turn off all faucets and do not flush toilets for 15 minutes. If the sweep hand on the SRM or the "one foot" dial on the RRM continues to move, you probably have a leak somewhere that needs fixing.

A x, t Tkx` After three years of below- average rain and snowfall in Worthern California; and with environmental problems triggering very significant cuts in water deliveries to some areas, water is in short supply in many regions of the state. There is an immediate need to conserve water. But if California is to successfully manage the needs of its growing population, support agriculture, and nurture the environment, then long -term sustainability plans must be put in place. Governor Schwarzenegger declared a statewide drought emergency in late February. "This is a crisis, just as severe as an earthquake or raging wildfire," he said. He went on to predict that the combination of natural and man -made conditions that have brought on this crisis could be with us a lot longer than any drought we've ever known before. ~ He called on everyone to join in a massive effort to conserve precious water now and in the future. #� Water shortages are not, of course, a new idea in California. Shortages are a common feature of our cyclical weather patterns in which several years of relatively wet conditions are followed by longer, deeper cycles of dry. But occasionally mere shortages grow into sustained droughts, which are marked by tinder -dry hillsides, raging wildfires, nearly empty reservoirs, and hasty efforts to transfer remaining water supplies where most needed. Many of us remember in particular the devastating dry spell that settled in from 1987 to 1992, and the shorter, historically harsh two -year drought that parched the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys from 1976 to 1977. Farmers, a mainstay of our economy, suffered devastating crop losses in those years and the natural environment sustained significant, even irreversible damage, in some places. Right now we are in the midst of a similar situation, with farmers once again bearing the brunt. (See sidebar.) 12 Wate,fv TOmo"ow Volume One• Number One Lessons learned in earlier droughts have been put in place, though some would say much more can be done. For example, new legislation has been enacted to encourage water - conserving building codes on new construction, and water metering has been extended to many communities that had not monitored individual use before. Millions of dollars have been invested in upgrades of some local and regional public/private water projects, including the creation of several local reservoirs and underground water banks. Water recycling and desalination are also on the rise. Even the face of California agriculture has evolved with many farmers shifting from lower value, water intensive crops to higher value, water efficient ones and upgrading their irrigation methods. But several new factors make today's water shortage situation more serious. Not only has the population that must be served grown by nine million since the last multi-year drought, but climate change is altering our rain and snowfall patterns. A series of storms in February 2009 helped boost our snowpack and reservoirs, but not enough to make up for the previous two dry years. Water storage in our main reservoirs remains low, and this year's Sierra snowpack- the natural "reservoir" whose melting waters feed a series of manmade reservoirs downstream — cannot make up for the major deficits experienced in 2008 and 2007. Delta Blues Regardless of the rain and snowfall we receive, California will still face shortages. Environmental problems in the heart of the state's water system are reducing water deliveries for many California cities, farms and businesses. The problems will continue to restrict water supplies even when the current drought ends and more normal rain and snowfall patterns return 'Two of the state's largest water ti, .W0;ystems -- the State Water Project and federal Central Valley Project -- move water through the Sacramento -San Joaquin River Delta to more than 25 aillion people in the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California and to more than 2.5 million acres of farmland. The Delta, however, is in an ecological crisis, with several key species in decline. I\rew rules in place to protect one threatened species — the Delta smelt — have resulted in permanent restrictions on ware- project operations. The restrictions, the result of a federal lawsuit, are reducing water deliveries by as much as 30 percent in average years. Other regulatory actions invoh ing salmon and long -fun smelt are expected to restrict supplies even further in 2009. These restrictions are just one symptom of the problems facing the Delta. Other factors include conflicts arising from the 50- year -old infrastructure used to convey water through the Delta, pollution, non -native species, land subsidence and seismic issues that have led to sharp declines in both ecosystem health and water supply reliability. Public processes are under way to address these challenges. In the meantime, however, California needs a survival strategy to keep water flowing to the cities, farms and businesses. Conservation is a key part of this strategy. To that end, state and local agencies have partnered in a new statewide public education effort called "Save Our Water." The program is aimed at educating Californians on the state's water supply challenges and encouraging them to reduce the amount of water they use every day. See ideas on how to save within this magazine.

GOOD: Spread two to three inches of organic or synthetic mulch around plants, shrubs, and trees. This allows the underlying soil to rennin moisture and reduces weeding, both of which benefit plant growth. You won't need to water as often either. GOOD: Wash fruits and vegetables over a bowl or bucket in your sink and reuse it to water plants. Also, don't keep the tap running when washing dishes. "da Instead, clean them in a sink full of soapy water and rinse afterward. Outdoors BETTER: Install a smart irrigation system that uses state -of- the -art technology to care for your lawn and gardens and cut your outdoor water consumption by 25-45 percent. This computer -based method of irrigation integrates current weather data from the Web with analysis of soil moisture content collected by ground sensors to provide precision watering for outdoor areas. Kitchen BETTER: Fix leaky faucets. Those drips may not seem like a lot, but collectively, American households with defective faucets waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually. Did you know that: 60 drops = 192 gallons per minute lost per month 90 drops = 310 gallons per minute lost per month 120 drops = 429 gallons per minute lost per month Bathroom BEST: Plant drought - resistant trees, shrubs, and plants that are native to your region. This is called xeriscaping and its fundamental benefit is water conservation, though other advantages include minimal upkeep and lower water bills. Check with your local garden center to find out which species are recommended for your area. BEST: Install faucet aerators. It's the single most effective war to conserve water in your house. Old- fashioned faucets use 2.75 gallons per minute, but low -flow aerators can reduce flow to 0.5 or 1.5 gpm, saving the average home 14,700 gallons per year. Alost modern faucets are threaded inside to accept an acrator, making installation even by the least handy almost instantaneous. GOOD: Turn off the tap while BETTER: Install a low -flow 1.5 gallons- BEST: Replace your old toilet with brushing your teeth and per - minute showerhead — a newer low -flow, dual -flush save roughly two gallons this can save the average family model and you will conserve Per minute. No purchases close to 8,000 gallons of water 50 percent more water in the or products required, just per year. Showering accounts bathroom. (Non-conserving a little eco- thoughtfulness. for 17 percent of a household's toilets can use more than indoor water use. Cutting back 3.5 gallons per flush but on hot water expenditure has the high- efficien(y toilets — secondary benefit of reducing or HETs — only require energy consumption, too. 1.6 gallons per flush.) �JIli1V www.water(ortomormwmaa.corn thorn srCater, our snmr,ia,i:ry 17 FUN & FACTS f . 1 �.,... 1. _ ACROSS 1.

How did you get concerned about California's Water issues? A. Everybody should be concerned about California's water. The average Californian has traditionally taken their water for a�ur' granted, and before I started this I wasn't much different. There's a natural tendency here to think that water comes Out of the tap in the same way that food comes out of the grocery store. Reporting on the subject turned out to be a perfect assignment. Like most people I hadn't followed the water agenda closely beforehand and I knew little or nothing about what went on to deliver water to all of us. Each episode was a learning Experience for me and my viewers. Q. What impressed you most in your travels? A. Two things. First, was the sheer complexity of California's plumbing system. When you really get into it you have to be amazed at the ingenuity and foresight that went into its planning and construction decades ago. Second, I was bowled over by the professionalism and commitment I found among the people who run the various facilities today -- everyone from the guys .mud d who maintain the levees and measure the snow mass up in the Sierras to the ones who keep the pumps running and treat the water. I came to see that they've been fighting a lonely battle for years, pretty much Invisible to the rest of us. Only recently are ordinary citizens and even the politicians starting to pay attention to what they do. Water experts have been sounding the alarms for a long time, but so long as clean water was flowing, most Californians tended to think everything would always be OK. Q. How did you go about making the PBS series "California's Water "? A. We started with a roadmap from ACWA and then followed the story wherever it took us. To make the original 21 30- minute segments took over tyvo years as my crew and I traveled all over the state. We will continue to add two or three more episodes per year because how California meets these challenges is an ongoing story. And I'm delighted that people continue to watch the original episodes. They're shown at schools and at civic clubs and WIN/. You can also see them as streaming videos at vmw. acwa .com/television/segments.asp. Q. What kind of feedback have you had from the public? A. The reaction has been 100 percent supportive. People regularly thank me for demystifying the whole issue, for explaining terms like groundwater and aquifer and acre -feet in terms they can understand. For two weeks after we did the segment on the Delta, people in Los Angeles were constantly coming up to me and saying, ^I never knew what all the fuss was about the Delta and why it matters until you took us there." Q. Do you think Californians are finally getting the conservation message? A. Yes, people are starting to understand that the days of unlimited water are gone and that we have to adapt to that fact. The amount of water we have is not going to increase nor is the state going to stop growing. So we've got to make what we have go further. Sure, there'll be wet years and dry years, the reservoirs will be up and they'll be down. Water conservation will become part of everyday life and in a generation or so people will marvel that we ever even debated about it. www.watetlonomortowmaB�om CJ'v(D�ll'9$�:a�P {DW Ak)1G�'>'UJily 19 910 K Street, Suite 100 Sacramento, CA 95814 -3577 Association of California Water Agencies PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID ONWARD PUBLISHING INC.

Introduction and Summary This report presents a calculation of updated water and sewer capacity charges for the East Valley Water District ( "District "). The introduction explains the study approach and summarizes results under the following sections: Background and study objectives; 4 Public facilities financing in California; and Organization of the report. The District is projected to experience substantial new development in the coming years, creating a demand for expanded water and sewer system infrastructure to ensure that adequate capacity is available. A Water Master Plan, recently completed by CDM, estimated that annual water demand will increase from 23,900 acre -feet currently to 42,400 acre -feet at buildout (estimated to occur in 2036). A 2002 Wastewater Collection System Master Plan, prepared by Psomas in 2002, made similar f ndings for the sewer system. This study uses the capital improvement needs from the two master plans to determine the appropriate capacity charges to reflect the cost of infrastructure needed to accommodate new development. Data for the sewer system has been updated to incorporate current cost estimates and projections of new development. The charges also include a component for a new District headquarters facility. The costs for the headquarters have been allocated between existing and new development because all customers will benefit equally from this facility. ±_ ?cnCit:C�i`Gi!i Ci -nd Fill. dy l.)flj�CiIVGS The primary policy objective of a capacity charge program is to ensure that new users or new development pays their fair share of the capital costs associated with their demands on the system. To fulfill this objective, public agencies should review and update their capacity charges periodically to incorporate the best available information. This report updates the previous capacity charge analyses. The update identifies changes to water and wastewater demand, land use categories, and facilities needed to accommodate expected development in the District through buildout. Treatment of one large development project, Sunrise Ranch, varies throughout this report depending on the relationship between the project and the needed facilities outlined in the master plans. Sunrise Ranch will be required to pay capacity charges for its fair -share of off -site improvements, while also funding construction of on -site infrastructure. Capacity charges are subject to the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act ( "Acf'), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025. More specifically, capacity charges are governed by California Government Code Section 66013. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act and Section 66013 for adoption of the revised water capacity charges presented in thy.=, schedule of charges contained herein. :A�WILLDAN F,, r. ,.,, �,v East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Ii3l1'1t 11 ^IC) :i1 l~ %i'1(. !.... The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 30 years has steadily undercut the " financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out: • The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996; • Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation of residents and businesses; and Steep reductions in federal and state assistance. Faced with these trends, many agencies have chosen to adopt a policy of "growth pays its own way." This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing ratepayers onto new users. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the imposition of assessments, special taxes, development impact fees, connection fees, and /or capacity charges. Assessments and special taxes require approval of property owners and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property. Development impact fees, connection fees, and capacity charges, on the other hand, are appropriate funding sources for facilities that benefit all development jurisdiction -wide. Development impact fees, connection fees, and capacity charges need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption. Table 1.1 below shows the District's current water capacity charge schedule as well as the updated charges calculated in this report. The water capacity charge is based on the size of the connecting meter because meter sizes are directly related to the system capacity needed to serve a given development. The equivalancy factors shown in Table 1.1 are based on District data and reflect the relative amounts of system capacity needed to serve each capacity type. See the following chapter for more detail on equivalency factors and demand by meter size.

Water Capacity Charge Analysis This section presents an analysis of the cost of the water facilities to meet the water system demands resulting from new users within the East Valley Water District. The capacity charge is based on the cost of future facilities that have been determined to be necessary to provide adequate system capacity for new development. A schedule of charges is presented based on the cost of these facilities to ensure that new users provide adequate funding to meet their needs. utur ai1G Table 2.1 presents current and future development, in terms of acres of developed land, by major land use category. The growth estimates are from the recently completed Water Master Plan. New development is shown for the Sunrise Ranch development project as well as development in all other parts of the District. Sunrise Ranch is shown separately because, given both its location and large size, not all of the planned facilities and capacity will be directly related to the project. Accordingly, some improvement costs will be allocated to all new development while others will be allocated only to development not in Sunrise Ranch.

"' E. - i l.,.,.;0 This section outlines future water system improvement needs, as identified in the Master Plan. —' Improvement needs are divided between those that would be needed with or without development of Sunrise Ranch and those that have been sized, in part, to accommodate flow demand from Sunrise Ranch. Table 2.4 shows planned improvements that are wholly independent of Sunrise Ranch. In other words, each of these improvements would be needed at the same scale even if no development were to occur at the Sunrise Ranch site. The cost of projects in the table below is allocated between existing and new development based on guidance from District engineering staff. The share of an improvement allocated to existing development represents the share of the project costs that would have to be expended if no new development were to occur in the District. These cost shares represent improvements that the District would have to undertake solely for the benefit of existing customers. Table 2.5 details the Master Plan improvements that are partially needed to serve Sunrise Ranch. Although these projects are not needed solely to serve Sunrise Ranch, District staff determined that they were sized to accommodate water demand from that development. The improvements shown in Table 2.5 are allocated between existing and new development in the same manner as was done in Table 2.4; however, in this case the "new development" allocation includes all new development in the District. Several projects shown in Table 2.5 are allocated between existing and new development at 56 and 44 percent, respectively. These include the stationary emergency power supply facilities, the mobile standby power generators, and the new District headquarters facility. These factors come from Table 2.3 and reflect the percentage of total buildout water demand that results from development that has already taken place and the percentage of total buildout demand that will result from future development. In other words, per unit of demand, these costs are allocated evenly to all water users. The power supply and generator projects are needed to provide the capability to pump water for fire suppression and other uses during an emergency when primary power supplies are out of service. Backup power supplies will benefit all customers, both existing and new development. Similarly, the headquarters will benefit all system users. The cost of the headquarters facility has been allocated between the water and sewer components of this report based on their relative shares of the total District budget. Accordingly, 65 percent of the headquarters is accounted for in the water capacity charge because 65 percent of the total budget is dedicated to the water system. 6 East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Table 2.4: ` fuj.10 Total Allocation - of Sunrise Ranch _Pumping Facilities - Improvements to Existing Facilities Plant 127 $ 300,000 Plant 40 900,000 Plant 134 1,300,000 Plant 39 2,200,000 Plant 25 400.000 Total $ 5,100,000 _Supply Facilities - New Wells Plant 150 $ 1,430,000 Plant 151 Total $ 1,430,000 80% 50% 20% 20% 0% 0% 50% 20% 50% 80% 80% 100% 100% 50% $ $ $ 240,000 450,000 260,000 440,000 1,390,000 - - $ $ $ 60,000 450,OD0 1,040,000 1,760,000 400,000 3,710,000 1,430,000 $ - $ 1,430,000 _ Supply Facilities Treatment Plants Plant 150 Phase 1 (a) $ 21,500,000 80% 20% $ 17,200,000 $ 4,300,000 Plant 134 Upgrades 16,000,000 50% 50% 8,000,000 8,000,000 Plant 152 29,000,000 80% 20% 23,200,000 5,80000 Total $ 66,500,000 $ 48,400,000 $ 18,100,000 Transmission Pipelines - New Alignments Plant 39 to Upper Zone $ 300,000 0% 100% $ - $ 300,000 Sterling Pipeline Extension 2,800,000 0% 100% - 2,800,000 Date St Pipeline 1,600,000 50% 50% 800,000 800,000 Plant 28 to Plant 150 700,000 80% 20% 560,000 140,000 Plant 12 to Plart 150 2,800,000 80% 20% 2,240,000 560,000 Total $ 8,200,000 $ 3,600,000 $ 4,600,000 Transmission Pioelines - Existing Pipeline Upgrades Plant 127 $ 7,000,000 50% 50% $ 3,500,000 $ 3,500,000 Plant 39 to Upper Zone 100,000 0% 100% - 100,000 Plant 131 400,000 0% 100% 400,000 Total $ 7,500,000 $ 3,500,000 $ 4,000,000 Total, All Projects $ 88,730,000 $ 56,890,000 $ 31,840,000 'Estimates of demand allocation between new and edsting development provided by the East Valley Wate t No cost shown because the project is already funded. 3 cost estimate differs from the Master Plan and reflects a more current estimate, provided by District staff. source: East Valley Water District: Tables 7.2 to 7 -5 Water Master Plan. ii alv 7 East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Table 2.5: Capital Im acts Allocation - Pro Impacted by Sunrise Ranch Existing New I Existing New Storage Reservoirs Plant 143 $ 10,700,000 25% 75% $ 2,675,000 $ 8,025,000 Total $ 10,700,000 6,400,000 Total 2,675,000 8,025,000 Pumping Facilities - New Pump Stations $ - $ 6.400,000 Transmission Pipe lines - New Alignments Plant 143 $ 2,900,000 0% 100% $ $ 2,900,000 Total $ 2,900,000 25% 75% $ - $ 2,900,000 Supply Facilities - New Wells 4,050,000 Plant 40 to Plant 143 7,700,000 25% 75% Well A $ 1,430,000 0% 100% i $ - $ 1,430,000 Well B 80% 1,430,000 0% 100% 720,000 1,430,000 Total $ 2,860,000 $ li $ - $ 2,860,000 Supply Facilities - Treatment Plants Plant 150 Phase 2 $ 6,400,000 0% 100% $ - $ 6,400,000 Total $ 6,400,000 $ - $ 6.400,000 Transmission Pipe lines - New Alignments Lankershim to Plant 40 $ 5,400.000 25% 75% $ 1,350,000 $ 4,050,000 Plant 40 to Plant 143 7,700,000 25% 75% 1,925,000 5,775,000 Plant 134 to Canal Zone 900,000 20% 80% 180,000 720,000 Total $ 14,000,000 $ 3,455,000 $ 10,545,000 Stationary Emergency Power Supply Facilities Plant 150 $ 1,400,000 56% 44% $ 784,891 $ 615,109 Plant 134 700,000 56% 44% 392,445 307,555 Plant 39 100,000 56% 44% 56,064 43,936 Plant 143 900,000 56% 44°% 504,572 395,428 Plunge Creek PS 900,000 56% 44% 504,572 395,428 Total $ 4.000.000 $ 2,242.544 $ 1,757,456 Mobile Standby Power Generators UnitA $ 300,000 56% 44% $ 168,191 $ 131,809 Unit B 300,000 56% 44% 168,191 131,809 Unit 300,000 56% 44% 168,191 131,809 Unit 300,000 56% 44% 168,191 131,809 Total $ 1,200,000 $ 672,763 $ 527,237 New Headquarters Facility (65%)2 $ 16,250,000 56% 44% $ 9,110,337 $ 7,139,663 Total, All Projects $ 58,310,000 $ 18,155,644 $ 40,154,356 ' Estimates of demand allocation between new and existing development provided by the East Valley Water District.

The total cost of improvements needed to provide sufficient capacity for new development can be converted to a capacity charge schedule by determining costs per unit of demand. Table 2.7 shows the calculation of two water system unit costs, expressed in terms of cost per gallon per day (GPD) of demand. The first unit cost reflects the cost allocation for projects that are not impacted by Sunrise Ranch. The cost per GPD for projects independent of Sunrise Ranch is calculated by dividing the new development share of these projects (from Table 2.4) by the daily mu+rl /WILLDAN c...,,., s •,��... 9 East Valley Water District Water and Sewer flow demand from new development, excluding Sunrise Ranch (from Table 2.3). The second unit cost is based on the projects that will be impacted by Sunrise Ranch. In this case, the new development cost share is divided by projected daily flows from all new development. The costs per GPD shown in Table 2.7 form the basis of the water capacity charges. Development outside of Sunrise Ranch will pay the combined total of both unit costs because that development will benefit from, and create a need for, both project lists. Sunrise Ranch development will only pay a fee based on the project list from Table 2.5, the projects that are impacted by all development District -wide. Table 2.7: Water System Costs per GPD Projects Independent of Sunrise Ranch Costs Allocated to New Development $ 31,840,000 Demand Growth (GPD) 7,643,923 Cost Per GPD [A] $ 4.17 Projects Impacted by Sunrise Ranch Costs Allocated to New Development $ 40,154,356 Demand Growth (GPD) 13,649,639 Cost Per GPD [B] $ 2.94 Fee per GPD for Sunrise Ranch Development [ = B] $ 2.94 Fee per GPD for All Other Development [ = A + B] $ 7.11 Sources: Tables 2.3 -2.5. Although the basis for the capacity charge is the cost per GPD, the capacity charges will ultimately be assessed based on meter size, because the size of a meter is indicative of the system capacity needed to serve a new account. Accordingly, the calculation shown below converts the cost per GPD to cost per 3/4" meter so that the charges can be assessed based on meter size. Table 2.8 identifies the unit cost in terms of the demand from a 3/4" meter. The cost of system infrastructure needed to provide adequate capacity for a 3/4" meter is based on the costs per GPD (Table 2.7) multiplied by the average daily usage of a residential water account. Meters of this size represent the smallest available system hookup and they provide adequate capacity to serve a single residential dwelling unit.

Sources: Table 2.7; East Valley Water District; Willdan Financial Services. IPFOI�-OE,E'dl VVEAC.'r Capacity Charges Tables 2.9a and 2.9b show the proposed water capacity charges, based on the costs per 3/4" meter equivalent outlined in the previous section. Charges for other meter sizes are based on meter equivalency factors that reflect the flow capacity of each meter size, relative to that of a 3/4" meter. The equivalency factors are based on District data and are appropriate for use in a capacity charge analysis because they reflect flow capacity rather than average flows by meter size. Although national data is available for average flows by meter size, it is less appropriate for this type of study because it fails to capture the total capacity needed to accommodate each system hookup. Capacity charges should most accurately reflect the system capacity needed to adequately accommodate new development peak flow potential, whereas ongoing water rates will reflect actual use of water. As described in the previous sections, the capacity charges for Sunrise Ranch are based on a limited project list and are therefore lower than the charges for other development. Although Sunrise Ranch will pay lower capacity charges, it will also be required to construct and dedicate all needed onsite improvements (see Table 2.6). The charge for Sunrise Ranch reflects a fair - share allocation for the cost of improvements that will yield a system -wide benefit. 71LLDAN East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Table 2.9a: Water Connection Charge Schedule - Sunrise Ranch 314" Meter Equivalency Connection (Cost Per EDU) Factor Charge Meter Size 3/4" Meter (Cost Per EDU) Equivalency Factor Connection Charge 3/4" $ 1,821 1.00 $ 1,821 1" 1,821 1.67 3,041 11/2" 1,821 3.33 6,065 2" 1,821 5.33 9,706 3" 1,821 10.00 18,211 4" 1,821 16.68 30,379 6" 1,821 33.30 60,646 8" 1,821 60.00 109,264 10" 1,821 100.00 182,106 Source: Table 2.8; Willdan Financial Services.

Sewer Capacity Charge analysis This section presents an analysis of the cost of the sewer facilities needed to meet the demands resulting from new users within the East Valley Water District. Sewer capacity charges are determined based on the cost of facilities needed to serve new users. The District provides wastewater collection for development within its boundaries. Wastewater treatment is provided by the City of San Bernardino, and treatment facilities are not included in this study. The capacity charge is based on the cost of future facilities that have been determined to be necessary to provide adequate system capacity for new development. A schedule of charges is presented based on the cost of these facilities to ensure that new users provide adequate funding to meet their needs. i'tiLLi1 & ,_.'tc'.'c' C'j i11' ;1i cli*Id S6vvc�i V ?E> llaftd. Table 3.1 presents current and future development, in terms of acres of developed land, by major land use category. The growth estimates are from the recently completed Water Master Plan. The Water Master Plan was used instead of the Sewer Master Plan because it contains a more current estimate of exiting and future development. Sunrise Ranch is shown separately because, given both its location and large size, it is expected to have an independent sewer infrastructure system that will not interact with the sewer facilities in the rest of the District. This system will be funded by the project's developer and dedicated to the District. Accordingly, a share of the costs of the headquarters facility will be allocated to all new development, including Sunrise Ranch, '4�kullo, while the remainder of the Master Plan improvements will be allocated only to development outside of Sunrise Ranch, Table 3.1: New and Existing Development Acres General Plan Classification Existing Acreage New Development (Net of Sunrise Ranch) New Development Sunrise Ranch Total New Development Total Buildout Acreage AGR 109 282 - 282 391 COM 655 457 457 1,112 IND 86 146 146 232 MRF -14 232 175 - 175 407 MFR -30 79 56 56 135 PARK 203 9 9 212 PUB 390 147 147 537 SFR -12 1,044 480 2 482 1,526 SFR -3 151 965 2,912 3,877 4,028 SFR -5 3,602 551 551 4,153 Total 6,551 3,268 2,914 6,182 12,733 Source: East valley Water District: Table 2 -1 Water Master Plan.

The Master Plan includes two separate improvement scenarios, one with Sunrise Ranch and one without. This analysis is based on the improvement scenario that does not include Sunrise Ranch. This approach has been used because the sewer facilities needed to accommodate Sunrise Ranc i have not been fully identified and are not expected to overlap with the facilities needed to serve development elsewhere. Sunrise Ranch is expected to fund and dedicate all of its on -site faci'ities, eliminating the need for a capacity charge to fund those improvements. Table 3.4 shows planned improvements that are wholly independent of Sunrise Ranch. Cost estimates have been updated from those in the 2002 Master Plan to reflect the current costs. The updated costs were estimated by the District's consultant, CDM. The Wastewater Collection System Master Plan also includes a separate list of improvements needed to remedy existing deficiencies.

Project costs were allocated between existing and new development based on guidance from District engineering staff. The share of improvement costs allocated to existing development represents the share of project costs that would have to be expended if no new development were to occur in the District. This cost share represents improvements that the District would undertake solely for the benefit of existing customers. Overall, the District has conservatively estimated that 20 percent of the cost of these improvements should be borne by existing customers rather than new development. That cost share represents any deficiencies that may have developed since completion of the Master Plan as well as a contribution for regulatory requirements that would be needed with or without new development. Table 3.5 also shows the sewer allocation for a new District headquarters facility. The headquarters facility has been allocated between the water and sewer components of this report based on their relative shares of the total District budget. Accordingly, 35 percent of the headquarters is accounted for in the sewer capacity charge because 35 percent of the total budget is dedicated to the sewer system. Table 3.5: Capital Improvement Project List Summary Master Plan Improvements Total Cost of Master Plan Improvement Projects $ 10,237,586 Allocation to Existing Users (20 %) $ 2,047,517 Allocation to Future Users (80 %) 8,190,069 Headquarters Facility Estimated Cost of New Headquarters Facility $ 25,000,000 Percent Allocation to Sewer CIP 35% Cost of Headquarters Allocated to Sewer' $ 8,750,000 ' The estimated $'S million cost for a new headquarters building has been allocated between the water and sewer divisions based on their respective shares of the District budget. The cost allocated to the sewer division is then allocated equally between new and existing customers based on their shares of the buildout sewer demand. Sources: Table 3.4; East Valley Water District; Willdan Financial Services The total cost of improvements needed to provide sufficient capacity for new development can be converted to a capacity charge schedule by determining costs per unit of demand. Table 3.6 below shows the calculation of two sewer system unit costs, expressed in terms of cost per gallon per day (GPD) of demand. The first unit cost reflects the cost allocation for development outside of Sunrise Ranch. The cost per GPD is calculated by dividing the new development share of Master Plan improvement projects (from Table 3.5) by the daily flow demand from new /MIL DAN r:�,e o:.n Se: —, 77 East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update development, excluding Sunrise Ranch (from Table 3.3). The second unit cost is based only on the sewer share of the headquarters facility. In this case, the cost share is allocated to all new and existing development, whether in or out of Sunrise Ranch. The costs per GPD shown in Table 3.6 will form the basis of the sewer capacity charges. Development outside of Sunrise Ranch will pay the combined total of both unit costs because that development will benefit from, and create a need for, both the Master Plan projects and the headquarters. Sunrise Ranch development will only pay a small fee based on the District -wide allocation of the headquarters cost. Table 3.6: Sewer Cost per GPD for New Development New Development Allocation for Master Plan Improvements $ 8,190,069 Demand of Future Users (Net of Sunrise Ranch) (GPD) 1,828,000 Master Plan Cost Per GPD [Al $ 4.48 Sewer Allocation for Headquarters Facility $ 8,750,000 Total Demand at Buildout (GPD) 5,918,200 Headquarters Cost Per GPD [B] $ 1.48 Fee per GPD for Sunrise Ranch Development [ = B] $ 1.48 Total New Development Cost per GPD [= A + e] $ 5.96 Sources: Tables 3.3 and 3.5; East Valley Water District; Willdan Financial Services. Table 3.7 converts the cost per GPD to a cost per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). EDUs are a standardized set of units that express the demand for sewer capacity from a given unit of development relative to that of single family dwelling unit. EDU factors in this study are based on sewer flow data from the City of San Bernardino. This data has been used by the District to allocate sewer costs and reasonably represents sewer demand by land use type in the District. According to the San Bernardino data, average sewer flow from a single family dwelling unit is 281 GPD. One EDU, therefore, equates to 281 GPD. The costs per EDU calculated in Table 3.7 are based on the costs per GPD from Table 3.6 multiplied by the average flow from a single family dwelling unit. 78 '4&C -0, East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Table 3.7: Fee per EDU Sunrise Ranch Cost per GPD' $ 1.48 Average Daily Usage per EDU (GPD)2 281 Cost per EDU $ 415.46 All Other Development Cost per GF'D $ 5.96 Average Daily Usage per EDU (GPD)' 281 Cost per EDU $ 1,674.43 ' Reflects only the fair -share cost allocation for the headquarters facility.

Charges for uses other than single - family dwelling units are based on the San Bernardino EDU factors. As described in the previous sections, the sewer capacity charges for Sunrise Ranch are based only on a share of the headquarters facility and are therefore lower than the charges for other development. Although Sunrise Ranch will pay lower capacity charges, it will also be required to construct and dedicate all needed onsite improvements. From time to time, the District may encounter development projects that do not fit neatly into one of the land use categories shown in the capacity charge schedules. In those cases, the District may opt to use the fees from the most closely matching category or use alternative sewer flow estimates to determine the appropriate fees. v 79 East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Table 3.8a: Sewer Connection Charge Schedule - Sunrise Ranch Type of Use Estimated GPD Unit EDU Factor Fee per Unit' Single Family Residential 281.00 Dwelling Unit 1.00000 $ 415.46 Apartment (4 or more units) 210.00 Dwelling Unit 0.74733 310.48 Senior Housing 135.00 Dwelling Unit 0.48043 199.60 Assembly /Dance Hall 2.00 Seat 0.00712 2.96 Auto Service or Gas Station 0.05 Building Sq.

Mitigation F -ee Act Findings Capacity charges are one -time fees typically paid when applying for new or increased service and are imposed on development projects by local agencies. To guide the widespread imposition of such charges, the State Legislature adopted the Mitigation Fee Act ( "Act') with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent amendments. The Act, contained in the California Government Code (beginning with Section 66000), establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fee and charge programs. The Act requires local agencies to document five findings when adopting a fee. In 1997, the legislature provided for specific statutory authority for agencies such as the District to impose and collect certain charges (designated as "capacity charges ") to allow for financing and capital cost recovery for facilities (new or existing) to meet the demands imposed on such system from new users (see California Government Code Section 66013). The five findings in the Act required for adoption of the maximum justified fees documented in this report are: 1) Purpose of fee, 2) Use of fee revenues, 3) Benefit relationship, 4) Burden relationship, and 5) Proportionality. They are each discussed below and are supported throughout the rest of this report. Pu!-1)OSE Ol t,6(- • Identify the purpose of the fee ( §66001(a)(1) of the Act). The policy of the District is that new users or new development will not burden existing ratepayers with the cost of public facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the Capacity Charges documented by this Report is to implement this policy by providing a funding source from new users for infrastructure that is available to meet their demands on the system. The exaction of the Capacity Charges advances a legitimate interest by enabling the District to meet the water supply and wastewater collection needs of new users. USE rNi Fee Revi nuec, • Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged ( §66001(a)(2) of the Act). The Capacity Charges documented by this Report will be used to fund the capital improvements detailed herein. The improvements are also detailed in the Water Master Plan and Wastewater Collection System Master Plan prepared previously for the District. 22 `4alo East Valley Water District Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update • Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed ( §66001(a)(3) of the Act. The District's facilities and systems provide water and sewer service accessible to the buildings and facilities resulting from new development. Capacity Charge revenues will be used to expand, upgrade, restore, rehabilitate, maintain, and modernize the existing systems, which will provide the capacity to accommodate new users. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of Capacity Charge revenues and the types of new users or new development that will pay the charge. Bluiden l iic?rl::hip • Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed ( §66001(a)(4) of the Act). Capacity Charges will be imposed on development projects connecting to or expanding their use of water and sewer services. The need for the facilities to be funded with Capacity Charges is based on the cumulative demands for water and wastewater collection facilities resulting from projected new development. For both water and sewer facilities, the need for facilities and improvements was determined based on technical modeling processes presented within the Water Master Plan and Wastewater Collection System Master Plan. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship based on sound engineering principles for the charges imposed. +il11;,I" Ii • Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount or the fee and the cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed ( §66001(b) of the Act). The total water Capacity Charge for a specific project is based on the project's projected use of water system capacity. The schedule of charges converts the estimated capacity that a development project will use in the water system into a charge based on the meter size required by that project Projects that are projected to demand more water will require larger meters and will pay a higher charge, as they will use more of the system's capacity and require a greater proportionate share of the planned water facilities. For sewer, the Capacity Charge will be based on equivalent dwelling unit factors that reflect the estimated sewer flow resulting from a development project. Thus, the schedule of charges ensures a reasonable relationship between the Capacity Charge for a specific development project and the cost of the facilities associated with sewer demand resulting from that development project. _- /WILLDAN V�✓ r,�.,•,�,a s.,..u. 4 23 5. Implementation This section identifies tasks that the District should complete when implementing the updated water and sewer capacity charges. Capacity Charge Program Adoption Process Subject to the advice of legal counsel, the District's Board of Directors ( "Board ") should adopt a resolution to implement the updated capacity charges documented in this report. The resolution should be in accordance with the District's existing capacity charge ordinances. The resolution could reference the ordinance, set the amount of the charges, and reference this report to justify the amount of the charges. The Board should make a finding that this action is consistent with both the ordinance and with California Government Code Section 66016, which establish requirements for the capacity charge implementation process. The District should: At least 14 days prior to adoption, send a notice of a public hearing, including a general explanation of the matter to be considered, and a statement that the data required by this section is available to any party that has submitted a written request for such a notice. At least 10 days prior to the hearing, publish notice of a public hearing on the proposed capacity charge. At least 10 days prior to the hearing, have this report and all supporting documentation such as the updated facility master plans available for review by the public. Hold the public hearing as part of a regularly scheduled meeting to consider a resolution adopting the updated capacity charge. Adopt a resolution establishing the updated capacity charge amounts. Identify Non -Fee Revenue Sources Capacity charges may only be imposed to fund new development's fair share of facility costs. Because the District intends to use capacity charge revenue for projects that serve both new and existing development, the District should consider how the costs allocated to existing development might be supplemented through the use of alternative funding sources. Potential sources of revenue include water and sewer rates, the use of existing taxes, new or existing special assessments, or grant funding from an outside agency. Any new special tax would require two - thirds voter approval, while new assessments or property - related charges would require majority property -owner approval. /ILLDAN I �_j k„ 24 East Valley Water.7istrict Water and Sewer Capacity Charge Update Inflation Adjustment Appropriate inflation indexes should be identified in a capacity charge ordinance potentially including an automatic annual adjustment to the charges. The construction cost index can be based on the District's recent capital project experience or can be taken from any reputable source, such 3s the Engineering News- Record. Reporting Requirements The District should comply with the annual reporting requirements of the Act as detailed in California Government Code Section 66013(d). For facilities to be funded by a combination of capacity charges and other revenues, identification of the source and amount of these non -fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of receipt of other revenues to fund the facilities is also important. Capacity Charge Accounting The District should deposit capacity charge revenues into a restricted account. Capacity charges collected for a given facility category should only be expended consistent with the "Use of Fee Revenues" finding documented in the previous chapter. Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP The District should maintain a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to adequately plan for future infrastructure needs. The District should commit all projected capacity charge revenues and fund balances to specific projects. These projects should be facilities needed to serve growth, such as those described in this report. The use of the CIP in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of capacity charge revenues. 25 -dim, EastValley Water District August 21, 2009 MEMORANDUM To: Board of Directors From: Robert Martin, General Manager Subject: Professional Services Agreement (Nobel) I received a request from Director Sturgeon for the Board to review our Professional Services Agreement with Nobel for the GIS data conversion project.

The package was not well- received. In fact, prior to the commencement of the hearing, a letter from G :)vernor Schwarzenegger was delivered to legislative leaders wherein the governor expressed opposition to any package that did not include funding for new surface and gr)undwater storage projects. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D- Sacramento) said later that he is not opposed to including a water bond, but that the estimated $10 billion price tag was unacceptable given the state's financial condition. The Schwarze iegger Administration's views also were represented at the joint hearing through testimony by Lester Snow, Director of the Department of Water Resources and Joe Grindstaff, deputy secretary for the Natural Resources Agency. Snow recognized the effort put it to the drafting of the five bills, but pointedly stated that the package is not complete and it does not represent all of the necessary elements, including a water resources G.O. bond that will be essential to funding necessary actions. He also stated that the legislation appears to present additional obstacles to restoring the Delta ecosystem and ensuring a healthy state economy through water resources development and reliability. Grindstaff enumerated a number of significant concerns, including that Vie package gives little attention to the goal of reliable water supply; requires an en ity (Delta Stewardship Council) to adopt the CEQA document for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) - -an entity that has not participated in the process; and provides far-re=tching authority to the Delta Stewardship Council to determine -1- consistency with the proposed Delta plan that instead should be specified in statute. Grindstaff alsc stated that provisions relating to the creation of a Delta water master are problematic ar d provisions to create a science board do not also require a science program, whici is necessary. Senator Dennis Hollingsworth (R- Temecula), the Republican Leader, early in the hearing voicec disappointment and bewilderment about where the limited perspective evidenced in the drafting of the legislation came from, that it seemed to lack the earlier efforts this year that were bipartisan in nature. He also noted the lack of a water resources bond in conference. Delta Communities Perspective The five Delta counties are united and were represented by five supervisors at the joint hearing. In testimony, supervisors stated that the package must include funding to implement all aspects of the legislative package, which must sustain Delta communities and its economy. The package must address flood control, delta levee maintenance and new water supply, and must protect water rights seniority. Co -equal goals must also be joined by the c oal of protecting cultural, socioeconomic and economic needs of Delta communities. f=inal authority for a Delta conveyance facility must rest with the Legislature and no one else. Greg Gartrell with Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) stated that legislation is needed and should me ve with all deliberate speed as it takes two years at least in planning, design and pe -rnitting for every one year of construction if there is no opposition, based on CCWD experience. It doesn't matter whether the Legislature acts in the next four weeks or early next year, however, since the package must be comprehensive and well thought -out. The state should consider adoption of an anti - degradation policy for Delta. The package provisions relating to user fees only addresses the water user beneficiaries and leaves out all others that impact Delta land and water resources. Other issues he raised included: CVPIA payees should receive a credit for money paid under federal r:ontract requirements under the user fee provisions; the Delta Stewardship Council must be balanced; Delta Stewardship Council authority is far too broad reaching. In response to a question, Mr. Gartrell argues that dual conveyance must be the sc lution based on rules adopted for how much water can be taken out of the South Delta. He referenced his concern that BDCP was not giving enough attention to dual option, which he says is necessary because if water passes a Sacramento River only diversion point, then it is lost to export. Tom Zuckerman on behalf of the Central Delta Water Agency identified the fundamental challenge as how much water and the timing of water does it take to protect the Delta. We don't know. He provided some legal history of the State Water Project (SWP) and Federal Central Valley Project (CVP) to demonstrate that the original facility plan never -2- materialized and therefore too much water is dedicated to meeting export obligations without the necessary storage to support such export levels. The result is a degraded Delta. Billions :)f dollars cannot be spent on a peripheral canal without addressing needs of the Celta, he argued. He also warned against placing too much authority in a stewardship council that is appointed. He said there is an immediate need to free up Prop 1A and Frop 84 money for immediate actions; and, he took exception to references to {private levees -- should be referenced as "non- project" levees. He stated why such leve,:s are important for much more than water supply exports. The Delta corridor propo:aal - -a through -Delta conveyance alternative -- should be an early implementation project. Early action plans must be implemented ahead of the finalization of the "Delta Plan." New groundwater storage facilities and the restoration of some Central Talley flood overflow lands must be part of the equation. In response to a question from Assemblyman Tom Berryhill (R- Modesto), Mr. Zuckerman said that if the state could identify the fresh water, instream flow needs that are required for a healthy Delta, then conveyance improvements could be designed and sized that would only export water that would be surplus to those needs. Barbara Barrigan- Parrilla testified on behalf of Restore the Delta. She urged the Legislature to :ake its time and not rush through a package in the next four weeks. She is concerned that the Legislature will not provide proper oversight of the Delta Stewardship Council. She says the Council is not a transparent process - -it would allow four people (a quorum) to develop a plan, including a financing plan, to restore the Delta. Their pr mary concern is that the package needs to ensure that freshwater needs for the Delta are adopted and that must come before ecosystem restoration plan is developed. Agricultural Ccrnmunity Perspective Brent Walthall on behalf of Kern County WA said that the agency does not believe it is necessary to enact legislation this year, but it would be wise to pursue at this time based on the f iterest of stakeholders, legislators and the governor. The current crisis in the Delta focul;es all interest groups. The conservancy bill authored by Senator Lois Wolk (D- Davisi is generally in good shape based on breadth of membership on governing boa A. A water resources bond is needed for Delta and other statewide water resources programs; e.g., recycling, water use efficiency. Issues that need to be addressed in the draft legislation include: need more near term actions implemented; focus needs to be on the Delta and not extend to the upper reaches of the Sacramento and San Joaquin River watersheds - -this is one reason CALFED ultimately failed. Danny Merkley on behalf of the California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF) said his organization looks forward to working with legislature —that problems could be addressed without adding a new governance entity with broad new authority. CFBF only supports moving forward with the addition /inclusion of new surface storage projects and -3- state funding for other water facilities; e.g., recycling and groundwater investments. He did not believe that legislation to address water conservation, groundwater level monitoring anc sweeping changes to water rights administration should be included in the package. Thad Bettner represented Northern California Water Association, stating that the process feels that it is being rushed. NCWA would prefer to wait until next year to get the legislative ;package "right." In response to a question from Senator Pavley regarding near -term actions, KCWA cited the Two-Gates Project and actions in response to the biological opinions; e.g., delta smelt entrainment index to reduce take at the pumps (Old River Flows). NCWA said that regulatory and legal hurdles for water transfers should be eased. Also, the state must ensure that existing water bond funds are released ASAP and, ensure that progress on in:erim actions is not held up by provisions of the legislative package; i.e., Delta Stewardship Council. Environmental and Fishery Perspective Zeke Grader m as first up, representing the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Association. H e stated that the status quo is not acceptable given the continued decline of salmon pop ulations and the recent closure of ocean fishery for the first time in 140 years. He admonished the legislators that they should not make things worse in a rush to adopt solutions. Central Valley salmon run is the second most important on the west coast, behind the Columbia River system, he said. The assumption that water and fish can be co -equ el goals cannot be assured absent information regarding Delta instream flow requireme nl:s and water quality objectives being established. Kim Delfino wi:h Defenders of Wildlife followed Mr. Grader. She said that the package of bills provides a framework and urged legislators to move as quickly as possible. Populations of land species as well as aquatic species are crashing. She was pleased to find the Delta Stewardship Council, Delta water master, user fees and the Delta conservancy provisions in the package. She outlined significant issues, however, First, the independe it science board should have a program specified in statute. Her group is concerned tha: the co -equal goals create a regulatory conflict between the DSC and federal and state: regulatory agencies; e.g., endangered species act. The Delta water master also should have authority to mandate sufficient water flows below dams for fisheries. She would prefer that the Department of Fish and Game certify the BDCP EIR and not the Dcl;C. The legislation should provide more guidance regarding how the Delta conservancy planning fits in with the DSC Delta Plan. Barry Nelson with NRDC closed the environmental perspective panel. The preprint legislation represents a comprehensive starting point, he said. There must be one -4- agency respor sible for developing a comprehensive plan that has broad authority to implement a Delta plan. The legislation needs to ensure that actions needed to implement the co -equal goals do not lead to litigation; e.g., that reliable water supply does riot mean increasing water diversions from the Delta. The scope of DSC authority should be clarified that it extends to transportation, flood control /levees, and other areas of the Delta, but make sure this is planning authority only and not duplicative of authority of existing regulatory agencies. BDCP should be integrated into a Delta Plan that has quantifiable gc als. It is essential to establish a conservancy that focuses on ecosystem restoration. The package should include a comprehensive system of beneficiary pays- - user fetes. All 3e:ctors must contribute to water conservation; he argued that the state should maximize water conservation and pursue other supply options as necessary. Urban Comml nitv Persoective Roger Patterson testified on behalf of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, saying that the package provides a sufficient framework to move forward, but there are a lot of details that cause concern. The Natural Community Conservation Plan (NCCP) as now being pursued by BDCP will launch us in a path that will lead us toward achieving the ;o -equal goals. Federal and state funding will be required, along with the financial participation by water users. Randy Kanoue;e spoke on behalf of East Bay Municipal Utility District, telling legislators that the distric: has witnessed appointed officials who do not share the values or vision of the legislate rs that created the body. The package should provide greater guidance to the DSC to sp -311 out the overarching vision, to set forth the manner in which the DSC will carry out its duties. He said that levee maintenance needs more attention, and there should be recognition that levees need to be protected into the future. He encouraged the legislators to take the time to take this bill package to every county and region in the state to allow public comment on it. Next Steps The water committees will hold additional joint hearings next week on Tuesday, August 25 and Thurscay, August 27. The three Delta bills will be the subject of one hearing and the Pavley water rights /groundwater level monitoring and Feuer water conservation bills will be the subject of the other hearing. Conferees have not been announced. It is well -known that Senator Steinberg has been struggling with naming the second Democratic member to the conference committee other than Serialor Pavley, who chairs the Senate water committee. He reportedly sought agreement from Assembly Speaker Karen Bass (D -Los Angeles) to increase the size of the conference committee from six members to 10 members so that both Senators Joe 3irnitian (D -Palo Alto) and Lois Wolk could be appointed. Without a larger -5- conference committee, Steinberg was rumored to be considering appointing himself to avoid the jostling within his own caucus. Yesterday, word on the street was heard that Speaker Bass, who initially was reported to be resisting a larger conference committee, might relent to the Steinberg request. In any event, a conference committee may be appointed next week. There are also reports that the Schwarzenegger Administration is talking with Steinberg regarding the package of legislation. SB 261 (Dutton and Ducheny) was heard in the Assembly Appropriations Committee on Wednesday, August 19 and referred to the committee's Suspense File due to the estimated sign fic:ant state costs, in excess of $2 million, that would be required to implement the legislation. It is unlikely that the bill will move off of the Suspense File due to the fact that A13 49 (Feuer and Huffman) has been referred to the 2 -house conference committee, but the SB 261 authors and supporters are holding out hope that it might be a legitimate veiic:le should the conference committee fail to act. SB 261 has not been amended to ac dress any of the concerns of opponents, which include urban water suppliers and environmental interest groups.

COLUMN COORDINATOR 6� d pr VaredFi s BY CLIFFORD BOWEN AND GARY STURaIVAR Th (:,, Great S- 0Uth a Owito m P 4 he Golden Guardian is a statewide annual exercise designed to evaluate Cali - ".F;� fornia's emergency response capabilities. The 2008 Full Scale Golden Guardian Exer- cise (GG08) took place Nov. 13 -14, 2008, and involved a sce- nario that centered on a magni- tude 7.8 earthquake that shook a 270 -km line along the southern San Andreas Fault. GG08 was designed to evaluate the State of California Emergency Plan. It was a no -fault exercise, meaning that personnel were not evaluated based on their actions, but instead on the effectiveness of the plan to support their response to the earthquake incident. More than 5.5 million people participated in this exercise. There was involvement by 23 state agen- cies, seven counties or operational areas, several cities, schools, hospi- Bowen Sturdivan tals, private utilities representing power and communications, and public and private water utilities. Several federal agencies also par- ticipated, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the US Environmental Protection Agency, and the mili- tary. Individuals and families also participated through the US Geo- logical Survey (USGS) website, www.ShakeOut.org. This is now an ongoing website for annual earthquake drills that will occur every October. After the initial federal and state planning meeting in Febru- ary 2008, the California Depart- ment of Public Health (CDPH), Division of Drinking Water and Environmental Management (DDWEM) made a special effort to involve as many public water systems as possible to participate in the exercise. The East Valley 2009 0 American Water Works Association t \! J i JOURNAL AWWA I AUGUST 2009 41 Stu W' I'titov' FM security ans� Vi' ep- redn —iss r 'Water District (EVWD) in San Bernardino County, Calif., hosted an initial planning meeting involv- ing water utilities from Southern California and those; in the heart of the proposed affected area. Sev- eral water utilities from both Southern and Northern California attended this meeting, as well as USGS, state and local officials, and the California Water/Waste- water Agency Response Network (CalWARN). This meeting gave water and wastewater utilities in Southern California the opportu- nity to learn about the exercise, how the scenario would affect their utility, and how to partici- pate during the planned exercise. EVWD management was con- cerned with the overall enormity of having a 7.8- magnitude earth- quake on the southern section of the San Andreas Fault, because 42 AUGUST 2009 1 JOURNAL AWWA the fault runs directly through the EVWD's 30 -sq -mi service area. The fault dissects the EVWD ser- vice area from the northeastern border to the northwestern bor- der. Most of the agency's water wells are in the lower Santa Ana River bed and pump north to the agency's water reservoirs in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Most of the EVWD main lines cross the San Andreas Fault to reach the potable water reservoirs located on the north side of the fault. USGS estimated that the earthquake would cause catastrophic damage to all water and wastewater agencies within 10 mi of the center of the fault. This event would severely affect most of the EVWD potable and wastewa- ter systems, along with most water and wastewater systems from the Salton Sea in eastern Riverside County to Lake Hughes in Los Angles County, 200 mi away. GG08 was designed to evalu- ate the state emergency plans, which included the DDWEM 2009 © American Water Works Association Emergency Response Plan, Environmental Manage- ment Branch Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan, and the DDWEM Continuity of Operations Plan /Continuity of Gov- ernment Operations Plan. Another purpose of this exercise was to measure and validate performance of spe- cific capabilities and critical tasks selected from the US Department of Homeland Security Target Capabilities List and the Universal Task List, respectively. Objectives that focused on evaluating emergency response proce- dures, identifying areas for improvement, and achiev- ing a collaborative response were developed to test DDWEM emergency operations center (EOC) management, public health laboratory testing, communica- tions, critical resource logistics and distribution, emergency public information warning, and restora- tion of lifelines and environmen- tal health capabilities. These are priority capabilities identified in California's Multiyear Training and Exercise Plan. GG08 PARAMETERS PROVIDED Each water utility was in charge of coming up with a capabilities list to test its emergency operations plan. Some guidelines and overall objectives provided to the utilities included the following: • Communications plans would be exercised with each operational area, other water utilities, DDWEM, and CaIWARN. • Agencies would request mutual aid from out of state. • Utilities would use a water coordinator and use water coordi- nators at the operational area for 1'0010, 4,100 mutual aid and coordination of water and wastewater requests. • Agencies would have no elec- tricity, cellular or landline phones, or Internet service. • No emergency medical aid would be provided for employees. o Agencies would need security for water systems. • Utilities would feed workers and mutual -aid workers. • Utilities would coordinate with fire departments for firefight- ing water. • There would be cross con- tamination of the water supply by public sewer systems. As part of the public health laboratory objectives, DDWEM coordinated with EVWD to insert simulated requests for sampling and laboratory resources and information into the exercise. EVWD made these requests each day. EXERCISE RESULTS IDENTIFY STRENGTHS The exercise went well, and sev- eral major strengths were identified: • Water utilities that had HAM radios and /or simple two -way radios could communicate with one another very well. • Water coordinators at the operational area worked very well. Water coordinators at the regional operation center worked well with Riverside and San Ber- nardino counties' operation of emergency services. • Coordination worked well among CaIWARN and its WARN counterparts in Nevada and Arizona. • Water issues were handled smoothly between tae utilities and operational areas. • Water utility and agency employee participation was positive. • DDWEM was able to estab- hsh and staff its div;sion opera- tions center under the incident command system structure. • DDWEM was able to con- duct multidistrict coordination conference calls and communicate with field offices to respond to this disaster. • DDWEM staff members were successful in integrating into the local operational area and southern regional EOCs as agency representatives. FOCUS AREAS IDENTIFIED FOR DEVELOPING OR REVISING EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANS The following are areas that water utilities should consider in developing or revising their emer- gency response plans: • Establish access to the Cali- fornia Emergency Management Agency's Resource Information Management System (RIMS) in order to track and make sure that requests for sampling and laboratory resources make it up the line to the State Operations Center. EVWD requests never made it up to the state. • Recognize the volume of water and wastewater mains that could fail. These failures will lead to numerous water mains contam- inated with raw sewage from bro- ken water mains. This will also lead to environmental contamina- tion of streets and waterways from raw sewage spills. • Identify the quantity and type of portable generators that would be needed. • Determine what communi- cation systems are needed. There are no common communication links between water utilities and other emergency responders. Establish these links before an emergency occurs. • Determine the quantity of bottled water that would be needed. 2009 0 American Water Works Association security • Determine how to get boil - water notices out to the public when communications are down. • Establish better communica- tions with CDPH -DDWEM in regard to laboratories and unsafe water notices. • Identify water treatment chemicals that would be needed. • Establish staging areas for the public to receive bottled water and establish communications/ coordination /combining with other staging areas. • Plan for communication with fire personnel about water for fire- fighting. Fire personnel assume they will have all the water they need for fighting fires, but when the lines go dry, they will need to coordinate with the local water utility. Prioritize distribution of water and wastewater repair parts coming into California (who gets what parts or supplies first). • Recognize the need for local jurisdictional mutual aid networks and coordination between water and wastewater utilities at the operational level. These areas are being addressed by a water task force comprising water utilities from CaIWARN, California Utilities Emergency Association, state agencies (includ- ing CalEMA and DDWEM) and other agencies that have a role in the response. — Clifford Bowen is senior homeland security engineer for the California Department of Public Health.
