President Lopez indicated that if members of the board have any items they wished
discussed at the joint agency board meeting, to please share them with him.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
9. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON THE
FOLLOWING AGENDA ITEMS:
a) REPORT ON THE FINDINGS OF THE 2012 CUSTOMER AWARENESS
AND OPINION SURVEY
Communications Officer Armando Buelna indicated that an objective within the
District’s Strategic Business Plan is the conducting of customer opinion surveys so
the District may gain a better understanding of customer attitudes, awareness and
opinions, specifically, as they are related to the District’s programs and services.
He stated the ultimate goal of the surveys is to improve customer service. In March
2012 the board was presented the draft questionnaires for the General Customer
Satisfaction and Opinion and the Call Center Surveys. At that meeting, the board
directed staff to reduce the margin of error for the General Customer Satisfaction
and Opinion Survey from +/- 5.7% to +/-4.5%. He noted, in order to reduce the
margin of error to +/-4.5%, the number of respondents to the General Customer
Satisfaction and Opinion Survey was increased from 300 (number of respondents to
the 2011 survey) to 480 in this year’s survey.
He stated that the Call Center Survey differs from the General Customer
Satisfaction and Opinion Survey in that respondents were from a list of customers
who have had contact with the District’s call center within the past six (6) months.
The margin of error for this survey is +/-5.4%. He indicated that the General
Customer Satisfaction and Opinion Survey was conducted from March 14 to 23 and
the Call Center Survey was conducted from late March through early April by Rea &
5
Parker Research. He stated that Drs. Rea and Parker would present the findings of
both surveys.
Dr. Parker presented the findings of the General Customer Satisfaction and Opinion
Survey and indicated that his presentation will include graphs and charts which
represent the statistics from the surveys. He stated the basic finding of the survey
is that there is, and always has been, a high level of satisfaction with the Otay WD
and it is even better in 2012. He stated that 92% of the respondents are very
confident or somewhat confident that there will be enough water and this has been
holding steady for many years now. Dr. Parker reviewed the findings in detail
(reference attached copies of presentation and Attachment A to staffs’ reports which
provides notes from the District’s Finance, Administration and Communications
Committee’s discussion regarding the findings of the survey).
Director Gonzalez inquired if the District could develop a mobile application for
customers to pay their water bill. Communications Officer Buelna indicated that
staff is working with the District’s billing vendor, InfoSend, to try and develop an
‘App.’ It is possible, however, it is still new technology. InfoSend is looking into
developing the ‘App’.
b) REPORT ON THE FINDINGS OF THE 2012 CUSTOMER AWARENESS
AND OPINION SURVEY
Dr. Louis Rea presented the findings of the Call Center Customer Satisfaction
Survey. He noted the differences in the characteristics of the respondents to the
call center survey versus the general customer survey. He indicated the
respondents were more Hispanic, had a lower median income and were a little
younger in age than the respondents to the General Customer Survey. He stated
that the percentage of customers who place a call to the Call Center is declining
and the main purpose customers contact the call center is for billing issues as
opposed to repair issues as was the main reason in the last survey. He noted that
the average number of calls customers must make to achieve a resolution to their
issue has been declining since 2006. Dr. Rea reviewed the findings in detail
(reference attached copies of presentation and Attachment A to staffs’ reports which
provides notes from the District’s Finance, Administration and Communications
Committee’s discussion regarding the findings of the survey).
Director Robak inquired how the respondents’ characteristics compare to the
District’s service area demographics. Dr. Parker indicated that, in theory, the
random selection of respondents should represent the demographics of the
District’s service area. He noted that, however, there is likely differences as
respondents are screened, in that, they must be a customer of the District for at
least one (1) year, must have a telephone number in the system so they may be
contacted by phone, must be at least 18 years of age and the survey excludes
renters who do not receive a water bill from the District directly (they are billed
through their HOA’s).
6
Director Robak also inquired about respondents’ opinion/confidence in automated
meters. Dr. Parker indicated that the survey did not include questions concerning
customers opinions regarding automated meters. General Manager Watton noted
that there were a couple of customers who opposed the automated meters as they
felt the radio frequency associated with reading the meter impacted their health. It
was discussed that over 99% of the District’s customers have been converted to the
automated read meters. There is approximately 200 meters of 49,000 that still need
to be replaced.
General Counsel Dan Shinoff left at 4:41 p.m. and the District’s Attorney, Richard
Romero, sat in for Mr. Shinoff.
President Lopez indicated that continuing the customer surveys are very important
to the District and he commended Drs. Rea and Parker for their good work on the
surveys.
c) INFORMATIONAL FOLLOW-UP REPORT TO FISCAL YEAR 2013
BUDGET WORKSHOP
Chief Financial Officer Beachem indicated that this item is being presented as a
follow-up to the board’s request for additional information at the Board Budget
Workshop held on May 15, 2012. He presented information responding to the
board’s requests (reference Attachment A to staffs’ report which provides notes
from the District’s Finance, Administration and Communications Committee’s
discussion regarding this item).
Directors Robak and Gonzalez thanked staff for providing the additional information.
Director Gonzalez indicated that the information shows that the District is working to
benefit its constituents and is trying to find ways to improve services.
President Lopez commended staff and thanked them for following up on the board’s
requests.
REPORTS
10. GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT
SAN DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY (CWA) UPDATE
General Manager Watton indicated with regard to the Poseiden Desalination Project
that it is projected that an acre foot of water will cost approximately $2,300+. CWA
is currently reviewing the project and Otay staff has been asked to provide feedback
on CWA’s assumptions concerning the project. He indicated that staff would be
providing an update on the Poseiden project for the board in the next meeting or
two. He noted that CWA’s rate increase has been published at 7%, but it likely will
be 10% to 11%. He also shared that CWA discussions have included the lawsuit
with Metropolitan Water District (MWD) and the IID matters. CWA has continued to
7
prevail in court on procedural issues with MWD. MWD is still trying to attribute the
IID transfer for some of the water cost. He indicated that, however, the IID water
transfer has nothing to do with CWA’s lawsuit. CWA’s lawsuit is with regard to how
MWD’s rates are structured. MWD’s rate structure is not configured properly Under
Propositions 26 and 218. He indicated that if members of the board hear comments
about the lawsuits or have questions, to please feel free to call either Director
Croucher or himself.
General Manager Watton also highlighted information from his report that included
an update on the District’s sewer treatment plant, Water-Smart Plants Program, the
employee recognition luncheon, that District forms are being made available on-line,
that Chief of Information Technology Geoff Stevens and GIS Manager Ming Zhou
will be presenting at the ESRI conference later this month, the transitioning of meter
reading staff members to the Operations Department, and an update on water
purchases and sales.
He indicated if members of the board have an interest in touring the District’s newly
upgraded treatment plant, to please let him know and staff will schedule a tour. He
also indicated that the District received a letter from the California Department of
Public Health wherein they commended the District’s staff for their “continued
diligence and conscientiousness placed in generating quality data from the
laboratory.” He stated that the District does not get such comments from the
regulatory agencies very often and when they are received, he liked to share them
with the board.
11. DIRECTORS' REPORTS/REQUESTS
Director Robak indicated that he had read an article that SANDAG had purchased a
large property in Jamul for $18 million (SANDAG paid $10 million and Homeland
Security provided $8 million). He stated that the land is not developable and felt
that the public did not receive a good investment.
Director Gonzalez indicated that he had attended a Hispanic Chamber event and a
Latino Community Breakfast. He also shared that he completed the installation of a
water conserving landscape at his residence which included the removal of grass
from his front and back yards.
12. PRESIDENT’S REPORT
President Lopez reported on meetings he attended during the month of June 2012
(a list of meetings he attended is attached). He shared that the Water Conservation
Garden will be presenting a film, “Watershed,” in their amphitheatre on Saturday,
July 28, at 8:15 p.m. He stated that Robert Redford is the executive producer of the
film and he encouraged the board and staff to attend. He indicated that the Water
Conservation Garden is also hosting other concerts and that a list is available on
their website. He indicated that it is hoped that the Garden would become self-
sufficient and that he was pleased with the new personnel hired by the Garden.
8
He also shared that he attended a couple of CSDA sponsored webinars (“What
every Public Agency Should Know about Prevailing Wage” and “Proposition 218,
Proposition 26 and Rate Setting”). He stated they were very informative and it was
very worthwhile to take some of these seminars.
13. ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Board, President Lopez adjourned the
meeting at 5:18 p.m.

SUBJECT: Adopt Ordinance No. 534 Amending the District’s Code of
Ordinances Section 28, Connection Fees and Charges for
Potable or Reclaimed Water Service; Appendix A, Schedule of
Fees and Charges, Section 28.02; and Section 27, Requirements
and Limitations for Obtaining Water Service, Effective
September 1, 2012
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt Ordinance No. 534 to amend the District’s Code
of Ordinances Section 28, Connection Fees and Charges for Potable or
Reclaimed Water Service; Appendix A, Schedule of Fees and Charges,
Section 28.02; and Section 27, Requirements and Limitations for
Obtaining Water Service, effective September 1, 2012.
PURPOSE:
To present to the Board revisions to the District’s Code of
Ordinances Section 28, Connection Fees and Charges for Potable or
Reclaimed Water Service; Appendix A, Section 28.02, Installation
Charges for Water Meter and Water Service Laterals, to update the
District’s meter fees and installation charges due to changes in
material and labor costs; and to update Section 27, Requirements and
Limitations for Obtaining Water Service.
AGENDA ITEM 6a
2
ANALYSIS:
Background
Water meter fees and installation charges have not been updated since
January 2002, when the automated meter reading (AMR) program was
implemented. At this time, an AMR fee of $147 was created to cover
the higher cost of the AMR meters. Currently, about 48,200 of the
approximately 48,500 District customer accounts have AMR water
meters. These numbers reflect meters that were either replaced over
the past ten years with an AMR meter or installed as a new AMR meter.
Having a separate AMR fee is no longer necessary since all new meters
sold are AMR.
By the end of Fiscal Year 2013, it is anticipated that all of the
District’s water meters will be AMR with some exceptions, such as
temporary and fire service meters.
Since January 2002, meter technology regulations such as no-lead
meters and installation methods have changed, making this an
appropriate time to reexamine the method and cost involved with
purchasing and installing meters.
In addition, staff evaluated Section 27, “Requirements for Obtaining
Water Service,” and is proposing changes. It is proposed to add
Section 27.02G Phased Projects. This change will provide a developer
option to phase the delivery of water meters based on the project
implementation to build-out. It is also proposed to revise Section
27.03 “Manufacturers Recommended Maximum Flow Rate for District
Meters.” This change reflects advancements in equipment implemented
by the District to capture volumes through the meters at both the
high and low end of the meter spectrum.
Proposed Fees and Installation Charges
Historic meter costs, including additional parts, were based on the
technology of the day and meters were priced by size only. Since
many things have changed over the years, a review and update of these
meters and fees was necessary.
The proposed meter fees are based on the actual purchase costs of the
meters and the ancillary parts needed to install these meters. The
meters and materials are based on size and service type which is
categorized as Potable Non-Irrigation, Potable/Recycled Irrigation,
and Combined Fire and Domestic.
3
The proposed installation charges are based on the District’s
standard labor rates (including fringe and overhead charges) for the
salaries of Meter Maintenance Workers or Utility Crew as of July 1,
2012. The weight and configuration of current meters from ¾” up to
2” require the same amount of time to install, based on the Meter
Shop’s most recent experience. Therefore, the proposed installation
charge of $96 will be the same for ¾” to 2” meters. Meters that are
3” to 4” require an installation fee of $578, based on two hours of
labor for two Meter Maintenance Workers. The installation for a 6”
meter is $913, based on two hours of labor for three Meter
Maintenance Workers. Lastly, the 8” and 10” meter installation fee
of $1,400 is based on a Utility Crew’s average cost to install these
meters.
The following table shows the existing and proposed installation fees
and the elimination of the AMR fees:
Current Installation Fees
Meter Size Install Fee AMR Fee Total Proposed Fee Change
3/4" $ 60.00 $ 147.00 $ 207.00 $ 96.00 $ (111.00)
1" 60.00 147.00 207.00 96.00 (111.00)
1.5" 103.00 147.00 250.00 96.00 (154.00)
2" 240.00 147.00 387.00 96.00 (291.00)
3" 300.00 147.00 447.00 578.00 131.00
4" 300.00 147.00 447.00 578.00 131.00
6" 300.00 147.00 447.00 913.00 466.00
8" 300.00 147.00 447.00 1,400.00 953.00
10" 300.00 147.00 447.00 1,400.00 953.00
All fees within the Code of Ordinances are listed in Appendix A.
Proposed meter fees and installation charges are listed in Exhibit IV
of the Attachments, which reflects the pending changes to Appendix A.
Additionally, similar to Capacity and Annexation Fees, the
recommendation is to increase meter fees on a quarterly basis, using
the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index for the Los
Angeles Region, to ensure fees keep up with current costs. The
benefit of increasing the fees on a quarterly basis, tied to this
index, is that they will maintain a more up-to-date full cost
recovery in the interim periods between another fee review, which
should be conducted at least every five years to keep up with changes
in meter and installation costs and technologies.

FISCAL IMPACT: Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
Based on projected potable and recycled water meter sales, the fiscal
impact for Fiscal Year 2013 is an increase in meter fee revenues of
approximately $16,700.
There is no fiscal impact for Section 27.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
To ensure that the costs of service are kept current, this revenue
source will help the District meet its fiscal responsibility to its
ratepayers.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT/PROJECT:
Adopt Ordinance No. 534 Amending the District’s Code of
Ordinances Section 28, Connection Fees and Charges for
Potable or Reclaimed Water Service; Appendix A, Schedule of
Fees and Charges, Section 28.02; and Section 27,
Requirements and Limitations for Obtaining Water Service,
Effective September 1, 2012
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources and the
Finance, Administration and Communications Committees reviewed
this item at meetings held on July 17 and 19, respectively, and
the following comments were made:
Staff requested that the Board adopt Ordinance No. 534
amending the District’s Code of Ordinances Section 28,
Connection Fees and Charges for Potable or Reclaimed Water
Service; Appendix A, Schedule of Fees and Charges, Section
28.02; and Section 27, Requirements and Limitations for
obtaining Water Services effective September 1, 2012.
Staff is proposing to update the District’s meter and
installation fees. It was indicated that water meter fees
and installation charges have not been updated since the
implementation of the District’s automated meter reading
(AMR) program in January 2002. As the AMR project will be
completed this fiscal year it was felt that it was a good
time to update the fees.
In discussion with meter shop staff, the cost to install
meters has changed quite a bit. A few of the new meters
are much lighter in weight now and require only one (1)
staff person to install instead of two (2). Staff also
found that meter costs have changed and felt a review and
update of these fees are necessary. The historic meter
costs, including additional parts, were based on the
technology of the day and many things have changed. There
is also a new requirement that new installed meters be lead
free. The new proposed meter fees are based on the actual
purchase cost of meters.
Staff noted that all fees within the Code of Ordinances are
listed in Appendix A. Proposed meter fees and installation
charges are listed in Exhibit IV.
Staff recommended that the meter fees be adjusted on a
quarterly basis using the Engineering News Record (ENR)
Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles Region, similar
to capacity and annexation fees, to ensure fees keep up
with current costs. In response to an inquiry by the
Committee, staff indicated that the District refers to the
ENR because it is reliable and tracks labor and
construction costs.
A change to Section 27, “Requirements for Obtaining Water
Service,” was proposed to add subsection G to section
27.02, entitled “Phased Projects,” that would provide an
option for developers to phase in the delivery of water
meters to their projects. The Engineering Operations and
Water Resources Committee suggested that staff modify the
language in the new proposed subsection to delete reference
to “multi-family” allowing all projects to utilize this
option. It was indicated that the District received
feedback from developers requesting to buy meters one at a
time as they receive funds.
Staff also recommended changes to Section 27.03 entitled
“Manufactures Recommended Maximum Flow Rate for District
Meters” as follows:
o Update the recommended maximum rate of flow for
meters 3-inch and larger
o Delete compound meters as the District no longer
installs these types of meters due to advancement in
meter technology
In response to a question by the committee, staff stated
that the District utilizes one supplier for small meters
(3/4” and 1”), Master Meter, as the District receives a
very good price on the meters through its contract for the
Automatic Meter Reading program. Large meters are sourced
from several suppliers depending on the application.
The committee noted that staff had updated any references
to “Reclaimed” to “Recycled” in the proposed changes and
inquired if the change would be reflected throughout the
District’s Code of Ordinances or if the change would be
presented as each Section is presented with proposed

SECTION 28 CONNECTION FEES AND CHARGES FOR POTABLE OR RECLAIMED
RECYCLED WATER SERVICE
28.01 COLLECTION OF FEES AND CHARGES
A. Fees and Charges to be paid by the Customer.
The following fees and charges shall be paid by the customer to connect to a District water system for potable
water or reclaimed recycled water service; these are in
addition to the fees and charges in Section 9 and 25. Fees and charges shall include, but not be limited to, District
fees, San Diego County Water Authority fees, applicable
zone charge and charges for work performed by District personnel on behalf of the customer. These charges may include the installation by District personnel of a water
service lateral, and inspections required due to the
requirement of a back flow device. These charges may also include a meter fee, installation fee (where laterals
exist), lateral fee, meter box fee, and excavation permit
fee. B. Basis for Determination of Connection Fees and Charges.
The fees and charges shall be determined as follows: For permanent water meters, including potable or
recycled irrigation service, the total water
connection fee shall be determined on the basis of the demand to be placed on the District water system. The
extent of demand will be determined on the basis of
the size of the water meter, as set forth in Section 27 of the Code. For fire service, as outlined in Section 38.03 of the Code, the size and fee would be
set based on water use requirements without additional
fire capacity. The water connection fee will be determined by multiplying the demand factor for the
meter size, as set forth below, by the total of the
District-wide capacity fee and applicable zone charge.

charges after July 1, 2010, the base rate shall be
adjusted quarterly for fluctuations in construction
costs, as measured by the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index for the Los Angeles Region.
The ENR Construction Cost Index of 9777.19(as of July
1, 2009) shall be deemed the "base index." The
adjustment shall be in an amount equal to the percent-
age change in the ENR Construction Cost Index from the
base index for the period from June 10, 2009 to the
date of payment. (See Appendix A, 28.01 B.1. for
fees.)
2. The District-wide new water supply fee shall
constitute the “base rate.” For fees or charges after

to the date of payment. (See Appendix A, 28.01 B.2.
for fees.)
28.02 INSTALLATION CHARGES FOR WATER METER AND WATER SERVICE LATERALS
The determination of the water meter or service lateral size shall be based upon the information provided by the
customer as detailed in Section 27 of the Code. The meter fees
and installation charges are set forth in Appendix A, 28.02. Where a water meter larger than 2-inch or a new water
lateral is required, a customized, written estimate of the
District's costs will be prepared. The customer shall deposit the estimated costs with the
District prior to commencement of the work. If actual costs
incurred by the District are less than the amount deposited, the District shall refund the excess to the customer. If the actual
costs incurred exceed the amount deposited, the customer shall
reimburse the District for the additional costs.

ANALYSIS:
At the July 15, 2011 Board Meeting the Board awarded a construction
contract to NEWest Construction for the RWCWRF Upgrades Project. The
RWCWRF Upgrades Project consists of several main components. The
first is the modification of the treatment process at the facility to
improve the reduction of total nitrogen in the treatment plant
effluent. The second component is the upgrade of the facility’s
blowers and aeration piping. The third component is the enhancement
of the level of automation at the facility. The fourth and final
component of the Project is the replacement of the damaged filter
backwash storage reservoir floating cover at the facility.
At the March 7, 2012 Board Meeting, the Board approved Change Order
No. 1 (Exhibit B) to the contract for a net increase of $17,896.
Change Order No. 2 (Exhibit C) includes a variety of items including
relocation of the heat exchangers, repairing the leaks on the
existing air piping, and credits for unused allowances. Staff and
the District’s construction manager, SAIC, reviewed, negotiated, and
agreed to the costs included in this Change Order pending Board
approval.
The following is a table summarizing the value of each item. The
“General Location” (Exhibit A) column depicts the general location

NEWest is approximately 95% complete with the Project. There are
punch list items, clean up, and programming left to complete, but
NEWest’s contract is expected to be substantially complete in late
July. This change order will reconcile the contract with NEWest and
will be the closeout change order for the Project. The treatment
plant is on line with staff adjusting the processes to operate the
plant as designed.

Change Order No. 2 to the Contract with NEWest
Construction, Inc. for the Ralph W. Chapman Water
Reclamation Facility Upgrades Project
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering, Operations, and Water Resources reviewed this item at
a meeting held on July 17, 2012 and the following comments were made:
Staff requested that the Board approve Change Order No. 2 to the
existing contract with NEWest Construction, Inc. (NEWest) for the
Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility (RWCWRF) Upgrade
Project, in an amount not-to-exceed $87.
Staff stated that at the July 15, 2011 Board meeting, the Board
awarded a contract to NEWest in the amount of $3,499,000 for the
Upgrade Project that consisted of several components to upgrade
and increase efficiency of the treatment processes at the plant.
Staff noted the Project’s four (4) main components which are
provided on page 2 of the staff report and indicated that the
treatment plant is currently on line with staff adjusting the
processes to operate the plant as designed.
It was noted that Change Order No. 1 was approved at the March 7,
2012 Board meeting for a net increase of $17,896.
Staff indicated that Change Order No. 2 consists of ten (10)
items including relocation of heat exchangers for the blower
room, repairing leaks on the existing air piping, and credits for
unused allowances. The table on page 2 of the staff report
summarizes the items and Exhibit A indicates each of the items’
general location.
It was noted that in total, Change Order No. 2 represents a net
$87 increase to NEWest’s contract. Staff noted that this change
order will reconcile the contract and be the closeout change
order for the Project.
The Committee commended staff and stated that it was very
impressive that the large project had only two (2) change orders
and came in on budget.
In response to the Committee’s inquiry regarding Item 4 in Change
Order No. 2, Cable Substitution, staff indicated that the
Project’s original contract specified for the use of a belden
cable which is a proprietary communications cable that meets high
signal tolerances over long distances, but is costly. Staff
indicated that a cable substitution was included in the change
order to switch from belden cables to the use of lake cables that
cost less and would satisfy the needs of the project.
The Committee inquired about Item 3 in Change Order No. 2, Repair
Leaking Gaskets on Existing Air Piping. Staff indicated that the
District installed an all new underground aeration piping system
as part of the project and when it was tested, staff recognized
that the above ground piping had significant leaks especially in
the gasket and valve areas. It is believed that the leaks were
caused by the pressure created in the new aeration system by the
new blowers. NEWest rectified the problem by replacing joints
that would be able to hold pressure for the new aeration system.
Staff stated that the cost of Item 3 was based on materials and
the number of laborers and hours that it would take to complete
the work.
During the discussion, the Committee asked staff to report on how
the Otay Water District’s incidence of project contract change
orders compares with the industry. Staff agreed to research the
item and report back to the Board. The following is provided in
response to the Committee’s inquiry regarding the industry
standard for change orders:
At the national level articles published in 2002 by the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) titled
“Benchmarking in Construction Industry” and by McGraw-Hill
titled “Mitigation of Risk in Construction: Strategies for
Reducing Risk and Maximizing Profitability” surveyed the
infrastructure industry regarding change orders for
infrastructure projects. In these articles, they
respectively reported an average range of 9 to 11 percent
for change orders on projects.
At the water industry level, the American Water Works
Association (AWWA), Pacific North West Section, presented
information that was more specific towards the projects that
the Otay Water District implements. In May 2008, the AWWA
presented anticipated change order incident rates for the
construction of above ground water facilities such as pump
stations, reservoirs, and treatment plants and below ground
water facilities such as pipelines. The following table
compares the AWWA reported range of change order incidence
in these two categories to the Otay Water District’s change
order incident rate in the same categories over the last
three fiscal years (FY 2010 to FY 2012):

At the local level, staff worked with the local water agencies
to determine their overall incidence of change orders over the
last three fiscal years. The change order incidence reported
by the responding agencies fell in a range of 4 to 5 percent
over this time period. The District’s overall change order
incidence rate, excluding allowances over this same time
period, was 1.7%.
The District’s change order incident rate is well within the
industry standard for all the categories listed above as well
as the local water agencies that were surveyed.
Following the discussion, the EO&WR Committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation to the full board as a consent item.

SUBJECT: Approval to Purchase Replacement Backhoe
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board authorize the General Manager to issue a purchase
order to RDO Equipment Company Inc. in the amount of $102,515.50 for
the purchase of one (1) John Deere Backhoe.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment “A”.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board authorization to purchase a John Deere Backhoe.
ANALYSIS:
Included in the approved FY 2013 budget is one (1) new Backhoe. The
Backhoe is a replacement scheduled to be utilized by the Utility
Maintenance Staff.
Currently, the District’s essential equipment includes six (6)
backhoes, the oldest being unit #1565, a model year 1987 680 Case
Backhoe. Due to the age of this machine this unit is to be replaced
with a new APCD emissions compliant machine. Funding for this
purchase has been included in the CIP P2366.
AGENDA ITEM 6c
2
Based on system operation evaluations of work flow by the
Construction/Maintenance supervision and management, it is
recommended that 1 new John Deer model 330 Backhoe be purchased and
the older Case Backhoe be declared surplus.
It should be noted that the existing backhoe is 25 years old. This
replacement will noticeably reduce the District’s diesel emissions
output and will be in compliance with APCD regulations. Purchase
price includes the John Deere Backhoe ($81,389.00), an Okada Breaker
($13,753.00) and applicable taxes ($7,373.51) for a total purchase
price of $102,515.51.
In accordance with District policy, bids were solicited for the
backhoe. Three (3) bids were received. Prices received include all
applicable fees and taxes and delivery.
Dealer Bid Bid Price
RDO Equipment Company 2012 John Deere 310SJ $102,515.51
Pape Machinery 2012 John Deere 310SJ $110,676.49
Blaine Equipment Co. 2012 John Deere 310SJ $112,045.99
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
The original projected cost for the purchase of this equipment is
$105,000. The actual cost of the vehicle will be $102,515.51, to be
charged against the APCD Replacement and Retrofits CIP P2366. The
total cost in this equipment will not exceed budgeted funding.
The total FY13 project budget for the CIP P2366 APCD Replacement and
Retrofits is $120,000. Existing expenditures and current encumbrances
for the CIP, including the vehicle purchased under this request if
approved, is $117,515.51. Based on the Utility Service Manager’s
evaluation, the CIP P2366 budget is sufficient to complete the
budgeted purchase.
The Finance Department has determined that 100% of the funds are
available in the replacement fund.
Expenditure Summary:
For FY-13, two items are proposed for purchased under this CIP.
FY13 Equipment Replacement CIP P2366 Budget: $120,000.00
1. Proposed Equipment Purchase: Backhoe $102,515.51

SUBJECT/PROJECT:
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance, Administration and Communications Committee reviewed this
item at a meeting held on May 16, 2012 and the following comments were
made:
The purchase of a backhoe is included in the approved Fiscal Year
2013 budget.
Currently, the District has six (6) backhoes. The requested backhoe
will replace a 25 year old backhoe which will be surplused. An
Okada breaker has been added to the purchase as it was recognized
during a recent water main break, that a breaker was needed onsite
during emergencies should staff need to break additional concrete or
cobble.
Per the District’s policy, bids were solicited and three (3) bids
were received. Staff recommends that RDO Equipment Company be
selected as the lowest responsive bidder.
It was discussed that the breaker would enhance the safety of the
staff as it could be utilized, as opposed to the crews climbing into
trenches, to break concrete, thrust blocks, etc.
It was noted that, each year, APCD implements new regulations and it
is likely that more trucks and equipment will need to be surplused
because they do not meet the new regulations.
The committee inquired if there was a reason that a specific John
Deer backhoe was identified as opposed to opening the bid to
different manufacturers of backhoes. It was indicated that the five
other District backhoes are John Deer and the controls on a Case
backhoe are opposite to the John Deer. Because the District’s
employees are trained and familiar with the John Deer backhoe, the
District preferred to stay with the John Deer brand to keep it
consistent.
In response to an inquiry from the committee, staff indicated that
the vendors solicited to bid were all local to the southwest region.
RDO Equipment Company is the only John Deer dealer in San Diego
County and in the majority of the southwest region. It was noted
that the District did purchase in the recent past a utility truck
from a vendor located in the Midwest.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation to the full board as a consent item.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 4201 of the District’s Code of
Ordinances Amending Policy No. 25, the Reserve Policy, which
Includes Updated Glossary Definitions
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board adopt Resolution No. 4201 of the District’s Code of
Ordinances amending Policy No. 25, the Reserve Policy, which includes
updated glossary definitions.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To present to the Board three revisions of the Reserve Policy.
First, to remove the State Loan Assessment wording in Section 2.2, c.
as the loan has been paid in full. Second, to modify the definition
of Late Charges/Penalties. Lastly, to modify the definition of Water
Rates. The two definitions are in the Reserve Policy Glossary and
are changed to reflect current practices.
BACKGROUND:
In March 2006, the Reserve Policy was updated to reflect industry
best practices, clearly defining the sources and uses of the
District’s funds and establishing the minimums, maximums, and targets
for each of the funds. In May 2010, the Board adopted a new capacity
fee and annexation fee methodology, as well as a new water supply
fee. As a result of these Board approved changes, the new sources
and uses of fees were incorporated into the Reserve Policy.
ANALYSIS:
In October 2010, the District made the final payment on the Sewer
State Loan. Accordingly, the District no longer collects a fee on
AGENDA ITEM 6d
the county tax roll to pay for this debt. Therefore, it is being
proposed that paragraph 2.2.c. “State Loan Assessment (Restricted)”
be removed from the Reserve Policy.
As part of continuous quality assurance review performed by staff,
some necessary changes to the glossary definitions were identified
and are being recommended for Board approval.
In 2008, the Board approved the elimination of charges for contacting
customers and notifying them of past due status. The definition of
“Late Charges/Penalties” in the Glossary was not updated at that time
to reflect this change. The proposed definition has been modified to
delete the phone contact charges and also modified to add other
penalties for infringements. The District charges penalties for
infringements such as broken curb stops, and meter reset fees. This
modification is necessary for completeness of the definition. The
proposed definition of “Late Charges/Penalties” in the Glossary
states that charges and penalties are imposed on customer accounts
for late payments, returned payments, and other infringements of the
District’s Code of Ordinances.
In 2009, the Board approved moving from a flat rate structure for
non-residential customers to a tiered rate structure. In this
structure, water rates are based on meter size and amount of Units
consumed. The glossary’s definition of “Water Rates” for non-
residential customers was not updated at that time to reflect this
change. This update to the Reserve Policy modifies the Glossary
definition to reflect the current inclining block rate structure.
The proposed policy is in alignment with the District’s financial
plan and is an integral part of the annual rate model update which
impacts the District’s rates and fees.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
The District ensures its continued financial health through long-term
financial planning and debt planning.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

which Includes Updated Glossary Definitions
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance, Administration and Communications Committees
reviewed this item at meetings held on July 19, 2012 and the
following comments were made:
Staff indicated that Board of Directors Policy 25, Reserve
Policy, was implemented in 2006 and, at that time, staff
looked at industry practices and created a policy that
established the uses of District funds and the minimums,
maximums and targets for each of the funds.
The policy was updated in May 2010 when the board adopted
new capacity and annexation fee methodologies, and a new
water supply fee. These changes were reflected in the
Reserve Policy at that time.
Staff is proposing additional revisions to the policy as
follows:
o Remove the sewer State loan from the policy as it has
been paid off.
o Update the definition of “Late Charges/Penalties” in
the Reserve Policy glossary to match current practice.
In 2008 the District changed how late and penalty
fees are collected and these changes are being
reflected in the policy.
o Update the definition of “Water Rate” in the glossary
to reflect the current tiered rate structure for all
customer types.
In 2009 the District changed its rate structure so
that all customer types are billed using a tiered
rate structure. The glossary is being updated to
reflect this change.
The committee inquired about the change in the capacity and
annexation fee methodologies. Staff indicated that the
capacity fee and annexation fee methodologies were changed
from the Buy-In Methodology, where the District considers
future customers and future expansion costs, to the
Combined Methodology where all existing assets, all future
assets, all existing customers and all future customers are
considered. This change in methodology required a change
in how the District accounts for the money placed in the
reserve funds. The Reserve Policy was updated in 2009 to
match this change.
The committee suggested that staff strike the last sentence
in the definition of “Water Rates” on page 48 of the
strike-thru copy of the policy which states:
“A unit of water is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons of
water.”
and add “Unit” as a glossary term with the definition as
stated in the sentence. The term “Unit” should then be
capitalized thoughout the policy. Staff indicated that
this was a good suggestion and would make the changes as
suggested.
The committee commended staff on their work on the policy
and felt that it was very thorough and a good governance
document.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staffs’
recommendation and presentation to the full board as a consent
item.

1.0 The District
The Otay Water District is a California municipal water district,
authorized in 1956 by the State Legislature under the provisions
of the Municipal Water District Act of 1911. The District is a
"revenue neutral" public agency; meaning each end user pays their
fair share of the District's costs of water acquisition,
construction of infrastructure, and the operation and maintenance
of the public water facilities.
The District provides water service within its boundaries, and
provides sewer and recycled water service within certain portions
of the District. As such, the District operates three distinct
business segments:
Potable water
Recycled water
Sewer
Each of these business segments has an identifiable customer base.
In addition, the developer community, large and small, makes up a
significant class of customer for each business segment. As a
result, the District has four distinct customer service types:
Developers
Potable water users
Recycled water users
Sewer users
The District has established practices and developed computer
systems that have enabled the District to maintain a clear
separation between the service costs relating to each of its four
customer service types. Regardless of customer class, financial
principles regarding cost allocation and fund accounting are
fundamental to the District’s Reserve Policy. These principles
are derived from the statements of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB), and from oversight and advisory bodies
such as the California State Auditor, the Little Hoover
Commission, and the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA). These have significant impacts on how the finances of

the District are organized and how financial processes work within
the organization.
1.1 The District’s Use of Financial Resources
All of the District’s expenditures fall into two broad categories:
operating costs and capital expenditures. The operating costs
include costs relating to the purchase and delivery of potable and
recycled water, and the transportation and treatment of sewage.
The capital expenditures support the construction of
infrastructure necessary to deliver services. The District uses
various funds to support the operating and capital efforts.
Operations and maintenance is financed only by rates and charges,
also called pay-as-you-go, while capital infrastructure is
financed using two financing methods: pay-as-you-go and debt
issuance (requiring annual debt service). The Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and the two funding methods support the
construction, betterment, and replacement of infrastructure in all
three business areas: potable, recycled, and sewer.
The District establishes different funds to track revenues
allocated to different activities. Once established, each fund
receives financial resources up to the levels defined in this
policy. Every year, as a part of the annual budget process, the
District’s rate model is updated for each fund with the current
fund balances and the estimated revenues and expenditures for the
next six years. The expenditure requirements and financial
resources are then evaluated to ensure that the existing fund
balances and additional revenues are sufficient within the current
budget cycle and for the next five years to maintain target fund
levels. If a deficit is identified, then options for transfers,
shifting CIP projects, debt, cost saving measures, and/or rate
increases are evaluated.
1.2 The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The planning, design, and construction costs of all capital
facilities within the three business segments are allocated to
four cost types and corresponding fund categories: New Water
Supply, Expansion, Replacement, and/or Betterment. The allocation
to these four cost types is defined in the District’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) and is determined by an engineering
analysis that identifies which type of customer will benefit from
each facility, planned or existing. The costs of the capital

improvements are borne by either existing users or by the
developing areas, or by a combination of the two, as applicable.
This Reserve Policy protects both the existing users and the
developing areas from incurring unwarranted costs. Developing
areas are not required to finance facilities that are replacement
or betterment and established areas are not required to replace
facilities before they are worn out because of new development.
However, to ensure a fair allocation of costs, each facility has
the potential to be classified into any or all of the four cost
types. In addition to these cost types there are occasional CIPs
that may be billable to a third party, if for example a third
party requires a District facility be relocated. Paragraphs a
through d below, describe how the costs of capital facilities are
financed through various fees.
a. New Water Supply
The portion of a new supply project that benefits new users
is financed from the reserves in the New Water Supply Fund
category. These reserves are primarily derived from proceeds
of the new water supply fee. The New Water Supply Fund is
restricted, meaning the amounts credited to this fund are
accounted for separately and are used solely for the
planning, design, and construction of the new water supply
expansion facilities. Debt financing may also be a temporary
financial resource to finance new water supply projects. The
District has a Debt Policy (Policy No. 45) that guides the
debt issuance process. Any debt proceeds used for this
purpose would be restricted in nature and tracked separately.
General use reserves may also be placed in the Designated New
Water Supply Fund and used for water supply projects.
b. Expansion
The portion of a CIP project that benefits new users is
financed from the reserves in the Expansion Fund category.
These reserves are primarily derived from proceeds of the
“incremental” portion of the capacity fees collected within
developing areas. Capacity fees are accounted for separately
and used for the planning, design, and construction of
expansion facilities. Additionally, expansion may be
financed by annexation fees or the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee. Both of these fees are restricted for CIP
purposes, but not specifically for expansion. Debt financing
may also be a temporary financial resource for expansion

projects. General use reserves may also be placed in the
Designated Expansion Fund and used for expansion projects.
c. Replacement
The portion of a CIP project that benefits existing users by
replacing an existing facility is financed from the reserves
in the Replacement Fund category. Replacement of facilities
may be financed with proceeds of annexation fees, the “buy-
in” portion of the capacity fees, general use reserves held
in the Designated Replacement Fund and debt proceeds. The
various funding sources available for replacement projects is
anticipated to provide the necessary flexibility to begin
projects while any necessary debt financing is being
obtained.
d. Betterment
Facilities that improve reliability, meet new regulations, or
create increased levels of service are considered betterment
facilities that benefit existing users. The reserves in the
Better Fund category are used to finance these projects or
portions of projects. Certain user rates, charges, and
betterment fees are restricted geographically for betterment
of facilities, but may also be used for general maintenance
of facilities in that area. Proceeds of the annexation fee
and the “buy-in” portion of the capacity fees may also be
used to finance betterment projects. General use reserves
may be placed in the Designated Betterment Fund and used for
betterment projects.
1.21 Relocations
Occasionally, relocation of a District facility is required by a
third party. If the District has a superior easement the
relocation cost will be paid by the third party, but only to the
extent that the District does not benefit from the relocation.
When relocation is required, a CIP project may be created which is
wholly or partially financed by a third party. On occasion, the
District will require that its own facilities be relocated.
Depending on the nature of the facilities, the financial resources
for these projects could be from new water supply, expansion,
replacement, betterment or third party financing. Each project is
individually negotiated with the third party based on the facts
and circumstances of the relocation. Occasionally, the District
will improve the facilities that are being relocated. When
determining how to allocate costs to various funds the following

Adopted
Date

RESERVE POLICY 25 2/10/93 11/3/10

Page 5 of 49
guideline is suggested: if a project has more than five years of
useful life remaining, an incremental cost view should be
considered; if the project has less than five years of useful life
remaining, a pro-rata cost approach should be considered. Also,
the likelihood the District will benefit from an asset’s life
extension should be evaluated prior to allocating costs.
1.22 Oversizing
If deemed reasonable by the District, in connection with the
construction of backbone facilities, a developer may be required
to oversize new facilities for future development. The developer
is reimbursed for incremental oversizing costs as per Policy
No. 26. These reimbursements are not available for the
distribution system within a development which is an obligation
of the developer.
1.23 Exclusion of Developed Areas from Expansion Costs
Developed areas are assumed to have sufficient supply and capacity
to meet their current requirements as provided by the developers.
In addition, they are considered to have borne capital financial
costs that are at least proportionate to the benefits they have
received from capital facilities. Accordingly, no regional
capital financing costs are allocated to these areas so that they
will not incur any costs for newly developing areas, except for
capital projects that produce district-wide benefit or cost
savings.
1.24 Improvement Districts (IDs)
Improvement Districts (IDs) are established to facilitate the
financing of particular improvements by the specific
beneficiaries. The District has a number of improvement districts
that were established for General Obligation (GO) debt repayment.
Most GO debt has been paid off and it is unlikely that the
District will issue additional GO debt. Improvement districts
continue to be used for other purposes: 1) to distinguish sewer
customers from water customers on the county tax roll; 2) to place
parcels on the county tax roll for the collection of availability
fees; or 3) for charging special water rates.
Over the years, the District moved to a district-wide perspective
of financing improvements. This philosophy is evident by the
district-wide capacity and annexation fees. The District also
uses district-wide water rates. As time goes on, it is expected

that IDs will continue to outgrow their purpose and their use will
diminish.
1.3 The Purpose of the Policy
Public entities accumulate and maintain reserves to ensure both
financial stability and continuous availability of services.
Financial stability and the resulting improved credit quality
allow the public entity to weather times of uncertainty and the
impact of negative events, both major and minor. Reserves allow
for the ongoing maintenance of property and timely payment of
expenses even when such expenses exceed money available from a
single fiscal period. In the final analysis, the type and level
of reserves are driven by the type and magnitude of uncertainty
faced by the public entity.
A “reserve” has a number of meanings, as follows:
Working capital is required to insure timely payment of
obligations.
A buffer against volatility in revenues.
Liquidity is required to obtain other goods and services
(e.g., bank services).
Designated money to protect creditors.
Money set aside to replace assets at the end of their useful
lives.
Money set aside to repair or replace assets damaged or
destroyed at unanticipated times.
It is important to note that reserves, fund balance, and net
assets are not the same. Fund balance and net assets are
accounting terms and may not always be in the form of cash or
liquid investments. Fund balances and net assets may not always
be reserves unless a designation of all or a portion of fund
balance is made. In addition, the term fund balance was replaced
by net assets as codified by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB).
In short, reserves are the liquid assets of the District,
accumulated and maintained for application to finance contingent
future activities, whether known or unanticipated, operating or

capital in nature. The District’s Reserve Policy governs the
management and use of these financial resources. Few policies
have a more significant impact on the financial health and
stability of the District. This policy explains several key
financial concepts used by the District and provides some
background information to the overall strategies and practices
utilized. The District has a fiduciary obligation to its
customers, to manage and direct the use of public funds for the
purpose of providing water and sewer services in an efficient and
financially sound manner.
1.4 Policy Guidelines
In 2000, the Little Hoover Commission reviewed the levels of
reserve funds for special districts in California and prepared a
report reflecting that special districts were accumulating
unreasonable levels of funds. As a proactive response, the
California Special Districts Association (CSDA) prepared Reserve
Guidelines for its members. The Reserve Guidelines were
significant in noting that reserve levels need to be in context of
the organization’s overall business model and capital improvement
plan.
There are a number of potential events which the District should
consider in the development of reserves:
Economic Uncertainty - performance of the regional economy
and the impact of that performance on demand for water.
Weather - the amount of rainfall and the impact of weather on
the availability and the cost of water as well as the demand
for water.
Government Mandates - the impact of federal and state
regulation, particularly environmental regulation.
Tax Changes - limitations on the District’s taxing and
spending powers through the passage of a voter referendum,
the impound of District property taxes or the removal of the
District’s power to levy property taxes, further increases to
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) contributions or
changes in calculation methodology.

Operating Costs - increases in operating and maintenance
costs because of inflation, labor agreement or other
modification.
Force Majeure - unanticipated expenditures resulting from
natural disasters or intentional acts.
Emergency Maintenance - unanticipated expenditures resulting
from unexpected failure of assets (e.g., rupture in the
primary transmission system).
Unexpected Variation in Cash Flow - the incidence of
additional costs or decreased revenues that require short-
term borrowing in the absence of sufficient financial
resources.
The California State Auditor has, in its oversight role, offered a
number of quality recommendations for the development of reserve
policies as outlined in its report entitled, “California’s
Independent Water Districts: Reserve Amounts Are Not Always
Sufficiently Justified, and Some Expenses and Contract Decisions
Are Questionable,” dated June 2004, Report No. 2003-137. All of
these recommendations have been incorporated into this policy in
an effort to address key issues surrounding the management and use
of District reserves. The detailed objectives as identified by
the State Auditor are as follows:
Distinguish between restricted and unrestricted reserves.
Establish distinct purposes for all reserves.
Set target levels, including minimums and maximums, for the
accumulation of reserves.
Identify the events or conditions that prompt the use of
reserves.
Conform to plans to acquire or build capital assets.
Receive Board approval and that it is in writing.
Require periodic review of reserve balances and rationale for
maintaining them.

Yet, the State Auditor’s report acknowledges that the California
Constitution (Article XIII B, Section 5) is vague in its
provisions governing the accumulation and use of reserves.1

Specifically, the Constitution states that “each entity of the
government can establish contingency, emergency, unemployment,
reserve, sinking fund…or similar funds as it shall deem reasonable
and proper.”2 Similarly, the State’s Water Code does not impose
any requirements as to specific or recommended reserve fund
levels. As a result, the public finance community as a whole has
yet to settle on any real objective standards for the level of
reserve funds appropriate for governmental enterprises. This lack
of consensus as to specific standards is indicative of the wide
variance of the financial and operations context for different
districts and different contingencies justifying reserves.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) in its
“Recommended Practice on Appropriate Level of Unreserved Fund
Balance in the General Fund” (2002) states that in
establishing a policy governing the level of unreserved fund
balance in the general fund, a government should consider a
variety of factors. These include:
The predictability of its revenues and the volatility of
its expenditures (i.e., higher levels of the unreserved
fund balances may be needed if significant revenue
sources are subject to unpredictable fluctuations or if
operating expenditures are highly volatile).
The availability of resources in other funds as well as
the potential drain upon general fund resources from
other funds (i.e., the availability of resources in
other funds may reduce the amount of the unreserved fund
balance needed in the general fund, just as deficits in
other funds may require that a higher level of
unreserved fund balance be maintained in the general
fund).
Liquidity (i.e., a disparity between when financial
resources actually become available to make payments and
the average maturity of related liabilities may require
that a higher level of resources be maintained).
Designations (i.e., governments may wish to maintain
higher levels of the unreserved fund balance to

compensate for any portion of unreserved fund balance
already designated for a specific purpose).
In the preparation of this policy, each of the CSDA guidelines and
the GFOA recommendations has been considered. In addition, all
seven objectives provided by the State Auditor are specifically
addressed for each reserve. The District wholly supports the
State Auditor’s efforts to bring a high-level of quality to
reserve governance and establishing a standard of performance.
The District recognizes that the customer pays for services
provided. Quality management requires that periodic valuations be
performed so that fees and charges can be set at appropriate
levels to recover the cost of service. The District’s Reserve
Policy has been drafted with consideration of the GFOA, CSDA, and
State Auditor’s general guidelines as provided above. In
addition, the District has adopted the following principles in the
management of its financial resources:
Reserves are held and used only for the purpose for which
they are collected. This is done to maintain equity among
customers.
Each of the service types is tracked separately so that
expenditures and revenues can be monitored and evaluated for
each customer type. This provides the District with the
necessary information to appropriately charge for each of the
services.
Separation of operations and maintenance from capital
expenditures occurs within each of the service types. This
is done because the financing of these expenditures is often
on different timelines or use different reserves.
The District will hold its reserves at responsible and
prudent levels. This policy sets minimum, maximum, and
target levels for each of the various funds. This has been
done so that the District can maintain reserves to meet the
purpose for which the funds were established. The levels are
set by reference to line items in the District’s financial
statements and approved budgets. This allows reserve levels
to adjust to the District’s changing financial circumstances.
Debt financing of facilities provides intergenerational
equity and maintains rates at reasonable levels. This equity

is accomplished with long-term financing which spreads the
cost of facilities over the life of the facilities. The
burden to pay for facilities is then paid by those who use
them. The District could amass significant reserves by pre-
collecting financial resources in a Replacement Reserve Fund
allowing the District to cash finance all replacements.
However, this would require significant rate increases
burdening the current customers and creating reserve levels
difficult to defend to the ratepayers or other oversight
entities.
These concepts are fundamental to the way the District manages its
funds and have a direct impact on the way rates and charges are
set. The District performs annual budget evaluations and updates
its rate model on an annual basis to monitor and adjust the
various funds and revenue sources. The separation, tracking, and
projecting of the various funds and expenditures create the
essential information necessary for the equitable rate structure
maintained by the District. The annual review preserves the
balance between services provided and the fees charged. This
review also insures that reserves will be available to continue to
serve the District’s customers.
Financial Sources
2.0 Developers
a. Meter Installation Charges (General Use)
Meter fees are charges collected for new water service
connections. Fees vary depending upon meter size and type of
service. The costs associated with meter installations are
included in the Operating Expenses section of the budget.
These charges are financed by developers.
b. Developer Deposits (General Use)
These deposits are for the engineering and operations
services provided to developers. They are tracked separately
for each developer and any excess amount is returned to the
developer.
c. Annexation Fees (Restricted)

Page 13 of 49
Annexation fees3 are collected as a condition of annexing
into the District’s potable and recycled water facilities.
Since the existing facilities have been built and maintained
by developers or customers within the District, the
annexation fee is calculated based on the present value of
all property taxes (1% property tax and availability fees)
paid by existing and prior customers. The annexation fee
insures that future users finance a portion of facilities
that were sized, built, and maintained for both existing and
future users. Proceeds of annexation fees are restricted and
can be used for expansion, replacement, or betterment
projects. These reserves may be shifted back and forth as
financing needs change.
d. Annexation Fees (Unrestricted)
A sewer annexation fee is collected when property is annexed
into an improvement district. This fee is calculated using
the “buy-in” basis and therefore is unrestricted.
e. New Water Supply Fee (Restricted)
New water supply fees4 are based on the cost of the expansion
portion of new water supply projects divided by the number of
future equivalent dwelling units (EDU). The new water supply
fee covers the cost of planning, design, construction, and
financing associated with facilities for the District’s new
supply needs. These fees are paid by developers. The
proceeds of this fee may be used only for new potable or
recycled water supply projects. Although the fees collected
are not restricted separately, one portion for potable and
the other for recycled, they are tracked separately.
f. Capacity Fees (Restricted)
Capacity fees4 are based on the value of existing and future
facilities divided by the number of existing and future
equivalent dwelling units. This method of calculating
capacity fees is called the combined method, where the “buy-
in” portion of the capacity fee covers costs to repay
existing customers for the facilities that they have built,
and where the “incremental” portion of the capacity fee
covers the cost of future expansion facilities. The “buy-in”

portion of the capacity fee is restricted to pay for
planning, design, construction, and financing associated with
expansion, replacement or betterment facilities. The “buy-
in” portion may be shifted back and forth between expansion,
betterment or replacement as the financing needs change. The
“incremental” portion of the capacity fee is limited to
planning, design, construction, and financing exclusively for
expansion facilities (excluding new water supply expansion).
Facility needs are based on projected land use planning. Changes
in anticipated future land use occur and can alter projected
facility requirements. Thus, both the anticipated facilities
needs and their projected costs change over time as regulatory
agencies make changes to land use. The District periodically
reviews the capacity fee calculation to accommodate such
variations. These fees are paid by developers.
The District’s construction of infrastructure occurs prior to the
addition of EDUs. This sequence serves two purposes: one it
ensures that the District can serve the pending construction as it
is completed; and two, it is more efficient to oversize many
facilities at the outset rather than build for the current need
and then reconstruct when the future need is realized. As a
result of this strategy, the District has financed construction
with bond financing as the existing expansion reserves are
depleted.
The capacity fee is calculated based on the combined recycled and
potable water systems needs. This methodology is used because the
two water systems work hand-in-hand. All capacity fees can be
used for either potable or recycled but must be tracked to
distinguish between the “buy-in” and “incremental” portions as
described above. So, while capacity fees are not restricted
separately by potable and recycled, they are tracked separately.

2.1 Customers/Users
a. Uniform Rates and Charges (General Use)
Charges to users for water, sewer, and recycled water are
uniform throughout the District for similar customer types.
b. Monthly System Fees (General Use)
This is a fixed revenue source that is charged monthly. The
amount of the charge is based on the meter size.
c. Energy Charges (General Use)
The energy pumping fee is a charge per uUnit of water for
each 100 feet of lift, or fraction thereof, above the base
elevation of 450 feet. This charge is placed on the monthly
water bills of all water customers.

Penalties are added to the monthly water and sewer bills for
late charges, locks, etc.

fixed costs from the County Water Authority (CWA) and the
Metropolitan Water District (MWD).
f. Special Rates and Charges (Restricted)
In addition to the uniform water charges, the District
currently has five special water rates and one sewer rate.
The five water rates are for construction, installation, and
maintenance of water storage reservoirs, pump stations, and
water lines. Each of these rates and charges must be used
within the respective geographic areas from which they are
collected. These special charges are listed below:
North District water charge (Code section 25.03G)
ID 9 water charge (Code section 25.03H)
ID 3 water charge (Code section 25.03I)
ID 10 water charge (Code section 25.03I)
La Presa water charge (Code section 25.03I)
Russell Square sewer charge (Code section 53.04C)
When these rates were established they were for the specific
purpose of constructing, installing, and maintaining the
water and sewer systems in the areas in which the fees were
collected. Therefore, these are restricted reserves by
geographic area as well as by purpose. These rates and
charges can also be used for maintenance; unlike the
availability fees (discussed in 2.2 B.). These six special
rates and charges along with availability fees are tracked
separately, by geographic area, so they can be individually
evaluated to maintain the targeted reserve levels. To meet
this need, each special rate and charge is accounted for in a
“sub-fund” of the Betterment Fund.
g. Temporary Meter Fees (General Use/Restricted)
Water charges, in lieu of capacity fees, are charged on
temporary meters. This is done because temporary meters use
system capacity but they are not charged a capacity fee.
Temporary water use is charged at two times the water rate
with the added charge placed in the Restricted Expansion
Fund. The primary users of these temporary meters are
developers; however, general customers also use these for
various purposes.

2.2 County-Collected Taxes and Fees
a. General Levy Property Tax Receipts (1% Property Tax)
(General Use)
In 1978, Proposition 13 limited the levy of ad valorem
property taxes on real property to one percent of the
assessed value of such property. Subsequent legislation,
AB 8, established that the receipts from the one percent levy
were to be distributed to taxing agencies proportionate to
each agency’s general levy receipts prior to Proposition 13.
Taxes received are for general use.
b. Availability Charges (General Use/Restricted)
The District levies availability charges each year in
developed and undeveloped areas. Current legislation
provides that any amount up to $10 per parcel is general use
and any amount over $10 per parcel is restricted to be
expended in and for the improvement district (ID) within
which it is collected. Accordingly, the District may use
availability charges in excess of $10 toward costs of water

and sewer facilities which are either, expansion, betterment,
or replacement of facilities consistent with the purpose of
the ID in which they are collected. This portion of the
proceeds of availability charges is geographically restricted
and restricted by purpose. As costs are incurred on these
projects the respective IDs are charged, reducing the
reserves. To the extent that availability charges are not
used for the purpose for which they are collected, they must
be returned to the property owners that paid them. The
District has historically used these reserves for betterment
capital facilities thus, the restricted reserves are
accounted for in “sub-funds” of the Betterment Fund
(see 2.1 f.).
c. State Loan Assessment (Restricted)
The District assesses a charge per unit of sewer service each
year on the sewer customers. This is collected via the
county tax roll and is specifically collected for the
repayment of the state loan. When this loan is paid off the
charge will be removed.
d. c. Improvement District General Obligation (GO) Bond
Assessments (Restricted)
The District has historically issued general obligation (GO)
debt and establishes an improvement district for the
repayment of that debt. When this financing method is used,
the county tax roll can be used to collect special taxes or
assessments within the ID to pay the debt obligation. The
proceeds of the debt are restricted for the purpose as
defined in the bond documents.

2.3 Miscellaneous Income
a. Miscellaneous Rents and Leases (General Use)
Revenues received from the rental and lease of District
property are general use revenues. Not only are they
periodic revenues, but there is also a one-time fee charged
with the setup of each new lease. The District incurs
expenses related to these rents and leases. The one-time
fees are calculated to recover the costs to setup the leases.
b. Sewer Billing Fees (General Use)
Sewer billing fees are general use revenues. The District
provides processing and billing services to the City of Chula
Vista to bill and collect from their customers for sewer
service. These fees are to recover the cost the District
incurs to provide this service.
c. Interest Income or Expense Allocation (General Use,
Designated, and Restricted)
Interest income (expense) will be allocated every month based
upon each fund's month-ending balance. In this way, each
fund receives credit for interest earned by that fund and
each fund with a negative balance is charged for the use of
the other fund’s reserves.

2.4 Debt Issuance
a. Loans (General/Restricted Use)
As the District determines that additional financing is
required for a particular purpose, the option of borrowing is
considered. The determination to borrow is made as a part of
the annual rate model update and is evaluated in accordance
with the Debt Policy before it is recommended to the Board
for action. As an option to bond indebtedness, loans are
available to satisfy short-term financing needs. These loans
may or may not be contractually restricted for a particular
purpose.
b. General Obligation (GO) Bonds (Restricted)
As the District becomes more developed it becomes less likely
that general obligation debt will be used as it requires a
vote of the public to be approved. Bond proceeds are
restricted for the construction of those facilities
identified in the GO bond issuance. Occasionally, specific
portions of bond proceeds may be allocated for the repayment
of the principal and interest, also called debt service, on
these bonds. As the District determines that additional
financing is required for a particular purpose, the option of
debt issuance is considered. The determination to issue debt
is made as a part of the annual rate model update and is
evaluated in accordance with the Debt Policy before it is
recommended to the Board for action.
c. Certificates of Participation (COPs) (Restricted)
General revenues of the District are pledged as security for
Certificates of Participation (COPs) indebtedness. If the
District determines that additional financing is required for
a particular purpose, the option of debt issuance is
considered. The determination to issue debt is made as a
part of the annual rate model update and is evaluated in
accordance with the Debt Policy before it is recommended to
the Board for action. This form of financing has become the
industry’s preferred form of financing as it does not require
a vote of the general public.

2.5 Inter-fund Transfers
Each year in the budgeting process, future fund levels are
projected for the next six years. Based on these projections
transfers are recommended. Reserves may be transferred
between Unrestricted or Designated Funds and the General Fund
(see 4.0 “Funding Levels” and 4.1 “Fund Transfers”).
Reserves may not be transferred to or from any of the
restricted funds unless it is between two restricted funds
with a shared purpose.
Fund Types and Categories
3.0 General Funds
a. Purpose
The General Fund is neither restricted nor designated. The
District maintains one General Fund for each business segment
(water, sewer, and recycled). This fund holds the working
capital and emergency operating reserves. While the General
Fund has a short-term focus to finance the District’s annual
operations, it is supported by the six-year rate model. This
fund is primarily used to finance the operations of the
District; however, it can be used for any District purpose.
This fund can be used to supplement the District’s rates and
charges and be a temporary source of revenue to balance the
Operating Budget. This fund can also be used to avoid spikes
in the rates or significant and abrupt increases. It is an
industry practice to have a fund that can be used to
stabilize rates. This would only occur if there was a
temporary need for reserves that would smooth out a rate
spike or to ramp up what would otherwise be a dramatic rate
increase.
The General Fund also plays a role in the debt planning of
the District. This fund is viewed by the debt markets as a
commitment by the District to ensure financial stability of
the rates and charges of the District. The District is
anticipated to need a number of debt issuances over the years
and this fund will help the District not only to stabilize

sales.
The sewer general fund receives sewer charges, penalties,
availability charges, sewer annexation fees (calculated on
the “buy-in” basis), and interest income or expense
allocation.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level for each
business segment of the General Fund is three
months of operating budget expenses (evaluated
separately for each segment).

II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
General Fund is nine months of operating budget
expenses. In the event that this fund exceeds the
seven month level, the excess will be evaluated or
transferred to one or more of the designated funds.
III. Target Level – The target level of reserves is
three months of operating budget expenses. In the
event that the fund drops below the target level,
rate increases or fund transfers would be
considered.
3.1 Designated Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Fund
a. Purpose
Designated Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) reserves are
“general use” reserves that have been set apart by Board
action to finance the medical benefits of qualified retirees
as outlined in the District’s benefits plan. This District
fund holds only a portion of the total OPEB reserves. The
other portion is held in a trust at CalPERS and is restricted
for the purpose of financing the OPEB liability. The two
portions are considered jointly when looking at target
reserve levels. Every two years, the fund is evaluated by an
actuary to update the annual financing requirements. Changes
in the actuarial valuation may result from changes in benefit
levels, employee population, health insurance costs, or
general market conditions. The reserves held by the District
are currently designated and may be placed into the CalPERS
trust to legally restrict the funds, removing the District’s
legal access to these reserves.
b. Sources
The OPEB liability may be financed by general use reserves
coming from user rates and charges, either from an operating
budget expenditure or from interfund transfers. Transfers of
unrestricted reserves may come from the various designated
funds or from the General Fund. As a part of the normal
budget process, annual operating revenues have been
sufficient to finance the ongoing needs of this designated
fund. While debt financing is also an option, the District
has only used user rates and charges to finance this fund.

c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. When
considering the reserve level of this fund, both
the District held OPEB reserves and CalPERS held
OPEB reserves must be considered jointly.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. In the event
that the two funds, as described above, exceed the
OPEB liability, the District will reduce the annual
funding levels as defined by the actuarial study.
III. Target Level – The target reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. In the event
that the two funds, as described above, fall below
the OPEB liability, the District will increase the
annual funding levels as defined by the actuarial
study.

3.2 New Water Supply Fund Category
a. Purpose
The New Water Supply Fund category is to finance the
expansion portion of new water supply projects and is
therefore to be paid by developers. When considering the
reserve level of the New Water Supply category; the New Water
Supply Fund, the New Water Supply Debt Fund, and the
Designated New Water Supply Fund all work in concert and must
be considered jointly.
b. Sources
The New Water Supply Fund receives reserves only from the new
water supply fee. Other funds within the new water supply
category of funds receive debt proceeds and general use
reserves through a designation to this category.

c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement projects. As the
District moves through its lifecycle the need for
new water supply reserves will decrease and may be
reduced to zero.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
new water supply category of funds is limited to
five years of the unfinanced new water supply
facilities as described in the District’s CIP
Budget. To determine the unfinanced amount, the
total new water supply financing needs must be
reduced by the projected new water supply revenues,
general fund designations, and bond financing. If
the combined new water supply reserves exceed the
target level, the District should consider
transferring designated reserves to meet other
purposes, reduce the new water supply fee, or
change the timing of the new water supply projects.
III. Target Level – In order to facilitate debt
financing of the new water supply, it is important
that the various new water supply funds retain an
overall reserve level of six months, prior to any
attempt to obtain debt financing. This reserve
level allows the District the time necessary to
issue additional debt without depleting new water
supply reserves. If the combined new water supply
reserve levels drop below six months of
expenditures, this would trigger a transfer of
general use reserves, a bond sale, or a change in
the timing of new water supply projects. Bond
proceeds would be placed in the Restricted New
Water Supply Debt Fund while transfers would be
placed in the Designated New Water Supply Fund.

3.3 Expansion Fund Category
a. Purpose
The Expansion Fund category is to finance the expansion
portion of capital projects and therefore is to be paid for
by developers. When considering the reserve levels of the
expansion category, the following funds work in concert and
must be considered jointly: the Expansion Fund, Expansion
Debt Fund, Annexation Fund (potable and recycled only),
Capital Improvement Fund, and the Designated Expansion Fund.
Potable and recycled reserves are considered jointly while
sewer is evaluated separately.
b. Sources
The Expansion Fund is financed by water charges in lieu of
capacity fees (for temporary meters) and the “incremental”
portion of the capacity fee. The other funds in this
category may also be financed by debt proceeds, annexation
fees, the “buy-in” portion of the capacity fee, and the
general fund through a designation of reserves.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement and betterment
projects. As the District moves through this
lifecycle the need for expansion reserves will
decrease and may be reduced to zero.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
expansion category of funds is limited to five
years of unfinanced expansion facilities as
described in the District’s CIP Budget. To
determine the unfinanced amount, the total
financing needs must be reduced by the projected
expansion revenues, bond financing, and any
restricted or general fund revenues allocated to
this fund category. If the combined expansion
reserves exceed target levels, the District should
consider reducing capacity fees, reallocating

adjustment to the timing of expansion projects, or
a reallocation of restricted reserves. Bond
proceeds would be placed in the Restricted Bond
Fund, transfers of general use reserves would be
placed in the Designated Expansion Fund, and
transfers of restricted reserves would be placed in
either the Expansion Annexation Fund or the
Expansion Capital Improvement Fund.

3.4 Replacement Fund Category
a. Purpose
The Replacement Fund category is to finance replacement
projects. When considering the reserve levels of the
replacement category of funds, the following funds work
in concert and must be considered jointly: the
Annexation Fund, Debt Fund, Capital Improvement Fund,
and the Designated Replacement Fund. The purpose of
these reserves is to pay for the replacement of capital
infrastructure and capital purchases. These reserves
are not to be used for the replacement of non-capital
items.
With the District’s development of its financial systems
and the greater need and ability to separate and track
reserves, the replacement reserves have been separated
into three funds: water, recycled, and sewer.
Projects undertaken solely for the purpose of replacing
major capital equipment or facilities, i.e., where the
cost exceeds $10,000 for capital purchases or $20,000
for infrastructure items, generally these are not
considered normal maintenance. When the cost is below
$10,000, the costs are financed annually as operational
maintenance. As charges are incurred on replacement
projects the reserves are deducted from the respective
Replacement Funds on a monthly basis.
b. Sources
The various funds in this category are financed by debt
proceeds, annexation fees, the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee, and general fund designations.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level of this
category of funds is 3% of the historical value of
existing assets as identified in the District’s
current financial statements. Potable, recycled,
and sewer replacement are evaluated separately.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level of this
category of funds is 6% of existing assets. If the

combined replacement reserves exceed target levels,
the District should consider transferring
annexation fees or the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee to meet other purposes. Another
consideration would be to shift the timing of
replacement projects.
III. Target Level – The target reserve level of this
category of funds is 4% of existing assets. In the
event that the reserves fall below the recommended
target level, the District should consider
transferring annexation fees or the “buy-in”
portion of the capacity fee. The District should
also consider shifting the timing of replacement
projects or issuing debt to support the planned
level of facility replacement. The District will
act based on the annual six-year rate model, to
insure that at the end of that planning horizon the
reserves exceed the minimum level and is
approaching the target level.

3.5 Betterment Fund Category
a. Purpose
The Betterment Fund category is to finance the
betterment portion of capital projects with a portion
going to maintenance of the potable, recycled, and sewer
systems. The District maintains separate Betterment
Fund categories, one for each improvement district. An
improvement district is a legally defined geographic
area usually established for the purpose of bond
financing of facilities. The betterment reserves within
these funds are restricted by law for use within the
improvement district in which the fees were collected
(Water Code 71631.6). However, the legal restriction of
this reserve depends upon the particular revenue source.
(See Section 2.1 f. for a review of the special rates
and availability fees).
When considering the reserve levels of the betterment
category of funds, the following funds work in concert
and must be considered jointly: the Betterment Fund,
Annexation Fund, Debt Fund, Capital Improvement Fund,
and Designated Betterment Fund.
b. Sources
The Betterment Fund category receives restricted
revenues by improvement district via special water rates
and from availability fees collected through the county
tax roll. Betterment may also be financed by debt
proceeds, annexation fees, the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee, as well as the general fund through a
designation of reserves.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement projects. As the
District moves through this lifecycle the need for
betterment reserves will decrease and may be
reduced to zero.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
betterment category of funds is limited to five
years of unfinanced betterment facilities as

described in the District’s CIP Budget. To
determine the unfinanced amount, the total
financing need must be reduced by the projected
betterment revenues, bond financing, annexation,
and general fund designations. If this maximum is
exceeded, then the District should evaluate
reductions in the special water rates and
availability fees, transferring designated reserves
to meet other purposes, or shifting the timing of
betterment projects.
III. Target Level – The target is six months of
betterment expenditures. It is important that the
betterment reserves remain at a minimum of six
months of betterment expenditures. This reserve
level allows the District the time necessary to
issue additional debt without depleting betterment
reserves. If the combined betterment reserves drop
below six months of expenditures this would trigger
a transfer of general use reserves, a bond sale, or
an adjustment to the timing of betterment projects.
Bond proceeds would be placed in the Betterment
Bond Fund while transfers would be placed in the
Designated Betterment Fund.

collected. In this case it is to pay for facilities that
were in existence at the time this fee was established.
These fees may be used for expansion, replacement, or
betterment projects or any debt related to these categories.
These fees may also be used for either the potable or the
recycled systems. As capacity fees are collected, the “buy-
in” portion of the fee is allocated as needed to one of three
capital improvement funds, one in each of the Expansion,
Replacement, and Betterment Fund categories. These reserves
are used to pay debt or offset any negative balance within
these three categories of funds. These fees may not be used
to finance the New Water Supply category, as there were no
new water supply facilities in existence at the time the new
methodology for capacity fees was established.

overall reserve levels within each fund category.
4.1 Annexation Fund
a. Purpose
The Annexation Fund’s sole purpose is to track the potable
and recycled annexation fees collected and to ensure these
fees are expended solely for the purpose for which they were
collected. The annexation fees may be used for expansion,
replacement, or betterment projects or any debt related to
these categories. These fees may be used for either the
potable or recycled systems. These reserves may not be used
to finance the New Water Supply category, as it was not in
existence at the time the fee was established. As these fees
are collected they are allocated as needed to one of three
capital improvement funds, one in each of the Expansion,

c. Uses
There are no minimums, maximums, or target levels for these
reserves on an individual basis. The allocation of this fee
to the various Annexation Funds is dependent on the overall

4.2 Debt Reserve Fund
a. Purpose
The Debt Reserve Fund is established to hold the proceeds
from the various debt issuances. There are two types of
debt, General Obligation bonds and Certificates of
Participation bonds. The proceeds are transferred to the New
Water Supply, Expansion, Replacement, or Betterment Debt
Funds as they are expended for various facilities within
those fund categories. As repayment of the debt occurs, the
balances within these individual funds are reduced so that
the financial impact of issuing debt is tracked within the
category for which the debt was issued.
b. Sources
Debt proceeds.
c. Uses
There are no minimums, maximums, or target levels for this
fund on an individual basis. This fund is available on an as
needed basis to fund CIP projects for new water supply,
expansion, replacement, or betterment. From a funding level
perspective, these reserves are evaluated in the context of
all the various funds within each fund category.
Fund Transfers
5.0 Funding Levels
As described in the preceding sections, the District maintains
reserves for its operating and capital activities. These reserves
can be of three types: 1) undesignated or general use reserves, 2)
designated, and 3) restricted for a specific purpose. The
restricted reserves can be restricted geographically and/or by
purpose. The District maintains various funds to track the

various designations and restrictions. The source of the money
for each fund was discussed along with the purpose, source of
funds, and levels. Key characteristics of these funds are the
target levels, minimums, and maximums. The funding levels must be
viewed in the context of the economic environment, political
environment, and in light of the District’s rate model. The
District’s six-year rate model not only shows the current balance
but also shows the trend of the fund balances. Often the trend of
the fund is a greater indicator of financial stability than is the
current balance.
The rate model is updated each year with the budget process and
evaluates each fund over the next six years. The rate model will
take into account the general economic environment, looking at the
development rate, supply rate increases, the possibility of
raising rates, capital infrastructure spending, and strategic plan
initiatives. The fund balances may at times be over or under the
target amount. This is not only acceptable but expected. The
rate model provides an empirical estimate of the conformance
between the projected District’s financial activities and the
guidelines of this policy.
5.1 Fund Transfers
Reserves within the District’s various designated funds come from
interfund transfers of unrestricted general use reserves. It is
important to note that the District has the ability to use general
use reserves for any business purpose. General use reserves may
be transferred to and from any unrestricted fund for any business
need. Designated reserves are general use reserves which have
been set aside for a specific purpose by Board action. These
reserves can only be used for the purpose they were designated, or
with Board action they may be used for any other business purpose.
While general use reserves may be used for any restricted purpose
they may not be transferred to Restricted Funds due to the
sensitivity of the tracking of restricted reserves. If reserves
are needed for a restricted purpose they are transferred to a
Designated Fund within the fund category with that particular
purpose. Reserves restricted to a fund category may only be used
within that category and may not be transferred to another
category. For example, the new water supply fee and the
“incremental” portion of the capacity fee are restricted reserves
for a specific purpose, and may not be transferred to another

category as no other category has the same purpose. However, the
“buy-in” portion of the capacity fees and annexation fees are
restricted for purposes that are shared by more than one category
of funds and may therefore be transferred to a restricted fund
within another fund category as long as it shares the same
purpose.
In many situations reserve transfers are expected as some fund
categories will exceed their maximums or drop below their
minimums. Only fund categories that are below the stated target
are eligible to receive transferred reserves. Fund categories
that exceed their maximums are first to be considered for
transfers out, followed by funds that exceed their targets. Funds
that exceed their minimums are also available for reserve
transfers out, but only when other options are not available.
The rationale for prioritizing reserve transfers is based on the
immediacy of the need and the availability of reserves from other
funding sources. For example, the General Fund is first to
receive reserves when it drops below its target or minimum levels.
This is because of the immediate and ongoing nature of the
expenditures that are served by this fund. The operation of the
District is first and foremost of the objectives of the District.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Replacement Fund has a long-
term perspective and will be used to partially finance replacement
assets for many years to come. Debt financing is available to
respond to this long term, foreseeable, and planned cash flow.
This fund is less likely to have immediate needs and has other
financing options.
When making the determination of when transfers are necessary, all
funds within a fund category work as a group. The combined
balance of the restricted and designated funds is looked at when
determining whether the fund category requires additional funding
from the Restricted Capital Improvement Fund, Restricted
Annexation Fund, Restricted Debt Fund, or the General Fund.
Because the Capital Improvement Fund and Annexation Fund may
finance expansion, replacement or betterment reserves may be
transferred between these fund categories, but only back and forth
within its own type of restricted fund.
As an example, if during the rate model update process it was
determined that the Expansion Funds (designated and restricted)

would drop and stay below the minimum during the six-year planning
horizon, this would trigger a bond sale, a transfer of general use
reserves, and/or a transfer of restricted reserves. If in the
cash planning process, it was anticipated that the General Fund
would remain above target during the planning horizon and that the
trend did not present a problematic underfunded status, then
General Fund reserves would be considered available for transfer
prior to making proceeds available from a bond sale. Also, if
during this period the Betterment Fund category was anticipated to
exceed its maximum, then reserves from either the Designated
Betterment Fund, the Annexation Fund, or the Capital Improvement
Fund would be transferred to the corresponding Expansion Fund
prior to a bond sale. All funds are evaluated to determine which
has the greatest need or availability of reserves before any
reserve transfer recommendation is presented to the Board.

GLOSSARY
The Reserve Policy contains terminology that is unique to public
finance and budgeting. The following glossary provides assistance
in understanding these terms.
Annexation Fees: When water service is requested for land outside
the boundaries of the District, the land to be serviced must first
be annexed. For sewer service the land must be annexed into an
improvement district within the District.
Assets: Resources owned or held by Otay Water District that has
monetary value.
Availability Fees: The District levies charges each year in
developed areas to be used for upgrades, betterment, or
replacement and in undeveloped areas to provide a source of
funding for planning, mapping, and preliminary design of
facilities to meet future development. Current legislation
provides that any availability charge in excess of $10.00 per acre
shall be used only for the purpose of the improvement district for
which it was assessed.
Betterment Fees: In addition to other applicable water rates and
charges, water customers pay a fee based on water service zone or
Improvement District. These fees are restricted for use in the
area where they are collected and may be used for the construction
and maintenance of facilities.
Bond: A written promise to pay a sum of money on a specific date
at a specified interest rate. The interest payments and the
repayment of the principal are authorized in a District bond
resolution. The most common types of bonds are General Obligation
(GO) bonds and Certificates of Participation (COPs). These are
frequently used for construction of large capital projects such as
buildings, reservoirs, pipelines and pump stations.
Capital Equipment: Fixed assets such as vehicles, marine
equipment, computers, furniture, technical instruments, etc. which
have a life expectancy of more than two years and a value over
$10,000.

which imports water from the Colorado River and the State Water
Project.
Debt Service: The District's obligation to pay the principal and
interest of bonds and other debt instruments according to a
predetermined payment schedule.
Expenditures/Expenses: These terms refer to the outflow of funds
paid or to be paid for an asset, goods, or services obtained
regardless of when actually paid for. (Note: An encumbrance is
not an expenditure). An encumbrance reserves funds to be expended
in a future period.
Fund: An account used to track the collection and use of monies
for a specifically defined purpose.
Fund Balance: The current funds on hand resulting from the
historical collection and use of monies. The difference between
assets and liabilities reported in the District’s Operating Fund
plus residual equities or balances and changes therein, from the
results of operations.
Interest Income: Earnings from the investment portfolio. Per
District Policy Number 25, interest income will be allocated to
the various funds each month based upon each fund’s prior month-
ending balance.
Late Charges/Penalties: Charges and penalties are imposed on
customer accounts for late payments, returned checkspayments, and
related telephone contacts other infringements of the District’s

1% Property Tax: In 1978, Proposition 13 limited general levy
property tax rates for all taxing authorities to a total rate of
1% of full cash value. Subsequent legislation, AB 8, established
that the receipts from the 1% levy were to be distributed to
taxing agencies according to approximately the same proportions
received prior to Proposition 13. Funds received are to be used
for facilities construction or debt service on bonds sold to build
facilities.
Operating Budget: The portion of the budget that pertains to
daily operations that provide basic governmental services. The
operating budget contains appropriations for such expenditures as
personnel, supplies, utilities, materials, travel and fuel, and
does not include purchases of major capital plant or equipment
which is budgeted for separately in the Capital Budget. The
Operating Budget also identifies planned non-operating revenues
and expenses.
Revenue: Monies that the District receives as income. It
includes such items as water sales and sewer fees. Estimated
revenues are those expected to be collected during the fiscal
year.
System Fees: Each water service customer pays a monthly system
charge for water system replacement, maintenance, and operation
expenses. The charge is based on the size of the meter and class
of service.
Taxes: California Water Code Section 72091 authorizes the
District, as a municipal water district, to levy ad valorem
property taxes which are equal to the amount required to make
annual payments for principal and interest on General Obligation
bonds approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978.
Unit: A Unit of water is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons of water.
Water Rates: Rates vary among classes of service and are measured
in uUnits. The water rates for residential customers are based on
an accelerated block structure. As more uUnits are consumed, a
higher uUnit rate is charged. Effective in 2009, all non-
residential customers are charged for water based on a tiered rate
structure in which water rates are based on meter size and amount
of Units consumed. All non-residential customers are charged a

1.0 The District
The Otay Water District is a California municipal water district,
authorized in 1956 by the State Legislature under the provisions
of the Municipal Water District Act of 1911. The District is a
"revenue neutral" public agency; meaning each end user pays their
fair share of the District's costs of water acquisition,
construction of infrastructure, and the operation and maintenance
of the public water facilities.
The District provides water service within its boundaries, and
provides sewer and recycled water service within certain portions
of the District. As such, the District operates three distinct
business segments:
Potable water
Recycled water
Sewer
Each of these business segments has an identifiable customer base.
In addition, the developer community, large and small, makes up a
significant class of customer for each business segment. As a
result, the District has four distinct customer service types:
Developers
Potable water users
Recycled water users
Sewer users
The District has established practices and developed computer
systems that have enabled the District to maintain a clear
separation between the service costs relating to each of its four
customer service types. Regardless of customer class, financial
principles regarding cost allocation and fund accounting are
fundamental to the District’s Reserve Policy. These principles
are derived from the statements of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB), and from oversight and advisory bodies
such as the California State Auditor, the Little Hoover
Commission, and the Government Finance Officers Association
(GFOA). These have significant impacts on how the finances of
the District are organized and how financial processes work within
the organization.

1.1 The District’s Use of Financial Resources
All of the District’s expenditures fall into two broad categories:
operating costs and capital expenditures. The operating costs
include costs relating to the purchase and delivery of potable and
recycled water, and the transportation and treatment of sewage.
The capital expenditures support the construction of
infrastructure necessary to deliver services. The District uses
various funds to support the operating and capital efforts.
Operations and maintenance is financed only by rates and charges,
also called pay-as-you-go, while capital infrastructure is
financed using two financing methods: pay-as-you-go and debt
issuance (requiring annual debt service). The Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) and the two funding methods support the
construction, betterment, and replacement of infrastructure in all
three business areas: potable, recycled, and sewer.
The District establishes different funds to track revenues
allocated to different activities. Once established, each fund
receives financial resources up to the levels defined in this
policy. Every year, as a part of the annual budget process, the
District’s rate model is updated for each fund with the current
fund balances and the estimated revenues and expenditures for the
next six years. The expenditure requirements and financial
resources are then evaluated to ensure that the existing fund
balances and additional revenues are sufficient within the current
budget cycle and for the next five years to maintain target fund
levels. If a deficit is identified, then options for transfers,
shifting CIP projects, debt, cost saving measures, and/or rate
increases are evaluated.
1.2 The District’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
The planning, design, and construction costs of all capital
facilities within the three business segments are allocated to
four cost types and corresponding fund categories: New Water
Supply, Expansion, Replacement, and/or Betterment. The allocation
to these four cost types is defined in the District’s Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) and is determined by an engineering
analysis that identifies which type of customer will benefit from
each facility, planned or existing. The costs of the capital
improvements are borne by either existing users or by the
developing areas, or by a combination of the two, as applicable.

RESERVE POLICY 25 2/10/93 8/1/12
Page 3 of 44
This Reserve Policy protects both the existing users and the
developing areas from incurring unwarranted costs. Developing
areas are not required to finance facilities that are replacement
or betterment and established areas are not required to replace
facilities before they are worn out because of new development.
However, to ensure a fair allocation of costs, each facility has
the potential to be classified into any or all of the four cost
types. In addition to these cost types there are occasional CIPs
that may be billable to a third party, if for example a third
party requires a District facility be relocated. Paragraphs a
through d below, describe how the costs of capital facilities are
financed through various fees.
a. New Water Supply
The portion of a new supply project that benefits new users
is financed from the reserves in the New Water Supply Fund
category. These reserves are primarily derived from proceeds
of the new water supply fee. The New Water Supply Fund is
restricted, meaning the amounts credited to this fund are
accounted for separately and are used solely for the
planning, design, and construction of the new water supply
expansion facilities. Debt financing may also be a temporary
financial resource to finance new water supply projects. The
District has a Debt Policy (Policy No. 45) that guides the
debt issuance process. Any debt proceeds used for this
purpose would be restricted in nature and tracked separately.
General use reserves may also be placed in the Designated New
Water Supply Fund and used for water supply projects.
b. Expansion
The portion of a CIP project that benefits new users is
financed from the reserves in the Expansion Fund category.
These reserves are primarily derived from proceeds of the
“incremental” portion of the capacity fees collected within
developing areas. Capacity fees are accounted for separately
and used for the planning, design, and construction of
expansion facilities. Additionally, expansion may be
financed by annexation fees or the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee. Both of these fees are restricted for CIP
purposes, but not specifically for expansion. Debt financing
may also be a temporary financial resource for expansion
projects. General use reserves may also be placed in the
Designated Expansion Fund and used for expansion projects.

c. Replacement
The portion of a CIP project that benefits existing users by
replacing an existing facility is financed from the reserves
in the Replacement Fund category. Replacement of facilities
may be financed with proceeds of annexation fees, the “buy-
in” portion of the capacity fees, general use reserves held
in the Designated Replacement Fund and debt proceeds. The
various funding sources available for replacement projects is
anticipated to provide the necessary flexibility to begin
projects while any necessary debt financing is being
obtained.
d. Betterment
Facilities that improve reliability, meet new regulations, or
create increased levels of service are considered betterment
facilities that benefit existing users. The reserves in the
Better Fund category are used to finance these projects or
portions of projects. Certain user rates, charges, and
betterment fees are restricted geographically for betterment
of facilities, but may also be used for general maintenance
of facilities in that area. Proceeds of the annexation fee
and the “buy-in” portion of the capacity fees may also be
used to finance betterment projects. General use reserves
may be placed in the Designated Betterment Fund and used for
betterment projects.
1.21 Relocations
Occasionally, relocation of a District facility is required by a
third party. If the District has a superior easement the
relocation cost will be paid by the third party, but only to the
extent that the District does not benefit from the relocation.
When relocation is required, a CIP project may be created which is
wholly or partially financed by a third party. On occasion, the
District will require that its own facilities be relocated.
Depending on the nature of the facilities, the financial resources
for these projects could be from new water supply, expansion,
replacement, betterment or third party financing. Each project is
individually negotiated with the third party based on the facts
and circumstances of the relocation. Occasionally, the District
will improve the facilities that are being relocated. When
determining how to allocate costs to various funds the following
guideline is suggested: if a project has more than five years of
useful life remaining, an incremental cost view should be

Page 5 of 44
considered; if the project has less than five years of useful life
remaining, a pro-rata cost approach should be considered. Also,
the likelihood the District will benefit from an asset’s life
extension should be evaluated prior to allocating costs.
1.22 Oversizing
If deemed reasonable by the District, in connection with the
construction of backbone facilities, a developer may be required
to oversize new facilities for future development. The developer
is reimbursed for incremental oversizing costs as per Policy
No. 26. These reimbursements are not available for the
distribution system within a development which is an obligation
of the developer.
1.23 Exclusion of Developed Areas from Expansion Costs
Developed areas are assumed to have sufficient supply and capacity
to meet their current requirements as provided by the developers.
In addition, they are considered to have borne capital financial
costs that are at least proportionate to the benefits they have
received from capital facilities. Accordingly, no regional
capital financing costs are allocated to these areas so that they
will not incur any costs for newly developing areas, except for
capital projects that produce district-wide benefit or cost
savings.
1.24 Improvement Districts (IDs)
Improvement Districts (IDs) are established to facilitate the
financing of particular improvements by the specific
beneficiaries. The District has a number of improvement districts
that were established for General Obligation (GO) debt repayment.
Most GO debt has been paid off and it is unlikely that the
District will issue additional GO debt. Improvement districts
continue to be used for other purposes: 1) to distinguish sewer
customers from water customers on the county tax roll; 2) to place
parcels on the county tax roll for the collection of availability
fees; or 3) for charging special water rates.
Over the years, the District moved to a district-wide perspective
of financing improvements. This philosophy is evident by the
district-wide capacity and annexation fees. The District also
uses district-wide water rates. As time goes on, it is expected
that IDs will continue to outgrow their purpose and their use will
diminish.

1.3 The Purpose of the Policy
Public entities accumulate and maintain reserves to ensure both
financial stability and continuous availability of services.
Financial stability and the resulting improved credit quality
allow the public entity to weather times of uncertainty and the
impact of negative events, both major and minor. Reserves allow
for the ongoing maintenance of property and timely payment of
expenses even when such expenses exceed money available from a
single fiscal period. In the final analysis, the type and level
of reserves are driven by the type and magnitude of uncertainty
faced by the public entity.
A “reserve” has a number of meanings, as follows:
Working capital is required to insure timely payment of
obligations.
A buffer against volatility in revenues.
Liquidity is required to obtain other goods and services
(e.g., bank services).
Designated money to protect creditors.
Money set aside to replace assets at the end of their useful
lives.
Money set aside to repair or replace assets damaged or
destroyed at unanticipated times.
It is important to note that reserves, fund balance, and net
assets are not the same. Fund balance and net assets are
accounting terms and may not always be in the form of cash or
liquid investments. Fund balances and net assets may not always
be reserves unless a designation of all or a portion of fund
balance is made. In addition, the term fund balance was replaced
by net assets as codified by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB).
In short, reserves are the liquid assets of the District,
accumulated and maintained for application to finance contingent
future activities, whether known or unanticipated, operating or
capital in nature. The District’s Reserve Policy governs the
management and use of these financial resources. Few policies

have a more significant impact on the financial health and
stability of the District. This policy explains several key
financial concepts used by the District and provides some
background information to the overall strategies and practices
utilized. The District has a fiduciary obligation to its
customers, to manage and direct the use of public funds for the
purpose of providing water and sewer services in an efficient and
financially sound manner.
1.4 Policy Guidelines
In 2000, the Little Hoover Commission reviewed the levels of
reserve funds for special districts in California and prepared a
report reflecting that special districts were accumulating
unreasonable levels of funds. As a proactive response, the
California Special Districts Association (CSDA) prepared Reserve
Guidelines for its members. The Reserve Guidelines were
significant in noting that reserve levels need to be in context of
the organization’s overall business model and capital improvement
plan.
There are a number of potential events which the District should
consider in the development of reserves:
Economic Uncertainty - performance of the regional economy
and the impact of that performance on demand for water.
Weather - the amount of rainfall and the impact of weather on
the availability and the cost of water as well as the demand
for water.
Government Mandates - the impact of federal and state
regulation, particularly environmental regulation.
Tax Changes - limitations on the District’s taxing and
spending powers through the passage of a voter referendum,
the impound of District property taxes or the removal of the
District’s power to levy property taxes, further increases to
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) contributions or
changes in calculation methodology.
Operating Costs - increases in operating and maintenance
costs because of inflation, labor agreement or other
modification.

Force Majeure - unanticipated expenditures resulting from
natural disasters or intentional acts.
Emergency Maintenance - unanticipated expenditures resulting
from unexpected failure of assets (e.g., rupture in the
primary transmission system).
Unexpected Variation in Cash Flow - the incidence of
additional costs or decreased revenues that require short-
term borrowing in the absence of sufficient financial
resources.
The California State Auditor has, in its oversight role, offered a
number of quality recommendations for the development of reserve
policies as outlined in its report entitled, “California’s
Independent Water Districts: Reserve Amounts Are Not Always
Sufficiently Justified, and Some Expenses and Contract Decisions
Are Questionable,” dated June 2004, Report No. 2003-137. All of
these recommendations have been incorporated into this policy in
an effort to address key issues surrounding the management and use
of District reserves. The detailed objectives as identified by
the State Auditor are as follows:
Distinguish between restricted and unrestricted reserves.
Establish distinct purposes for all reserves.
Set target levels, including minimums and maximums, for the
accumulation of reserves.
Identify the events or conditions that prompt the use of
reserves.
Conform to plans to acquire or build capital assets.
Receive Board approval and that it is in writing.
Require periodic review of reserve balances and rationale for
maintaining them.
Yet, the State Auditor’s report acknowledges that the California
Constitution (Article XIII B, Section 5) is vague in its
provisions governing the accumulation and use of reserves.1

Specifically, the Constitution states that “each entity of the
government can establish contingency, emergency, unemployment,
reserve, sinking fund…or similar funds as it shall deem reasonable
and proper.”2 Similarly, the State’s Water Code does not impose
any requirements as to specific or recommended reserve fund
levels. As a result, the public finance community as a whole has
yet to settle on any real objective standards for the level of
reserve funds appropriate for governmental enterprises. This lack
of consensus as to specific standards is indicative of the wide
variance of the financial and operations context for different
districts and different contingencies justifying reserves.
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) in its
“Recommended Practice on Appropriate Level of Unreserved Fund
Balance in the General Fund” (2002) states that in
establishing a policy governing the level of unreserved fund
balance in the general fund, a government should consider a
variety of factors. These include:
The predictability of its revenues and the volatility of
its expenditures (i.e., higher levels of the unreserved
fund balances may be needed if significant revenue
sources are subject to unpredictable fluctuations or if
operating expenditures are highly volatile).
The availability of resources in other funds as well as
the potential drain upon general fund resources from
other funds (i.e., the availability of resources in
other funds may reduce the amount of the unreserved fund
balance needed in the general fund, just as deficits in
other funds may require that a higher level of
unreserved fund balance be maintained in the general
fund).
Liquidity (i.e., a disparity between when financial
resources actually become available to make payments and
the average maturity of related liabilities may require
that a higher level of resources be maintained).
Designations (i.e., governments may wish to maintain
higher levels of the unreserved fund balance to
compensate for any portion of unreserved fund balance
already designated for a specific purpose).

In the preparation of this policy, each of the CSDA guidelines and
the GFOA recommendations has been considered. In addition, all
seven objectives provided by the State Auditor are specifically
addressed for each reserve. The District wholly supports the
State Auditor’s efforts to bring a high-level of quality to
reserve governance and establishing a standard of performance.
The District recognizes that the customer pays for services
provided. Quality management requires that periodic valuations be
performed so that fees and charges can be set at appropriate
levels to recover the cost of service. The District’s Reserve
Policy has been drafted with consideration of the GFOA, CSDA, and
State Auditor’s general guidelines as provided above. In
addition, the District has adopted the following principles in the
management of its financial resources:
Reserves are held and used only for the purpose for which
they are collected. This is done to maintain equity among
customers.
Each of the service types is tracked separately so that
expenditures and revenues can be monitored and evaluated for
each customer type. This provides the District with the
necessary information to appropriately charge for each of the
services.
Separation of operations and maintenance from capital
expenditures occurs within each of the service types. This
is done because the financing of these expenditures is often
on different timelines or use different reserves.
The District will hold its reserves at responsible and
prudent levels. This policy sets minimum, maximum, and
target levels for each of the various funds. This has been
done so that the District can maintain reserves to meet the
purpose for which the funds were established. The levels are
set by reference to line items in the District’s financial
statements and approved budgets. This allows reserve levels
to adjust to the District’s changing financial circumstances.
Debt financing of facilities provides intergenerational
equity and maintains rates at reasonable levels. This equity
is accomplished with long-term financing which spreads the
cost of facilities over the life of the facilities. The
burden to pay for facilities is then paid by those who use

them. The District could amass significant reserves by pre-
collecting financial resources in a Replacement Reserve Fund
allowing the District to cash finance all replacements.
However, this would require significant rate increases
burdening the current customers and creating reserve levels
difficult to defend to the ratepayers or other oversight
entities.
These concepts are fundamental to the way the District manages its
funds and have a direct impact on the way rates and charges are
set. The District performs annual budget evaluations and updates
its rate model on an annual basis to monitor and adjust the
various funds and revenue sources. The separation, tracking, and
projecting of the various funds and expenditures create the
essential information necessary for the equitable rate structure
maintained by the District. The annual review preserves the
balance between services provided and the fees charged. This
review also insures that reserves will be available to continue to
serve the District’s customers.
Financial Sources
2.0 Developers
a. Meter Installation Charges (General Use)
Meter fees are charges collected for new water service
connections. Fees vary depending upon meter size and type of
service. The costs associated with meter installations are
included in the Operating Expenses section of the budget.
These charges are financed by developers.
b. Developer Deposits (General Use)
These deposits are for the engineering and operations
services provided to developers. They are tracked separately
for each developer and any excess amount is returned to the
developer.
c. Annexation Fees (Restricted)
Annexation fees3 are collected as a condition of annexing
into the District’s potable and recycled water facilities.
Since the existing facilities have been built and maintained
by developers or customers within the District, the

annexation fee is calculated based on the present value of
all property taxes (1% property tax and availability fees)
paid by existing and prior customers. The annexation fee
insures that future users finance a portion of facilities
that were sized, built, and maintained for both existing and
future users. Proceeds of annexation fees are restricted and
can be used for expansion, replacement, or betterment
projects. These reserves may be shifted back and forth as
financing needs change.
d. Annexation Fees (Unrestricted)
A sewer annexation fee is collected when property is annexed
into an improvement district. This fee is calculated using
the “buy-in” basis and therefore is unrestricted.
e. New Water Supply Fee (Restricted)
New water supply fees4 are based on the cost of the expansion
portion of new water supply projects divided by the number of
future equivalent dwelling units (EDU). The new water supply
fee covers the cost of planning, design, construction, and
financing associated with facilities for the District’s new
supply needs. These fees are paid by developers. The
proceeds of this fee may be used only for new potable or
recycled water supply projects. Although the fees collected
are not restricted separately, one portion for potable and
the other for recycled, they are tracked separately.
f. Capacity Fees (Restricted)
Capacity fees4 are based on the value of existing and future
facilities divided by the number of existing and future
equivalent dwelling units. This method of calculating
capacity fees is called the combined method, where the “buy-
in” portion of the capacity fee covers costs to repay
existing customers for the facilities that they have built,
and where the “incremental” portion of the capacity fee
covers the cost of future expansion facilities. The “buy-in”
portion of the capacity fee is restricted to pay for
planning, design, construction, and financing associated with
expansion, replacement or betterment facilities. The “buy-
in” portion may be shifted back and forth between expansion,
betterment or replacement as the financing needs change. The

“incremental” portion of the capacity fee is limited to
planning, design, construction, and financing exclusively for
expansion facilities (excluding new water supply expansion).
Facility needs are based on projected land use planning. Changes
in anticipated future land use occur and can alter projected
facility requirements. Thus, both the anticipated facilities
needs and their projected costs change over time as regulatory
agencies make changes to land use. The District periodically
reviews the capacity fee calculation to accommodate such
variations. These fees are paid by developers.
The District’s construction of infrastructure occurs prior to the
addition of EDUs. This sequence serves two purposes: one it
ensures that the District can serve the pending construction as it
is completed; and two, it is more efficient to oversize many
facilities at the outset rather than build for the current need
and then reconstruct when the future need is realized. As a
result of this strategy, the District has financed construction
with bond financing as the existing expansion reserves are
depleted.
The capacity fee is calculated based on the combined recycled and
potable water systems needs. This methodology is used because the
two water systems work hand-in-hand. All capacity fees can be
used for either potable or recycled but must be tracked to
distinguish between the “buy-in” and “incremental” portions as
described above. So, while capacity fees are not restricted
separately by potable and recycled, they are tracked separately.

f. Special Rates and Charges (Restricted)
In addition to the uniform water charges, the District

Russell Square sewer charge (Code section 53.04C)
When these rates were established they were for the specific
purpose of constructing, installing, and maintaining the
water and sewer systems in the areas in which the fees were
collected. Therefore, these are restricted reserves by
geographic area as well as by purpose. These rates and
charges can also be used for maintenance; unlike the
availability fees (discussed in 2.2 B.). These six special
rates and charges along with availability fees are tracked
separately, by geographic area, so they can be individually
evaluated to maintain the targeted reserve levels. To meet
this need, each special rate and charge is accounted for in a
“sub-fund” of the Betterment Fund.
g. Temporary Meter Fees (General Use/Restricted)
Water charges, in lieu of capacity fees, are charged on
temporary meters. This is done because temporary meters use
system capacity but they are not charged a capacity fee.
Temporary water use is charged at two times the water rate
with the added charge placed in the Restricted Expansion
Fund. The primary users of these temporary meters are
developers; however, general customers also use these for
various purposes.

2.2 County-Collected Taxes and Fees
a. General Levy Property Tax Receipts (1% Property Tax)
(General Use)
In 1978, Proposition 13 limited the levy of ad valorem
property taxes on real property to one percent of the
assessed value of such property. Subsequent legislation,
AB 8, established that the receipts from the one percent levy
were to be distributed to taxing agencies proportionate to
each agency’s general levy receipts prior to Proposition 13.
Taxes received are for general use.
b. Availability Charges (General Use/Restricted)
The District levies availability charges each year in
developed and undeveloped areas. Current legislation
provides that any amount up to $10 per parcel is general use
and any amount over $10 per parcel is restricted to be
expended in and for the improvement district (ID) within
which it is collected. Accordingly, the District may use
availability charges in excess of $10 toward costs of water

and sewer facilities which are either, expansion, betterment,
or replacement of facilities consistent with the purpose of
the ID in which they are collected. This portion of the
proceeds of availability charges is geographically restricted
and restricted by purpose. As costs are incurred on these
projects the respective IDs are charged, reducing the
reserves. To the extent that availability charges are not
used for the purpose for which they are collected, they must
be returned to the property owners that paid them. The
District has historically used these reserves for betterment
capital facilities thus, the restricted reserves are
accounted for in “sub-funds” of the Betterment Fund
(see 2.1 f.).
c. Improvement District General Obligation (GO) Bond
Assessments (Restricted)
The District has historically issued general obligation (GO)
debt and establishes an improvement district for the
repayment of that debt. When this financing method is used,
the county tax roll can be used to collect special taxes or
assessments within the ID to pay the debt obligation. The
proceeds of the debt are restricted for the purpose as
defined in the bond documents.

2.3 Miscellaneous Income
a. Miscellaneous Rents and Leases (General Use)
Revenues received from the rental and lease of District
property are general use revenues. Not only are they
periodic revenues, but there is also a one-time fee charged
with the setup of each new lease. The District incurs
expenses related to these rents and leases. The one-time
fees are calculated to recover the costs to setup the leases.
b. Sewer Billing Fees (General Use)
Sewer billing fees are general use revenues. The District
provides processing and billing services to the City of Chula
Vista to bill and collect from their customers for sewer
service. These fees are to recover the cost the District
incurs to provide this service.
c. Interest Income or Expense Allocation (General Use,
Designated, and Restricted)
Interest income (expense) will be allocated every month based
upon each fund's month-ending balance. In this way, each
fund receives credit for interest earned by that fund and
each fund with a negative balance is charged for the use of
the other fund’s reserves.

2.4 Debt Issuance
a. Loans (General/Restricted Use)
As the District determines that additional financing is
required for a particular purpose, the option of borrowing is
considered. The determination to borrow is made as a part of
the annual rate model update and is evaluated in accordance
with the Debt Policy before it is recommended to the Board
for action. As an option to bond indebtedness, loans are
available to satisfy short-term financing needs. These loans
may or may not be contractually restricted for a particular
purpose.
b. General Obligation (GO) Bonds (Restricted)
As the District becomes more developed it becomes less likely
that general obligation debt will be used as it requires a
vote of the public to be approved. Bond proceeds are
restricted for the construction of those facilities
identified in the GO bond issuance. Occasionally, specific
portions of bond proceeds may be allocated for the repayment
of the principal and interest, also called debt service, on
these bonds. As the District determines that additional
financing is required for a particular purpose, the option of
debt issuance is considered. The determination to issue debt
is made as a part of the annual rate model update and is
evaluated in accordance with the Debt Policy before it is
recommended to the Board for action.
c. Certificates of Participation (COPs) (Restricted)
General revenues of the District are pledged as security for
Certificates of Participation (COPs) indebtedness. If the
District determines that additional financing is required for
a particular purpose, the option of debt issuance is
considered. The determination to issue debt is made as a
part of the annual rate model update and is evaluated in
accordance with the Debt Policy before it is recommended to
the Board for action. This form of financing has become the
industry’s preferred form of financing as it does not require
a vote of the general public.

2.5 Inter-fund Transfers
Each year in the budgeting process, future fund levels are
projected for the next six years. Based on these projections
transfers are recommended. Reserves may be transferred
between Unrestricted or Designated Funds and the General Fund
(see 4.0 “Funding Levels” and 4.1 “Fund Transfers”).
Reserves may not be transferred to or from any of the
restricted funds unless it is between two restricted funds
with a shared purpose.
Fund Types and Categories
3.0 General Funds
a. Purpose
The General Fund is neither restricted nor designated. The
District maintains one General Fund for each business segment
(water, sewer, and recycled). This fund holds the working
capital and emergency operating reserves. While the General
Fund has a short-term focus to finance the District’s annual
operations, it is supported by the six-year rate model. This

fund is primarily used to finance the operations of the
District; however, it can be used for any District purpose.
This fund can be used to supplement the District’s rates and
charges and be a temporary source of revenue to balance the
Operating Budget. This fund can also be used to avoid spikes
in the rates or significant and abrupt increases. It is an
industry practice to have a fund that can be used to
stabilize rates. This would only occur if there was a
temporary need for reserves that would smooth out a rate
spike or to ramp up what would otherwise be a dramatic rate
increase.
The General Fund also plays a role in the debt planning of
the District. This fund is viewed by the debt markets as a
commitment by the District to ensure financial stability of
the rates and charges of the District. The District is
anticipated to need a number of debt issuances over the years
and this fund will help the District not only to stabilize
rate fluctuations but also to access low cost financing for
future projects.

sales.
The sewer general fund receives sewer charges, penalties,
availability charges, sewer annexation fees (calculated on
the “buy-in” basis), and interest income or expense
allocation.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level for each
business segment of the General Fund is three
months of operating budget expenses (evaluated
separately for each segment).

II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
General Fund is nine months of operating budget
expenses. In the event that this fund exceeds the
seven month level, the excess will be evaluated or
transferred to one or more of the designated funds.
III. Target Level – The target level of reserves is
three months of operating budget expenses. In the
event that the fund drops below the target level,
rate increases or fund transfers would be
considered.
3.1 Designated Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Fund
a. Purpose
Designated Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) reserves are
“general use” reserves that have been set apart by Board
action to finance the medical benefits of qualified retirees
as outlined in the District’s benefits plan. This District
fund holds only a portion of the total OPEB reserves. The
other portion is held in a trust at CalPERS and is restricted
for the purpose of financing the OPEB liability. The two
portions are considered jointly when looking at target
reserve levels. Every two years, the fund is evaluated by an
actuary to update the annual financing requirements. Changes
in the actuarial valuation may result from changes in benefit
levels, employee population, health insurance costs, or
general market conditions. The reserves held by the District
are currently designated and may be placed into the CalPERS
trust to legally restrict the funds, removing the District’s
legal access to these reserves.
b. Sources
The OPEB liability may be financed by general use reserves
coming from user rates and charges, either from an operating
budget expenditure or from interfund transfers. Transfers of
unrestricted reserves may come from the various designated
funds or from the General Fund. As a part of the normal
budget process, annual operating revenues have been
sufficient to finance the ongoing needs of this designated
fund. While debt financing is also an option, the District
has only used user rates and charges to finance this fund.

c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. When
considering the reserve level of this fund, both
the District held OPEB reserves and CalPERS held
OPEB reserves must be considered jointly.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. In the event
that the two funds, as described above, exceed the
OPEB liability, the District will reduce the annual
funding levels as defined by the actuarial study.
III. Target Level – The target reserve level for this
fund is equal to the District’s OPEB liability as
determined by the actuarial study. In the event
that the two funds, as described above, fall below
the OPEB liability, the District will increase the
annual funding levels as defined by the actuarial
study.
3.2 New Water Supply Fund Category
a. Purpose
The New Water Supply Fund category is to finance the
expansion portion of new water supply projects and is
therefore to be paid by developers. When considering the
reserve level of the New Water Supply category; the New Water
Supply Fund, the New Water Supply Debt Fund, and the
Designated New Water Supply Fund all work in concert and must
be considered jointly.
b. Sources
The New Water Supply Fund receives reserves only from the new
water supply fee. Other funds within the new water supply
category of funds receive debt proceeds and general use
reserves through a designation to this category.

c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement projects. As the
District moves through its lifecycle the need for
new water supply reserves will decrease and may be
reduced to zero.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
new water supply category of funds is limited to
five years of the unfinanced new water supply
facilities as described in the District’s CIP
Budget. To determine the unfinanced amount, the
total new water supply financing needs must be
reduced by the projected new water supply revenues,
general fund designations, and bond financing. If
the combined new water supply reserves exceed the
target level, the District should consider
transferring designated reserves to meet other
purposes, reduce the new water supply fee, or
change the timing of the new water supply projects.
III. Target Level – In order to facilitate debt
financing of the new water supply, it is important
that the various new water supply funds retain an
overall reserve level of six months, prior to any
attempt to obtain debt financing. This reserve
level allows the District the time necessary to
issue additional debt without depleting new water
supply reserves. If the combined new water supply
reserve levels drop below six months of
expenditures, this would trigger a transfer of
general use reserves, a bond sale, or a change in
the timing of new water supply projects. Bond
proceeds would be placed in the Restricted New
Water Supply Debt Fund while transfers would be
placed in the Designated New Water Supply Fund.

Capital Improvement Fund, and the Designated Expansion Fund.
Potable and recycled reserves are considered jointly while

b. Sources
The Expansion Fund is financed by water charges in lieu of
capacity fees (for temporary meters) and the “incremental”
portion of the capacity fee. The other funds in this
category may also be financed by debt proceeds, annexation
fees, the “buy-in” portion of the capacity fee, and the
general fund through a designation of reserves.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement and betterment
projects. As the District moves through this
lifecycle the need for expansion reserves will

II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
expansion category of funds is limited to five
years of unfinanced expansion facilities as

determine the unfinanced amount, the total
financing needs must be reduced by the projected
expansion revenues, bond financing, and any
restricted or general fund revenues allocated to
this fund category. If the combined expansion
reserves exceed target levels, the District should
consider reducing capacity fees, reallocating
restricted or designated funds to meet other
purposes, or shifting the timing of expansion
projects.

3.4 Replacement Fund Category
a. Purpose
The Replacement Fund category is to finance replacement
projects. When considering the reserve levels of the
replacement category of funds, the following funds work
in concert and must be considered jointly: the
Annexation Fund, Debt Fund, Capital Improvement Fund,
and the Designated Replacement Fund. The purpose of
these reserves is to pay for the replacement of capital
infrastructure and capital purchases. These reserves
are not to be used for the replacement of non-capital
items.
With the District’s development of its financial systems
and the greater need and ability to separate and track
reserves, the replacement reserves have been separated
into three funds: water, recycled, and sewer.
Projects undertaken solely for the purpose of replacing
major capital equipment or facilities, i.e., where the
cost exceeds $10,000 for capital purchases or $20,000
for infrastructure items, generally these are not
considered normal maintenance. When the cost is below
$10,000, the costs are financed annually as operational
maintenance. As charges are incurred on replacement
projects the reserves are deducted from the respective
Replacement Funds on a monthly basis.
b. Sources
The various funds in this category are financed by debt
proceeds, annexation fees, the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee, and general fund designations.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – The minimum reserve level of this
category of funds is 3% of the historical value of
existing assets as identified in the District’s
current financial statements. Potable, recycled,
and sewer replacement are evaluated separately.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level of this
category of funds is 6% of existing assets. If the

combined replacement reserves exceed target levels,
the District should consider transferring
annexation fees or the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee to meet other purposes. Another
consideration would be to shift the timing of
replacement projects.
III. Target Level – The target reserve level of this
category of funds is 4% of existing assets. In the
event that the reserves fall below the recommended
target level, the District should consider
transferring annexation fees or the “buy-in”
portion of the capacity fee. The District should
also consider shifting the timing of replacement
projects or issuing debt to support the planned
level of facility replacement. The District will
act based on the annual six-year rate model, to
insure that at the end of that planning horizon the
reserves exceed the minimum level and is
approaching the target level.

3.5 Betterment Fund Category
a. Purpose
The Betterment Fund category is to finance the
betterment portion of capital projects with a portion
going to maintenance of the potable, recycled, and sewer
systems. The District maintains separate Betterment
Fund categories, one for each improvement district. An
improvement district is a legally defined geographic
area usually established for the purpose of bond
financing of facilities. The betterment reserves within
these funds are restricted by law for use within the
improvement district in which the fees were collected
(Water Code 71631.6). However, the legal restriction of
this reserve depends upon the particular revenue source.
(See Section 2.1 f. for a review of the special rates
and availability fees).
When considering the reserve levels of the betterment
category of funds, the following funds work in concert
and must be considered jointly: the Betterment Fund,
Annexation Fund, Debt Fund, Capital Improvement Fund,
and Designated Betterment Fund.
b. Sources
The Betterment Fund category receives restricted
revenues by improvement district via special water rates
and from availability fees collected through the county
tax roll. Betterment may also be financed by debt
proceeds, annexation fees, the “buy-in” portion of the
capacity fee, as well as the general fund through a
designation of reserves.
c. Funding Levels
I. Minimum Level – As the District matures the CIP
will move to purely replacement projects. As the
District moves through this lifecycle the need for
betterment reserves will decrease and may be
reduced to zero.
II. Maximum Level – The maximum reserve level for the
betterment category of funds is limited to five
years of unfinanced betterment facilities as

described in the District’s CIP Budget. To
determine the unfinanced amount, the total
financing need must be reduced by the projected
betterment revenues, bond financing, annexation,
and general fund designations. If this maximum is
exceeded, then the District should evaluate
reductions in the special water rates and
availability fees, transferring designated reserves
to meet other purposes, or shifting the timing of
betterment projects.
III. Target Level – The target is six months of
betterment expenditures. It is important that the
betterment reserves remain at a minimum of six
months of betterment expenditures. This reserve
level allows the District the time necessary to
issue additional debt without depleting betterment
reserves. If the combined betterment reserves drop
below six months of expenditures this would trigger
a transfer of general use reserves, a bond sale, or
an adjustment to the timing of betterment projects.
Bond proceeds would be placed in the Betterment
Bond Fund while transfers would be placed in the
Designated Betterment Fund.

collected. In this case it is to pay for facilities that
were in existence at the time this fee was established.
These fees may be used for expansion, replacement, or
betterment projects or any debt related to these categories.
These fees may also be used for either the potable or the
recycled systems. As capacity fees are collected, the “buy-
in” portion of the fee is allocated as needed to one of three
capital improvement funds, one in each of the Expansion,
Replacement, and Betterment Fund categories. These reserves
are used to pay debt or offset any negative balance within
these three categories of funds. These fees may not be used
to finance the New Water Supply category, as there were no
new water supply facilities in existence at the time the new
methodology for capacity fees was established.
b. Sources
The “buy-in” portion of the capacity fee collected after
June 30, 2010.
c. Funding Levels
There are no minimums, maximums, or target levels for these
reserves on an individual basis. The allocation of this fee
to the various capital improvement funds is dependent on the
overall reserve levels within each fund category.
4.1 Annexation Fund
a. Purpose
The Annexation Fund’s sole purpose is to track the potable
and recycled annexation fees collected and to ensure these
fees are expended solely for the purpose for which they were
collected. The annexation fees may be used for expansion,
replacement, or betterment projects or any debt related to
these categories. These fees may be used for either the
potable or recycled systems. These reserves may not be used
to finance the New Water Supply category, as it was not in
existence at the time the fee was established. As these fees
are collected they are allocated as needed to one of three
capital improvement funds, one in each of the Expansion,
Replacement, and Better Fund categories.

c. Uses
There are no minimums, maximums, or target levels for these
reserves on an individual basis. The allocation of this fee
to the various Annexation Funds is dependent on the overall
reserve levels within each fund category.
4.2 Debt Reserve Fund
a. Purpose
The Debt Reserve Fund is established to hold the proceeds
from the various debt issuances. There are two types of
debt, General Obligation bonds and Certificates of
Participation bonds. The proceeds are transferred to the New
Water Supply, Expansion, Replacement, or Betterment Debt
Funds as they are expended for various facilities within
those fund categories. As repayment of the debt occurs, the
balances within these individual funds are reduced so that
the financial impact of issuing debt is tracked within the
category for which the debt was issued.
b. Sources
Debt proceeds.
c. Uses
There are no minimums, maximums, or target levels for this
fund on an individual basis. This fund is available on an as
needed basis to fund CIP projects for new water supply,
expansion, replacement, or betterment. From a funding level
perspective, these reserves are evaluated in the context of
all the various funds within each fund category.
Fund Transfers
5.0 Funding Levels
As described in the preceding sections, the District maintains
reserves for its operating and capital activities. These reserves
can be of three types: 1) undesignated or general use reserves, 2)
designated, and 3) restricted for a specific purpose. The
restricted reserves can be restricted geographically and/or by
purpose. The District maintains various funds to track the
various designations and restrictions. The source of the money

for each fund was discussed along with the purpose, source of
funds, and levels. Key characteristics of these funds are the
target levels, minimums, and maximums. The funding levels must be
viewed in the context of the economic environment, political
environment, and in light of the District’s rate model. The
District’s six-year rate model not only shows the current balance
but also shows the trend of the fund balances. Often the trend of
the fund is a greater indicator of financial stability than is the
current balance.
The rate model is updated each year with the budget process and
evaluates each fund over the next six years. The rate model will
take into account the general economic environment, looking at the
development rate, supply rate increases, the possibility of
raising rates, capital infrastructure spending, and strategic plan
initiatives. The fund balances may at times be over or under the
target amount. This is not only acceptable but expected. The
rate model provides an empirical estimate of the conformance
between the projected District’s financial activities and the
guidelines of this policy.
5.1 Fund Transfers
Reserves within the District’s various designated funds come from
interfund transfers of unrestricted general use reserves. It is
important to note that the District has the ability to use general
use reserves for any business purpose. General use reserves may
be transferred to and from any unrestricted fund for any business
need. Designated reserves are general use reserves which have
been set aside for a specific purpose by Board action. These
reserves can only be used for the purpose they were designated, or
with Board action they may be used for any other business purpose.
While general use reserves may be used for any restricted purpose
they may not be transferred to Restricted Funds due to the
sensitivity of the tracking of restricted reserves. If reserves
are needed for a restricted purpose they are transferred to a
Designated Fund within the fund category with that particular
purpose. Reserves restricted to a fund category may only be used
within that category and may not be transferred to another
category. For example, the new water supply fee and the
“incremental” portion of the capacity fee are restricted reserves
for a specific purpose, and may not be transferred to another
category as no other category has the same purpose. However, the

RESERVE POLICY 25 2/10/93 8/1/12

“buy-in” portion of the capacity fees and annexation fees are
restricted for purposes that are shared by more than one category
of funds and may therefore be transferred to a restricted fund
within another fund category as long as it shares the same
purpose.
In many situations reserve transfers are expected as some fund
categories will exceed their maximums or drop below their
minimums. Only fund categories that are below the stated target
are eligible to receive transferred reserves. Fund categories
that exceed their maximums are first to be considered for
transfers out, followed by funds that exceed their targets. Funds
that exceed their minimums are also available for reserve
transfers out, but only when other options are not available.
The rationale for prioritizing reserve transfers is based on the
immediacy of the need and the availability of reserves from other
funding sources. For example, the General Fund is first to
receive reserves when it drops below its target or minimum levels.
This is because of the immediate and ongoing nature of the
expenditures that are served by this fund. The operation of the
District is first and foremost of the objectives of the District.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Replacement Fund has a long-
term perspective and will be used to partially finance replacement
assets for many years to come. Debt financing is available to
respond to this long term, foreseeable, and planned cash flow.
This fund is less likely to have immediate needs and has other
financing options.
When making the determination of when transfers are necessary, all
funds within a fund category work as a group. The combined
balance of the restricted and designated funds is looked at when
determining whether the fund category requires additional funding
from the Restricted Capital Improvement Fund, Restricted
Annexation Fund, Restricted Debt Fund, or the General Fund.
Because the Capital Improvement Fund and Annexation Fund may
finance expansion, replacement or betterment reserves may be
transferred between these fund categories, but only back and forth
within its own type of restricted fund.
As an example, if during the rate model update process it was
determined that the Expansion Funds (designated and restricted)
would drop and stay below the minimum during the six-year planning

horizon, this would trigger a bond sale, a transfer of general use
reserves, and/or a transfer of restricted reserves. If in the
cash planning process, it was anticipated that the General Fund
would remain above target during the planning horizon and that the
trend did not present a problematic underfunded status, then
General Fund reserves would be considered available for transfer
prior to making proceeds available from a bond sale. Also, if
during this period the Betterment Fund category was anticipated to
exceed its maximum, then reserves from either the Designated
Betterment Fund, the Annexation Fund, or the Capital Improvement
Fund would be transferred to the corresponding Expansion Fund
prior to a bond sale. All funds are evaluated to determine which
has the greatest need or availability of reserves before any
reserve transfer recommendation is presented to the Board.

GLOSSARY
The Reserve Policy contains terminology that is unique to public
finance and budgeting. The following glossary provides assistance
in understanding these terms.
Annexation Fees: When water service is requested for land outside
the boundaries of the District, the land to be serviced must first
be annexed. For sewer service the land must be annexed into an
improvement district within the District.
Assets: Resources owned or held by Otay Water District that has
monetary value.
Availability Fees: The District levies charges each year in
developed areas to be used for upgrades, betterment, or
replacement and in undeveloped areas to provide a source of
funding for planning, mapping, and preliminary design of
facilities to meet future development. Current legislation
provides that any availability charge in excess of $10.00 per acre
shall be used only for the purpose of the improvement district for
which it was assessed.
Betterment Fees: In addition to other applicable water rates and
charges, water customers pay a fee based on water service zone or
Improvement District. These fees are restricted for use in the
area where they are collected and may be used for the construction
and maintenance of facilities.
Bond: A written promise to pay a sum of money on a specific date
at a specified interest rate. The interest payments and the
repayment of the principal are authorized in a District bond
resolution. The most common types of bonds are General Obligation
(GO) bonds and Certificates of Participation (COPs). These are
frequently used for construction of large capital projects such as
buildings, reservoirs, pipelines and pump stations.
Capital Equipment: Fixed assets such as vehicles, marine
equipment, computers, furniture, technical instruments, etc. which
have a life expectancy of more than two years and a value over
$10,000.

Capital Improvement Program: A long-range plan of the District
for the construction, rehabilitation and modernization of the
District-owned and operated infrastructure.
CWA: The County Water Authority was organized in 1944 under the
State County Water Authority Act for the primary purpose of
importing Colorado River water to augment the local water supplies
of the Authority's member agencies. The Authority purchases water
from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD)
which imports water from the Colorado River and the State Water
Project.
Debt Service: The District's obligation to pay the principal and
interest of bonds and other debt instruments according to a
predetermined payment schedule.
Expenditures/Expenses: These terms refer to the outflow of funds
paid or to be paid for an asset, goods, or services obtained
regardless of when actually paid for. (Note: An encumbrance is
not an expenditure). An encumbrance reserves funds to be expended
in a future period.
Fund: An account used to track the collection and use of monies
for a specifically defined purpose.
Fund Balance: The current funds on hand resulting from the
historical collection and use of monies. The difference between
assets and liabilities reported in the District’s Operating Fund
plus residual equities or balances and changes therein, from the
results of operations.
Interest Income: Earnings from the investment portfolio. Per
District Policy Number 25, interest income will be allocated to
the various funds each month based upon each fund’s prior month-
ending balance.
Late Charges/Penalties: Charges and penalties are imposed on
customer accounts for late payments, returned payments, and other
infringements of the District’s Code of Ordinances.

1% Property Tax: In 1978, Proposition 13 limited general levy
property tax rates for all taxing authorities to a total rate of
1% of full cash value. Subsequent legislation, AB 8, established
that the receipts from the 1% levy were to be distributed to
taxing agencies according to approximately the same proportions
received prior to Proposition 13. Funds received are to be used
for facilities construction or debt service on bonds sold to build
facilities.
Operating Budget: The portion of the budget that pertains to
daily operations that provide basic governmental services. The
operating budget contains appropriations for such expenditures as
personnel, supplies, utilities, materials, travel and fuel, and
does not include purchases of major capital plant or equipment
which is budgeted for separately in the Capital Budget. The
Operating Budget also identifies planned non-operating revenues
and expenses.
Revenue: Monies that the District receives as income. It
includes such items as water sales and sewer fees. Estimated
revenues are those expected to be collected during the fiscal
year.
System Fees: Each water service customer pays a monthly system
charge for water system replacement, maintenance, and operation
expenses. The charge is based on the size of the meter and class
of service.
Taxes: California Water Code Section 72091 authorizes the
District, as a municipal water district, to levy ad valorem
property taxes which are equal to the amount required to make
annual payments for principal and interest on General Obligation
bonds approved by the voters prior to July 1, 1978.
Unit: A Unit of water is 100 cubic feet or 748 gallons of water.
Water Rates: Rates vary among classes of service and are measured
in Units. The water rates for residential customers are based on
an accelerated block structure. As more Units are consumed, a
higher Unit rate is charged. Effective in 2009, all non-
residential customers are charged for water based on a tiered rate
structure in which water rates are based on meter size and amount
of Units consumed.

STAFF REPORT
TYPE MEETING: Regular Board MEETING DATE: August 1, 2012
SUBMITTED BY: Rita Bell, Finance Manager PROJECT: DIV. NO. All
APPROVED BY:
Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
German Alvarez, Assistant General Manager
Mark Watton, General Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Review of the District’s Investment Policy (Policy
No. 27) and Re-Delegation of Authority for All Investment
Related Activities to the Chief Financial Officer
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board receive the District’s Investment Policy (Policy
No. 27) for review and to re-delegate authority for all investment
related activities to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), in
accordance with Government Code Section 53607.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
Government Code Section 53646 recommends that the District’s
Investment Policy be rendered to the Board on an annual basis for
review. In addition, Government Code Section 53607 requires that for
the CFO’s delegation of authority to remain effective, the governing
board must re-delegate authority over investment activities on an
annual basis. There are no recommended changes to the Investment
Policy and staff is requesting that the Board re-delegate authority
to the CFO.
ANALYSIS:
The primary goals of the investment policy are to assure compliance
with the California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq, and to
protect the principal of the funds. The code provides a broad range
of investment options for local agencies, including Federal
Treasuries, Federal Agencies, Callable Federal Agencies, the State
Pool, the County Pool, high-grade corporate debt, and others. Over
the past years, the size of the District’s portfolio has fluctuated
between $103 million and $88 million due to planned outlays for
construction projects.
AGENDA ITEM 6e
Because of the District’s adherence to a conservative range of
authorized investments, we have been able to maintain a healthy and
diversified portfolio with no investment losses despite an extended
period of turmoil and instability in the national financial markets.
The policy is consistent with the current law and the overall
objectives of the policy are being met.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Demonstrate financial health through formalized policies, prudent
investing, and efficient operations.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

ATTACHMENT A
SUBJECT/PROJECT:
Annual Review of Investment Policy (Policy No. 27) and Re-
delegation of Authority for All Investment Related
Activities to the Chief Financial Officer
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance, Administration and Communications Committees
reviewed this item at meetings held on July 19, 2012 and the
following comments were made:
Staff is presenting the District’s Investment Policy for
the board’s annual review and to request the re-delegation
of all investment related authority to the Chief Financial
Officer as required by Government Code.
It was noted that the District’s Investment Policy has
received certification from the Association of Public
Treasurers of the United States and Canada.
Staff presented an updated Summary of the District’s
Investment portfolio as of June 30, 2012. It was indicated
that the bulk of the District’s investments is in Agency
and Corporate notes. Staff reviewed the District’s current
investments, the percentage that the District’s investment
policy authorizes in each investment, and the actual
percentage the District has invested in the vehicle (please
reference the attached powerpoint presentation). The
District has a total of approximately $88,333,000 in its
investment portfolio.
The objectives of the District’s Investment Policy is to
keep the District’s invested funds in safe investments that
are liquid and provide the best interest return. The
District’s fund performance for FY 2012 is 0.60% return on
Otay funds and 0.40% return on LAIF funds compared to 1.25%
and 0.50% respectively in FY 2011. Staff noted that
interest rates have significantly dropped so returns have
dropped as well.
It was discussed that the Government Code also requires
that the board be provided a quarterly report on the status
of the District’s investments. A “Portfolio Summary”
report is provided the board monthly. Staff indicated that
a copy of the report has been attached to staffs’ report
and an updated copy has been provided at today’s committee
meeting as a figure required for an item within the report
is not available until the 15th of each month. The new
report reflects the updated figure for the item.
The State’s code limits what investments agencies may
invest in. Staff indicated that the District is much more
restrictive/conservative than the investment restrictions
identified in the State’s code. The District’s policy does
not allow some investments or does not allow as high of a
percentage investment in a vehicle that is allowed by the
State’s code.
It was indicated that the District has a laddered portfolio
wherein investments are timed so that approximately $3
million matures every month to assure the District has
funds available when it is needed. The District’s strategy
is to buy and hold investments which is a very common
practice.
The committee indicated that the board is delegating the
authority for the investments to one person, Chief
Financial Officer, and inquired what checks and balances
are in place to protect against possible bad investments.
Staff indicated that the most significant check is that the
District is restricted in what it may invest in, not only
by its own policy, but by the State code and it also is
restricted with regard to the brokers that may be utilized
to purchase investments. The brokers are required to know
the District’s investment policy and are very knowledgeable
in the State’s code.
There are also internal controls. Staff members in the
Finance Department monitor the investments and make
recommendation to the Chief Financial Officers on what
investments should be made and the term of the investment
so that it meets the District’s laddered maturity terms.
The District’s bank, Union Bank, is then requested to
transfer the funds for the purchase and will hold the
actual investment (third party custodian). The transfer of
funds is very controlled and requires authorization from
various levels within the District. It was noted that the
District’s auditors have reviewed this internal control
process and have verified that the controls are solid.
The committee indicated that they felt that there is a good
practice in place and would like to see the practice
documented in a formal procedure. The committee would also
like to see the procedure require that two individuals sign
to authorize an investment purchase in order to provide
“checks and balances.” It was noted that the board,
however, must delegate the investment authority to one
individual per State code.
Following the discussion, the committee supported staffs’
recommendation with a request that a procedure be drafted to
formalize current investment process/practice and that it be
presented for discussion to the committee within 90 days of
today’s date. The committee supported presentation to the full
board as a consent item.

The Otay Water District will diversify its investments by security
type and institution, with limitations on the total amounts invested
in each security type as detailed in Paragraph 8.0, above, so as to
reduce overall portfolio risks while attaining benchmark average rate
of return. With the exception of U.S. Treasury securities, government
agencies, and authorized pools, no more than 50% of the District’s
total investment portfolio will be invested with a single financial
institution.
13.0: MAXIMUM MATURITIES
To the extent possible, the Otay Water District will attempt to match
its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless
matched to a specific cash flow, the District will not directly invest
in securities maturing more than five years from the date of purchase.
However, for time deposits with banks or savings and loan
associations, investment maturities will not exceed two years.
Investments in commercial paper will be restricted to 270 days.
14.0: INTERNAL CONTROL
The Chief Financial Officer shall establish an annual process of
independent review by an external auditor. This review will provide
internal control by assuring compliance with policies and procedures.
15.0: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of
obtaining a rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles,
commensurate with the investment risk constraints and the cash flow
needs.
The Otay Water District’s investment strategy is passive. Given this
strategy, the basis used by the CFO to determine whether market yields
are being achieved shall be the State of California Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF) as a comparable benchmark.
16.0: REPORTING
The Chief Financial Officer shall provide the Board of Directors
monthly investment reports which provide a clear picture of the status
of the current investment portfolio. The management report should

APPENDIX A: GLOSSARY
ACTIVE INVESTING: Active investors will purchase investments and
continuously monitor their activity, often looking at the price
movements of their stocks many times a day, in order to exploit
profitable conditions. Typically, active investors are seeking short
term profits.
AGENCIES: Federal agency securities and/or Government-sponsored
enterprises.
BANKERS’ ACCEPTANCE (BA): A draft or bill or exchange accepted by a
bank or trust company. The accepting institution guarantees payment
of the bill, as well as the issuer.
BENCHMARK: A comparative base for measuring the performance or risk
tolerance of the investment portfolio. A benchmark should represent a
close correlation to the level of risk and the average duration of the
portfolio’s investments.
BROKER/DEALER: Any individual or firm in the business of buying and
selling securities for itself and others. Broker/dealers must register
with the SEC. When acting as a broker, a broker/dealer executes
orders on behalf of his/her client. When acting as a dealer, a
broker/dealer executes trades for his/her firm's own account.
Securities bought for the firm's own account may be sold to clients or
other firms, or become a part of the firm's holdings.
CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD): A short or medium term, interest bearing,
FDIC insured debt instrument offered by banks and savings and loans.
Money removed before maturity is subject to a penalty. CDs are a low
risk, low return investment, and are also known as “time deposits”,
because the account holder has agreed to keep the money in the account
for a specified amount of time, anywhere from a few months to several
years.
COLLATERAL: Securities, evidence of deposit or other property, which a
borrower pledges to secure repayment of a loan. Also refers to
securities pledged by a bank to secure deposits of public monies.
COMMERCIAL PAPER: An unsecured short-term promissory note, issued by
corporations, with maturities ranging from 2 to 270 days.

COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT (CAFR): The official annual
report for the Otay Water District. It includes detailed financial
information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). It also includes supporting schedules necessary to
demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal and contractual
provisions, extensive introductory material, and a detailed
statistical section.
COUPON: (a) The annual rate of interest that a bond’s issuer promises
to pay the bondholder on the bond’s face value. (b) A certificate
attached to a bond evidencing interest due on a set date.
DEALER: A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all
transactions, buying and selling for his own account.
DEBENTURE: A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT: There are two methods of delivery of
securities: delivery versus payment and delivery versus receipt.
Delivery versus payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of
money for the securities. Delivery versus receipt is delivery of
securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DERIVATIVES: (1) Financial instruments whose return profile is linked
to, or derived from, the movement of one or more underlying index or
security, and may include a leveraging factor, or (2) financial
contracts based upon notional amounts whose value is derived from an
underlying index or security (interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
equities or commodities).
DISCOUNT: The difference between the cost price of a security and its
maturity when quoted at lower than face value. A security selling
below original offering price shortly after sale also is considered to
be at a discount.
DISCOUNT SECURITIES: Non-interest bearing money market instruments
that are issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face
value, e.g., U.S. Treasury Bills.
DIVERSIFICATION: Dividing investment funds among a variety of
securities offering independent returns.

FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Agencies of the Federal government set up to
supply credit to various classes of institutions and individuals,
e.g., S&L’s, small business firms, students, farmers, farm
cooperatives, and exporters.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC): A federal agency that
insures deposits in member banks and thrifts, currently up to $100,000
per deposit.
FEDERAL FARM CREDIT BANK (FFCB): The Federal Farm Credit Bank system
supports agricultural loans and issues securities and bonds in
financial markets backed by these loans. It has consolidated the
financing programs of several related farm credit agencies and
corporations.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are
traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through
open-market operations.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB): Government sponsored wholesale banks
(currently 12 regional banks), which lend funds and provide
correspondent banking services to member commercial banks, thrift
institutions, credit unions and insurance companies.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION (FHLMC or Freddie Mac): A
stockholder owned, publicly traded company chartered by the United
States federal government in 1970 to purchase mortgages and related
securities, and then issue securities and bonds in financial markets
backed by those mortgages in secondary markets. Freddie Mac, like its
competitor Fannie Mae, is regulated by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FNMA or Fannie Mae): FNMA, like
GNMA was chartered under the Federal National Mortgage Association Act
in 1938. FNMA is a federal corporation working under the auspices of
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is the

guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payment of
principal and interest.

by Congress and consisting of a seven member Board of Governors in
Washington, D.C., 12 regional banks and about 5,700 commercial banks
that are members of the system.
GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (GNMA or Ginnie Mae): A
government owned agency which buys mortgages from lending
institutions, securitizes them, and then sells them to investors.
Because the payments to investors are guaranteed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Government, they return slightly less interest than
other mortgage-backed securities.
INTEREST-ONLY STRIPS: A mortgage backed instrument where the investor
receives only the interest, no principal, from a pool of mortgages.
Issues are highly interest rate sensitive, and cash flows vary between
interest periods. Also, the maturity date may occur earlier than that
stated if all loans within the pool are pre-paid. High prepayments on
underlying mortgages can return less to the holder than the dollar
amount invested.
INVERSE FLOATER: A bond or note that does not earn a fixed rate of
interest. Rather, the interest rate is tied to a specific interest
rate index identified in the bond/note structure. The interest rate
earned by the bond/note will move in the opposite direction of the
index. An inverse floater increases the market rate risk and modified
duration of the investment.
LEVERAGE: Investing with borrowed money with the expectation that the
interest earned on the investment will exceed the interest paid on the
borrowed money.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and
rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money
market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and
asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those
quotes.

any money made from previous investments) and use it to purchase
various investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, and money market

one which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and
intelligence who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of
capital.
PUBLIC SECURITIES ASSOCIATION (PSA): A trade organization of dealers,
brokers, and bankers who underwrite and trade securities offerings.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these
securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a
fixed price on a fixed date. The security “buyer” in effect lends the
“seller” money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the

extensively to finance their positions. Exception: When the Fed is
said to be doing RP, it is lending money that is increasing bank
reserves.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES:
Water Conservation and School Education:
Cash-for-Plants Program Last FY - In FY 12, over 109,000 sq ft
of turfgrass was replaced with water-smart plants through our
program. MWD is reimbursing us at $.70 per square foot this FY
for up to 72,002 sq ft, or $50,401.40, so the District replaced
109,000 sq ft at a cost of $18,063.60 or $.17/sq ft. We have
received payment for invoices submitted for activity through
the end of March 2012.
MET and CWA’s Cash-for-Plants Program Next FY - MET is in the
process of reconciling its FY 12 totals and has delayed the
start of this year’s program to about the end of July. CWA’s
consultant, WaterWise Consulting, was selected to administer
their $1.50/sq ft rebate program, but it is not expected to
start until the fall. In the interim, the District will be
administering a $1.50 rebate with the $20,000 it budgeted in FY
13. The District hopes to be able to fund 40,000 sq ft of
turfgrass and make it a near seamless transition to the CWA
administered program, but is awaiting word on its allocation
and the official start date.

Human Resources:
Employee Picnic – The Employee Picnic has been scheduled for
September 22nd at Santee Lakes.
Recognition Luncheon – The District’s Recognition Luncheon and
BBQ was held on Wednesday, July 18th. Awards were presented as
follows:
o Employee Excellence Award: Wales Benham -- for his diligent
work with EDEN and CALPERs in successfully developing a
report that could be run and uploaded for reporting funds
due to CALPERS changing their computer system. This yielded
savings of time and money for the District (saves 4 hours
per pay period, which is approximately $9,355 annually).
o Team of Excellence Award: Team comprised of Pat Ashton,
Shannon Coffin, Stephen Martinez, and Allan Raymundo -- for
the last leg of the AMR change-out program, which will be
closing one year early due to the team's great efforts in
working together. This retrofit project will improve the way
meters are read and make significant improvements in how
staff utilizes their time.
Employee Survey - The District conducts an Employee Survey
every few years as a part of the District’s Strategic Plan. The
last survey was conducted in 2010 and the District will be
sending out the survey within the next month or so to all
District employees.

Safety & Security
Inspection of Hazardous Materials Business Plans & Spill
Prevention, Control and Countermeasure Plans - The County of
San Diego conducted an inspection of the Admin and Operations’
plans on June 27th. The inspection went well. The County
inspector was very impressed overall, but was especially
impressed with our recordkeeping and the changes staff has made
to reduce/dispose of waste. Several staff members assisted in
these efforts and it was great to be acknowledged by the
County.
Purchasing and Facilities:
Purchase Orders – There were 163 purchase orders processed in
July 2012 for a total of $18,860,987.40.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND STRATEGIC PLANNING:
Two IT staff members attended the “CityWorks Azteca Systems,
Inc. 2012 Conference” in Park City, Utah, on June 25th - June
28th and also attended the two-day pre-conference training to
learn and understand the features of the system that will
enhance the District’s efficiency and management of both
physical infrastructure and land-focused asset management.
IT staff, along with Finance and Engineering, successfully
completed a new integrated capital budgeting application.
Several reports were created from this application for the
budget book preparation and for rate model development. In
addition, data was passed easily into our existing financial
systems saving time and increasing accuracy.
GIS staff is modifying our GPS application to provide more
useful and accurate reports on vehicle location and driver
behavior. These reports will assist Operations in fleet
management and pinpoint potential safety issues.
IT staff successfully tested software to manage video
surveillance data from cameras, which makes it easier and more
efficient. Staff piloted the new software at the Treatment
Plant and will expand the software to additional sites next
month.
FINANCE:
Call Center Enhancements - Staff is working with the District’s
phone vendor, ATI, to analyze current business processes and
develop enhancements utilizing the District’s phone system.
Examples of these enhancements include looking at ways to
streamline common customer requests through the automated phone
tree and to enhance communications between Customer Service
4
staff and Field staff with regard to the lock and unlock
process.
Rate Study - Staff will be preparing a Request for Proposal to
perform a cost of service study for water and sewer rates.
Every four to five years the rate structure is reviewed to
ensure equity in the rates among customers. Upon completion,
the study will be brought to the Board in early 2013 for
consideration. If approved, the new structure will be entered
into the Rate Model and incorporated in the FY 2014 Budget,
Proposition 218 notices, and the rates that become effective
January 1, 2014.
Financial Reporting:
o For the twelve months ended June 30, 2012, there are total
revenues of $76,242,482 and total expenses of $76,337,211.
The expenses exceeded revenues by $94,729 due to the lower
than budgeted water sales, especially in the first quarter
of the year when the District experienced cooler weather
than normal and earlier rainfall than normal. Some of the
shortfall was made up by savings in payroll, Materials and
administrative expenses.

ENGINEERING AND WATER OPERATIONS:
Engineering:
Rancho del Rey Groundwater Well Development: A separate
internal review meeting and a debriefing meeting with the value
engineering and constructability consultant (Arcadis) to
discuss Tetra Tech’s 90% design submittal was held on June 27th
and July 16th, respectively. The City of Chula Vista provided
comments on July 13th in response to the District’s draft sewer
agreement that was submitted several months ago. The
Sweetwater Authority provided a letter dated July 6th in follow
up to a meeting with Sweetwater Authority and District staff
held the previous month. Additional activities are underway
to secure an Industrial User Discharge Permit from the City of
San Diego, a Hazardous Materials Business Plan from the County,
a power supply from SDG&E, and a storm drain connection for
discharges into the storm drain system. Staff is preparing a
request for a grant from the United States Bureau of
Reclamation. Potentially, 25% of the cost of the project could
be offset if the funds are granted. (P2434)

Otay Interconnect Pipeline: This project consists of
installing approximately 5.2 miles of 30-inch diameter pipe
from H Street in Chula Vista to Paradise Valley Road in Spring
Valley. The project currently has two preferred alignments
(Proctor Valley Road and Corral Canyon Road). San Diego County
Water Authority (SDCWA) staff verbally commented that the
District’s parallel encroachment study did not sufficiently
demonstrate “good cause” for the parallel encroachment along
the Proctor Valley Road during a meeting held at SDCWA offices
on June 27th. Staff, in consultation with SDCWA, evaluated
several Proctor Valley Road alternative alignments and found
them infeasible. Pending upper level management concurrence,
Staff will begin the process of Community Outreach with elected
officials and community groups to use the Corral Canyon Road
alternative. (P2511)
La Presa System Improvements: This project consists of
demolishing the facilities at the La Presa Pump Station Site,
constructing an 850/657 Pressure Reducing Station, demolishing
the Dorchester Reservoir site, and installing several
interconnections in the 640 Zone. In addition, sixty-three
(63) homes surrounding the Dorchester Reservoir site will incur
a pressure increase due to the demolition of the reservoir.
Staff created a rebate program, which the Board of Directors
approved on February 1, 2012, for the installation of new and
upgraded water pressure regulators for the 63 homeowners
associated with the Dorchester Project and the program is
complete. The pressure has been increased and the tie-in is
complete. The contractor, TC Construction, has completed the
demolition of the Dorchester Reservoir. Project is on budget
and anticipated to be completed in August 2012. (P2370)
944-1R Recycled Water Pump Station Upgrades & Enhancements:
This project consists of upgrading the 944-1R Pump Station with
one (1) new pump, new pipe configurations, and electrical
upgrades to keep up with current and future recycled water
demands. The contractor, Sepulveda Construction, Inc.,
continues to install the instrumentation, pump station piping,
and construction of three (3) pressure reducing stations.
Project is on budget and anticipated to be completed in August
2012. (R2091)
Ralph W. Chapman Water Reclamation Facility Upgrade: This
project consists of an upgrade to the treatment plant to reduce
the nitrogen levels in the plant effluent. The upgrade includes
modifications to the aeration basins, the addition of energy-
efficient turbo blowers and replacement of corroded air piping,
a new cover for the filter backwash storage tank, a new filter
air scour system, and automation enhancements. Newest has
completed all the major components of construction. The plant
6
is on line and treating wastewater. Staff and the Design
Consultant, MWH, are working on the programming and
communication processes to operate the plant as designed.
Project is on budget and the project is anticipated to be
completed in August 2012. (R2096)
30-Inch, 980 Zone, Hunte Parkway – Proctor Valley/Use Area:
This project consists of the installation of approximately
2,399 linear-feet of 30-inch steel pipe and appurtenances on
Hunte Parkway at Proctor Valley Road, at the entrance to the
Salt Creek Golf Course, in the City of Chula Vista. Care will
be exercised to not interfere with the Salt Creek Golf Course
business access. The pipeline will increase total water
delivery to reduce pressure losses experienced during periods
of high demand. The Contractor, Sepulveda Construction Inc.,
completed the potholing of connection points and conflicts.
The alignment has been revised to accommodate the actual
elevations of utility conflicts as well as the connection
points. Northwest Pipe will begin manufacturing the pipe in
July with completion expected in October. Project is on budget
and due to the additional potholing and revised alignments
construction is anticipated to be completed in December 2012.
(P2514)
Avocado, Louisa, Calavo, Challenge, Hidden Mesa Sanitary Sewer
Replacement: This project consists of replacing approximately
4,500 feet of sewer pipeline in Avocado Blvd. and neighboring
residential streets. The contractor, Garcia Juarez, completed
sewer replacement on Calavo, Challenge, and Louisa and continues
the sewer replacement on Louisa Dr. Project is on budget and
construction is anticipated to be completed in May 2013.
(S2019, S2020, S2022, S2026)
850-3 Reservoir Exterior Coating & Upgrades: This project
consists of replacing the exterior coating of the 3.0 MG 850-3
Reservoir, along with providing structural upgrades to ensure
the tank complies with both State and Federal OSHA standards, as
well as American Water Works Association and County Health
Department standards. The contractor, Advanced Industrial
Services, Inc., has completed the structural modifications, and
removed the exterior coating. The application of the new
exterior coating is currently underway. Project is under budget
and anticipated to be completed early August 2012. (P2491)
24-Inch, 860 Zone, Alta Road – Alta Gate/Airway Road: This
project consists of the installation of 1,510 feet of recycled
water pipeline in Alta Road south of Calzada de la Fuente in
the County of San Diego through a reimbursement agreement with
International Industrial Park, Inc., the owner of this
development. On June 21st, the District held a preconstruction
meeting with the owner and their contractor to kick-off this
7
project. The contractor, Basile Construction, Inc., has
initiated potholing the alignment for conflicts and pipe
fabrication submittals. Mobilization for pipe construction is
expected in late August or early September due to the long lead
time for valve and pipe delivery. Project is on budget and
construction is anticipated to be completed in December 2012.
(R2077)
For the month of June 2012, the District sold 28 meters (28
EDUs) generating $257,744 in revenue. Projection for this
period was 23 meters (36.7 EDUs) with budgeted revenue of
$320,596. Total revenue for Fiscal Year 2012 was $3,974,340

Water Operations:
On Wednesday, June 6 an unannounced chlorine leak drill was
performed at the Treatment Plant. The pretend “leak” happened a
few minutes after 8:00 AM. All eight active team members
responded and the drill was successful.
The Treatment Plant started up on June 11 after being out of
service since January 11 for upgrades. Plant production was
highly variable during the month due to issues with the new
treatment process. Staff is working with Engineering and the
designer, MWH, to correct the problems and stabilize the
treatment process.
Nitrification levels in CWA’s pipeline remain in the .028 to
.035 range. CWA has increased their flushing efforts at the
Otay 13 surge relief, and have increased pH levels and
chloraminate beyond a 5:1 ratio to combat this condition. Staff
continues to monitor these nitrite levels on a daily basis to
ensure there are no water quality issues for customers.
On Sunday, June 24 an on-call crew responded to an emergency
call to repair a 12-inch AC pipe. It was a potable main break
at the intersection of Jamacha Blvd. and Kempton St. in Spring
Valley. The County is now asking to include a preliminary
geotechnical report which will increase the cost of the repair.
8
The completion of the 944-1 recycled pump station CIP project
has been delayed from the end of June until September. This
could impact our ability to provide recycled water supplied
from the South Bay plant if one of the existing pumps/motors
fails.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW
JUNE 30,2012
INVESTMENT OVERVIEW & MARKET STATUS:
The federal funds rate has remained constant now for over 42-months. On December 16,2008, at the Federal Reserve Board's regular
scheduled meeting, the federal funds rate was lowered from 1.00% to "a target range ofbetween Zero and 0.25%" in response to the
nation's ongoing financial crisis, as well as banking industry pressure to ease credit and stimulate the economy. This marked the ninth
reduction in a row since September 18,2007, when the rate was 5.25%. There have been no further changes made to the federal funds
rate at the Federal Reserve Board's subsequent regular scheduled meetings, the most recent of which was held on June 20, 2012.
They went on to say: "The Committee currently anticipates that economic conditions--including low rates ofresource utilization and a
subdued outlookfor inflation over the medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levelsfor the federal funds rate at least
through late-2014.
Despite the large drop in available interest rates, the District's overall effective rate of return at June 30th was 0.52%, which was an
increase of3 basis points (0.03%) from the prior month. At the same time the LAIF return on deposits has fluctuated slightly over the
last several months,reaching an average effective yield of 0.36%for the month ofJune 20 I2. Based on our success at maintaining a
competitive rate of return on our portfolio during this extended period of interest rate declines, no changes in investment strategy are
being considered at this time.
In accordance with the District's Investment Policy, all District funds continue to be managed based on the objectives, in priority
order, of safety, liquidity, and return on investment.
