Regular Board MEETING DATE: Marl<Watto~Manager W.O.lG.F.NO' Joseph R.ea he ,Chief Financial Officer German A1V,tZ~Assistant General Manager,Administration andFinance~' Adopt Resolution No.4153 Authorizing the Otay Water District to Become a Member of the California Municipal Finance Authority and Authorizing the Execution of a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement for Such Purpose TYPE MEETING: SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: (Chief) APPROVED BY: (Asst.GM): SUBJECT: GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt Resolution 4153 authorizing the General Manager to execute a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement relating to the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA)for the Otay Water District to become a member of the CMFA. COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see Attachment A. PURPOSE: To join the CMFA as a member to facilitate the issuance of water revenue bonds to finance certain projects in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). ANALYSIS: The Otay Water District (District)anticipates issuing approximately $27 million in revenue bonds in the near future to finance its CIP over the next two to three years.The proceeds will be used primarily to diversify the water supply and to expand the reclamation system.Historically,the District has raised money in the debt market to finance its capital projects by causing the execution and delivery of Certificates of Participation (COPs)through its own non-profit corporation,the Otay Service Corporation.The District's existing COPs are secured by installment payments payable from net revenues of the water system and are not subject to non-appropriation risk. Substantively,there is no difference between a revenue-secured COP and a revenue bond issued by the District;the security for both forms of debt is identical.On the other hand,COPs issued by general governments are generally subject to annual budget appropriation.Although the risk of non-appropriation for those transactions is minimal,it remains a market concern.This has resulted in some market confusion in the taxable municipal bond market,where COPs are not traditionally used.The taxable bond market has a marked preference for revenue bonds over COPs.The taxable market's confusion regarding appropriation risk for the two different types of COPs has led to a perception that,in the taxable bond market,should an investor need to sell the bonds before maturity,bonds that are "revenue bonds"would have more liquidity and acceptance in the secondary market. Moreover,given the growing use of taxable Build America Bonds (BABs),facilitating the issuance of revenue bonds will be in the District's best interest in the event it utilizes the BAB provisions.BABs are a new taxable bond financing instrument for which the federal government will reimburse issuers 35%of interest costs over the life of the issue.To the District's advantage,BABs access a broader market of investors.The District's financial advisor has informed the District that the net interest cost between taxable COPs and taxable revenue bonds can average as much as 30 basis points for the entire financing. Given the foregoing,the District staff is proposing that the District and the CFMA establish and create a Joint Powers Authority ("JPA")as a single purpose entity controlled by the District for the sole purpose of issuing revenue bonds for the benefit of the District.However,CMFA will have a very limited role in the bond transaction,and all financial decisions regarding the bonds will be made solely by the District.The CMFA has indicated that,as a condition of the establishment of the new JPA,the District must become a member of the CMFA.The District's staff believes that it is in the best interest of the District and for the benefit of the public that the District becomes a member of the CMFA.-_.-_...•._--~.::~:::::::::~ FISCAL IMPACT ://__~ All costs to become a member of the CMFA and to create the JPA will be paid from the proceeds of the bond issuance.With a bond issuance of $27 million,these costs are not expected to exceed $21,000. STRATEGIC GOAL Ensure financial health through formalized policies,prudent investing,and efficient operations. LEGAL IMPACT: None.

Following the discussion,the committee supported staffs' recommendation and presentation to the full board as an action item.

February 3,2010 P1210- 021000 MEETING DATE: PROJECT / SUBPROJECTS Regular Board Lisa Coburn-Boyd ~cg Environmental Compliance Specialist Ron Ripperger ~ Engineering Manager Rod posad~~' Chief,Engineering Manny Magan~~ Assistant General-Jlanager,Engineering and Operations Certification of the 2009 Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan Update and Approval of the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan Update as a Final Plan and Document APPROVED BY: (Asst.GM): SUBJECT: APPROVED BY: (Chief) TYPE MEETING: SUBMITTED BY: GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION: That the Otay Water District's (District)Board certify that the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR),for the District's 2009 Water Resources Master Plan (WRMP),has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act,the current State Guidelines and the District's local Guidelines and that it reflects the independent judgment of the District.In addition,that the Board finds that the potentially significant effects of the District's 2009 WRMP Update will be avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures shown in the PEIR and the Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program for the PEIR.Lastly,that the District Board approve the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan as the final document. COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see Attachment A. PURPOSE: To obtain Board certification of the Final PEIR for the Otay Water District's Draft WRMP,and approval of the Final Draft WRMP Update as the final document. ANALYSIS: In August 2007,the Board awarded a professional engineering planning services agreement to PBS&J for the preparation of the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan and Program Environmental Impact Report.The 2009 WRMP revises the 2002 WRMP to meet projected water market demands within the District's service area and adjacent areas of influence (WRMP planning area).The 2009 WRMP identifies the necessary potable and recycled water Capital Improvement Program (CIP)facilities and associated probable cost estimates for those facilities and develops a phased approach to implementing the CIP projects.The two phases are,Phase II (2009-2016)and Phase III (2017-Ultimate) The CIP projects identified in the 2009 WRMP Update ensure that an adequate,reliable,flexible,and cost effective potable and recycled water delivery system is developed commensurate with growth within the WRMP planning area,consistent with the San Diego Association of Government (SANDAG)forecasts through 2030. PBS&J identified five primary goals and objectives for the WRMP. These included updating planning criteria,updating the hydraulic model,evaluation of the existing potable and recycled water systems,evaluation of future potable and recycled water systems,and an update of the CIP.The completion of these goals and objectives resulted in the final 2009 WRMP. Part of the process to finalize the WRMP requires addressing the project's environmental impacts through the preparation of a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR).The PEIR provides an overview of the projects identified in the WRMP,and their impacts in terms of air quality/global climate change, biological resources,cultural resources,energy, geology/soils/paleontological resources,hydrology/water quality,landform alteration/visual quality,land use/planning, noise,and public safety.Although the PEIR does not eliminate the need for project-specific technical studies and environmental documents,it can reduce the amount of work required for each project in the future. 2 The draft PEIR was submitted for a 45-day public review period on July 20,2009 and six comment letters were received from the following agencies: •US Fish &wildlife Service and CA Dept.of Fish &Game •City of Chula Vista •San Diego County Water Authority •Metropolitan Water District of Southern CA •State Water Resources Board •San Diego County Archaeological Society PBS&J has responded to these letters and has incorporated their comments into the PEIR.The letters and responses to comments can be found in the Response to Comments (RTC)section at the front of the PEIR. FISCAL IMPACT: None. STRATEGIC GOAL: This project supports the District's Mission Statement,"To provide safe,reliable water,recycled water,and wastewater services to our community in an innovative,cost efficient, water wise and environmentally responsible manner,"and the District's strategic goal,"To satisfy current and future water needs for potable,recycled,and wastewater services." LEGAL IMPACT: No legal impact is anticipated.However,in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act process,the PEIR will have the normal 30-day legal challenge period once recorded with the County of San Diego.The PEIR will be recorded immediately following Board approval. 3 - General Manager P:\WORKING\CIP 00210 WMP &PEIR\Water Resources Master Plan\2009 Draft WRMP &PEIR\Staff Reports\02-03-10,Staff Report,WRMP-PEIR,(LCB-RR).doc Attachments:Attachment A Attachment B (PowerPoint) QA/QC Approved: Name,~r~ Da-vld T-ChtAv-le s 4 Date:13 2o(0 P1210-3321 ATTACHMENT A sUsJiEc;fjPRoiJECT:!'Certification of the 2009 Program Environmental Impact Report for the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan Update and Approval of the 2009 Water Resources Master Plan Update as a Final Plan and Document COMMITTEE ACTION: The Engineering,Operations,and Water Resources Committee reviewed this item at a meeting held on January 21,2010 and the following comments were made: •Staff is requesting that the Board certify that the Final Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR)for the District's 2009 Water Resources Master Plan (WRMP),has been completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act,the current State Guidelines and the District's local Guidelines and that it reflects the independent judgment of the District.In addition,staff recommends that the Board finds that the potentially significant effects of the District's 2009 WRMP Update will be avoided through the adoption of feasible mitigation measures shown in the PEIR and the Mitigation,Monitoring and Reporting Program for the PEIR.Lastly,staff is requesting that the District Board approve the 2009 Water Resources Plan as the final document. •Staff stated that the District hired PBS&J in 2007 to prepare the 2009 update of the 2002 WRMP and its corresponding PEIR.Staff indicated that consultants from PBS&J,Jennifer Duffy and Michael Gonzales,attended the the Committee meeting to provide additional information if needed.It was indicated that Mr.Gonzales was the lead for the PEIR,and Ms.Duffy was a lead for the WRMP.

COMMITTEE ACTION: Please see Attachment A. PURPOSE: To present the Board of Directors with the findings of the 2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey Report. BACKGROUND: The Otay Water District's Strategic Plan calls for conducting a standardized potable and recycled water customer survey program. The purpose of the survey is to obtain information from customers about the District's programs,activities,and services with the ultimate goal of improving customer service. The 2009 survey contacted 300 customers selected at random from those residing within the District's service area.Rea and Parker Research Inc.conducted the survey in both English and Spanish,from December 15 to December 18,2009.The survey has a margin of error +/-5.6 percent at a 95 percent confidence level. As with earlier surveys,the 2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey Report found high levels of overall satisfaction with the District as their provider of water service.However,ratings in this most recent survey were slightly lower than those expressed in earlier surveys -likely due in part to higher water prices and reports of water shortages.For instance,56%of customers rate the District as either excellent (17%)or very good (39%).These ratings are slightly lower than those expressed in 2008,where 63%of customers rated the District as excellent or very good. Additionally,customers have expressed a great deal of confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water.Public confidence has also declined slightly - likely the result of widespread publicity about the current water shortage.For instance,in 2006,94%of customers expressed confidence and only 6%indicated a lack of confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water. This recent survey indicated that 85%of customers remain very confident or somewhat confident,while 15%expressed a lack of confidence. Customers also perceive there has been an upward trend in water rates.While this was also true in previous surveys,it is even more pronounced as 71%of customers perceived the trend in water rates is up (51%in 2008).Likewise,as customers perceive rates increasing,they are increasingly motivated to conserve water (66%in 2009 and 61%in 2008). In other findings,visitation to the District's website continues to increase.In 2005,19%of customers indicated they had visited the District's website.In this most recent survey, 32%of customers report they have visited the website. With regard to desalination,86%of customers feel that desalination as a means of maintaining a reliable water supply is either very important (65%)or somewhat important (21%). Among those customers,59%would also favor an international agreement with Mexico to develop and maintain additional supplies of water. Despite challenges with the water supply and increasing prices, 25%of District customers now rate water service as the utility with the best value for money paid.In the 2008 survey, customers rated only trash collection as a better value than water service. The consultant's conclusion notes,"There are strong indications of support for the work of the Otay Water District and the importance of water among all utilities from the District's customer base.The results of the 2009 survey continue to show that strength.u Furthermore,they conclude by noting,"The results of this survey should be viewed as rptification by the public of the importance and quality of the work done by the District as an expression of the high value to the public of the work in which the Otay Water District is engaged." More complete information on the survey's findings is contained in the Executive Summary and the full report (Attachment C). FISClU,IM),'ACT.~ The cost of conducting the 2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey Report will total $14,250.Full funding for the survey report is included in the General Manager's approved Outside Services budget 11-1211-5261 STRATEGIC GOAL: This proj ect is consistent with the following Strategic Plan Goals: 1.1.1.1 Implement a standardized Potable and Recycled Water Customer Survey. LE<:;AL IMPACT: None. General Manager Attached Attachment A -Committee Action Report Attachment B -2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey Report ATTACHMENT A 2009 Otay Water District Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey COMMITTEE ACTION: The Finance/Administration and Communications Committee reviewed this item at a meeting held on January 19,2010 and the following comments were made: •Doctors Richard Parker and Lou Rea,of Rea and Parker Research,conducted the District's 2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey.It was indicated that the District's customers continue to express a high level of satisfaction with the District (17%excellent and 39%very good for a total 56%),however,compared to the 2008 and 2006 surveys,the percentage has dropped 7%and 9%respectively. It is felt the percentage drop is likely due to water rate increases and the recession.It was noted that the survey has a margine of error of +/-5.6%. •There is also a substantial level of confidence in the District's ability to provide enough water for its customers (39%very confident and 46%somewhat confident for a total of 85%)and the District's customers trust Otay Water District to obtain water at a reasonable price (10%great deal of trust, 29%good amount of trust and 38%some trust for a total of 77%). •It was indicated that the level of confidence in the District obtaining enough water declined as the level of customers' incomes increased.It was felt that this was probably due to these customers being more aware of the current water issues. The committee was interested in further exploring why income impacted customers view and asked that a follow-up question be added to a future survey inquiring if the decline in confidence from such customers was related to price/cost.It was also requested that if there was a comparable reliability question in San Diego County Water Authority's survey that the information be included with the presentation to the District's full board. •District customers have a high level of satisfaction with customer service (39%excellent,25%very good and 18%good Y:\Board\CurBdPkg\GENMGR\Customer Survey 2009 -Attachment A 2-3-10.doc for a total of 82%).This percentage is a little less than past surveys,however,another category,"very good,"was added as a response.If the percentage of "very good" responses was divided between the "excellent"and "good" responses,the percentage would be similar as past years surveys. •It was indicated that respondents to this year's survey cited water as the utility with the best value.In past years, trash collection was cited as the utility with the best value. It was disccussed that this may indicate that water is a highly valued utility,but to truly understand the reasons for this,more questions would need to be asked. •There is increasing interest in conserving,however,the awareness of conservation is increasing faster than interest in conserving.60%of 2009 respondents had a high interest in conserving compared to 54%in 2008,while 63%of 2009 respondencts indicated that their awareness of conservation was increasing compared to 52%in 2008. •71%of respondents indicated that they felt water rates have gone up in the past year and 22%indicated that they felt it has stayed about the same.Of the respondents who felt rates were increasing (the 71%),66%of the group indicated that they were motived to conserve due to the increased cost of water and 32%indicated that they were not motivated to conserve due to the increase in rates.It was discussed that non-caucasian respondents were more motivated to conserve when the cost of water increased while caucasian respondents were not motivated by the increased cost.It was noted that income did not impact responses.The committee asked that Dr.Parker cross-tab the awareness of the rate increase with customer satisfaction issues and include any findings with their report. •28%of respondents indicated that they have heard of/seen and/or visited the Water Conservation Garden.This is a slight increase from 2008 where 22%of respondents have heard of/seen and/or visited the Water Conservation Garden.The committee felt that more must be done to publicize the Garden as there is little progress with current advertising/marketing. •The survey also indicated that of the 27%who have visited the Water Conservation Garden,61%have made changes to their landscapes.This is higher than past years.In 2008,48%of those who visited the Garden indicated that they had made changes to their landscapes. •56%of respondents indicated that they felt the smart meter was useful.Of the respondents who found it useful,98% indicated that they would like to utilize the technology to be informed about leaks,96%indicated that they would like to be notified that their usage is about to trigger increased rates, 87%would like to view and compare water usage charts/graphs over time,81%would like to monitor daily water usage and 60% would like to monitor overall water usage several times per day. •The trend is continuing to be strong for the support of utilizing recycled water to irrigate freeway landscapes,golf courses,and parks with 86%of respondents supporting the use of recycled water.78%of respondents also supported the use of recycled water to irrigate residential front lawns. •Visitors to the District's website has steadily increased over the years from 19%in 2005 to 32%of respondents in 2009. Visitors,however,have lowered their rating of the District's website from 75%rating it excellent or good in 2008 to 56%in 2009.The committee discussed the possible reasons for the decrease in the rating and it was indicated that possibly customers may be looking for updates/changes and may be getting bored with the content.They also discussed exploring if the decrease was connected to increased water rates. •There was a substantial increase in respondents reading the districts newsletter and bill inserts with 32%in 2009 reading the newsletter and bill inserts every time compared to 16%in 2008.Readership of the CCR increased from 30%in 2008 to 42% in 2009. •It was discussed that the survey indicated that customers were not aware of the reasons for the water shortage and requested that staff add information to the District's website. Following the discussion,the committee recommended that the findings of the 2009 Residential Customer Opinion and Awareness Survey Report be presented to the board.

Rea &Parker Research was selected to conduct the study,as it was for the 2005,2006,and 2008 studies.The purpose ofthe research is to: •Determine overall satisfaction with the services ofthe Otay Water District including the level oftrust in the District to provide enough water at reasonable rates; •Determine opinions and perceptions ofvarious issues,including: •Water rates •Awareness and interest in water conservation •Methods ofand attitudes toward water conservation •Attitudes toward recycling and desalination •Attitudes toward the current water shortage •Formal district communication efforts including the official website •Customer service •Relative value ofwater service in comparison to other utilities •Obtain demographic data about the population for use in descriptive analysis and crosstabulations ofdata that can result in new,optimally targeted and tailored public awareness programs. •Compare the results ofthis survey with the results ofthe 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys of District customers. Sample The survey was conducted by a random telephone sample of300 respondents,which equates to a margin oferror of+/-5.6%at the 95%confidence level. Respondents are predominantly White (55 percent)and Hispanic/Latino (28 percent)and earn an annual median household income of$75,700 (26 percent earning $100,000 or more and 8 percent earning under $25,000).They have a median age of 53 years and have been customers of the Otay Water District for a median of 12 years.Among these respondents,51 percent possess a iii Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Bachelor's degree or more,with 17 percent having a high school education or less.Survey respondents are largely homeowners (91 percent)with a mean household size of3.28. Survey Findings This survey report has been divided into nine essential information components as follows: •Demographic Statistics/Sampling Characteristics •Customer Satisfaction,Reliability,and Confidence •Water Rates and Motivation to Conserve Water •Other Water Conservation Issues •Water Shortage •Smart Meters •Written Communication,Publications,and Website •Alternative Water Supplies:Recycling and Desalination •Comparative Rating ofUtilities Customer Satisfaction,Reliability,and Confidence •Otay Water District customers demonstrate a high level ofsatisfaction with the District as their provider of water service with nearly three-fifths (56 percent)rating the District as excellent (17 percent)or very good (39 percent).These ratings are slightly lower than those expressed in the 2006 and 2008 General Surveys-likely due,in part,to higher water prices. •Customers have a great deal of confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water for its customers (85 percent either very confident or somewhat confident).This trust,however,has declined slightly as knowledge of water shortages has become more widespread. •Otay Water District customers also have a substantial amount oftrust in the ability ofthe Otay Water District to provide clean,safe,water for its customers (68 percent either have a great deal oftrust or a good amount oftrust). •About two-fifths (39 percent)of customers have either a great deal of trust or a good amount of trust in the ability of the Otay Water District to obtain water at a reasonable price.However,nearly one-fourth (23 percent)express a lack oftrust in the ability of the District to obtain water at a reasonable price. •Among the 17 percent who called for service in 2009,82 percent indicate that their service was excellent,very good,or good.This is consistent with the satisfaction levels in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys. Water Rates and Motivation to Conserve Water •Otay Water District customers (71 percent)perceive that there has been an upward trend in water rates.Customers in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys perceived an upward trend as well but not nearly to the extent as the customers in the current survey do. •Nearly two-thirds (66 percent)of customers indicate that this upward trend in water rates has motivated them to conserve water.This represents a slight increase among those who were so motivated in 2008. •Among those motivated to conserve water,nearly one-fourth (24 percent)spend less time watering outdoors and over one-fifth (21 percent)take shorter showers. tv Otay Water District 2009 GeneralSurvey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research •An additional 26 percent of customers (beyond those who have already taken steps to conserve)would begin to conserve water ifrates were to increase further. •These steps would include taking shorter showers,spending less time watering outdoors, and installing water saving fixtures. Other Water Conservation Issues •Regarding their level of interest in conserving water,60 percent of Otay Water District customers characterize their level of interest as high and 35 percent as moderate.This level of interest is consistent with the level ofinterest portrayed in the 2008 survey but it is higher than the level ofinterest expressed in the 2005 and 2006 surveys. •When asked how their awareness of water conservation had changed during the past year,63 percent indicate that it had increased.The level of awareness of water conservation has increased substantially over the previous survey periods of2005,2006, and 2008,as would be consistent with the increased publicity that has accompanied water supply issues. •Over four fifths (81 percent)of customers have some landscaping area for which their household is responsible.This is consistent with the overall average from the 2008, 2006,and 2005 surveys. •Among those with landscaping,1 percent of the respondents has a weather-based controller - a decline of5 percent from the 2008 survey finding. •Over three-fourths ofcustomers (77 percent)have automatic sprinkler systems (a decline from 84 percent in the 2008 survey).Those with automatic sprinkler systems adjusted them an average of 4.1 times during the past year.These findings,related to automatic sprinkler systems,are consistent with the 2006 and 2008 surveys. •Nearly one half (48 percent)of respondents have seen or heard of the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College and 28 percent have actually visited it.This is largely consistent with the visiting patters found in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys with a slight increase in cumulative visitation each survey year. •Over three fifths (61 percent)ofthose who visited the Cuyamaca Garden made changes to their landscaping that resulted from that visit.This represents a substantial increase among visitors who made changes to their watering and landscaping practices in 2005, 2006,and 2008. •Among those who made changes,over half (54 percent)changed their landscaping to include plants that are water wise and drought tolerant.Another 17 percent adjusted their sprinklers and/or reduced outdoor water use. Water Shortage •Eighty-five percent of customers recall seeing/hearing messages about current water shortages.This is consistent with the findings ofthe 2008 survey. •Nearly one-third of customers (32 percent)indicate that the single major cause of the water shortage is less rain in San Diego than normal and another 21 percent attribute the water shortage to population growth. •Over three-fifths (63 percent)of customers plan to reduce water usage as a result of the water shortage.Among those who plan a reduction in water usage,the mean planned reduction is 14 percent. •These customers largely plan to reduce water usage by spending less time watering outdoors (21 percent)and taking shorter showers (19 percent). v Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report(January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Smart Meters •Over one-half (56 percent)ofcustomers see smart meters as potentially useful. •Among those who see the smart meter as useful,the dominant majority desire information about leaks (98 percent)and they wish to be notified when their water usage is about to trigger an increased rate (96 percent). •Those interested in these smart meters largely prefer to receive meter information on their computers (70 percent). •Among those who find the smart meter potentially useful,17 percent would pay extra per month to obtain this information.They would be willing to pay an additional mean monthly amount of$6.00. Written Communication,Publications,and Website •Over one-third ofcustomers have an interest in receiving their monthly bill from the Otay Water District bye-mail instead of the postal service.This represents a substantial increase from the 2008 survey findings. •Readership ofthe monthly newsletter and bill inserts has increased from 2008 levels. •Readership ofthe annual Consumer Confidence Report has also increased from the levels found in the 2008 survey. •These increases are likely attributable to increased water rates and awareness of shortages. •Nearly three-fourths of customers (73 percent)do not think it is important that written materials that are sent by the Otay water District be available in Spanish.This finding is generally consistent with the 2008 survey. •Nearly one third (32 percent)of customers have visited the Otay Water District website. This represents a steady increase in visitation since 2005. •Website visitors give the website above average ratings but the current ratings represent a decline from previous survey periods. Alternative Water Supplies:Recycling and Desalination •Using recycled water to water residential front lawns is favored by 90 percent of customers.This is consistent with the 2008 survey but it represents a greater level of support than what was expressed in the 2005 and 2006 surveys. •Customers support the use ofrecycled water for watering landscape along freeways,open space,parks,and golf courses even more so than they do for front lawns -95 percent in favor.This finding is consistent with the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys. •Customers feel that desalination as a means of maintaining a reliable water supply is either very important (65 percent)or somewhat important (21 percent). •Among the 86 percent who indicate that desalination is important,nearly three fifths (59 percent)favor an international agreement with Mexico to develop water supplies from seawater desalination. Comparative Rating of Utilities •Otay Water District Customers rate water as the utility with the best value for the money paid by customers followed by trash collection.This represents a reversal form the findings of the 2008 survey where trash collection was first and water utilities was second. vi Otay Water District 2009 General SurveyReport (January,1010)Rea &ParkerResearch •Using a composite ranking that takes first,second,and third rankings for each utility into account,water remains the utilitywith the best value (as it was in 2008),followed closely by gas and electric and trash collection.Other utilities are far behind these top three by comparison. Conclusions There are strong indications of support for the work of the Otay Water District and the importance of water among all utilities from the District's customer base.The results ofthe 2009 survey continue to show that this strength.For example,in the current survey,water is rated as the best value for the money paid by customers.In 2008,water was a close second to trash collection as the utility with the highest customer value. Otay Water District customers demonstrate a high level of satisfaction with the District as their provider of water service.The 2009 ratings are slightly lower than those expressed in previous surveys and this is likely the result ofhigher water prices.Customers also have a great deal of confidence in the ability ofthe District to provide enough water for its customers.However,this trust has also declined slightly as knowledge ofwater shortages has become widespread. Customers are very aware that water rates have increased,and this knowledge has prompted a greater motivation to conserve water.Further,a significant proportion of customers are aware of the water shortage and many plan to reduce water usage as a result ofthis shortage. Customers continue to support alternative sources ofwater including the use ofrecycled waterfor watering lawns and public landscape.Customers also support desalination and well over half are in favor of an international agreement with Mexico to promote or facilitate desalination. Readership of the bill inserts,the monthly newsletter and the annual Consumer Confidence Report has increased.This trend likely also reflects the increase in water rates and the enhanced awareness of shortages. The results of this survey should be viewed as ratification by the public of the importance and quality ofthe work done by the District and as an expression ofthe high value to the public ofthe work in which the Otay Water District is engaged. vii Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Introduction and Methodology In 1956,the Otay Water District was authorized by the State Legislature and gained its entitlement to imported water.Today,the District serves the needs of over 202,600 people by purchasing water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.The Otay Water District takes delivery of the water through several connections to large pipelines owned and operated by the San Diego County Water Authority.Since its inception,the Otay Water District also has collected and reclaimed wastewater generated within the Jamacha Drainage Basin and pumped the reclaimed water south to the Salt Creek Basin where it is used for irrigation and other non-potable uses. The Otay Water District has elected to conduct a statistically reliable customer opinion and customer awareness telephone survey among its residential customers.The purpose ofthe survey is twofold -first,to provide information concerning customer satisfaction,customer awareness of and reaction to the communication efforts of the District,customer understanding and opinions about water rates,customer concern and activities with regard to water conservation,attitudes and reactions to the current water shortage,feelings about the reliability of the District to maintain reliable sources of water,and second,to compare the results ofthis 2009 study with the results of the 2008,2006 and 2005 surveys of the District's residential customers where the data are comparable. Rea &Parker Research was selected to conduct the study,as it was for the 2005,2006,and 2008 studies.The purpose ofthe research is to: •Determine overall satisfaction with the services ofthe Otay Water District including the level of trust in the District to provide enough water at reasonable rates; •Determine opinions and perceptions ofvarious issues,including: •Water rates •Awareness and interest in water conservation •Methods ofand attitudes toward water conservation •Attitudes toward recycling and desalination •Attitudes toward the current water shortage •Formal district communication efforts including the official website •Customer service •Relative value ofwaterservice in comparison to other utilities 1 Otay Water District 2009 General SurveyReport (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch •Obtain demographic data about the population for use in descriptive analysis and crosstabulations ofdata that can result in new,optimally targeted and tailored public awareness programs. •Compare the results of this survey with the results ofthe 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys of District customers. Sample The survey was conducted by a random telephone sample of 300 respondents in order to secure a margin oferror not to exceed +/-5.6 percent @ 95 percent confidence.This figure represents the widest interval that occurs when the survey question represents an approximate 50 percent-50 percent proportion of the sample.When it is not 50 percent-50 percent,the interval is somewhat smaller.For example,in the survey findings that follow,52.3 percent of respondent households do not recall having seen or heard messages about the Cuyamaca College Water Conservation Garden.This means that there is a 95 percent chance that the true proportion of the total population of the District's service area that has not seen or heard these messages is between 57.9 percent and 46.7 percent (52.3 percent +/-5.6 percent). Survey respondents were screened to exclude those who have not lived in San Diego County for at least one year.When respondents asked about who was sponsoring the survey,they were told "this project is sponsored by the Otay Water District,and it's about issues related to your household water supply." The survey was conducted in both English and Spanish.Spanish language respondents comprised 4 percent of the survey population.The distribution of respondents according to gender was 50 percent male and 50 percent female. The survey was conducted from December 15,2009 to December 18,2009.The total survey response rate is 30.0 percent based upon completed interviews in comparison to all eligible (and estimated to be eligible)phone numbers,including busy signals,answering machines,call backs, and no answers. 2 Otay Water District 1009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Unknown Eli ibilit No Answer Bus Answerin Machine Not Home-Call Back Lan ua e Barrier Total Unknown Ineli ible N <1 ear Disconnect Refusal FaxlWron Number Totallneli ible Total Attem ts Response Rate: Complete/(Eligible +«Eligible/Eligible + Ineli ible)(Unknown» 565 38 750 285 68 1706 2 118 171 141 432 300 2,438 30.0% This survey report has been divided into nine essential information components as follows: •Demographic Statistics/Sampling Characteristics •Customer Satisfaction,Reliability,and Confidence •Water Rates and Motivation to Conserve Water •Other Water Conservation Issues •Water Shortage •Smart Meters •Written Communication,Publications,and Website •Alternative Water Supplies:Recycling and Desalination •Comparative Rating ofUtilities Each section of the report begins with a very brief abstract or summary of highlights within the ensuing section,in order to orient the reader to what is to follow.

Survey Findings Demographic StatisticslRespondent Characteristics Table 2 presents selected demographic and sampling characteristics of the survey respondents. Respondents are predominantly White (55 percent)and Hispanic/Latino (28 percent)and earn an annual median household income of $75,700 (26 percent earning $100,000 or more and 8 percent earning under $25,000).They have a median age of 53 years and have been customers of the Otay Water District for a median of 12 years.Among these respondents,51 percent possess a Bachelor's degree or more,with 17 percent having a high school education or less.Survey respondents are largely homeowners (91 percent)with a mean household size of3.28. Respondent characteristics for the sample survey conducted m 2008 differ from the 2009 respondent characteristics in the following ways: •The median income in 2009 ($75,700)is lower than the median income in 2008 ($83,500). •The percentage of households earning an annual income under $25,000 is 8 percent in 2009 and was 5 percent in 2009. •Nearly one fourth (22 percent)of respondents in 2008 had a high school diploma or less while in 2009,17 percent had a high school education or less. •The average household size in 2009 (3.28)is higher than the average household size in 2008 (2.88)but is very much in the range of2005 and 2006. •The median age ofrespondents is somewhat higher in 2009 (53 years)than in 2008 and previous survey years (47-49 years). •The median number ofyears respondents were customers ofthe Otay Water District is 12 years in 2009 and was less (8-10 years)in 2008 and 2006. ,' i 4 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research White 55%52%55%54% His anic/Latino 28%30%29%24% Asian/Paci IC Islander 8%8%9%15% BlackiAfrican-6%6%6%5% American Native American/Other 3%4%.1%2% Hi h School or Less AtLeast One Year College,Trade,32%28%24%33% Vocational School Bachelor's Degree 39%33%35%25% AtLeast One Year of 12%17%19%28% Graduate Work 5 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Customer Satisfaction,Reliability and Confidence SUMMARY:Otay Water District customers demonstrate a high level ofsatisfaction with the District as their provider ofwater service with nearly three-fifths (56 percent) rating the District as excellent (17 percent)or very good (39 percent).These ratings are slightly lower than those expressed in the 2006 and 2008 General Surveys-likely due,in part,to increased prices.Customers have a great deal of confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water for its customers (85 percent either very confident or somewhat confident).Otay Water District customers also have a substantial amount oftrust in the ability ofthe Otay Water District to provide clean, safe,water for its customers (68 percent either have a great deal of trust or a good amount of trust).This trust,however,has declined slightly as knowledge of water shortages has become more widespread. About two-fifths (39 percent)ofcustomers have either a great deal of trust or a good amount oftrust in the ability ofthe Otay Water District to obtain water at'a reasonable price.However,nearly one-fourth (23 percent)express a lack oftrust in the ability of the District to obtain water at a reasonable price. Among the 17 percent who called for service in 2009,82 percent indicate that their service was excellent,very good,or good.This is consistent with the satisfaction levels in the 2005, 2006,and 2008 surveys. Chart 1 shows that customers ofthe Otay Water District demonstrate a high level ofsatisfaction with the District as their provider of water service.In fact,56 percent rate the Otay Water District as either excellent (17 percent)or very good (39 percent).These ratings are slightly lower than those expressed in the 2006 and 2008 General Surveys.For example,in 2008,63 percent of customers rated the Otay Water District as either excellent orvery good. •It is quite likely that customers are responding to recent increases in water rates inasmuch as the mean satisfaction among those who believe that rates have increased over the past year is lower (mean =2.57 on a scale of 1 =excellent and 6 =very poor)in contrast to a mean of 2.14 among those who do not think that their rates have increased or are not certain. • A further indication of lower satisfaction among those who see their rates as having increased is that 53 percent of those who feel that their rates have increased label their satisfaction with the Otay Water District as excellent (13 percent)or very good (40 percent)versus 64 percent (26 percent excellent and 38 percent very good)for those who do not think that rates have increased. 6- Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (Jarmary,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Chart 1 Overall Satisfaction with Otay Water District as Water Service Provider 100% 90% 80% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 2009 2008 2006 •Excellent •Very Good IIGood •Fair •Poor I3Very Poor Chart 2 indicates that there is a great deal ofconfidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water for their customers (85 percent very confident or somewhat confident and 15 percent expressing a lack of confidence).These ratings are consistent with the level of confidence portrayed in the 2008 General Survey.However,both the current survey and the 2008 survey demonstrate a slight decline in the level of confidence from the 2005 and 2006 surveys.For example,in the 2006 survey,94 percent expressed confidence and only 6 percent indicated a lack of confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water.The substantial publicity that the current water shortage has experienced is likely to be a factor in this general decline in confidence. •Confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water for their customers increases with education (82 percent for customers with less than a bachelor's degree versus 89 percent for customers with a bachelor's degree or more). •Asians and Whites are more confident than Latinos in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water (means:Asians =2.0;Whites =1.9;Latinos =1.6,on a scale where 1 =very confident,2 =somewhat confident,3 =not very confident,and 4 =not at all confident). 7 Gtay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research •Customers with an annual income of $150,000 and above are less likely to express confidence in the ability of local water agencies to provide enough water than are customers in each of the other lower income levels from $25,000 to $100,000 (means: $150,000 and above =2.3;$25,000 and under $50,000 =1.7;$50,000 and under $75,000 =1.8;$75,000 and under $100,000 =1.6,on a scale where 1 =very confident,2 = somewhat confident,3 =not very confident,and 4 =not at all confident).

Chart 4 shows that nearly two-fifths (39 percent)of customers have either a great deal of trust (10 percent)or a good amount of trust (29 percent)in the ability of the Otay Water District to obtain water at reasonable prices.Nearly one quarter of customers lack trust in the District's ability to provide water at reasonable prices -not much trust (17 percent)and no trust at all (6 percent). •Females tend to have more trust than do males in the ability ofthe Otay Water District to provide water at a reasonable price (means:female =2.7;male =3.0,on a scale where 1 =a great deal of trust,2 =a good amount oftrust,3 =some trust,4 =not much trust,and 5 =no trust at all. •Those respondents who believe that their water rates have increased over the past year have less trust in the ability of the Otay Water District to provide water at a reasonable price (mean =2.97 among those who believe that rates have increased versus 2.42 for those who do not think that rates have increased or are not sure). 9 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Chart 4 Trust in Otay Water District to Obtain Water at Reasonable Price No Trust at All,6%Great Deal ofTrust,10% Some Trust,38% Good Amount of Trust, 29% Chart 5 indicates that 17 percent ofcustomers have called the Otay Water District for service or help in the past 6 months.This is consistent with the call rate in the 2006 survey but a substantial increase from the 2008 survey where only 10 percent of customers called the District for service or help.In 2005,19 percent of customers called the District for help over a 12 month period. Among the 17 percent who called for service in 2009,82 percent indicated that their service was either excellent (39 percent),very good (25 percent),or good (18 percent)(Chart 6).This is consistent with the satisfaction levels in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys.For example,in 2006, 84 percent of those who made calls for service rated their service as either excellent or good.It should be noted that in the 2009 survey,the "very good"option was provided to respondents for the first time. 10 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Chart 5 Percentage Who Have Called Otay Water Districtfor Service/Help in Past Six Months 19% 20% 18% 16% 14% 12% 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% 2009 2008 2006 2005 Chart 6 Satisfaction with Customer Service (among 17%who had called for service) •Excellent •Very Good •Good IJIFair •Poor •Unsure 11 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Water Rates and Motivation to Conserve Water SUMMARY:Customers (71 percent)perceive that there has been an upward trend in water rates.Customers in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys perceived an upward trend as well but not nearly to the extent as the customers in the current survey do.Nearly two-thirds (66 percent)ofcustomers indicate that this upward trend in water rates has motivated them to conserve water.This represents a slight increase among those who were so motivated in 2008.Among those motivated to conserve water,nearly one- fourth (24 percent)spend less time watering outdoors and over.one-fifth (21 percent) take shorter showers. An additional 26 percent ofcustomers (beyond those who have already taken steps to conserve)would begin to conserve water ifrates were to increase further.These steps would include taking shorter showers,spending less time watering outdoors,and installing water savingfIXtures. Chart 7 indicates that 71 percent ofrespondents believe that water rates have increased over the past year and 22 percent think that rates have stayed the same.A substantially smaller percentage of customers in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys thought that water rates increased than did the customers in the 2009 survey.For example,in 2005,33 percent thought water rates increased;in 2008,51 percent thought rates increased -20 percent less than the comparable percentage in the current survey.It is also noteworthy that the percentage of respondents,who are not sure,has steadily declined since the 2005 survey from 34 percent to 5 percent in 2009. The following relationships,related to changes in water rates,are significant: •Homeowners (72 percent)are more likely to believe that water rates have increased in the past year than are renters (57 percent). Among those,who think that water rates have increased,two-thirds (66 percent)indicate that these higher rates have motivated them to conserve water.This represents a 5 percent increase among those who were so motivated to conserve in the 2008 survey.It is noteworthy that this 5 percent increase moved from the "not sure"category (7 percent "not sure"about higher water rates motivating conservation in 2008 to 2 percent "not sure"in 2009)(Chart 8). 12 Otay Water District 2009 GeneralSurvey Report (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Chart 7 Trend in Water Rates··Past Year 2009 2008 2006 71"10 .Gone Up •Stayed About the Same IIGone Down .NotSure 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70%80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Chart 8 Higher Water Rates Have Motivated Conservation (among 71"10 who believethat rates have increased) 66% 13 Otay Water District 2009 GeneralSurvey Report (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Chart 9 shows that among the 66 percent ofcustomers who indicate that higher water rates have motivated them to conserve water,during the past 6 months,nearly one-fourth (24 percent)spent less time watering outdoors and over one-fifth (21 percent)took shorter showers.A smaller percentage of customers washed only full loads of dishes and clothes and watered outdoors fewer days per week -each 10 percent. The following relationships,associated with conserving water,are significant: •Customers whose preferred language of interview is English are more likely to conserve water by taking shorter showers and by washing full loads of dishes and clothes than are customers whose preferred language of interview is Spanish (English:showers --21 percent and dishes/clothes - 8 percent; Spanish:showers-13 percent and dishes/clothes - 0 percent). •In an effort to conserve water,customers whose preferred language of interview is English (27 percent)are more likely to spend less time watering outdoors than are customers whose preferred language of interview is Spanish (3 percent). •Collecting and reusing water is particularly high among Spanish speaking interviewees (38 percent).

Over four fifths (81percent)ofcustomers have some landscaping area for which their household is responsible.This is consistent with the findings ofthe overall average from the 2008,2006,and 2005 surveys.Among those with landscaping,1 percent of the respondents has a weather-based controller -a decline of5 percentfrom the 2008 survey finding.Over three-fourths ofcustomers (77percent)have automatic sprinkler systems (a decline from 84 percent in the 2008 survey).Those with automatic sprinkler systems adjusted them an average of4.1 times during the past year.These findings, related to automatic sprinkler systems,are consistent with the 2006 and 2008 surveys. Nearly one half (48 percent)of respondents have seen or heard of the Water Conservation Garden at Cuyamaca College and 28 percent have actually visited it. This is largely consistent with the visiting patterns found in the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys with a slight increase in visitation each survey year.Over three fifths (61 percent)ofthose who visited the Cuyamaca Garden made changes to their landscaping that resulted from that visit.This represents a substantial increase among visitors who made changes to their watering and landscaping practices in 2005,2006,and 2008. Among those who made changes,over half(54 percent)changed their landscaping to include plants that are water wise and drought tolerant.Another 17percent adjusted their sprinklers and/or reduced outdoor water use. Awareness and Interest in Conservation:A series of questions was posed to residents of the Otay Water District service area concerning interest and awareness of water conservation. Respondents were asked about their level ofinterest in conserving water with no indication about whether this question pertained to indoor or outdoor usage -60 percent of households characterized their level ofinterest as high,35 percent as moderate,4 percent as low,and another 1 percent has no interest.This level ofinterest is consistent with the level ofinterest portrayed in the 2008 survey.Both the 2009 and 2008 surveys represent a higher level of interest than was expressed in the 2005 survey (40 percent expressed high interest)and in the 2006 survey (45 percent expressed high interest --Chart 11). •Interest in conserving water is particularly low in the lower income category (under $25,000 -83 percent). •Interest in conserving water increases significantly after the age of 25 (means:18-24 = 2.5;25-34 =1.6;35-44 =1.4;45-54 =1.5;55-64 =1.4;and 65 and above =1.4,on a scale where 1 =high level of interest,2 =moderate interest,3 =low level ofinterest,and 4 =no interest at all). 16 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Chart 11 Household's Level of Interest in Conserving Water 100% 90% 80% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% •High Intl9rest •Moderate Interest •Low Interest •No Interest 2009 2008 2006 2005 When asked how their awareness of water conservation had changed during the past year,over three-fifths (63 percent)indicate that it had increased while 28 percent said that it had remained the same (Chart 12).The level of awareness has increased substantially over the previous surveys (52 percent felt that their awareness of water conservation increased in 2008;this awareness-related percentage was 34 percent in 2006 and only 26 percent in 2005. 17 Otay Water DistrictZ009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research Chart 12 Household's Awareness of Water Conservation During Past Year 2009 2008 2006 2005 0%10%20%30%40%50%60%70% 80%90%100% •Increasing •Stay the Same •Decreasing •Not Sure Landscape:Chart 13 indicates that 81 percent of customers have some landscaping area for which their household is responsible.This is consistent with the findings ofthe 2008 survey and with the overall mean since the 2005 survey of72 percent. The following relationships,associated with responsibility for outdoor landscaping,are significant: •Homeowners (83 percent)are more likely to have outdoor landscaping for which someone in the household is responsible than are renters (61 percent). •Homeowners (89 percent)are more likely to have landscaping that includes a lawn than are renters (77 percent). •Responsibility for outdoor landscaping increases with income (under $50,000 -67 percent;$50,000 and above -86 percent). •Responsibility for outdoor landscaping increases with education (63 percent for customers with a high school education or less versus 86 percent for customers with one year ofcollege or more). 18 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &ParkerResearch Chart 13 Landscaping/Lawn 2009 2008 2006 2005 •Landscaping Responsibility and Lawn IILandscaping Responsibility and No Lawn •No Landscaping Responsibility 0%20%40%60%80%100% In Chart 14,it is demonstrated that 1 percent of the respondents has a weather-based controller and 76 percent have automatic sprinklers.This finding represents a decline of 5 percent among those who had a weather-based controller in 2008 and also a decline in those who indicated they had automatic sprinklers (77 percent in 2009 and 84 percent in the 2008 survey).Those who adjust their automatic controller do so an average of4.1 times per year,and this is consistent with the number oftimes respondents adjusted their sprinklers in 2008 (4.4 times per year).

Water Shortage SUMMARY:Eighty-five percent of customers recall seeing/hearing messages about current water shortages.This is consistent with the findings of the 2008 survey. Nearly one-third of customers (32 percent)believe that the single major cause ofthe water shortage is less rain in San Diego than normal and another 21 percent attribute the water shortage to population growth.Over three-flfths (63 percent)of customers plan to reduce water usage as a result ofthe water shortage.Among those who plan a reduction in water usage,the mean planned reduction is 14 percent.These customers largely plan to reduce water usage by spending less time watering outdoors (21 percent)and taking shorter showers (19percent). Chart 18 demonstrates that 85 percent of customers recall seeing/hearing messages about current water shortages.This is quite consistent with the findings in the 2008 survey.Nearly one-third (32 percent)of customers indicate that they believe that the single major cause of the water shortage is less rain in San Diego than normal and another 21 percent attribute the water shortage to population growth (Chart 19). 23 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research The following subgroups are more likely to recall seeing or hearing messages about the current water supply shortage: •Homeowners (87 percent)versus renters (64 percent). •Asians (96 percent)and Whites (92 percent)versus Blacks (83 percent)and Latinos (73 percent). •Customers whose preferred language of interview is English (84 percent)versus customers whose preferred language of interview is Spanish (54 percent).

Nearly one third (32 percent)ofcustomers have visited the Otay Water District website. This represents a steady increase in visitation since 2005.Website visitors give the website above average ratings but the current ratings represent a decline from previous survey periods.

Alternative Water Supplies:Recycling and Desalination SUMMARY:Using recycled water to water residential front lawns is favored by 90 percent ofcustomers.This is consistent with the 2008 survey but it represents a greater level ofsupport than what was expressed in the 2005 and 2006 surveys.Customers support the use ofrecycled water for watering landscape along freeways,open space, parks,andgolfcourses even more so than they do forfront lawns -95 percent in favor. This finding is consistent with the 2005,2006,and 2008 surveys. Customers feel that desalination as a means ofmaintaining a reliable water supply is either very important (65 percent)or somewhat important (21 percent).Among the 86 36 Otay Water District 2009 General Survey Report (January,2010)Rea &Parker Research percent who indicate that desalination is important,nearly three fifths (59 percent) favor an international agreement with Mexico to develop water supplies from seawater desalination.

Customers are very aware that water rates have increased,and this knowledge has prompted a greater motivation to conserve water.Further,a significant proportion of customers are aware of the water shortage and many plan to reduce water usage as a result ofthis shortage. Customers continue to support alternative sources ofwater including the use ofrecycled water for watering lawns and public landscape.Customers also support desalination and well over half are in favor ofan international agreement with Mexico to promote or facilitate desalination.

The second was a process for doing rate changes in our billing system that has a much higher level of quality assurance and formally documents a critical process. •On February 4th ,Geoff Stevens will conduct a presentation on Asset Management and GIS (with Ming Zhao)at the ESRI Regional Conference.Geoff Stevens will also be presenting papers on Performance Management at the Utility Management Conference on February 23rd . 3 FINANCE: •Payment Options Expanded -As a customer of Union Bank,the District is a part of a larger electronic network of businesses.One of the benefits of this association is that our customers are now able to make water payments at a number of retail businesses,the most well known being Wal-Mart. Customers can make their water bill payment at any Wal-Mart in the nation for a small processing fee of $0.88 and have their payment deposited at the District within three days. For an additional $1.00,the payment will be made the next day.In the past,the District has made special arrangements with a few businesses in Chula Vista so customers could make payments closer to their homes.However,this new payment option opens up a number of convenient payment locations and at a lower fee. •Updated Web Payment Options -Staff has been working with one of the District's current vendors on a number of improvements to the District's web payment portal.Currently,customers may login to the District's web payment portal to see limited information on balances and make credit card payments.In order to expand payment options and web reliability,staff is working with our current bill print vendor,InfoSend,to enhance our web service to customers.with this expanded service,customers will be able to view and print prior bills online and make automatic monthly ACH payments using their credit cards.Both of these services have been frequently requested by our customers and are unavailable with our current web payment portal. •Electronic Bill Presentation -In conjunction with the new web payment options mentioned above,customers who register will have the option to receive their bill electronically, saving the District the cost of generating and mailing hard copy bills.This is a more environmentally friendly option that the District intends to encourage with customers. •Debt -Staff is working to finalize the bond documents for the pending debt issuance.These documents are anticipated to be brought to the Board on March 3rd for approval.The expected sale date of the bonds is in late March.This debt is necessary to fund CIP projects over the next two to three years.The proposed amount of debt will be based on the District's rate model,which is going through final revisions. •Banking Fees -With the current review of banking services and costs,staff has worked with the bank representative to reduce the monthly banking fees by approximately $900 per month.This is a direct result of the Board's recommendation 4 and staff's efforts to review the quality and cost effectiveness of the banking services provided. •Water Sales -As of January 22,2010,water sales were 7.1% below budget.It is expected that,due to significant rainfall in January,this number will rise over the next month.However,rainfall in the winter months when outdoor water usage is low,it is not expected to affect the budget nearly as much as rainfall that occurs during months when outdoor water usage is high.

F:/MORPT/FS2009-1209 1/25/2010 2:19 PM OTAY WATER DISTRICT INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW DECEMBER 31,2009 INVESTMENT OVERVIEW &MARKET STATUS: The federal funds rate has remained constant now for over 12-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 December 15,2009. They went on to say:"The Committee continues to anticipate that economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels ofthe federal funds rate for an extended period." Despite the large drop in available interest rates,the District's overall effective rate of return at December 31st was 1.47%,which was a decrease of7 basis points (0.07%)from the prior month.At the same time the LAIF return on deposits has dropped over the last several months,reaching an average effective yield of 0.57%for the month ofDecember 2009.Based on our success at maintaining a competitive rate ofreturn 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.
