WORKSHOP
6.REVIEW OF PROCESS TO DEVELOP THE OPERATING AND CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT BUDGETS
1
Accounting Manager Rita Bell indicated that in January of each year,the finance
department prepares budget workbooks for each department in which
information is requested from each department.The workbooks include:
•Budget submittal deadlines
•An overview of the budget and instructions on what is a capital item and
where it should be budgeted,which forms to use,etc.
•Historical expenditure data of past budgets
•Operating budget worksheets from the prior year which helps staff see
what they had budgeted for in the past year and determine any changes
required
•Personnel procedures and forms which are submitted to the Human
Resources Department for review and evaluation.
She indicated with regard to the personnel procedures,each department
evaluates their staffing needs and submits forms requesting new personnel,
reclassifications,advancements or temporary staffing needs to Human
Resources.Last year,departments were also required to prepare long-term
staffing plans to determine staffing needs based on changes and new efficiencies
at the District.It was indicated that the long-term plans are determined over a
six-year timeframe and includes reviews of any vacancies/anticipated vacancies
to evaluate if personnel can be shifted based on changes in workload and
priorities.
It was discussed that the District has been reducing its staffing for many years as
the District had noted the trend in 2005 and 2006 that the real estate market was
slowing.It was indicated that when a vacancy occurs,the duties of the position
are reviewed and it is determined if they still apply and if the position is still
required or can be reallocated.Staff also notes when workloads are peaking and
decide if the needs can be filled with temporary staffing instead of hiring a new
staff member.
Accounting Manager Bell indicated that the Human Resources Department
reviews staffing requests with each of the Chiefs and then makes
recommendations to the Assistant General Managers and General Manager.
Once staffing plans are complete,the information is submitted to the Finance
Department and it is input into the "Position Budgeting Module."This tool is
utilized to calculate salary,benefits,etc.The module is very sophisticated and
can adjust salaries and leave based on length of service and will calculate total
benefits and salary costs.The costs are then allocated to funds (operating and
CIP)based on Labor Budget Worksheet allocations submitted by each
department.
She stated with regard to the Administrative and Materials Budget,staff utilizes a
budgeting module and submits budget requests that must be justified and aligned
with:
•The Strategic Plan
•Regulatory Requirements
2
•Daily Workload Requirements
•Cost and Volume Changes
•Prior and Current Year Expenses (to Ensure Budget Request are
Reasonable)
It was noted that the budget is developed from the bottom up and each item
included in the budget is evaluated (a percentage inflator is never utilized).Staff
provides detailed information for each line item to justify its need (line item
budget)and the information is maintained within the budget for future reference.
Finance then reviews each budget line item request with the General Manager
and Assistant General Managers.Any changes or questions are reviewed with
each department chief and changes are input into the Rate Model.These final
requests are reviewed again with the General Manager and Assistant General
Managers.
Finance also examines current water sales volume and determines water sales
for the current fiscal year.They then estimate future volume water sales based
on projected growth (as determined by the Engineering Department),
consumption demands/conservation,and the weather.This year,CWA also
determined water allocations for each of the member agencies due to the water
shortage.Staff,thus,must ensure that the water sales projection is within the
District's allocation.
Water purchase volume is based on projected water sales and includes District
usage needs and estimated water loss.The water purchase price is obtained
from the District's water suppliers,CWA,MWD and City of San Diego.
I
To determine the budget for sewer,staff obtains projected costs from Metro
Wastewater and the Spring Valley Sanitation District.Staff then determines
sewer customers'winter-average water use and calculates ASU's for commercial
customers.Staff then determines rates based on projected sewer treatment
costs and customers'sewer volume.
Power is also very connected to water sales due to pumping costs.Staff
examines current power use for potable,recycled,sewer,and the administrative
buildings and utilizes the information to project power costs based on SDG&E
projected rates.
Staff also projects anticipated revenues from fees and charges which include:
•Capacity Fees which are based on anticipated workload in the planning
and development services areas of Engineering.Capacity fees support
these activities.
•Betterment Fee which is based on anticipated workload for preventative
and corrective maintenance on the District's facilities in the betterment
IDs.This fee supports maintenance and construction expenses.
•Meter and Annexation Fees are based on meter sales as projected by
Engineering.
3
They also project non-operating revenues which include:
•Rents and Leases which are based on current and projected leases and
scheduled lease increases.
•Grants which are based on input from department staff of anticipated grant
funding to be received.
•Miscellaneous revenues based on analysis of each item and the related
revenue sources such as work orders,reimbursements,etc.These items
are difficult to anticipate,so staff looks at what has occurred in the past
and assumes about the same.
Accounting Manager Bell indicated that once all of this data has been collected
and reviewed by staff and management,it is loaded into the Rate Model along
with other rate model data,such as,the CIP budget,grant revenue,interest
rates,debt issuances,etc.based on the rules of the District's Rate Model.The
rules are defined by the District's Reserve Policy,Investment Policy,etc.
It was noted that there are two main issues the District must consider when
looking at the Rate Model.Due to the economy,actual growth was not in line
with the budget.The District's Financial Advisor feels that the rating agencies
will require that the District increase its debt coverage ratio targets to maintain its
rating.The big challenge is determining what the debt coverage ratio target
should be (how much net revenue vs.debt payment should the District have;the
more net revenue the stronger your debt coverage ratio).The other challenge is
determining what conservation level we expect our customers to achieve.
Determining what the District wishes to set for these targets is what will drive
rates along with the rate increases from CWA.'
Director Breitfelder inquired if Chief Financial Officer Beachem could provide the
board an idea of how a percentage increase in the debt ratio would impact rates.
Chief Financial Officer Beachem indicated that the District's Financial Advisor
had indicated that without growth revenues,100%debt coverage ratio is strong.
With growth revenues,the debt coverage ratio should be at 125%.For the
District to get to 125%,it would add about 2 or 3%on the rate increase.The
District is close to 120%even without debt ratio considerations.He noted,
however',that the District does not have CWA's rates at this time and that it is
premature for him to talk about specific rates.The projections,however,are
within this zone.
Chief Financial Officer Beachem also indicated that if there was greater
conservation then what is projected in the budget,it would translate into lower
sales and the District would need to raise rates to compensate for the fixed costs
that are not being recouped from sales.He indicated that staff will present to the
board in approximately a month the scenarios for the board to consider and the
final recommendations will be presented in June 2009.
4
He stated the District is looking at issuing $40 million in debt in Fiscal Year 2010
in order to build planned facilities.Having a strong credit rating is essential so
the District may lower the costs of these planned facilities.
At the May budget workshop,Accounting Manager Bell indicated that staff will be
presenting the:
•Proposed Operating and CIP budgets
•Rate Model assumptions and results
•Recommended rate increases
•Draft Proposition 218 notices
o It was noted that General Counsel will be distributing an opinion to
the board that the District can propose rate increases over a five-
year period within the Proposition 218 notices as long as a
schedule is provided
The board requested that staff provide,for the budget workshop,a five-year
history of the grants received by the District and projections for FY 2010.
Staff will be requesting that the board adopt the proposed Operating and CIP
budget,recommended rates and approve the Proposition 218 notices in June.It
was discussed that a date for a hearing will be determined for sometime in
August 2009.
Accounting Manager Bell indicated that once the budget has been approved by
the board,each department monitors and reviews their budget to actual variance
reports and explains any variance that is more than 10%over or under budget or
that is more than $3,000.Finance staff also monitors water sales,purchases,
and other revenues and expenses and compiles a monthly comparative report.
The monthly comparative report is reviewed by Senior Management and
presented to the board.
President Croucher requested that staff provide information to the board that
discusses the areas where the District has scaled back expenses so that they
may answer questions from the public.He noted a few items:
•Staffing has been reduced over the last five years through the
implementation of Information Technology.The implementation of
technology has assisted the District in creating efficiencies and,thus,
reducing staffing needs.It was requested that staff present where the
District is (actual headcount reduction)over the last five years.
•Should Proposition 1-A be implemented,are there other areas that the
District can reduce costs.
•How does the District assure that it is maximizing reclaimed water use and
if the 85%fee is still appropriate?
•Budget impact of Steele Canyon Golf Course's unexpected reduction in
water consumption through their use of well water for irrigation purposes.
5
•Are there options for groundwater storage?Should the District's water
consumption be under CWA's allocation,can the water be placed in
storage and utilized during times when the District is over its allocation.
•When does the District expect to receive water from the Rosarito
Desalination Project?
Director Breitfelder inquired if the District is hearing news about developments.It
was discussed that there will be minimal growth and that construction is not
expected to improve until the end of calendar year 2010.
Director Breitfelder also inquired how much is spent on Strategic Planning over a
year.It was indicated that there are many meetings with staff,monthly updates
are entered,etc.It would be very difficult to estimate.The Strategic Plan is also
looked at every day and is linked to daily tasks.Staff would need to review and
see howa value can be placed on it.
Director Robak inquired if staff is comparing the AWWA benchmarks with the
District's budget.General Manager Watton indicated that the District is just
starting with the AWWA benchmarking.Staff is currently working on correlating
some of the benchmarking information with the District and establishing good
metrics/data to compare against the industry.
Chief of Engineering Rod Posada then presented on how staff develops the
District'sCIP Budget.He indicated that the development of the CIP Budget is a
multi-department endeavor and the process starts with reviewing the growth
projections for the next couple of years and determining through developer
projections and internal tools the meter sales for the next six fiscal years.
I
Staff als<;>evaluates construction costs through the Engineering News-Record
Construction cost Index (ENR)which reports on the cost trends for construction
materials and labor and their numbers are utilized within staff projections.
The Integrated Water Resources Plan,Water Resources Master Plan,Sewer
System Management Plan,Sub Area Master Plan and Urban Water
Management Plan are utilized to determine required facilities.Staff also reviews
the condition of existing facilities;operating system requirements;water,
recycled,and sewer system deficiencies;regulatory and permitting requirements,
etc.to develop the six-year CIP Budget.
Chief of Engineering Posada indicated that the departmental chiefs also indicate
their needs within the CIP Budget.Staff then reviews the CIP and determines
which projects must be budgeted within the next six-year CIP Budget and
compares last year's CIP Budget with the proposed FY 2010 budget.He
indicated that last year staff had projected that the District would spend $26.8
million in FY 2010 and after reviewing,it is proposed that the FY 2010 budget
should be $36.9 million.The reason forthe increase is the 36-inch Pipeline
Project was not constructed,as planned,in FY 2009 and the cost for construction
has been moved to the FY 2010 CIP budget.It was noted that the delay was
due to the District needing to terminate the design contractor's contract for the
6
project.Staff also indicated that major projects represent approximately 70%of
the FY 2010 CIP Budget at a cost of $25.6 million.There are approximately 100
projects planned for the upcoming fiscal year for a total cost of $36.9 million.
Staff expects that CIP expenditures for the next six years will total $172.6 million.
It was discussed that the bids on the 36-inch pipeline were very good.The
engineer's estimated cost for the project was $19 to $22 million and the lowest
responsive bid was $16.2 million for the project.There were three bids that
came in at the same level;between $16.2 and $16.6 million.It was indicated that
CCl was the top bidding firm and is an excellent firm.
President Croucher inquired if the much lower cost for the 36-inch pipeline
project was taken into consideration when determining the FY 2010 budget.
Staff indicated that the lower cost was integrated into the budget.
The board recessed at 11:05 a.m.and reconvened at 11:14 a.m.
7.DISCUSSION OF BOARD GOVERNANCE AND PROCESS,
President Croucher indicated with regard to Directors'reports that they should be
more of a report and to comply with the Brown Act,there should be no interaction
or questions.He indicated that he would like to try to keep the board meetings to
a two hour limit and he has received this input from other members of the board
as well.He stated that if there are items that still need discussion and would
extend the meeting to three or four hours,they should be scheduled for another
meeting.
He indicated that the use of committees has helped streamline the review
process as members have an opportunity to review agenda items and the
committee discussion prior to board meetings.He stated that he has also
received feedback from the committee and directors that items for discussion
must be reviewed by the appropriate committee.He indicated he recognized this
and that an effort will be made to do so.
President Croucher indicated with regard to board meetings that if only one
member:will be unable to attend a meeting,that a scheduled meeting would
continue as scheduled unless the topic of discussion is very important.He asked
board members to notify District Secretary Susan Cruz when they will be unable
to attend a meeting and if she receives notification that two or more board
members will be unable to attend a meeting,she can alert the President of the
Board and the General Manager.
He noted with regard to closed session,there was a request to receive closed
session items prior to board meetings.It was indicated that direction has been to
provide closed session reports at meetings,however,they can be provided in
advance.President Croucher indicated that he felt that we are at a point where
closed session reports can be forwarded prior to board meetings so members
may have an opportunity to review the reports prior to the meetings.It was
requested that hard copies be forwarded with the board materials.
7
With regard to emails to the board,President Croucher requested that all emails
addressed to board members be sent to the members as a blind copy.This
would prevent board members from accidentally replying to all and violating the
Brown Act.It was noted that all board member emails regarding District
business is a public record.President Croucher indicated that he would also like
to try and implement an AB 1234 form where Board members may provide a
written report on per diem meetings that they have attended rather than providing
an oral report at board meetings.The form would satisfy the oral reporting
requirements of AB 1234 and would also assist with the time efficiency of board
meetings.He stated that board members would forward the form to District
Secretary Cruz and it would be published with the minutes.It was indicated that
District Secretary Cruz would email the form to the Board members following
today's meeting.
8.CROSS BORDER UPDATE
General Manager Watton indicated that he had invited the District's consultant,
Mr.Hector Mares,to provide a cross border update to the board.However,Mr.
Mares had a conflict on his schedule and was unable to attend.General
Manager Watton indicated that Mr.Mares had provided an update report and
powerpOInt presentation which he will present on his behalf.He noted items on
Mr.Mares report which included:
Mexico Politics:
•The elections to renew the Federal Congress in Mexico will take place this
year.This will be very important to the Mexican President reforms
regarding the issues of the foreign investments in PEMEX.
•Currently,the surveys indicate that the PRI Party will win the majority in
the Congress,but it will not be enough to rule it,so the President must
negotiate with the PRI.
•In the case of BAJA Politics,Governor Osuna Millan is working well and
has strong political control in the Baja Congress where his party rules and
in four of the five cities of the State.
•In the issues of the new maritime Port in Punta Colonet has been stopped
at this moment due to the global financial crisis.
Security Issues:
•At the Federal level,President Calderon has confronted organized crime
and there has been a strong backlash from criminals.
•In the states of Baja California and Chihuahua,kidnappings and murders
have gone up,but with cooperation from the Mexican Army and the United
States Government have caused crime to go down by 80%.
CESPT:
•CESPT Director,Hernando Duran will be presenting at SANDAG on May
5 and staff from Otay has been invited.Chief of Engineering Rod Posada
will attend on the District's behalf.The presentation that Mr.Duran will be
8
providing at SANDAG is the same powerpoint presentation that will be
provided at today's meeting (see attached copy of presentation).
•Mr.Duran announced on live radio and television the joint venture project
with Otay and indicated that they are currently looking for a site.
•CESPT is working with the City of Imperial Beach on the 2009 Investment
Program where the objective is to eliminate the raw wastewater
discharges to the Tijuana River,Tijuana and Rosarito Beaches.
General Manager Watton then presented Mr.Duran's presentation for SANDAG.
He indicated that CESPT is the state water and wastewater utility that provides
service to the cities of Tijuana and Playas de Rosarito.They have 1,764
employees and serve over 500,000 homes and businesses.Ninety percent of
CEPT's water supply comes from the Colorado River.He presented a slide
which shows the Tijuana River watershed which is shared between the United
States and Mexico.He noted that a majority of the water drains into the Tijuana
River Valley and Imperial Beach.He stated that this is the area which Mr.Duran
has indicated that he wishes the United States and Mexico to work together as
the water shortages become more critical.It was noted that both countries have
signed minutes in 1944 to avoid transboundary discharges and,in 1985 and
1990,the United States and Mexico signed minutes to rehabilitate Tijuana's
sewage system and for the construction of an International Treatment Plant in
San Ysidro.CESPT's initiative is to eliminate raw wastewater discharges to the
Tijuana River,Tijuana and Rosarito Beaches. The initiatives include:
•New wastewater infrastructure
•Contingency Plan for preventative maintenance and emergency backup
generators in pump stations
•Sampling,inspection and stream discharge audits I
CESPT also has developed objectives for the use of recycled water within their
services area which includes:
•Considerably increasing the green areas for Tijuana and Playas de
Rosarito
•Increasing the consumption of recycled water to 20%in the year 2013
•Installation of purple pipe lines throughout the city where recycled water is
available
•Reduce treated water discharges to the Pacific Ocean
The board expressed interest in touring Tijuana's water and wastewater facilities.
Staff indicated that tours would be scheduled in the near future.
9.LEGISLATION UPDATE
Ms.Chris Frahm,consultant to the District,provided an update on the legislative
bills that they track for the District.She indicated that in the handouts she
distributed,the first tab provides a list of legislative bills wherein she has
highlighted those that the District might have an interest in;the second tab
provides a list of the water bonds that have been proposed;the third tab reviews
9
the StatEl budget;and the last tab is a report on what the California State
Governor has developed for the Federal Stimulus monies.
She stated that she and General Manager Watton would be reviewing the bills at
the staff level.She noted that many times the reports from CWA do not cover all
the District's issues.She stated that at the capital everyone pushes their own
interests and often the local retail agency positions are "traded"as everyone
must "trade out'positions.She stated that it is helpful to have information about
the big picture,however,it is not a substitute for looking at your own particular
situation at the local level.
Director Robak indicated that he would like to see recycled water regulations
loosened so its use could be expanded.Ms.Frahm indicated that she believed
that therEl would be more funding available for recycled water and that there are
many groups that are working to fix the regulatory challenges.She stated that it
still has a long way to go,but because of the water supply crisis,you will see
people willing to do things and move in directions that have been challenged in
the past.
General Manager Watton indicated that staff would be handing out a survey on
potable reuse at the May board meeting.He stated in 2005,the survey indicated
that 80%of the respondents were not interested in discussing potable reuse.
However,today that figure is 12%and 60%would consider potable reuse (±3%
error).
Ms.Frahm indicated that with regard to the Delta,there are three main issues
that are being discussed:
•Protecting the Delta
•Conveyance
•Governance
She stated that there likely would be a battle between northern and southern
California and it is felt that if a package was developed,it would be very limited
with regard to water supply and certainly would not take the place of locally
developed resources.With regard to the federal stimulus package,it is felt that
the monies would most likely go to fix the State's budget issues.It was noted
that if the state is unable to pass some of their budget-related propositions,the
State deficit will climb to approximately $55 billion.
Director Bonilla inquired what percentage of the District's budget grants
represented.General Manager Watton indicated that the District received $5
million from the State with Ms.Frahm's assistance.The District also received a
few million from the Federal Government under Title XVI and Congressman
Filner was able to acquire funding for this fiscal year and it is estimated that the
District will receive approximately $3 million of that funding.
10
It was discussed that the water district's in Sacramento are also being cut back
on their Delta draws,similar to the full State.Ms.Frahm indicated that the key to
the future is taking control of those issues that you can control.
10.ADJOURNMENT

join the t,eam.
5.PRESENTATION REGARDING THE GLOBAL WATER BRIGADES
Mr.JC Guerreiro,Reclamation Plant Operator III,provided a presentation on the
Global Water Brigades which is a non-profit organization that he had become
involved with while a student at San Diego State University.He stated that the
organization has more than 1500 volunteers from 50 universities throughout the
United States and provides communities in developing countries with sustainable
solutions that improve quality of life.It is the world's largest student led
1
international development organization and is broken down into two divisions;
Health and Development.Thee Water Brigades was founded in 2008 under the
Health division when it was realized that many health issues could be prevented
if water quality was improved.It was estimated that:
•1.4 million child deaths occur from diarrhea
•2.2 million people die from water-related illnesses every year
•500,000 deaths occur from malaria
He noted that more deaths occur from water borne illnesses than from gun
violence and war.He indicated that the Water Brigades selected to work in
Honduras because it is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere
(Haiti is the poorest,however,it is not safe to send students to their country).
Honduras does have a national water and sewer agency,SANAA (Servicio
Autonomo Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados).However,they
decentralized in 2003 due to the lack of service quality,the economy and
damage caused by hurricane Mitch.He stated that SANAA now focuses on
Honduras'big cities and the rural communities are required to handle their own
water and sewer services.The rural communities,however,were not trained
and this is where the Water Brigades is assisting in training the rural communities
to build and maintain their water systems.The SDSU volunteers worked in EI
Corralito,Honduras and found that the problem was not the quantity of water
available,but the quality of the water in their water system.The Water was
contaminated in the spring boxes of the water system because the water sits in
the boxes for a long time and creates a cesspool which is filled with
bacteriological activity.The students traveled the entire EI Corralito water
system to map it and used a piece of equipment (HACH Pocket Colorimeter)
donated by the Otay Water District to analyze the chlorine residuals.Using this
equipment,they were able to analyze the system and determine that they were
not using enough chlorine in their water system and contaminated water was
being delivered to the residents of EI Corralito.He thanked the Otay Water
District for its donation of a HACH Pocket Colorimeter which is the first piece of
equipment to be included in the newly founded water quality analysis program for
the Global Water Brigades.He stated that future projects for the Water Brigades
includes a meeting with Ms.Diane Bentancor,who manages the Central America
region for Water for People and to continue training communities to manage their
systems.
6.PRESENTATION OF CHECK FOR THE MONIES RAISED FROM THE WATER
AGENCIES STANDARD'S CHARITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
Public Services Manager David Charles indicated that four months ago he and
his co-Chair,Engineering Manager Ron Ripperger,along with Helix Water
District and Padre Dam Municipal Water District decided to organize a golf
tournament (Water Agencies Standards Golf Tournament)to strengthen working
relationships among the water agencies.In discussions with Mr.JC Guerreiro,it
was decided to turn the golf tournament into a charity event with proceeds from
2
the tournament donated to the Water Brigades.Sponsorships were received
from both public and private firms raising $3,141 for the Water Brigades.Public
Services Manager Charles presented the check to Mr.Guerrreiro who accepted it
on behalf of the Water Brigades.As Otay coordinated the event,it was decided
that it would retain the trophy for the year.The Water Agencies Standards Golf
Tournament trophy was presented to President Croucher who accepted it on
behalf of the District.

ACTION ITEMS
10.ENGINEERING AND WATER OPERATIONS
a)APPROVE A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO CCl CONTRACTING,
INC.FOR THE JAMACHA ROAD 36-INCH POTABLE WATER PIPELINE
AND 12-INCH POTABLE WATER PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
IN AN AMOUNT NOT-TO-EXCEED $16,189,243
Associate Civil Engineer Bob Kennedy indicated that in 2006 the District entered
into an agreement with San Diego County Water Authority (CWA)regarding the
implementation of the East County Regional Treated Water Improvement
Program (ECRTWIP).He presented a slide showing the alignment of the
Jamacha Road 36-inch pipeline which begins at lexington Avenue and Third
Street in EI Cajon and travels south to the District's Regulatory Site.This
pipeline will fulfill the requirements of the ECRTWIP agreement and provides an
alternate source of locally treated water which reduces the demand to the
Skinner Treatment Plant located in Riverside.
He stated that another component of this project is the replacement of 12"and 8"
pipeline located on Jamacha Road between Hidden Mesa Road and Hillsdale
Road.The construction of the pipelines will be primarily through trench and
backfill except for a small portion located on the southeasterly portion of
Cuyamaca College where it will require 400 feet of micro tunneling.There is also
a requirement that the construction within the Caltrans right-of-way on Jamacha
Road be done at night.I
He indicated that staff has prepared a comprehensive public outreach program
for the project.It includes a website,hotline and mailings to property owners
affected by the construction.
He noted that the agreement between CWA and Otay regarding the ECRTWIP
included a minimum water purchase guarantee of 10,000 AF/year beginning
March 1,2010.He indicated that the upgrade of Flow Control Facility No.14.
(FCF No.14)should be completed by July 2009.With CWA's approval,a
temporary connection will be connected to the upgraded FCF No.14 where Otay
proposes to take water from CWA to minimize potential CWA penalties
associated with the ECRTWIP Agreement's minimum water purchase guarantee.
The temporary connection will be removed once the 36-inch pipeline is complete.
Associate Civil Engineer Kennedy indicated that it was discussed in the
Engineering,Operations and Water Resources Committee that staff has
estimated with the limited capacity of the la Mesa/Sweetwater Extension and the
low demand for the remaining months of the year,that the District would be
about 2500 AF short of the agreement to take !O,OOO AF for the first year.An
estimate of the amount of the penalty is in the range of approximately $350,000.

He stated that the project was advertised for bid on the District's website and
several other publications on March 6,2009.A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting
was held on March 24,2009.He indicated that twelve bids were received and
publicly opened on April 23,2009.He stated that CCl Contracting,Inc.had
submitted the lowest bid.
He indicated that the project will be funded through CIPs P2009 and P2038 and
that they will be sufficient to support the funding of the project.He requested that
the board award the construction contract to CCl Contracting,Inc.in an amount
not-to-exceed $16,189,243 for the construction of the Jamacha Road project.
President Croucher indicated that the Engineering,Operations and Water
Resources Committee reviewed this item in detail.He stated that CCl
Contracting,Inc.has worked with Helix Water District,CWA and other
contractors and they received very positive references.District staff also felt that
CCl Contracting,Inc.was a quality company.Staffs'report was very thorough
and extensive and the committee felt confident,however,because this was a
large contract,the committee did not feel comfortable moving forward with this
item until it was presented to the board as a whole.He indicated that one of the
committee's concerns was the issues that occurred with the previous design
contractor and he thanked lee &Ro,Inc.for there efforts in moving the project
forward.He stated that the committee was pleased that the District will have an
extensive public outreach program to respond to community concerns and that
the District can minimize some of the penalties from CWA by taking water
through the la Mesa/Sweetwater connection.
Associate Civil Engineer Kennedy introduced Mr.Brian Lusky of CCl
Contracting,Inc.Mr.Lusky indicated that he is a Civil Engineer and handles
project management,bidding and office work for his firm.His partners,Tom
Carmichael and Jim Corbit handle the field work.They are a local firm and have
been in business for eight years specializing in building water pipelines and
public works projects.Mr.Lusky reviewed their firm's plan for the construction of
the Jamacha Pipeline Project and indicated that they would start with the
construction of the 12-inch pvc pipeline in the first part of July for approximately
two months.Steel pipe should be delivered in the first week of September and
his firm will then start the night work on Brabham Street to Gustavo Street which
will take approximately four months.They then will start the work near
Cuyamaca College and continue the pipeline back to Brabham Street.Once this
is complete,their firm will go back to Gustavo Street and finish the line through
the residential neighborhoods to FCF No.14.

to approve staffs'recommendation.
Communications Officer Armando Buelna reviewed the public outreach plan for
the 36-inch pipeline.He stated that staff worked closely with Marston &Marston
to develop a proactive community outreach plan.The plan has a number of
elements which include a:
•Website (JamachaPipeline.com)
•24 hour hotline
•Project specific signage
•Quarterly Newsletter
•Fact Sheets for the community and elected officials
•Post cards announcing the beginning of construction
•Regular meetings with important stakeholders in the community,such
as,the business community,HOA's,fire emergency responders,etc.
He stated that because the pipeline runs close to the Cuyamaca Community
College,staff had met with various committees of the college,including the
Safety and Facilities Committee, President's Council,and most recently,the
Sustainability Committee.The District was also asked to meet with another
college committee later in summer.Staff met with the Valle de Oro Planning
Group,the Water Conservation Garden,Rancho San Diego Chamber of
Commerce,Spring Valley Citizens Association and the Jqmul Dulzura Planning
Group.
He stated in future,the District plans to continue meeting with the HOA's,the
business community and residents.The plan includes sending information cards
to the residents along the alignment at the beginning of the project and when the
project is completed.The card will indicate when the construction of the project
will commence,that construction will take approximately 16 months to complete,
and the hotline number and the website where they can get updated information.
He noted that both the hotline and website provide information in both English
and Spanish.The purpose of the outreach plan is to provide the surrounding
community and various stakeholders the opportunity to have their questions and
concerns addressed promptly,to positively increase public knowledge,develop
support for the project,and to be a good neighbor and community partner.
It was discussed that several hundred homes are located along the pipeline
alignment and the largest concern is the construction vehicles'back-up alarms
disturbing the residents during the night work.It is hoped that by providing the
community information prior to the construction of the pipeline,the residents will
understand the reason for the pipeline and the construction disturbance.It was
also discussed that residents can also be added to an email list to receive
updates.

REPORTS
13.GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT
GENERAL MANAGER'S REPORT:
General Manager Watton indicated that the District is working closely with law
and fire enforcement and has sent a request to become a member of the
Regional 3C's program for communications and response to disasters.He
stated that many agencies are starting to recognize that water is an important
aspect to fire and disaster response and the District hopes to become a member
of the program.
He indicated that the District submitted a comment letter to DWR regarding the
draft's plan which targets a 20%reduction in the State's urban per capita water
use by the year 2020.He stated that the District has some concerns which are
noted in the letter (copy is attached to the General Manager's report).
He commended Information Technology Chief Geoff Stevens and GIS Manager
Ming Zhao for being invited once again to present at this summer's ESRI
International Conference.He noted that this is one of the largest conferences
hosted in San Diego and is attended internationally.
7
General Manager Watton noted that staff has reduced the District's exposure to
the State fund,Local Agency Investment Fund (LA/F).While state law currently
prevents the State from borrowing these funds,such legislation could change.
As staff did not wish to have this exposure,they have reduced the monies
invested in LAIF.It is expected that the State will be out of money in July and
there is talk about the state possibly taking tax revenue from special districts.
The State Controller,however,is advocating that the State not borrow such
monies as it would affect his ability to borrow money in July to fund the State's
payroll.
He noted the graph on page eight of his report regarding FY 2009 Potable Water
Purchases.He stated that the District's bOClrd took an action to stay at a Drought
Alert Level I and while the District reserves the right to come back and
reevaluate,the consumption numbers show that the District's customers are still
conserving.Thus,at the moment,no change is needed.
SAN D/EGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY UPDATE:
General Manager Watton indicated that Otay and Sweetwater Authority remained
at a Drought Level I Alert and all other agencies declared a Level II Alert at
varying degrees.He stated that there was a lot of activity at CWA for fines,fees
and penalty rates,however,this seems to have fallen off.He stated that this
reinforces the District board's decision to stay at a Level I Alert.He noted that in
a couple months it may change,but at the moment the District is on the right
course.
He also reported on the Camp Pendleton Desalination Prbject.He stated that
CWA had a workshop and it was requested that staff bring back a more thorough
analysis of the water supply expected from the project,cost and the impact on
existing facilities.He stated that he would like to see better analysis of the
project before getting too far along with the publicity on the project.
Director Robak indicated that he has heard that the water supply from the project
was reported as approximately 150 MGD.General Manager Watton indicated
that there is discussion in sizing it from 50 to 150 MGD.The discussion of the
project was initiated by CWA and they approached Camp Pendleton.
President Croucher also reported that CWA will have the groundbreaking
ceremony for the San Vicente Reservoir in July 2009.He also noted that there
are discussions regarding the Bay Delta fix versus desalination and whether both
projects can be funded.He stated that the MWD Delegates are focusing on
determining their "core values;"what services they should be providing.Should
their services be recreational,vouchers/rebates,or purely responding to water
issues.He stated that CWA held a legislative forum with Congressman Hunter
(Jr.)and he was interested in water issues and asked that the agencies not only
bring him the issues,but the solutions to the issues so he may represent them to
the legislature.He note that CWA will be holding a couple other legislative
8
forums and he will share the information with the board should they have an
interest in attending.
14.DIRECTORS'REPORTS/REQUESTS
Director Robak indicated that he attended the Water Conservation Summit
yesterday and felt that it was worthwhile.He stated that it was good to see many
private sector attendees.He indicated that one of the items they discussed was
their new brand and he felt that it was very well thought out.He indicated that if
the agencies universally push the new slogan it can be very successful.
Director Lopez indicated that he will be attending the AWWA Annual Conference
where 13,000 are expected to attend.He stated that he has been receiving a lot
of constituent calls regarding the District maintaining its Drought Level I Alert and
the District's budget.He indicted that the comments were mixed,but for the
most part,many indicated that they felt that the District was moving in the right
direction.
Director Bonilla commended Communications Officer Buelna for his good work
on media outreach,particularly on the recent Channel 10 coverage of the District.
He indicated that he has received calls from constituents supporting the District
on its decision to stay at a Level I Alert.He also indicated that he had requested
information at the Finance,Administration &Communication Committee
regarding the amount of potable and recycled water being utilized to irrigate SR
125.He indicated that the report he received indicates that a lot of potable water
is being utilized for the irrigation of SR 125.He stated he would like to agendize
for discussion at the next Finance,Administration &Communications Committee
what infrastructure/investment is needed to irrigate SR 125 with 100%recycled
water as,he has received inquiries from his constituents if potable water is being
utilized to irrigate the freeways.President Croucher suggested that staff work
with Sweetwater Authority to discuss which potable irrigation meters near the
Sweetwater Reservoir on SR 125 could possibly be converted to recycled
meters.
Director Breitfelder thanked President Croucher for appointing him as the
District's representative to the Metro Commission.He stated that he considered
the Metro Commission to be an important appointment and he would do his best
to represent the board on the commission.He also indicated that he attended
the Water Conservation Summit and was gratified that there has been an
evolution in the water community that was evident at the summit.He stated that
he was pleased to see key players taking lessons from other stakeholders and
disciplines and incorporating the idea that people need to be "appealed"to in an
emotional way to make changes.He stated a very important component to that
change is making the public aware of what is available to create that change and
to increase demand for creating conserving landscapes.
15.PRESIDENTS REPORT
9
President Croucher indicated that he attended the Water Conservation Summit,
as well,and was very impressed.He stated that it was very informative and
Supervisor Dianne Jacob,CWA Chair Bud Lewis and Helix Water District
General Manager Mark Weston had acknowledged at the Summit that Otay
Water District was a leader in certain areas of the industry.He also spoke with
CWA General Manager Maureen Stapleton and they had discussed that
attendance of the Summit will be recommended to new directors with CWA going
forward as it is great for educational purposes.He noted that the KUSI/Channel
9 news recently reported that the uppermost reservoir off of the Colorado River
was the fullest it has ever been.He indicated,however,the reservoir is actually
still only at 54%of capacity and California still has a water shortage issue.He
indicated that it is frustrating as the agencies have put a lot of effort and money
into educating the public on the water issues and in a one minute media news
report,all efforts must start over again.He indicated that he,however,is happy
that the District's customers have heeded the messages and are continuing to
conserve.He noted that he felt that the District's investment in its recycled
system is one of the reasons that the District is able to conserve as much potable
water as it has.
16.ADJOURNMENT
With no further business to come before the Board,President Croucher
adjourned the meeting at 4:30 p.m.

Time extension for the As-Needed Professional Services Contract
issued to formerly Boyle Engineering Corporation (now known as
AECOM USA,Inc.)
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board approve a twelve (12)
month extension of the agreement time for the Boyle Engineering
Corporation (Boyle)(now AECOM USA,Inc.)As-Needed Off-Site Potable
and Off-Site Recycled Water Plan Checking Services for Developer
Projects.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To obtain Board approval authorizing the General Manager to extend
the original agreement (see Attachment B)with Boyle (now AECOM)for
an additional twelve (12)month time period.
ANALYSIS:
At the November 7,2007 Board Meeting,the Board awarded an As-Needed
Potable and Off-Site Recycled Water Plan Checking Services Contract
for developer projects to Boyle (AECOM)to provide support for the
District's various developer projects At the time of the award,it
was contemplated that the services would be completed within a year
and would not exceed $150,000.Due to the economy,the volume of
plan submittals has decreased.Thus,at present,only approximately
$50,000 of the budget has been spent.Notwithstanding the slowdown,
staff continues to require plan checking assistance for certain
District programs.Staff is requesting the Board to approve an
extension of twelve (12)months.The original contract amount of
$150,000 will be sufficient,but a limited amendment to the Contract
will be required to incorporate an agreed upon expiration date.
Despite the economic slowdown and decline of real estate market
sales,Developers continue to submit development plans at a steady
rate.To allow the Engineering technicians to focus primarily on
design and assist Civil Engineers in design and construction of ClP
Projects,the District requires the services of a consulting firm to
provide professional services to assist the Public Services Division
in performing plan check review and approvals of Developer and ClP
off-site potable and off-site recycled water projects."Off-site"
refers to District-maintained facilities (i.e,pipelines and
appurtenances)located within public right-of-way and District
easements,outside of privately-owned development areas.
The performance of Boyle (AECOM)has been satisfactory.
FISCAL IMPACT:;L7~
Plan Check services are an on-going effort funded by developer
deposits and does not affect the operating budget-
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."

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering,Operations,and Water Resources Committee reviewed
this item at a meeting held on August 20,2009 and the following
comments were made:
•The Committee inquired about the number of years that the
District has contracted with Boyle Engineering Corporation
(now known as AECOM USA,Inc.)Staff indicated that a one-
year contract between the District and Boyle was executed on
November 13,2007 with a budgeted amount not-to-exceed
$150,000;but due to the economy and decreased volume of plan
submittals,AECOM's services were not needed as much as the
District anticipated.At this time,approximately $50,000 has
been spent from the budgeted amount.Staff is recommending
extending AECOM's contract for an additio~al year,starting in
September 2009.
•The Committee inquired if there had been any problems with
AECOM's services.Staff said there were no problems and that
the performance of AECOM has been satisfactory.
•Staff reported that next year a request for proposal will be
solicited for As-Needed Potable Water Plan Checking and Off-
Site Recycled Water Plan Checking Services and Inspection
Services.
Upon completion of the discussion,the Committee supported
presentation to the full Board as a consent item.

PURPOSE,GOALS,AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
WASTEWATER RECLAMATION FACILITY FEASIBILITY
STUDY
In 2005 the City completed a Wastewater Master Plan,concurrent
with the update of the City of Chula Vista's General Plan,which
identified a shortage of wastewater collection disposal capacity
prior to the City's ultimate build out.
Additional wastewater collection disposal capacity can be
obtained by the City through the construction of a wastewater
reclamation facility or by acquiring additional sewage disposal
capacity from the City of San Diego or from other participating
agencies within the Metropolitan Sewerage System,per terms of
the Regional Wastewater Disposal Agreement.
The current District long-term projected recycled water demand
established the need for increased recycled water supply to
satisfy market demand.
The City,in coordination with Sweetwater Authority and the
District,have completed two studies analyzing the feasibility
of constructing a wastewater reclamation facility within the
City of Chula Vista utilizing Membrane Bioreactor (MBR)
technology capable of producing recycled water meeting Title 22
requirements.The MBR technology was found to be technically
feasible.
The City and the District desire to further analyze the
feasibility of a wastewater reclamation facility through the
acquisition of professional engineering consulting services to
provide costs and physical improvements required to permit and
construct a wastewater reclamation facility.
The objectives of the Study are as follows:
1.Provide reliable,cost-effective wastewater disposal
service to accommodate both the City's near-term and long-
term growth projections in a manner that protects,or even
benefits,the local environment.
2.Ensure the City has adequate authority and control to meet
City wastewater needs to build out.
3.Gain approval of our long-term service plan from the
public,elected officials,and regulatory agencies.
4.Develop increased local recycled water supply for the
District.
5.Provide the City with information regarding an option to
acquiring additional Metropolitan Sewerage System disposal
capacity from another agency or agencies allowing the City
to meet disposal capacity to build out.
6.Provide the City information regarding a realistic
preliminary plan and associated cost estimates to develop a
cost effective wastewater reclamation facility,such as an
MBR plant,for the City to meet disposal capacity to build
out.
7.Provide the City with information regarding a wastewater
reclamation facility that would increase the District
supply of recycled water and the impacts on such a facility
resulting from decreased recycled water demand during the
winter months.
The City and the District have drafted a scope of work that
intends to satisfy the established goals and objectives.

Annual Review of Investment Policy (Policy No.27)and
Delegation of Authority
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board receives the District's Investment Policy (Policy
#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.
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 two years,the size of the
District's portfolio has fluctuated between $108 million and $78
million due to large outlays for construction projects,and the
influx of bond proceeds from the COPS-2007 funding.
I
There have been no changes to the policy since the Board's
previous annual review at the September 3,2008 regular board
meeting.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.

POLICY
It is the policy of Otay Water District to maintain an atmosphere of positive motivation and
discipline with its employees;to treat all employees fairly;and to administer disciplinary action,
when necessary,in a manner that is both fair and corrective.
Disciplinary action is primarily intended to be corrective and progressive,directed at obtaining
compliance with District rules,orders,procedures,standards of conduct,and expected job
performance.However,disciplinary action may also serve a punitive purpose,particularly in
the case of severe or repetitive misconduct.The District may impose discipline,including a
first disciplinary action,commensurate with the nature and circumstances of an employee's
misconduct.Appropriate disciplinary action may include counseling,oral warning,written
reprimand,suspension,reduction in pay,demotion,and/or dismissal.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
All employees are expected to act in a positive and professional manner in performing their
duties and in their relationships with other employees and the public.
Individual departments may adopt rules specifically based on the needs of the department.In
such cases,these rules must be written,approved by the Assistant General Manager,and
distributed to all affected employees.
Employees may be disciplined for the following misconduct:
1.Fraud in securing employment or promotion;
2.Incompetence,including loss,revocation,suspension,or conditions of probation of a

LEVELS OF DISCIPLINE
Counseling -Counseling includes any discussion with an employee designed to assist the
employee in clarifying and remedying a problem.The counseling discussion brings
performance issues to an employee's attention when they are small,and assists the
employee to correct them.
Counseling is normally given by the immediate supervisor.
Oral Warning -An oral warning notifies the employee that his/her performance or behavior
must be improved for cases involving greater performance issues or when previous
counseling has not changed behavior or performance.
An oral warning defines the areas in which improvement is required, sets up goals leading
to improvement,and notifies the employee that failure to improve will result in more serious
action.
An oral warning is normally given by the immediate supervisor.This action shall only be
imposed upon review and approval of the Department Chief,in consultation with the
Assistant General Manager,General Manager and Human Resources Manager or
designee.
A written summary of an oral warning is kept by the supervisor,given to the employee,and
placed in the supervisor's file and retained for a period of 18 months after which it is
removed at the employee's request,unless other disciplinary problems have occurred
within that time.However,if the oral warning is for violation of the Violence in the

AGENDA ITEM 6e
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
Proposed Change of Governance for the Water Conservation
Garden
TYPE MEETING:Regular Board
SUBMITTED BY:Mark Watton,General Manager
APPROVED BY:
SUBJECT:
MEETING DATE:
W.O.lG.F.NO:
September 2,2009
DIV.NO.All
That the Board of Directors approve in concept the transition of the
operation of the Water Conservation Garden (Garden)to become a
nonprofit 501(c)(3)entity (Nonprofit)as outlined in the following
staff report.Authorize supplemental funding of $7,750 in FY 2010 to
support the Water Conservation Garden's transition to become a
Nonprofit.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the proposed change in governance of the Water
Conservation Garden is to bring about a new model ,of governance that
combines the benefits of financial stability and support from its
member agencies,while allowing the Garden to operate more
autonomously under a traditional nonprofit organization structure.
The Garden,as a nonprofit organization,will continue to provide the
valuable water conservation training,education,and physical
demonstration needed by the water agencies throughout the region
while being allowed to operate under the direction of a board of
directors with the sole purpose of advancing water conservation.
Members of the Conservation Garden Authority (JPA)funded the
construction of the Garden and continue to fund a majority of its
operational costs.Future long-term financial support of the Garden
by members of the JPA under this new model provides valuable water
conservation programs and will continue to utilize the facilities
constructed at the Garden as intended by its founders.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A
BACKGROUND
Currently,the operation of the Garden is managed within a Joint
Powers Authority (JPA)consisting of the Otay Water District,Helix
Water District,San Diego County Water Authority,City of San Diego,
Sweetwater Authority (Water Agencies)and Cuyamaca College.Otay
Water District and Helix Water District provided approximately $2
million each to construct the Garden on land donated by Cuyamaca
College.To fund the annual operation of the Garden,the Water
Agencies provide various levels of financial support.Financial
support for the Garden is also obtained by the "Garden Partners"
program,grants,gifts,memberships,sponsorships,and donations.
The JPA Board of Directors (Board)is completing a strategic plan
that has focused on the governance of the Garden and is exploring
alternatives to the current JPA model.The proposed model would
transition the governance and operation of the Garden to become a
501 (c)(3)nonprofit entity such as the Friends of the Garden.Long-
term funding for the Garden is expected to continue in part from the
Water Agencies in the JPA,but the day-to-day operation of the Garden
would be the responsibility of the new nonprofit organization.
The JPA and the Nonprofit would enter into a facilities use agreement
to define roles and responsibilities with specific performance
standards detailed.The ownership of the Garden remains with the
JPA,and the Garden will be operated by the Nonprofit.Financial
support and transition details will be identified in the facilities
use agreement.The belief is that the Nonprofit will be better able
to raise additional funds for the operation and capital needs beyond
reliance on its JPA members.
To better understand the components of the transition plan,the
following framework elements are proposed.
Calendar
The following draft calendar would outline the major milestones and
events in the framework plan:
8/2009 -9/2009
8/2009 -12/2009
1/2010 -12/2010
Completion of the Strategic Plan.
Facilities use agreement prepared for the
Nonprofit.In addition,the existing
incorporation documents for the Nonprofit will
be reviewed to determine if amendments are
necessary in order to assume operational
responsibility of the Garden.
The first twelve months will be the transitional
and formative year for the Nonprofit to
Governance Transition
1/2011 -6/2011
7/2011
12/2009
1/2010 -12/2010
recruit and develop additional board members
and hire a development director exclusively
for fundraising.The JPA maintains an active role
on the Board through the transition year.
The Nonprofit assumes all management
responsibilities of the Garden including
maintenance,education,outreach,and
development.The JPA reduces the number of
positions on the Board.The Nonprofit
controls the majority of new Board's
positions.Funding is defined in the
facilities use agreement.The Nonprofit and
the JPA determine the appropriate level of
long-term financial support by JPA members and
amends the facilities use agreement as
necessary.
The Nonprofit assumes full management of the
Garden.
The JPA approves an eighteen-month budget covering
January 2010 through June 2011,and executes
the facilities use agreement with the
Nonprofit.
Nonprofit Board of Directors (First year of the
transition)-Up to fifteen members consisting of
the following:
•Six members of JPA.
•Up to nine board members from the Nonprofit and new appointees
as approved by the Nonprofit Board.The Nonprofit Board will
need at least a total of eight members to function.
•For the first year,the officers on the Nonprofit Board will be
comprised of a JPA member as president,a JPA member treasurer,
a Nonprofit board member as vice president,and a Nonprofit
board member as secretary.
1/2011 -12/2011 Nonprofit Board of Directors -Up to fifteen
members consisting of the following:

Proposed Change of Governance for the Water Conservation
SUBJECT/PROJECT:Garden
COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Finance,Administration and Communications Committee
reviewed this item at a meeting held on August 25,2008.The
following comments were made:
•
•
•
It was discussed that the Water Conservation Garden is
currently owned and managed by the Water Conservation
Garden Joint Power Authority (JPA)consisting of Otay WD,
Helix WD,San Diego County Water Authority,City of San
Diego,Sweetwater Authority and Cuyamaca College.
The JPA has been working on a Strategic Plan which is
focused on the governance of the Garden and is proposing
that the Garden evolve into a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization wherein the non-profit organization would
lease the Garden from the JPA and would manage/operate the
Garden.It is believed that the non-profit organization
will be better able to raise additional funds for the
operation and capital needs of the Garden beyond its
reliance on its JPA members.
The JPA would initially have six (6)members on the non-
profit organization's fifteen (15)member board,moving to
JPA having two seats.The public agencies would still
contribute as long as they are receiving value from the
Garden programs.
•The non-profit will also be tasked with hiring a
development employee whose sole purpose is to raise funds
for the Garden.
•
•
•
The JPA members will still contribute operating funding for
the next two fiscal years (FY2010 and FY2011).
Additionally,the JPA is requesting supplemental funding of
$93,000 from the JPA members in FY2010 and FY2011,of
which,$7,750 is Otay's share (for each fiscal year).
The above monies will fund the Garden expenses for the next
18 months.It is proposed that the new governance of the
Garden would be implemented in 2011.
The new governance structure is in "draft"form and is
still being discussed.Staff wished to provide an update
on what is occurring at the Garden and is not requesting
approval of the new organization.At this time,staff is
requesting approval of the additional $7,750 funding for FY
2010.
Upon completion of the discussion the committee supported
staffs'recommendation and presentation to the full board on the
consent calendar.

SUBJECT:Adopt Resolution No.4145 -District Administration of Recycled
Water Retrofit Program
GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Otay Water District (District)Board of Directors (Board)
adopt Resolution No.4145,for the Board of Directors Policy No.52
for the District Administration of Recycled Water Retrofit Program.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To adopt Resolution No.4145 (see Attachment B)by the Board to adopt
Board of Directors Policy No.52 (see Attachment C)to implement a
methodology for the District Administration of Recycled Water
Retrofit Program.
ANALYSIS:
As part of the Fiscal Year 2010 Capital Improvement Program (CIP),a
project entitled Potable Irrigation Meters to Recycled Water
Conversions was developed (i e.,CIP Project Number R2094).By
converting relatively high use potable irrigation accounts to use
recycled water,conservatively 300 acre-feet of potable water a year
is expected to be saved.
Staff has identified a number of multi-family dwellings and
educational institutions located in the central area of the District
that are irrigating their internal open spaces and landscapes with
potable water (see Exhibit A).As the current water supply issues in
the region become more severe,the District is actively looking at
ways to conserve potable water.Using recycled water to irrigate
landscaping is the appropriate choice for the District and the
ratepayers.In addition,Section 26 of the District's Code of
Ordinances states,"It is the policy of the District that recycled
water shall be used within the jurisdiction wherever its use is
financially and technically feasible,and consistent with legal
requirements,preservation of public health,safety and welfare,and
the environment."
Staff has recently been in contact with multiple agencies in Southern
California including the City of San Diego,Irvine Ranch Municipal
Water District,Inland Empire Utility District,Eastern Municipal
Water District and San Dieguito Water District.All of these
agencies have sponsored recycled water retrofit programs.The
methodology of reimbursement varies greatly between agencies.Staff
proposes adopting Board of Directors Policy No.52 to provide
guidelines for the operation of this program.Staff will develop the
program either using in-house personnel or by hiring a consultant for
design of new pipelines extensions and/or project administration.
Staff has formulated a grant program to assist users with the cost of
retrofitting existing potable irrigation systems to recycled
irrigation systems.As proposed,the District will cover 50%of the
conversion costs and the other party will cover the remaining 50%.
Converting to recycled water provides benefits to the end user and to
the District.As an example,the end user will save 15%off his/her
potable water bill,and will not be required to p~y associated sewer
fees.An added benefit to ratepayers who participate in the
conversion program,is that they are exempted from restricted
watering conditions if the current drought level increases.The
benefit to the District and its ratepayers is the decrease in potable
water use by maximizing the use of recycled water.Furthermore,the
District is evaluating the viability of banking the water savings
towards the offset program.
Staff will open the grant application period for a limited time to
solicit qualified applicants into the program.Any multi-family
dwelling and/or educational institute within the District and the
City of Chula Vista will be eligible to apply.The District will
market this program by mailing letters and applications to Homeowners
Associations,property management firms,and school districts owning
properties that could conceivably be served by recycled water.The
application and associated materials will also be available on the
District's website.
Staff proposes an initial pilot program consisting of the multi-
family dwelling projects that front recycled water mains.Recently,
an opportunity arose to include the extension of the recycled water
main on Otay Lakes Road from Telegraph Canyon Road to East "H"Street
2
for future service of multi-family dwelling,the Southwestern College
and the Bonita Vista High School.Staff plans to incorporate this
extension as a part of the program The District will cover 100%of
the design and construction of this extension.The expectation is to
enter into an agreement with the above Homeowners Associations and
educational institutions within this year.The pilot program (see
Exhibit "A")will be completed within one year.Staff will then
present to the Board an evaluation of the pilot program,and if
successful,will ask for approval to roll-out the program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total budget for CIP Project No.R2094,Potable Irrigation Meters
to Recycled Water Conversions,as part of the approved FY 2010-2015
budget,is $2,000,000,with an expenditure projection of $500,000 in
FY 2010 There are no expenditures to-date.It is anticipated that
total expenditures,plus outstanding commitments and estimated staff
time,will total $2,000,000.Based on a review of the budget,the
Project Manager has determined the budget to be sufficient to support
the project.
Finance has determined that 100%of the funding is available from the
Expansion Fund.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Adoption of Board of Directors Policy No 52,supports the District's
Mission Statement,"To provide the best quality ot water and
wastewater service to the customers of the Otay Water District,in a
professional,effective,and efficient manner,"and the Otay
strategic goal,"in planning for infrastructure and supply to meet
current and future potable water demands."
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

COMMITTEE ACTION:
The Engineering,Operations,and Water Resources Committee
reviewed this item at a meeting held on August 20,2009 and the
following comments were made:
•Staff is requesting that the Board adopt Resolution 4145
implementing Policy No.52 for the District
Administration of Recycled Water Retrofit Program.
•Staff indicated that the goal of the Program is to save
approximately 300 acre-feet of potable water annually by
converting potable irrigation accounts to use recycled
water.
•Staff identified a pilot program consisting of three
multi-family dwelling projects that are ready to be
converted and the extension of the recycled pipeline on
Otay Lakes Road.
•Staff indicated that the District plans to meet with
representatives from Southwestern College,Bonita Vista
High School,and Homeowners Associations to discuss their
participation in the District's proposed retrofit
program.
•The Committee inquired about the funding source for the
Recycled Water Retrofit Program.Staff indicated that
the Program is budgeted as part of the Fiscal Year 2010
Capital Improvement Program,which would fund a project
entitled Potable Irrigation Meters to Recycled Water
Conversions (CIP Project Number R2094)in the amount of
$500,000 for a total amount of $2 million for Fiscal
Years 2010-2012.The objective of the program is to
optimize the use of recycled water and to reduce the use
of potable water by assisting Homeowners Associations'
with grants to accomplish the conversion.
•The Committee inquirea with regard to Exhibit A that the
cost indicated for the Homeowners Associations
participating in the pilot project is $145,000 and did
not identify the costs projected for the Otay Lakes
Recycled Water Main Extension.However,staff is
requesting $500,000 for the retrofit program.The
Committee requested that staff identify goals and
approximate costs for the program.Attached is the
revised Exhibit A in response to the Committee's request.
It is projected that this pilot project would cost
approximately $360,000,and would take a year for
completion and evaluation of its success.
•Staff is requesting that the Board approve the pilot
project for the Recycled Water Retrofit Program and
Policy No.52 for the administration program.
•In 3-6 months after the implementation of the pilot
program,the Committee requested that staff present the
actual costs and savings from the program.
•The Committee inquired about the potential benefits for
rate-payers.Staff indicated that conversion of potable
irrigation systems to recycled irrigation systems would
take approximately 15%off the bills of ,rate-payers,plus
they would not have to pay associated sewer fees.In
addition,rate-payers would be exempted from restricted
watering conditions if the drought level increases.
Staff also stated that the grants will assist rate-payers
with the cost of retrofitting existing potable irrigation
systems to recycled irrigation systems.The District
will cover 50%of the cost and the remaining 50%will be
covered by the other party.
Upon completion of the discussion,the Committee supported
presentation to the full Board as a action item.

FLAGSHIP PROJECTS:
Update on the design of the 36-Inch Potable Water Pipeline from
FCF #14 to Regulatory Site (CIP P2009)for the month of May
2009:
•As part of the public outreach,staff held an Open House
at the Rancho San Diego Library on July 21st to describe
the proj ect to the public.On July 26th staff set up a
booth outside St.Peter's Chaldean Catholic Church to
provide handouts and information on the proj ect.Both
events were well received by the public after their
services.Traffic updates have been posted to the
project's dedicated website at www.jamachapipeline.com.
SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN BAY DELTA:
•There have been two legislative hearings on the
Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay Delta and I expect that
agreement will not be reached in this legislative session
to resolve the Bay Delta issues.Attached is information
regarding legislation related to the Bay Delta and
current efforts to move this matter forward.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES,INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCE:
Administrative Services:
Human Resources:
•Water Utilities Human Resources Committee (WUHRC)-Human
Resources staff attended the quarterly WUHRC meeting held
at San Diego County Water Authority.This is a group of
HR professionals who meet to discuss various topics as
requested by the agencies.
•New Hires -There were no new hires in the month of
August.
Safety &Security:
•On July 21,2009,the 3Cs Steering Committee considered
the District's Letter of Interest to participate in the
Regional 3Cs program,a partnership for Fire and Law
Enforcement communications and response to disasters.The
3Cs Board will consider the District's Letter of Interest
in their October 2009 meeting.Issues related to the
District's Letter of Interest will include limited
funding for the program and prioritization of funds for
public agencies versus private companies.Information
related to the Regional 3Cs can be found at
www.regiona13Cs.com.Staff will provide updates as the
District's Letter of Interest moves through the process.
Purchasing and Facilities:
•Sale of Property -Escrow successfully closed on July 24,
2008,on the sale of the lots located at the intersection
of Paseo del Rey and Telegraph Canyon Road,Chula Vista,
to the Canyon Community Church.The sale price was at
the appraised $25,000 value.
•Purchase Orders -There were 109 purchase orders
processed in August 2009 for a total amount of
$588,962.49
Water Conservation and School Education:
•Water Waste Reporting -As of August 21,there were 40
reports of water waste,either phoned in or reported
through the District's website.The attached spreadsheet
shows the total number of reports since the program
2
started in April as well as a breakdown of reports by
type of water waste.
•Water Conservation Incentive Activity -MET staff
announced that the rebate programs will start back up on
September 21.Residential customers will no longer need
a reservation to obtain a rebate.
•Water Loss BMP (BMP 1.2)-The California Urban Water
Conservation Council (CUWCC)released a proposed revision
of the water loss BMP,which include a number of
suggested edits made by the District and other member
agencies.The proposed revision will be voted upon at
the September 16,2009 plenary meeting of the CUWCC.
Staff is currently reviewing the language to make sure it
can support this revision.
•Staff serves on the AWWA California/Nevada Section's
Water Conservation Practioner Certification Committee and
met this month to write exam questions for the Level 3
Water Conservation Practioner exam,which is designed to
be taken by Water Conservation Coordinators.Earlier
this year,staff worked to write the Level 2 exam.This
certification will eventually be expanded nationwide.
•School Education Update -Staff sent out letters to
promote the District's school education 'programs and
specifically the District funded tours at the Water
Conservation Garden to all of the schools within its
service area.
•Outreach events in August:
o On August 9,staff worked both the Chula Vista Lemon
Festival and the Center for Sustainable Energy's
Sustainability Fair (with the Water Authority).Both
events were well attended
Information Technology and Strategic Planning:
•Tough Book Rollout -IT distributed 31 new Panasonic
Tough Book computers to field staff.Immediate feedback
was positive.IT staff is in process of conducting in
depth training.
3
•Asset Management -IT is developing a presentation for
the Board and Senior team on the direction of asset
management.
•Meter Shop Scanners -IT released a more efficient
scanner to the meter shop in August.The units will save
several steps and allow the meter shop more control over
their data and data gathering activities.
•IT and Finance completed this years'Special Assessment
filing.Projected revenue is over $300,000 from this
process.
Finance:
•Capacity and Annexation Fee Study -On July 8,2009,an
RFP was sent to six consulting firms for a Capacity and
Annexation Fee Study.Staff received responses "from FCS
Group,COM and PBS&J.A review panel consisting of Joe
Beachem,Jim Peasley and Rita Bell independently reviewed
the responses and ranked them based on the RFP's
criteria.COM and PBS&J were then interviewed over the
phone to further rate the proposals.A second meeting
with the top candidate,Karyn Keese of PBS&J,took place
on August 13.Based on this meeting,which focused on
the scope of services,PBS&J reduced their fee from
$62,900 to $44,110.As this amount is within the General
Manager's authority,the General Manager has approved the
contract with PBS&J to conduct Otay's Capacity and
Annexation Fee Study.Staff anticipates bringing the
results to the Board in January of 2010.
•Water Sales -Staff has been closely tracking water sales
this fiscal year.A water sales report has been prepared
and refined to assist staff in determining the sales on a
daily basis.The July month end financial statements
show potable and reclaimed sales revenues 10%below
budget.Total operating budget revenues are lower than
expenses by $110,102.While this is only one month of
data,it does reflect the generally cooler weather,the
difficult economy,the success of the conservation
messages,and the effect that higher prices are having on
consumption.Staff expects that the pending rate
increase along with the weather,outreach,and economic
conditions will continue to affect water sales,and that
a mild El Nino may increase the expected rainfall.These
many challenges are expected to place ongoing pressure on
4
sales.While the legal settlement from the Jones Co.of
approximately $767,000 will certainly be timely,staff is
evaluating the potential impact of various levels of
sales decline.Among other things,deferral of CIP
projects and decreased debt issuance,expense reductions,
and the timing and level of rate changes are all being
considered.As the year progresses,staff will have a
more accurate prediction of sales volume and will be
better able to identify options to maintain the
District's financial strength.
•Bond Refinancing -Working with the financial advisor,
staff has identified the opportunity to refinance some of
the District's existing debt.The potential savings is
approximately $40,000 per year after considering the
costs to refinance.All Otay customers paying this debt
(customers within 10 27)will see a direct benefit of
this refinancing on their property tax bill.10 27
consists of three large communities,Eastlake,Sunbow,
and Rancho Del Rey,approximately 9,400 customer
accounts.staff is looking to bring authorization to
refinance this bond to the Board within the next three
months.
The financial reporting for July 31,2009 is as follows:
•For the one month ended July 31,2009~there are total
revenues of $5,976,542 and total expenses of $6,086,644.
The expenses exceeded revenues by $110,102.Expenses
exceeded revenues as water sales and purchases are less
than budgeted due to conservation.
The financial reporting for investments for July 31,2009
is as follows:
•The market value shown in the Portfolio Summary and in
the Investment Portfolio Details as of July 31,2009
total $75,877,810.48 with an average yield to maturity of
1.574%.The total earnings year-to-date is $107,625.51.

close of the 45-day review period,responses to any
comments on the document will be prepared and,together
with any corresponding revisions to the draft PEIR,will
constitute the final PEIR.The final PEIR will be
considered and acted upon by the Board at the October Board
Meeting.(CIP 00210)
•South San Diego County Water Supply Strategy The Otay
Water District (District),City of Chula Vista (City),and
Sweetwater Authority (SWA)have agreed to pursue a
cooperative venture to seek federal funding for the South
San Diego County Water Supply Strategy (Strategy).The
Strategy currently includes three key projects:
1.The Otay River Desalination Facility

2.Regional Brine Conveyance Facility
3.Membrane Bioreactor Treatment Facility
On July 13th and 14th Rick Alexander of SWA met with the
Congressional Delegation and Committee staff in Washington,
D.C.The focus of these meetings were on the Strategy and
specifically,how to craft legislation and confirm
sponsorship by Congressman Filner.Prior to Rick
Alexander's departure to Washington D.C.,the District and
SWA agreed to share his travel expenses.Staff plans to pay
SWA $618.28 representing the District's share of the travel
expenses.The trip was deemed productive to promote and
advance the Strategy.Staff also plans on developing an
agreement (s)between the District,SWA,and the City,when
deemed appropriate,that essentially provides for the
obligations,requirements,conditions,etc.,of each agency
in the best interest of their constituents for enhanced
local water supply and brackish/wastewater treatment and
disposal.
•For the month of July 2009,the District sold 39 meters
(51.5 EDUs)generating $337,740 in revenue.Projection for
this period was 8 meters (22 EDUs)with budgeted revenue of
$134,950.Projected revenue from July 1,2009 through
June 30,2010 is $1,619,400.
•Approximately 532 linear feet of both CIP and developer

BMP 1.2 Water Loss Control
Proposed Revision
1.2 WATER LOSS CONTROL
Attachment A
Page lof 3
August 14,2009
The goals of modern water loss control methods include both an increase in
water use efficiency in the utility operations and proper economic valuation of
water losses to support water loss control activities.In May 2009 the American
rdWaterWorksAssociation(AWWA)published the 3 Edition M36 Manual Water
Audits and Loss Control Programs.BMP 1.2 will incorporate these new water
loss management procedures and apply them in California.Agencies are
expected to use the AWWA Free Water Audit Software ("AWWA Software")to
complete their standard water audit and water balance.
A.Implementation
Implementation shall consist of at least the following actions:
1)Standard Water Audit and Water Balance.All agencies shall quantify
their current volume of apparent and real water loss.Agencies shall
complete the standard water audit and balance using the AWWA Water
Loss software to determine their current volume of apparent and real water
loss and the cost impact of these losses on utility operations at no less than
annual intervals.
2)Validation.Agencies may use up to four years to develop a validated data
set for all entries of their water audit and balance.Data validation shall follow
the methods suggested by the AWWA Software to improve the accuracy of the
quantities for real and apparent losses.
3)Economic Values.For purposes of this BMP,the economic'value of real loss
recovery is based upon the agency's avoided cost of water as calculated by the
Council's adopted Avoided Cost Model or other agency model consistent with the
Council's Avoided Cost Model.
4)Component Analysis.A component analysis is required at least once every
four years and is defined as a means to analyze apparent and real losses and
their causes by quantity and type.The goal is to identify volumes of water loss,
the cause of the water loss and the value of the water loss for each component.
The component analysis model then provides information needed to support
the economic analysis and selection of intervention tools.An example is the
Breaks and Background Estimates Model (BABE)which segregates leakage
into three components:background losses,reported leaks and unreported
leaks.
5)Interventions.Agencies shall reduce real losses to the extent cost-effective.
cdAgenciesareencouragedtorefertotheAWWA's 3 Edition M36 Publication,
Water Audits and Loss Control Programs (2009)for specific methods to
reduce system losses.
6)Customer Leaks.Agencies shall advise customers whenever it
appears possible that leaks exist on the customer's side of the meter.
BMP 1.2 Water Loss Control
Proposed Revision
Page 20f3
August 14,2009
B.Implementation Schedule
1)For agencies signing the MOU prior to December 31,2008,implementation
shall commence no later than July 1,2009.
a)July 1,2009 through June 30,2010 will be the first year
of implementation;
b)Agencies shall provide its first full BMP 1.2 report by December 1,
2010 for years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010;
2)Agencies signing the MOU after December 31,2008,implementation shall
commence no later than July 1 of the year following the year the agency signed
the MOU.
a)Agencies shall provide a full BMP 1.2 report for the first reporting
period after implementation and for each reporting year thereafter.
3)A benchmark for the performance indicator in terms of water loss standards
will be determined after the first 4 years data collected based upon the data
reported by agencies.The performance indicator and benchmark;will be voted
upon by the Council by year 6 of this revision.Ongoing data collection and data
reporting requirements will be established as part of this process.
C.Coverage Requirements
1),Agencies to compile the standard water audit and balance annually using
the AWWA Software.Beginning in the 2nd year of implementation agencies to
test source,import,and production meters annually.
2)Agencies shall improve the data accuracy and data completeness of the
standard water balance during the first four years of implementation.Agencies
shall achieve a Water Audit Data Validity score of 66 or higher using the AWWA
software no later than the end of the first four ~ear period;and shall achieve data
validity Level IV no later than the end of the 51 year of implementation.
Estimations for data that are not directly measured should be improved using the
methods outlined by the AWWA.
3)Agencies shall seek training in the AWWA water audit method and component
analysis process (offered by CUWCC or AWWA)during the first four years of
BMP implementation.They shall complete a component analysis of real losses
by the end of the fourth year,and update this analysis no less frequently than
every four years.
4)Beginning in the fifth year of implementation,through the tenth year of
implementation,agencies shall demonstrate progress in water loss control
performance as measured by the AWWA software real loss performance
indicator "gallons per service connection per day;""gallons per mile of mains per
day;"or other appropriate indicator by one of the following:
a)Achieving a performance indicator score less than the agency's
score the previous year;
BMP 1.2 Water Loss Control
Proposed Revision
Page 30f3
August 14,2009
b)Achieving a performance indicator score less than the average of the
agency's scores for the previous three years;or
c)Achieving a performance indicator score in the top quintile (20%)of all
signatory agencies reporting such performance indicator with a Data Validity
Level IV;or ;
d)In year 6 and beyond reducing real losses to or below the benchmark
value determined in the Council's process referenced in section B3.
5)Agencies shall repair all reported leaks and breaks to the extent cost
effective.By the end of the second year,agencies shall establish and maintain a
record-keeping system for the repair of reported leaks,including time of report,
leak location,type of leaking pipe segment or fitting,and leak running time from
report to repair.By the end of the fourth year,agencies shall include estimated
leakage volume from report to repair,and cost of repair (including pavement
restoration costs and paid-out damage claims,if any).
6)Agencies shall locate and repair unreported leaks to the extent cost effective.
D.Requirements for Documenting BMP Implementation
1)Agency shall submit the completed AWWA Standard Water Audit and Water
Balance worksheets in the BMP 1.2 report form every reporting period.
2)For each reporting period,agency shall keep and make available validation for
any data reported.
3)Agency shall maintain in-house records of audit results,methodologies,
and worksheets for each completed audit period.
4)Agency keeps records of each component analysis performed,
and incorporates results into future annual standard water balances.
5)Agency,for the purpose of setting the Benchmark:
a)keeps records of intervention(s)performed,inclUding standardized
reports on leak repairs,the economic value assigned to apparent losses and
to real losses,miles of system surveyed for leaks,pressure reduction
undertaken for loss reduction,infrastructure rehabilitation and renewal,
volumes of water saved,and costs of intervention(s);and
b)prepares a yearly summary of this information for submission to the
Council,during years two through five of implementation,unless extended
by the Council.

HEARING-AUGUST 18,2009
The Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (Delta)forms the centerpiece for this year's legislative
actions related to water.While this year's bills relate to more than just the Delta,the most
significant legislation has some connection to the Delta,direct or indirect.The water
conservation bills,for example,arise from the Delta debate,in order to reduce reliance on water
imports from the Delta.This paper therefore concentrates attention on the Delta.
I.Introduction:The Delta
The Delta ecosystem is the most valuable estuary ecosystem on the west coast ofNorth or South
America,a natural resource ofhemispheric importance.Created by the confluence ofthe
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers as they flow into San Francisco Bay from the north and
south,respectively,the estuary is a maze oftributaries,sloughs,and islands.It contains the
largest brackish estuarine marsh on the West Coast.The Delta ecosystem,the largest wetland
habitat in the western United States,supports more than 750 wildlife species and more than 120
species offish,as well as one ofthe state's largest commercial and recreational fisheries.The
Delta estuary also provides migration corridors for two-thirds ofthe state's salmon and nearly
halfofthe waterfowl and shorebirds along the Pacific flyway.
The Delta also serves as the heart and a critical crossroads ofCalifornia's water supply and
delivery structure.California's precipitation falls predominantly north and upstream ofthe Delta,
whereas much ofthe state's urban and agricultural water uses occur south ofthe Delta.The
state's two major water projects,the federal Central Valley Project (CVP)and California's State
Water Project (SWP),store water in major reservoirs upstream ofthe Delta,convey water
through the Delta,and export the Delta's water south from project pumps in the south Delta.As
the water flows from the Sierra toward the Delta,cities and farmers draw water from the system.
The Delta's value as an ecological resource and its role in meeting California's water supply
needs have resulted in inherent conflict.The disparate functions and values ofthe Delta and the
competing demands for its resources have long been sources ofbitter conflicts and profound
challenges for stakeholders and policy makers.Between the state and federal governments,at
least twenty agencies share and sometimes contest responsibility for Delta issues.Local entities
within the Delta's watershed multiply that number several fold.Affected stakeholders number in
the hundreds.These interests have engaged in conflict for decades.

Brandt,in Large-scaleEcosystem Restoration:Five Case Studies from the United States.]

II.The Delta Crisis
The Delta has suffered from multiple crises for several years -ecosystem,water supply,levee
stability,water quality,policy,program,and litigation.The first public symptom ofthe current
Delta Crisis occurred in June 2004.A privately owned levee unexpectedly failed,not in the
middle ofa flood,but on a clear day in June.When the State initially refused to repair the levee,
local advocates convinced Governor Schwarzenegger,on a helicopter visit to the levee break,to
use state funds to fix the private levee.The State spent nearly $100 million to fix the levee and
restore an island whose property value was far less.The Department ofWater Resources (DWR)
subsequently released an analysis showing the substantial risk of cataclysmic failure ofmultiple
Delta levees and began development ofa "Delta Risk Management Strategy"to further assess
levee risks and set a strategy for Delta levee programs.
Ecosystem Crisis:In early 2005,the Department ofFish &Game (DFG)reported a trend
showing severe decline in the Delta fishery and the food web on which the fishery depends.
DFG and other agencies began an investigation ofthis "Pelagic Organism Decline"or "POD."
The POD investigation identified three categories of causes for the decline -state/federal water
project operations in the Delta,invasive species,and contaminants -but did not attribute the
decline to one particular source ofthe problems.The ecosystem continued its decline,with
record-low reports offish populations.Between 2006 and 2007,a population index for Delta
smelt,which are unique to the Delta and listed as "threatened"under the federal Endangered
Species Act,dropped from 341 to 25,when the index had been in the thousands just a few years
earlier.Salmon,which pass through the delta between the ocean and spawning grounds,have
suffered such a serious decline that,for the first time in history,sport and commercial fishing for
salmon has shut down completely,throwing thousands out ofwork -two years in a row.
Delta Program Crisis:In 2005,the CALFED Bay-Delta Program,which had relied on bond
funding,reported dwindling financial resources.In response,the Legislature cut the CALFED
budget and the Governor initiated a wide-ranging program,governance and fiscal audit,which
revealed substantial deficiencies.The Little Hoover Commission published a comprehensive
report on CALFED and Delta governance -Still Imperiled,Still Important -in late 2005.The
following year,the Legislature reorganized CALFED programs and funding under the Resources
Agency Secretary,and required development ofa new long-term "vision"for the Delta.The
California Bay-Delta Authority,which has legal responsibility for oversight ofCALFED has not
met in several years,as the State considers new directions for the Delta.
Water Supply Crisis:In 2007,a federal judge,acting under the federal Endangered Species Act,
declared certain federal biological opinions about near-extinct fish illegal and restricted water
exports from the Delta,to the San Francisco Bay Area,the San Joaquin Valley and Southern
California.Those restrictions limit water flowing backwards toward the pump and impose other
limits to protect the fishery.As a result,the federal Central Valley Project (CVP)and the State
Water Project (SWP)suffer limits on pumping to refill reservoirs and deliver water for
agricultural and urban uses.Shortly after the judge restricted pumping,the Governor called the
Legislature into an extraordinary session on water,but the Legislature only passed a water
project appropriation bill.Compounding the export limitations,the Delta watershed has suffered
a serious drought for the last several years,leading to a comparatively small segment of
agricultural water contractors suffering substantial cuts in water deliveries from the Delta.The
2009 California Water BillPackage 3 August18,2009
judge's restrictions on pumping have been replaced by new federal biological opinions for delta
smelt and salmon,which adopted similar restrictions.
Delta Levee Crisis:The State's response to the June 2004 Jones Tract levee failure
underscored the risks ofDelta levee failures.Delta agriculture,after 150 years ofplowing peat
and releasing carbon,has led to substantial subsidence,with some islands as much as 30 feet
below the adjacent water level.After the Governor overruled DWR's decision against fixing the
private levee protecting Jones Tract, the State spent approximately $100 million to fix the levee
and restore the island.DWR then began studying and developing new policies for how to
respond to Delta levee failures.Hurricane Katrina's devastation added urgency,and shortly
thereafter DWR unveiled a scenario where an earthquake could destroy 30 Delta islands and
create a deep inland sea,due to inundation from San Francisco Bay.Growing concerns about
mass Delta levee failure risks have led to fundamental re-examination ofDelta policy.
Water Quality Crisis:The quality ofDelta water also continues to decline.There are two
categories ofwater quality challenges in the Delta -salinity and contaminants.As a river
estuary,salinity naturally pushes upstream from the San Francisco Bay.Since the 1930's,
California has developed a freshwater barrier to that salinity,with upstream reservoir releases
that push back salinity and feed fresh Sacramento River water to South Delta water export
pumps.With sea-level rise,that barrier becomes more difficult to maintain.This year,in order
to preserve water supply,federal and state water projects did not make certain 2009 water
releases from project reservoirs,leading to violations ofDelta water quality standards.Salinity
and other contaminants also come downstream,from the burgeoning Central Valley communities
and economy.Both agricultural and urban communities contribute contaminants.Recent reports
on Delta contaminants have noted the significant contributions from the Sacramento region,
including home pesticide-laden runoff and ammonia from the regional water treatment facility.
Litigation Crisis:Since the Delta Ecosystem Crisis emerged in 2005,parties on all sides of
the Delta debate have filed numerous lawsuits.Environmental groups filed lawsuits that led to
the 2007 state and federal court decisions limiting water exports.Agricultural and urban water
users have filed suits against the new ESA biological opinions.In-Delta parties have filed suit
against state agencies,regarding investigations ofthe Peripheral Canal,the developing "Bay
Delta Conservation Plan,"and inaction by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
More than 25 lawsuits now stand on Delta-related issues.
III.Delta Vision
Through this enduring Delta crisis,the Legislature and the Governor initiated,in 2006,a process
to develop a new long-term vision for the Delta.SB 1574 (Kuehl/2006)required a cabinet
committee to present recommendations for a Delta strategic vision.The Governor created a
Delta Vision Blue-Ribbon Task Force to advise the Cabinet Committee.The Task Force
produced an October 2008 Strategic Plan,which the Cabinet Committee largely adopted and
submitted,with its recommendations,to the Legislature on January 3,2009.The primary
exception to the Cabinet Committee's adoption was the Task Force's recommendation for a new
comprehensive,independent "California Delta Water and Ecosystem Council."
2009 California Water BillPackage 4 August18,2009
Strategic Plan:The Delta Vision Strategic Plan provides a broad framework -and an
expedited timeline -for action in the Delfa,with numerous recommendations requiring action by
the Legislature.The Strategic Plan included goals,strategies and actions for achieving the Delta
Vision.The goals included:
l)Legally acknowledge the co-equal goals ofrestoring the Delta ecosystem and creating a
more reliable water supply for California.
2)Recognize and enhance the unique cultural,recreational and agricultural values ofthe
California Delta as an evolving place,an action critical to achieving the co-equal goals.
3)Restore the Delta ecosystem as the heart ofa healthy estuary.
4)Promote statewide conservation efficiency,and sustainable use.
5)Build facilities to improve the existing water conveyance system and expand statewide
storage,and operate both to achieve the co-equal goals.
6)Reduce risks to people,property,and state interests in the Delta by effective emergency
preparedness,appropriate land uses,and strategic levee investments.
7)Establish a new governance structure with the authority,responsibility,accountability,
science support,and secure funding to achieve these goals.
The Strategic Plan also includes numerous strategies to achieve those goals and specified actions
to implement the strategies.In some cases,the actions identified issues that still needed further
analysis and a final decision,which may include making tradeoffs among the often competing
Delta interests.In other cases,the actions required legislation to further develop what may be a
concept or an idea for a new direction in the Delta.The Strategic Plan may be found on the
Delta Vision website,at www.deltavision.ca.gov.
Pursuant to the 2006 Delta Vision legislation,the specified Cabinet Committee considered the
Task Force's Strategic Plan and made its own recommendations to the Legislature.These
recommendations adopted almost all the Task Force recommendations,except for the creation of
a new Delta Council,which the Cabinet Committee recommended only for further study.The
Cabinet Committee also expanded on some ofthe recommendations,specifying needs for
legislation to implement the recommendations,including details as to a new Delta conservancy
and changes to water diversion/use reporting.
The Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force formally dissolved once it delivered the Strategic Plan
to the Cabinet Committee.Task Force members, however,then established the Delta Vision
Foundation,with support from the Packard Foundation.More information about the Delta
Vision Foundation may be found at www.deltavisionfoundation,org.
IV.Why Change?Why Now?
While the Delta suffers from these multiple crises,some have questioned the ambitious timeline
for taking action this year,as proposed by the Delta Vision Task Force.Others,including
Governor Schwarzenegger,respond that resolving California's water challenges remains one of
the most urgent issues facing State Government.The urgency arises from several sources:
•Risk ofEcosystem Collapse:Several Delta fish species teeter on the brink ofextinction.
California has suffered two years ofcomplete closure ofthe salmon fishing season -for
the first time in state history.The fishing industry cannot afford to suffer additional years
offishery decline without any plan for resolving the Delta crisis.
2009 California Water Bill Package 5 August18,2009
•Risk ofUnreliable Water Supplies:In 2007,a federal judge restricted water exports
from the Delta and California has suffered a serious drought since then.In light ofthe
Delta ecosystem decline,water exports remain unreliable,subject to state and federal
laws regarding water rights and the environment.Ifthis most valuable estuary ecosystem
does not improve soon,then water supply from the Delta will remain unreliable.
•Risk ofMass Levee Failure:DWR has described a scenario where a major earthquake
could cause collapse ofmultiple levees and loss of 30 Delta islands.<According to U.S.
Geological Survey,there is a 62%chance that an earthquake ofmagnitude 6.7 or greater
will hit the Delta between 2003 and 2032.)With loss ofthese deeply subsided islands,
the Delta would be inundated with salt water from San Francisco Bay,shutting down any
water exports from the Delta and recovery requiring up to two years.Some islands may
never be restored and the nature ofthe Delta and its ecosystem would change forever.
•Delta Vision Strategic Plan:The Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force spent two years
ofcareful study ofthe Delta challenges and provided a comprehensive set ofspecific
recommendations that provides the basis for the Legislature to act this year.
With these factors in mind,legislators and legislative leadership have worked extensively on
understanding the water issues facing California and developing legislative proposals to address
California's water challenges.
v.2009 Legislative Deliberations
After delivery ofthe Delta Vision recommendations from the Cabinet Committee and the
Strategic Plan on January 3,the Legislature began deliberations as to how to respond.These
deliberations started with informational hearings in both the Assembly and Senate policy
committees.The Committees heard from Delta experts,Task Force members,the
Schwarzenegger Administration as well as the public at large.Assembly Water,Parks &
Wildlife subsequently heard from Natural Resources Agency Secretary Mike Chrisman,as to
how the Administration proposed responding to the Delta Vision recommendations.
In March,Senate President Pro Tempore Darrel Steinberg and Assembly Speaker Karen Bass
convened two bicameral and bipartisan legislator discussion groups regarding Delta Vision,one
on creating a new Delta plan (led by Assembly policy committee chair Jared Huffman)and one
on Delta governance (led by Senate policy committee chair Fran Pavley).The legislators heard
from Delta Vision Task Force members and other Delta experts,and engaged in vigorous water
policy discussions,although there was no discussion ofspecific legislation.Participants gained a
broader understanding ofthe key water and Delta issues facing California.
After the member discussion groups concluded,several legislators who had introduced Delta
bills began developing detailed legislative proposals,which culminated in the pre-print proposals
now pending.Legislators and staffdiscussed numerous issues,as they developed their proposals
into one package ofDelta bills.Concurrently,two water conservation bills proceeded through
the regular legislative process -AB 49 (Feuer)and SB 261 (Dutton).Discussions regarding
water bills continued through June and July.When the legislative authors did not complete their
internal deliberations on the specific language ofproposed Delta bills,a decision was made to
take the bills to conference committee,so there would be sufficient opportunity for a robust
legislative and public consideration ofthese issues.
2009 California Water BillPackage 6 August18,2009
VI.Legislative Issues
The Delta Vision Task Force Strategic Plan identified numerous issues requiring legislative
action,addressing all seven Strategic Plan goals.In essence,the Strategic Plan offered
recommendations to address new directions and decisions for the Delta.That is,the Task Force
recommended new directions for Delta management and policy,and how decisions as to those
directions should be made.These categories ofrecommendations have become labeled as "the
Delta Plan"and "Delta Governance."The Task Force also made recommendations on a third
category -contained in its fourth goal-related to improving statewide water management.
Within these three categories,numerous issues arise.The bills that will be considered in both
policy and conference committees address many ofthese issues.
A.Delta Plan
The Delta enjoys -or suffers from (depending on your perspective)- a long history of "plans."
The most recent comprehensive plan was the August 2000 CALFED Bay-Delta Program Record
ofDecision (CALFED ROD),which remains in effect but largely has been abandoned.Now,the
Natural Resources Agency,DWR,the state/federal water contractors and other "potentially
regulated entities"(PREs)have been developing a new "Bay-Delta Conservation Plan"or
"BDCP,"in cooperation with a stakeholder steering committee.BDCP developed in response to
the collapse offishery populations,particularly those listed as threatened pursuant to the federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA).
These plans responded to previous conflicts between water project operations and the Delta
ecosystem,but were not the only plans developed in response to Delta difficulties.Many state
and local agencies have Delta plans,to address one problem or another.In response to
increasing development in the Delta,the Legislature created the Delta Protection Commission
(DPC),which created a "resource management plan"and oversees land-use decisions in the
Delta,particularly in the "primary zone."DWR currently is developing a "Delta Risk
Management Strategy"(DRMS),to address the risk ofmultiple levee failure and transformation
ofthe Delta into a deep-water inland sea.The Department ofBoating and Waterways has a plan
for eliminating invasive plants that choke Delta waterways,by application of herbicides.While
all these plans may help address problems in the Delta,they lack integration into a larger
comprehensive plan,which may resolve conflicting policy objectives.
The Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force (Task Force)recommended numerous actions,but
central to all those recommendations was development ofa comprehensive plan for moving
forward in the Delta.This Strategic Plan proposal encompasses more than previous plans,which
have focused on water-related issues.This plan would include all six substantive Delta Vision
goals and,for the first time,connect land and water policies in the Delta.This proposed plan,in
conjunction with a new Delta Council,would accomplish comprehensive reform ofDelta policy
that cuts across multiple policy areas and state agencies,thereby reducing interagency conflict
over direction ofDelta policy.It is intended to integrate all Delta policies and adapt as the Delta
changes,responding to both climate change and human-induced changes.
2009 California Water BillPackage 7 August18,2009
1.Delta Plan Development Process
The Task Force's Strategic Plan recommends,in Strategy 7.2,that the Council develop the Delta
Plan by December 2010,after the Legislature adopts a legal and procedural outline for the Plan.
The timing ofthis development process reflects the urgency ofresolving the Delta crisis,but
may be affected by other developments in the Delta,particularly the development ofthe BDCP.
The Natural Resources Agency currently plans to complete the BDCP by the end of2010,
although some question the likelihood ofcompleting this comprehensive plan and obtaining the
necessary regulatory approvals by that date.While the new Council may have ultimate
responsibility to adopt a final Delta Plan,existing agencies with responsibilities in the Delta will
need to contribute to the Plan's development ifthe 2011 deadline is to be achieved.
The plan development process will require numerous elements ofinformation and decision.The
needs ofthe Delta form the foundation for developing a new Delta Plan,but information as to
those needs,particularly in light ofconstant change in the Delta,remains limited.Certain
information,such as the Delta's needs for instream flows,may be a prerequisite for completing
the Delta Plan.The Strategic Plan also identified several factual issues requiring further
investigation,and policy issues requiring the judgment ofthe State's legislative and executive
branches.
2.Substantive Issues in Delta Plan
The Delta Vision Strategic Plan -and the Delta Plan it recommends -was unique in its
comprehensive scope.Past plans have been limited by either agencies'existing legal authorities
or the priorities ofthe agencies that developed the plan.This new Delta Plan would address the
six substantive goals in the Strategic Plan.The Strategic Plan identifies strategies and actions to
achieve each goal,which raise issues for legislative consideration.
•Co-equal Goals:How should the Legislature incorporate the "Co-equal
Goals"ofwater supply reliability and ecosystem restorati.on into the constitution
or law?What does "water supply reliability"mean -more water or more
regularity?Do the Co-equal Goals incorporate the additional goal ofprotecting
"the Delta as Place,"which the Strategic Plan describes as the "third leg ofthe
stool"but addresses separately from the Co-equal Goals?How do the Co-equal
Goals apply to water bond proposals and existing water laws and principles?Do
the Co-equal Goals constrain or require existing agency action?
•Delta as Place:How can the State protect the current "unique cultural,
recreational,and agricultural values ofthe California Delta"while concurrently
changing direction in Delta policy?What does the Delta "as an evolving place"
mean?Who develops the plans for how to protect the Delta as a place?What
land-use policies "enhance"the Delta's unique values?
•Ecosystem Restoration:What does "restoration"mean?How should the
Legislature define a "healthy Delta estuary ecosystem?"What are the stressors on
the Delta ecosystem that need to be addressed?How should Delta water quality
be improved for ecosystem needs?Which ofthe many recommended strategies
and actions should the Legislature adopt?What are the implications for salinity
fluctuation in an estuary ecosystem?How broad is the geographic scope of
ecosystem restoration -the legal Delta or the entire watershed?Who has
responsibility for planning and implementing ecosystem restoration?
2009 California Water Bill Package 8 August18,2009
•Statewide Water Management:How closely should statewide water
conservation efforts connect to Delta management?How does the Governor's
call for 20%reduction in per capita water use relate to the Delta?Should the new
Delta Stewardship Council oversee efforts for regional water self-sufficiency and
water-use reduction contingency plans?What water-use reporting
requirements/changes,as recommended by the Delta Vision Cabinet Committee,
should the Legislature adopt?How should the Delta Plan address deteriorating
Delta water quality to ensure adequate drinking water quality?How should
decisions as to State investments in water programs and infrastructure projects be
made?
•Delta Water Infrastructure:How should the Legislature address the most
controversial issue -Delta water conveyance?Should SWP/CVP water be
conveyed through:a)current Delta channels;b)an isolated conveyance facility;
or c)both current channels and an isolated conveyance?How should the
Legislature incorporate the existing BDCP process,which includes both
ecosystem restoration and water conveyance issues,into the Delta Plan?What
information and analysis is required to make decisions on Delta water
infrastructure?(The Strategic Plan recommended only further investigation of
"dual conveyance.")Who should make the decision as to Delta water
infrastructure,including both conveyance and storage facilities?
•Levee Risk Reduction &Emergency Preparedness:How should the Delta
Plan incorporate the current effort to develop a comprehensive Delta emergency
response plan?What are the State's interests in privately owned Delta levees?
Does the State have any legal responsibility for maintaining private Delta levees?
How should the State prioritize its investments in maintenance and improvements
to private Delta levees?How do Delta land-uses affect State investments in
private Delta levees,and should the State condition levee funding on appropriate
land use controls?How should Delta "legacy towns"that suffer minimal flood
protection be protected?
The Delta Plan recommendation also raises larger overarching issues:
•Should the Delta Plan be developed consistent with the Coastal Zone Management Act
and other federal laws (Reclamation Act and Clean Water Act)to ensure that federal
agencies act consistently with the Delta Plan,as the Task Force recommends?
•How can the Delta Plan ensure that State agencies act consistently with the Delta Plan?
•How should existing state agencies participate in Delta Plan development?
•How can the Delta Plan adapt to inevitable changes in the Delta?
•How can independent science contribute to development ofthe Delta Plan?
•How should the new Delta Plan incorporate existing or future state agency plans?
3.Bay Delta Conservation Plan
In response to the crash ofpopulations ofDelta fish listed as threatened pursuant to the federal
Endangered Species Act (ESA)and related litigation,the Schwarzenegger Administration,state
and federal water contractors,and certain energy companies that use Delta water for cooling
adopted a new strategy for ESA compliance. Since the 1990's,both federal and state water
projects have relied on the "consultation process,"pursuant to ESA Section 7,to obtain
biological opinions that allow certain levels of"take"(i.e.destruction)oflisted fish species.In
2009 California Water BillPac/cage 9 August18,2009
2006,state and federal agencies and the "potentially regulated entities"(PREs)began developing
a "habitat conservation plan"(HCP)for the Delta,which would provide an incidental take permit
and assurances,under ESA Section 10,for the non-federal parties that use Delta water.This
process has developed as "the Bay-Delta Conservation Plan"or BDCP process.
The Schwarzenegger Administration had suggested that this new BDCP could serve as the new
comprehensive plan for the Delta,replacing the CALFED Bay-Delta Program.Since the Task
Force issued the Strategic Plan,however,the Administration has framed BDCP as the foundation
for the proposed Delta Plan and discouraged legislative interference in its progress.BDCP
recently released a draft conservation strategy that emphasized the importance ofcreating an
alternative conveyance system to eliminate the negative ecosystem effects on water exports in
the South Delta,which may generate controversy in the months ahead.In recent months,some
parties outside the BDCP process -particularly those who live and work in the Delta -have
objected that they have been excluded from the BDCP process.It should be noted that the
BDCP's Steering Committee meets in public,but its membership is by invitation.
The concurrent development ofBDCP and the new Delta Plan raises several issues that may be
considered in the Delta legislation.It appears that BDCP will address a subset ofthe issues
addressed by the Delta Plan -water conveyance and ecosystem restoration.Its ultimate success,
however,may depend on actions in the new Delta Plan.
•How should the two plans interact with each other?Is BDCP part ofthe Delta Plan?
•How should the new Delta Plan incorporate the Bay Delta Conservation Plan?
•Should legislation impose substantive or procedural requirements on BDCP,or establish
a clear path for the State's adoption ofthe BDCP?
•Should the State fund conservation actions required to obtain the ESA take permits?
B.Delta Governance
As the Task Force indicated,successful implementation ofthe Delta Plan and achievement ofthe
Co-equal Goals will require changes to the Delta's governance structure -matching a
comprehensive Delta Plan with comprehensive Delta governance.The Task Force noted that
more than 200 agencies have legal authority for governance in the Delta.No single state entity
has authority to address the sweep ofissues identified in the Strategic Plan.It is not unusual for
state agencies to work at cross purposes in the Delta.Agencies typically have different missions,
legal authorities,and cultures,often leading to interagency conflict.To resolve these conflicts
and achieve the Co-equal Goals,the Strategic Plan proposed an independent "California Delta
Ecosystem and Water Council,"to make the decisions,on behalfof the State,to implement the
Delta Plan.
1.Council
The proposed Council stands at the center ofreform ofDelta governance,but raises numerous
issues as to its structure and legal authority.The Cabinet Committee concluded that creation ofa
new council required further study and recommended postponing a decision on a Delta council.
The Committee explained that a new council would need "standards and criteria"for its
decisions to ensure predictability for critical Delta activities such as water project pumping
regimes.In recent months,however,the Administration has not expressed objection to the
2009 California Water Bill Package 10 August18,2009
creation ofthe new Council and there has been some indication that it may propose its own form
for a new council.The Task Force,now in the form ofthe Delta Vision Foundation,continues to
insist that creation ofan independent Delta council is critical to success in the Delta.
Council Structure:The Strategic Plan made several specific recommendations as to the
Council structure,including a limited number (5-7)ofmembers with five-year staggered terms
and WITHOUT any geographic,occupational or representational criteria for selection.The
Council would not be "a sizeable new government bureaucracy,"but instead would rely on
existing state agencies to exercise their authorities to take action in the Delta to implement the
new Delta Plan.The Strategic Plan explains the rationale for each ofthese recommendations,
based on history ofDelta programs and conflicts.Some may dispute some ofthis rationale and
these structural issues would need to be considered in any legislation creating the Council.
Council Authority:The Strategic Plan proposes a Council with broad legal authority to:
•Develop and adopt the new Delta Plan.
•Enforce state agency compliance with the Delta Plan,including determinations of
consistency as to new Delta infrastructure projects.
•Receive and allocate funds to advance policies and programs in the Delta.
•Resolve conflicts in the Delta.
•Act as a "Trustee Agency"to participate in CEQA processes and protect environmental
resources in the Delta.
This broad authority may elicit debate from state and local agencies that may be affected by the
new Council's authority.
2.Conservancy
The Strategic Plan also recommended a conservancy for the Delta,which previous legislation
has proposed on several occasions,without success.Previous legislation has proposed an
independent Delta conservancy or expansion ofthe Coastal Conservancy to include the Delta.
These recommendations addressed the structure and legal authority for a new conservancy,the
common issues for creating any new governance entity/agency.
Conservancy Structure:The Strategic Plan recommended an II-member conservancy board,
with five representing the Delta counties,four state agency representatives and two public
members appointed by the governor.Additional non-voting members would be appointed by the
Legislature and "selected"federal agencies.
Conservancy Authority:The Strategic Plan recommended that the conservancy be "devoted
solely to the statutory Delta and the Suisun Marsh,"and would be responsible to:
•Coordinate state ecosystem-related and urban waterfront projects in the Delta.
•Acquire or manage lands necessary for implementing the Delta Plan.
•Assume responsibility,when offered,for lands currently in government ownership.
•Receive funds from any source for projects consistent with the Council's policies/plans.
•Support appropriate recreation and ecosystem activities.
•Create incentives for "mutually beneficial mixtures"oftraditional agriculture,habitat and
recreation,including agri-tourism,wildlife-friendly agriculture,bird watching/hunting.
2009 California Water BillPackage 11 August18,2009
These recommendations generate several ~issues for further legislative consideration.The
Legislature has created several conservancies to protect environmental resources in areas across
the state.The legislation creating each conservancy has addressed the specific issues that arise in
its area.The Task Force's recommendations reflect some ofthe issues that arise in the Delta:
•Property Ownership/Management:Federal,state and local agencies already own
substantial portions ofDelta lands,but there is no coordinated management of those
lands.The conservancy may play the role ofmanager ofthese public lands,as a system.
The recommendations above provide for conservancy land acquisition and acceptance of
lands from other public agencies.
•Economic Development:The recommendations related to waterfront development
and "mutually beneficial mixtures"hint at the possible economic development role for
the conservancy.Conflict between ecosystem restoration and economic development,
however,may arise,such as wetlands restoration requiring use of agricultural lands.The
recommendation for "incentives"suggests that this economic/ecosystem combination
may be a benefit,but not a required element ofeach conservancy project.
•Bay Delta Conservation Plan:The Strategic Plan also recommends continued
investigation and development ofthe BDCP and its conservation action proposals.The
conservancy's role in implementing those BDCP actions remains unclear.
3.Water Master
While the Strategic Plan did not recommend a Delta water master,it urged improvements to the
compliance of diversions and water use with all applicable laws.Its Action 7.1.5 advocated
improvements to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB),to ensure better legal
compliance.One way to achieve such compliance would be the creation ofa water master who
could oversee day-to-day water diversions in the Delta watershed.
4.Independent Science Program
The Strategic Plan emphasized the importance ofgood science to the development and
implementation ofthe new Delta Plan.To improve the "direct link between scientific
investigation and real-world management and policy,"the Strategic Plan recommended creation
ofa "Delta Science and Engineering Board."Its recommendations specified membership and
terms for this board.This science board would research critical scientific issues,synthesize the
best available science,and review all major projects under the Delta Plan.Its role would focus
more on scientific recommendations than making decisions.It would succeed and replace the
successful CALFED science program.
5.Delta Protection Commission
The Strategic Plan recommended that legislation "strengthen"the existing Delta Protection
Commission (DPC).To address changing state interests in the Delta,the Strategic Plan
recommended:
•Revision ofall DPC policies (including the Resource Management Plan)to be consistent
with the new Delta Plan.
•Review and certification ofall local general plans for consistency.
•Consistency determinations for development proposals in the Delta's primary zone.
•Appeal authority for land-use decisions in selected portions ofthe secondary zone.

2009 California Water Bill Package 12 August18,2009
The Strategic Plan generally suggests retaining the mix ofstate and local participation in the
DPC,but also suggested adding participatIon from federal agencies and the Central Valley Flood
Protection Board.The Strategic Plan,however,did not comment on the precise mix ofDPC
members.
Changes to the DPC implicate significant issues related to the state-local relationship,as the
DPC's oversees local land-use decisions and general plans.The current membership includes
both local and state representatives,which may change as the role ofDPC changes.Requiring
changes to general plans also will affect local government's compliance with CEQA.
C.Statewide Water Management
While the Strategic Plan included recommendations for statewide water management,legislation
on these issues have proceeded on a separate track this year.Such separation reflects the fact
that these statewide changes would affect more than the Delta watershed or areas which rely on
water imports from the Delta.
1.Water Conservation
While the Legislature has passed several bills promoting water conservation in recent years,the
Governor's 2008 call for Californians to reduce per capita water use by 20%by 2020 set an
ambitious goal for statewide conservation.The Legislature has considered bills to achieve the
Governor's call in 2008 (AB 2175/Laird)and 2009.This year,several members introduced bills
to achieve the Governor's call.At this point,two bills have continued to progress -AB 49
(Feuer/Huffman)and SB 261 (Dutton)-which have fundamentally different approaches as to
how to achieve water conservation.
2.Water Diversion/Use Reporting &Groundwater Reporting
According to the Strategic Plan,"Plainly said,the information about current diversions and use
in the current water system is inadequate to the task ofmanaging the co-equal values.More
comprehensive data from throughout the Delta watershed would provide a better foundation for
changes in water diversion timing.California must also develop and use comprehensive
information on the local,regional and statewide availability,quality,use,and management of
groundwater and surface water resources to help improve opportunities for regional self-
sufficiency."
3.SWRCB Enforcement Authority
The Delta Vision Cabinet Committee,in its Implementation Report,called for legislation to
enhance and expand the State Water Resources Control Board's water rights administrative
accountability.In particular,it called for legislation to provide the authority to collect and
disseminate accurate information on all surface water diversions in the state;require interim
remedies,after opportunity for hearing,to prevent irreparable harm to the environment and other
water right holders,while underlying proceedings continue;initiate stream adjudications and
collect adjudication costs from the parties diverting water;and to enforce existing water right
permit terms and conditions.
2009 California Water BillPackage 13 August18,2009
4.Other Water Supply Alternatives
The Strategic Plan recommended that Callfornia "increase reliability through diverse regional
water supply portfolios,"and identified several actions,which could increase water supply
reliability.Those actions include:
•Recycling:Proposes setting a statewide recycling target of 1.5 million acre-feet of
water by 2020 and taking actions to facilitate greater development/use ofrecycled water.
California is unlikely to meet its 1 million acre-foot recycled water target by 2010,and
increasing recycling would require a wide range ofactions to accomplish the proposed
2020 target.
•Desalination:Proposes tripling current statewide capacity for generating water through
desalination ofocean and brackish water by 2020.California desalination development
has been limited,for several reasons,including cost,location in the coastal zone,energy
demands,and design ofwater distribution systems flowing downhill toward the ocean.
Recent advances in desalination technology may make this alternative more attractive,
particularly for groundwater basins that are only brackish,which would require removal
ofless salinity.
•Storm Water Capture:Proposes that the SWRCB set goals for infiltration and
direct use ofurban storm water runoffthroughout the Delta watershed and its·export
areas.Historically,"storm water"issues have related to water quality and flood control,
with policy focused on cleaning up storm water discharges and getting them downstream
as quickly as possible.In recent years,some agencies have focused attention on ways to
reduce storm water discharges and/or retain such storm water for subsequent use.The
Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority provides a good example.The trend toward
"low-impact development"is consistent with these efforts.The challenges for storm
water capture include:connecting quality and quantity issues,which may involve
different sets ofactors and agencies;changing the long-standing "flood control"
perspective (i.e.getting flood waters out ofthe jurisdiction as soon as possible)on storm
water management;and approaching storm water from a watershed perspective,instead
ofjurisdiction-by-jurisdiction (or discharge-by-discharge).
D.Finance ofDelta Activities
The Strategic Plan included a strategy that the State:"Finance the activities called for in the
California Delta Ecosystem and Water Plan from multiple sources."That Strategy 7.3 identified
several actions requiring legislation:
•Enact a series ofprinciples regarding design of financing into legislation authorizing the
California Delta Ecosystem and Water Council.
•Establish a base ofrevenues outside the state General Fund for the work ofthe California
Delta Ecosystem and Water Council,the Delta Conservancy,the Delta Protection
Commission,and related core activities ofthe Department ofFish and Game,the
Department ofWater Resources,and the State Water Resources Control Board.
•Find new revenue sources beyond the traditional bond funds or public allocations.
These finance recommendations will raise numerous issues as to who pays,how much,for what,
and by what means.The last recommendation,in particular,moves the discussion beyond water
bonds,which have paid for much ofthe activity in the Delta in the last decade.

•Exports,pre-Wanger:5.9 lTIillion acre-feet/year
•Peripheral Canal Alone:4 to 4.6 MAF/year
•Dual Conveyance:5.9 to 6.3 MAF/year
2009.'From December 1,2008 through May 1,2009,CVP and
SWP exports were 1.16 MAF.With a PC only system (advocated

Why does Peripheral Canal Export L.ess
Wa.ter?
•Sacramento River water only!
-No water can be exported from the San Joaquin River,Mokelumne
River or other rivers that flow to the Delta
•Sacramento River instream flows required to protect fish
in the river:
-Cannot dry up the river
In summer and fall,Sacramento River typically runs 15,000 cfs to
9,000 cfs
Minimum instream flow needed,(DFG recommends 5,000 cfs to
15,000 cfs plus a percentage of the remainder),so the amount of
water the Peripheral Canal can carry is limited
57%of the time the flow in the Sacramento River is less than the
15,000 cfs PC capacity!

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REVIEW
JULY 31,2009
INVESTMENT OVERVIEW &MARKET STATUS:
The federal funds rate has remained constant now for over 7-months.On December 16th,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%.They went on to say:"The Committee anticipates that weak
economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels ofthe federal funds rate for some time."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 August 12,2009.
Despite the large drop in available interest rates,the District's overall effective rate of return on at July 31st was 1.61 %.At the same
time the LAIF return on deposits has also dropped over the last several months,reaching an average effective yield of 1.04%for the
month of July 2009.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.
