SUBJECT: Impose a $1,000 Fine for Meter Tampering
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board uphold staff’s recommendation to impose a $1,000 fine
for meter tampering at 2878 Gate Eleven Place in Chula Vista.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To ensure the District continues to protect the water supply and
applies violations consistent with the Code of Ordinances.
ANALYSIS:
The District began installing AMR Master Meters in 2004. In early
2013 there was an upgrade to the reading software, Master Links,
which added the ability to detect tamper alerts. By Master Meter’s
definition a tamper alert “will appear on your screen when meter is
tampered with a magnet.”
On March 14, 2015, a staff member was responding to a tamper alert at
2878 Gate Eleven Place in Chula Vista. During the course of the
2
investigation, the meter box was opened and revealed a magnet
attached directly to the water meter. This action caused the meter
to fail and inaccurately measure the volume of water going through,
thus causing the customer to be under billed. The magnet also
disables the meter to the point that it cannot be repaired or reused.
Meter tampering is a violation of our Code of Ordinances as outlined
in section 72.03C which reads “In addition to other remedies,
tampering is subject to a Type II fine pursuant to Section 72.06.
Additionally, tampering may be prosecuted as a crime under Section
498 of the California Penal Code, as set forth in Section 73.01 of
this Code.”
A review of the data from our Master Links system shows a total of 6
tamper alerts at this property from March 2013 to present. Staff
investigated this property a total of 6 times prior to this latest
incident. Those investigations did not yield any evidence of meter
tampering and the alert was cleared each time.
The District has had two other incidents where a magnet was
discovered inside a meter box in close proximity to the water meter.
In both cases the customer was fined $1,000.
Staff is recommending that the owner of the property, Mr. Jose Victor
Barreiro will be fined $1,000 and this charge is to be put on his
next water bill which then becomes an inseparable part of that bill.
If the charges remain unpaid, the District may disconnect water
service, lien the delinquent real property, and may access damages
and penalties established by the District or otherwise authorized by
law. Applying the fine to the property owner, Mr. Jose Victor
Barreiro, is consistent with the Code of Ordinances, Section 72.01
which states “Each person receiving service, or that owns a property
that receives service, agrees to pay the District any applicable fees
and charges. Such persons are also responsible for all costs and
damages in connection with any violation of this Code relating to
their service.”
In addition, the District has added $381.78 for administrative costs
related to the investigation, $285.43 for the replacement of the
meter and a charge of $2,221.70 for the back billing of estimated
water loss from April 2013 through February 2015 (Attachment B).
This estimated water loss amount was calculated by using the monthly
usage amounts for 2008-2012 (5 years) and taking an average of the
total units used. That calculation was 26.15 units per month. Then,
as a secondary measure, the highest and lowest years of usage over
the five-year period were omitted, which left a three year average
that spanned over the same five-year period. The average of that
3
calculation was 26.52 units per month. These two numbers (26.15 and
26.52) were then rounded down to 25 units per month.
The customer’s monthly bills for the period of April 2013 through
February 2015 were subtracted from the 25 units per month average and
the difference totaled $2,221.70.

Enforce the District’s Code of Ordinances and protect the public
water supply.

Dear Board of Directors ,
DECEIVEn n APR 1 0 2015 u
Aptii{Q.,~::l~Qll-3§----
Regarding matter and to respond to you letter , we would like to clarify
and prove our water consumption since 2006. It clearly shows on our records
that when our home was undergoing construction, we were creating landscaping
on our property.
The units of water consumed were relatively higher when under going the laying
of the sod and setting up of the sprinkler systems. As our irrigation systems were finished
consumption drastically decreased by more than half of what was initially used.
Our Household initially started as a family of ( 4) . My wife and I, and our two
sons . Our eldest built his home in Bonita , and the other moved to Lemon Grove. Just me
and my wife reside on this home @ 2878 Gate Eleven Place in the City of Chula Vista.
That brought the consumption of resources down even more according to your records.
We are very careful of what we spend on any resource available to us , we set up the drip
irrigation system on our fruit trees and saw that they didn't work as well as we thought
they would . So I took the initiative to water manually and that's what I have been doing
since, as a result our rear yards sod has died. I understand that homes in our
neighborhood are as big as our own but you have to take in consideration that it is only
my wife and I that reside here , and we try to keep the bill at 10 to 20 units per month.
I am very offended to see that you think of me as a thief, I have never needed to
steal in my entire life. I have always worked hard for what we own and have everything
to show for it. We have established a great reputation with all of our vendors , always
paid on time and created the highest of credit available to any citizen (890). We own
rental property in many parts of this County for years and never been accused of
sabotaging our meters to save money. I hope we can come to an understanding, and
again I ,we, were not aware that there was any magnets as you said, to compromise our
equipment of any kind. We wish to clarify any misconception you have of us in a
professional manner.
Thank You.

Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
German Alvarez, Assistant General Manager
Mark Watton, General Manager
SUBJECT: Annual Review of Investment Policy (Policy No. 27) and
Re-Delegating Authority for All Investment Related Activities
to the Chief Financial Officer
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board receives the District’s Investment Policy (Policy #27)
for review, and re-delegates 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. The
primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities are:
1. Protect the principal of the funds.
2. Remain sufficiently liquid to enable the District to meet
all operating requirements which might be reasonably
anticipated.
3. The District’s return is a market rate of return that is
commensurate with the conservative investments approach to
meet the first two objectives of safety and liquidity.
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 recent years, the size of the
District’s portfolio has declined from $110 million in 2010 to $84
million as of February 28, 2015. The reduction is primarily due to
planned outlays for construction projects and the drawdown of debt
proceeds.
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.

conforming to all state statues governing the investment of public
funds.
2.0: SCOPE
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the Otay

3.0: PRUDENCE
Investments should be made with judgment and care, under current

of the current investment portfolio. The management report should

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

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

FEDERAL CREDIT AGENCIES: Agencies of the Federal government set up to
supply credit to various classes of institutions and individuals,
e.g., S&L’s, small business firms, students, farmers, farm
cooperatives, and exporters.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC): A federal agency that
insures deposits in member banks and thrifts, currently up to $100,000
per deposit.
FEDERAL FARM CREDIT BANK (FFCB): The Federal Farm Credit Bank system
supports agricultural loans and issues securities and bonds in
financial markets backed by these loans. It has consolidated the
financing programs of several related farm credit agencies and
corporations.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The rate of interest at which Fed funds are
traded. This rate is currently pegged by the Federal Reserve through
open-market operations.
Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (FAMC or Farmer Mac): A
stockholder owned, publicly-traded corporation that was established
under the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, which added a new Title
VIII to the Farm Credit Act of 1971. Farmer Mac is a government
sponsored enterprise, whose mission is to provide a secondary market
for agricultural real estate mortgage loans, rural housing mortgage
loans, and rural utility cooperative loans. The corporation is
authorized to purchase and guarantee securities. Farmer Mac
guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payments of
principal and interest.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB): Government sponsored wholesale banks
(currently 12 regional banks), which lend funds and provide
correspondent banking services to member commercial banks, thrift
institutions, credit unions and insurance companies.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN MORTGAGE CORPORATION (FHLMC or Freddie Mac): A
stockholder owned, publicly traded company chartered by the United
States federal government in 1970 to purchase mortgages and related
securities, and then issue securities and bonds in financial markets
backed by those mortgages in secondary markets. Freddie Mac, like its

competitor Fannie Mae, is regulated by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FNMA or Fannie Mae): FNMA, like
GNMA was chartered under the Federal National Mortgage Association Act
in 1938. FNMA is a federal corporation working under the auspices of
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It is the
largest single provider of residential mortgage funds in the United
States. Fannie Mae is a private stockholder-owned corporation. The
corporation’s purchases include a variety of adjustable mortgages and
second loans, in addition to fixed-rate mortgages. FNMA’s securities
are also highly liquid and are widely accepted. FNMA assumes and
guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payment of
principal and interest.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM: The central bank of the United States created
by Congress and consisting of a seven member Board of Governors in
Washington, D.C., 12 regional banks and about 5,700 commercial banks
that are members of the system.
GOVERNMENT NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (GNMA or Ginnie Mae): A
government owned agency which buys mortgages from lending
institutions, securitizes them, and then sells them to investors.
Because the payments to investors are guaranteed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Government, they return slightly less interest than
other mortgage-backed securities.
INTEREST-ONLY STRIPS: A mortgage backed instrument where the investor
receives only the interest, no principal, from a pool of mortgages.
Issues are highly interest rate sensitive, and cash flows vary between
interest periods. Also, the maturity date may occur earlier than that
stated if all loans within the pool are pre-paid. High prepayments on
underlying mortgages can return less to the holder than the dollar
amount invested.
INVERSE FLOATER: A bond or note that does not earn a fixed rate of
interest. Rather, the interest rate is tied to a specific interest
rate index identified in the bond/note structure. The interest rate
earned by the bond/note will move in the opposite direction of the
index. An inverse floater increases the market rate risk and modified
duration of the investment.

LEVERAGE: Investing with borrowed money with the expectation that the
interest earned on the investment will exceed the interest paid on the
borrowed money.
LIQUIDITY: A liquid asset is one that can be converted easily and
rapidly into cash without a substantial loss of value. In the money
market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and
asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those
quotes.
LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT FUND (LAIF): The aggregate of all funds from
political subdivisions that are placed in the custody of the State
Treasurer for investment and reinvestment.
MARKET VALUE: The price at which a security is trading and could
presumably be purchased or sold.

the buyer-lender to liquidate the underlying securities in the event
of default by the seller borrower.
MATURITY: The date upon which the principal or stated value of an
investment becomes due and payable.
MONEY MARKET: The market in which short-term debt instruments (bills,
commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, etc.) are issued and traded.
MUTUAL FUNDS: An open-ended fund operated by an investment company
which raises money from shareholders and invests in a group of assets,
in accordance with a stated set of objectives. Mutual funds raise
money by selling shares of the fund to the public. Mutual funds then
take the money they receive from the sale of their shares (along with
any money made from previous investments) and use it to purchase
various investment vehicles, such as stocks, bonds, and money market
instruments.
MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUNDS: An open-end mutual fund which invests only
in money markets. These funds invest in short term (one day to one

and regulation of the NASDAQ stock market and over-the-counter
markets. Its regulatory mandate includes authority over firms that
distribute mutual fund shares as well as other securities.
PASSIVE INVESTING: An investment strategy involving limited ongoing
buying and selling actions. Passive investors will purchase
investments with the intention of long term appreciation and limited

term price fluctuations. Also known as a buy-and-hold strategy.
PRIMARY DEALER: A designation given by the Federal Reserve System to
commercial banks or broker/dealers who meet specific criteria,
including capital requirements and participation in Treasury auctions.
These dealers submit daily reports of market activity and positions
and monthly financial statements to the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York and are subject to its informal oversight. Primary dealers
include Securities and Exchange Commission registered securities
broker/dealers, banks, and a few unregulated firms.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE: An investment standard. In some states the law
requires that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in
a list of securities selected by the custody state—the so-called legal
list. In other states the trustee may invest in a security if it is
one which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and
intelligence who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of
capital.
PUBLIC SECURITIES ASSOCIATION (PSA): A trade organization of dealers,
brokers, and bankers who underwrite and trade securities offerings.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORIES: A financial institution which does not
claim exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or
ad valorem taxes under the laws of this state, which has segregated
for the benefit of the commission eligible collateral having a value
of not less than its maximum liability and which has been approved by
the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits.

REGIONAL DEALER: A securities broker/dealer, registered with the
Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), who meets all of the licensing
requirements for buying and selling securities.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (RP OR REPO): A holder of securities sells these
securities to an investor with an agreement to repurchase them at a
fixed price on a fixed date. The security “buyer” in effect lends the
“seller” money for the period of the agreement, and the terms of the
agreement are structured to compensate him for this. Dealers use RP
extensively to finance their positions. Exception: When the Fed is
said to be doing RP, it is lending money that is increasing bank
reserves.
SAFEKEEPING: A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee
whereby securities and valuables of all types and descriptions are
held in the bank’s vaults for protection.
SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the purchase and sale of

performance is impacted by the fluctuation of interest rates, the
volatility of the imbedded options and shifts in the shape of the
yield curve.

Joseph R. Beachem, Chief Financial Officer

Mark Watton, General Manager
SUBJECT: Resolutions as Required by the Water Code and Government Code,
to Confirm the Exclusion of Parcels from Water Improvement
Districts (ID) 1,2,3,5,7,9,10 and 20 and Annexations into ID
22; and Sewer IDs 4 and 14 and Annexations into ID 18
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board approve the attached Resolution Nos. 4268, 4269, 4270,
4271, 4272, 4273, 4274, 4275, 4276 and 4277, which are necessary to
complete the process for the exclusion of parcels within Water
Improvement Districts (IDs) 1,2,3,5,7,9,10 and 20 and Sewer IDs 4 and
14. Concurrent with said action, that the Board also approve the
attached Resolutions Nos. 4278, 4279, 4280, 4281, 4282, 4283, 4284,
4285, 4286 and 4287, which are necessary to complete the process for
the annexation of the excluded parcels in Water IDs 1,2,3,5,7,9,10
and 20 into ID 22; and Sewer IDs 4 and 14 into ID 18.
PURPOSE:
That the Board authorize and confirm the exclusion of parcels within
Water Improvement Districts (IDs) 1,2,3,5,7,9,10 and 20 and Sewer IDs
4 and 14 and the annexation of those parcels into Water ID 22 and
Sewer ID 18, respectively.
ANALYSIS:
On March 4, 2015 the Board took action on the first of two steps to
complete this consolidation, declaring its intention to exclude and
subsequently annex certain parcels and initiating the process to do
so. The Board then directed staff to move forward with the
consolidation process. Staff has published and posted the
resolutions as required by statute, from April 20, 2015 through
May 7, 2015. Therefore, the Board has the ability to confirm the
exclusions and annexations at this Board meeting, provided there are
not written protests filed by the holders of title of one-half of the
value of the territory proposed to be annexed. The exclusions and
the annexations will then become effective on July 1, 2015.
The availability fees are identical between Water IDs
1,2,3,5,7,9,10,20 and 22; except for 62 parcels within ID 1; and 6
parcels within ID 5; and identical between Sewer IDs 4, 14 and 18.
Therefore, staff has determined there is no longer a reason to
separate these parcels. This will streamline the accounting and
tracking of these parcels within the District’s various information
systems.
Because the proposed consolidation technically imposes a “new” charge
on customers, to be in compliance with the Proposition 218
requirements, notices were sent to all customers within these IDs to
inform them of their option to protest the consolidation of IDs. The
required public hearing will take place at the May 6, 2015 Board
meeting.
Staff has completed the required publication and posting per
Government Code section 6066 and Water Code sections 72084, 72707,
and 72703. Having complied with such requirements, this second set
of resolutions is being presented to confirm the exclusions and
annexations. A subsequent action will request that Water IDs 1,
2,3,5,7,9,10 and 20, and Sewer IDs 4 and 14 be dissolved effective
July 1, 2015.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
It is estimated that there will be savings to the District of 118
staff hours estimated at a cost of $17,057. Additionally, the
increase in the availability fees collected in IDs 1 and 5 would be
approximately $5,888 should none of the parcels quality for the newly
allowed exemptions.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
Through well-established financial policies and wise management of
funds, the District will continue to guarantee fiscal responsibility
to its ratepayers and the community at large.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

RESOLUTION NO. 4268 RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF OTAY WATER DISTRICT TO EXCLUDE PARCELS FROM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT 1
WHEREAS, on January 27, 1958 by Resolution No. 32, the Otay Water District
Board of Directors (“Board”) formed Improvement District (“ID”) ID 1 for the purpose of
incurring necessary bonded indebtedness for the acquisition, construction and
completion of water improvements and works; and
WHEREAS, on June 5, 1972 by Resolution No. 968, the Board formed ID 22 for
the purpose of incurring necessary bonded indebtedness for the acquisition,
construction, and completion of water improvements and works; and
WHEREAS, the availability fees are identical between IDs 1 and 22 for
parcels less than one acre; however, there are 62 parcels larger than one acre in ID 1
for which the water availability fees will increase to make the fees consistent with all
other parcels within IDs in the Otay Water District boundaries; and
WHEREAS, staff has determined that there is no longer a reason to separate
these parcels; and
WHEREAS, on March 4, 2015 by Resolution No. 4257, the Board initiated
proceedings to consolidate ID 1 into ID 22 to streamline the accounting and tracking of
these parcels by declaring, by its own motion, its intention to exclude parcels in ID 1
pursuant to Water Code Sections 72080, et seq., with an eye towards annexing the
excluded parcels into ID 22, including ordering a public hearing on said exclusion and
directing staff to provide statutorily-required notice for the hearing; and
WHEREAS, in compliance with Proposition 218, the Otay Water District held the
required public hearing on the new fees for the parcels excluded from ID 1 and annexed
Attachment D

into ID 22 at its May 6, 2015 Board meeting, where the Board determined that there
were nine protests regarding this action and approved the new fees; and
WHEREAS, on May 6, 2015 at 3:30 p.m., a hearing was held by the Board on
the questions of the proposed exclusion and the effect of such exclusion upon the Otay
Water District, ID 1 and the territory to be excluded, where at such time and place, any
persons interested, including all persons owning property in the Otay Water District or in
ID 1, were heard and allowed to appear and present any matters material to the
questions set forth in the resolution of intention to exclude.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. That the Board of Directors, following a public hearing on the matter, does
hereby determine that it is desirable to exclude parcels within ID 1, as identified in
Exhibit A, to this resolution.
2. That the exclusion of parcels within ID 1, with an eye towards annexing
them to ID 22, is desirable to streamline the accounting and tracking of these parcels,
given that the availability fees are identical between IDs 1 and 22.
3. That a map showing the exterior boundaries of the proposed territory to be
excluded, is on file with the Secretary of the District and is available for inspection by
any person or persons interested. Said map shall govern for all details as to the extent
of the then existing improvement district.
4. The exclusion of parcels within ID 1 will become effective on
July 1, 2015.

SUBMITTED BY: Michael Kerr, Information Technology Manager
APPROVED BY:
Adolfo Segura, Assistant Chief, Admin and IT Services
Geoff Stevens, Chief Information Officer
German Alvarez, Assistant General Manager
Mark Watton, General Manager
SUBJECT: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RELATED SERVICE CONTRACTS FOR FY 2016
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
That the Board authorize the General Manager to negotiate and enter
into the following agreements:
1. One (1) year service agreements with:
a. AT&T in the amount of $125,000 for local and long-distance
telephone and internet service.
b. Verizon Wireless in the amount of $85,000 for cellular phone,
wireless modem service and equipment.
c. Tyler Technologies in the amount of $127,000 for ERP/Financial
software maintenance costs and annual technical support.
d. Azteca Cityworks in the amount of $90,000 for software and
maintenance for the District’s asset and work management system.
2. Three (3) year service agreement with:
a. CompuCom, Inc. in the amount of $180,000 ($60,000 annually) for
Microsoft Software Licenses, upgrades, and maintenance service.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see “Attachment A”.
PURPOSE:
To authorize the purchase of equipment and services necessary to support
the District’s business and technology operations and to enhance
enterprise system architecture to meet emerging service needs as
identified in the District’s Strategic Plan.
ANALYSIS:
The IT department presents to the Board specific technology related
expenses that require Board approval as they exceed the General
Manager’s signature authority of $50,000 for a specific contract. These
contracts and purchases are required to either operate the District’s
technology environment or to make planned technology related
infrastructure improvements. Each item requiring the District to issue
a purchase order or contract for greater than $50,000 is described in
detail in the following section. All of the items in this staff report
are specifically itemized in the FY 2016 budget as well. By presenting
these items collectively, staff would like to provide to the Board a
more detailed view of expenses related to the District’s information
systems.
All purchasing guidelines have been met for the specific items in this
report. Where possible, items have been competitively bid. Certain
items, such as software licenses and vendor support, are sole source
contracts, as only one vendor can support the product. Certain items
are also purchased utilizing pricing provided in state authorized
competitive contracts, primarily CALNET and WSCA (state and regional
wide agreements which guarantees competitive pricing). Where possible,
agreements will utilize the District’s standard contract form, which
provides the ability to terminate the agreement with or without cause
upon 60-day notice. Contracts for software licenses and support are
generally not open to negotiation and the manufacturer’s standard one
(1) year agreement will be utilized.
The following are detailed descriptions of the specific requests:
Explanation of Costs
Software and Support Agreements:
AT&T, $125,000 - This item covers the purchase of telephone, facility
connectivity and internet services to support all District operations.
This item utilizes CALNET pricing which has been competitively bid by
the State of California. Funds for these services are allocated in the
IT O&M budget.
Verizon Wireless, $85,000 – This item covers cellular phone, wireless
modem, and equipment service for District operations. Other main-stream
carriers offered similar competitive device and service pricing via the
Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract, however, staff
selected Verizon based on the on-going reliability and signal coverage
throughout the District’s service footprint. Although Verizon was not
the lowest submitted quote, staff determined that the minor savings
does not outweigh the internal work efforts, training, and time required
to replace devices across the District. In addition, the discount given
to the District using WSCA is 22 percent off of the standard pricing.
The District’s inventory is as follows: 77 iPhones for staff use
(administrative and field use) and 94 wireless 3G/4G devices and service
for mobile air cards, hot-spots, field connectivity and remote
monitoring of SCADA and alarm systems. Funds for this item are allocated
in the IT O&M budget.
Eden Tyler Technologies, $127,000 – This item covers yearly required
software maintenance for the District’s enterprise resource planning
(ERP) software suite, which includes Utility Billing, Financial, Human
Resources and Permitting Systems. The ERP software suite is exclusively
owned and licensed by Tyler Technologies. The yearly maintenance fee
includes all core licensing, software support to include required annual
service packs and technical support for all software modules. This item
is a sole source contract as only the product vendor is authorized to
provide maintenance support. Funds for this item are allocated in the
IT O&M budget.
Microsoft Software Licenses, $180,000 ($60,000 annually) – This item
covers all of the District’s required software licensing and maintenance
for business operating systems to include, enterprise database, server,
data center and other core productivity software. Staff negotiated a
3-year agreement with CompuCom, Inc., under the discounted pricing
agreement through the County of Riverside statewide Microsoft
Enterprise Agreement that provides Public Sector(s) in California with
a peer-approved, audit-friendly method of saving funds and managing
software licenses.
Cityworks, Public Asset Management Software, $90,000 – This item covers
yearly required software maintenance for the District’s asset and work
management solution. The Cityworks software suite is exclusively owned
by Azteca Systems. The yearly maintenance fee includes all core
licensing, GIS centric asset management solution, CCTV interface,
Citizen Engagement Portal AMS/PLL and technical support for all
components.
FISCAL IMPACT: Joe Beachem, Chief Financial Officer
These items, totaling $607,000, are specifically included in the FY
2016 Operational Budget.
STRATEGIC GOAL:
These items are in support of the District’s required services and
Strategic Plan, which specifically improve the overall operating cost.
LEGAL IMPACT:
None.

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 4288 Declaring the Third Week of April as
California Native Plant Week in the Otay Water District.
GENERAL MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 4288 declaring the third week of April as
California Native Plant Week in the Otay Water District.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
See Attachment A.
PURPOSE:
To present for the Board of Directors’ consideration a resolution to
declare the third week of April, each year, as California Native
Plant Week in the Otay Water District.
ANALYSIS:
The San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS)
is requesting that the District formally declare the third week of
April, each year, as California Native Plant Week. Resolution Number
4288 is presented for this purpose and is based on a resolution the
California Legislature passed in 2010 to inaugurate Native Plant Week
to celebrate California’s natural heritage of native plants.
The CNPS is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting
California's native plants and preserving them for future
generations. It is a highly respected botanical organization with
nearly 10,000 members who promote native plant appreciation,
2
research, education, and conservation through five statewide programs
and 34 regional chapters in California.
San Diego relies heavily on imported water, but more than half of
that water is used annually to irrigate nonnative lawns and
ornamental landscaping. With drought affecting the majority of the
State and with the snowpack in the Sierras at the lowest levels in
recorded history, California is entering its fourth straight year of
extreme to exceptional drought. As a result, Governor Brown has
issued new directives for all California cities and towns to reduce
water consumption including mandated conservation measures and
establishing a statewide initiative to replace 50 million square feet
of lawns and ornamental turf with drought tolerant landscapes.
Maintaining a typical lawn in California requires many times more
water than does maintaining California native plants which, once
established, can survive on little or no supplemental irrigation. To
help get this important message across to consumers, the CNPS has
formed a statewide program to educate and engage the public as to the
benefits of incorporating California native plants into residential
and commercial landscaping.
For instance, native plants save water because they are perfectly
suited to California’s climate and soil. Native plants reduce the
need for fertilizers and herbicides, which can pollute the
environment and local water resources. California natives require
less pruning or mowing, saving on maintenance costs. Some California
native plants are fire-resistant and can be used as a fire barrier in
wildland-urban interface areas. Native plants provide food, shelter
and habitat for wildlife, including native birds and butterflies.
The CNPS’ campaign will also introduce residents to the beauty of
native plants and to help instill an understanding and appreciation
for California’s natural plant life, while having a positive impact
on the environment and protecting important natural resources.
Staff recommends that the board adopt Resolution No. 4288 declaring
the third week of April, every year, as California Native Plant Week
in the Otay Water District .

WHEREAS, California's native plants provide unique iconic,
economic, artistic, historical, and environmental values to the
state; and
WHEREAS, California has over 6,000 native plant types, of which
over 2,000 exist only here, making our state home to more diverse
plant life than all other states combined, including some of the
oldest, tallest, and most massive living things on Earth; and

native plants, some of which compete with native plant species,
degrade soil, facilitate erosion and wildfires, and alter the state's
natural landscapes; and
WHEREAS, California's first peoples lived and thrived by their
knowledge of native plants, which provided them with the means of
life for centuries; and
WHEREAS, in modern times our native plants still provide foods,
medicines, and other products; and
WHEREAS, California native plant horticulture is a growing
industry employing thousands of Californians, and the benefits to
water conservation and natural area restoration help provide economic
stability within the state; and
ATTACHMENT B
WHEREAS, our native plants provide essential watershed
protections by helping to recharge natural aquifers, filtering
flowing water, lessening erosion and flooding, and beautifying and
renewing our state; and
WHEREAS, gardens and landscapes composed of California native
plants, being perfectly suited to our climate and soil, require far
fewer fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, and water than
conventional landscapes, and provide essential habitat for wildlife,
and
WHEREAS, restoring California native plants provides links to
wild land areas, while introducing people to their beauty and
instilling a greater understanding and appreciation for California's
natural heritage; and
WHEREAS, many individuals and groups have as goals, among other
things, the preservation and restoration of native plants and the
education of the public on their value, including the California
Native Plant Society, which is celebrating its 50th year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the Otay Water District
encourages community groups, schools, and citizens to undertake
appropriate activities to promote native plant conservation and
restoration, and to inform their neighbors and communities of the
value of native plants in natural and horticultural settings; and

No recommendation. This is an informational item only.
COMMITTEE ACTION:
Please see “Attachment A”.
PURPOSE:
This is an informational item regarding the state of the District’s
Emergency Preparedness, Safety, Security, and Business Continuity
programs.
Analysis:
As part of the District’s ongoing process and program improvement
efforts, during the past 24 months, staff has been active in the
enhancement of the District’s Emergency Preparedness, Safety and
Security programs. The objective of these efforts and programs is not
only for agency awareness, but for staff to maintain a state of disaster
emergency readiness and to maintain a safe, secure, and compliant work
environment. To fulfill these efforts, the following has been
accomplished to date.
Training and Compliance Programs:
Emergency Preparedness Training -- The Standardized Emergency Management
System (SEMS) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS)
compliance training provides education to staff ranging from line
employees, to first-responder, and to command level functions. This is
in compliance with State of California Government Code 8607 and Homeland
Security, Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5).
To date:
138 District staff members have completed Introduction to Incident
Command System ICS-100 and IS-700 Basic Introduction to NIMS.
54 District staff members have completed Basic Incident Command
System and Single Resources for Initial Action Incident ICS-200
and IS-800 an Introduction to National Response Framework.
34 District staff members have completed Intermediate Incident
Command System for Expanding Incidents ICS-300 and ICS-400
Advanced Incident Command System for Expanding Incidents.
Safety & Health -- Cal/OSHA Compliance Training provides instruction and
training requirements to assigned, competent, qualified staff and to
the District’s 12 member HAZWOPER emergency response team. This is in
compliance with the Construction and the General Industry Safety Orders
of California Title 8, Division 1, Chapter 4 and in reference to Chapter
3.2 of the California Code of Regulations.
Examples of Training:
HAZWOPER 40-Hour and 8-Hour Annual Refresher

Facilities Security Improvements:
Facilities -- A District-wide physical security and functional
improvement assessment effort for facilities has been completed. The
assessment identified and produced the information required to help
enhance the District’s physical security and critical infrastructure
program.
Examples of improvements:
Enterprise physical security control methodology
Enterprise burglar alarm monitoring 24X7
System controlled access (Entre)
Continuity of facility services via solar and battery powered
sources (up to 72 hours)
Internal and External Support Efforts & Resources:
District Teams & Resources -- The District maintains an active emergency
operations center (EOC) and Safety/Security committee teams, which are
activated for scheduled monthly and quarterly exercises. In addition,
District staff interacts regularly with the following outside agencies
for sharing of information and cross-functional trainings: SDCWA, County
of San Diego, OES, Cal-WARN, MACS, WebEOC, Cal/OES, FEMA, Mutual Aid
Agreement, DHS, LECC, InfraGard, Cal/OSHA, SD Sheriff’s Critical
Infrastructure Team, local law enforcement, and alarm and security
patrol vendors.
Business Continuity Improvements:
Technology Services -- Over the past 36 months, the District has migrated
many of its business critical services to the ‘‘cloud’’ and has made
investments to harden and enhance our ability to sustain operations
during power outages or other unplanned emergencies.
Examples of improvements:
Enterprise email via cloud service (primary/backup service)
Enterprise backup & replication of system data via cloud service
(primary/backup service)
Primary and backup Internet service
Continuity of computing services via redundant UPS’s and generator
Planned colocation of backup core business systems to ensure
continuity of services in the event administrative facilities are
inoperable
Next Steps:
Staff continues to hold and participate in group meetings, workshops
and exercises with internal stakeholders to obtain feedback on program
improvements and with SDCWA, County of San Diego, and outside agencies
for compliance and other key service updates.
