MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Don Bunts

Jaime Aguilar SUBJECT: Consideration and Action on Construction Services for the 2016 Reservoir

Recoating Project, C-1777 SUMMARY

Issue: The District is proposing to recoat the exteriors of several of the above ground steel reservoirs at various sites within the Mission Viejo and Rancho Santa Margarita areas.

Recommendations: 1) Award contract to Advanced Industrial Services, Inc. in the amount

of $1,646,900 and 2) Reallocate various project budgets to provide adequate funding as recommended herein.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for the proposed reservoir recoating project is from separate line item

budgets in the Planned Replacement, Repairs and Refurbishment (PRRR) Reserve of the District’s Fiscal Year 2015/16 Five Year Capital Improvement Program. Supplemental funding is available from Improvement District No. 1 bond funds for a dual tank site located in the Casta del Sol community. Additional funding is anticipated to be available from the reallocation of a PRRR project budget that may not require all of the established budget.

Previously Related Action: The District authorized a design services contract in May 2015

for exterior tank inspections and preparation of specifications for the tank recoating project.

Committee Status: On February 16 and March 11, the project was reviewed in concept by the EOC and on April 15, 2016 the EOC reviewed the project costs and approved the project. Adherence to Policy: • This project is consistent with the District’s mission

o “… to provide water that meets or exceeds standards, …” o “Provide a high level of service with maximum cost effectiveness.” o “Plan for the future to guarantee a safe and sufficient water supply. . .”

• This project is consistent with the District’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures, Section VI.

This proposed project is consistent with the District's Purchasing Policy because it: was competitively bid, was identified in the current fiscal year’s CIP and is more than $49,999 and requires Board approval.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The District has over 20 above ground steel tank reservoirs serving multiple pressure zones that provide operational storage for the domestic water system. Many of the steel tanks have been in service for over 25 years and exterior painting is typically required every 12 to 15 years to control corrosion and improve appearance. As exterior coatings on several tanks have reached their useful service lives, recoating of eight (8) tanks has been scheduled within the Planned Replacement, Repairs and Refurbishment (PRRR) Reserve portion of the District’s Fiscal Year 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program. Michael Baker International (MBI - formerly RBF Consulting) was retained as a corrosion consultant during mid-2015 to perform exterior coating inspections on each tank and prepare specifications for the necessary recoating activities. A list of the tanks proposed to be recoated is shown in Table 1 below. The site locations are shown on a map attached as Exhibit A. MBI-site inspections determined that three of the eight tanks have multiple layers of paint that are not practical to clean and over-coat. Removal of all older paint layers and primer (some lead-based) to bare metal is recommended before application of new primer and color coats is performed. Cleaning and over-coating of existing exterior paint has been performed in the past where it was feasible to minimize construction efforts and optimize expenditures. The paint over-coating method also served to encapsulate in-place lead-based primers which had been applied to older tanks prior to the delivery of the individual steel plates to the job site or after on-site tank assembly. As the existing coatings on newer reservoirs are generally in good condition, abrasive cleaning and over-coating is recommended for the remaining five tanks as indicated on the lower portion of Table 1.

to be performed

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 3 MBI’s opinion of probable construction cost to perform all recommended work for the eight (8) tanks with a 15% contingency amount was approximately $1.9 Million. For economy-of-scale purposes and anticipated savings to recoat all reservoirs as a combined project over a several-months-long period, one construction bid package was prepared. Roof ventilation assemblies on six of the eight tanks are also in a significantly corroded condition. Replacement roof vents are proposed to be fabricated and installed on these tanks along with any required localized interior lining repairs.

A footnote on Table 1 indicates that three of the tanks to be repainted have one or more leased cellular phone antenna systems on the structures. In order to avoid delaying the repainting work and incur any potential expenses should the cellular firms not remove their equipment in a timely manner, a portion of the repainting contract includes prices for the contractor to perform this removal work as additive bid items. If required, any removal of expenses will be back-charged to the individual cellular firm.

Any draining of the various tanks’ contents will be done in such a manner as to either release to areas tributary to the Oso Barrier or diversion to a nearby sewer so that the District can capture the discharged water and put it into the recycled water system. The 2016 Reservoir Repainting Project construction package was completed and advertised for bids in mid-March 2016 to seven (7) painting contractors on the District’s pre-qualified list. Five (5) contractors attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting and attended the site tour (six locations) on March 24, 2016. The District only considered bids from the contractors who attended the pre-bid meeting and four (4) bids were received and opened on April 6, 2016. Attached as Exhibit B is a tabulation of the bids submitted by the contractors. The low bidder, Advanced Industrial Services, Inc. (AIS) has not previously performed work for the District. A principal employee; however, was part of a firm (AA-1 Painting Services, Inc. – no longer in business) that had successfully completed recoating projects for the District in the past. AIS became aware of the bid process through the owner of AA-1 Painting Services, Inc. A review of four AIS references was conducted that included Moulton Niguel Water District (MNWD), Otay Water District (Otay - San Diego County) and Rancho California Water District (RCWD). The review indicated that AIS is competent to perform the proposed project. Several MNWD tanks had been successfully repainted by AIS in the last year according to MNWD Inspection staff. Otay indicated that AIS was one of the better coating firms they had worked with and RCWD has been pleased with their performance on all their projects. Lastly, a private water company in the San Jose area contracted exclusively with AIS to perform all their various tank repainting projects as the firm was consistently on schedule and within budget.

Based on this information, award of the contract to AIS is recommended.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 4 FUNDING: Construction funding for recoating of all listed reservoirs is primarily proposed from the PRRR Reserve in the District’s Fiscal Year 2015/2016 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Additional funding for repainting the Casta Del Sol Tanks has been budgeted within the Improvement District No. 1 (107) bonds. The 107 bonds are intended to be expended before PRRR funds are used. The table below provides the proposed funding breakdown for the project and mobilization, demobilization and site clean-up at each tank facility is included for each line item.

Amount

Casta del Sol Tank A & B (Zone II) B21 107 $205,000 Casta del Sol Tank A & B (Zone II) B21 PRRR $113,900 Plano Tank B (Zone IV) BH1 PRRR $303,200 Starr (Zone V) BI2 PRRR $209,800 Trabuco Ridge Tank A & B (Zone IV) BD1 PRRR $375,600 Rancho Trabuco (Zone V) BI1 PRRR $158,200 Foothill (Zone III) BB1 PRRR $281,200

Total Base Bid and Additive Bid Items $1,646,900 The apparent low bid amount received to perform the recoating work; however, is larger than the collective total of the amounts currently budgeted in the PRRR Reserve. Due to this unanticipated funding shortfall, a portion of the tank recoating project is recommended to be obtained primarily from reallocation of a PRRR line item budget established during Fiscal Year 2013-14 for the interior relining of Island Pasture Reservoir (IPR - Project Code G00BA1). The IPR interior relining project currently has a total PRRR/CIP budget of $700,000. Based on a consultant study that was recently completed which assessed the IPR interior lining it was determined that it was in reasonable condition. The study also recommended installation of supplemental cathodic protection anodes inside the IPR structure to preserve the existing interior lining. Anode installation could therefore defer any lining removal and replacement work for a potential period of 10 or more years. Based on this assessment, approximately $565,000 of the IPR project budget is recommended to be reallocated for use on this tank repainting project. A proposed PRRR Budget Reallocation is also recommended for each project to provide adequate funding for the repainting/repair work at each facility as indicated in the table below.

MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Don Bunts

Karla Houlihan SUBJECT: Consideration and Action on Construction Services for the Palmia Recycled Water

Project, Contract C-1254C.1 SUMMARY

Issue: The District is actively seeking ways to reduce domestic water use and increase the domestic water supply reliability. The Palmia neighborhood has 19 domestic meters that currently supply domestic water for irrigation of the slopes and common areas. Expansion of the existing Zone D recycled water distribution system that traverses the Palmia Community will be constructed to allow for the retrofit of these irrigation meters to recycled water services. The savings in domestic water will be up to 76 acre-feet per year.

Recommendation: Award contract to L & S Construction, Inc. (L&S Construction) for the

amount of $815,196.

Fiscal Impact: Funding is to be provided from Capital New Projects Reserve. Committee Status: On March 11, the project was reviewed in concept by the EOC and on

April 15, 2016 the EOC reviewed the project costs and approved the project.

Adherence to Policy:

• This project is consistent with the District’s mission o “…to provide our customers with quality water and wastewater services --

maximizing human, environmental, and financial resources -- to help guide South Orange County’s current and future water and wastewater needs.”

o “Provide a high level of service with maximum cost effectiveness.” o “Plan for the future to guarantee a safe and sufficient water supply and wastewater

reclamation service.” • This project is consistent with the District’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures

This proposed project is consistent with the District's Purchasing Policy because it was competitively bid, was identified in the current fiscal year’s CIP, is more than $50,000 and requires Board approval.

DISCUSSION: The Palmia Recycled Water Distribution System is located in the gated community of Palmia within the City of Mission Viejo. The proposed project includes the conversion of existing

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 domestic irrigation services to recycled water irrigation services. In order to make the conversions of the 19 accounts and allow for the potential to expand the Zone D system further in the future, lateral lines from the existing Zone D recycled water distribution system will be extended from three points of connection on the existing transmission main. The laterals will extend along Acapulco, Mazatlan and Riviera Streets. Exhibit A provides a vicinity map of the project area as well as the proposed distribution system. The project is an opportunity to expand the recycled water system and decrease the use of imported water supply for non-potable demands. The distribution system includes the installation of 4- and 6-inch PVC pipe along with necessary appurtenances. In a few instances the locations of the existing meters remain unchanged. However, in most instances the locations of the new meters have been optimized with the assistance of the onsite landscaper to minimize the length of pipe installation within the street. All existing meters will be replaced with Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) meters. All required notifications, markings and signs will be installed prior to providing service to ensure all irrigation systems are properly marked prior to recycled water being delivered. The contractor has been tasked with completing the construction and retrofit of the various laterals concurrently, if possible. Not only will this expedite the construction schedule it will also allow groups of services to be brought online as the construction of the distribution system progresses. The immediate conversion of irrigation accounts from domestic to recycled water will allow the customer and the District to realize the benefits of the project sooner rather than have to wait until the construction of the entire project is complete. Another benefit of expediting the project is to complete the pipeline installation prior to the Palmia community commencing on the repaving of the private streets. Four of the bidders on the District’s pre-qualified contractors list obtained the contract documents, and attended the pre-bid meeting held on March 24, 2016. The project bid date was April 7, 2016 and Exhibit B is a tabulation of the bid results received from the four pre-qualified contractors. The low bidder, L&S Construction, has successfully completed other District projects in the past and has most recently completed projects in Sendero, is currently working in Esencia on future District facilities and is finalizing work on the Califia Recycled Water Conversion Project in Mission Viejo. The apparent low-bid value will result in a cost of approximately $530/af assuming a project life of 20 years. Staff recommends award of the contract to L&S Construction to allow the construction services process to proceed. FUNDING Construction funding for this project will be from Project Code C00998.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Dustin Navarro Technology Enterprise Resource Plan Selection Team SUBJECT: Consideration and Action to Select Vendor(s) and Authorize Contract Negotiation

for the District Financial and Customer Service System (TERP) Implementations SUMMARY

Issue: The District has utilized SunGard Naviline for its financial and customer service software since 1989. Despite numerous upgrades, the system is inherently deficient due to its outdated software technology and limited functionality. Declining service from the vendor has compounded the need for replacement. In addition, the District’s current customer service computer system does not offer flexible support for the District’s budget-based rates. Recommendation: Approve selection of the following vendor(s) and authorize staff to begin contract negotiations:

• Finance/HR (ERP) software and implementation services with Tyler Technologies for a not-to-exceed price of $1,617,000 including estimated travel expenses and first year maintenance;

• Customer Service (CIS/UB) software and implementation services with Advanced Utility and Paymentus for a not-to-exceed price of $1,739,000 including estimated travel expenses and first year maintenance; and

• A separate multi-year annual maintenance contract(s) with Tyler Technologies and Advanced Utility. Annual Maintenance for each respective system is estimated at $71K annually. Final contracts will be reviewed and approved by District counsel

Fiscal Impact: The Technology Enterprise Resource Plan (TERP) program estimated a budget of $3.2 million for the Finance/HR (ERP), Customer Service (CIS), and Capital Planning Management (CPM) system(s) software and vendor services. CPM functionality was expected to be available in the ERP system. However, after demonstrations, staff found CPM functionality lacking in today’s ERP systems. Consequently, CPM is being further evaluated for cost and benefit. If a recommendation for separate CPM procurement is identified, it will be brought back to the Board as the original TERP budget estimate would need to be increased.


The funds for these system implementations will be included in the purchased assets budget (001-2001-5150199) for FY17, FY18, and FY19 under Customer Service System project and Finance/HR System project codes. Funding for annual support and maintenance and temporary staffing will be included in future operating budgets. A cost savings and payback summary for the recommended systems is included in Appendix G. Please see Appendix H for a summary of estimated temporary staff recommendations. Committee Status: The Finance and Administration Committee provided feedback at the March 14, 2016 committee meeting and recommended it be considered by the Board of Directors. Previous Related Action: The District worked with Westin Engineering to develop a Technology Assessment in 2011. The resulting assessment yielded recommendations for several new enterprise systems. A summary of the TERP activities leading to the selections outlined in this memo is available in Appendix A. On April 1, 2015 the Board authorized acceptance of the sole source proposal from Esri for GIS software, training, services, and support. The related GIS projects are an initiative within the TERP program.

DISCUSSION The District received the following responses to its Request for Proposals (RFP).

• Finance/Human Resources (ERP) – 4 proposals

• Customer Information Systems (CIS) – 7 proposals

• Capital Program Management (CPM) – 6 proposals The District formed a selection committee to evaluate, analyze and rate each proposal using a strict and thorough evaluation process. Please see Appendix B for a summary of District’s evaluation process. Recommendation: Finance/HR (ERP) Staff identified Tyler Technologies Munis (Tyler Munis) platform as the highest rated proposal for ERP system. Tyler Munis scored the highest in the areas of Implementation Approach, Ability to Meet Technical Requirements, Support and Maintenance, Cost, and Vendor Experience and Qualifications. Of the two finalist ERP vendors, Tyler Technologies (Tyler) had an overall lower investment and operating cost. Tyler also offered the most modern solution using the latest web technologies (HTML5, for example). Please see Appendix D for a summary of advantages of Tyler Munis and Appendices C and G for an investment summary and payback summary, respectively.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 3 Recommendation: Customer Service (CIS/Utility Billing) Staff identified Advanced Utility CIS Infinity (Advanced CIS Infinity) as the highest rated proposal for CIS system. Advanced CIS Infinity scored the highest in the areas of Implementation Approach, Ability to Meet Functional Requirements, Support and Maintenance, and Vendor Experience and Qualifications. The team felt that Advanced Utility (Advanced) was more intuitive, much easier to navigate than the other systems and would help staff provide enhanced customer service. Advanced was the only finalist with complete support for the District’s new rate structure. Staff felt Advanced CIS Infinity’s robust flexibility for rate structure forecasting and management were critical to meet the District’s future utility billing requirements. Please see Appendix E for a summary of advantages of Advanced CIS Infinity and Appendices C and G for an investment summary and payback summary, respectively. Paymentus Integration with Advanced CIS Infinity Advanced also includes a unique payment processor integration with Paymentus. The Advanced proposal allows the District to reduce its payment processing to a single vendor platform without having to use third party providers and complicated reconciliations. In addition, the platform boosts paperless adoption by offering customers an endless array of payment options in a robust customer portal. Currently the District uses EPX, Forte, and Global for payment processing, Infosend for ebilling, and Selectron Technologies and SunGard for Interactive Voice Response (IVR) services and interfaces. Please see Appendix F, for a summary of the Paymentus integration with Advanced. ERP, CIS, and CPM Project(s) Considerations

During the vendor negotiation and contract development process, the District will work with each vendor to define a tight scope of work. This scope will include a project schedule, and staff resource requirements. Staff and resource availability during key project periods are a critical detail that will be defined at this time. In the interim, the District’s project teams have worked closely with the consulting team to develop an estimated timeline for the upcoming Finance/HR (ERP), Customer Service (CIS), and Capital Program Management (CPM) projects. Until vendor negotiations are complete, the below timelines are just estimates.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 4 Estimated Project Timelines

Please see Appendix H, for a summary of the estimated temporary staffing recommendations for the ERP and CIS system implementations. Please note these temporary staff recommendations were not included in the estimated TERP budget. The TERP budget defined the software and professional services costs and not internal staff labor and temporary backfill needs.


APPENDIX

A. Program Summary

To support its effort to improve, and more effectively deal with its business challenges, the District worked with Westin Engineering to develop a Technology Assessment in 2011. The resulting assessment yielded recommendations for several new enterprise systems. In June 2014, the District presented the Board a recommended plan to proceed with the design, implementation, and steering of the framework recommended in the assessment. This resulted in the TERP. After receiving approval for the TERP program, the District established a Technology Steering Committee (TSC) to oversee the program in October 2014. In February 2015, the Board approved the selection of Plante Moran for professional consulting services on the 5 year program. District staff attended a formal program kickoff in April 2015. Based on recommendations from Plante Moran, the TSC elected to pursue a multi-system (joint) request for proposals (RFP). This RFP detailed the District’s requirements for finance, human resources and payroll, customer services, and capital program management systems. Subsequently, the District’s Customer Service, Finance, and Capital Planning project teams defined nearly 2,000 requirements for this RFP. On July 15, 2015, the District solicited proposals for comprehensive replacement of these systems. The proposals were received by the District on August 31, 2015. After two phases of evaluations by the selection team, the District scheduled finalist demonstrations in January and February 2016. All staff were invited to evaluate and score each finalist. The selection team met in February 12, 2016 to discuss the final selections and to initiate due diligence activities.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 6 B. Proposal Evaluation

The District formed a selection committee to establish evaluation criteria and evaluate proposals received. The following staff members made up of the 5 member committee:

• Chief Financial Officer

• Chief Engineer

• Customer Relations Manager

• Human Resources Manager

• Information Technology Manager

The committee analyzed and rated each proposal using a strict and thorough evaluation process. This included rating (1-5) each proposal in the following areas:

• Implementation Approach

• Ability to Meet Functional Requirements

• Ability to Meet Technical Requirements

• Support and Maintenance

• Cost

• Vendor Experience and Qualifications

The District invited the best scored proposers to demonstrate their software systems on-site using a structured script developed by each of the project teams. Each demonstration was evaluated by District staff and the selection committee. Evaluation criteria included the same areas identified above and two additional areas:

• Product Roadmap

• Other Value Added Products and Services

The District then interviewed other public agency references and conducted site visits to assess the performance of the finalists’ software systems in real-world settings. After this thorough vetting process, the highest rated software systems were determined.

A separate on-going maintenance contract will be presented when negotiations are complete. 2 Professional services to export and validate data from the District’s legacy SunGard (Finance/Customer Service) system. Once validated, the data will be cross-walked to the appropriate new system. 3 Professional services to integrate from the District’s legacy SunGard (Finance/Customer Service) system. This may not be required and is dependent on the go-live dates for the new ERP and CIS systems.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 8 D. Selected Proposal Benefits: Finance/HR Information System (ERP)

Tyler Munis strengths

• Financial Modules: the Tyler Munis Finance modules were evaluated as more intuitive and modern, and functional than the competition in the majority of categories. In particular the Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Contracts, Payroll, and General Ledger modules were highly rated. They also demonstrated very robust time and attendance (timekeeping) support that will allow the District to retire its manual paper based timecard process.

• Human Resources Modules: the Tyler Munis HR modules were evaluated as more intuitive and modern, and functional than the competition in the majority of categories. In particular, the Applicant tracking, Performance (Reviews) management, Benefits Administration, and Employee “Self-Service” portals were highly rated. They also demonstrated strong Federal and State reporting (example CALPERS reporting).

• Workflow Engine: the Tyler Munis workflow engine demonstrated significant capabilities to streamline common District Finance and HR processes. Workflows were easy to define and intuitive to understand. The competitor demonstration did not show the same level of workflow functionality.

• Reporting Engine: The Tyler Munis reporting engine offered intuitive “cube” based integration with Microsoft Excel allowing staff to easily build reports within excel. While the competition offered Excel integration, the Tyler Munis offering was evaluated as more intuitive and modern. District IT staff already have working knowledge of their reporting technologies: Microsoft SSRS, SharePoint, and Excel.

• Information Security: The Tyler Munis platform offered the most modern security controls both at the database level and at the system account level. Audit controls and functionality was strong. The role based access controls (RBAC) were intuitive and easy to administer. This solution was the only proposal that was developed to comply with the rigorous standards written by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

• Project Management and Implementation Methodology: Tyler demonstrated the strongest approach to an ERP project implementation. In particular, their approach to change management and project staffing were highly rated.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 9 E. Selected Proposal Benefits: Customer Information System (CIS)

Advanced CIS Infinity strengths

• Utility Rates Module: Advanced CIS Infinity offers a very flexible rate interface that would allow staff to make many rate structure programming changes in house. This is significant due to the challenges the District has experienced with the current SunGard system. Advanced specializes in the unique water budget rate structures prevalent within California. In contrast, the competition’s utility rate modules would require significant customization to meet the District’s rate structure requirements. Each of these systems would require the District to rely on the vendor to make any future (significant) rate structure changes.

• Cash Receipting Module: Advanced CIS Infinity offers robust Cash Receipting capabilities. Between $28 and $30 million in cash receipts are processed by the District annually; staff were concerned that the ERP proposals were not capable of handling this workload as it is not a specialization of ERP systems.

• Customer Portal: The Advanced CIS Infinity customer portal and mobile applications were evaluated as the most flexible and modern of those evaluated. For example, the Advanced CIS Infinity portal allows customers to compare their consumption with other customers. In addition, the next version will offer support for water conservation programs. This was unique among the final proposers.

• Interactive Voice Response (IVR): Advanced CIS Infinity supports deep integration with the District’s Cisco Call Manager system. This included automatic customer account number retrieval when a customer calls in. The other evaluated systems did not offer this level of integration.

• Backflow Module: Advanced CIS Infinity offers a very robust backflow management reporting module. Most competitor backflow management modules lacked a customer portal for third party backflow reporting among other weaknesses. A third party portal greatly streamlines the current backflow management effort. Staff estimated 53 hours in monthly manual processing can be reduced using this module.

• Workflow Engine: the Advanced CIS Infinity workflow engine demonstrated significant capabilities to streamline common customer service processes (often to a single step). Workflows were easy to define and intuitive to understand. The competitor demonstrations did not show the same level of workflow functionality.

• Project Management and Implementation methodology: Advanced demonstrated the strongest approach to a CIS project implementation. In particular, their approach to change management and project staffing requirements were highlights.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 10 F. Paymentus Integration with Advanced CIS Infinity

Through Advanced CIS Infinity’s Paymentus integration, the District’s multitude of per transaction fees (Website, Phone, Check, Credit Card etc.) and annual IVR maintenance costs will be reduced down to the following:

• ACH/echeck at $0.20 per transaction

• Credit Cards at $1.29 per transaction

This will provide a single dashboard for reporting, thus promoting an ease of reconciliation for both echecks and credit cards. This will also promote a consistency in data and the look-and-feel to the customer which improves the user experience. Other web-hosted/IVR payment solutions require additional costs for implementation, software, licensing, annual maintenance, annual bank interchange gateway fees, and if credit card data is stored on the District’s network, the District will be required to maintain a higher level of Payment Card Industry (PCI) security standard and compliance which increase the annual expense to maintain the stringent standards. By selecting Paymentus, the District will not incur these extra costs. It should be noted, Paymentus is also a partner with Infosend, the District’s current bill print and payment provider. This reduces operational costs due to this shared efficiency.

Using this integration saves the District a small amount (estimated $1K4 annually) when only considering typical transaction counts. However, on top of this savings, the District does not have to pay annual IVR maintenance ($23K5) and integration fees ($31K6). In addition, the platform boosts paperless adoption by offering customers an endless array of payment options including:

• Text

• Mobile App

• Customer Portal

• Phone (automated IVR)

• Email

• Paperless eBilling

• Tablet Kiosk (onsite or at key locations)

4 Based on average transaction counts for the first 6 months of FY16. 5 $20K annual maintenance imposed by Selectron (IVR vendor), and $2.6K would be imposed by Advanced (if using Selectron’s IVR). 6 $20K integration costs would be incurred by Selectron (IVR vendor), and $10.5K incurred by Advanced (if using Selectron’s IVR).

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 11 G. Cost Savings and Payback Summary The recommended Finance and Customer Service systems are anticipated to produce real, hard dollar savings resulting from retired systems and services, and labor savings due to increased process efficiencies. The following graph illustrates the projected costs and cost savings7 associated with the implementation of Tyler Munis8 for finance and payroll/human resource management, and Advanced CIS Infinity for customer service and utility billing. Typical ERP and CIS systems are in place for 15 or more years. Cumulative Cost Savings (Over 10 Years)

*Costs assume 3% annual inflation. *Year 1 begins at contract signing in summer 2016, when the first payments will be due. *Savings assume no inflation factor. 7 To remain conservative in cost savings estimates, some items were not included, or included at a lower savings amount than may be realized. For example, the hard WaterSmart cost savings assume the software can be reduced in scope, but not completely eliminated. However, there is potential for the Advanced CIS Infinity customer portal (Infinity Link) to replace WaterSmart. Additionally, business intelligence tools through Advanced will likely enable the District to reduce rate forecasting service fees. Due to uncertainty these figures were not included. 8 The District has had SunGard HTE since 1989, and must now completely replace this system. Tyler’s “Evergreen Philosophy” could eliminate the need to replace the ERP system in the future.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 12 Hard Dollar Savings The new ERP (Finance/HR) and CIS (Customer Service) system(s) will require deployment and operation of approximately 10-12 new servers. The District will leverage its modern virtual server infrastructure to host these new servers. There will be no need to purchase additional server hardware. This will save the District approximately $100,000 in hardware costs. In addition, upon system go-live, the following operational services or upgrades will be reduced or no longer required: Systems and Services to retire or reduce (example)

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 15 H. Implementation Staffing During the vendor negotiation and contract development process, the District will work with each vendor to define a tight scope of work. This scope will include a project schedule, and staff resource requirements. Please note these temporary staff recommendations were not included in the estimated TERP budget. The TERP budget defined the software and professional services costs and not internal staff labor and temporary backfill needs. In the interim, the District’s project teams have worked closely with the consulting team to develop an estimated staffing plan (based on the estimated proposed timeline) for the upcoming Finance/HR (ERP), Customer Service (CIS), and Capital Program Management (CPM) projects. Until vendor negotiations are complete, the below temporary staff requirements are currently just estimates. Estimated Temporary – Backfill Staff (for future FY budget)

The recommended timeline is to begin with the Chart of Account restructure and General Ledger development. This will allow a point of integration for the new Customer Service system (and other systems such as CPM). Tyler recommends a timeline of 36-40 months (over 3 phases) for ERP and CIS. As phases and projects wind down, a new project can start up. With limited District staff resources available, staggering of projects is recommended. Staff workload will be the key constraint. Temporary staff resources can be filled via traditional staffing firms and/or additional consulting hours (for Business or Project Analysts). During the upcoming FY 2017 through FY 2019 budget development processes, the ERP, CIS, and CPM project staffing requirements will be recommended.

MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Don Bunts SUBJECT: Consideration and Action on Proposed Financing Agreement for Lake Mission

Viejo Advanced Purified Water Project between City of Mission Viejo and Santa Margarita Water District

SUMMARY

Issue: The District is proposing to construct Advanced Purified Water Treatment Facilities (APWTF) to supply highly treated recycled water as lake fill water for Lake Mission Viejo. The District intends on using borrowed monies for funding the capital costs associated to the APWTF which will be paid back by the Lake Mission Viejo Association. These funds would be acquired from tax exempt fund sources.

Recommendation: Approve entering in the Water Treatment Facility Funding and Recycled Water Purchase Agreement with the City of Mission Viejo.

Fiscal Impact: The capital cost for the project will ultimately be repaid by the Lake Mission

Viejo Association as addressed in the recently approved agreement. Financing will be secured by the District with a variable cost of funds including a $1 million grant from the City of Mission Viejo, a $3 million loan at 2.5% interest from the City of Mission Viejo and the remainder of the capital cost being obtained from a private placed loan with a maximum cost of funds assumed to be obtained through tax-exempt obligations is currently between 3.5% and 3.75%. Additional fiscal impact is the reduction in lost revenue from the sale of the first 300 acre feet per year (afy) at a rate that is $93 less than the District’s retail rate for recycled water.

Previously Related Action: The District has previously approved the agreement to construct

and operated the facilities at the February 19, 2016 Board meeting. Adherence to Policy: This project is consistent with the SMWD mission statement “The Santa Margarita Water District provides our customers with quality water and wastewater service - maximizing human, environmental, and financial resources. . .” Committee Status: Item not reviewed by the Engineering/Operations Committee.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 DISCUSSION The District intends on constructing these facilities with borrowed funds. The funds will be repaid by the Lake Mission Viejo Association. The City of Mission Viejo is interested in providing a $1 million grant and up to a 20-year, $3 million loan at a 2.5% interest rate to assist in the financing of the project. As a part of the agreement that the City Council approved at the April 12, 2016 council meeting, the City will be able to purchase up to 300 acre-feet of recycled water at a rate that is $93 below the District’s applicable recycled water rate for 25 years. This equates to $697,500 over the 25 year life or $27,900 per year. The current language of the agreement is included as Attachment A. It is proposed that the remaining costs associated with the project be funded from either a privately placed tax exempt loan fund or as a loan from other District reserves. The privately funded approach is currently available at favorable rates, 3.5% - 3.75%, and can be completed within 30-60 days. Because of the timing for these facilities, it is not possible to obtain loans from the SRF or other similar programs.

ADVANCED PURIFIED WATER TREATMENT FACILITY FUNDING AND RECYCLED WATER PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Advanced Purified Water Treatment Facility Funding and Recycled Water Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April __, 2016, by and between the Santa Margarita Water District, a California water district (“SMWD”) and the City of Mission Viejo, a municipal corporation (“City”), each of which is sometimes individually referred to herein as a “party” and collectively as the “parties”.

FINDINGS AND RECITALS

A. SMWD currently produces recycled water that is treated to standards for irrigation and other non-potable uses in accordance with Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations (“Title 22”) at its water reclamation facilities (“Recycled Water”);

B. SMWD currently delivers potable water to Lake Mission Viejo Association

(“LMVA”) for the purpose of maintaining water elevation levels at the 124-acre lake that is owned and operated by LMVA within the City of Mission Viejo (“Lake”).

C. SMWD has lawfully approved, including statutory environmental review and approval, and now desires to finance, build, own and operate an advanced purified water treatment facility (“APWTF”) that will allow it to further polish Recycled Water to meet enhanced water quality standards for the Lake and other potential uses and thereby maximize its supply of potable water for domestic use.

D. The City is currently a recycled water customer of SMWD, however, it desires to enhance its water supply options by obtaining a long term commitment for Recycled Water at a reduced rate and the City is willing to provide grants and loans to SMWD to assist with the financing of the APWTF in exchange for a commitment by SMWD to provide Recycled Water to the City at a long term discounted rate. Further, and of equal importance, the City seeks to accomplish the following public purposes via this Agreement, to the extent lawful and feasible: provide opportunities for the City to implement its revised Investment Policy, enhance and demonstrate local agency to agency cooperation; enhance drought emergency response actions; preserve and enhance prominent community features and landmarks, preserve local property values and advance the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan and all included Elements thereof.

E. The City Council reasonable finds, on the totality of the record, including the oral and written testimony for this and related action items that this Agreement will promote a direct, valid and substantial public purpose which is within the City’s authorized mission and power and which will directly assist the City in accomplishing its authorized public responsibilities, despite according incidental benefit to individuals or entities receiving derivative benefits

55411.00000\24638455.1 2

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT Section 1. Incorporation of Findings and Recitals

1.1 The foregoing Findings and Recitals, and each of them, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement as though set forth in full.

Section 2. Recycled Water Service

2.1 Delivery Commitment. During the term of this Agreement, for twenty five (25) consecutive water years commencing on the Commencement Date, SMWD agrees to deliver and sell and City may purchase up to three hundred (300) acre feet of Recycled Water each water year (“Delivery Volume”) at the rate set forth in Section 2.3. Recycled Water in excess of the Delivery Volume will continue to be available to the City on an as available basis at standard retail rates. The term of this Agreement will commence on [__________] (“Commencement Date”). For the purposes of this Agreement, each water year will commence on July 1. If the Commencement Date or the termination or expiration of this Agreement occurs during a water year, then the Delivery Volume for that year will be pro-rated in accordance with the number of days remaining in the water year.

2.2 Point of Delivery. The point of delivery of the Delivery Volume to the City will be through any of the City’s existing recycled water service connections with SMWD.

2.3 Recycled Water Rate. The City will pay for Recycled Water on a per acre foot basis at a rate that is equal to SMWD’s rate for retail recycled water in effect at the time of delivery, provided, however, that for the Delivery Volume, SMWD will rebate to the City an amount equal to Ninety-Three Dollars ($93.00) per acre foot. The rebate amount will be credited to the City on a quarterly basis beginning October 1, 2016. To the extent that the rebate exceeds the amount owed to SMWD by the City for Recycled Water purchases, then SMWD will make a payment to the City of the credit amount.

2.4 Water Quality and Usage Restrictions. All Recycled Water delivered by SMWD will meet or exceed the quality requirements established from time to time by the State of California for Title 22 water at the point of delivery. City shall have no obligation to purchase or take delivery of Recycled Water which fails to meet such quality standards, provided, however, that rejection of non-conforming Recycled Water does not relieve SMWD of its obligations to provide conforming Recycled Water under this Agreement. Following the point of delivery, the City is responsible for any change in the quality of the Recycled Water. There will be no restrictions on the reuse of Recycled Water by the City, provided, however, that the City will be solely responsible for determining if any particular use of Recycled Water is in compliance with applicable federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations.

2.5 Curtailment. The Delivery Volume will be subject to reduction or curtailment on a pro-rata basis with other SMWD customers who have contractual volume commitments in the event of a declaration of any water shortage or drought that contains mandatory reductions which

55411.00000\24638455.1 3

apply to Recycled Water use, provided, however, that such reduction or curtailments will first be applied to customers that do not have contractual volume commitments. SMWD further reserves the right to reduce deliveries of Recycled Water in the event that wastewater inflows are insufficient to generate Recycled Water in quantities sufficient to meet all of SMWD’s contractual volume commitments.

2.6 SMWD Rules and Regulations. The delivery of Recycled Water will further be subject to the rules and regulations of SMWD with respect to the delivery of Recycled Water to its customers, as the same may be amended from time to time. SMWD will not adopt any rule or regulation which impairs the rights of City under this Agreement unless such rule or regulation is reasonable and generally applies to Recycled Water customers.

2.7 Billing. SMWD shall invoice City for Recycled Water that is delivered to City in accordance with SMWD’s standard billing practices.

Section 3. Funding for the APWTF.

3.1 Grant Funding. The City agrees to provide SMWD with a grant for the design and construction of the APWTF in an amount equal to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (“Grant”).

Provided that the construction of the APWTF is completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Grant will not be subject to repayment. If the construction of the APWTF is not completed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then SMWD will reimburse the City for any amount of the Grant which has been disbursed to SMWD within thirty (30) days of the termination of this Agreement by the City.

3.2 Loan Funding. The City agrees to loan SMWD the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for the design and construction of the APWTF (“Loan”).

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Dan Ferons SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2017 District Budget Update SUMMARY

Issue: The District is preparing the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2016/2017 (FY 2017) which will be based on the proposed annual business plan for strategic and core goals of the District. The proposed budget will compare the forecast FY 2016 year-end and the FY 2017 proposed fiscal requirements. Recommendation: Information item only. Fiscal Impact: The budget establishes the cash needs, projects purchases and expenses, and is used to establish rates and charges for the fiscal year. Previous Related Action: The Board approved the fiscal year 2016 reforecast budget on January 22, 2016 and annually reviews/adopts the District’s budget. FY 2017 budget updates were presented to the Finance and Administration Committee in March and April 2016 and to the Board on April 6 2016.

DISCUSSION The District is in the midst of the FY 2017 budget process. Each of the District departments have prepared their preliminary budgets and first drafts have been returned to the departments after initial reviews were completed. Each department is currently updating its draft budgets and will return any revisions to Finance for additional review. We anticipate a clean working draft by the end of April. The schedule is to have a draft of the FY 2017 budget for the Finance and Administration Committee to review prior to being presented to the Board for approval/adoption in May. CURRENT ASSUMPTIONS Water Demands The FY 2017 budget assumptions will continue to conservatively utilize the average 24% reduction in domestic water purchases. Using last year’s usage pattern, the District experienced a greater reduction during the summer months compared to the cooler winter months. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) recently reduced our drought reduction requirement from

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 24% to 23%, primarily due to the District’s growth since 2013. As the change was relatively minor, the FY 2017 budget will continue to utilize the current 24% reduction scenario. The District is also analyzing alternative scenarios, should the drought restrictions ease or customer usage increase as a result of additional water allocations. Preliminary studies have indicated that customer usage habits may rebound, although not to the levels of use that occurred prior to the mandated restrictions. In addition, demand projections will be modulated by two other significant issues:

• New homes are being constructed with conservation devices which reduce overall water usage compared to older existing homes in the District. The expected result is that if drought restrictions are eased, these newer homes will not generate the same increases in usage as the older homes currently do.

• Conversion to recycled water will reduce domestic demands offsetting the increase that new homes have brought to the District.

The model prepared by M-Cubed assumed the water demands would rebound after the drought and when compared to long-term averages and considering the conversions to recycled water, the M-Cubed demand projections are being considered for the upper end of demand.

Baker Water Treatment Plant The District funded the capital construction cost of the Baker Water Treatment Plant with $15.5 million of General Obligation bonds and $13.0 million of District Capital Project Reserves. An analysis was performed which compared the volumetric cost of treated water purchased through MWDOC with the cost of treated water produced by the Baker Plant. The preliminary analysis indicates that the Baker Plant production has the opportunity to generate savings that can be utilized to replenish the Capital Project Reserves as well as helps the District meet its goals for system reliability. Utilizing the Baker Plant treatment facility could provide an estimated savings of $104 dollars per acre foot for the District. Below is the estimated cost breakdown of the Baker treated water compared to MWDOC treated water.

Individual Retrofits

See attached spreadsheet providing an update on the various projects. Focus on projects serving the Lake Mission Viejo Association and the City of Lake Mission Viejo is taking place. Anticipated that the projects will be completed prior to July.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 Lake Mission Viejo Advance Purification Project Negotiations with various vendors are being finalized for the purchasing of long lead items required for the construction of the project. The geotechnical report has been finalized and the site topography mapped. Additional layout work of the proposed facilities is taking place to finalize the configuration of the site. The LRP application has been given preliminary approval by MET based on the 15-year term at a sliding value that is capped at $475/af. TREATMENT FACILITY MODIFICATIONS/REHABILITATION Chiquita Water Reclamation Plant Plant influent flow averages of 6.4 MGD (million gallons per day) are up by 0.2 MGD from February 2016 averages. This increase is being attributed to flush water being added to the Esencia trunk line to assist in minimizing the potential of odors emanating from the in-tract sewer. Chiquita’s lowest recorded average influent flow of 5.6 MGD in July, 2015. One of the recycled water pumps that serves the Ladera system has developed a mechanical failure. Though not yet confirmed, plant mechanics suspect a lower motor bearing failure. This unit ‘P-7’ was the only pump that was not re-designed two years ago with the additional two pumps that service that system. Those units’ P-5 and P-6, were reengineered and modified to increase pumping capacity to assist in maintaining adequate flows to the Sendero Grading Project, as well as Color-Spot, La Pere, La Pata and Rancho Mission Viejo demands of last year. SCC Construction was recently awarded the Chiquita Upgrade Project Contract. This project which consists of the installation of two Huber Screw Presses, a 5,000-gallon bulk polymer storage tank, new screw conveyor, and new sludge feed piping modifications to the dewatering process is expected to begin in late May. The Screw presses are projected to produce a cake solids dryness of 22-23% T.S. This will improve upon the current belt press performance of 17% T.S. The reduced weight associated with lower moisture content will reduce the biosolids hauling costs. The addition of a bulk polymer storage tank will allow bulk chemical pricing, and even greater benefits will be achieved as labor-intensive handling of 300-gallon polymer tote bins will be eliminated. The project also includes the installation of a new Huber grit classifier to replace the existing unit. This process will produce a far cleaner inorganic material that is expected to eliminate the existing odor potential from this plant process. A tertiary filter overflow structure will eliminate any potential for structure overflow occurrences that are associated with PLC controlled process of this configuration. The Regional Board is performing a site inspection scheduled for May 25, 2016. These inspections are fairly routine and are conducted to inspect facility operations standards as well as review all regulatory documentation and records.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 3 There will be some staff rotations occurring in April 2016, between the 3A and Chiquita Treatment Facilities. These staff rotations are necessary to ensure continued flexibility and cross-training of all treatment plant operators. It is expected that this will add at least two personnel to the weekend coverage and standby duties, as an end result of this cross-training exercise. Chiquita plant treated 197.7 million gallons (MG) of wastewater and produced approximately 240.1 acre-ft (af) (~78.2 MG) of recycled water (~39.6% recovery). 739.9 tons of biosolids were processed with 205.8 tons going to Synagro, 232.6 tons taken to Prima Deshecha Landfill and 293.5 being handled by Nursery Products. Oso Creek Water Reclamation Plant On March 9 the plant was taken off line in the early evening for planned electrical maintenance at the Zone B substation. Zone B Pump 3 was removed and sent out for repair. This pump had lost over half its capacity and it is anticipated that the refurbishment will restore the total pumping capacity. On March 31 Zone B Pump 1 was returned to service. It had been out of service because of a failure to its VFD but on that date the drive repairs were completed. On March 31 Aeration Blower 3 went out of service. It is believed the blower failure is caused by a power supply failure in the control module of the blower and replacement of the power supply is in process. The plant treated approximately 53.1 mg of wastewater and produced 139 af (45.3 mg) of recycled water over the last month. This is a recovery of 85.3% of the wastewater flow for reuse. 3A Water Reclamation Plant The plant was taken out of service to perform major repairs including replacement of the aeration air line. A plug was installed at the manhole which collects flow from every source to the plant. This manhole is designated as MH #11. With this plug installed the incoming sewage was forced through a by-pass conveying line linking to the Oso-Trabuco Interceptor line which connects to the J B Latham plant in Dana Point. Because of the plant shutdown and the desire to keep the plant’s anaerobic digester operational primary sludge was imported from Chiquita. Starting on March 4, eight truckloads of sludge were received. The other shipments were on March 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, and 21. During the first week of the shutdown, District mechanics replaced the discharge isolation valves for each of the plants four raw sewage pumps. The existing valves were all found to be impossible to fully close which would make repairs to the pumps difficult without shutting down the plant and bypassing all of its flow.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 4 The plant’s aeration blowers were shut down for commencement of the aeration air line repair portion of the SOCWA funded Miscellaneous Improvements project. In this project, the leaky pipes that convey air to the plant’s aeration system were abandoned and replaced by a new system mounted above grade. The bulk of the work was completed by March 14 except for coating of the new piping. After completion of the coating the blowers were restarted on March 18. After running the blower for a few hours it became evident that adjustments needed to be made in a portion of the line. The dismantling joint that connected the new piping to the old at the blower discharge was not changed during the project and it began to fail. After consultation with the project engineers, SS Mechanical installed tightening rods around the periphery of the pipes to strengthen the failed joint. This repair was successful and the blowers restarted on March 23. On March 14 SS Mechanical installed overflow valves in the filtered water reservoir. This project was executed to allow the AWT filters to operate without producing water to the nondomestic Galivan Reservoir. This gives the operators the flexibility to test the filters during startup without sending off-spec water to the reservoir and allows faster recovery from plant upsets. During the shutdown, District staff performed repairs to the slide gates used to isolate and control flow into the two aeration basins. The frozen inlet gate which blocked flow to the Clarifier #4 was also repaired which now provides full access to all the plant’s clarifiers. Part of the District’s plan during this shutdown was to remove accumulated grit and grease from the plant’s headworks. After earlier attempts to remove this material using District vacuum trucks failed it was decided to attempt to use the plant’s raw sewage pumps. A mixing pump was installed in the influent wet well and the pumps were started one by one. While the mixing pump and the influent pump operated a trash pump was used to convey water from MH #11 to the wetwell to help flush out the debris. This proved successful and it was then possible to clean the wetwell in one day, March 15. The following day using the District’s vacuum trucks, the grit and debris that accumulated in the feed channel were collected and disposed of offsite. With the influent wet well cleaned up it was then possible to pump it down enough to allow repairs to the raw sewage pump inlet isolation valves. These knife gate valves had been tested earlier and two had been found to be in need of repair. These were replaced on March 16. While this work was being done the mechanics discovered cracks in the suction plate of Raw Sewage Pumps #2 and #3. Pump #2 was removed and is scheduled to be picked up for evaluation to determine which repairs are needed. Also after completion of the wet well cleanup another of the planned projects commenced. It had previously been found that the isolation gates for the two bar screen channels were completely frozen in place and not repairable. District mechanics removed the gates except for the vertical beams that contained channels that control the up and down movement of the gates. Replacement aluminum gates are being constructed that will be stored out of the water and dropped into these slots when needed to isolate a bar screen for repairs. This project was completed on March 21.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 5 The plug was removed from MH #11 early in the morning and later that day Raw Sewage Pump #4 was restarted bringing water back into the plant. The tanks filled during the day and later in the evening overflow from the secondary clarifiers commenced. Starting March 25 shipments of secondary sludge from Chiquita began. This sludge was introduced to Aeration Basin #2 as seed sludge to speed up the recovery of the activated sludge system. Shipments of 15,000 gallons per day were received on March 24, 25, and 28. By March 28 the system had recovered to the extent that the next planned delivery of seed sludge was canceled. Sampling of the secondary effluent began on March 28. The TSS, pH, and turbidity of that sample and subsequent samples were all well within regulatory limits. On March 30 the applied water pumps were turned on to feed water to the filters. The filtered water pumps were kept off and the overflow valves that had been installed in the filtered water wet well performed as expected. Also after a short startup period the filtered water turbidity reached the regulatory limits of less than 2 NTU. On March 31, after discussion with MNWD distribution operators, the filter pumps were started and water began flowing to the Galivan reservoir. Also later during the day the effluent flow diversion to J B Latham was ended and excess secondary effluent began flowing to the ocean outfall. The plant treated approximately 13.3 mg of wastewater and produced 0 af (0.0 mg) of recycled water over the last month. This is a recovery of 0.0% of the wastewater flow for reuse. CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY Esencia Lift Station

The work is complete with minor cleanup being accomplished. The lift station is pumping sewage generated by the southernmost portion of Esencia.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 6 Califia Recycled Water Conversions

The project is entering the final two phases. Approximately two thirds of the sites are already using recycled water for irrigation, accounting for approximately 140 acre feet on an annual basis.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016 FROM: Jim Leach SUBJECT: External Affairs Activity Report SUMMARY Issue: The following contains legislative, media, and community relations information for February.

Recommendation: Information only.

Fiscal Impact: None anticipated.

Previous Related Action: The District receives a monthly report on community relations, legislative, and other external relations activities. DISCUSSION Legislative 2,086 bills introduced this year alone: 705 in the Senate and 1,381 in the Assembly. Staff is working closely with our MWDOC and our fellow agencies to identify legislation with broad interest and impact regionally as well as items that of specific interest to SMWD. A full list of general interest to the region is attached as Attachment A. Staff participates with the MWDOC Public Affairs and Legislation Committee, the Southern California Water Committee Legislative Task Force, and the CSDA Legislative Committee. Priority legislation includes: AB 1713 (Eggman D) Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta: peripheral canal. UPDATE: Bill was referred to Water, Parks & Wildlife Committee. April 7 hearing was cancelled at the author’s request. The bill would prohibit the construction of a peripheral canal, as defined (The Delta Fix), unless expressly authorized by an initiative voted on by the voters of California on or after January 1, 2017. Position of the industry: Oppose

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 2 Impact on SMWD: The bill could have the affect of killing the Delta Fix which would have a deleterious affect on the long-term water supply from the State Water Project. AB 2583 (Frazier) Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Reform Act of 2009 The bill adds significant requirements to the Delta Reform Act for California WaterFix that would have the effect of delaying the start of construction for at least several years and add new financial and regulatory burdens to the operations of new Delta conveyance. Position of the industry: Oppose. SMWD joined a coalition of agencies in a letter of opposition. See Attachment B. Impact on SMWD: The bill would have a deleterious impact on the long-term water supply from the State Water Project SB 163 (Hertzberg D) Wastewater treatment: recycled water. UPDATE: This bill is currently held in the Rules Committee, but the author continues to meet with interested parties on amendments. SMWD has extended an invitation to the author for a meeting to discuss impacts and possible amendments. This is a return of the bill from last session that would require that the discharge of treated wastewater from ocean outfalls is a waste and unreasonable use of water in light of the cost-effec-tive opportunities to recycle for further beneficial use. It would require a wastewater treatment facility discharging through an ocean outfall to achieve at least 50% reuse of the facility's actual annual on or before January 1, 2026. Position of the industry: Watch - The bill is currently undergoing further analysis and discussion. Impact on SMWD: Could impose significant capital and administrative burdens on the District. SB 814 (Hill D) Drought: excessive water use: urban retail water suppliers. UPDATE: The bill has been through the committee on Natural Resources & Water and Judiciary. It is currently in Appropriations. An amendment was added to note that the bill does not trigger reimbursement from the state for a number of reasons. This bill would declare that excessive water use, as defined by each urban retail water supplier, is a waste or unreasonable use of water and would prohibit excessive water use by a residential cus-tomer. It would make a violation of this prohibition punishable by a fine of at least $500 per 100 cubic feet of water used above the excessive water use definition in a billing cycle. Position of the industry: Oppose unless amended Impact on SMWD: This bill would create a new infraction and impose a state-mandated local program that could result in additional unfunded administrative burdens.

Board of Directors April 22, 2016 Page 3 AB 1925 (Chang) Desalination: statewide goal. This bill would establish a goal to desalinate 300,000 acre-feet of drinking water per year by the year 2025 and 500,000 acre-feet of drinking water per year by the year 2030. This bill is being pushed by CalDesal. Position of the industry: Watch Impact on SMWD: Bill could assist in the development of ocean desalinization projects that would help address the District’s supply goals. ACA 8 (Bloom) Local government financing: water facilities and infrastructure: voter approval This bill would create an additional exception to the 1% limit for a rate to service bonded indebtedness incurred to fund capital projects that is approved by 55% of the voters if the proposition meets specified requirements, and would authorize a special district to levy a 55% vote ad valorem tax Position of the industry: Support Impact on SMWD: Would provide a alternative approach to funding infrastructure projects with a reduced regulatory burden. SB 885 (Wolk) Construction contracts: indemnity This bill would eliminate the ability of a public agency to contract with engineers and architects, known as design professionals, for upfront legal defense costs against claims related to a project’s design work. Position of the industry: Oppose – Letter drafted Impact on SMWD: Would prohibit the District from requiring contracted design professionals to defend a claim directly connected to the work of the design professional. A complete chart of proposed legislation is attached as Attachment C County of Orange On March 15th, the Board of Supervisors adopted an updated “County of Orange Landscape Irri-gation Code.” The code is purportedly a more consumer-friendly landscaping law instead of the State of California’s Model Ordinance. Rate Restructure Efforts Communications efforts on the rate restructure in March included:

Assembly Member Jim Frazier

California State Assembly

State Capitol, Room 3091

Sacramento, CA 95814

Re: AB 2583 (Frazier): Delta Reform Act of 2009 - OPPOSE

Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee – April 12, 2016

Dear Assembly Member Frazier:

On behalf of the public water agencies and organizations noted below, we regret to inform you we must

oppose your bill, AB 2583, as it creates an unnecessary and destructive double standard in California for

advancing projects to modernize the statewide water system.

Attachment B

The subset of public water suppliers that receive deliveries directly from the Sacramento-San Joaquin

Bay/Delta should not be regulated any differently than the water users that divert a far greater quantity

of water upstream. AB 2583 would establish a faulty regulatory scheme in a number of unproductive

ways and represents a step backward in meeting California’s co-equal goals of a reliable water supply

and a restored Delta ecosystem.

The Delta Reform Act of 2009 established a path forward to modernize the statewide water system and

establish new governance structures such as the Delta Stewardship Council to meet the co-equal goals.

AB 2583 proposes a variety of new impediments that are designed to thwart, not advance, water

progress in California. This measure, for example, attempts to impose new financing requirements on

federal facilities owned and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. AB 2583 seeks to mandate

how the Central Valley Project is to recover costs, far beyond the state’s jurisdiction relating to these

vital federal facilities. AB 2583 also seeks to impose new requirements on regional self-sufficiency for

some regions that rely on the Delta watershed, but not others such as your own district. The Delta

Reform Act takes a watershed-based approach to promoting regional self-sufficiency, while AB 2583

does not.

AB 2583 seeks to mandate a timetable for an independent state body, the State Water Resources

Control Board (SWRCB), for its ongoing process of updating the Bay-Delta Water Quality Control Plan.

Legislative intervention is neither helpful nor appropriate. Your bill rewrites the 2009 Delta Reform Act

to put new and onerous mandates on a single covered action under the jurisdiction of the Delta

Stewardship Council – California WaterFix – and no others.

No water modernization project in California can happen without meeting every state and national

environmental law and complying with the California water rights system via the SWRCB. That holds

true for the Delta and upstream. Legislation that would create onerous standards for some projects, and

not others, are not good-faith attempts to making water progress in California.

California is one state. We need solutions that meet all of California’s water needs in a sustainable,

responsible manner. We oppose AB 2583 for seeking to set different standards for different regions and

for rewriting the letter and spirit of legislative water policy that has served California well.

For all the above-stated reasons, we, the undersigned, oppose AB 2583.

District Call Activity

• March 2016 was a very active month for the Customer Relations Department. The staff managed to accept twice as many calls as we typically do on any given month. The increase was due primarily to the revised rate structure. The department did an excellent job of minimizing the abandonded calls by engaging three of the staff members from our processing group. This group does not typically respond to the calls coming into the Customer Relations Queue. They were able to shift work responsibilities which allowed them the time to respond to customer inquiries. Working with the Public Relations team we were able to ensure information was available to our customers in various formats. The teams worked together efficiently and effectively.

• Began tracking “VARIANCE” inquiries March 2016.

• December 2015 holiday schedule (2.5 days) resulted in considerable reduction in incoming calls for the month of December 2015

• Updated categories July 2015

MEMORANDUM

TO: Board of Directors DATE: April 22, 2016

FROM: Dan Ferons

SUBJECT: Mandatory Conservation Update

DISCUSSION: State Board Hearing on Current Emergency Regulation for Statewide Urban Water Conservation Drought The State Board is holding a hearing on its current Emergency Regulations and the District, in conjunction with a number of other agencies, provided the attached comment letter. The comments primarily requested the State to allow regions and local agencies to identify the water shortage and proposed allocations for the next three years instead of the top down approach that has been in place. This better reflects the variable condition in the state and the availability of local resources. The Hearing is April 20th and we will provide a report on the discussion. Weather Forecast

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center recently predicted El Nino will stay for another couple of months and then give way to La Nina in the fall with a 70 percent chance. La Nina’s typically feature unusually cool ocean water and drier-than-normal winters. Since El Nino’s impact has been relatively light in Southern California and slightly above average in Northern California, the prediction may portend a continuation of drought conditions.

However, Bill Patzert, climate scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was quoted in a Associated Press article as saying, “what I learned this winter is that normal is a cycle on a washing machine”1. We will continue to monitor reports. Cumulative Totals The State Board approved the District for a 1% growth adjustment factor in our conservation target making the District’s new conservation target 23%. This number might be changed further depending on what the State Board decides in early May based on the hydrologic conditions of the

1 Weather: El Nino weakens and here comes La Nina, meteorologists say, David Downey, Riverside Press Enterprise, http://www.pe.com/articles/meteorologists-799898-say-nina.html


State. The State Board is hosting a workshop on April 20th ahead of their decision in early May to elicit input on how best to modify the existing emergency conservation restrictions and targets. Through March, the District has reduced water use by approximately 24.4% cumulatively since the start of the mandatory program in June. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) monitors the monthly totals to verify that agencies are on track to meet the cumulative goal. The following table summarizes the District’s progress through March.

Water use reduction in March was 32% for a cumulative total of 24% since the start of the mandatory reductions. The month was largely cool and damp although the area did not receive the predicted El Niño soaking rains.


Mission Viejo again led in reductions for the month with Ladera Ranch and Rancho Santa Margarita posting solid reductions as well. Talega/San Clemente and Hidden Ridge showed no reductions for the month. Califia Conversion Project The final phase of the project began in mid-April. Residents continue to see door hangers 5 – 7 days in advance of work in their neighborhood. The project is on track to be completed in May, 2016. The conversion will deliver some 221 AFY of recycled water to the HOA.


Next Steps Staff is working with polling firm Probolosky Research and developing focus groups to take place in late April. The purpose of the research is to determine attitudes and perspectives of customers relative to the drought overall, steps they believe they have taken in response, and what messages and/or initiatives would motivate them to continue conservation and use-efficiency as we continue in Round 2 of the drought.

April 14, 2016 Sent via email: [email protected] State Water Resources Control Board Attention: Jeanine Townsend, Clerk to the Board 1001 I Street, 24th Floor Sacramento, CA 95814 Subject: Comment Letter – Urban Water Conservation Workshop, Supply-Demand

Based Emergency Drought Regulation Compliance Framework Honorable Board Members: We appreciate the opportunity to provide input to the State Water Resources Control Board (“State Water Board”) on the potential modification of the current Emergency Regulation for Statewide Urban Water Conservation. We understand the importance of preserving water supplies, and are committed to helping the state manage water resources sustainably. We have attached a proposal for a Supply-Demand Based Emergency Drought Regulation Compliance Framework that can be used to address the three questions posed in the Notice of Public Workshop for Wednesday, April 20, 2016. 1) What elements of the existing February 2016 Emergency Regulation, if any, should be

modified and how so?

The Supply-Demand Based Emergency Drought Regulation Compliance Framework proposes that three basic requirements would be included in the current drought Emergency Regulation, as follows:

1. Imposition of mandatory water waste restrictions and end user requirements such as those included in the current Emergency Regulations that apply to all Californians;

mailto:[email protected]

2. Submittal by the urban water supplier of monthly reports to the State Water Resources Control Board on total potable water production, residential gallons per capita per day water use, current stage of the supplier’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and agency mechanisms to implement water waste restrictions; and

3. Requirement that an urban water supplier demonstrate through the Water Shortage Contingency Plan adopted by its governing body the ability to implement mandatory use reductions if necessary.

The target demand reductions should also be modified for the remaining period of the current

drought Emergency Regulation based upon a supply deficiency identified by urban water

suppliers. Urban water suppliers will submit:

1. A certification of supplies and demand to determine the targeted demand reduction (“Conservation Standard”), based upon the identified supply deficiency.

2. A supplemental analysis demonstrating that the urban water supplier can meet

projected demand through supply management, new supply augmentation and/or Water Shortage Contingency Plan conservation actions for an additional two years of drought.

2) How should the State Water Board account for regional differences in precipitation and

lingering drought impacts, and what would be the methods of doing so?

The proposed Supply-Demand Based Emergency Drought Regulation Compliance Framework which requires individual suppliers to certify the status of available supplies to meet demands automatically accounts for regional differences in hydrologic conditions. Since it is based on local conditions, it eliminates the need for credits and adjustments relative to local factors that affect water use. It will calibrate the required target demand reductions to the actual severity of shortages in water supplies for each water provider. To address lingering drought impacts, the proposal includes supplemental analysis demonstrating that the urban water supplier can meet projected demand through supply management, new supply augmentation, and/or Water Shortage Contingency Plan conservation actions for an additional two years of drought. The proposal also requires that an urban water supplier demonstrate through the Water Shortage Contingency Plan adopted by its governing body the ability to implement a mandatory use reduction stage.

3) To what extent should the State Water Board consider the reliability of urban water

supplier supply portfolios in this emergency regulation?

Providing a reliable water supply is a basic responsibility and legal mandate for water suppliers. We are proposing that the State Water Board consider the reliability of urban water supplier supply portfolios when determining the conservation standard for

individual agencies. The benefits of this approach include providing a strong incentive for local investments in developing sustainable supplies, water banking and storage, and water use efficiency programs. This approach also eliminates the need for credits and adjustments relative to local factors that influence water use such as climate, growth, and past conservation investments.

We thank you for your consideration of our proposed compliance framework and look forward to working with you to develop a modified Emergency Regulation in 2016.

Attachment 1: Supply-Demand Based Emergency Drought Regulation Compliance Framework

April 2016

Basic Requirements

Three basic requirements would be included in a modified drought Emergency Regulation, as follows:

1. Imposition of the mandatory water waste restrictions and end user requirements included in the current Emergency Regulations that apply to all Californians;

2. Submittal by the urban water supplier1of monthly reports to the State Water Resources Control Board on total potable water production, residential gallons per capita per day water use, current stage of the supplier’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan, and agency mechanisms to implement water waste restrictions; and

3. Requirement that an urban water supplier demonstrate through the Water Shortage Contingency Plan adopted by its governing body the ability to implement mandatory use reduction.

Supply/Demand Management

Target demand reductions would be revised for the remaining period of the current drought Emergency Regulation based upon a supply deficiencies identified by urban water suppliers. Urban water suppliers will submit:

1. A certification of supplies and demand to determine the targeted demand reduction (“Conservation Standard”), based upon the identified supply deficiency. Certifications will be prepared by the urban water supplier must be signed by a representative authorized to take such actions on behalf of the governing body of the supplier.

Supply Deficiency Target Demand Reduction

20% or more 20% or more

2. A supplemental analysis demonstrating that the urban water supplier can meet projected

demand through supply management, new supply augmentation and/or Water Shortage Contingency Plan conservation actions for an additional two years of drought.

Benefits of Proposed Approach

Ensures a baseline level of conservation through water the imposition of waste restrictions;

Calibrates the targeted demand reduction to the actual severity of shortages in water supplies for each water provider;

Provides a strong incentive for local investments in sustainable supplies, water banking and storage and water use efficiency programs;

Eliminates the need for credits and adjustments relative to local factors that influence water use such as climate, growth, and past conservation investments;

Requires planning for multi-year supply and demand scenarios and potentially extended drought conditions; and

Requires agencies to have effective Water Shortage Contingency Plans and extraordinary conservation measures in place to ensure demands do not exceed available supplies.

An urban water supplier shall certify supply and demand through the end of the year covered by Emergency Regulation and shall evaluate the sustainability of supplies for two additional years under a continuous drought scenario. In this hypothetical agency example:

Supplies are comprised of 50% surface water provided by a wholesale agency, 5% desalinated water, 25% recycled water and 20% groundwater;

Hydrologic conditions are dry in the initial year with surface water supplies reduced from 50% to 45% of available supply;

In year two and year three, the severely dry hydrologic conditions cause surface water deliveries to be impacted further, reducing to 30% of available supply;

In year three, a new desalination facility is brought on-line that provides an increase in 20% of the agency’s available supply; and

Demand is based on a three year average.
